The 26-4 Dolphins will bring a 19-game winning streak into the sectional semifinal clash against Massachusetts Instiute of Technology (MIT) while top-seeded Amherst will face host Franklin & Marshall.
The four host schools were announced by the NCAA on Sunday afternoon.
The winner of Saturday's championship game will advance to the Final Four in Salem, Va.
Game times will be announced on Monday.
MIT is 27-1 after defeating Farmingdale State 83-63 on Saturday night. The Engineers are ranked No. 3 in the D3hoops.com national poll.
CSI took advantage of the home-court advantage by upsetting Rhode Island College 77-67 on Saturday night in Willowbrook. The Dolphins won back-to-back NCAA tourney games for the first time in school history.
Hunter College was the last CUNY Conference school to make it to the Sweet 16, losing an Elite 8 contest for a chance at the Final Four in the 1998-99 season.
Amherst would have hosted the four-team sectional but the school's women's team also made the Sweet 16, forcing the men's team to play on the road in an even-numbered year scenario.

Jonathan Ross Once Told a Terrible Joke About Gay Kids. Turns Out, He Has One
Who doesn't love a father who comes out for them? Jonathan Ross, the British television host married to screenwriter Jane Goldman, yesterday revealed in a radio interview that his eldest daughter Betty Kitten is a lesbian. But, LOL, remember guyz back in May 2009 when he joked on his BBC radio show, when discussing a prize contest, that "if your son asks for a Hannah Montana MP3 player, you might want to already think about putting him down for adoption before he brings his… erm… partner home." GET IT? Because only faggy boys would like Hannah Montana, and those faggy kids should be put up for adoption? Sixty-one complaints to Ofcom and one Twitter apology later, Ross had moved on. Now you can too!
His joke was just a bad attempt at humor, something he rarely does well.
Fact Fail, queerty – Ross hasn't outed his daughter, her sexuality has been common knowledge for a while: she tweets about it on a regular basis. All he did was mention it in part of a conversation on Gaydar Radio where he was a guest – seems a pretty appropriate topic, given the venue, don't you think? lol
@Carl: I think, Carl, that the newspapers today generally ran with the story as ROSS OUTS DAUGHTER so maybe you should cut Queerty some slack.
Yeah, maybe.
But his daughter is already out. So he didn't out her.
The press are sensationalising a non-story.
@Ruinc: Just because other have done it too doesn't make it right.
He didn't out her, she is already out. All he did was answer a question put to him honestly ("what would you do if your daughter brought a girl home?" was the question). Also, it's worth noting that he didn't trot her sexuality out when he was in the middle of the s**t storm over that bad taste joke. All the guy did was answer a question honestly – if his daughter wasn't out, he would have just said "a family member".
Personally, I'm kind of tired of all these attacks on the guy – no matter what he does, someone attacks him. Had he not answered the question – or done so with the "family member" approach – and it later came out he would have been accused of homophobia. There are worse people on TV – Alan Carr for one, who is the worse thing for gay men since chemical castration.
Betty Kitten? What kind of name is THAT? Regardless, Jonathan Ross has apparently not put his daughter Kitty Bitten "down for adoption." That's progress, no?
God, this blog makes gay people look like the most thin skinned idiots. People make jokes, they aren't all literally saying what's on their mind, they're making an observation about what they see as absurd. Ya'll are humorless idiots.
this blog is an embarassment to straight lurkers and potential sympathizers. you guys are worse than al sharpton./
gays can fight their own battles with fists or a thick skin
This San Francisco fag thinks Jonathan Ross is hilarious. Also, I do not think he is or ever has been a homophobe. In fact, I distinctly remember many times on his show when he's commented on a male guest's attractiveness in a way that comedically winked that maybe he wasn't all-the-way straight. I neither know nor care whether he's got a bi bone in his body. I just know that he includes "the gay" in his comedy all the time, and it's almost always been just fine. Like a lot of successful comedians and talk show hosts, Ross has an exquisite sense of the appropriate, for any given situation.


text: alright my baby girl was born feb.22 2006. when we were at the hospital after she was born she had a problem with latching on. so after we were released from the hospital she didnt want to latch on still. well i was set on breastfeeding her! well up until yesterday i was pumping and giving it to her out of a bottle. well now finally she is latching on. btw im so proud of her and tell her. well i was wondering on how long she should be feeding for? she is feeding for 20-25min. every 2hours give or take. but in the process of feeding she falls asleep. i try wiggling her arms and feet or tickling her feet to get her to wake up. i guess i am just wondering if 20-25min. is "normal" for her to feed for. i do however try switching breasts and it works for awhile until she is asleep again and wont take it anymore.

Target, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is recalling about 560,000 pajama sets due to a burn hazard.
The two-piece pajama sets were sold last year from August 2012 through November 2012.
The children's cotton/fleece pajamas fail to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear, which poses a burn hazard to children.
This recall involves Target Circo and Xhilaration children's cotton or cotton/fleece two-piece pajama sets. They were sold in infant and toddler sizes 12M, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T, and in girls and boys sizes XS, S, M, L and XL. There are a variety of colors and designs.
Consumers should not dress children in these pajama sets. Please return any of these pajama sets to any Target store for a full refund.

He served as Lt. Commander of the Mobile Sea Cadets for 40 plus years, it says, adding that he was named Honorary Admiral by the Governor.

One of the reasons for West Virginia's late collapses, according to guard Terry Henderson, may be fatigue. Some players aren't heeding their head coach's advice to play hard and then call for a substitution when they get tired, leading to costly moments when opponents are able to put forth more effort than the Mountaineers.
For his part, coach Bob Huggins all but seemed out of answers. The Mountaineers have tried different tactics on offense and defense, and seemingly nothing has worked consistently enough for this team to improve. Time and time again, players did not listen to advice they had received for the last week -- hardly an encouraging sign heading into a stretch when games will occur more frequently.

He's ready to get back in the net.
The good news for the Grand Rapids Griffins — and, by extension, the parent club Detroit Red Wings — is that the veteran goaltender is close to returning to the team after missing the past eight games with a concussion.
"I hate coming to the rink and watching guys play. I should be out there," MacDonald said. "But it was one of those things. They wanted to make sure I was 100 percent healthy. Even myself, I wanted to know I'm 100 percent and be ready."
MacDonald skated for the first time Thursday morning at Van Andel Arena with Red Wings goaltending development coach Chris Osgood. He said the 30-minute session went well, and he plans to face some shots Friday and hopefully return to practice with the Griffins on Monday.
"I felt good. No headaches," MacDonald said. "That was the main thing, getting rid of the headaches."
MacDonald hasn't played since he was run over by Chris Terry of the Charlotte Checkers on Nov. 5. MacDonald hit the back of his head on the crossbar and had to leave the ice holding his head with a towel.
Terry subsequently was suspended for two games for the incident.
MacDonald was cleared to resume skating early this week after he traveled to Detroit to meet with the Red Wings' doctor.
He's aiming to return to the Griffins lineup for their games against either Milwaukee on Dec. 9 or Rockford on Dec. 10, and wants to get at least four or five games under his belt before the holidays.
The Griffins certainly would welcome that since MacDonald had started this season strong with a .930 save percentage and 2.17 goals-against average through nine games. He also had two shutouts.
That also may help put the Red Wings at ease should either Jimmy Howard or Ty Conklin be unavailable.
Griffins coach Curt Fraser said Osgood will remain in Grand Rapids into next week to work with MacDonald.
"Hopefully that will help decrease Joey's off time and get him back into the mix because we really need him," Fraser said.
MacDonald also is looking forward to returning since he only was able to ride the stationary bike starting this week.
"They didn't really want you doing anything until the headaches went away," he said. "Once those went away, then I had my concussion test.
"Now, it's getting back into shape. It sucks. You couldn't do anything for two weeks, no running, bike or anything."

In his elegant, philosophically oriented works, Alain de Botton has explored the worlds of architecture, travel and self-help. In "The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work," the Swiss-born, London-based author (and proprietor of the curiosity shop the School of Life), turns his sharp eye, poet's knack for turns of phrase and seemingly endless historical knowledge on "the world of occupations." De Botton shadows 10 distinct professions and worlds from accountancy to painting, profiling workers and their larger bureaucracies, removing himself from the story enough to feel downright journalistic at times.
It's a lovely, lively, thought-provoking and eminently quotable book, and one need not be remotely interested in biscuit manufacture or rocket science to glean endless treasures from the countless disciplines -- history, psychology, sociology, philosophy -- de Botton expertly evokes. It's enough to make you wonder why you've never equated the office coffee machine with its ancestral predecessor (the whip) or fully appreciated the number of minds and hands required to bring us satellite TV.
The section on career counseling, in which the author shadows a counselor, Robert Symons, to meetings and conferences, is the most revealing about our relationships to work at large. The most pervasive change, de Botton states, was the redefining of work around the 18th century as something beyond "more than a punishment or a penance," that was, instead, capable of bringing us joy and meaning.
Yet the ever-increasing division of labor and specialization of most jobs allows for what would have been absurdities to our ancestors: suburbanites clueless about the name of the man who caught their fish; accountants unable to mend their own clothes; employees at a biscuit factory who have nothing to do with the food itself, far removed from the end result of their labors. Without understanding how our role may bring happiness to others, many modern jobs are unfulfilling, de Botton argues, so the obsession with finding such a role that at least makes us happy is unsurprising.
The book, conceived as a joint photo essay with Richard Baker, includes images every few pages. Even though de Botton convincingly implores us to reconsider the lives of human resource managers at accountancy firms enough to be impressed by them, the accompanying images are unfailingly gloomy. This industrial-strength dreariness, at once heavy on artificial landscapes and light on everything else, detracts from de Botton's argument about the quiet beauty and dignity of work. In the right light, they can serve as wonderful moments of pause in a thought-heavy book.
Don't let these detract from the book as a whole: With de Botton's humor, boundless erudition and capable turns of phrase, it's the best work yet (and certainly the best-timed) from a pre-eminent genre-bender, one certain to find a welcome home in the hands of anyone making a living.

Good food day today!
Breakfast: raw milk kefir smoothie with frozen berries & 1/2 banana
snacks: fresh berries (oh how I love berry season...)
lunch: an entire bunch of chard, steamed, with raw butter & balsamic vinegar, and a chicken thigh
afternoon post-nap snack: 1/2 bell pepper with liverwurst
dinner: grilled sockeye salmon, a mess of tomatoes, onions & spinach, and cauliflower
I feel very food-virtuous today
First of all... Congratulations Spughy!
I'm on day 4! Woohoo! So far, I don't feel much carb flu. When I did it last July, I felt like I was run through the ringer. I feel pretty good this time. Probably because my diet didn't change as drastically this time. I'm still eating the same basic diet, minus the dairy and occasional piece of bread.
Rachel - good luck. The whole30 really does the trick to get me to tighten up my diet. I also miss dairy and eating corn. Those things make it a little easier to eat out with friends. I'm hoping that when I reintroduce dairy, that it doesn't bother me too much. I'd really like to be able to eat it once in a while.
Congratulations Spughy!! That is such great news. (And your meals for the day look delicious!)
I'm cranking along. Had an omlette with tomatos, bacon, and broccoli for breakfast. Just had a big salad and some fresh squeezed lemonade for lunch. Going to IF now until breakfast tomorrow, a solid 20 hours. I've found I'm almost never hungry at night but eat because its "dinner time" and I'm usually post work out. I leave for vacation on Cape Cod for a week tomorrow evening! Can't wait!! A full 8 days of running on the beach, swimming, and delicious primal food. (We get a bonfire permit for the beach one night every vacation and I marinate steak tips to cook over it instead of marshmallows, so much yummier)
It is always too early to quit.
Went primal- 02/25/12, height: 5'6", starting weight: 143.0, current weight: 133.8
"Doubt never stops. Neither do you."- Prove People Wrong.
Spughy! Congrats! So cool! Were you paleo with your other pregnancies or is this your first? Curious bc husband and I are planning for sometime next yr and I want to continue w the same food choices!
Anyway, I completed 41 days of the whole30. I was struggling w adding things back in bc I dont really "crave" anything else right now. I did want some frozen yogurt last night, so I went w my family and got some. I literally had 10 spoonfuls bc I didn't want to get sick. Well, I felt ok. Survived. But couldn't take how damn sweet the yogurt was! I'd rather have frozen bananas and mangos and call it a night.
Needless to say, Im just going strict paleo and keeping it that way. I'll still stalk this page though
Day 12 today (for me). Feeling drained today. I LHT on Wednesday and I think I'm still recovering. Very sore legs from doing squats. rest of me feels ok/decent. I'm up 2 lbs too, which I will blame on the muscle recovery water gain? Yeah, that's what I'll do b/c I've been perfectly perfect with my food choices, so I know it's not water gain from anything diet related.
Sinuses are still acting up and I'm getting mighty damn tired of it. Think I'll call the ENT today and see if I have to have a referral or if I can just schedule an appointment. I've had this sinus crap since Mother's Day and I'm ready for it to go away. It's literally making me angry. ***EDIT*** Made an appt with an ENT for next Friday. She said I may be sent across the street for a CT scan... yippee skippee.
I think I may have to give up almonds as a snack food. I was having some sciatic pain yesterday and couldn't figure out why b/c I was eating Whole30 approved foods. I even checked the ingredients on my almonds and there's no PUFAs or anything used. Says almonds and salt are the only ingredients. But then I read some of It Starts with Food last night and the Good Hartwigs say that almonds are high in naturally occuring PUFA's. And that typically there are enough antioxidants occuring naturally that the PUFAs don't oxidize, but roasting the almonds can destroy the antioxidants. My almonds are roasted and salted (they use that fine grain powdery salt so they don't coat the almonds in oil first, I guess, since no oils are listed in the ingredients). So I think the almonds were causing the sciatic pain. Sad day for me b/c I really enjoy almonds, but I do NOT enjoy sciatic pain, so I'll give it a try and see if that's what the problem is.
Aaannd... I think that's it... I hope everyone is having a W30 day!
Jenn is it possible your sciatic pain is related to body alignment/activity and not diet? I mean, unless you're downing a ton of those tasty-sounding almonds... I would go see an RMT who does myofascial release. You might have twinged something with the squats or just slept weird or something. Not everything that goes awry is food-related! I kept getting weird numbness and tingling in my arm - nothing I did diet-wise affected it, so I went to a good massage guy and found out that my shoulder had rotated forward and was pushing on a nerve - a couple sessions and some maintenance work and it's all fixed.
Good food day again yesterday: breakfast of a bowl of diced fruit with my raw milk kefir poured over it (my stick blender was in the dishwasher), lunch was liverwurst on bell pepper and a sardine & sauerkraut salad, berry snacks plus a bit of good salami, and dinner was pork & mushroom meatballs in tomato-coconut curry sauce with cauliflowers and green beans.
Spughy, I already see a chiropractor for MFR. I saw her all year last year - weekly - for this same thing before switching to Primal. After primal, it all went away. The problem is that my piriformis muscle gets tight and pinches the sciatic where it travels through the pelvis. The pain I seem to have now is temporary. It's like it flares up and then goes away a few hours later. Last night, it occurred about 2 hours after eating some almonds. Last week I experienced the same flare up (also on a Thursday - I remember the day b/c I was in class during both flares), and had also eaten almonds that day as well. The common denominator for both days was almonds and Hormel nitrate/nitrate free lunch meats and classroom chairs (we have the same chairs in my bosses office at the conference table, so I don't think the chairs are to blame).
I will start with the almonds and see if that helps. If it flares up again, I'll look at what I've had to eat that day. Experiment of one, right?

By JOSEPH WILSON
Associated Press
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- For the second time in two days, defending Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel had to walk away from his malfunctioning Red Bull and watch Lewis Hamilton speed by in his Mercedes at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Hamilton blazed to his fourth pole position in five races this season on Saturday after a faulty gearbox left Vettel without power in his RB10 with just under 10 minutes to go in qualifying. Vettel now faces a 10th-place start in Sunday's race.
Vettel says he hopes the gearbox wasn't damaged because an unscheduled change would incur a five-place grid penalty, meaning he would be dropped to 15th.
This latest setback came after Vettel was stranded just four laps into Friday's practice due to a short in the car's electrical system.

A Reedsport police officer and two Douglas County sheriff's deputies have been placed on paid administrative after an officer-involved shooting in Reedsport.
The shooting occurred Thursday afternoon in the 1000 block of North Eighth Street. Oregon State Police said two sheriff's deputies and two Reedsport police officers responded to the area after a reported disturbance at a mobile home park.
Law enforcement was confronted by an armed man, and shots were exchanged, Oregon State Police said. The suspect was shot at least once and was injured. The man is being treated at Lower Umpqua Hospital. His identity and condition are unknown.
A Reedsport officer and two deputies have been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.
The Douglas County Major Crimes Team, which is led by the Oregon State Police Criminal Investigations Division, is conducting the investigation.
No officers were injured during the shooting.

Here is what Ramsey noted he doesn't mind spending the extra money on:
Toilet paper
I don't agree with this, especially paying full price. There are ways you can still enjoy the comforts of this necessity of choice by carefully planning out your shopping trips with coupons combined with sale prices – it just takes some effort. Still, if there are no coupons or good sale prices available, I would still buy the best value.
My only stipulation is it must be two-ply. Otherwise, I'm just not willing to spend a lot of money on TP.
Trash bags
I agree with him here, especially when it comes to quality kitchen trash bags. If you go cheap, you'll more than likely end up with a big mess. Dollar store brands are the worse, and I've made that mistake only to have to clean up a split bag that has dropped all over the floor. So when I see a deal on good bags, I usually stock up.
When you get coupons at the grocery store that are $10 off when you spend $50, use it for $50 worth of trash bags – they will not go to waste.
Of special note: Recycling and composting can dramatically cut your cost of trash bags, and some municipalities require you to buy special bags. Unfortunately, these do not go on sale.
Running shoes
Quality matters when it comes to sneakers for running, walking or exercise. Cheaper brands don't last, and you don't want to damage your feet or injure yourself over a few dollars.
However, keep your eyes open for deals on all types of running, walking, and casual shoes as well as clearance sales in the stores. You should never have to pay full price or overpay for quality shoes.
If you're talking about going out to eat, then yes, I agree – don't hit up the fast food chain for a $1 burger to only pay for it later in life. You can stop there and get a salad for a decent price if you're in a rush. But if I'm going to dinner, there is no need to skimp on quality food for your family while being mindful of coupon offers that appear in-paper, online or through local savings cards.
When it comes to groceries, I disagree. If a generic brand is available for a cheaper price, I will buy it. It's debatable whether it's lower in quality. When it comes to meats or seafood, I go to the grocery store like most. I shop the sales. Same with produce – I don't buy "organic," so I guess my quality of veggies are not as good as they could be but I find them just fine.
With proper planning and a little effort, you can watch for deals at your local grocery stores. Always stock up on products you use a lot when you have a good coupon or they go on sale. I can't wait for the summer when I can save a little on quality foods through the local farmer's markets and co-ops.
He has me here, and I totally agree - splurge.
I've purchased 250 or lower thread count sheets over the years only to feel the pills on my skin – yuck. I have a hard enough time sleeping and when I go to bed at night, I want to be as comfortable as I can get for a good night's sleep to be totally refreshed for the next day. I need my sheets to be fresh, smooth and even silk-like.
My favorite is Egyptian sheets – they're a bit pricey, but there are always sales on sheets. Shop around for a great deal, and January is the best time to see the big deals on linens and bedding.
Office chairs
We have a cheap chair at home, but most of the time we lounge on the sofa or recliner with a laptop. However, if you spend hours sitting on an office chair, I would agree that a cheap chair usually doesn't have good ergonomics and can cause back issues.
Staples and other office supply stores usually run good specials, and you can sign up to get coupons and combine them with a deal to save even more. I have purchased $200 chairs for $75 in the past and they were excellent chairs with superior ergonomics and lumbar support.
This is another one of those items where you must ask what quality means to you. Yes, there is some really cheap flatware out there that bends, rusts and tarnishes – stay away from those. But you don't have to buy Oneida or sterling silver. For the most part, a fork is a fork and if it doesn't prevent me from eating, I don't care what it looks like.
I bought my dishes and flatware at Bradlees (a store that existed a million years ago) and they have lasted the 20-plus years of our marriage.
Hair cuts
I don't mind splurging on a quality hair cut… really. There is nothing worse to me than a bad hair cut.
Although I shop around for the best deals, I will not stay at a cheap hotel. I just can't get past the "who slept here before me" factor (human or not). We budget for it, and I never mind spending the extra money relax and enjoy ourselves.
Laundry soap
This is another item I'm not willing to skimp on. I usually buy Tide or Arm & Hammer Oxy. I have tried BOGO deals on Dynamo and it's like washing your clothes with colored water. Instead, I save it to wash out the trash cans, throw rugs, stuff I don't need to use my expensive laundry soap on.
But of course I never pay full price and always use coupons – I'll stock up on when there is a good sale.

Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas is out for awhile. Knee problems have sidelined the forlorn gamer for the next threee months.
The NBA All Star Game is set for New Orleans in Feb. Get your tickets now and visit the Crescent City. Despite the pounding by the national media, New Orleans is making a strong comeback bid and has not only the NBA coming to town but the Sugar Bowl and the BCS National Championship Game.

The Orlando Magic are posting double digit wins early in the season. Will they be a force later this year? I'm doubtful.
The Chicago Bulls are in the tank. Scott Skiles will have to do his best coaching job ever to get this team out of the funky malaise that's overcome one of the NBA's most promising young teams.

One of the best ways to get a quick advantage in any fantasy draft is to understand the comebacks. Whether it's Tommy John or knee surgery, the idea that any player can be predicted is false. It's only some injuries and some players that can be accurately predicted. Anything outside of that adds to the risk portfolio of any team and/or fantasy team.
In this slideshow, I've selected 10 players that have a rehab that could alter the fortunes of themselves and their teams. Albert Pujols might be a value if he slides in your fantasy draft, but he could also alter the values of the pitchers on the team and the players hitting around him in the lineup. If Derek Holland can come back, some of the pressure on the Rangers bullpen will be relieved.
There's always context, so it's important to understand where these players are, what a reasonable expectation is and how to value them. I checked with team officials, medical staff and scouts before writing these up to give you the best view. Of course, throughout the season I'll be following these and the rest of the injuries in my Under The Knife column. For now, let's take a look at 10 of the most impactful injury rehabs as we head into the 2014 season.

SPRINGFIELD - Luis Fontanez pleaded guilty Wednesday to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal stabbing of Jose O. Reyes-Torres on Dec. 3, 2008.
Fontanez, 48, of 25 Portland St., will be sentenced Nov. 18.
Assistant District Attorney Carmen W. Picknally said he wanted to give the victim's mother a chance to fly here from Puerto Rico if she wished to be heard at the sentencing.
Picknally said when he presents his sentencing argument Nov. 18, he will ask for 12-15 years in state prison.
There is no agreement between prosecution and defense for the sentence length, and defense lawyer Jeffrey S. Brown is expected to ask for a lesser amount than Picknally.
The agreement was that Fontanez, who faced a murder charge, could plea to voluntary manslaughter and that the state wouldn't ask for more than the 12-15-year sentence.
Hampden District Court Judge Cornelius J. Moriarty accepted Fontanez's guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter and home invasion. Picknally asked for a concurrent sentence on the home invasion charge.
Reyes-Torres, 29, of 109 Parkside St., died as a result of a stab wound to the heart suffered during a 9 a.m. fight at 25 Portland St. in the city's North End.
Police found him collapsed in a pool of blood at Main and Portland streets.
Picknally said that the fatal stabbing began when the victim and Fontanez got into a fight. Fontanez said the fight was over drugs.
Fontanez said that he did not start the fight, but did go upstairs to his apartment and get a knife and go back to the downstairs apartment.
Reyes-Torres ran toward the back door of the downstairs apartment and could not get the door open, Fontanez said. Fontanez stabbed the victim in the chest.
Police saw Fontanez on Main Street, and he told them he stabbed someone, Picknally said. Fontanez told police he had a knife and handed it to them.
"He was a very cooperative murder suspect," Picknally said.

Iran has tapped a member of the group that held 52 American hostages in Tehran for more than a year to be its next ambassador to the United Nations.
The government has applied for a U.S. visa for Hamid Aboutalebi, Bloomberg reports. Aboutalebi was a member of the group known as the Muslim Students Following the Imam's Line who were adherents to the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The group seized the U.S. Embassy on Nov. 4, 1979 and held American staffers hostage for 444 days until Ronald Reagan's inauguration in 1981.
The U.S. State Department hasn't responded to the visa application and the appointment is expected to create a firestorm among lawmakers. Aboutalebi has already served as ambassador to Belgium and Italy.
Aboutalebi said he didn't take part in the initial occupation of the embassy but acted as translator and negotiator, according to an Iranian state news site.
"On a few other occasions, when they needed to translate something in relation with their contacts with other countries, I translated their material into English or French," Aboutalebi said. "I did the translation during a press conference when the female and black staffers of the embassy were released, and it was purely based on humanitarian motivations."
The U.S. is obliged to grant entry visas to representatives of UN member-states in accordance with an agreement signed in 1947, Bloomberg reports.

NEW YORK — For the past decade, the Mets have maintained a link with the survivors of the Sept. 11 attacks. They provided aid immediately, using Shea Stadium as a staging area for rescuers. The organization still funds various Sept. 11 charities. The team itself also provided a measure of catharsis 10 days after the towers fell.
As Shea hosted the city's first baseball game back, Piazza launched a memorable home run that night, a two-run shot that secured a victory and provided a temporary salve for a grieving city. Ten years later, in a different ballpark, the sight of Piazza still elicited roars from the crowd, as he led a group of first responders onto the diamond as part of a remembrance ceremony at Citi Field. Piazza was joined by former teammates John Franco, Robin Ventura, Steve Trachsel and Todd Zeile. Each man led a separate group from the city's service agencies.
The team wore hats memorializing the first-responders. Unfurled in the outfield was a 300-foot-by-100-foot American flag. The stadium lights were dimmed for the National Anthem. Franco threw out the first pitch. Piazza caught it. As a bagpipe brigade played "Amazing Grace," the flag was hauled off the field and the first-responders were saluted. The fans remained standing, with applause filling the ballpark once more.

In late November, I asked
my Twitter followers and blog
readers for their top five albums of 2010. Today's recommendations come
from Donnie Garvich of Pyrite Parachute.
It's always fun for
me to take a look back over my favorite albums from the past year.
Looking at my annual preferences is a nice little way to see how my
musical tastes have changed. This year found me preferring more
folk-based bands than ever before. As a result my favorite five are a
little scattered in genre... They're all still performing bands (not
solo singer based acts), but seemingly the only truly common thing
between them all is strength in songwriting. Maybe it's my way
of subconsciously battling the Biebers, Gagas and industrial music
machines of the world. Or maybe it's because I've begun to appreciate
music in finer detail as I get older. Who knows, but I know my
preferences this year were vastly different than those of five years
So in order of preference:
- Railroad Earth - Railroad Earth
- Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More
- John Butler Trio - April Uprising
- Tea Leaf Green - Looking West
- Ben Folds and Nick Hornby - Lonely Avenue
To give you a more complete idea of what I was listening to this year, here are a couple of other albums that almost made it:
Robert Randolph & The Family Band - If I Had My Way
Disco Biscuits - Planet Anthem
Widespread Panic - Dirty Side Down

Editor's note: This is the third in a series of stories profiling the four candidates for Ann Arbor mayor in the Aug. 5 primary. Read our earlier stories on Sabra Briere and Stephen Kunselman, and stay tuned this week for the final story on Christopher Taylor.
Sally Hart Petersen has lived in Ann Arbor for the past 18 years, but her story begins in Massachusetts.
One of four daughters of an Episcopal minister and a psychotherapist, she grew up in a church rectory in a town called North Attleboro.
"Where I grew up, it was an economically disadvantaged neighborhood, but we were all kind of blind to it," she said. "I have fond memories of playing kickball, kick the can and sardines with the neighborhood kids in the church parking lot."
Born in Salem in 1964, Petersen and her family moved to North Attleboro in 1970.
She said her father was a civil rights activist in the 1960s, traveling to Alabama to march with Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965.
"He was pretty brave about that," she said. "He stood up for what he believed in, and I think that's something he taught us to do as well."
Petersen, who has an older sister who is cognitively impaired, says the virtues of tolerance, patience and acceptance were instilled in her at an early age.
Petersen graduated from Williams College, a private liberal arts school in Williamstown, Mass., in 1986. She went on to earn her MBA from Harvard in 1993.
In between, she discovered Ann Arbor.
"I did that run several days I was here, so that's how I kind of got to know the neighborhoods and the connectivity between the school and the parks, and I remember thinking this would be a great place to raise a family," she said.
Two years later, at a small pub in northwestern Massachusetts, she met Tim Petersen, who happened to be from Ann Arbor. They had been classmates at Williams College, she said, but they didn't know each other well.
They hit it off and eventually started dating long distance — until Petersen was admitted to Harvard and moved to Boston.
"We got married right after I graduated," she said. "We stayed in Boston for three years, and then he wanted to come to business school in Ann Arbor."
They made the move to Ann Arbor in 1996 with their five-week-old son, Jack. Two years later, their daughter Jane was born.
In Ann Arbor, Petersen went to work for CFI Group — a company that does customer satisfaction consulting — and stayed there a little over four years.
She then turned her focus to the nonprofit world and was president of the Junior League of Ann Arbor from 2002 to 2003.
She also has served as president of the Tappan Middle School PTSO and Angell Elementary PTO, and on the boards of the Ann Arbor Art Center, Ann Arbor Area Community Tennis Association, and Racquet Club of Ann Arbor. She is secretary of the Huron Athletic Booster Club, and on the board of the Neutral Zone.
In 2003, she went to work for ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, where she stayed until 2005 before going to HealthMedia Inc., where she stayed until 2007.
Petersen's husband is a managing partner at Ann Arbor-based Arboretum Ventures, a venture capital firm specializing in the health care sector.
A self-described marketing and business development expert, Petersen believes her leadership experience in the private, public and nonprofit sectors makes her uniquely qualified to lead Ann Arbor forward into its next era of growth.
In addition to increased collaboration between the city and University of Michigan, a central theme of Petersen's campaign is economic development, and she says the city needs an economic strategy. She's also an unabashed supporter of economic development group Ann Arbor SPARK, which the city helps fund.
Her husband's firm is one of the founding donors of SPARK, a connection some of Petersen's critics have questioned.
But, she maintains, "I don't get any return on investment for any kind of charitable donation my husband's company might have made to SPARK in its first year."
Petersen was elected to the City Council in 2012, ousting incumbent Tony Derezinski, one of Mayor John Hieftje's allies.
She says it's evident there are two factions on council, which she describes as "the mayor's party" and "the anti-mayor party."
"I'm not on either side," says Petersen, who has embraced the nickname "swing-vote Sally" for being the sixth vote on issues that divided the council.
"The people who are against the mayor's policies, sometimes they're against them for good reasons," she said. "I was with them on repealing the pedestrian crossing ordinance because I honestly felt like it was unsafe. But I was not with them when it came to 413 E. Huron, because I honestly felt like the long-term economic health of Ann Arbor would have been at risk if we hadn't approved the project."
The vote on the 14-story high-rise was 6-5, passing with Petersen's support. The vote on the crosswalk law was 6-4 to repeal, an action the mayor vetoed.
Petersen has sponsored 15 pieces of legislation since joining council. That includes resolutions to create a new Economic Development Collaborative Task Force, to request training for council members on conflicts of interest and professional standards of conduct, to encourage the Downtown Development Authority to fund downtown police, to eliminate $326,464 in public art expenditures from the city budget, and to ask U-M to remove its new digital billboard outside the Big House.
She also sponsored a resolution directing the city administrator to look into options for controlling the deer population in the city.
Petersen serves on the city's Audit Committee, Zoning Board of Appeals, Brownfield Review Committee, Commission on Disability Issues and the Local Development Finance Authority, among other assignments.
She commissioned a citizen satisfaction survey last year to get feedback from residents, and she says that has informed her agenda.
"What I learned was that overall residents are not feeling like they're getting their value for the taxes that they pay," she said.
"We all want better roads. We all want better parks. Most of us want more public safety. We want better services. But how are we going to pay for them?"
Petersen's allegiance to the Democratic Party has been questioned at times, which she says is "ridiculous" and actually became a joke in her family.
"I mean, I grew up in a very Democratically active family," she said, noting she campaigned for Michael Dukakis, the Democratic governor of Massachusetts, when he ran for president against George Bush in 1988.
Petersen had been working in Atlanta at the time.
"In 1987, just before I left Atlanta, I set up his Atlanta office," she said. "And then the day of the election in 1988, I worked the phones in Indianapolis and played hooky from work to go do that. And I was on the news that night, so I was busted at work the next day for taking off early. So yeah, I'm a real Democrat."

Knitted Serpentine Pattern
By: Heather Gibbs from Heather's Knitting Designs
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Knitted Serpentine Pattern is great for those who are new to cable knitting. You can use this motif when creating scarves, sweaters, wraps, and more. The twisted snake look is a traditional technique that every knitter should know how to do!
- Needle Size: 10.5
- Yarn: Worsted Weight Yarn
Finished Size: 6 x 9 inches
Gauge: 5.16 stitches per inch
Cast On: 29 stitches
C6F - Slip 3 stitches to the front, Knit 3 stitches then Knit 3 stitches from the cable needle
C6B – Slip 3 stitches to the back, Knit 3 stitches then Knit 3 stitches from the cable needle
Moss Stitch: On odd numbered rows you are going to K1, P1, K1, P1.
On the even numbered rows you are going to knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.
[TIP: One thing I do is that I add a stitch marker after the first 5 stitches are done (moss stitches) and I add one before the last 5 stitches (also moss stitches). I do this, because on the Wrong Side rows (the even numbered rows) you knit the knits and purl the purls but when you get to the moss you don't. The stitch markers let me know when I'm there. I don't have to worry about looking ahead on every single row.]
The cable pattern is in bold if you wish to change the stitches between them and the border stitches.
Rows 1, 3, 7, 9: 4 moss, P3, K6, P3, K6, P3, 4 moss
Rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12: Knit the knits and purl the purls
Row 5: 4 moss, P3, C6F , P3, C6F, P3, 4 moss
Row 11: 4 moss, P3, C6B, P3, C6B, P3, 4 moss
Repeat rows 1-12
- When you reach the size required you can bind off and weave in the ends.

A couple months ago, local sports historian Greg Peterson left a large envelope on my desk in The Post-Journal sports department. Its contents included the manuscript entitled, ''All Star Sports Night,'' which measured more than an inch thick.
Wonderfully written and researched by Tom Hyde, the son of former Post-Journal sports editor Frank Hyde, the tome tells the history of the sports dinner - organized by the Men's Club of Temple Hesed Abraham in Jamestown - which was held annually from 1952-1976 in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Jamestown. Along the way, such stars as Joe Louis, Jim Brown, Mickey Mantle, Pete Rose, Jesse Owens, Terry Bradshaw, Bob Gibson and Roberto Clemente visited Jamestown. Ernie Banks, Johnny Unitas, Bill Veeck and Howard Cosell also appeared at various times during the 24-year history of the event.
Those names weren't a surprise to me as I read Tom's fascinating account, which appears to still be a work in progress. Fact is, I'd attended six of the dinners when I was growing up and, years later, I'd written columns for The Post-Journal about those special winter evenings.
I must admit, however, that I was floored this week when I was reminded by Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame president Randy Anderson that among the featured guests from the 1956 All Star Sports Night were Brooklyn Dodger great Jackie Robinson, along with comedienne and Jamestown native Lucille Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz. Ball and Arnaz were in town for the world premier of their new film, ''Forever Darling.''
Armed with that information, I retreated to The Post-Journal's library Thursday night, found the microfilm labeled "February 1956,'' feathered it into the projector and searched for the date - Feb. 6. I wasn't disappointed. The coverage, provided by Frank Hyde and his staff, was complete and entertaining. The photos supplemented Hyde's work tremendously and included a panoramic shot of the dais spread out over two pages.
Two people, sitting side by side, drew my immediate attention.
On the left was Robinson. On the right was Jamestown native Jim McCusker, who was then in the middle of an All-American football career at the University of Pittsburgh.
Talk about a find!
Because of my renewed interest in all things Robinson - I loved the release of ''42'' on the big screen this spring - I enthusiastically read Frank Hyde's account of Jackie's speech.
Below the headline ''800 Hear Robinson Plea for Racial Tolerance,'' following is Hyde's reporting of the Hall-of-Famer's speech, along with comments from Arnaz and further reporting by Post-Journal staffers Jerry Scorse and Vern Larson.
From Hyde:
A plea for tolerance toward the Negro race and a verbal hotfoot for the American Amateur Athletic Union mingled with the usual humor and light banter that amused and held the attention of more than 800 sports dinner customers at the Hotel Jamestown last night.
Desi Arnaz was one of the speakers and his charming wife, home-grown Lucille Ball, appeared briefly midway through the program and these added attractions no doubt contributed to the appeal of the fifth annual Temple Hesed Abraham Men's Club affair.
The crowd overflowed into a downstairs room for the meal but was able to sardine its way into the Crystal Ballroom before the program got under way.
Quick-witted and affable Dizzy Trout, former Detroit pitcher, held down the emcee post.
Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn infielder and the first Negro to break organized baseball's color barrier, talked baseball - but he also dwelt to some lengths on the problems of his race and its progress toward recognition.
Miler Wes Santee and bobsledder Stan Benham, both in the AAU doghouse, laid it on the line in hard-hitting talks that added to the sobering note fathered by Robinson.
"We,'' Robinson said in speaking of the Negro race, "have made wonderful advances and have pushed aside many obstacles. We never ease the fight until we have eliminated the obstacles that now face us and continue to put America in a bad light with the rest of the world.''
Jackie emphasized the importance of the present moves toward non-segregation on the world's diplomatic stage.
"The entire world is wondering,'' he said in a quiet, well-modulated voice that arose only when he wished to drive home a point. "We can preach democracy as much as we wish, but the world will never truly and fully accept our democracy as long as racial discrimination exists, for no nation is stronger than its weakest link.''
Robinson traced his baseball career briefly and his trials as a professional player. He lauded Branch Rickey, now retired president of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who, as general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, brought Robinson into the major leagues.
"Mr. Rickey's guidance and assurance, many times volunteered by long distance telephone, helped me over the bad spots,'' he added.
Desi, his voice choking with emotion, described the "terrific reception Lucy and I have received in Jamestown" and went on to explain their program theme is "good, clean humor in these times when entirely too many gangster, murder, and dope pictures and programs are being fed to our younger people.''
Lucy arrived as Desi held the stage, kissed her famed husband and described the Jamestown and area reception as "out of this world - far beyond our wildest imagination."
Under the headline, ''Fanfare From the Banquet Front,'' Scorse and Larson provided more news and notes about Robinson's visit to Jamestown.
Jackie Robinson strongly implied that unless he has an exceptional season this will be his final year of professional baseball.
"I don't want to be one of these guys who hangs around just to get money out of the ball club,'' Robinson warned.
But he reiterated his intention to win the Dodger third base job and vowed "if anyone goes down there (spring training) with the idea of sitting on the bench, he shouldn't be in baseball."
Snappily dressed in a black wool suit, Jackie, who turned 36 just a week ago, indicated he would neither anticipate nor relish a managerial post upon retirement.
Renowned for the fierce competitive spirit that makes him one of the game's most feared clutch hitters, Robinson will present former boss Branch Rickey with the National Human Relations Award at the National Conference of Christians and Jews in Hartford, Conn., Feb. 23.
And Robbie thinks it'll be the Dodgers, Giants and Cincinnati battling for the National League pennant this summer.

I'd love to know more about that night in 1956. If anyone has any recollections, articles or photographs from that evening, I'd love to hear from you. My number is 487-1111, ext. 247.

BALTIMORE – On a night when Joe Girardi devised an ingenious managerial plan only to see it destroyed by David Robertson's tired right arm, the Yankees escaped with a 6-5 victory thanks to the skittish performance of Orioles closer Jim Johnson.
For the second time this week, the Yankees won courtesy of a wild pitch. Johnson uncorked the fateful pitch this time, which allowed Brendan Ryan to score from second. Johnson had placed Ryan in scoring position, when he committed a throwing error on an attempted bunt by catcher Chris Stewart.
"That was the difference," Girardi said.
Thanks to Johnson, the Yankees (79-68) captured the final three games of this four-game series and remained within a game of Tampa Bay in the Wild Card race. They did so on a night when Robertson showed the strain of his workload.
Robertson entered with a three-run lead. After a pair of two-out singles, he gave it all back when Danny Valencia boomed a three-run homer in the eighth. "It sucks," Robertson said. "It just happens. It's part of the game."
Robertson received a few days off earlier this week due to shoulder tendinitis. Both Robertson and Girardi downplayed the connection between the injury and the results.
"I thought he just missed his spots a little bit," Girardi said. "That's all."
The meltdown by Robertson scuttled Girardi's creative solution for the hole in his team's rotation. Lacking a suitable fifth starter, Girardi molded Phil Hughes and Huff into a tandem. Hughes tossed the first three innings. When a runner reached in the fourth, Girardi inserted Huff. When Huff faltered in the seventh, he departed. The result: Six combined innings of two-run baseball.
Until Robertson combusted, the duo held the line as the offense sustained yet another injury. Brett Gardner strained his left oblique in the first inning, and could be lost for the season. His replacement, Curtis Granderson, smashed a seventh-inning homer, but the loss of Gardner still stings. Mark Reynolds opened the Yankees' scoring with the 200th home run of his career. Vernon Wells pitched in with a two-run single.
A late-summer shower delayed the start an hour and 18 minutes. In the game's first at-bat, the Yankees lost their starting center fielder.
With the count full, Gardner checked his swing on a slider from Wei-Yin Chen. The pitch was a strike. Gardner was out. That wasn't the worst part: He flinched after the swing.
Abdominal injuries torment baseball players. The game requires constant usage of those core muscles. An injury like this often causes a month of rehabilitation. To lose Gardner, this late in the season, is unfortunate. He has been a critical component to the team, their leadoff hitter and finest defensive outfielder.
This team often rejects the notion of moping. Reynolds mashed a two-run shot. Wells came through with the bases loaded in the third.
In the bottom of the frame, Hughes had a four-run lead. He gave back a run on a single, wild pitch and another single. He threw his 50th pitch of the game in the fourth. Adam Jones grounded to third, where Eduardo Nunez booted the ball. Girardi had seen enough.
On Wednesday, team officials alerted Huff to this possibility. He hoped to move forward from his nightmare performance last Saturday, when Boston tagged him for nine runs.
Girardi opened himself to criticism with the decision, as Hughes was pitching better than usual. Huff rewarded his manager for the maneuver. He didn't give up a hit until his third inning of work.
"We had a comfortable lead," Huff said. "And I didn't want to start nibbling or being too fine."
The gambit worked. Hughes and Huff delivered. And even after Robertson gave it all back, the Yankees benefited from another team's mistakes. This surging team will take it.
"We need to continue to win," Girardi said. "And we need to continue to take series if we want to continue into October."

The Oneida Indian Nation Thursday became the first tribe to have a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.
The nation's leader, Ray Halbritter said, he wasn't sure what kind of reaction the Oneidas would get -- but it seemed positive.
"The people seemed to react incredibly in such an excited, happy way about the presence of Indian people," Halbritter said. "That was a welcome surprise to me. You could see right away that the people recognized the role of American Indians in creating Thanksgiving, and that really seemed to resonate."

read the rest here:MLB.com: With Mike Leake having no professional experience, were you surprised he put himself in position to be a finalist for the fifth spot?
Jocketty: Nope. I'll tell you why. When we drafted him last year, we drafted him with the idea that he'll come fast -- not necessarily this fast. He pitched well enough in the [Arizona] Fall League. He's pitched at a very high level in college competition. He's done a lot of things. Would we like to see him out pitching in a five-man rotation for a while? Sure. We could probably control that at the Major League level, too.
MLB.com: How has Aroldis Chapman handled himself in camp with all the attention, the questions and the learning curve?
Jocketty: I think he's done well. Like Dusty [Baker] said early on, the fact he doesn't understand English has probably helped somewhat with not realizing all the hype that's been going on. He's done extremely well. I'm very happy. He's progressing some with his English. You can say a few things to him.

text: Hello, I've been reading a lot of guides and forums about cloning. My Main goal is to clone in a DWC system. I've all ways grow in soil. I want to get away from that. I made my self a little 2 gallon Deep water culture system with a double fish tank air pump, and 2 large air stones. I started a few seeds 2 weeks ago, and there growth is amazing. I plan on taking a few clones as soon as i can. I've read in a few forum about using clonex gel and rhizotonic root enhancer. Read in a few forums about keeping the water temp between 72F and 80F, read a few articles about soaking the cutting in tap water for 30 min.(The chlorine in the city tap water is going to sanitize the cuttings) read about soaking the clone in rooting solution, Also Foliair feeding which also makes sense. I've read post about never putting the cutting in water/nute soluton. I'm thinking if theres enough oxygen in the soultion you should be good to go. I've read alot of posts about Fungus rotting the roots. most of the cures for this were to clean your hydro-system better. also some people will take a cutting in two diffrent ways. some will cut them dip in a rooting gel. some will cut and then take that cutting and cut it under water at a 45 and then dip it. is there a proper way? Air layer cloning-this is another option i was thinking about. where you make a smell slice along the spot that you want to clone, put rooting gel in the cut and cover it with a small piece of rockwool, and cover with plastic, and let it root right on the plant. I'm interested in what you good people have experimented with. I could use rockwool, or perlite and vermiculite, but thats to easy. Has anyone tried just a solution? has anyone tried the air layer cloning? Thanks everyone

NEW YORK (AP) — Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. said Thursday that plans to split into two separate companies, one holding its newspaper business and another its entertainment operations.
Under the proposal, the global media conglomerate will be divided into two publicly traded companies. One entity will operate as a newspaper and book publishing firm. The other will be an entertainment company that includes the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast TV network and the Fox News channel.
The publishing side is expected to be much smaller, with some analysts valuing it at about $5 billion, compared with the current market value for News Corp. as a whole of about $54 billion.
"There is much work to be done, but our board and I believe that this new corporate structure we are pursuing would accelerate News Corporation's businesses to grow to new heights, and enable each company and its divisions to recognize their full potential — and unlock even greater long-term shareholder value," Murdoch said in a statement.
Industry analysts say the faster growing pay-TV segment would be valued more highly by new investors not willing to buy shares in a company burdened by a newspaper industry in decline.
Under the current proposal, News Corp. shareholders will receive one share of common stock in the new company for each share of News Corp. that they currently hold. Each company would maintain two classes of stock.
Murdoch will serve as chairman of both companies and CEO of the media and entertainment company. The company said it plans to put together management teams and boards for both businesses over the next several months.
The split remains subject to final board and regulatory approvals. News Corp. said it expects it to be completed in about a year.
A question remains, however, about which entity would bear the financial risks of the ongoing U.K. probe into phone hacking and bribery. Besides legal costs, News Corp. also faces potential fines in the U.S. under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which punishes companies that have bribed officials abroad.
British authorities have been probing allegations that News Corp. journalists at its now-shuttered News of the World and other papers hacked into phones and bribed public officials to gain exclusive information.
The splitting of News Corp. would be a symbolic turning point for its 81-year-old CEO. Murdoch's media empire was built on the foundation of a single Australian newspaper he inherited from his father.
News Corp. shares rose 19 cents to $22.60 in premarket trading.

Nebraska-PSU notebook
Could Robinson be done in Beaver?
UNIVERSITY PARK – While 16 players were honored Saturday for taking part in their final game at Beaver Stadium, another may have played his last game on Penn State's field, too.
Allen Robinson, whose record-setting season saw him add eight catches for 106 yards against Nebraska to his already staggering statistics, is set to graduate in the summer and could be done playing in front of the Penn State home crowd.
Robinson could declare early for the 2014 NFL draft and end his career as a Nittany Lion early.
Tight end Adam Breneman said he had no idea what Robinson is thinking on the prospective situation, but said he means a lot to him and the team.
"I've learned a lot from Allen," Breneman said. "I watch Allen in practice and watch how he runs his routes and watch how aggressive he plays."
Breneman also said Robinson is a competitor and he creates a "neat dynamic" for the team.
Another player Robinson has meant a lot to is quarterback Christian Hackenberg.
"When I came here in the summer, it was me, him [and] Brandon Felder," Hackenberg said. "We really worked a lot one-on-one, pulling me out, just throwing, routes and sort of working on our timing."
Robinson will likely be defined by his game-saving grab at the end of regulation against Michigan to spark the quadruple-overtime game, one in which the Nittany Lions ended up taking the victory.
The receiver, who was recently named a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist, brought his record-leading, single-season reception total to 89 and moved up another spot on the program's career reception leaderboard as he surpassed Bobby Engram for second place with 169. He is now just 10 receptions behind tying the Penn State all-time mark of 179 held by Deon Butler.
Nebraska dodges a bullet
The Cornhuskers came to Beaver Stadium following a crushing loss to Michigan State that put the Spartans in the driver's seat to take the Legends Division.
On Saturday, Nebraska came close to losing back-to-back games, which would have dropped the team to 7-4 and even further down the Big Ten standings. But the Cornhuskers took the game in overtime to save their season, and maybe even coach Bo Pelini's job.
The game, however, may not have even got to overtime if it was not for a controversial call that came in the fourth quarter.
While running back Ameer Abdullah was pulling toward the end zone for what would have been seven points to put Nebraska up 24-20 late in the fourth, a flag was thrown for what looked to be a legal block by receiver Sam Burtch on defensive back Adrian Amos. The block was several yards behind the play.
"They said it was unnecessary you saw my reaction," Pelini said.
That reaction was Pelini irate on the sideline in a screaming match with officials.
Nebraska settled for a game-tying 19-yard field before taking the game in one round of overtime.
Previous to the drama in the fourth quarter, the Cornhuskers lost starting quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. to an ankle injury that saw him miss the rest of the game from the end of the first quarter on.
Ron Kellogg III filled in admirably for Armstrong as he threw for 191 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions on 34 passing attempts.
"Tommy Armstrong, losing him early in the game was tough," Pelini said. " I thought Ron came in and did a great job. He did some really good things out there."
Tight ends flourish in loss
Questions swirled earlier in the year about the Penn State tight ends and their lack of production, but Saturday possibly was the group's best game yet.
James, Breneman and Kyle Carter all got in on the receiving end as both James and Breneman had one score each, which accounted for both of Penn State's passing touchdowns.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, James caught a pass and proceeded to take it 46 yards for a score to put the Lions up by three.
James said the tight ends continue to get better every week and tight ends coach John Strollo always brings in new drills with something the group can emphasize.
"We took the coaching well the past couple of weeks," James said. "We've been getting better every week."
RB Belton misses game
Running back Bill Belton did not see action Saturday due to an injured shoulder and strep throat, according to O'Brien.
Belton had played in all previous 10 games and led the team in rushing yards coming into the day.
With Belton out, Zach Zwinak saw the majority of the time in the backfield and ran for 149 yards for the second week in a row.
Zwinak carried the ball 35 times as Akeel Lynch worked his way into the mix with five carries for 12 yards.
O'Brien did not say whether Belton would be back for the final game against Wisconsin or not.
Kenney not recognized before game
Earlier in the week, it was announced that receiver Alex Kenney would join tackle Garry Gilliam and defensive tackle Kyle Baublitz in foregoing their final year of eligibility.
While 16 seniors trotted out to be recognized for their time at Penn State, Kenney, a State College Area High School graduate, was nowhere to be found during the festivities.
O'Brien said it was a personal discussion between he and Kenney and he was going to leave it at that.
"He's done everything we've asked him to do here at Penn State in the football program," O'Brien said.
O'Brien did, however, reveal that Kenney's future in Penn State athletics is not necessarily over.
"I believe he's going to run track here at Penn State," O'Brien said. "He's going to do a great job running track."
News and notes
PSU's captains were T Garry Gilliam, TE Matt Lehman, DT DaQuan Jones and LB Glenn Carson. … Since 1990, Penn State has complied a 20-4 record on senior day, with half of those losses coming at the hands of Nebraska as the Cornhuskers also spoiled the Lions' senior day in 2011. … Penn State previously owned an undefeated 2013 overtime record before Saturday.
