The Fat Studies Reader
Publication Year: 2009
Winner of the 2010 Distinguished Publication Award from the Association for Women in Psychology
Winner of the 2010 Susan Koppelman Award for the Best Edited Volume in Women's Studies from the Popular Culture Association
We have all seen the segments on television news shows: A fat person walking on the sidewalk, her face out of frame so she can't be identified, as some disconcerting findings about the "obesity epidemic" stalking the nation are read by a disembodied voice. And we have seen the movies—their obvious lack of large leading actors silently speaking volumes. From the government, health industry, diet industry, news media, and popular culture we hear that we should all be focused on our weight. But is this national obsession with weight and thinness good for us? Or is it just another form of prejudice—one with especially dire consequences for many already disenfranchised groups?
For decades a growing cadre of scholars has been examining the role of body weight in society, critiquing the underlying assumptions, prejudices, and effects of how people perceive and relate to fatness. This burgeoning movement, known as fat studies, includes scholars from every field, as well as activists, artists, and intellectuals. The Fat Studies Reader is a milestone achievement, bringing together fifty-three diverse voices to explore a wide range of topics related to body weight. From the historical construction of fatness to public health policy, from job discrimination to social class disparities, from chick-lit to airline seats, this collection covers it all.
Edited by two leaders in the field, The Fat Studies Reader is an invaluable resource that provides a historical overview of fat studies, an in-depth examination of the movement's fundamental concerns, and an up-to-date look at its innovative research.

As a new, interdisciplinary field of intellectual inquiry, fat studies is defined in part by what it is not.
For example, if you believe that fat people could (and should) lose weight, then you are not doing fat studies—you are part of the $58.6 billion-per-year weight-loss industry or its vast customer base (Marketdata Enterprises, 2007). ...

In view of the statistics on "obesity" and dieting in the United States, "permanent weight loss" might seem oxymoronic. Despite our collective efforts to lose weight, the average American continues to gain. For example, in 1991, the average U.S. man weighed 179 pounds, and the...

Cheats and Walkthroughs
Electronic Arts announced today that it is releasing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 this June. Tiger will also be featured in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online, which will start open beta tomorrow. Online Tour will be "multi-tier subscription" based, and is described as an "authentic and feature-rich golf video game experience available through a web browser, with no game installation, no disc, and no additional peripherals required."
No real details have been revealed about the PGA Tour 11, other than that it will appear on the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and iPhone, but until updates are announced, I'd expect more of the Tiger Woods' formula you remember from PGA Tour 10: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
As faithful readers of TheFeed know, this announcement settles a bet. I recently cemented a wager with Patrick "Scoop" Klepek over EA's relationship with Tiger Woods. I bet the company would drop the scandal-plagued athlete from the cover/title of their PGA Tour games, starting in 2011. Klepek was like "no way." The loser agreed to play the entirety of Rogue Warrior on the PS3.
I'm a big enough man to admit when I've lost, so at some point this weekend, I will play Rogue Warrior... and dammit, I'm going to enjoy it. Immediately upon completion of the game, I will be checking myself into a gambling addiction detox facility. Clearly, my gambling problems are out of hand and negatively affecting my life and the lives of my loved ones. Let my downward nightmare spiral of hopelessness be a lesson to all of you: Don't make a bet if you can't handle the payout.

Harrison Ford Injures Ankle On 'Star Wars' Set, Millennium Falcon Door To Blame
Harrison Ford injured his ankle while filming "Star Wars: Episode VII" in Buckinghamshire, England, this week. The actor, 71, reportedly fractured his ankle after he was crushed by a hydraulic door and was airlifted to a hospital.
A rep for Disney told The Hollywood Reporter: "Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates."
Ford is reprising his role as Han Solo in the project, and he reportedly injured himself after the door of Millennium Falcon fell on his leg.
Health and safety officials in Britain are investigating the incident. A spokesperson at the U.K.'s Health and Safety Executive commented, "We have been made aware of an incident at Pinewood Studios and are making initial inquiries."
In addition to Ford, returning cast members include Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels. Newcomers include Adam Driver, John Boyega, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie.
Want to get in on the action? One lucky fan has a chance to make a cameo by donating as little as $10 to UNICEF's Innovation Labs and Programs via the website Omaze.com.
The film hits theaters on December 18, 2015.

|Title: Component Durability Procedures for New Light Duty Vehicles, Light Duty Trucks and Heavy Duty Vehicles
|Abstract: On October 22, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated durability provisions that automotive manufacturers used to demonstrate that the emissions of their vehicles would comply with emission standards for the useful lives of those vehicles. The Court also required EPA to issue new regulations. This action fulfills the mandate. The new durability regulations will include options that a manufacturer may choose from to age pre-production vehicles to determine the rate of emission deterioration over the vehicle's useful life. The options will include a prescribed fixed driving cycle and a prescribed bench aging cycle that are used to age prototype vehicles or emission control components to the equivalent of the useful life period of the vehicle in a manner that replicates the aging that the vehicle or components would see in actual use. This rule does not change the federal emission standards or the test procedures used to quantify emissions. Although there is no court-ordered deadline, this is a court-ordered action.

Ten questions for Anthony Haden-Guest
The New Yorker, Art Newspaper and Vanity Fair writer, infamous art world veteran, social commentator, collector and notorious bon viveur Anthony Haden-Guest unpacks half a century of fine-art wisdom in ten exchanges.
Young American artist Nina Chanel Abney's brightly coloured canvases reassert the potential of figure painting in contemporary art.
Abney's figures often have a cartoon-like appearance and frequently seem to be frozen in various stages of bodily-transformations. She tackles complex issues including race and gender through a combination of autobiography, pop reference and storytelling.
In Randaleeza (2008) Abney brings together the former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her friend in a dramatic narrative. Rice is pictured in a white bikini and army helmet, while Randal (the artist's friend) is set upon by a pack of fierce dogs; the two appear as part celebrity couple, part wartime antagonists.
Who are you?
A painter from Illinois, living in Jersey City and working in Manhattan.
What's on your mind right now?
A collage I just finished two minutes ago. The mess I've made in my studio creating the collage. The 60 foot long painting that I'm currently working on. Sour Patch Kids. Masking figuration. Embracing Abstraction. Sleep.
How do you get this stuff out?
Each painting starts with a general idea that's usually sparked by a dream, conversation, or experience. From there I go straight to the canvas and start working, gathering reference material as needed. I work strictly from intuition. Nothing is planned.
How does it fit together?
I can't really explain it. There comes a point when I'm working where I just don't think there is anything else I can or should add. Then I leave the piece for a day or so, and come back to it one more time just to make sure there isn't something I've missed. At that point it's done.
What brought you to this point?
My rapid thoughts. I can't even tell you how many things run through my mind throughout the day. I have to get them out somehow. Art is my release.
Can you control it?
As much as I would like to, no. When I try to control things, it never comes out as planned. And those are the paintings that I usually struggle with. The best work happens when I give in to my intuition and go with the flow.
What's next?
More painting, several shows, and a few surprises.

Utah State Office
|Release Date: 02/17/11
BLM to Open Sevier Dry Lake for Competitive Potash Leasing
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has determined that it will offer approximately 125,762 acres of the surface of the Sevier Dry Lake, about 30 miles southwest of Delta, Utah for competitive leasing of potassium-rich brines to produce potash.
The maximum lease size for a potash lease parcel under Federal rules for leasing solid minerals other than coal and oil shale is 2,560 acres. Consequently, BLM has divided Sevier Dry Lake into 64 lease parcels. The maximum acreage of potash lease holdings for one entity in one state totals 96,000 acres.
The BLM intends to offer the parcels at a public auction tentatively scheduled for the first week in April.
The leases would provide the lease holders with exclusive rights to the potash, but not to the land itself. The BLM expects that to develop the lease the lease holders will need to build dikes, ponds, associated access roads and other facilities in the lease area, and on surrounding rights of way. Extraction techniques could include a number of surface ditches to extract the shallow brines and a number of wells to extract deeper brines. These brines would be concentrated using solar evaporation. The minerals would then be harvested, compacted, and dried for transportation to market.
About 93 percent of the 2009 world potash production was consumed by the fertilizer industry. The United States imports 80 percent of the potash fertilizer used on its farms.
Once a lease is issued, the BLM must approve a mining plan before any mining can commence. The proposed mining plan must also be analyzed through the public process set out by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In addition, the State of Utah must issue a permit under the Utah Mined Land Reclamation Act of 1975.
The Sevier Dry Lake potash reserves were estimated by Hazen Research at 5.2 million tons. At a projected 50 percent recovery, production would continue for approximately 6.5 years at the rate of 400,000 tons per year. In addition, the mine would be in operation for an additional 2 to 3 years for the initial development. Final reclamation would likely proceed for several years after final potash production.
The potash deposits on Sevier Dry Lake were initially leased for development in the late 1970s. The lakebed of the Sevier Dry Lake was leased again in 1997. Although development began, neither of these previous leasing efforts resulted in commercial production.
In early 2009, the BLM received an Expression of Interest in leasing Potash on Sevier Lake. On January 22, 2010 the Fillmore Field Office initiated the NEPA process for the consideration of this activity. The Environmental Assessment (EA) was written and posted on the Utah Environmental Notification Bulletin Board on September 20, 2010 for a 30 day comment period. In its comments on the EA, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance recommended that the area be reviewed for wilderness character. The BLM determined that this constituted new information and would need to be considered in the EA. The BLM also determined that a wilderness inventory for the area should be completed in compliance with Secretarial Order 3310 issued on December 23, 2010. Following completion of this inventory, the BLM has determined that the Sevier Lake does not have wilderness characteristics. The determination was based on the lack of outstanding opportunities for "solitude," as well as the lack of outstanding opportunities for a "primitive and unconfined recreation experience." A large portion of the dry lake bed also failed to meet the requirements for "naturalness."
This decision is documented in the EA and associated Decision Record for the Sevier Lake Competitive Potash Leasing Proposal. The release of the Decision Record initiates a 30-day appeal period. The appeal period begins February 18, 2011 and concludes March 20, 2011.
Information on the appeal procedure can be found in the Decision Record and on the BLM website at: http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/fillmore.html. The website includes the entire EA. CDs and hard copies are available by contacting the Fillmore Field Office at 35 East 500 North, Fillmore, UT 84631 or by calling 435.743.3100.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Cities and Governments Committing to Global Carbon Emission Reductions
Source: David Thorpe, Sustainable Cities Collective, 7/2/15
Abstract: In likely anticipation of COP21 later this year, 20 cities and subnational governments around the world have made commitments to decrease their global carbon emissions by 5%, and submit their climate data to the Compact of States and Regions. The Compact of States and Regions is a partnership between The Climate Group, CDP, R20, and nrg4SD, with support by the UN, Climate-KIC, Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE), ICLEI, and the Environmental Conference of the European Regions (ENCORE). (See the infographic that maps the Compact's participants and explains the data linkages.)
The Compact enables accurate and public reporting of climate data, and will be the first global assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction contributions made by state and regional governments. With its tracking and assessment capabilities, participating cities and governments can measure and record success against their commitments, as well as track progress and develop long-term planning and goals.

Madonna Sued for Naming Her Macy's Line 'Material Girl'
Someone claims to have been profiting off of this nomenclature since long before her line launched.
Maybe there's no point in being the Material Girl if the material you create for girls 25 years after you become the Material Girl can't bear that label. L.A. Triumph Inc. is suing Madonna for trademark infringement, claiming they have been marketing and making millions off their own Material Girl clothing line since 1997. The company wants authorities to officially decide that Madonna's new Macy's juniors' Material Girl line is deceiving, and that Madonna must give them all profits from the Macy's line. This sounds like creative legalese that Madonna can probably buy her way out of since she is the Material Girl. But if she has to change the name of the Macy's line, "Like a Virgin" is equally iconic and, the clothes being targeted to 14-year-olds, much funnier.

Slender Man Mod – Ever wanted the infamous Slender Man in Minecraft? Then this mod is for you!
Slender Man Mod - What is it?
The Slenderman Mod is a mod for Minecraft that adds slenderman into the game, who is a tall figure that has been popularized by the game slender. Basically, slenderman is the figure that inspired Notch to add endermen into the game.
So why not have the original? The mob itself is somewhat of a docile mob, in that it only approaches you when you turn you back on it. Unlike the weeping angels mod, however, of you look at it, it will disorient you (similar to what happens when you enter the nether) and it will attack you.
In order to make this mob more frightening than it already is, you can only kill it with a diamond sword or a slender sword (crafting recipe below). Luckily, the mob spawns very rarely at 3% per chunk, but in reality, that just makes it even scarier, mainly because you can't really prepare for it, and it will make you jump without a doubt when you see it.
All in all, this mod is recommended if you're the player that likes a good scare, and a slightly hard game at the same time. Now for some screenshots of the mod.

For the most part, that's it when it comes to Modloader and Forge mods. Also, please note that you no longer have to do steps 1 and 2 once you already installed it the first time (you may need to reinstall them however, if you updated your client). Also, just a heads up, if you don't see the mod loaded into the game, you might have to extract the mod into a folder. Most mods work in their zipped form, but some require you to extract them first. Have fun!

Purpose: To better define the wide spectrum of lax eyelid conditions, especially the subtype referred to as floppy eyelid syndrome, and to clarify its relationship with associated ophthalmic findings.
Methods: A case-based retrospective review of all patients seen at UNC Department of Ophthalmology with a diagnosis of floppy eyelid syndrome or lax upper eyelid was performed. The period of review was from March 2002 to March 2007. A literature review was also performed using the term "floppy eyelid syndrome" and "lax eyelid syndrome" as the keywords in a PubMed search. Charts and cases were reviewed for the following information: age, sex, presence or absence of obesity, presence or absence of upper eyelid laxity, presence or absence of lower eyelid laxity, symmetry or asymmetry of eyelid laxity, sleeping position preference, diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), history of eye rubbing, diagnosis of keratoconus (KCN), lash ptosis, history of spontaneous eyelid eversion, papillary conjunctivitis, systemic hyperlaxity, diagnosis of meibomianitis, signs of anterior segment inflammation, and smoking or excessive sun exposure history.
Results: From our UNC case review, 14 patients involving 17 eyelids were identified. From the literature review, 72 articles were recovered and evaluated to yield a total of 324 reported cases through February 2007. From the combined data (n = 338), the overall minimum prevalence of sleep apnea in patients with lax eyelid condition was 16% compared with an estimated 9% to 24% in the general population. Of patients with lax eyelid syndrome, those identified with OSA had significantly more individuals with obesity (76% vs. 20%) and male gender (89% vs. 61%) than the group without OSA. The prevalence of KCN in patients with lax eyelid syndrome was a minimum of 6.8%, which is considerably higher than the estimated prevalence in the general population of 0.6%. However, KCN appears to show a significant association with the patient's side of sleeping preference.
Conclusions: Eyelid laxity can result from a number of involutional, local, and systemic diseases but is frequently of unknown etiology. When it is consistently associated with papillary conjunctivitis and dry eyes it can be referred to as lax eyelid syndrome (LES). A number of specific subsets of LES can be identified. One such subset, occurring primarily though not exclusively in males and associated with obesity, has been defined as the floppy eyelid syndrome (FES). OSA has been associated with FES where it occurs with greater frequency than in the general population, but no greater than seen in obese males without FES, and therefore appears to represent an epiphonomenom only. However, given the demographics of FES, this condition offers some predictive value for OSA and should alert the physician to evaluate the sleep habits of all such patients. Keratoconus also shows some association with FES and with LES. However, data suggest that the causative factors are sleep preference for the involved side and nocturnal eyelid eversion, rather than any underlying physiologic or anatomic relationship.

City of London lauds 'partial victory' on pay
Pay advisers and lawyers have dubbed the draft technical standards on pay published today by the European Banking Authority as good news for the City of London.
The European Banking Authority today published its final draft regulatory technical standard. The report explained how banks should identify those staff who have a material impact on the firm's risk profile, setting out qualitative criteria and quantitative criteria.
The definition is important, as it determines who is caught by the so-called bonus cap, which comes into effect January 1 2014 for packages paid out in spring 2015.
The bonus cap will limit payouts for affected staff to a one-to-one ratio of salary to bonus, rising to two-to-one if shareholder approval is secured.
The qualitative criteria relates to the role and decision-making power of the individual, encompassing senior managers.
Of more concern to many in the financial services sector is the quantitative criteria, with many fearing that anyone earning more than €500,000 in total remuneration would be caught by the bonus cap.
Instead, the draft included "exclusion criteria", ensuring that staff who are not senior managers, but are paid more than €500,000, can be excluded.
For staff earning more than €1 million, of which there were 2,714 in the UK in 2012 according to the EBA, the home regulator needs to inform the EBA about any intended exclusion.
Jon Terry, global financial services HR consulting leader at PwC, said: "The fact there is a rebuttal included is a good thing, no question about that.
"It allows the PRA and the supervisors to take more pragmatic views, and take into account the risk of organisations rather than having a one size fits all [approach]."
Asked whether the draft represented a victory for the industry, Terry said: "No question. Including any form of a rebuttal clause is definitely a significant improvement from the industy's perspective."
Under the guidelines, institutions need to notify exclusions for those awarded €500,000 to the relevant authority. For those with total remuneration of €750,000, or who are among the 0.3% of highest earners in the institution, prior approval from the home regulator is required.
Jon Gilligan, a partner at GQ Employment Law, who said: "There's going to be more flexibility for the UK banks than perhaps they thought when this arbitrary €500,000 cut off was being mooted. It's going to mean less people will be caught."
Logan Naidu, chief executive officer of recruitment firm Dartmouth Partners, echoed this sentiment, saying: "It is certainly less draconian than feared"
While the lawyers and pay consultants said they expected the PRA to be pragmatic about approving exclusions for those on between €500,000 and €1 million, they also warned over a likely tension between the UK regulators and the EBA when excluding those on more than €1 million.
Mark Ife, an employment partner at Herbert Smith Freehills, said: "It's definitely a compromise on the EBAs original position, and a welcome one.
"Above the €1 million mark, it may become impractical to go to the EBA, even though there will be a lot of firms out there, that will be significant in size, where individuals being paid a million euros does not put them into the category of putting the risk profile of the bank as a whole at risk."

The NCAA tournament is not only an opportunity for college basketball players to raise their draft stock—they can also hurt their stock as well.
NBA scouts like to see how college players respond when they are put in big situations. The NCAA tournament is the biggest situation most basketball players will ever play in. How they respond is important. Being a good NBA player isn't all about talent—it's also about confidence and resiliency.
Here is a list of 10 NBA draft prospects that hurt their draft stock in the 2012 NCAA tournament:

Foreclosures spike but worst may be overBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | July 28,2013The number of Vermont homes under foreclosure is up nearly 17 percent this year, but the problem may be easing, according to the state Department of Financial Regulation.
Through the first six months of the year 448 foreclosures were filed in Vermont, compared to 414 for the same time last year.
But Tom Candon of the Department of Financial Regulation said there is reason to believe foreclosures are starting to decline.
Foreclosures in Vermont and throughout the country spiked starting last year when banks settled with the states over questionable foreclosure practices known as robo-signing, said Candon, the departments deputy commissioner.
Banks allegedly robo-signed documents without verifying the accuracy of the information. As a result, many foreclosures throughout the country were put on hold. With the settlement, banks resumed foreclosing on homeowners.
They did do that last year through the first part of this year and now I think those large number of foreclosures are hopefully behind us, unless something else changes in the economy, Candon said. But I do think youre going to start seeing a reduced number as we go through next year until we get back to whats a normal number.
As an example, Candon said foreclosures dropped from 163 in May to 121 in June. The number is also 40 less than in June of last year.
Although Vermont continues to have one of the lowest foreclosure rates in the country, there are problems as foreclosures have jumped dramatically since the onset of the world financial crisis five years ago.
According to the state Banking Division, Rutland County continues to lead the state with 135 foreclosures through June 30. Windsor County is second with 125 foreclosures followed by Chittenden County with 122.
For the last three years, Rutland County has registered more foreclosures than any other county. Last year, there were 254 foreclosures; Chittenden County, the states most populous, had 241.
NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, a homeownership advocacy group, has seen its share of homeowners in trouble.
Nancy Gilman, a NeighborWorks counselor, said most of the people she sees fall behind in their mortgage payments through no fault of their own.
I think its a mixture of losing their jobs or having to take lower-paying jobs, Gilman said.
She said homeowners who contact their lenders early on asking for help are told they first need to be in arrears before receiving any help with their loan.
They basically tell the homeowners you need to be three months behind and then come back to us and well look at doing a modification, Gilman said.
Homeowners who do go through a loan-modification process are often caught up in a maze of paperwork that drags out the process for a year or more.
Then they end up being so far behind that its hard to get a modification approved because they owe so much in back payments and fees by the time they roll that back in, they cant create an affordable payment for them, Gilman said.
In Washington, Orange and Lamoille counties, its much the same problem with loss of jobs the number one culprit, said Harry Sanderson, senior housing counselor with Central Vermont Community Land Trust.
If youre looking at the job market, youre looking at jobs that are probably less than the median income, Sanderson said.
While he sees the loan-modification process getting better, he doesnt see the foreclosure problem improving.
Were still getting three to four calls every week, new foreclosures because of whatever circumstances they may be in, Sanderson said.
Through June, there were 85 foreclosures in Washington County, compared to 76 during the same six-month period last year.
In terms of loan modifications, Sanderson said he has a success rate of 11 to 14 percent. Theyre much better than they were last year, he said.
Ludy Biddle, NeighborWorks executive director, pointed a finger at Bank of America for making a bad situation worse. She said the bank has put up roadblocks when homeowners sought to modify their mortgages.
Biddle said of the 49 open foreclosure intervention cases Neighborworks is handling, 14 are BOA mortgages.
Bank of America was one of 13 banks that settled with the states last year over mortgage foreclosure abuses that included robo-signing.
Sanderson said his experience with Bank of America has improved. Several years ago, he encountered big, big problems in getting loans modified for troubled homeowners. Now, he said BOA and several other large banks have created a website to file documents, which speeds up the loan-modification process.
Candon also said his department hasnt encountered any problems related to loan modifications with Bank of America.
However, he said since January of last year BOA, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase have filed the highest percentage of foreclosures in the state.
Laura Hunter, a Bank of America spokeswoman, said the company is committed to helping customers avoid foreclosure. She said that effort includes working with groups like NeighborWorks.
Hunter said since the economic crisis began the bank has completed 1.25 million mortgage modifications nationwide.
We have a relatively small portfolio of loans (currently less than 8,400) in Vermont, and the percentage of troubled loans is well below the national average, Hunter said. Nevertheless, we have modified 930 mortgages for homeowners in the state.
Chris DElia, president of the Vermont Bankers Association, said there is no question that horror stories exist when it comes to large banks dealing with homeowners in foreclosure.
Unlike Vermonts community banks, DElia said Bank of America and other banks with a national footprint have had to deal with an onslaught of paperwork.
I think the real challenge the big banks have had is just the sheer volume of loan modifications to go through, DElia said.

Autumn 2013
Added on October, 2013
We opened our doors at Hambleton Hall in 1980. Like many of the others who opened or prospered in the '80s much of our restaurant inspiration came from France. Travelling from Relais to Châteaux in France in the late '70s we worshipped at the shrines of Michel Guérard, the Troisgros brothers, Georges Blanc and many others. Gravetye Manor, Hunstrete House, Gidleigh Park and Chewton Glen, whose proprietors were all friends, were fellow devotees.

Big Ten football has fallen far and fast
The conference has been embarrassed repeatedly this season. Is this the new normal?
Big Ten football coaches defend their conference with the loyalty and veracity of a German Shepherd. Ask about a leaguewide epidemic of poor performances, and they'll trot out hackneyed responses noting the talent level, work ethic and coaching ability at each school remains second to none.
What they won't openly admit is something so obvious to everyone else: Results on the field ultimately determine just how successful a conference really is. And this year, the Big Ten stinks like week-old diapers.
A look at some of the more surprising nonconference outcomes show Louisiana Tech hammering Illinois (52-24), Ohio beating Penn State (24-14), Central Michigan edging Iowa (32-21) and Ball State outscoring Indiana (41-39) -- all games that took place on Big Ten turf.
Certainly, none of those teams is considered elite this year by any stretch, but if a chain is only as strong as its weakest links, the Big Ten is broken and collecting dust in the attic. Those results served as only part of the problem for the league, which also finished a putrid 6-9 overall against BCS teams and Notre Dame during the nonconference season.
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio tried to explain that these things are cyclical and that parity across college football was responsible for the conference's struggles, although his response sounded convoluted at best.
"Winning and losing by one point or by two points, whether it's a bowl game or whether it's now, there's not very much difference in that except one is a definite loss and one is a definite win," Dantonio said. "When you look overall at the entire team, if it can go either way, I think the team and the conference is competitive. And that's the way I see it right now."
Really? Since when has merely being "competitive" with other conferences been a source of pride in the Big Ten?
This year, it isn't a stretch to suggest the Big Ten is the fifth-best conference among the six BCS leagues, ahead of only the sagging Big East. The SEC -- winner of six consecutive BCS national championships -- has four teams ranked in the top six and five in the top 10. The Pac-12 boasts six teams in the top 25, the Big 12 five in the top 17. And even the ACC has a viable national championship contender in Florida State.
The Big Ten, which has only three ranked teams, doesn't possess a realistic national title hope in the bunch.
The conference's strongest team, unbeaten Ohio State, is ineligible for postseason play. The only other unbeaten team, Northwestern, hasn't won a bowl game since President Harry S. Truman was finishing his first of two terms in office (Jan. 1, 1949).
Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan State all opened the season ranked in the top 13 in the Associated Press poll. After six weeks, none of them is ranked.
"I know we don't have as many teams ranked now as we did before the season, including us," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. "But I also have been in football long enough to know it's not how you start the race, it's how you end the race. My guess is there will be quite a few teams up there knocking at the end of the year."
Several coaches, including Nebraska's Bo Pelini and Penn State's Bill O'Brien, insist that we must wait until the results of bowl games to accurately determine where the Big Ten stands.
"Let's see how it all plays out after January," said O'Brien, whose team is banned from postseason play for the next four years. "We're not going to be in it, obviously, and Ohio State's not going to be in it. But let's see how the Big Ten does in the bowl games when they play the other conferences.
"The only way you're going to be able to make a statement like that is to see what happens in head-to-head competition."
Recent history suggests we already know what's coming.
Since 2000, the Big Ten is 34-52 in bowl games (.395 winning percentage), the worst record among BCS conferences. The Big Ten is 6-11 the past two years and infamously went 0-for-5 on New Year's Day games in 2011.
But if the past doesn't dictate this year's results, let's examine exactly what has gone wrong in 2012.
The Big Ten has for years been viewed as a grind-it-out, physical league, but statistics don't show the same defensive success. Only Michigan State ranks in the top 20 nationally in total defense. Last season, six Big Ten teams finished in the top 20 in total defense.
Offensively, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez is the only Big Ten quarterback rated in the top 40 in passing efficiency. Only two conference teams (Nebraska and Purdue) rank in the top 40 in scoring offense.
The so-called top-tier teams in the preseason rankings all have their own issues that have hampered their shot at a national title.
Wisconsin benched starting quarterback Danny O'Brien, fired its offensive line coach after two games and can't provide returning Heisman Trophy finalist Montee Ball with any open holes at running back. Michigan State ranks 110th out of 120 FBS teams in scoring offense at 20.0 points per game, last in the Big Ten. And Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson, a former Heisman candidate, has thrown more interceptions (eight) than touchdowns (six).
Maybe the explanations are complex. Maybe they're not.
"On any given day," Dantonio said, "anybody can beat anybody else."
True. But the Big Ten has proven especially susceptible to being beaten by other conferences. And no matter how coaches try to spin it, it is simply inexcusable.

Skip to comments.DNC letter to FreeRepublic: Stop Lying about Howard Dean, and Gov Sebelius...OR ELSE!

Mr. James C Robinson FreeRepublic.com PO Box 9771 Fresno, CA 93794
Re: Statement re Democratic National Committee
Dear Mr Robinson:
We are writing on behalf of our client, the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
A post by coffee260 on FreeRepublic.com today states that this morning, on the Quinn & Rose show on XM, co-host Quin stated that the DNC chairman, Gov. Howard Dean had called Gov Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans) around 5:00am on morning after a tornado destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with here what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath.
The statement was made by Mr Quinn, repeated on FreeRepublic, is demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false. Gov Dean had no such conversation with Gov Sebelius, ever.
No effort was made by FreeRepublic to contact anyone at the DNC for comment or to check the accuracy of these statements before they were published. FreeRepublic not only repeated this statement, but further stressed that Quinns source was extremely reliable and in a position that would give him direct knowledge of these revelations.
The statements quoted above are false and defamatory, are libelous and slanderous and clearly threaten to interfere with the DNCs operations and ability to solicit support and raise funds by predjuding the organization in the eyes of the Democratic Party supporters and the public. For these reasons, we demand that FreeRepublic immediately cease and desist from Further dissemination of the above quoted statements or any statements similar in substance and immediately post a retraction of these statements in a location on its web pages at least as prominent as that on which the original story appeared.
Please let us know by noon, May 11, 2007, whether you intend to comply with these requests.
Thanks for your time and immediate attention to this important matter.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph E Sandler
Freep. link to one issue.....Kansas Governor knowingly lied at behest of Howard Dean.
PDF file of another legal letter...
DUmmies are expecting to see our ASSES KICKED......DNC to Free Republic: CEASE AND DESIST!
DNC is apparently stupider than we thought.
God, how I hate lawyers...especially soulless ones who are puppets of the DNC...
Your fifteen minutes have started...
Alrighty then! Lets start issuing subpoenas!
BTW, what language is this? : predjuding
The Dems doing what they do best, threaten people.
around 5:00am
Ok, maybe we got the time wrong?
Demonstrated how?
I wonder if they are calling on XM and Quin and Rose to cease and desist. This is an attempt to intimidate, and by intimidation limit information and debate on Democrats' activities. Typical of the DNC. Why don't they have Dean and Sebelius denying the phone call?
I don't buy the Sebelius conspiracy. She's said this in the past. (If we have a disaster, blah blah blah). I knew it was going to come out as soon as the scope of the disaster was revealed.
"No effort was made by FreeRepublic to contact anyone at the DNC for comment or to check the accuracy of these statements before they were published"
That's probably because the DNC are a bunch of thieving, lying sumbitches.
Ping! Your ears should be burning right now.
also....LIMBAUGH yesterday stated that he expected that the DNC had contacted Gov Sebelius about "talking points". Limbaugh must have also been ordered to stop lying about the Democratics too.....I am sure he will comply.....I am sure FreeRepublic will comply.
So....Did Quinn and Rose get a similar C&D letter, hmmmmmm?
Methinks they protest too much. Hmmmm. That means we're on to something.
Thw walls have ears and eyes...........I'm quite surprised they can read.......
Maybe because we are not publishers?
This is a parody, right?
Nobody is stupid enough to think they have the right to demand we don't discuss news stories, are they?
Not our job, putz.
FR is accurately reporting what was said on the Quinn show.
I hand typed this letter from a PDF.....mistakes in spellling and gramor are mine.
They couldn't possibly be.
What a joke. Just let them try anything.
Hey Howierd Dean,
I fart in your general direction you stalinistic thug.
So, if Quinn said it, reporting what he said is fine.
Do the Dems REALLY want to start a pi$$ing contest over repeating partial truths?
I don't get it. If someone tells a lie (i.e. I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.") and we discuss it, we get correspondence from an attorney. I'm not implying Quinn lied, but even if he did, we can't talk about it. Yep, I'm thoroughly confused.
>>>>I am sure he will comply<<<<
I'm not from Kansas but I'm pretty sure that Gov Sebelius is a woman.
The DNC would believe that the negative can be proven here.
Yeah, that too :-)
I believe this is the post they're talking about.
LOL! Truth? From the DNC?
Who knows if the Howard Dean-Kathleen Sebelius thing is true, but the truth is that Kathleen Sebelius lied about the state of Kansas National Guard and whether or not they had enough people and equipment to help the town of Greensburg.
Oh, yeah. That's where one always goes to check for accuracy: the DNC.
Tell these bastards to piss off.
I'm wondering what Quinn and Rose have to say, and if they have tape of the call...
I'm wondering what Quinn and Rose have to say, and if they have tape of the call...
If the quote is accurate, there's no issue.....
All the Freeper did was source and quote the statement....there's no issue with the Freeper, if any, but rather let them take issue with the original statement.
When such response is written with poor grammar, one wonders at the competence or authenticity of the writer of "the letter"....... (i.e., "predjudging" and "with here"....
So once again the DNC and its liberal puppets are seeking to infringe on the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
Their "demonstrably" could mean that, if they so chose (or in court) it could be demonstrated as false.
Demonstrate away, mssrs.
Have I got it right?
Oh, nevermind then.

If we have that there exists such that and so and this last one has a factorization in integers since it's even.
If and odd then and this one is even and so it has non-trivial factorization in integers. If is even take
Let be an integer (square free, not equal to one)
Prove that if or then is not a UFD.
I know that 2 is not a prime in . I also know that if d is one mod three we can rewrite it as the sum of 2 squares. But I don't know how to come up with explicit d. For I don't have a handy characterization (sum of 2 squares or something like that).
1) we have and thus if then won't be integrally closed and hence it cannot be a UFD.
2) if then is an irreducible element of (very easy to see!) so if was a UFD, then would have to be prime. now choose such that is an even number.
so and thus either or which is obviously impossible. Q.E.D.
Remark: clearly if and only if so that "either ... or" statement in 2) is not necessary and we could have just said
Another example of an integral domain that is not U.F.D is

We see that is irreducible in K, but it is not a prime element of K.
If it were a prime element, implies , which is impossible.
