4.9 Bore Spacing
I am curious to build a 4.7 Bore and 4.250 Stroke on a Dart Block with 11.1 inch deck height! so my question is: I not see any where listed cranks and heads for
4.9 B.S ? Can i use just regular crank and heads for 4.84 B.S ?
Also is there anyone out here that have tried 11.1 Deck height with 4.250 stroke
with very long rods for good rod to stroke ratio ? Any benefits compare to the
conventional set ups?

Front end weight is greater so if you can get it to lift you'll transfer more weight====
I used to build and race the 4.0 stroke 7.0 rod in 10.2 blocks--can't see advantage of greater rod /stroke ratio than around there---if you really want long rod ratio with big bore, use shorter stroke and 9.8 deck(or less) and turn it higher

If you're going to use the 11.1 deckheight block you might as well run the 4.750 stroke crank, with a 7.450 long rod and a piston with 1.027" pin height. This will net you a 1.568 rod stroke ratio. Myself I like anything thats above the 1.53 ratio. So you'd be doing pretty good. With the 4.7 bore and the 4.75 stroke.you'd be building a 659ci engine.
But if you went with the billit block and wanted to go to an even wider bore sepperation you could build bigger.
After considering all that. What heads, intake and distributor are you going to run?

4.9 Bore Spacing
Thanks for all quick replys!
I am currently running a 632 with 4.75 stroke and 6.700 Rod with 10.2 D.H Big M
Also have Big chief heads and a single Dominator and turning it to around 7500-7600 rpm maximum.
I was just thinking to build a similar or little smaller cu.in short block and take advantage of the raised cam,large cam core,Big Bore and the deck height and turning it higher.
Do i Think in the wrong Direction ????
And for the crank and heads use regular stuff or special order for 4.9 B.S ?????

Some of the best HPing engines I've been around had a rod/stroke ratio on or real close to 1.53. Sporting a nice broad power band. Thats why I try to stick around it when I have creative input on a new build. I've seen engines twist well above 8-8.5 kRPMs using it and have a very good life to them. With a good maintanence program that is.
I don't really think there is a "thinking in the wrong direction" actually. You are the end user and are wanting this engine for your use. So as long as it achieves what your end goal is then thats all that really matters.
But here is why I had suggested the bigger CI when using this block of choice. Keep in mind that these are just my opinions. I'm sure I'll be hounded for some of them.
: Everything you mentioned about the 11.1 block was designed around the longer stroke.
: Being able to fit the propper rod length in the assembly to support the longer stroke.
: Being able to fit the above in there and still fit a cam in there that will be able to get the job done.
What heads and intake combination are you wanting to run on this block? The same ones may not get you to your goal of a higher rpm without more work to them. We would need to know some more information on them. Bigger inch would more then likely need a better head cam combination to get more of everything includi9ng rpm. You will also run into some issues with the intake. Possibly the distributor also if you intend to use the stock location for it. But there are easy sollutions to these things.
Are you wanting to still be able to use your 632 as a spare and build a whole new 11.1 build? Would help us if we knew what all you are wanting to do for the whole build.
Everything I've said in this posts revolves around the 11.1 block build. I'll make a different post with my thoughts on a 4.25 stroke build.

If you were to come to me and ask for a totally new build wrapped around 4.25" stroke crank using the 4.9" bore spacing block this would be my suggestion.
The block would be the 10.2" deck height Dart Block with 4.7" bore. Stoke would be the 4.25" you're wanting. Using a 6.800" long rod. This would build you a 590 ci engine with a rod stroke ratio of 1.6 . This short block ought to be more rpm friendly then your current combination. If this were my personal engine, built around this short block combination, I wouldn't be afraid of 8500 rpms at all. How much higher rpm are you wanting to go with this build?
The good thing about this build is the head, intake, & distributor deal would be alot more common. I'm not sure that you can get to where you want to go on just one carb though.
From this short block you could have a head, intake & cam tailored for your needs of the higher RPM goal.
Where are you from?

One other combination you might consider is the same 10.2" DH on 4.9 BSing with the 4.7" bore block with the 4.375" stroke. This would build you a 607 ci engine.
You could still stay with the 1.27" pin height on the piston , use a 6.740 rod length and still have a 1.54 rod/stroke ratio.
If your ok with the 1.125" pin height on the pistons in your 632" engine you could build a 625" engine in the above block by running a 4.5 stroke and a 6.825 long rod and still have a R/S ratio of 1.517.
This post was just to promote some thought.
I do have a 540 out there running the 9.8 deck height block 4.25" crank and 6.400" rods thats making good power @ 8kRPMs. It's r/s ratio is 1.506. He had the block already when he came to me though, or it would have been a different engine.

4.9 Bore Spacing
Hi Don,
Thanks for all information !
I did'nt know there was a 10.2 D.H Block with the
raised cam location!!! Yes i have thought about all these combos and now when there is the 10.2 block it gives this thread a new dimension.
I have run a 10.2 540 cu in with 4.250 stroke and 6.800 rod and i liked it very much!
Yes i was thinking of use the big chief heads and maybe run it with the new ram box manifold.
Yes my plan was that to build a new shortblock specially made for a lot of nitrous
and use my existing top end with some work to fit the new combo!
Good to hear that you run it so high rpms successfully with your combos!
(i just read in magazines when talk about rod lenghts that use the longest rod
you can for good rod to stroke ratio so i have always looked for a rod ratio between 1.70-1.75. Very good to read your inputs and get a new thinking about
Rod Ratio.
Sorry,but no answer regarding crank and heads for 4.9 B.S compared for 4.84 B.S or do i have missed something?
Lo, Sweden.

Sorry Mr curious,
I have no experience with conterting from 4.84 to 4.9 bore spacing. Anytime I've built a 4.9 bs block, it was from the get go and all the parts were ordered accordingly.
I haven't addressed the issue cause I thought the Dart guys or Awesome Bill would hit it subject for you. Bill usually posts on the weekends. For some reason he didn't this past one.
You'll get an answer when he visits.
I did get my shinny new Dart catalog today, and in it they have the version of block that you're talking about in a 10.6 Deck Height version. Using it though would take just a lil' adapting of your intake and distributor.
Back to Bill,....I don't know who your supplier is over on your side of the world. But I would recomend Bill at Awesome Engines. Look him up on the Dart Board and you can get his contact information. Bill can spec the block to your needs and I'm pretty sure that he has offered to ship over seas. He is one of the members on this board, that I think offers this service, that I would trust.
If you need any other help, PM me and I'll send you some contact information. I'd be more then happy to help out as best I can.

you use the 4.840 crank in the 4.840 block they just put the 4.9" bore centers and bolt hole for them The larger 4.7" bolt will be good but your heads are most likely 4.840, they will not work. You can get 4.9 bore center heads, get a block done and your back in business with new intake and heads. I like the short stroke big bore but your going to go a long way to make just a few more hp. A rod that long with a 11.10 block is useless. You just don't need it.

Three fires are a part of the West Fork Fire Complex: the West Fork Fire, the Papoose Fire, and the Windy Pass Fire. The complex has grown to 75,150 acres with no containment and is burning in steep, rugged terrain with large amounts of beetle-killed spruce. Highway 160 remains closed, and multiple evacuations remain in effect.Continue Reading →

I really dont eat Mcdonalds for my own health, but have no problem with them being open on Christmas. Last year we had to drive back home on thanksgiving night, got really hungry and had to drive around for quite a while to find something open. Finally found a steak n shake, I was really glad they were open.
Heck, just from the small group of replies on here sounds like they'll have buisness.

The train dropped us off downtown, where we went on the hunt for dinner. We ducked into an Italian joint that had a couples special.

Focused on environmental sustainability, Hanna Brophy values the economic, social, and environmental benefits that "practicing green" delivers. As more and more companies take steps to make their businesses greener, they expect to work with green partners. As an integral part of any business team, lawyers are following in these same footsteps. Hanna Brophy is no exception as we seek to lead by example.
Through the development of state-of-the-art technology and software, Hanna Brophy first began implementation of a green initiative by significantly curbing the firm's paper consumption. The firm believes that there are attractive alternatives to the mass production and waste of paper by the litigation community. Currently at the Hanna Brophy, no one receives paper mail; rather, it routes through a central office for scanning and is then sent electronically to the internal recipient. The firm also encourages receipt of subpoenaed records by electronic means only and encourages client communication electronically whenever possible.
The process of changing the practice and culture of the firm to become greener everyday continues. The firm's robust technology and software system enables attorneys to work remote anywhere anytime. Additionally, many of our attorneys have taken a personal challenge to leave the car at home and commute green. Some commute to work and court by train, some commute by bus, and some even commute by bicycle. We think it's smart and responsible to lead by example.
Details and other examples of our green initiatives include:
- Reduce waste
Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary photocopying and to reuse packaging for shipping. All office products are routinely recycled, and some of our offices even compost food.
- Green office environments
Hanna Brophy has offices that 1) are Green certified, 2) use timers to turn lights off automatically, 3) turn off all office equipment at night, and 4) use energy-efficient light bulbs.
- Paperless
Our practice is to scan, shred, and recycle all incoming mail. All incoming CDs are electronically captured and then recycled. The majority of our correspondence is completed via email. When paper is necessary, it is photocopied on both sides and old letterhead/forms are used for scratch paper.
- Commute
Our San Francisco office offers transit passes to employees who take the bus or BART. Our Oakland office offers safe bike racks for cyclists. Attorneys are encouraged to telecommute when possible. All employees are encouraged to use public transportation.
- Business travel
Video teleconferencing has been installed in all firm offices to encourage video conferencing over car travel among offices.
- Buying green
We require suppliers to provide sustainable product alternatives. Our goal for buying recycled, refurbished, or used products is 80%. When an appliance or piece of equipment needs replacing, we will replace it with an energy-efficient option.
- Detoxification and e-waste
All used batteries and copier toner is properly disposed. Old computers, printers, and other electronic devices are recycled through e-waste recycling programs. We request our suppliers to provide us with alternatives to toxic substances.
- Transportation of products
Our policy for shipping and receiving is to always evaluate the impact of the products that we buy and to find ways to mitigate those impacts.
- Hanna Brophy Green Team
Hanna Brophy has established a team to lead the firm's eco-friendly efforts.
- Communicate
Our policy is to inform suppliers of our green goals and let our clients know about our efforts.

To do anything like GLS, you need to have a clear idea of the covariance structure of your errors. What -xtgls- does is it says, I know that my errors are only correlated within the panels, and there is nothing going on between panels. (Some further structures can be imposed, but this is the primary simplifying assumption.) As long as you know what your covariance structure of the errors should be, you can do things by hand through -mat accum- (see help matrix), and get the standard errors from the textbook matrix expressions. Those would be wrong if you had to estimate the covariance parameters; the only way to get the right standard errors would be to go to the maximum likelihood procedures, see help ml. --- Stas Kolenikov -- Ph.D. student in Statistics at UNC-Chapel Hill - http://www.komkon.org/~tacik/ -- firstname.lastname@example.com * This e-mail and all attachments to it are not intended to provide any * reasonable point of view and was transmitted to you in error.

Day 5 – Thu 31st July
Quite a British day was had, with a UK-SIG meeting starting the day. We workshopped with a number of attendees with British connections in their research, and a roomful of Brits, such as Jeanette Rosenberg, Sue Fifer, Jeremy Frankel and Michael Tobias were on hand to be experts. This was followed by Mark Nicholls and Laurence Harris presenting on the latest developments in British Genealogy, immediately after doing their bit as experts in the UK-SIG meeting. Michael Tobias gave an excellent session on his Scottish Research to end the day.
The only other session of note was Warren Blatt on Jewish Given Names, and I finally learnt how to pronounce the name of one of my great grandfathers, who does not have as unusual a name as I'd thought. According to WB, "Tunchem" and not "Tenachem" (which led to the English name "Tanny" for one of his grandchildren) was used traditionally in Poland.
There was a conference banquet tonight but I decided to skip it as it was expensive and spent 3 happy hours at the Family History Library instead, whizzing through Polish microfilms. It is so much easier to figure out the Polish compared to the Russian I'm used to!
Day 6 – Fri 1st Aug
The final day of the conference was just the morning, which was a bit tame by the high standard set earlier in the week. Pamela Weisenberger was on at 7.30am and went at a much better pace describing a tour of three countries and numerous archives. I'm sure we'll be in for a treat at her talk at the JGSGB conference in October. My second session was cancelled at the last minute, which is a polite way of saying that the speaker didn't bother to show. She was a filmmaker on the topic of the Jewish White Slave trade to Argentina at the turn of the 20th Century and was going to talk and screen her film. (I was particularly interested because I have a distant relative who disappeared to Argentina as a teenager and nobody in the family knows why… She came back in 1911 and married immediately but it was never talked about.) The final session was about finding missing maiden names for the women in your tree which was good fun if a little US centric.
There then followed a mass exodus down to the Family History Library, and I personally spent another 8 hours in front of the microfilm whizzers, and have scores of new records to decipher when I get back home, in both Polish and Russian. Even so, I kept going until they threatened to turn the computers off as I was in search of one particular Polish record in Russian that proved elusive. My head is spinning now…
My overall impressions of the conference are that it was exhausting, educational, entertaining and very inspirational in terms of doing more to improve my genealogical research. Would I go again? Definitely, provided the location makes sense. Next year is in Jerusalem and I'd love to go if I can afford the time and money. My concern would be that it might not be well attended because there was a very large American contingent who may not all travel to Jerusalem. Just like the Family History Library here in Salt Lake City, there are places in Jerusalem that have to be visited, such as Yad Vashem. However, I probably wouldn't attend a future conference if it was in Orlando, or Paris, as Universal Studios and Disneyland don't really do it for me. But I hear there are thoughts of future conferences in New York and Warsaw and I'd be first in line…
Early flight tomorrow back to Blighty. Time to pack…
Signing off from IAJGS 2014 – next year in Jerusalem!

Not hurting IIT autonomy, but decision is final: Sibal
Defending the decision to have a common entrance test, Sibal said it was taken in accordance with the IIT Act passed by Parliament.
Washington: Rejecting criticism and virtually ruling out going back on the new proposal, the Union Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal on Monday said the government has no intent to impinge on the autonomy of the Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs).
Defending the decision to have one nationwide common entrance test, which is being opposed by IIT Kanpur among others, Sibal said this has been taken in accordance with the IIT Act passed by Parliament.
Sibal said this is a unanimous decision of the IIT Council.
"There is no intent to impact on the IIT system autonomy...the exam that is being contemplated is to be set by the IIT itself," Sibal told reporters when asked to comment on the controversy back home.
Sibal further said that the decision of the IIT Council was in tune with the international practices.
Sibal is leading a high-powered Indian delegation to co-chair the India-US education dialogue with the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
Sibal had on May 28 announced that from 2013, aspiring candidates for IITs and other central institutes like NITs and IIITs will have to sit under a new format of common entrance test, which will also take the plus-two board results into consideration.
The Minister had claimed that it was approved without dissent at a council consisting of the IITs, the IIITs and the NITs.
Senate of the IIT-Kanpur has rejected the Centre's 'one-nation one-test' proposal and decided to conduct its own entrance exam from next year.
Sibal said that on his return, he would study the decisions being taken by the IIT Kanpur.
"This has nothing to do with the Government," he said noting that the decision has been taken in accordance with the IIT Act.
This would have no impact on the quality of the education in IITs.
The Minister was responding to questions after delivering his speech 'Education: US-India Collaboration' at an event organised jointly by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a prestigious American think-tank based in Washington and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
In his remarks, the Minister said India, having a young and dynamic population, is facing enormous challenge in the higher education sector, and in order to provide college education to all the country in the coming years as many as 800 new universities and 40,000 to 50,000 new colleges.
"It is not an easy task. It is a monumental task. But there are enormous opportunities there."

Have you ever asked, How do I make an app?
iTalk Recorder, our popular iOS voice recording iPhone app has recently surpassed 2 million downloads in the app store. To celebrate, the app has been updated with an improved user interface and easier access to sharing. You can even access your files via iTunes File Sharing.
Rather than just talk about the app, I thought it would be more fun to share an interview with it's creator, Jamin Guy. If you've ever asked "How do I make an app?" this post is for you!
My name is Jamin Guy and I'm a Senior Product Developer here at Griffin Technology. I work on various software projects from mobile native and web apps to web services. Some of the projects make it out into the wild but others are tools for internal use only.
The very first exposure I had to iOS programming was actually on the unofficial jailbreak SDK which was out for a few months before Apple announced the official iOS SDK 1.0. I started with a solid foundation in software engineering and object oriented programming so it wasn't too far of a leap to go to iOS development. The next Spring when Apple released the official SDK I continued learning Obj-C and the Cocoa frameworks, by playing around with iOS sample code and reading as much as I could from Apple's documentation, books, and blog posts. I basically just tried to soak in as much knowledge as I could and learned by trial and error.
I was playing guitar at my house a lot back then and really needed a way to quickly and easily record song ideas. After trying a few of the recording apps available then, I got discouraged with either their lack of features or the nasty bugs they had. Griffin had a hardware product called iTalk from several years before that allowed you to record audio to iPods so it was a natural extension for us to create a recording app. I realized that there was an opportunity to create a simple recorder that had just the features I wanted without being bloated and hard to use. The main feature that iTalk had that others didn't was the ability to pause and append to recordings. It also had a very clean and intuitive UI/UX. It seems trivial now but remember this was back in 2008 when there were far fewer apps than today.
When I started developing iTalk it was the first big iOS project that I had ever done and my lack of knowledge of both Obj-C and the platform were big hurdles. The official iOS SDK had also only been out for a couple of months so there wasn't a lot of information outside of Apple's documentation, which was sparse at the time. When we went to develop version 2.0 of the app a year later I ended up refactoring a ton of code from the first version. Looking back on it there was a pile of nasty code in version 1.0. It's a wonder it worked as well as it did back then!
When we first started out the main difference between the 2 versions was that one had ads and one didn't. Apple didn't allow background processing back then so both versions stopped recording when pushed to the background. Over time as Apple opened up more functionality in the SDK we added background recording and playback to the Premium version. We also added Dropbox support to the Premium version as well, which has been a really popular feature. In the latest versions we added iTunes File Sharing support which allows users to transfer recordings directly to their computers through iTunes. Some of the recordings can get very large so this feature makes getting recordings off of your device a breeze.
We've had over 2 million downloads of the free version and we've now passed the 100,000 mark on Premium. I think the most downloads we had in one day was 30,000 or 40,000 back when it first came out. When Apple released iOS 2.0 they included a built in recorder app so we thought that iTalk's days were numbered but surprisingly it has continued to do very well over time.
Where would you point developers to learn to code for iOS?
As I mentioned before the Apple docs and sample code are a great place to start. Apple has done an excellent job of updating both of these over time and they remain my number one spot for finding out information. There are some great books as well such as TapWorthy and iOS Recipes. You can also get some great knowledge from iTunes U where Stanford has free video lectures from their iOS development class. StackOverflow is a great place to find answers to many questions. If you're running up against a problem, chances are that someone else has run into the same thing before and there's no use reinventing the wheel! Now you can also find a ton of open source stuff on github.com and other places like http://cocoacontrols.com. The bottom line is that there are a plethora of places to find good information and it's up to you to take the plunge!
Thanks Jamin!

Now head to the App Store to download iTalk Lite for free. If you like it and you'd like the bonus features pick up iTalk Premium for just $1.99.

Publishing Managed Metadata Service across farms:
In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, some service applications can be shared across farms. By publishing a service application, you can optimize resources, avoid redundancy, and provide enterprise-wide services without installing a dedicated enterprise services farm. In this document we are going to publish and consume Managed Metadata Service across farms. The Publisher farm is the farm in which the Service application is running and the Consumer farm is the farm which will consume data from the publishing farm.
Configure Managed Metadata Service in Publishing Farm:
We need to configure Managed Metadata service in the publishing farm which will be used by the consuming farm. The steps involved to configure Managed Metadata Service are given below.
Steps Involved:
Creating Content Type Hub: SharePoint 2010 introduces a new concept called Content Type Hubs. It's a way to make content types available centrally and be reusable in the Farm. This is a huge improvement from SharePoint 2007 both in terms of management of content types and overall flexibility that comes with it. In SharePoint 2007 there is no way to manage Content type centrally. To share Content Type across site collection level or web application level in SharePoint 2007, you need to copy the same content type in different site collections or web applications. Another way could be to use web feature to enable content type across site collections or web applications. SharePoint 2010 has provided out of the box support for sharing Content Types across farm level.Content Type Hubs enables you to create new content types and then make them available to other SharePoint site collections in the same or different web applications or across farms. This is a publisher-subscriber model, where content types are published by the Content Type Hubs using Metadata service and subscribers are the web applications in the SharePoint Farm. Finally, all the site collections in the web application which subscribe to this Metadata service will get this content type.
Configuring the Content Type Hub:
Publish Content Type:
The Enterprise Metadata Management Service or Metadata Service (in short), allows sharing Metadata and Content Type across the farm. To share Content types you need to define the content type(s) in a site collection. You can consider the site collection as the place where you'll put all your related content types to share across farm. This site collection, which is used to host content types or sharing, is called Content Type Hub.
1. Create a new Content Type in a site collection that to be shared:First select a site collection as a place to host your content types. You will define your content types to share across farm. Given below are the following steps to be followed to create a new content type that has to be shared.Steps Involved:
Go to the site collection where you want to host your content Type.
Go to Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Galleries ->Site Content Types.
In the top right you can see Create, click Create.
Enter the name of the content type as Parent Content Type as shown in the figure below.
Click OK to create a new content type named Parent Content Type.
Go to Site Content Type Information and click Add from New Site Column.
Enter the name for the column as Category - Metadata and choose the type of information as Managed Metadata as shown in the figure below.
Choose the term set that we have already created when configuring the Managed Metadata service and click ok.
A new field has been added to the content type.
2. Activate feature to enable content publishing in site collection:
The site collection, which will host content types for sharing, is known as content type hub. To enable your site collection to be a content type hub you need to activate a feature known as "Content Type Syndication Hub".
Go to Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Site Collection Administration -> Site Collection Features.
Activate the feature Content Type Syndication Hub.
Once you have activated this feature, you will find an option "Manage Publishing for this content type" in your content type setting page as shown below:
Bind content type hub with a metadata service
Go to the Central Administration->Application Management->Manage Service Applications.
Select the Managed Metadata service and in the Ribbon Select the Properties.
There's an option for Content Type Hub and here put the url of your site collection where the content type is created.
Configure Metadata Connection: To configure metadata connection, go to metadata service connection properties and ensure that the connection consumes the content type hub as shown below.
In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, a SharePoint farm can connect to and consume a service application that is published on another SharePoint Server 2010 farm. For this to occur, the farms must exchange trust certificates. You must use Windows Power Shell 2.0 commands to export and copy the certificates between farms. After the certificates are exported and copied, you can use either Windows Power Shell 2.0 commands or Central Administration to manage the trusts within the farm. To exchange trust certificates between farms the following steps should be followed.
Exporting and copying certificates
Managing trust certificates
Exporting and copying certificates:
An administrator of the consuming farm must provide two trust certificates to the publishing farm: a root certificate and a security token service (STS) certificate. An administrator of the publishing farm must provide a root certificate to the consuming farm.To export the root certificate from the consuming farm:
In the consuming farm go to Start menu.
Go to SharePoint 2010 Management Shell and select Run as Administrator.
In the command prompt, type each of the following commands.
$rootCert = (Get-SPCertificateAuthority).RootCertificate
$rootCert.Export("Cert") | Set-Content "C:\Users\554pa\ConsumingFarmRoot.cer" -Encoding byte
$stsCert = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
$stsCert.Export("Cert") | Set-Content "C:\Users\554pa\ConsumingFarmSTS.cer" -Encoding byte
To export the root certificate from the publishing farm:
In the Command Prompt, type each of the following commands.
$rootCert.Export("Cert") | Set-Content "C:\Users\554pa\PublishingFarmRoot.cer" -Encoding byt
$trustCert = Get-PfxCertificate "C:\Users\554pa\PublishingFarmRoot.cer"
New-SPTrustedRootAuthority "MetadataPublishingFarm" -Certificate $trustCert
$trustCert = Get-PfxCertificate "C:\Users\554pa\ConsumingFarmRoot.cer"
New-SPTrustedRootAuthority "MetadataConsumingFarm" -Certificate $trustCert
$stsCert = Get-PfxCertificate "C:\Users\554pa\ConsumingFarmSTS.cer"
New-SPTrustedServiceTokenIssuer "MetadataConsumingFarm" -Certificate $stsCert
copy the Published URL which should be provided by the consuming farm when connecting to the publishing farm.copy the Published URL which should be provided by the consuming farm when connecting to the publishing farm.copy the Published URL which should be provided by the consuming farm when connecting to the publishing farm.
Publish a Service Application:
In the command prompt, type each of the following commands.
Get-SPFarm | Select Id
The above command is used to get the farm id.
Save the farm id.
Go to the Central Administration->Application Management->Manage Service Applications.
Click on Managed Metadata Service.
In the Ribbon select Permissions.
Enter the farm id that you got from step 3 and click Add.
In Permissions for Local Farm, select the Full Access to Term Store.
Click OK.
Connect to a service application on a remote farm:
Associate the service application connection with a local Web application:
To use the published content type and the Taxonomy that we have created in the publishing farm you need to activate the Content Type Syndication Hub and the taxonomy feature. I have created web application in the consuming farm and I am going to use the published content type and the taxonomy in the root Site Collection of the Web Application that has been created. Follow the steps below.
Activating the Taxonomy Feature using Power Shell:
Enable-SPFeature -id 73EF14B1-13A9-416b-A9B5-ECECA2B0604C -URL http://kijs01:4000/
Summary:In this document we have created Managed Metadata Service in the publishing farm and we have consumed the data from that in the consuming farm.

Ok. I emailed (yesterday, I think). No word back yet, but that's ok.
I want to throw a suggestion out here for you guys to consider. It's a fully no-pressure thing.. just an idea.
If we, as a group, each have our first rows ready prior to the Dec 1 deadline, do we want to start early?
I'm not rushing anyone... like I said, just an idea that came to me.

Definition of continual
1 : continuing indefinitely in time without interruption continual fear
2 : recurring in steady usually rapid succession a history of continual invasions
continual was our Word of the Day on 03/15/2011. Hear the podcast!

Examples of continual in a Sentence
This week we experienced days of continual sunshine.
The country has been in a continual state of war since it began fighting for its independence.
The continual interruptions by the student were annoying the teacher.
Did You Know?
Since the mid-19th century, many grammarians have drawn a distinction between continual and continuous. Continual should only mean "occurring at regular intervals," they insist, whereas continuous should be used to mean "continuing without interruption." This distinction overlooks the fact that continual is the older word and was used with both meanings for centuries before continuous appeared on the scene. The prescribed sense of continuous became established only in the 19th century, and it never succeeded in completely driving out the equivalent sense of continual. Today, continual is the more likely of the two to mean "recurring," but it also continues to be used, as it has been since the 14th century, with the meaning "continuing without interruption."
Origin and Etymology of continual
Middle English, from Anglo-French continuel, from Latin continuus continuous
First Known Use: 14th century

All Pigs Must Die is a new band that is rapidly and viciously taking the world by storm! Right off the bat their pedigree gives them a advantage. Kevin Baker (the Hope Conspiracy) is the throat and Ben Koller (Converge) is the battery.
Although the band's members hail from these known modern hardcore/metal acts they turn their more crust punk/d-beat-driven aggression outward with ALL PIGS MUST DIE. All Pigs Must Die (APMD) is a band committed to uncompromising sonic warfare. Its sound and lyrics assault the listener in a fury of blackened death filled anthems.
Owing as much to the Cro-Mags and Discharge as Entombed and Celtic Frost. APMD mix powerful riffs, relentless tempos and a dark presence to bulldoze a grim path of destruction. Recorded and mixed by KURT BALLOU (Converge guitarist and master engineer for bands such as Black Breath, Nails, Trap Them, Disfear etc..) at Godcity Studio in December of 2010 the end result is 8 violence inducing shredders steeped in utter filth.
German artist FLORIAN BERTMER has lent his nihilistic hand, pen and mind to develop along with the band their iconic artwork.
2011 has already seen the band bringing their apocalyptic end time sermon to captive audiences everywhere from their hometown of Boston to Austin, to Austin,Texas. After "God is War" is unleashed the band will be touring even more including performances at the Power of the Riff festivals on the West Coast in August.
As it is, so be it, for the end.

Unorthodox family structure may have helped insect spread
By Susan Milius, 18:59 PM February 1, 2011
An odd reproductive biology lets longhorn crazy ants mate with their siblings without inbreeding — and it also turns out to be useful for world domination.
That power has probably helped Paratrechina longicornis become one of the most widespread invasive ants in the tropics, says evolutionary biologist Morgan Pearcy of the Free University of Brussels. The tiny ants with long antennae, nicknamed crazy ants because they dash along erratically instead of following foraging trails, now occupy so ...

CLOSE: WTB: 330ci or 325ci - car found
Okay folks, I know you all want to move up to an M3. Let me help you do that by buying up your 330ci or 325ci.
80-135k mi.
manual trans.
hardtop w/ sunroof.
colors: in order of preference Steel Gray, Titanium Silver, Steel Blue, Alpine White (pretty much anything but black, green, or red).
as few engine mods as possible (except cold air intake--would like that).
plenty of suspension upgrades welcome, or at least stock sports package.
original stereo equipment (I like NPR so I don't exactly need super audio quality) though an ipod dock would be a plus.
preferably no accidents; if you have one, claim reports/docs detailing the repairs and replaced bits would be nice.
$8500 is my hard max for a car like I've just described. Am located south of ATL, so I can hop a plane and drive home from pretty much anywhere. I need to burn some vacation time anyway. The more scenic the route, the better.
PM, e-mail, or just call 912...309...1832... Gonna want pics and a VIN. I also appreciate a good story if you can tell one.
Thanks in advance,
My for sale thread is old but I've recently been thinking about a ZHP.
I'm up to 145k now, but haven't done anything to it besides oil changes since I made this ad. I'm (obviously) not asking $11k now. I know it's not your color, but the suspension has been completely redone and you would be hard-pressed to find a better maintained, more documented car.
Let me know if you're interested, thanks.
thanks for replying
I appreciate your reply, Sam. I think I'll keep looking a little longer, but thanks for responding. Your car seems to be in good shape, so I might keep you in mind despite the mileage and color. It may just be psychological, but come live in GA for a week during August with that black on black car... you'll be back in NH before you can get the sweaty shirt off your back.
You should repost that thing though. She's a beauty and looks to be well-cared for based on pics in the old post.
325ci as well...
I'll also consider a 325ci with the same criteria as in the original post, except a wider range of year models 2001-2005. Preference for the facelift, which might still be in my price range.
I have an 01' 330CI, it is black (but has tan leather and M sport package). It is a steptronic auto with sport mode. Recently, I have replaced nearly every seal and gasket in the motor. After I buy a car I like to look at the internals (which seemed fine, but once your in there its worth the 250 to replace everything non metal. I like to reassure myself of the cars fundamentals (I always do it, this is the fifth car Ive done so on; 2 BMW and 3 Audi turbo quattros); I also replaced all of cooling systems, thermostats, ignition components, spark plugs, wires, suspension bushings and rods, power steering high pressure lines and pump, timing chain, control arms, rotors and pads, etc, etc, etc. Clean CarFax. That is basically what I consider initial maintenance on any used car I buy, I love my cars; though now I am in the market for an M3. I know these pics arent great but I have many more if you interested, I can email them. I dont have time to set up a website to post pictures here. IF your intersted I can send you picks
Everything is solid and it is quick.
Oh, and Im only looking for $7,500
I appreciate the reply, Nick, but I'd really like to get a manual this time around.
Your ride seems well-cared for though. Mileage unknown, your asking doesn't sound bad. Best of luck.
Hey, I'd be willing to go down to 8.5k if your still interested.. its a 5 speed with 126k miles, but its black on black
let me know what ya think :thumbup:
Still looking, guys...
2001 85xxx miles 325ci lowered all the way coilovers m3 rims winter rims and tires also m3 front bumper i wanted 10000 8500 its yours 815-980-1471
PM'd. Send details.
Found what I was looking for. Mods, delete this thread if necessary.

- dash of cayenne (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
Saute the onion and garlic in the EVOO until browning (about 8 minutes). Add the chopped zucchini and green pepper and continue to sauté. Add the can of black bean soup and spices.
Arrange the corn tortillas in the bottom of a baking dish that is coated with a small layer of liquid from the soup.
Spoon the mixture into the tortillas.
Fold the tortillas over themselves and top with liquid from the soup.
Bake at 350F for 5 – 10 minutes until tortillas are heated through.
They fell apart trying to spoon them out of the pan, but that didn't affect the taste at all.
Sides can be anything you desire: chips and salsa, guacamole, tomato slices, avocado slices, etc.
My favorite soup to use is the black bean soup by Muir Glen, but any will do, or even cooked/canned black beans.
Veggies can be substituted too: add more tomatoes, omit peppers or use red instead, add more corn, add jalapenos, etc.
Have you ever tried enchiladas? What are your favorite mexican foods and sides?

You have questions, we have answers!
At Olympus Insurance, we are committed to serving you. Whether it's a simple evaluation of your current policy or advice on how you can get the best value for your money, Olympus Insurance is here for you with answers. Let us put our knowledge and experience to work for you.
Many insurance companies exclude coverage of swimming pool screens. At Olympus, we can help homeowners insure and protect this property – your pool screen is automatically covered within our basic policy limits.
It's true. Typical homeowner insurance policies do not cover flood damage. At Olympus, we can help you secure appropriate flood insurance and save money by offering a companion policy discount if you write the flood policy along with our homeowners or dwelling fire policy.
It's true. If your home is framed with a hip roof design, it offers greater protection from the element of wind. That's why hip roofs can earn you a discount on your insurance premium. But you can also reduce your homeowner insurance premiums other ways, such as installing hurricane shutters or a home security alarm system, to name but a few.
This means that if you have a hurricane deductible, which is typically the larger of the deductibles listed on your policy; it will ONLY come into play if the storm is deemed a tropical storm or a hurricane by the National Weather Service. At Olympus, even if the storm is severe, but not named, you get the benefit of applying your "all other peril" deductible (AOP) in the event of a wind loss.
If you are only carrying actual cash value (ACV) for your contents or dwelling, your insurance carrier is only obligated to pay you what your house and contents are currently worth, not what it would cost to replace them. Selecting Replacement Cost coverage for your contents and dwelling will afford the replacement of the item at today's cost.
Even though you may be paying less premium for a optional coverages (like water/sewer back up), you may be receiving less value. If the endorsement does not carry its own deductible your claim may not be covered until the loss reaches a much higher basic policy deductible – which can cost you thousands of dollars. Verify the value of the endorsements added to your policy today!

Key matchups could bring clarity to BCS title race; more Overtime
In the moments after Florida State's win over rival Miami on Saturday night, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher and quarterback Jameis Winston both answered questions about overcoming "adversity" during the game.
Mind you, Florida State had just won 41-14. But in this year's BCS title race, adversity consists of Winston throwing two interceptions and the previously unbeaten Hurricanes daring to stay within seven points of the 'Noles until early in the second half. In the case of Oregon a week earlier, adversity was 5-1 UCLA limiting the Ducks to three touchdowns through three quarters. Oregon eventually won that Oct. 26 matchup by nearly an identical score, 42-14.
Thus, we're at a complete loss trying to separate the teams at the top of this year's BCS standings.
As the 2013 season hits its final month, Alabama, Florida State and Oregon sit at the top in some order, with undefeated Ohio State generally regarded a notch below and undefeated Baylor still a wild card. Fans can pore over the Billingsley rankings all they want, but there will be no discernible separation among the top three unless one of the frontrunners loses. To date, that's only come close to happening once, when Alabama beat Texas A&M 49-42 on Sept. 14 in a game the Crimson Tide led by double digits for most of the second half.
Which brings us to Week 11, easily the most intriguing slate of games thus far. It features three matchups between unbeatens and top-12 opponents. On Thursday night, No. 2 Oregon (8-0) will visit No. 6 Stanford (7-1) in a rematch of last year's 17-14 Cardinal upset in Eugene, while No. 5 Baylor (7-0) will host No. 12 Oklahoma (7-1) in the Bears' first notable test of the season. On Saturday, No. 10 LSU (7-2) will visit No. 1 Alabama (8-0) in a game that holds seemingly annual national title implications.
Over an eight-day span that started on Saturday with Florida State's win over Miami, all of the prime contenders save for Ohio State (which has a bye this week) will have a chance pad their BCS résumés. Or they'll lose, which quite frankly, would help clear the entire picture up.
STAPLES: Florida State proves it can win even when Jameis Winston makes mistakes
After Week 10, one could subjectively argue that any of Alabama, Florida State or Oregon deserves to be ranked No. 1. Quantitatively, however, the 'Noles have the most impressive résumé. Saturday's victory marked their second blowout of a top-10 foe, and while Miami may lose another game or two the rest of the way (it lost star running back Duke Johnson to a season-ending broken ankle), Clemson (8-1) remains in the top eight. Florida State whipped the Tigers 51-14 on the road on Oct. 19. Winston has been sensational, but Saturday night was a reminder that the 'Noles have ample other weapons, such as running back Devonta Freeman, who had 176 total yards and three touchdowns in the win.
"I feel like we can play with anybody in the country," said Florida State nose guard Timmy Jernigan. "I feel like we're second to nobody."
That may be true -- as evidenced by the love the BCS computers are showing the Seminoles -- but the pollsters currently disagree. Unfortunately for Fisher's team, it likely won't have another showcase opportunity to change voters' minds. It closes against 4-5 Wake Forest, 4-4 Syracuse, 1-8 Idaho and 4-4 Florida before the ACC title game. And while Florida State's marquee matchups are finished, most other contenders' are still to come.
Oregon, for example, has an opportunity to make a huge statement on Thursday. Not since Alabama's season-opening 35-10 win over Virginia Tech -- which has recently been devalued by the Hokies' consecutive losses to Duke and Boston College -- has one of the top-five teams faced a defense the caliber of Stanford's. The Ducks average 331.5 yards per game on the ground. The Cardinal allow just 103.9. Last year, Stanford held Oregon to two touchdowns. The Ducks have scored at least 34 points in every one of their other previous 34 games.
An Oregon win by any margin would presumably push it back up to No. 2 in the BCS standings, though that would surely prompt howls from Tallahassee if the game comes down to the final seconds. Even then, however, the Ducks have remaining regular-season games against Arizona (6-2) and Oregon State (6-3). If they reach the Pac-12 title game, they'll likely meet Arizona State or UCLA.
Meanwhile, it feels as if Alabama has been on a perpetual bye for about eight weeks now. In reality, it's just dispatched six straight overmatched foes by a combined score of 246-26. This year's LSU game doesn't feel quite as monumental as the past two regular-season meetings, given the Tigers' two early losses and their rebuilding defense. But LSU's star-studded offense (Zach Mettenberger, Jeremy Hill and Odell Beckham Jr.) ensures this will likely be far from another 9-6 contest.
If we're being honest, the Tide are ranked No. 1 right now because they started the year No. 1, and because who the heck would bet against an undefeated Nick Saban team? By season's end, however, 'Bama will have faced LSU, current AP Poll No. 7 Auburn and, if they reach the SEC title game, most likely No. 9 Missouri or No. 13 South Carolina. The Tide will have their chances to reassert their superiority.
Then there's Baylor. Thursday night's showdown with Oklahoma feels like an official debut after a seven-game soft launch. The Bears, whose four conference opponents to date are a combined 4-13 in other league games, are playing catch up. But if they keep putting up 50 points and 600-plus yards against the Sooners (7-1), No. 25 Texas Tech (7-2) and No. 15 Oklahoma State (7-1) in the next few weeks, they'll have to be taken more seriously. At the very least, they'll have an opportunity to leapfrog the Buckeyes.
After that, however, Baylor, will have to wait to see whether some of the other undefeated teams go down. If they don't, the final season of the BCS is going to be its most frustrating ever.
Michigan State's defense silences rival Michigan
Ohio State (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) routed hapless Purdue 56-0 on Saturday, and throughout various other game broadcasts this weekend, I heard announcers emphasize the Buckeyes' need for "style points." Well, that's not the case. Ohio State needs two of the teams ranked above it to lose, plain and simple. Its margin of victory is largely irrelevant. More than anything, Urban Meyer's team needs to win all of its remaining games, and an interesting challenger is emerging as a possible Big Ten title game opponent.
Michigan State (8-1, 5-0) already boasted the nation's top-ranked defense before Saturday's meeting with archrival Michigan. But its jaw-dropping defensive performance in a 29-6 blowout of the Wolverines was something to behold. The Spartans sacked Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner four times in the first quarter and seven times on the day. They held their opponent to a staggering -48 rushing yards on 29 attempts (which includes the sacks and a snap over Gardner's head).
In a telling sequence, Michigan appeared to turn the momentum when cornerback Raymon Taylor intercepted a Connor Cook pass at the Spartans' 41-yard line with the Wolverines trailing 16-6 late in the third quarter. Instead, on the ensuing Michigan possession, the Spartans' defense imposed their will. Defensive end Shilique Calhoun (2.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries) and safety Isaiah Lewis stuffed Gardner for a five-yard loss on a first-down keeper. Linebacker Denicos Allen (nine tackles, three sacks) sacked the quarterback for a nine-yard loss on second down. Allen and Ed Davis sacked Gardner again on third down.
RICKMAN: Spartans' defense overwhelms the Wolverines; midday Snaps
"We basically lived in the backfield," said cornerback Darqueze Dennard, who had a forced fumble and an interception.
Michigan finished the game with 168 total yards. The Wolverines have admittedly dealt with offensive line issues all season long, but they put up 751 yards against Indiana just two weeks ago.
"You never think you're going to be that good," defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi said of the performance. "They have a good football team, but we have a great football team."
Many outside the Big Ten might scoff at that notion, but Michigan State plays the type of suffocating defense on which Alabama and LSU have long prided themselves. Narduzzi's group is allowing just 43.4 rushing yards per game. It hasn't faced an elite quarterback or offense all year, but it'd most likely get that opportunity if the Spartans hang on to win the Legends Division.
Ohio State's offense is rolling. Since missing two early-season games with a knee injury, quarterback Braxton Miller has completed 74.4 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and two interceptions. Running back Carlos Hyde has notched four straight 100-yard games. There's a lot of football left between now and Dec. 7, but a clash between the Buckeyes' offense and Spartans' defense would be fascinating.
Nebraska and Northwestern's fates change with one heave
A fifth-year senior quarterback with 45 career pass attempts. A mustachioed redshirt freshman wide receiver with 13 catches on the season. A 49-yard desperation heave, a mass of bodies, a tip and a catch, and two teams' seasons changed in an instant.
Two unlikely figures, Nebraska's Ron Kellogg III and Jordan Westerkamp, combined for what will presumably go down as one of the most memorable plays in the Huskers' storied history with Saturday's game-winning Hail Mary to beat Northwestern 27-24.
"I didn't even know I could throw it that far," said Kellogg, who had completed 6-of-12 throws for 55 yards with an interception on the day prior to his heave. "We mess around with it [in practice]. Tommy [Armstrong Jr.] and I mess around just heaving the ball trying to hit the goal post. Never do we think that we'd have to do that in a game to win the game."
Thanks to one last-gasp throw, Nebraska (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) and its fans got to enjoy some much-needed euphoria. Coach Bo Pelini's job security had become a hot topic on the heels of a 34-23 loss at Minnesota, and as the underdog Wildcats (4-5, 0-5) jumped to a 21-7 lead in Lincoln -- and then went ahead 24-21 on a 21-yard field goal with 1:20 remaining in the fourth quarter -- it sure seemed like Pelini was headed for another unpleasant week.
Video: Nebraska beats Northwestern on Hail Mary touchdown pass
Theoretically, one miracle pass says nothing about the true state of Pelini's program. Yet in the real world, an exhilarating victory quiets the whispers like nothing else can.
Meanwhile, it's hard to imagine a more devastating way for Northwestern to lose. On Oct. 5, Pat Fitzgerald's team was 4-0 and ranked No. 16 in the country. ESPN's College GameDay was on campus, and the program was riding high. But starting with that night's near-miss against Ohio State, the injury-riddled Wildcats dropped four in a row, including an overtime loss at Iowa on Oct. 26. Their goals shifted from a possible division title to simply reaching bowl eligibility. Despite being down to one healthy running back by Saturday's end, they appeared to have their fifth victory in hand against Nebraska. They called a timeout before the final play to set their defense.
But as Kellogg's heave descended, Westerkamp slipped behind Northwestern's players and found himself wide open. He was in the perfect spot when the ball deflected. "You can never let somebody get behind the pile," said Fitzgerald. Even crueler, the Hail Mary came less than a year after Michigan pulled off a similar late-game bomb to help send their 2012 matchup with Northwestern into overtime. The Wolverines ultimately won that meeting 38-31.
Now, the Wildcats need to upset either Michigan or Michigan State to avoid missing a bowl for the first time since 2007. The Huskers went from the brink of disaster to remaining within a game of first place in the Legends Division. All on one improbable heave.
Current BCS forecast
Each week, I'll update my projected BCS lineup (as necessary) based on the latest week's games. Here's my current edition:
Title game: Alabama vs. Oregon
Rose: Ohio State vs. Stanford
Fiesta: Baylor vs. Fresno State
Sugar: Auburn vs. UCF
Orange: Florida State vs. Wisconsin
MANDEL: Complete bowl projections: Solving the SEC logjam; what to do with Notre Dame?
Clemson, 8-1 and back up to seventh in the latest BCS standings, would get left out of a BCS bowl in the current scenario. To avoid that, the Tigers either need Florida State to move into the title game or Fresno State and Northern Illinois to both lose, thus freeing up an at-large spot. Or the Orange Bowl could take one for the team and select UCF, which would allow the Sugar Bowl to take the Tigers. Or Clemson could finish in the top four and guarantee itself a berth.
In other words, if Clemson goes 11-1, I don't see it missing the cut.
In other news, Notre Dame climbed to No. 23 in the latest BCS standings, which is significant because the Fighiting Irish would almost certainly be selected over Wisconsin or any other at-large team if it finishes in the top 14. To do that, however, they'd need to win out. Notre Dame will visit Stanford on Nov. 30.
If this were 2014 ...
Starting this week, I'll include a section that will show what the new big-six bowl lineup (including playoff matchups) would hypothetically look like if the new postseason format were already in place. For this exercise, I'll use the current BCS standings in place of the forthcoming selection committee's rankings.
Sugar: No. 1 Alabama (SEC champ) vs. No. 4 Ohio State (Big Ten champ)
Rose: No. 2 Florida State (ACC champ) vs. No. 3 Oregon (Pac-12 champ)
Fiesta: No. 5 Stanford (at-large) vs. No. 16 Fresno State (Group of Five)
Cotton: No. 6 Baylor (displaced Big 12 champ) vs. No. 9 Auburn (at-large)
Orange: No. 7 Clemson (ACC replacement) vs. No. 8 Missouri (SEC/Big Ten/Notre Dame)
Chick-fil-A: No. 10 Oklahoma (at-large) vs. No. 11 Miami (at-large)
• The Sugar and Rose bowls are scheduled to host the first semifinals next year, with No. 1 Alabama getting the first choice of geographic placement.
• Big 12 champ Baylor, displaced from the Sugar Bowl, would make the most sense in the Cotton Bowl.
• Clemson would replace ACC champ Florida State in the Orange Bowl, and Missouri, as the highest-ranked available team from among the SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame, would get the other Orange Bowl spot.
• Stanford and Fresno State (the highest-ranked team from the Group of Five conferences) would make the most geographic sense in the Fiesta Bowl.
• Oklahoma would be placed in the Chick-fil-A Bowl to avoid a conference rematch with Baylor. Auburn would be placed in a traditional SEC bowl, and Miami would be placed in a traditional ACC bowl.
Spreading the field
• Give it up for Ed Orgeron. USC's interim coach is 3-0 in Pac-12 play following the Trojans' (6-3, 3-2) impressive 31-14 win at Oregon State last Friday. Star receiver Marqise Lee returned from a knee injury and scored a 71-yard touchdown, and sophomore running back Javorius "Buck" Allen broke out, rushing for 133 yards and three scores. Silas Redd added 22 carries for 140 yards, and USC intercepted Beavers quarterback Sean Mannion three times.
Remarkably, Orgeron's three conference wins in 2013 equal the same number he had in three seasons at the helm at Ole Miss.
RICKMAN: Report says USC interviewed Lovie Smith; Smith denies
• Preseason Big 12 favorite Oklahoma State (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) finally put it all together against a quality foe in this week's 52-34 win over Texas Tech (7-2, 4-2). The Cowboys have developed a powerful ground game thanks to the emergence of Desmond Roland (31 carries, 96 yards, three touchdowns) and freshman Rennie Childs (nine carries, 70 yards). They finished Saturday with 281 rushing yards on 55 attempts. "We've got a chance [to win the Big 12]," said coach Mike Gundy. "We're not good enough to look past the next game. But we're improving."
• The maddening career of Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas played out over the course of one game on Saturday. In throwing for a career-high 391 yards against Boston College, the senior broke Tyrod Taylor's school record (8,719 yards) for career total offense. Then Thomas turned the ball over four times in the second half, which led to 17 points for the Eagles (4-4, 2-3 ACC) as they topped the Hokies (6-3, 3-2) 34-27. "Everything is right about him," Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said in defending Thomas. "Maybe he tries too hard, but that's not a bad fault."
• Georgia (5-3, 4-2 SEC) welcomed Todd Gurley back to the lineup against Florida after he missed three games with an ankle injury, and he promptly broke off a five-yard rushing touchdown and 73-yard catch-and-run score early in the first quarter. The Gators (4-4, 3-3) rallied from a 20-0 deficit to get within 23-20, but they couldn't avoid their third straight loss this season and their first three-game losing streak to the Dawgs since 1987-89 -- an indignity for Will Muschamp that even Ron Zook managed to avoid.
RICKMAN: Georgia beats Florida after holding off Gators' second-half comeback
• Missouri (8-1, 4-1) staved off any concerns about a post-South Carolina hangover by demolishing Tennessee, 31-3. The Tigers ran for 339 yards. "Why in the world would you ever be thinking about last week's game when there's so much out there?" said coach Gary Pinkel. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2) handled Mississippi State 34-16. If they beat Florida on Nov. 16 and if Georgia loses to Auburn, Mizzou needs to win out against Kentucky (2-6), Ole Miss (5-3) and Texas A&M (7-2) to win the SEC East.
• The rivalry between Auburn's Gus Malzahn and Arkansas' Bret Bielema is off to a roaring start, even if the coaches won't admit that one exists. After complaining that Auburn edited out a swinging-gate formation from game tape it sent to the Razorbacks, Arkansas installed its own swinging-gate play and ran it with success on Saturday. Malzahn complained over the summer about players faking injuries to defend the hurry-up offense ... and then this happened. The Tigers (8-1, 4-1) won 35-17.
• Even with star linebacker Chris Borland sidelined with a hamstring injury, Wisconsin's defense was dominant in a 28-9 win over Iowa (5-4, 2-3 Big Ten). The Badgers' sixth-ranked rushing defense held the Hawkeyes' normally productive rushing attack to just 110 yards on 31 attempts. Linebacker Marcus Trotter, filling in for Borland, recorded a game-high nine tackles, including a crucial fourth-and-1 stop of Iowa tailback Mark Weisman when Wisconsin led just 7-6 in the third quarter.
• If it seems like Notre Dame manages to win a lot of close games -- many against opponents it should probably beat handily -- well, that's because it does. On Saturday, Navy (4-4) led the Irish 34-31 until late in the fourth quarter. Notre Dame went ahead on a Tarean Folston touchdown run with 3:47 remaining, and then stud freshman linebacker Jaylon Smith helped stuff the Midshipmen's nifty fourth-down end around. In pulling out the 38-34 victory, the Irish won their 10th straight game decided by seven points or fewer dating back to last season, including five this year.
• It was easy to scoff when, after a Sept. 14 loss to Ole Miss dropped his team to 1-2, Texas coach Mack Brown declared: "We can get all this righted by winning the Big 12." Well, it's now November, and the Longhorns (6-2, 5-0 Big 12) remain undefeated in conference play. They sit alone in first place by half a game. Texas dispatched Kansas 35-13 over the weekend and will visit West Virginia on Saturday before ending with a gauntlet of ranked foes: Oklahoma State (Nov. 16), Texas Tech (Nov. 28) and Baylor (Dec. 7).
• TCU, on the other hand, continues to struggle in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs (3-6, 1-5) erased a 27-17 fourth-quarter deficit to force Saturday's game against West Virginia (4-5, 2-4) into overtime, but a series of miscues resulted in an unsuccessful 62-yard field goal attempt. The Mountaineers won 30-27, leaving Gary Patterson's team -- which went 23-0 its last three years in the Mountain West -- with a 5-10 league record since joining the conference before last season.
• In its first game since last week's shocking resignations of head coach Carl Pelini and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis, Florida Atlantic (3-6, 2-4 C-USA) upset Tulane 34-17. A day earlier, media reports revealed two individuals signed affidavits saying they had witnessed Pelini use cocaine and marijuana. Offensive coordinator Brian Wright served as the interim coach. "Sometimes you need a slap in the face to refocus," said defensive end and co-captain Andrew Stryffeler.
• Your once-upon-a-time-weekly Johnny Manziel update: Texas A&M's reigning Heisman winner accounted for six touchdowns (four passing, two rushing) in a 57-7 rout of UTEP.
• With last Thursday's 28-16 win over Rice, North Texas (6-3, 4-1 C-USA) became bowl eligible for the first time since 2004. Coach Dan McCarney, in his third season with the Mean Green, has still got it.
• Dennis Franchione has Texas State (6-3, 2-2 Sun Belt) bowl eligible in just its second FBS season. Meanwhile, Larry Coker and UTSA have a winning C-USA record (3-2) in their first year in the conference.
• Navy will retain the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for a third consecutive season following Air Force's (2-7) 42-28 win over Army (3-6).
• Illinois (3-5) managed to take Penn State (5-3) to overtime before falling 24-17, marking the Illini's 18th straight Big Ten loss. They last won a league game on Oct. 8, 2011.
• Southern Miss' (0-8) losing streak reached 20 games with a 61-13 loss to Marshall (5-3). The Golden Eagles last won a football game in the 2011 Hawaii Bowl.
• On a more uplifting note, Grambling State (1-9) earned its first win of the season with a 47-40 victory over Mississippi Valley State (1-8).
Smaller story, but I'm sure you're following it
Division III Gallaudet University, the nation's premier college for the deaf and hard of hearing, can't rely on Rivals.com or Scout.com to identify its football recruiting targets. "If a kid who's deaf or hard of hearing is a good football player, someone's going to write a feel-good story," said Gallaudet coach Chuck Goldstein. "We have a Google News alert set up. Any time, 'deaf, hard of hearing and football' pops up, we email the coach and I come out and visit."
Goldstein, the Bison's fourth-year head coach, has landed some pretty good players. His Washington, D.C.-based team is off to its first 8-0 start in school history. With a win this week over Anna Maria College from Paxton, Mass., Gallaudet would wrap up its first Eastern Collegiate Football Conference title and, in turn, its first-ever berth in the D-III NCAA tournament.
But first, the Bison had to beat Becker College from Worcester, Mass., which it did on Saturday with a play so remarkable it made the SportsCenter Top 10. With the game tied 34-34 and just two seconds remaining, Becker attempted a game-winning 31-yard field goal. Gallaudet freshman Chris Papacek blocked the kick, and senior running back Ryan Bonheyo returned the ball 79 yards to the end zone for the winning touchdown.
"It's one of those games where you're sitting there at the end going, did that just happen?" Goldstein said on Sunday. "... It's been an inspiring year, and it almost feels like destiny at this point."
Gallaudet, which has played football since 1883 and invented the huddle in 1890, faces a myriad of unique challenges. In fact, football was dropped to a club sport before it returned to the Division III ranks in 2007. The Bison currently field a roster of only 54 players, compared with 80-plus for many of their opponents. All are deaf or hard of hearing, so Goldstein and his assistants communicate entirely in American Sign Language, which Goldstein, a 2001 graduate of Salisbury (Md.) University, learned on the job.
"My first team meeting as an offensive coordinator [in 2009], I practiced with my GA 30 times," said Goldstein, who installed the triple option. He was less prepared when, in his first game, the Bison fumbled three times in the first half. He wanted to express his anger, so he threw a chair when he entered the locker room. Unfortunately, the players were turned the other way. "Only three kids turned around," he said.
He's much more adept now, and his 54 players are on the verge of accomplishing something that will resonate not only at Gallaudet, but also nationally and beyond. "We represent not just Gallaudet and football, but we represent every deaf person in the world," said Goldstein. "It's a special season, no doubt."
Nebraska: 'Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!'
For jubilant Nebraska fans, here's how Kellogg-to-Westerkamp sounded on the Huskers' radio broadcast.
Northwestern: 'A Hail Mary that came through!'
For sulking Northwestern fans, here's a friendly reminder that once upon a time (in 2000) these things went the Wildcats' way.
Looking ahead
Mini-previews for three of Week 11's big games:
• Oregon at Stanford, Thursday (9 p.m. ET): The last time Oregon came to Stanford Stadium in 2011, it put up 53 points and handed Andrew Luck his first home loss in two years. The Cardinal defense is more talented across the board these days, but current quarterback Kevin Hogan, while improved, is still a far cry from Luck.
• Oklahoma at Baylor, Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET): How big of a deal is this game in Waco? Baylor has lifted the tarp off the south end zone seating of Floyd Casey Stadium for the first time since 2006. The Bears ended the Sooners' national title aspirations with a 45-38 home victory in 2011. Oklahoma will look to return the favor on Thursday.
• LSU at Alabama, Saturday (8 p.m. ET): 'Bama quarterback AJ McCarron has completed 69.4 percent of his passes with 18 touchdowns and just three interceptions. He's barely entered the Heisman conversation to this point, but that could change with a big game on Saturday. Zach Mettenberger may make himself some NFL dollars if he does the same.
