Badgers Roundtable: Nebraska
Tim Shovers, ESPN 980, Washington D.C.: "The Badgers offense against a respected defense. Many largely discounted the Wisconsin September output due to the level of their competition, but last night it was done against a D with some perceived clout. To score seven touchdowns against a top ten team is close to mind blowing. Nebraska could very well have the best front seen UW will face this conference season and Russell Wilson and Co. passed the test with flying colors."
John Veldhuis, Bucky's 5th Quarter: "I was impressed with the Badgers offense as well, but their defense made some good adjustments early in the second quarter. In the second quarter, it became obvious Taylor Martinez had trouble on long downs, and they really took advantage by stopping the Huskers on first down and forcing them to throw. Three interceptions later, the Badgers had all the momentum and didn't look back."
Dave Heller :"The defense buckled down after the first quarter, keeping Martinez in the pocket and making him throw, plus not really allowing any big runs - Nebraska's longest rush was 12 yards and the Huskers averaged 3.7 per carry. Martinez's longest run was 11 yards and came on the drive which gave Nebraska a 14-7 lead. At that point, it was anyone's game. By the end of the second quarter, UW was up by 13 and it didn't feel like the Huskers had a chance."
Jim Rutledge, FM 100.5 ESPN, Madison: "Russell Wilson went right. He made the offense spectacular and helped the defense too. If you look back at the game the Badgers were down in the first half when Taylor Martinez was playing well but as soon as he started giving the ball away to Badger defenders the games momentum swung. I can't remember seeing a opposing quarterback give a way a game like Martinez did. Martinez crushed his teams momentum and morale meanwhile Wilson lifted a quiet crowd, a sluggish defense and his offense to manic levels with his play. The Badgers were and are better than Nebraska but this game would have been closer to the ten point spread if the quarterbacks didn't play on completely different levels."
Tom Lea, BadgerBlitz.com: "The finishing ability of Montee Ball. He finished runs and accrued extra yardage nearly every time he ran the ball. The way he pounded Nebraska defenders was encouraging simply because he continually picked up extra yardage. He also finished drives with four touchdowns, including a couple of pretty spectacular runs where he overcame plenty of contact only to prove his strength is still fully in tact. Russell Wilson was also great for UW. He jump-started the Badger offense early. Ball maintained the pace."
Anshu Khanna, NFLDraftBlitz.com: "In beating Nebraska so decisively, the Badgers officially arrived as a legitimate championship contender. Sure, the players were nothing short of superb, but the coaching staff deserves a great deal of credit, both from a recruiting and a game-planning perspective. Nebraska's blue-chip NFL-caliber athletes on both sides of the ball have received much publicity, but Wisconsin showed how level the playing field truly is between the two programs. Russell Wilson is the type of player the Badger faithful should come to expect going forward. Success at the college football level is cyclical - wins like this one attract talent like Wilson, and help breed the type of national recognition required to be a true contender in the BCS era. And when the coaching on both sides of the ball squeezes the most out of its talented recruits, you have the makings of a championship season."
Shovers: "You're asking me to answer what went wrong when beating the No. 8 team in the country by 31 points? Not a whole lot, but what stands out to me is the Jared Abbrederis fumble in the first quarter. It gave Nebraska the edge in the game until the Mike Taylor interception. Giving potent offenses second chances with good field possession always hurts and if Abby does this in one of the road games it could pose a bit of a problem. He did bounce back and make crucial plays all over the field, showing that he responded well to it."
Veldhuis: "The only real complaint you could have with yesterday's game was on special teams. It was nice for the Badgers to have Philip Welch back to kick extra points, and they're lucky he wasn't needed for any field goals, but he needs to start kickoffs again. Alec Lerner has gotten some good experience for next year, but the Badgers need Welch's leg to force some touchbacks. Luckily, the bye week gives him some time to keep strengthening his leg, so he could be back to full strength against Indiana."
Heller: "No touchbacks and UW allowed 24 yards per return (although Ameer Adbullah entered averaging over 40 per return). You can't keep giving opponents good field position."
Rutledge: "Montee Ball's reaction to a Nebraska defender hanging on him after scoring a first half touchdown. You are playing with fire when you are swiping or swinging at an opposing player. The official would have been within his rights to apply a 15-yard penalty. I don't know what was said and I know Ball had to have been annoyed by the Nebraska player hanging on him but it was out of character for him and you don't want to see a Wisconsin player lose their cool, even for a second. Please note that I think Ball is a great guy and I was very surprised to see it happen but it was my biggest concern in a blowout."
Lea: "I think Dave Heller nailed it. It obviously didn't matter last night simply because Martinez was completely inept, but shoddy special teams play does and will cost a really good - if not great - team a win at some point. Look at Michigan State a season ago. For whatever reason Lerner is not getting great depth on his kickoffs and he's certainly not booming them like he was in fall camp. There will be a couple of games in tough venues when a kickoff could spring momentum against UW. The early warning signs are there."
Khanna: "Not much to complain about from Nebraska, but as you begin to think big with this Badgers team, you can't help but wonder about how a better passer would fare against this defense. Kirk Cousins will provide in excellent test in three weeks, but otherwise, from a macro perspective, the Badger defense will not truly have been tested before the 'postseason.' A team with more than one dimension could give the Devin Smith-less secondary fits."
Shovers: "Russell Wilson, Heisman Candidate 2011. He delivered in a big time game with all of the nation watching both on the ground and in the air. In fact, he looked the same against Nebraska as he did against a UNLV or South Dakota. His TD pass to Nick Toon at the end of the first half was his best thrown pass of the season. Offensive coordinator Paul Chryst seemed to open up the playbook a little for him and it will be interesting to see what else is in store from Wilson."
Veldhuis: "I'm very tempted to go with Wilson, who in my mind is a frontrunner for the Heisman right now. But I'm going with Montee Ball. The Huskers tried to shut down the Badger running game with their intimidating front seven, but the coaches kept giving Ball the rock. Thirty carries, 151 yards, and four touchdowns later, and the Badgers were able to keep the offense balanced and eat up a lot of time on the game clock. Wilson was the flashiest yesterday, but Ball did the yeoman's work."
Rutledge: "I agree it's Wilson for the game but I still think Andrew Luck (Stanford) is the best player and quarterback in the country. I think Wilson along with Kellen Moore (Boise State) and Robert Griffin III (Baylor) all still have plenty of time to overtake Luck but I think the Heisman is Luck's to lose and so far he hasn't lost it."
Lea: "It's not just Wilson's ability to pinpoint his passes or run for a number of yards on occasion that make him great. It's also his calm demeanor, his leadership skills and his savvy in the pocket. The way he led that nine-play, 91-yard touchdown drive after Nebraska's initial score was a thing of beauty. UW had finally faced some adversity and it didn't phase him. As long as Wilson stays healthy the Badgers will always have a chance to win games."
Khanna: "Wilson is the definition of what voters look for in a Heisman candidate ('Most Outstanding Player'), and he makes the Badgers special, which is what really distinguishes him from Griffin, Denard Robinson, and several others. I don't think this performance was his 'Heisman Moment' per se, but it will certainly go a long way when the voters look back on seminal games from this season. As for Saturday night in particular, if you take Ball out of the equation, the Badgers still win this game going away; if you were to replace Wilson with a replacement-level Badger quarterback of the past, I have serious doubts they could have pulled it out."
Heller: "Just because no one mentioned him - Mike Taylor. He had 14 tackles and an interception that coaches and players from both sides said was a momentum changer."
Shovers: "The bye week comes at a decent time for the team this season as this week the team can sort of allow itself to get all the praise for the impressive win before getting back to business next week. Indiana so far has looked one step above awful and this year's game will be similar to last year's semi-controversial rout. The Hoosiers won't be sending any thank you notes to Jim Delany for sending them to Madison two years straight."
Veldhuis: "I agree, the bye week is coming at a good time for where they are in the season. An extra week should help with those nagging injuries that have accumulated so far. As far as Indiana goes, I definitely won't expect many fans to make the trip. This is a team that lost to North Texas, and the Badgers are shaping up to be better than they were last year when they hung 83 points on the Hoosiers. I expect Joe Brennan to get some more playing time in the Badgers' next game."
Heller: "Coaches will always say bye weeks come at a good time. But face it, any week is a good week to get healthy. UW would probably have been better served to be off the week before Michigan State, although Indiana doesn't seem to pose much of a threat. I don't see UW scoring 83 again, but I also don't see the Badgers losing. Another blowout before two tough road games."
Rutledge: "The bye week after Nebraska is at a great time for UW because even though they won with ease on Saturday they are beaten up today. Nebraska is hands down the most physical team the Badgers had played and it's good for them to get a little extra time to be fresh. I also think it's good that Wisconsin can get back into football flow home against IU and not on the road at Michigan State. I don't see a blowout of last year's proportion against Indiana but the Hoosiers won't be happy leaving Camp Randall."
Lea: "Think of all the media attention and media hype the Badgers and their game with Nebraska received last week. Think about how physical that game was last night. Think about the emotional high that comes from such a dominating performance and the eventual come down that comes after it. Yes, the bye week comes at a great time physically. I think it really also comes at a great time mentally. This week will give the team a chance to lay low and unwind before they have to stare the final seven weeks of the season in the face."
Khanna: "You all nailed it; this team needs a week to get off the high they are certain to feel after this performance. The national media is fawning over Wilson and the Badgers; a weekend away from the spotlight will do wonders for Bielema's ability to keep his players focused. The Indiana matchup is a nice opportunity to take care of a motivated conference opponent with the bulls-eye on their backs before the Badgers seek vengeance in East Lansing. They should have no problem getting up for, and taking down, Indiana in dominant fashion."
Heller: "Just to get the last word in - my point was they could beat Indiana physically and mentally tired. I'd rather have the bye be after that game, but it is what it is and every team can use a week to refresh and get healthy."

In the wake of the all party meet the TDP is going to be victimized. As the TDP has submitted a letter to the Union Government in favour of the bifurcation of state, it has to spell out its suggestion for the same.
As the TDP is now demanding for an equal justice to the both parts of the people. It is not in a position to take its letter back, so that it would loose its reputation or trust among the Telangana people. Hence it would not do the same. Hence it is took up the argument of equal justice.
Now in the form of the all party meet, the Union Government gave a platform for the TDP to explain what are the directive principles for the equal justice. If the TDP explains how the equal justice could be made by going to that platform, it clearly indicates that, it stands for the cause of bifurcation. Then it surely affects the party in Seemandhra. If it does not approach the plat form, then the people of Telangana surely think that, though it gave the letter, now it is going back on Telangana issue. This also adversely affect the party.
Even now the Congress leaders criticize the Telugu Desam that though it is time and again making so many arguments about the equal justice, when real opportunity is provided to it, it is not coming forward, how the equal justice could be achieved. Even the incharge of Congress party affairs is doing the same. He criticized the Telugu desam president Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu that he is a man with dual personality and not coming forward to make his view clear and not helping the telugu people in either parts of the state. This way the political rivalry between both the congress and Telugu Desam parties is surfacing and the statement made by Chandra babu Naidu that the decision of bifurcation is to finish The TDP might be a truth also.
What a pity for a great leader who once considered to be a pivot of the National politics and a person who attracted the attention of international leaders like Clinton and others. – See more at: http://www.gulte.com/news/22379/What-CBN-told-now-is-a-Truth-#sthash.tKfzPccB.dpuf

No, he doesn't.
And if you think something Suggs said is fueling Tebow's fire enough such that he'd have lost to the Steelers if Suggs had said nothing, you're gravely mistaken.
Tebow was planning on playing like garbage again, until he watched First Take. "Wait, Terrell Suggs doesn't think I'm good? Well I guess I should probably play well this week!"
Tebow, man he scares me. Just saying.
Anyone but Tebow Sizzle.
Maybe if Bayless would ease up on Flacco maybe T-Sizzle will ease up on Tebow:
"So if Terrell Suggs says HE could play QB better than Tebow, HE could've thrown for 316 and OT TD vs. Steeler D? Flacco couldn't, TSizzle." - Skip Bayless Twitter
Also First take pretty much talked about it the whole 2 hours.. I mean how many tim tebow topics can you come up with? lol.
As I was watching the Bears/Broncos highlights, I jokingly promised that if Denver won I would proclaim Tebow as the greatest QB of all time. I don't go back on my promises so, Tebow is the greatest QB of all time!
In the Joe vs. Matty thread, a lot of people were arguing that Joe's the better QB because of his play-off record. Well now Tebow owns a better play-off record than Matty Ice (which admittedly isn' hard since all of us technically have a better play-off record than Matty Ice) and he's done the one thing Joe hasn't. Beaten the Squeelers in the play-offs. However Tebow is doing it, the kid wins.
Do I think Tebow is going to own all of Farve's records in 15 years? Will he ever break Brady's TDs in a season record? No. I just think the Broncos have a QB they can win with and that's the goal of every NFL team. I don't believe Suggs said what he did with the intention of berating Tebow. Bayless, as everyone here knows, praises Tebow all the time while bashing Flacco. Suggs simply won the war of words with a loudmouth sports caster.

Letter of the month:
No smoke without ire
Any chance of an article that names and shames sportsmen/women who have been spotted eating full-fat mayo, or more than their recommended daily amount of cheesecake (Burning Desire - Sports Stars Who Smoke, August)? Sprinters who have been caught mowing the lawn without using power breakers?
I couldn't care less if Waaaaayne Rooney had 5,000 fags in a day. The only thing that pisses me off is that Rooney can afford to have a smoke and a kebab, while Andriy Voronin, Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel are absolute dog toss but they train properly and look after themselves. No justice.
Flexkavana, via theguardian.com
Tom Lamont omitted the one sport where frenetic physical activity can be pleasingly alternated with an officially sanctioned break - tennis. How better to draw on this 'pyschomotive stimulant' - the sport's etiquette even obligingly provides for a chair, the better to enjoy a crafty Rothmans. Has this innocent addiction ever been indulged on court during a tournament? And, if on SW19's lawns, is Dan Maskell's reaction recorded?
Paul Davies, via email
Only four years to go...
If you failed to get excited about the 2012 Olympics after Tim Adams's interview with Sebastian Coe (Ready, Steady, Coe, August) then you may as well crack open the Fanta, open a bumper bag of cheese Doritos and watch a marathon session of Big Brother . Not since I played tennis in 1979 and believed I was Bjorn Borg have I got so excited about a sporting event.
R Sexton, Southsea
Hungarian rhapsody
I was very pleased about the article on 'Otto the Strange' (OSM 101). It is really touching when people dedicate their lives to sport, even among the harshest conditions, and consider sport as philosophy not just physical performance. If we had a little more people of this kind that would be a monumental step in the life of humanity. Thank you for this writing!
Gergely Angyan, Hungary
The face doesn't fit
I was distressed to see a man appearing on the BBC purporting to be Jonathan Agnew. Radio 5 Live's cricket correspondent, does not, of course, have a face and if he did it would certainly not be that of an old person. I would prefer my favourite radio voices to remain unseen in the future.

Life Without Intourist
By ALLEN R. MYERSON;
Published: October 6, 1991
I knew that a trip to Moscow and Leningrad promised no luxury. I was ready for mass-produced meals drowned in gelatinous gravy, and gloomy hotels patrolled by personnel as friendly as wardens at the state pen. What I could not take was the price in the Intourist brochure: an off-season minimum of $1,375, or $2,179 with the flight from New York, for an advertised 10-day tour of Moscow and Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, that amounted to only eight nights in the Soviet Union.
And so, last fall, I decided to test the Soviet Union's new openness by trying to circumvent Intourist.
True, many guidebooks and articles warned that Intourist was the only way to go. I feared that any effort to beat the Soviet system might tempt the system to strike back.
Some foreign guidebooks mentioned that tours could be less expensive through Britain than the United States. With a few letters, telexes and phone calls, I discovered British agencies that offer inexpensive tours through Intourbureau, the Soviet Central Council of Tourism and Excursions. Set up to handle trade union exchange programs, it has tiptoed onto Intourist's turf in the past few years by taking paying customers -- an estimated 200,000 a year -- at hotels it operates in at least 25 Soviet cities.
The greatest difference between bourgeois and proletarian travel appeared to be price. I sacrificed little else by going with the Central Council instead of Intourist. For an eight-night Central Council trip from Sept. 29 to Oct. 7, Goodwill Holidays, which sells the organization's programs, asked $:425 from London, or $:260 for land costs alone. The exchange rate had turned sharply unfavorable, almost $2 to the pound, but the land cost was still just $1,038 for both my wife and me -- less than half the Intourist rate.
The other attraction was a chance to do more than see the sights. The Goodwill brochure was titled "Meet the Russians." It said the agency was founded by Quakers wanting to pursue "people's detente." Like many Goodwill tours, ours was organized around a special interest or group: we were offered the opportunity to join about 30 students from Notre Dame University who had been studying in London. Rather than meeting the group in London, we checked the travel advertisements and found $650 round-trip tickets on Yugoslav Airlines to Moscow, plus $30 on Aeroflot from Moscow to Leningrad, where the tour began. There was a change of planes in Belgrade, then a second red-eye flight dumping us in Moscow at 4 A.M. For us, the switch was an advantage, since we planned to visit Eastern Europe and return from Belgrade on the connecting flight.
Then the problems began. Two weeks before departure, Goodwill called to say the flight from London to Leningrad had been canceled, so the group would leave the day after. I had to change my return flight anyway since I planned to go from Eastern Europe back to Moscow; the change penalty was only $100.
Our Belgrade layover included a hotel nap and dinner at no extra cost. We returned to the airport an hour before the daily 11 P.M. flight. Bad news: The flight was bumped to 10:30 P.M., it was already filled, and we were bumped off. We came back the next night almost three hours early.
In Moscow, we were left with Leningrad tickets dated the day before, and the knowledge that Aeroflot, the Soviet airline, was invariably overbooked. We felt like stranded orphans. This was no time, we decided, to remain aloof from Intourist. In need of a foster parent, we asked an English-speaking Intourist guide for aid in getting on the Leningrad plane with her group.
The guide agreed to help. Later, we cautiously asked her about Intourbureau. "The Intourist hotels are much better," she sniffed, saying our hotel would be jammed with Russian tourists all crowding into our shared bathroom.
Our flight to Leningrad, scheduled for 7:35 A.M., left four hours late. We hitched a ride on the Intourist bus, then took a cab to our hotel, the Gavan, an Intourbureau property about five miles from downtown.
We were not impressed. The dreary lobby was roiling in cigarette smoke and sharp Slavic accents. The reception desk wanted us to wait. And wait. Fortunately, we spotted a group whose Reeboks and camping parkas were patently American. It turned out to be our group, which had arrived the day before, and our Intourbureau guide, Valera Bason, known as Val, persuaded the desk to let us into our room.
The room looked like it had been fixed up as well as possible after a brawl or two. It was clean, but narrow, with two tight single beds, end to end, along one wall, blistered wallpaper, a black-and-white television -- and our own bathroom, no matter what the Intourist guide said.
Val planned a trip to a history museum. Having missed the city tour that morning, we decided to do it ourselves. Val gave us a disapproving glare. "Thomas, I'm not responsible for these people," he loudly warned the professor who led the group.
We returned in time for a supper little different from any others we had in Leningrad or Moscow: meat, probably beef, slathered in gravy, with boiled potatoes and a vegetable puree. We usually had soups and salads for appetizers, with cabbage prominent in both. The filling offerings at breakfast included yogurt, cheese, creamy Russian farina and sausages similar to hot dogs. The meals were never unpalatable, and there was always some hearty, brown Russian bread, but everything was so bland that it seemed to fade into the plates.

FASHION; Views, Spare to Frilly
By WOODY HOCHSWENDER
Published: November 4, 1989
Spare and bare, the ''tribute'' collection for Giorgio di Sant'Angelo, shown in New York Thursday, managed to capture the spirit of the late designer's look while continuing a trend toward simplification in his final collection.
Enshrining the body in gauze and stretch fabrics, a design team headed by Martin Price showed a spring line that was sexy and transparent but dropped some of the art touches from previous collections. It was dressy dressing without glitz.
Many of the looks were derived from a simple stretch tube or unitard, which, wrapped in gauze, yielded sensual combinations. Maillots with wrap skirts or crisscrosses of gauze at the shoulders made evening dresses to swim in. A column dress with petal collar could be converted to off-the-shoulder with a flip of the wrist. Sari Prints and Organza
Hand-painted sari prints wrapped like pareus around the hips, and big transparent organza coats went over tight little bodysuits.
''It was gorgeous,'' said Selma Weiser, the founder of the Charivari stores. ''Pure body, form and shape. It's sad he's not here to enjoy it.''
It was an important first step toward continuing the business after the death of Mr. Sant'Angelo on Aug. 29.
A Betsey Johnson fashion show is equal parts fashion and show. At the Parsons School of Design on Thursday, she had plenty of both, revealing her facetious version of ''life style dressing,'' the marketing concept of the moment that involves clothes for every aspect of a woman's life, taking her from morning to evening.
It began in Betsey's Boudoir, where a brass bed draped in lace was set up on stage. As models in frilly bloomers and lace-trimmed stockings woke up and stumbled around, Ms. Johnson, on stage herself, trussed them up in black corsets and other Victorian foundation garments. ''Un bel di'' from ''Madama Butterfly'' played on the sound system. Ms. Johnson, who seems to share Jean-Paul Gaultier's obsession with undergarments and things that tie, paused now and then to read a copy of The Wall Street Journal.
The models dusted and cleaned in crepe de chine; groomed themselves in positive-negative print skirts and tights, and had play time in bodysuits with photo-rose patterns like an Andy Warhol print. Tea time brought doll-style puffed skirts with petticoats; for cocktails it was apple-green floral prints on white.
All very Victorian and lacy, but hardly conventional. Ms. Johnson, who at one point held a copy of Betty Crocker as the models came out with muffins, has a very special, twisted vision of femininity, at once frilly and hard-eged.
At Patricia Clyne's informal fashion show, held Thursday in her showroom just off Seventh Avenue, it was difficult to tell the live models from the mannequins. She used both to exhibit her spring styles as if they were in a store window. There were snappy tank dresses in cabana stripes and color-blocked linen jackets.
Ms. Clyne brought velour back with a vengeance, using it in zippered dresses, jackets and bodysuits. There were many pretty jackets, including a Mao jacket in white with a contrasting tan collar. Her mega-dot trousers take polka dots to another dimension.

Spot duty for Sebastian Vollmer
Credit: Matt Stone
FOXBORO - Making the commitment to come to Gillette Stadium nearly every day during the offseason, eschewing vacation and personal time, Sebastian Vollmer did what he felt was necessary to prepare for the 2010 season.
"It was something I wanted to do, needed to do and it was somewhat easy," Vollmer said yesterday. "Just a mindset I had."
The second-year starting right tackle's performance in the offseason program earned him a coveted reserved, front row parking spot, and he wasn't alone. Nine other players earned the honor made famous by a former regular winner, Tom Brady.
Along with Vollmer, offensive linemen George Bussey and Dan Connolly, receivers Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater, running back Kevin Faulk, linebacker Jerod Mayo, safety James Sanders, cornerback Jonathan Wilhite and defensive lineman Mike Wright all earned stellar parking spots.
Winners are allowed to choose the pre-practice music.
As for camp in general, Vollmer drew a stark contrast to his rookie season.
"I didn't know what was going on, because I'd never been through NFL training camp," he said. "It's the second year, trying to get better."
Returns are in
If special teams coach Scott O'Brien could improve one unit, it would be kickoff return - even if he wants to improve them all.
The Patriots were ranked 15th with 22.7 yards per attempt last season, with no touchdowns and just one gain of 40-plus yards.
While speedy returners such as Brandon Tate help, O'Brien wants a collective effort.
"All the returners in this league, they're good," O'Brien said. "They're only as good as those other 10 guys. Are there exceptions to the rule? Sure. There are explosive guys, you've got the playmakers, but that's what you're looking for - that guy that not only has the physical skills, the body control, the instincts of setting up blocks, and the speed to make explosive plays, but it's the other guys that are giving them the opportunity to get started. There's a combination."
Special teams captain Sam Aiken didn't hesitate when asked his goals.
"As a special team corps, being No. 1 in every area," he said. "Alignment and assignment. That's something we didn't do last year."
While Aiken spent last season as the all-important personal protector on punts, rising safety Patrick Chung has taken on the role during camp. Is that a sign Aiken's spot on the team may be in jeopardy with a logjam at receiver?
O'Brien said it's a case of making sure Chung is experienced at the spot, which Aiken already is.
"We're always trying to train - seriously - because I've been in games where there have been none and you're training them right there during the game," O'Brien said. "You never get enough. We're training as many guys as we can."
Birthday Brady
Brady celebrated his 33rd birthday yesterday with his family in town, but there was no smushed cake on the face like last season. Instead, it was a more low-key celebration, with the crowd serenading him and Wes Welker serving as the conductor. . . .
With guard Logan Mankins' sit-out reaching Day 7 and fill-in Nick Kaczur suffering an injury, the Patriots offensive line has been jumbled. The search for continuity is always difficult during the preseason.
"That's what camp is for," center Dan Koppen said. "Rotating guys in. You've got to get comfortable with different guys, get different guys reps. It's a great time to get your footwork down, work on your hands, your hat position."
Working it out
The Patriots worked out three free agent offensive linemen: center Eric Ghiaciuc, guard Darnell Stapleton and tackle Mark Ortmann. None were signed immediately. . . .
Ocean Spray spent the day filming a commercial inside Gillette Stadium, with fans packing into one section and simulating going nuts for the cameras. . . .
Though he took off Monday night, Welker returned to work out during both sessions yesterday. He finished the day by winning every sprint. . . .
The Pats held a walkthrough in the morning, and worked mostly on situations in the afternoon - two-minute, goal-line, time running out, etc. The offense struggled with execution before finishing with a Stephen Gostkowski field goal.

The Dual Role Of Testosterone In Schizophrenia
They have found that, on the one hand, testosterone could be the trigger for the onset of schizophrenia. On the other, increased testosterone levels are associated with increased cognitive abilities of men with schizophrenia.
According to NeuRA's Professor Cyndi Shannon Weickert: "This research has raised the question, is testosterone beneficial or is it harmful?"
Schizophrenia has a worldwide prevalence of about one percent, and usually develops around the time of puberty. It is also slightly more common in males than females.
In a study using laboratory rodents, the researchers found that testosterone increased the brain's sensitivity to a brain chemical involved in motivation and reward, dopamine.
"We've found that adolescent increases in circulating testosterone may be a driver of increased dopamine activity in the brains of individuals susceptible to psychosis and schizophrenia," says Dr Tertia Purves-Tyson, a Senior Research Officer at NeuRA.
Dr Purves-Tyson is chaired a symposium on "Testosterone as a trigger for Schizophrenia" at the International Congress on Schizophrenia Research.
In another study presented at the congress, Dr Tom Weickert, a Research Fellow at NeuRA found that increased levels of testosterone in men with schizophrenia predicted higher cognitive performance of verbal memory, working memory and processing speed.
"This is the first study to show that high normal levels of testosterone can be beneficial to cognitive abilities in men with schizophrenia. Conversely, low normal levels of testosterone were associated with poorer cognitive function in men with schizophrenia; whereas no such relationship was present in healthy men. This suggests that testosterone is influencing brain activity and cognitive abilities in men with schizophrenia very differently from healthy men and warrants further study to understand the relationship," said Dr Weickert.

Two 12-Year Old Girls Tried to Murder Their Friend and Blamed it On an Internet Meme
Two young girls in Wisconsin stabbed their friend 19 times, and told police that it was to honor the mythological internet creature The Slender Man.
The full story is here. TLDR spoke to Slender Man's creator, Eric Knudsen, a few months ago, if you want context on the story and mythology behind it all.
Honestly, it feels weird to post this. I'm worried that the implicit message is "In light of this recent tragedy, here's an old episode of ours to listen to." But it feels worthwhile insofar as it provides context for anyone coming freshly to this story. We're also trying to get ahold of Knudsen for comment. Obviously it's not his fault that disturbed people are alleging that his piece of art influenced them, but we'd just like to hear how he's grappling with this awful thing.

The Castle
Wednesday December 7
I guess I fell asleep in the boat because when I woke up this morning I wasn't in Rosing, I was in WaterVille. I just got into my robe and slippers and am sitting on the floor in the parlor, why the floor? Well, let me just say all the chairs and cushins are taken. Prince Joseph sits nest to me, reading this which I told him was private. He's rather annoying, you wouldn't think a Prince could or would be.
Joseph already took me on a tour of the whole castle. It's twice the size of ours back home. The rooms are decorated wonderfully and I'm beginning to feel comfortable here. It seems as if I belong with the royal's family.

New Zealand's booming thrillseeker tourism industry is to be targeted to weed out "cowboy" operators who are putting tourists' lives at risk.
A letter from a British man who lost his young daughter while river boarding - riding a body board on fast-flowing rapids - sparked a comprehensive inquiry into the state of the industry.
Emily Jordan, 21, drowned in Central Otago's Kawarau River in April last year after getting trapped between rocks.
The operator, Queenstown's Mad Dog River Boarding, was fined $NZ66,000 and ordered to pay $NZ80,000 in reparation to the Jordan family.
It wasn't the only recent death in the adventure sector, enjoyed by thousands of Australian tourists each year.
In March, 18-year-old New Zealander Catherine Peters fell to her death after doing a commercially-run bridge swing at Manawatu Gorge, in the lower North Island.
A wisely-worded letter from Ms Jordan's grieving father, Chris, has convinced New Zealand Prime Minister John Key that the sector needs to be urgently reviewed.
Mr Jordan said standards were not being monitored and that safety investigators only looked into problems after accidents.
Announcing the inquiry on Monday, Mr Key said he believed most in the sector operated well, but there were concerns that there were some cowboys and that safety standards were not being monitored.
"Tourism is critically important to New Zealand and we must do all we can to ensure visitor safety," Mr Key said.
The wide-ranging investigation will be led by Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson and will involve the Civil Aviation Authority, Maritime New Zealand, the Tourism Ministry and the Tourism Industry Association.
It will report on ways to improve risk management and safety.

2013 Ford Escape Titanium ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new, featuring fuel-efficient EcoBoost engines.
The 2013 Ford Escape is a total redesign that moves the top-selling compact SUV into the times, with high-tech small engines, a smooth 6-speed transmission, aerodynamic front styling, and electronic wizardry. Ford claims 11 features exclusive to the Escape in the compact SUV class, everything from a capless fuel nozzle to Torque Vectoring Control, which helps the Escape corner more securely.
Gas prices have fueled the compact SUV market (in Europe it's quadrupled in the last decade), so this is a class that's important to Ford's ongoing rebound, and they've pulled out all the stops to make the Escape good.
Fuel mileage varies from an EPA-estimated 23 City/33 Highway mpg with the 1.6-liter front-wheel drive Escape to 21/28 mpg with the 2.0-liter all-wheel drive. We drove both versions and fell below those marks, however, averaging 22.7 mpg in the 1.6-liter and 19.7 mpg in the 2.0-liter, while driving them spiritedly. That's still better than a comparably equipped Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4, and good enough that the Escape Hybrid has been abandoned.
The 2013 Escape lineup features three engines, including the returning tried-and-true 2.5-liter, less powerful and efficient but with a lower MSRP than the new EcoBoost engines. The four-cylinder EcoBoosts make their North American debut in the Escape, although they've been running in Europe for three years. There's a 1.6-liter making 178 horsepower and 2.0-liter making 240 hp, both twin-turbos with direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), although having different designs.
This review is a Tale of Two Escapes, because we found the 1.6-liter FWD to feel completely different from the 2.0-liter AWD. The 1.6 is quick, lively and visceral, a blast to drive. The 2.0-liter AWD feels more grownup, civilized, solid, heavy. If you want a four-cylinder compact SUV that feels like a midsize V6, the Escape is for you.
Creature comfort is impeccable, even with the standard fabric upholstery, rugged and handsome. The chassis is 40 percent stiffer, and the ride is smooth. The interior materials are soft, and the plastic high quality. Rear legroom is decent, at 36.8 inches, and rear climate control is standard in all but the base S model. There's excellent cargo space, 68.1 cubic feet behind the first row and 34.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and the standard 60/40 rear seat folds flat wonderfully fast, with one lever.
The nose of the new 2013 Escape is distinctive, sort of aero stubby, with the blue oval emblem in its wide narrow grille to say it's a Ford. Although the Escape emulates its big brother the Explorer SUV, its new nose more resembles its little brother the Focus hatchback. The hood has nice character lines, and the headlights sweep sharply back and up into muscular wheelwells.
One clever innovation that others are already copying is an available magic release for the liftgate. Kick your foot under the rear bumper, and presto, the liftgate pops open so you can drop your heavy things into the back without having to set them down. It's a feature we like, and would buy, although you can do the same with a remote keyfob that opens the liftgate, that is if you remember to carry it in your hand with your thumb over the button when you leave the grocery store with your arms full.
We'll save the worst for last, in this overview. MyFordTouch has been totally redesigned after its disastrous first generation in 2011, and you can now get the new program downloaded for free in your 2011-12 Ford, so definitely do that. The new version, as they say, is simpler and the screen is cleaner. And to be sure, we have, at times, gotten it to work for us. But it still ain't easy, and you need a real sense of humor to talk to Voice Command. It's kind of like talking to your teenagers, and getting them to do their chores.
Well, there is more in the good news department. Last but not least, the price for the Escape has actually come down. The base S model has dropped by $200, while Ford claims the SE has $1000 more content for only $200 more, and the SEL has $2300 more content for $1500 more.
The 2013 Escape comes in four models, S, SE, SEL, Titanium, with three DOHC four-cylinder engines and one 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift manual operation.
Escape S ($23,295) is front-wheel drive, using Ford's trusty 2.5-liter engine making 168 horsepower. Standard equipment includes cloth upholstery, manual climate control, manual front seat adjustment, full power, keyless entry, cruise control, 60/40 fold-flat rear seats, 6-speaker single-CD sound system with MP3 capability, info display, tilt/telescope steering wheel, Halogen headlamps, black grille and door handles, and 17-inch steel wheels.
Escape SE ($25,895) uses the 1.6-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost engine making 178 horsepower, and comes either with front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It adds body-color door handles and mirrors, chrome bar grille, Ford SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system, satellite radio, auto headlamps, keyless entry, 4-inch color screen, privacy glass, reclining rear seats, audio controls on steering wheel, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Escape SEL ($28,695) adds leather upholstery, 9-speaker audio system, chrome body trim, gloss black interior trim, leather shift knob, heated mirrors, puddle lamps, MyFordTouch, 10-way power driver's seat, heated front seats, and 18-inch painted alloy wheels.
Escape Titanium ($31,195) comes with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine making 240 horsepower, in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It adds ambient lighting, remote start, premium leather, HID headlamps, power liftgate, silver roofrails, backup sensor, upgraded Sony sound system with HD radio, and 19-inch painted alloy wheels.
Standard safety equipment includes AdvanceTrac traction and stability control with roll stability control, Curve Control, Torque Vectoring Control, two-stage frontal airbags, driver knee airbag, side airbags, ABS with Brake Assist, tire pressure monitor.
There's no mistaking that the 2013 Escape is a new car, and it's got the blue oval in its wide narrow grille to say it's a Ford. Its nose is more like little sister Focus, rather than big brother Explorer. Aero and almost stubby, looking like it's meant for the business of efficient hauling. Character lines on the hood suggesting a cowl. The headlights are sharply angled under sheetmetal speed lines like eyebrows, and sweep back and up into the muscular wheelwells.
The bottom two-thirds of the face is a gaping black mouth in split fascia. It conceals a Ford innovation, sensor-controlled shutters behind the grille that regulate air into the engine for optimum efficiency and maximum fuel mileage.
The rear end doesn't keep up with the new slick front. It looks big and bulky for the size of the car, with lines going in three directions; it's as if the sheetmetal were shaped to match the taillights, including the indent for the license plate, like an upside-down triangle with the point at bottom chopped off. The standard dual exhaust is cool with the pipes back there, but the cladding in gray looks like a big silver lump hanging out the back.
But there's something hiding under that cladding that's great. It's an option that opens or closes the wide liftgate (low liftover height) with a small kick of your foot under the rear bumper, using a seeing-eye like the one that flushes toilets in public rest rooms (Ford press materials call it video-game technology). Hands-free technology where you need it most. With the Escape you'll never have to set down your armsful of groceries to put them in the back. It's a first we like, and would buy.
We also like that overall on the three models, there's lots of black eggcrate and not so much chrome. Don't like so much the gray or black plastic cladding that surrounds every model. The 19-inch alloy wheels try way too hard to look out there, while the steel 17s on the base SE are the least ugly.
The rugged fabric seats are the best! And since the available MyFordTouch remains problematic (we'll get to that), those excellent seats open the door to happy purchase of the S model. If you have good standard seats, you can live without options that just cost money and complicate operation of the car.
The driver's throne is good, with a high seating position, excellent visibility all around with that short hood, big back glass, and no over-the shoulder blind spots. Speaking of blind spots, the small convex mirrors in the upper corners of the sideview mirrors catch everything in the lanes at your rear quarter panels, more accurately than any electronic blind-spot warning system that constantly sends false alarms like they all do. But if your eyes just can't learn to read a convex mirror, the BLIS system is an option on the Escape, too. The best thing about it is that it includes Cross-Traffic Alert, which spots cars passing by your tailgate as you back out of a parking space.
The driver gets a nice dead pedal, comfortable armrests on both sides, and a good grab handle. Gauges are clean and attractive with pretty blue needles. Unlike the expensive Jaguar, Ford's rich former sibling, there are actual fuel and temperature gauges. There's a small rectangular window for information, scrolled through using arrows and a dial on the steering wheel, like all Fords, and like Jaguar, the shared switchgear remains.
The turn signal sound is a classy Jaguar-like dink dink dink. You can hear the soft sound because the Escape is exceptionally quiet. Great job, there.
A small shift lever is dropped down out of the way. There's a SelectShift button on the side of the lever, controlling manual operation of the automatic transmission. We've complained about this same button on the Mustang, only because paddles are needed on the Mustang for fast shifting; but on the Escape this thumb-button is just fine.
It's a good standard steering wheel, often a disappointment in base-level cars but not here. The four-spoke wheel is okay in base vinyl, with places for your whole palms at 2 and 10 o'clock, and the full array of controls. Overall, the interior materials are soft, and the plastic around the centerstack is high quality.
There's more cargo space in the rear, compared to the previous Escape, now totaling 68.1 cubic feet behind the first row and 34.3 cubic feet behind the second row. Legroom has stretched by 1.2 inches to 36.8, not a lot but maybe average for a compact SUV. Rear climate control is standard, except in the S. A center armrest with cupholders is available.
The best thing about the rear seats is how easily they fold flat, with one lever. Oh joy oh joy. There's an available two-position load floor, allowing a flat floor or maximum luggage volume.
It took a great deal of self-discipline to write our critique of MyFordTouch and voice command; we had to transcribe long rants from the tape recorder we use to make notes while we're driving. We'll try to keep the complaints brief.
MyFordTouch gives you 27 touch-screen buttons to choose from, when you're trying to adjust climate control, which is resistant to adjustment. From the subliminal brain's standpoint, that's 27 decisions to make. We COULD NOT get it to maintain a comfortable temperature. Set at auto 71 degrees, it blew cold air with too much fan. We increased the setting to 74, and the temp remained the same, but the fan got stronger. We tried and tried, different ways, but it would not cooperate. All those buttons, each one requiring a decision and translation or interpretation. We gave up not knowing if the problem was with the setting or with the HVAC itself.
Next we wanted to tune the radio. At least there were only 18 touch-screen buttons to choose from. We tried many of them, to no avail, while we continued to be distracted from our driving. We noted with exasperation into the recorder, 'All I want to do is get something to appear on this screen that enables me to change the channel.'
OMG, there it was. We pressed an icon that looked like a terrier dog sitting there waiting for a milk bone. We had it. Because we had no idea how we got it, we lost it, and next time we wanted to change radio channels, it took us another 20 miles on the freeway.
Ford says these buttons are easy to press, but they aren't. The radio buttons are small enough that you have to really look, and use eye/hand coordination away from the highway; unlike with an old-school knob, there's no keeping your eyes on the road and grabbing the dial and turning it. With MyFordTouch (and all touch-screen systems like it, notoriously worse being Land Rover and Volvo), you have to look down and carefully aim your finger into a small little rectangle, and if the road is bumpy the car will bounce and your finger will quite possibly miss. Notice you don't see little buttons in race cars.
Of course, there are audio controls on the steering wheel, and we've found them to work better, once you figure them out. But we're talking about MyFordTouch here.
They say the screen is carefully designed. But 40 percent of the screen is taken up by black space, wasted. Two-thirds of the rest is taken up by nothing more than the logo for the radio station, then twice it says the name of the show. And then a word that says ALERT. Set alerts, refresh alerts, edit alerts, enable all alerts, who cares; we'll alert you when we want to be alerted. The back button is a tiny little button on the top of the screen. It should be on every page but it's not, so you can't keep going back and trying again to find something that works. It's a dumb design.
Soon the audio completely stopped working. While the screen indicated we were turned to the NASCAR station, we were getting static from FM-land. We pressed SIRIUS again and got FM again. Maybe it was the Cascade Mountains over our shoulder, who knows. And then the heat seemed to come on by itself.
We messed with it constantly, trying to get what we wanted during a day trip into the city, 50 miles each way. We gave Voice Command a shot.
'Air condition on,' we said, at 65 mph. Apparently it doesn't speak our language, only Ford's, because it replied, 'Please say a command.' It immediately referred us to an 800 number and a URL. Like we're supposed to write them down without crashing? But we cooperated, and tried again, saying, 'Temperature 69 degrees.' It responded by giving us a bunch of advice, and reminding us we could get the phone to work and other things we didn't write down. 'Please say a device,' it said.
We said … 'Climate?'
It said, 'A list of valid voice commands is now on the screen.' We took our eyes off the road and studied the list.
'Sixty-nine degrees,' we said, so clear and slow you could hear the condescension in our voice.
'Eighty-nine degrees is not a valid command,' it said.
We tried three more times, and got nothing but backtalk from our Ford. We asked in exasperation, 'What can we say?' and the screen responded with a list of all the nearby gas stations with their prices for fuel. Cool. Except what we wanted was to listen to the radio station of our choice at the temperature of our choice.
It may be that our description and experience here is all wrong, because we didn't operate it correctly. If so, that's the point. We have compared our experiences with MFT and Voice Command (not just Ford's, but all of 'em) with many others, and we are not alone.
The good news is that if you get the entry-level Escape S model, you won't get MyFordTouch, and you won't ever be verbally abused by Voice Command unless you ask for it. Or you can just avoid using Voice Command.
Driving Impression
The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers good power at high revs for those who like to wind it up, and decent torque for acceleration when you need it at any speed. With a balance shaft to offset vibration, it's smooth. It delivers 10 less horsepower than the 1.6-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost, 14 less foot-pounds of torque, and 2 less miles per gallon. The 2.5-liter engine is about keeping the purchase price down.
When we first drove a front-wheel-drive 1.6-liter EcoBoost, we were impressed by its quickness. With 178 horsepower this good, who needs 240? we asked aloud, thinking of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost we would drive next. The word that came to mind to describe the way the 1.6 gets around is scoots, and it scoots all the way up to redline.
The ride in the 1.6-liter front-wheel-drive model was smooth, while at the same time it felt like it wanted to dance. It darts but doesn't jerk, and you get used to it. There was a bouncy motion to the suspension, but it wasn't harsh or disturbing, unlike the back seat of the Explorer we rode in from the airport. It's very nimble, and we love how it handles on two-lanes.
That's probably Torque Vectoring Control at work, an impressive feature for a compact SUV. It uses the stability control module to monitor the dynamics 100 times per second; when the front inside wheel starts to slip in a corner, brake is applied to that wheel, balancing the grip with the left front wheel and reducing understeer.
Torque Vectoring works with standard Curve Control, which is like electronic stability control, only quicker; it senses when a vehicle is entering a curve too fast, and cuts power and/or applies braking to individual wheels to reduce speed by up to 10 mph in one second. Think freeway on-ramps or off-ramps, especially in the wet.
The brakes are quite aggressive, or rather we should say the sensors that control the brakes are aggressive, because the mechanical feel to the pedal is just right, nicely progressive. But as we dabbed the brakes before corners on the twisty road, it felt like they were surging and biting. Once we felt the stability control come on, and it actually made a tire chirp when it braked just one wheel.
In some challenging choppy switchbacks, the suspension did good job of smoothing it all out. We assume that Torque Vectoring Control was at work, but we didn't feel it.
The automatic 6-speed transmission kicks down into 5th on the freeway quite a bit, unnecessarily we think, but they all do that, even way powerful cars; the more gears there are, the more the transmission tries to get out of top gear. We tried to keep it in 6th by shifting to Sport/Manual mode, to no avail. We tested its tolerance by slowing down to 40 mph in 6th gear and flooring it; it downshifted to 4th gear, while indicating in the digital window that it was in 5th.
It makes us realize that Sport/Manual mode is a paradox. In a 'sport' mode, a driver would want the transmission to downshift aggressively; in a 'manual' mode, he or she would not.
Our run in the 1.6 included a lot of relaxed driving, so for much of the time our throttle foot was light, but we only averaged 22.7 miles per gallon. It's EPA-rated at 23 city/33 highway.
Our Escape 2.0-liter EcoBoost felt like a totally different car: heavier, more solid, less visceral. The handling is slower and suspension steadier than the 1.6, which most buyers will probably be more comfortable with. The 2.0 Escape feels substantial, for a compact SUV. However, we should point out that our 2.0 was all-wheel drive, and the 1.6 was front-wheel drive, and maybe that explains more about the feel of the car than the engine. Tires and wheels are different, also, with 17-inch wheels on the 1.6, 19-inch wheels on the 2.0.
The all-wheel-drive system is new, with sensors that analyze data from 25 signals, 20 times faster than the blink of an eye, and deliver torque to the wheels as needed, through a new torque converter and electromagnetic clutch.
The 2.0-liter is not just a bigger version of the 1.6. Although both are turbocharged, direct-injected, 16-valve, aluminum four-cylinders, they're from different engine families; the 1.6 is the older Sigma design, the 2.0 is Duratec. The 2.0 feels like a V6, compared to the 1.6. Using different turbochargers, the 1.6 has a steeper torque curve, further adding to its quickness and visceral feel. The 1.6 makes 184 pound-feet or torque at 2500 rpm, while the 2.0 makes 270 pound-feet at 3000. We can't say we felt that big difference, but you sure will if you tow anything. Properly equipped, the 2.0 Escape can tow 3500 pounds, which is a lot for a four-cylinder compact SUV.
Even having 62 more horsepower, 240 hp vs. 178 hp, the 2.0-liter Escape doesn't feel much faster in a straight line; and maybe ours wasn't, because of a taller rear axle ratio. The 1.6 FWD comes with a 3.21 final drive, the 2.0 AWD with a long-legged 3.07, which didn't help fuel mileage much; we got 19.7 mpg with the 2.0. It's EPA-rated at 21 City/28 Highway with all-wheel drive.
Transmissions are the same on the 1.6 and 2.0, but programmed differently, the 2.0 sportier. Like the Ford Taurus SHO (but not the Mustang), it has rev-matching downshifting, meaning you'll hear a little blip from the engine as it goes in gear smoothly, when you manually downshift it hard. And like the SHO, sometimes it upshifts curiously. Once, in Sport/Manual mode, with our foot on the floor and racing to redline, it upshifted on its own into 4th gear at about 4200 rpm, immediately after reaching redline no problem in 3rd. The SHO did the exact same thing. These quirky and contradictory transmission habits usually get down to one engineer in the development team, that automotive journalists rarely can reach to ask why.
The all-new Ford Escape offers three four-cylinder engines, most notably the 240-hp EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder twin-turbo EPA-rated at 21/28 mpg with an available sophisticated new AWD system. There's one smooth 6-speed manual automatic transmission for all models. The 1.6-liter EcoBoost is quick, lively and visceral; while the 2.0 feels like a V6. Classy interior, excellent handling, plenty of cargo space with rear seats that fold down with one touch. MyFordTouch and Voice Command remain problematic. An Escape SE model with the 1.6-liter engine is the way we'd go, to get most of the virtues at the lowest price.

The typical asking rate per listing is in the $0's per square foot per year. The Crystal Lake region is going through a decrease in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $16 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 4 listings have been made available, which means new availabilities might be leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 2,540 sqft, there are still 0 listings below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this region were built in 1994 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Finance and insurance are the dominant industries in this region. Commute by walking is the most popular way to get to work amongst Crystal Lake occupants. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Previous research indicates that the awareness of death can be a barrier to creative expression. Specifically, when mortality is rendered salient, creativity is inhibited. However, no studies have considered how individual differences may impact the effect of mortality salience on creativity. Past research has found that mortality salience increases explorative thought processes for individuals low in personal need for structure. Thus, for these people, mortality salience may increase, not decrease, creativity. The current study examined this possibility. Personal need for structure was measured, mortality salience was experimentally manipulated, and creativity was assessed. As predicted, mortality salience increased creativity amongst individuals low in personal need for structure. No effect of mortality salience was observed amongst individuals high in personal need for structure.
