ITworld.com –
Although Microsoft Corp. sharply criticized Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson in its brief filed on Jan. 29 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the company said it wouldn't bring up the topic in court later this month.
Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) face a Friday deadline to file a schedule of topics for oral arguments on Feb. 26 and 27. If the two adversaries don't agree the court will decide on the topics.
Unless the subject of Jackson's behavior is raised by the appeals court, Microsoft will not talk about him, Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan told the Associated Press on Thursday. "We believe that the briefs speak for themselves," he said, noting that Microsoft had already addressed the matter of Jackson's behavior the last time it faced the appeals court. A spokeswoman for Microsoft in Europe confirmed what Cullinan had said.
Cullinan said Microsoft wants to focus on the central issues of the antitrust case: whether the company illegally bundled Web browser Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system and whether it used anti-competitive practices to maintain a monopoly and gain shares in other markets.
In its 75-page court filing on Jan. 29 Microsoft said that the district judge's repeated public comments "demonstrate an animus towards Microsoft so strong that it inevitably infected his rulings." The company also states that Jackson's "comments about the merits of the case and his ad hominem (personal) attacks on Microsoft are indefensible."
Microsoft cites several examples in the filing -- like where Jackson compared Microsoft to "gangland killers" -- and says Jackson's comments are in violation of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges. Microsoft said the comments are clear grounds for disqualification under U.S. law, and provide an independent basis to vacate the judgment.
Jackson ordered a breakup of Microsoft on June 7 last year. He has since been somewhat of a public figure, giving interviews to the media and talking to authors of books about the case.

Connellsville Chamber preserves, promotes businesses, community growth
With the advent of spring, the Greater Connellsville Chamber of Commerce is turning its attention to its Community Yard Sale.
During the one-day event in early May, which has grown steadily since its beginning 10 years ago, residents and visitors shop in all parts of the city. Participants pay a nominal fee to have their address listed on a community map that is given to shoppers.
The community sale is just one of many annual events put on by the chamber, which has been serving the community for more than 80 years and continues to promote businesses and growth.
"We are looking toward a bright future for the greater Connellsville area. We are seeing growth in business and industry that will benefit our community. The Greater Connellsville Chamber of Commerce will be working for that growth, knowing that the outlook is positive," said Bill Fiesta, immediate past president.
Traditionally, the chamber presents fireworks on July 3 for the enjoyment of the community and has sponsored several Lions Square Sunday Summer Concerts, which are scheduled to begin again this summer.
After-hours events are sponsored at area businesses periodically for networking and encouraging new members. A members picnic is held each summer or fall.
In May, the chamber will recognize the Connellsville Area High School business students of the month for the 2012-13 school year. Each is eligible to write an essay for a chance to win a $500 scholarship from the chamber.
Founded Dec. 18, 1929, and incorporated on April 8, 1930, the chamber's purpose, as described in its bylaws, is to preserve the competitive enterprise system of business by creating a better understanding and appreciation of the importance of businesspeople and a concern for their problems, to educate the business community and provide representation in all levels of government and to prevent or address controversies that are detrimental to expansion and growth of business.
The chamber was established to promote business and community growth and development through economic programs and those of a civic, social and cultural nature that are designed to increase the functional and aesthetic values of Connellsville.
The original office was at 107 S. Pittsburgh St. The office now is at 923 W. Crawford Ave.
In 1929, like now, any person, association, fraternal organization, church, corporation or business having an interest in the objectives of the chamber is eligible for membership. Today's membership includes professionals and retired professionals, nonprofit groups, businesses, schools and corporations, totaling more than 200.
A board of directors heads the chamber. Office Manager Ronn Hall runs day-to-day operations.
The board of directors and officers are nominated, then voted on at the annual meeting in February. This is the occasion when annual awards are presented, including Beautification, Distinguished Citizen, Community Service individual and group and the Athena Award, which has been presented for 25 years.
Committees within the board address specific projects and goals of the chamber.
Community events committee members are an integral part of the successes of the chamber. They and other volunteers are often seen setting up for projects, serving refreshments and cleaning up at the end. Other committees within the board are ambassador, community enhancement, community development, strategic planning and membership.
A new special event took place in January. "Winter Wonderland" was held at Pechin Firehouse Restaurant and honored a longtime Connellsville business, Craig Appliance and Furniture.
"We have been a Connellsville Chamber member for decades. In those years, the business base in Connellsville has changed dramatically, and the chamber has remained steadfast in their commitment to our community," owner Barry Craig said.
Chamber beautification projects include light pole banners and flower barrels for business entrances. Longtime member Tony Grasso leads both of these endeavors to success each year. The banners recognize an anniversary or achievement by a local entity. This year, the banners will honor the 10th re-enactment of the Connellsville Area Historical Society's Braddock's Crossing of the Youghiogheny River.
The chamber purchased decorative lights for the downtown light posts. These are hung each holiday season. The chamber sponsors "Christmas in the Park," a free annual event for children, with buggy rides, photos with Santa, free treat bag and other fun. It will be held Nov. 23 at Yough Park this year.
The chamber recently donated 52 children's coats to Connellsville Area Community Ministries.
The chamber office provides information of all types, with a brochure rack filled with items of interest to community residents and visitors. A Chamber Choice Insurance Plan harnesses the power of all chamber members in Pennsylvania to provide options in health care coverage.
For more information about the chamber or its events, visit the website www.greaterconnellsville.org, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 724-628-5500.
"Chamber members realize that working together can accomplish collectively what may not be possible individually," Fiesta said.

This past week our photoshoot was quite the adventure as our model Kayla, Kristen, and myself wandered around the alley ways of Manhiem, trying to find a unique spot to shoot. We finally found a cool spot near a creek that complimented Kayla's outfit. As we began to shoot we realized there was an animal laying on the ground about ten feet from where we were standing. After gawking at the creature for several minutes we couldn't agree on what kind of animal it was! I thought it was a weasel, Kayla voted muskrat, and Kristen was convinced it was a meerkat. (Meerkats do not live in America, Kristen.) We were not certain if the animal was dead or alive so we each chose a direction in which we would begin running if it started to move. Even though we were terrified throughout the entire photoshoot, it ended in success as we got some awesome photos of Kayla in our new Red Iron Sharpens Iron t-shirt AND we were not attacked by the creepy critter!

Lenovo has taken a unique stance with the storage options - or lack of them - in the X300. Whereas most manufacturers will offer various hard disk capacities, along with a solid state disk version at the very top of the range, Lenovo has chosen to offer the X300 with a 64GB SSD as the only option. This means that there's no "budget" version of the X300, but I imagine that's the whole point - this is Lenovo's flagship model, and it carries a specification and price that emphasises that fact.
I can't help but wonder whether Lenovo's decision to only offer solid state storage in the X300 has allowed the engineers to tailor the machine to the fast access times that the SSD offers. I say this because I've reviewed many notebooks with SSDs in them, and in fact use an SSD equipped Samsung Q40 as my travelling companion, but I've never used a machine that feels as swift and responsive as the X300. Whether it's boot up, application load times or even just general Windows usage, the X300 feels lightning fast. In fact, this subjective opinion is borne out by the ludicrously high HDD score in PCMark Vantage.
When it comes to connectivity, the X300 is simply overflowing with options. There's an Intel 82566MM Gigabit Ethernet controller for an optimum connection to your suitably equipped home or office network, while wireless options are even more impressive. First up is an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, which offers 802.11a and b, as well as Draft-N support. There's also Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, which means that wireless headsets can be easily connected - ideal for making use of the integrated webcam that's mounted above the screen.
Underneath the battery you'll find a SIM card slot, which gives the game away on the final wireless connection. Lenovo has also squeezed in a Sierra Wireless MC8775 HSDPA modem, which means that the X300 really can get connected pretty much anywhere. According to Lenovo's documentation, the HSDPA modem only supports a maximum of 3.6mbps, but in reality it should be compatible with 7.2mbps networks - most 3.6mbps hardware is 7.2mbps compatible, although a firmware flash may be needed.
Unfortunately Lenovo doesn't install a proper HSDPA application to drive the modem. There's a basic utility that runs at startup which will discover the device and the SIM card, then offers to connect you. This works fine and you can browse and send email from the X300 once connected, but there's no SMS functionality, or any way of monitoring data usage.
Interestingly, all the X300 literature mentions WiMAX support, although there's no actual WiMAX hardware in the review sample I have. To be fair, the documentation does state that the X300 will support WiMAX when it becomes available later in 2008. But with the extensive cell based data coverage in Europe, the need for WiMAX isn't as strong as it is in the US.

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I selected the designer review to customize these gift tags into personal labels for my son's notebooks and folders for school. My request to move the "with love" was met so that I could just have my son's name and his school + year. There's a lot you can do with these labels, so I would definitely suggest the designer review if you had something different in mind but were limited during personalization."
"With 7 nieces it's always handy to have gift wrap at the ready. I've bought some pink paper which perfectly matches these lovely labels."
"Used on floral picture with this and it looked wonderful. My flower had pinkish/orange tints and matched the color on the sticker beautifully."

About Me
As much as I love modelling- check my model profile here:Livia17 -
I also love working behind the scenes on photoshoots. Fashion has always been what I loved most about modelling, and styling is yet another way to rub my hands all over gorgeous fabric. I am boiling over with ideas that I could never do by myself, so shoot me a message, and let's shoot already.
I send friend requests to people I have worked with or would like to work with in the future.
The boring stuff: Yes, I do TF provided that...
1) Shoot location metro accessible
2) The model is size 0-6. These are the sizes I keep on hand.
Other than that, I only ask to be reembursed for time and money spent sourcing items that can not be returned.
One of my current obsessions is the fashion nude.
I also create custom jewelry pieces and temporary garments- These are garments that only exist for the duration of the shoot; they can be made of anything from draped fabric to wrapped wire. The sky's the limit.

text: Hi, I'm Victor and took delivery of my 1st BMW just before Christmas 2008. It's an E93 320i convertible in silver. Don't know much about BMWs so hope to get some tips from the forums. At my age (77) I'm not looking to do anything more than to tour the UK and enjoy a super motor. I'll leave the faster stuff to the younger chaps. So far have put 2600 mile on the car and had no problems apart from the weather. Have had the roof in the boot a few time and it is great fun.

Branding & Ads
Branding & Ads
Branding goes way beyond just a logo or graphical element. When you think about your brand, you really want to think about your entire customer experience: everything from your logo, your website, your social media experiences, the way you answer the phone, to the way your customers experience your staff. Personally, I absolutely love to work with branding as it is quite a holistic design experience. See some of my projects here.
Content strategy, ad campaigns and social media content should all align beautifully with a brand. See more of the work I do with ads and content strategy.

I feel it is very important to let my dd (age 8) try different explanations for things, even if they aren't correct, and have time to figure out what is wrong with them. For example why some things float and others sink, or why the flute makes different pitch sounds. Is it vitally impt that she know the correct explanations for this right now?
However, one family member seems to think that I am "not teaching" her. I try to explain that this is my way of facilitation.
She also says things like, "in school you have to give the answer that the teacher says. If you say, no I will think on my own and give my own answer then you will not get marks. You may think you are smart but you will fail. What good is that?"
When she says this she is not merely saying that as a practical strategy you must compromise in order to move ahead. She also seems to value the compromise in itself, as if obedience to authority even when you know it is wrong shows respect for the system, even though it may be flawed here and there. I of course say that if you respect the system then you would hold it to high standards, expect excellence and therefore not accept the flaws. To which she says, you first pass through the system, then reform it.
Oh, I think she is wrong! I think that if your child has the opportunity to learn through discovery, that is (often) the best way to learn. About the references to the way it works in schools. . . sure, some teachers are like that, but I had some that were very good at listening to my theories, etc. Some encouraged exploration. Sometimes though, time restraints required a certain amount of focus.
I believe they have a term for exploratory learning. . . "scientific method." So, I guess in response to the MIL, I would say something along the lines that it is very important for children to learn the "scientific method".
Really though, even if your child is determined to show that 2+2 is 5 instead of 4, she would learn a lot just trying to make a case for it. In the process, she would probably come to a deeper understanding of why. I think it is more important that your dd learns to love the process of learning and to learn to think for herself than to just know the right reason for anything.

Carolyn Dweck has researched and written on the subject of Mindset extensively -- her paperback book by that title is an interesting read. What she talks about is that the more successful children and adults are those who are okay with being wrong while they explore issues; she calls these people "growth minded". The people who are so rigidly focussed on being "right" and being perceived as intelligent (or talented or whatever) stop taking risks because it threatens their image; since they don't want to try the "hard" stuff that might expose that they aren't always "correct", they stop learning as much. One classic example is Edison -- he blew it several times on the whole light bulb thing. More examples of people who failed multiple timesare here: http://des.emory.edu/mfp/efficacynotgiveup.html
Carolyn Dweck's website is: http://mindsetonline.com/
AAK, I wonder if the phrase you were looking for in regards to exploratory learning is "inquiry based learning". Again, entire books have been written about it, including at least one about bringing inquiry based learning into school classrooms, particularly in science.
I am with you on this, and have had many chances recently to mull it over recently. I don't make myself not answer if they ask me point blank and I know the answer, but just as often I want to let it slide. Mainly, I don't feel the push to be artificial about it.
I feel, though, that it is more important to give kids the chance to discover. This is what scientists *do*! It is so much more satisfying to make your own discovery and then find out that *scientists have a name for what you just discovered*! They might not be formulating a hypothesis on paper, but they are going through the scientific process in their head. Even my 6th grade science-teacher-sister agrees here, but she is limited by the need for schools to *document progress* and have all 30 students be on the same level, which requires that hypothesis on paper.
And yeah, I don't think it is that important to correct here. One way you could gently correct if you felt that she has been leaning on one incorrect idea for too long is to offer up a counter-experiment that shows that her ideas need some adjustment. "How can both these experiments be right?" I would need to be doing my own research to find a good one, but if her misconception lasted a long time without revision, I might be tempted to. And an 8yo is certainly old enough to start have some open discourse on this now and then.
But, no, it is not your place to tell her all the answers.
Allowing her to find her own way is invaluable.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."

The Power of Independent Thinking
Volume 12, Issue 36: September 7, 2010
1) Federal Bailouts Impose Hidden Costs on U.S. Economy
Federal spending for the recent bailouts has surpassed $3.6 trillionthe cost of World War II in todays dollars. The indirect, long-term costs of the federal bailouts are not trivial either, according to Independent Institute Senior Fellow William F. Shughart II.
First, as a result of the bailouts, private companies that might otherwise have exercised due caution now have incentives to make riskier decisions, knowing that the feds may come to the rescue were something to go wrong. Second, healthier businesses are now less healthy because the bailouts have siphoned off some of the resources they could have used in the absence of the bailouts. Third, political considerations shaped the governments decisions about who does and who doesnt warrant a bailout, thus distorting the political process as well as the economic system.
If private companies find themselves in dire straits, it would be far better to allow the orderly processes of bankruptcy to determine who survives and who fails, writes Shughart. Taxpayers need to understand that the mega-billion-dollar numbers the politicians bandy about, like its only peanuts, is their money that will come out of their pockets, their childrens pockets, and even their grandchildrensyear after year after year, as far as the eye can see.

3) Assessing the U.S. Exit from Iraq
Last week, President Obama announced the near-complete withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq, a pull-out that leaves behind 50,000 military trainers and advisersten times the number of U.S. personnel stationed in Saudi Arabia at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Independent Institute Senior Fellows Ivan Eland and Charles Peña offer their evaluations.
In the final analysis, keeping troopseven as military advisersin Iraq undermines U.S. security, writes Peña. Drawing down from the 140,000 troops that were deployed in Iraq when President Obama took office in January 2009 to 50,000 today is significant progress. But bringing home the last 50,000 troops is just as importantif not more so.
Elands complementary assessment pulls no punches. The Iraq War was not only disastrous, he writes, it was one of the worst strategic blunders in the history of U.S. foreign policy. President Obama should not renegotiate the status of forces agreement with any government in Iraq. He should avoid any long-term U.S. military presence there that could be ensnared in future violence and withdraw the remaining 50,000 troops before the end of the year.

4) Is Democracy in Venezuela Doomed?
Venezuelan opposition leader Ramón Guillermo Aveledo says that Hugo Chávez may try to steal this months parliamentary elections.
Chávez has become widely unpopular owing to his use of armed gangs, the rise of deadly violence in the nations capital, economic shortages, a judiciary that answers to political power rather than to the rule of law, and Chávezs cosy relations with Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia, according to Carlos Alberto Montaner, an adviser to the Independent Institutes Center on Global Prosperity.
It is probably not hyperbole to say that the future of Venezuela hinges on the outcome of the September 26 elections. If Venezuelans allow victory to be snatched from them, writes Montaner, the conclusion that democrats will reach is that in the future it will be meaningless to participate in rigged elections where the opposition is trampled before, during and after the trip to the polls.

Parenters Presents: Cultivating Grit at Home @ Laura's
Grit is known as more important to success and happiness then talent or IQ alone. Yet, how can we as parents, caregivers and adults in children's lives tap into supporting the development of this essential attribute? By delving into mindsets, vulnerability and the micro-opportunities that our children (and we) present on a daily basis for growth.
This 90-minute workshop will offer the why's, how's, and now's of cultivating grit.
We will explore:
- How mindsets are the gateway to learning
- Why vulnerability is the key to happiness
- The micro-opportunities that can develop willingness, flexibly and persistence in an individual
Parenters, an Austin-based family focused consulting services company, is presenting this workshop for parents, caregivers, and professionals who work with children and families. Parenters provides in-home, child-specific guidance, education, and support on health and nutrition, child development, learning and education, special education, and family relationships.
Jessica Elliott, a family consultant with Parenters, has taught for 16 years in various educational environments focused on elementary instruction and has presented at numerous national and international educational conferences. Jessica has a bachelor's degree in Child Development, a minor in Psychology, a master's in Education, and is pre-primary/primary certified in Montessori Education. She is an educational consultant to schools, teachers, families and learning communities in the US and internationally.

Areas We Address
DAILY MODE We have noticed that while in normal everyday mode that the transmission will move into 4th and 6 th gear really quickly around town with speeds as low as 30-38 mph this really lugs the engine and when trying to accelerate there is a pretty good delay to build boost and either downshift or accelerate. We can correct this by moving some shift strategies patterns around in all gears especially in 4th, 5th and 6th gears. Our calibrations will have emphasis on shifting at the right mph and rpm as to take advantage of the low torque that is available from the 3.5L V6 engine, while maintaining great fuel economy.
TOW/HAUL Mode Coasting or slowing down the downshifts don't command soon enough to keep the RPM's up in torque range and when back in throttle multiple downshifts may occur. Also keep in mind engine braking; a V6 engine has less braking that Ford's past V8 engines, so a quick downshift for braking is required for owners that are going to tow heavy. We have recalibrated tow/haul mode strategies that enhances keeping the engine RPM's elevated to take advantage of the torque band which will require less downshifting by optimizing gears 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. We have also enhanced the down shift patterns to allow better engine braking with this V6 engine. All of our calibrations have this new tow/haul strategy except economy mode calibrations.
SPORT Mode is a fun mode in factory form but does not have much use in a daily drive except wide open throttle. We have an enhance shift pattern that allows you to take advantage of this sport mode to make use of it during your daily drive when you want both sport and fun with keeping some of your drive ability in mind. Upper gears 4th, 5th, 6th are much more driver friendly after tune.
These enhanced calibrations can increase economy and are completely safe to tow/haul your vehicles manufactured recommend weight rating in any mode.
Enhanced Safe Power – Great Drive Ability – Good Economy is our goals with all of our custom maps.
Calibrations will enhance some if not all of these areas depending on Map/Tune developed.
● fuel
● boost
● drive by wire
● grill shutters
● cold/hot start idle
● idle drive
● variable cam
● shifting sport mode
● converter sport mode
● shifting normal mode

● timing
● cruise/speed control
● variable speed fan
● speed limiters
● tire size
● axle ratio
CALIBRATIONS that are available for the F150 3.5L V6 are:
These are our number 1 tunes! They have great power and great drive ability while daily driving or towing factory weight ratings. Best all around tune for the F150 EcoBoost. (Can Tow Factory Weight Ratings with these Maps/Tunes)
87 Octane Performance/Tow
89 Octane Performance/Tow
91 Octane Performance/Tow
93 Octane Performance/Tow
These tunes are about straight line Max Performance. Slightly firmer shifting and quick turbo response. Fun tune to drive daily.

87 Octane Trans Tune Only
89 Octane Trans Tune Only
91 Octane Trans Tune Only
93 Octane Trans Tune Only
These tunes are for all out Economy and can Tow Factory Weight Ratings . Works well in an heavy in town environment on a daily basis or open highway.
87 Octane Economy
89 Octane Economy
91 Octane Economy
93 Octane Economy
We have developed an economy map/tune that keeps truck in vacuum while in town/traffic and while on highway steady state. But while at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) or stab the throttle has more power / torque to accelerate and tow as needed.
General specifications on our economy maps:
Depending on engine load & throttle 0-2000 rpms – vacuum – 2-4 psi boost
Depending on engine load & throttle 2000-3500 rpms – vacuum – 8-10 psi boost
Depending on engine load & throttle 5600 rpms – 12-13 psi boost

Going through the FSU posts now.
I just went to autozone and had the battery load tested and its tested 100% so the battery is fine and just being depleted overnight or long periods of sitting I guess.
I do have one weird observation though ... While driving home from autozone I accelerated and it went into Engine Failsafe Prog again, like yesterday. Didn't notice any reduction in performance so I drove the 5 or so miles back home. When I put it in Park the tach went up to about 1250 RPMs and stayed steady. I put it in Drive, tach went down to normal, I put it in reverse and its at normal level but when I put it in neutral it goes back up to 1250 RPMs.
Turned it off and went back inside wondering what the hell could be causing this.
Any other words of wisdom before I call the Indy?
Thanks for the info so far guys, would be in a shear panic if it wasn't for the forum

Identifying & Removing Adhesive From Hardwood
I'm refinishing treads on a hardwood staircase and it's is giving me some unexpected problems.
The treads all have rubber non-skid mats on them. After I popped out all the nails that I *thought* were holding the mats in place, I found a thick layer of adhesive underneath.
The sheer volume of goop probably means I have to start with a scraper, but after that I'm stuck because I don't know what the stuff is - can it be sanded, does it need a solvent, what kind of solvent, etc. Are there any rules of thumb to make a reasonable guess?
If it helps, the adhesive is light tan. As I peel back the mat, the adhesive stretches and gets stringy. It turns whiter the farther it stretches.
Hard to say without knowing what the adhesive is but you can try either using a heat gun and a scraper or apply some paint remover and try scraping after it sits a while. Either way try either on a small section to start.
Light tan color squeaks of PL Construction Adhesive. In any case though, you are correct, scrape the heck out of it first.
Since you're refinishing, (a good thing too!) you might be able to scrape it down as far as possible, then sand off the remaining film to get to the wood.
Thanks. I guess scraping + sanding will be attack tactic number one.
Dm is correct . try using a open cut paper first so as not to gum up the paper , then switch to the same grit regular paper , then skip one grit till you get to the final grit .[ 3 1/2 open, 3 1/2 closed , 60 , 80 100. ]. then 100 grit screen to remove any scratches from the paper . sand with the grain.

— On Saturday, the Florida Gators and Texas Longhorns will come dressed as national-title contenders.
Florida, seeking to recover from its recent offensive hangover, faces Georgia in the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.'' Texas goes to Oklahoma State, facing one of its biggest tests, but confident that it has the right stuff to hang in the race, maybe even leaping to No. 1 with another overwhelming performance.
But the biggest game is Halloween night at Autzen Stadium — USC at Oregon — where the stakes couldn't be higher for the Pac-10 (or college football's BCS Cinderella story).
USC (6-1, 3-1) is trying to keep alive its streak of seven consecutive seasons with at least a share of the Pac-10 title. (Won't it be fascinating to see if Pete Carroll's crew can summon back their big-game mojo? Or are you thinking more along the lines of watching Carroll raise another trophy — this one from the Holiday Bowl?)
Oregon (6-1, 4-0) has snuck back into the national consciousness after the season-opening 19-8 knockout loss at Boise State. (This could be one of the biggest games Autzen Stadium has ever seen. What uniform combination will Oregon players wear for the occasion?)
And speaking of Boise State, the Broncos are the world's largest Oregon fans. Boise State (7-0) is hoping for calamity after calamity to hit the contenders — an unlikely prospect, indeed — but its flimsy BCS platform is supported ONLY by Oregon running the table. If the Ducks go down, Boise State's candidacy slips through the drain.
A month or so ago, USC-Oregon seemed like an afterthought.
The Trojans, after all, had inexplicably fallen at Washington 16-13.
The Ducks were seemingly erased from existence after losing at Boise State.
Now USC-Oregon could be for the Pac-10 title — and perhaps a whole lot more.
The Trojans have moved to No. 5 in the BCS standings, jumping up two spots, and proving that the loss against Washington already has been forgiven. Let's say USC goes 11-1. With its schedule (visits to Ohio State and Notre Dame, plus a swing through the juiced-up Pac-10), the Trojans will have a case for muscling into the national-title picture.
Oregon is at No. 10 and poised for a springboard leap if it can defeat USC. Let's say the Ducks finish 11-1 — with 11 straight victories. Tough to call that anything other than impressive.
How did USC and Oregon restore their relevance?
The Trojans haven't lost in the six games started by freshman quarterback Matt Barkley. The defensive effort has been alternately exhilarating and frustrating, but always enough to get the job done. It's almost as if USC has been on auto-pilot, knowing when it needs to rev up the engine in key moments, but content to play out the string and let the landscape evolve.
The Ducks, with first-year coach Chip Kelly, a rough opening-night loss at Boise State and the all-time disastrous punctuation mark (LaGarrette Blount's punch) on those proceedings, seemed ready to be dismissed early from the table and sent to bed.
Who knew that the next two under-the-radar nail-biters — beating Purdue 38-36 and Utah 31-24 — was simply setting the stage for growing confidence and steamrolling momentum? Who knew that this Oregon team was capable of such resilience and camaraderie, which kept it together in the dark moments.
USC-Oregon: The Pac-10 needs this one to be great. The league, which hasn't produced two BCS bowl teams since 2002, needs the East Coast television viewers, fresh from trick-or-treating, to say, "Wow! Look at that! Best game I've seen all year.''
You can't go wrong with USC. Everyone knows about the Trojans.
But don't sell the Ducks short. Maybe this is Oregon's time to shine in the BCS race. The Ducks were jobbed by the computers in 2001 — it should've been Oregon vs. Miami for the national title, let's be honest — and they seemed headed to a title opportunity in 2007 before Dennis Dixon's knee crumbled.
No game means more this weekend.
We'll be watching Florida-Georgia, sure, but the Gators should be in control.
We'll be following Texas-Oklahoma State, but the Longhorns are simply better than the Dez Bryant-less Cowboys.
No matter which way it breaks, there's a season's worth of interesting subplots that could follow.
When is the last time we could really say that about a midseason game in the Pac-10, which has generally been the personal playground of the USC Trojans? For now, USC has its biggest test of the season, the proving-ground game before a rabid crowd in what is predicted to be a rainy, damp evening.
It's good for USC and Oregon. It's good for the Pac-10.
And in the bigger picture, it's great for college football.
Q: So where does Oklahoma go from here now that Sam Bradford is gone? What's the Sooners' short-term and long-term future outlook?
— Bob from Saint Joseph, Mo.
A: Oklahoma was an elite program before Sam Bradford's arrival. It will be an elite program after his departure (which is well under way).
Bradford's injury was unfortunate. He's a really talented player who works hard and does the right thing, on and off the field. Those are the people who should be rewarded (and he was last season with the Heisman Trophy and a BCS Championship Game appearance).
For now, the Sooners will make do with Landry Jones at quarterback and he has shown some pluck. The real story at Oklahoma this season, though, is the much-improved play of its defense. It has kept the Sooners in every game.
The Big 12 title may not be in the cards this season — unless there is an unexpected collapse by Texas — but I see the Sooners rolling into a bowl game at 8-4. A potential nine-win season is not a bad outcome for a team that lost is Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback.
As long as Coach Bob Stoops is in charge, the Sooners will be a consistent winner and a threat to win the national title. Oklahoma might not get a quarterback the caliber of Bradford anytime soon, but the Sooners will never be a program lacking in overall talent.
Q: What's going on at Nebraska? Just when it looked like the Cornhuskers were on the path back to respectability … ouch!
— Paul Phillips from Mich.
A: Nebraska still has quite a way to go, Paul. And I'm not even saying that in the context of Saturday's 9-7 loss at Iowa State (that's still a difficult sentence to type; the Cyclones had not won in Lincoln since 1977).
Nebraska has eight turnovers — including four inside Iowa State's 6-yard line — so the fault is easy to pinpoint there.
I'd be more alarmed by two previous defeats — the 31-10 home loss against Texas Tech, when the Red Raiders simply took it to the Cornhuskers, and the 16-15 defeat at Virginia Tech, when the Cornhuskers' defense couldn't produce at crunch time against resourceful Hokies quarterback Tyrod Taylor.
Nebraska's football tradition was forged on imposing its will upon opponents — whether that was through an unyielding ground game or an aggressive defense. So far, neither element has shown itself with much consistency.
Even if Nebraska had pulled out a victory against Iowa State, I'd still say the same thing. It's going to take another season or two before the Cornhuskers are ready to reclaim their perch atop the Big 12 Conference.
Q: OK, what exactly is the rule on how you can legally down a punt near the goal line before it's ruled a touchback? I've heard it explained several different ways by announcers. Can the ball cross the goal line in the air? Can the player be touching the end zone?
— Steve Banks from Jackson, Tenn.
A: Here is the explanation, courtesy of the NCAA's Ty Halpin:
"In NCAA football, the determining factor in this rule is the position of the ball. As long as the ball does not break the plane of the goal line and the ball has either come to rest or the kicking team stops the ball, it is not a touchback. Therefore, a player may be touching the end zone or goal line and still legally down the ball.''

John Abraham is forever looking at the bright side of human nature.
He has an MBA and started his career as a media planner in an agency, until the media director looked at his chiseled looks and suggested he move to the other side of the business and model instead of planning ads. The prestigious Gladrags Manhunt contest was around the corner; John Abraham filled a crumpled form lying nearby and entered on a lark. Not only did he win, he went on to stand second in the worldwide international finals. A successful modeling stint followed abroad before Abraham returned home to make his mark in India, and once he starred in a bunch of music videos, offers to star in films poured in. John signed Aitbaar with Amitabh Bachchan and the hot and happening Bipasha Basu. That movie is still to see the light of day, but John finally made his debut in the much hyped, blockbuster Jism:The Dark Side of Desire with Bipasha as his co-star.
Tell me about your growing years.
You won the Gladrags Manhunt contest, modeled abroad and then came back.
You were a media planner, and handled the media campaigns of other models, so what did you learn from the other side of the fence?
Let us come to Jism. It was touted as Bipasha's film, but you turned out to be the surprise package in the film with your sensitive performance and if it was not for you, the various nuances and subtleties of both the characters could not have been brought out so beautifully.
There was a scene where you realize that the woman you love so passionately has used you all along and you break down. I read somewhere that you drew upon a broken relationship and its painful aftermath, during your MBA days.
Aitbaar was the first film you signed and it is still not finished.
I believe you are an expert in martial arts.
You too are not doing too many multistarrers, which have become the norm in Bollywood?
If there was a movie, you would give an arm and a leg for which one would it be?
In the past year with all the stupendous success, what is it about yourself that has surprised you?

Box Score | Notes | Highlights
Site: Bowling Green, Ohio (Stroh Center)
Event: WNIT Third Round
Score: Bowling Green 63, Michigan 53
Records: U-M (20-14), BGSU (30-4)
Next U-M Event: Season Complete
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Junior forward Cyesha Goree (Grand Rapids, Mich./Wyoming Park) grabbed eight rebounds to set a new single-season record, but the University of Michigan women's basketball team concluded its season with a 63-53 loss at Bowling Green in the third round of the WNIT on Thursday night (March 27) at the Stroh Center.
Junior guard Nicole Elmblad (St. Ignace, Mich./LaSalle) led the way offensively for Michigan with 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists. Goree joined her in double figures with 12 points to go with her eight rebounds. Michigan shot just 40.4 percent (23-for-57) from the floor, compared to 55. 8 percent (24-for-43) for Bowling Green. BG also won the battle on the glass, 28-27.
The teams went back and forth in the early going, combining for four lead changes over the first 12 minutes. An Elmblad three-point play on a backdoor cut with 7:04 left knotted the game at 19. BGSU responded with an 8-2 run over the next 3:05 to take a 27-21 with 3:59 left in the half.
Coming out of the half's final media timeout, senior forward Val Driscoll (Stoughton, Mass./Archbishop William) split a pair of free throws at the 3:27 mark for 27-22 game. Bowling Green closed the half with four straight points to stretch its run to 12-3 over the final part of the half.
BGSU hit the break with a 31-22 lead, shooting 48.0 percent (12-for-25) to Michigan's 31.0 percent (9-for-29). Elmblad led the way at the half with seven points, with freshman guard Siera Thompson (Gardena, Calif./Serra) and junior guard Shannon Smith (Gastonia, N.C./Forestview [Trinity Valley CC]) each going for five. U-M only scored one field goal over the final seven minutes of the half, allowing the Falcons to hold the lead. BG also outrebounded the Wolverines, 19-15, during the opening stanza.
Thompson hit a runner in the lane to start and BG shot clock violation on its opening possession to pull the Wolverines within seven, 31-24, with 18:57 remaining. The Falcons scored 10 of the next 16 points to take their largest lead of the game, 41-30, with 14:34 left before taking a timeout.
A corner triple from freshman guard Paige Rakers (Carlyle, Ill./Carlyle) cut the lead to nine, 50-41, with 8:03 left. The teams traded baskets to keep the lead at nine before the Falcons scored nine straight to push their lead to 18 points, 61-43, with 3:06 on the clock.
Michigan made a late push but could get no closer than 10 points in the loss.
U-M's season is now complete. The Wolverines wrapped up their sixth 20-win season in program history, including their third straight.

The Dallas Mavericks pulled off a surprising win in their season opener but failed to carry that momentum into their next game.
With a couple of days to recover from back-to-back games and the potential return of Chris Kaman, Dallas might have an opportunity to get back in the win column after Saturday night's home opener against the Charlotte Bobcats, who have never beaten the Mavericks.
Dallas is expected to play without perennial All-Star Dirk Nowitzki for the next six weeks, but wasn't affected too much by his absence in Tuesday's 99-91 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the favorites in the Western Conference.
The Mavericks, though, fell 113-94 to Utah the next night after shooting 37.6 percent. Darren Collison scored a team-high 17 points for the second consecutive game but only three other players reached double figures compared with six overall in the win over Los Angeles.
Dallas was also outscored 37-13 in the third quarter.
"We would have liked to go home 2-0, but we've gotta go home now and protect the home court," forward Brandan Wright told the team's website.
The Mavericks (1-1) would appear to have a strong chance of prevailing on their court as they're 15-0 all-time against the Bobcats. That streak is tied for the NBA's second-longest active run against any opponent behind the Lakers' 19 consecutive wins over Minnesota.
Dallas might also get some help as it tries to continue that dominance if Kaman can come back from a strained right calf, which has kept him from making his debut with the team.
If he returns, Kaman will face a Charlotte team that finished 7-59 last season for the worst winning percentage in NBA history (.106). The Bobcats, though, snapped a 23-game losing streak dating back to last season by beating Indiana 90-89 on Friday in Mike Dunlap's coaching debut.
Kemba Walker led the way with 30 points and Gerald Henderson chipped in 18. New additions Ben Gordon and Ramon Sessions also scored in double figures.
"The most important thing was to kill the elephant, and that elephant was that losing streak. We had to get that off of everybody's back. It's just one of those marks you want to clean off the board," Dunlap said. "I think this is a different team."
While they've failed to win a game in the series, the Bobcats have lost by five points or fewer in four of the last six meetings, including a 101-96 defeat in Dallas on March 15. Nowitzki had a team-best 27 points for the Mavericks in that game and he'll be missed in this one as he's averaged 28.3 points over his last seven matchups.
The often-injured Kaman will try to make up for his absence by posting his sixth consecutive double-double against Charlotte.
The Bobcats' Tyrus Thomas has averaged 18.8 points on 53.8 percent shooting and 9.5 rebounds in his last four games against Dallas.
