LOL why would he want to come and play in a half empty stadium for a half hearted football program? Purdue should be happy they were even in the conversation.
Because they stuck with their commitment to him from when he was a nobody and didn't qualify for 2 years. He's not a HS recruit. He committed out of high school and didn't make the grades and went JUCO. Hope stayed on him then he got better.
ESPN's doing the GameDay stuff. Corso's a senile drunk but when he says "I'd pick anyone against Purdue" I'm inclined to agree.
It's wonderful that halfway through what was supposed to be the best Purdue football season since Orton, I'm actively rooting for them to lose.
I'd like to send Burke a card with an inscription from Dante.

this is where we are Burke
looks like no customary hoops redshirt this season. Simpson was the candidate with the depth up front and him apparently being in crap shape. but Painter said he definitely won't redshirt.
Can somebody explain the reasoning on this? Does Painter see him being a major contributor this year?
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
If you wanna look at it from a glass half full perspective, maybe now that Painter's got a real recruiting budget after MissouriGate maybe he's more comfortable in being able to get in on higher quality players earlier. He's obviously gotta land a couple but the caliber of players he's chasing that'll hit (a) campus in 2015 and beyond is higher than targets of the past. That's how it'll happen, if it does of course. Recruiting guys is a multi-year process, you won't see results from the budget increases for a few seasons. Probably feels a lot more likely to turn over the roster every 4 years with quality prospects instead unranked 3 stars. Not to diminish those players, we've had plenty that have done great things, but it's just the nature of the business.
It's of course possible that Simpson just wouldn't take a redshirt, that's how it was with Lawson last year.
I definitely think Painter expects big things from Jay.Jay Simpson probably is our most talented player, Painter said. Thats a big statement, because I think we have some pretty good players. He is a 6-foot-9, 260 guy who can dribble, pass and shoot. But he still is a long way away in terms of conditioning. Right now, he has bursts of good play, but then he is gassed, and we have to get him out of there.
Heisenberg, I was wondering if it was the norm to not redshirt kids unless they agree to it, or if the player usually has a lot of say in it.

Moore in place of injured Jameer Nelson in Magic win: 38 Mins 15 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals.
He is the one bright spot in the world of Purdue Sports. Not sold on the current men's team. I've seen some Simpson You Tube highlights, and if he is our most skilled player, we got problems. Maybe he's improved since
I believe a coach can redshirt any guy he wants, but it wouldn't exactly be a smart thing to do when the player doesn't want it for obvious reasons. And I think it'd just be a dick thing to do.
Pat Forde seems to think it's a foregone conclusion that Hope is gone. Good news for Boiler fans.
Get what we pay for. Pay out or keep sucking. And keep sucking in football that eats into every sport's budget, including mens hoops. We ain't Kentucky, we can't spend an entire football year's recruiting budget on our Midnight Madness like them.

Ranking top head-coaching candidates
November, 7, 2012
Sonny Dykes will likely have the attention of several athletic directors this offseason.
If you have not seen or read Sonny Dykes' name by now, it might be time for familiarization. Dykes, the 42-year-old coach of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, is quickly becoming one of the more buzzed-about names for open or soon-to-be-open coaching jobs. Yes, the college football hot stove season has arrived.
I'd venture to say that Dykes is the No. 1 name to watch in this cycle of the carousel. (Read on for my ranking of the other sitting head coaches and top coordinators who will soon be considered for new gigs.)
While the possibilities for Dykes and others -- Arkansas and Kentucky are among the current vacancies in the country's top conference -- are considered, he still has a job to do.
"You can't worry about that. It's not something you're in control of," Dykes said Tuesday night. "You owe it to your players and Louisiana Tech to put 100 percent of our focus into doing the best we can. There's a time later to think about other things."
Dykes said it's flattering to hear his name surface, although he assigned credit for that to his flourishing Louisiana Tech program and his coaching staff.
When Derek Dooley left Tech for the Tennessee Volunteers, he was 17-20 there, including 4-8 in his third season. Many looked at that, shrugged and said, Well, it's hard to win in Ruston.
Dykes, previously Arizona's offensive coordinator and the son of longtime Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes, didn't see it that way.
"I always thought Tech had potential because it's such a great area to recruit in," said Sonny Dykes, the 2011 WAC Coach of the Year. "On the outside looking in, you thought it would be a good place, just being in Louisiana and [close to] Texas and Arkansas and Mississippi, just the surrounding states play such good football. If you've got a recruiting base, you've got a chance to be good."
Like under Dooley, the Bulldogs went 8-5 in Dykes' second season. But unlike Dooley's tenure, they've built upon that in Year 3.
Louisiana Tech is 8-1. At 19th in The Associated Press poll and 20th in the BCS standings, the Bulldogs are the highest-rated non-AQ program, and their only loss is to 15th-ranked Texas A&M.
Dykes' senior quarterback, Colby Cameron, has thrown 24 touchdowns and zero interceptions in 358 attempts. Senior receiver Quinton Patton is already at 1,000 yards, backing up his 1,200-yard season in 2011.
Offense is pacing the Bulldogs. They're second to Oregon in scoring (52.4 points per game). They needed all of those points, and then some, to try to claw back in that one loss. Texas A&M led 39-13 in the second quarter of the teams' Oct. 13 track meet. Tech came up a two-point conversion shy in a 59-57 defeat. Losing to A&M is far from criminal; everyone on its schedule has, except Florida and LSU (by a total of eight points).
Expect Kentucky to make one of the first pushes for Dykes. Offensive-minded coaches inherently provide a boost to beleaguered fan bases (see: James Franklin at Vanderbilt), and Dykes spent the 1997 and 1999 seasons as an assistant coach at Kentucky.
One subplot: Should Dykes land in the SEC, it could provide for an ironic return for Louisiana Tech offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. Franklin's stay at Auburn lasted only a year and a half before he was fired.
Other current head coaches
With Dykes holding down the No. 1 spot, here is the rest of my ranking of the current head coaches who are most likely to be moving on to bigger and better jobs after the season.
2. Willie Taggart, Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
A couple of years ago, ESPN The Magazine had me doing anonymous Sun Belt surveys, and the majority of those polled agreed that Western Kentucky was the worst job in the league. It had just made the leap from the Football Championship Subdivision, and hope was rather bleak in basketball-centric Bowling Green.
Taggart has altered perceptions in a short period of time. After an 0-4 start in 2011, Western won seven of its final eight games, the exception being against then-No. 1 LSU. This season, the Hilltoppers are 6-3 and have a win at Kentucky.
It's assumed that Taggart could get a look from Southern programs, but his three years as an assistant at Stanford (2007-09) broaden his prospects to other parts of the country.
3. Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech Red Raiders
It wasn't long ago that Tuberville was on the hot seat. Now he is one of the more popular names for the Arkansas job. A 6-1 start for the Red Raiders, including wins against West Virginia and TCU, was the boost he needed.
Tuberville would be a fit in Fayetteville, given his background in the division -- he was at Ole Miss and Auburn from 1995-2008 -- and because of whom he could potentially bring along with him. Red Raiders offensive coordinator Neal Brown is a rising star, and first-year defensive coordinator Art Kaufman has resurrected a Tech unit that was buried a season ago.
With that whole package, Jeff Long at Arkansas should absolutely have Tuberville in his crosshairs.
4. Dave Doeren, Northern Illinois Huskies
The Huskies are a one-point loss to Iowa in the season opener from being 10-0. Doeren is 20-4 since taking over last year, as the program was 27-35 in the five years before his arrival from Wisconsin, where he served as the defensive coordinator from 2006 to 2010.
It's rare that a coach would come in and immediately rack up a 13-1 league record. NIU's balance -- 10th in the country in scoring offense and 18th in scoring defense -- is particularly noteworthy.
If a place like Purdue opened, given Doeren's Big Ten background, it might be a good fit.
5. Mike MacIntyre, San Jose State Spartans
The progress in San Jose has been remarkable: 1-12 in 2010, 5-7 last season and a 7-2 start in 2012. Athletic directors love to see that sort of growth, especially at a program with no real semblance of tradition.
MacIntyre is from Florida and went to Georgia Tech, so look for him to come up for jobs in the Southeast -- heck, maybe even in Atlanta if the incoming athletic director eventually moves on Paul Johnson.

Mark Zerof/US Presswire
Would Dan Mullen consider leaving Starkville for another SEC job?
6. Dan Mullen, Mississippi State Bulldogs
Mullen seems content at Mississippi State, but it's worth wondering because of the ceiling in Starkville, where he is 28-19 in three-plus seasons with a high-water mark of 9-4 in 2010. The Bulldogs are 7-2 but have been hammered in back-to-back weeks by Alabama and Texas A&M, and LSU is next.
No one is really talking about it, but it'd be interesting to see what Mullen could do at a place like Arkansas or Tennessee (if it opens). Yeah, we know. His name came up similarly when Will Muschamp got the Florida job, though he was reportedly never a candidate even after his time there as offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer.
They're different levels of jobs, really. Based on a variety of factors, Coaches By The Numbers ranks Florida as the No. 3 job in the country, while Tennessee is 13th and Arkansas is 20th. Mississippi State, by the way, is 41st.
7. Art Briles, Baylor Bears
The school is in the process of building a new on-campus, riverside stadium, which makes it less likely that Briles would be interested in making a jump. Less likely, however, does not mean out of the question. He is a Texas guy, but I asked him in the spring if he'd ever think of coaching outside the state and he didn't really flinch.
Like with Mullen at Mississippi State, where is the ceiling for Baylor? And how much does a new stadium raise that ceiling? That's the question for Briles and his staff, which have churned out 11 draft picks the past three seasons. That's 14th among active coaches, according to Coaches By The Numbers.
Briles is just 18-53 in his career against teams above .500 -- but 10 of those wins have come since 2010. Perhaps now is the time to field a few phone calls. A raise would be another good reason; he is making less than $2 million in a top-three conference.
8. Butch Jones, Cincinnati Bearcats
After going 4-8 in his first season in 2010, Jones' teams have won 16 games to stabilize the underrated program. At 6-2 this season, Jones is getting frustrated about support.
"Sometimes you take things for granted," he told the Cincinnati Enquirer this week, after about 26,000 fans attended the win against Syracuse at the school's 35,000-seat stadium. "We have a great product here in Cincinnati. For our football program to grow, Nippert Stadium needs to be sold out."
That's the constant uphill battle in Cincy, where it's largely a pro audience -- a big reason why Brian Kelly and Mark Dantonio left for jobs in more visible college spots.
Although Jones has undoubtedly wanted to distance himself from those before him, be his own man and all that, it probably helps in hiring circles to see Kelly and Dantonio doing well in high-profile jobs. If a good Big Ten job comes open in the next few years, Jones would be a solid option.
9. Charlie Strong, Louisville Cardinals
"Wait a second," you're thinking. "Why is Strong so low?" That's because it's becoming less and less likely that he is going anywhere, for now.
Louisville seems prepared to open the checkbook to keep a coach who has the program off to its best-ever start at 9-0. With a number of returning players coming back in 2013, including Heisman candidate Teddy Bridgewater, it's not the best time to bolt. He has been linked most often to Arkansas -- he is from the state and played at Central Arkansas -- but that's almost too obvious.
10. Gary Patterson, TCU Horned Frogs
Like Strong, Patterson is a signability issue or he would be ranked far higher. It's going to take a really special job if Patterson is ever going to leave TCU, which just opened a new stadium and overhauled the football facility.
We're talking Oklahoma- or Texas-level special. Patterson's 115-32 record has earned him that, if he's willing to wait. He seems prepared to do so.
Others to watch: It's probably a year early for a few coaches who could wind up being the 2013 version of Dykes.
Toledo's Matt Campbell (8-2) and Fresno State's Tim DeRuyter (7-3) have done excellent jobs in their first seasons. Kent State's Darrell Hazell (8-1) and Ball State's Pete Lembo (7-3) are two more to keep an eye on in the MAC.
Those names could come up sooner rather than later at a place such as NC State, should it part ways with Tom O'Brien. The potential opening at Boston College is also intriguing for MAC coaches, since the new AD there came from Miami (Ohio).
Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy has come up a few times, including at Arkansas, but his new deal at his alma mater seems to have satisfied him, and the resources in place have made the school competitive against its in-state rival and the rest of the Big 12. There's no reason to bolt.
Top coordinators
[+] Enlarge
Marvin Gentry/US Presswire
Kirby Smart has been waiting for the right head-coaching opportunity.
1. Kirby Smart, Alabama defensive coordinator
For years, it was Muschamp and Smart as the next generation of SEC coordinators to become SEC head coaches. Muschamp took a detour through Texas before landing at Florida, a top-three job in the league, and Smart has been patient for the right opportunity. Is it this year? The jobs that are open, or potentially opening, don't seem to suggest the timing is right.
Tennessee, though, might be the most intriguing for Smart. It would seem to follow the Muschamp trail: play at Georgia, be a coordinator in the SEC West and become head coach of one of UGA's division rivals.
2. Chad Morris, Clemson offensive coordinator
The Tigers had to boost the second-year OC's salary by more than a million dollars -- amazing, considering he was a high school coach in 2009 -- to keep him from looking elsewhere last season. As long as he is succeeding with Clemson, and the offense is chugging again this year, he'll continue to remain a target.
How much money does Clemson have? If Morris keeps going, he'll be making more than head coach Dabo Swinney.
3. Mark Stoops, Florida State defensive coordinator
Could Mark be the next of the Stoops boys to get a head-coaching job? It's clearly worked well for Bob, but not so much with Mike, now back at Oklahoma.
Jimbo Fisher said this week during his news conference that he'd like to turn FSU into a launching pad for future head coaches, and Mark Stoops would be a good place to start.
The Noles are first in the country in total defense, giving up just 3.5 yards per play.
4. Todd Monken, Oklahoma State offensive coordinator
Evidently the job requirements to be a Cowboys OC are as follows: foul mouth, big-time offense.
It worked for Dana Holgorsen, now at West Virginia. And it's working for Monken, in his second year running the OSU offense.
The Pokes are averaging more yards per game this season without Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon. The team began the season with an 18-year-old freshman quarterback, Wes Lunt. When he was injured, redshirt J.W. Walsh came off the bench to star. When Walsh was lost for the season to injury, third-string QB Clint Chelf and Lunt combined to rack up yards last week at Kansas State.
It's a testament to the level of quarterback play at Oklahoma State, sure, but credit Monken's system too. The Cowboys have scored more than 30 points in a stunning 95.2 percent of their games under Monken, according to Coaches By The Numbers.
When another Big 12 school needs a coach -- say, if Baylor or Texas Tech happened to open a position -- he'd be an intelligent call.
5. Kliff Kingsbury, Texas A&M offensive coordinator
Kingsbury, the former Texas Tech quarterback, is an up-and-comer who is going to keep rising as Kevin Sumlin does at A&M.
He could still use a year or two in the new league to sharpen his chops. It will be interesting to see what the Aggies do this week against Alabama.
"If they take care of the ball, I think they'll have a chance. I really do," Dykes said of the Aggies' shot at upsetting the Tide. "A&M can make some plays. The tempo will give them problems. It's going to be something so different than what they've seen."
6. Neal Brown, Texas Tech offensive coordinator
Youth is certainly working on the side of this 32-year-old. If Tuberville does wind up getting the Arkansas job, it would put Brown in an even more visible place with more toys with which to play. He'll eventually get a job, but it's a matter of locating the right one.
7. Brent Pease, Florida offensive coordinator
He is in his first year at Florida after being lured from Boise State, so he might want to stay a bit to let his stock rise, but some schools might soon begin kicking the tires -- Kentucky, for example.
The first instinct is to say, "Oh, Florida's offense has been pretty abysmal this season," but anyone who has watched the team knows that 1) it's 8-1, and 2) the staff has gotten some good mileage out of a so-so amount of talent on offense. Sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel is still young, and the older receivers have been underachieving players from the previous regime's recruiting classes.
Pease has done a lot with a little, and athletic directors have taken note. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the right opportunity.
8. Mark Helfrich, Oregon offensive coordinator
He was all set to take over for boss Chip Kelly when Kelly was all but gone to Tampa Bay last offseason, but Helfrich is still in wait-and-see mode. No one is questioning Helfrich's acumen; it's just a matter of whether he wants to hang on until Kelly's next NFL overture. But even elite programs will be interested in what Helfrich has soaked up working alongside Kelly.
9. Pat Narduzzi, Michigan State defensive coordinator
His stock was on the rise when this season started -- Narduzzi nearly left to be Sumlin's defensive coordinator at Texas A&M -- but a middling year for the Spartans hasn't done anything to spark interest. Still, Narduzzi is an engaging individual with a bright football mind.
10. Justin Wilcox, Washington defensive coordinator
Wilcox might be an intriguing name to consider a year from now. Washington's defense is so young, and subsequently pretty poor, that he is not going to get rave reviews in his first season at U-Dub. But if he can turn it around in the near future, the affable 35-year-old should soon be a candidate for some West Coast positions.
Former coaches
We won't rank those in this category because there are so few, compared to last year when you would have found Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez and Washington State coach Mike Leach here.
Bobby Petrino has to be considered the prime candidate currently out of the game. His cause for termination at Arkansas will be a deterrent, but his 75-26 career record could ultimately speak louder for some program. There are some decent options for the 51-year-old, but he might hold out another year, a la Rodriguez and Leach, to see if a bigger job opens.
If not for the previous flirtation, secret planes and whatnot, Auburn would actually make the most sense. Maybe it still goes after him anyway.
Butch Davis isn't a name getting a lot of traction, but he wants back in the game. He could find a Conference-USA-type job -- UTEP could be open, for instance -- and build from there.
Phillip Fulmer has made no secret for several years that he would like another opportunity to coach, but he remains the Jon Heder of college coaches. Heder will always be Napoleon Dynamite. Fulmer will always be Tennessee.
Jon Gruden still seems far-flung, although some Tennessee alums are convinced he is a viable option. One question comes to mind: Why? Gruden was known as a veteran hoarder in the NFL, someone who seemed to like to work with more seasoned players over rookies. Does that translate into a successful college coach?
Why so SERIOUS
Doeren, Taggart, Dykes in that order
I can respect that, I think my top target would be Charlie Strong, already has ties with Florida, where we do a lot of our recruiting, as well a good pedigree, and with him coming up to Kentucky(the state), he is now better suited to recruit in the midwest, he has already gotten a decent amount of players from IN, OH, and FL, so that would fit right in. He is also used to working with teams that play games with players speedy players.
Not sure Purdue would be willing to cough up the money, but I believe this is Morgans last year so you never know.
Why so SERIOUS
Ready for Purdue Basketball season! Boiler up!
Anyway, even if they ponied up there's no reason for Strong to come to Purdue, unless it's a substantial raise. Louisville's a better program.

Yeah, I think it is more a prestigious job, and it is Big Ten football which has a strong history and a lot of tough teams, but I guess first we will have to wait until hope is fired, the team this year has looked out right bad.
Ready for friday though, bring on the basketball.
Why so SERIOUS
so, it'd be pretty sweet if we didn't lose to Bucknell
Did any of you guys watch the game? What went wrong? Who looked good/bad?

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The U.S. Labor Department announced the economy only created 88,000 jobs in March as many more adults quit looking for work than found jobs. For many Americans,a good job remains tough to find.The headline unemployment rate is 7.6%, but adding in adults who are discouraged and quit looking for work and part-timers preferring full-time positions, the jobless rate becomes 13.8%. For many years, inflation-adjusted wages have been falling and income inequality rising. Sluggish growth is one culprit -- the Bush expansion delivered only 2.1% annual GDP growth. That's about the same as the Obama recovery after 42 months. However, globalization and technological progress have wrought fundamental changes that rapid growth alone can't fix. Cheaper natural gas and rising wages in China make the United States more attractive for manufacturing. However, new factories require very few workers. Engineers have applied the wizardry of handheld devices to factory automation with amazing results. Similar progress has reduced many business support positions ranging from secretaries to travel agents -- slicing demand for workers with a general high-school education.
Over the last decade the same thing has happened to college graduates occupying middle management and similar professional positions. Consequently, college graduates have been taking jobs once predominantly filled by high school graduates -- insurance agents and adjusters, retail managers, to name a few -- and the earnings advantage of college graduates over less educated workers has narrowed. Well-paying jobs abound for college graduates in technical areas such as accounting, engineering and nursing, but not for those with degrees in liberal arts and general business. Similarly, high school graduates with some additional training, often through a community college, can find good jobs, for example, in the energy, medical and hospitality sectors. All this gives rise to widening income inequality between those who have specialized skills and those who don't, and it imposes particular burdens on the two bookends of the labor force -- recent grads and workers above 50. Recent liberal arts graduates face particular difficulty getting that first decent job such as in finance or the media,--where employer training and entry-level experience combine to impart job-specific skills that permit them to climb the ladder.

LOS ANGELES -- Sandy Boss, the former wife of a man who called himself Clark Rockefeller, will testify for the prosecution at his murder trial, sources close to the case said Thursday.
In 1995 Boss, a Harvard Business School graduate married a man who told her he was a Rockefeller and descendant of the 19th Century oil baron. In reality the man was Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, a German national.
Boss' name was included on a list of witnesses provided last week to prospective jurors in the case, who were told the list included both potential witnesses and names that might come up during testimony in the case.
Gallery: Witnesses recall fake Rockefeller as teen who loved America
The date of her testimony has not been determined, but the sources said she is making arrangements to travel to Los Angeles to testify.
Gerhartsreiter is accused of killing John Sohus, 27, cutting up his body in three parts and burying the pieces in the backyard of a San Marino home during 1985.
He and Boss had a child together, Reigh "Snooks" Boss. The couple were divorced in 2007. When Gerhartsreiter refused to provide proof of his identity, he lost custody of the child and was given limited visitation rights.

Easy to remember rule: Don't flush anything except human waste and toilet tissue. More tips to keeping your septic system happy and healthy: Every three to five years, a septic system should be professionally pumped in order to remove solids from the tank. Without regular pumping, solids can spill into the leach field and clog the soil. These time guidelines apply when a family of four is residing in a house full time. Vacation home systems will need to be pumped less frequently; large families who use more water may need to pump their systems more often. The following symptoms can indicate a system is beginning to experience difficulties: Plumbing systems might drain slowly or backup. Interior lines should be checked first before looking into the sewage disposal system. Discharge from washing machines, dishwashers, and bathtubs could backup or overflow over the septic tank or field. When this occurs after a heavy rain, the septic system is especially suspect. Foul odors in catch-basins or storm drains could indicate that sewage is entering groundwater, either from the home or a neighboring property's system. There are certain landscaping precautions a homeowner should make in a yard that contains a septic system: Trees should be planted at least 100 feet away from the septic system, particularly trees with wide-spread shallow roots. Landscaping, foundation drains, and roof gutters should be planned to divert water away from the septic system. It is important to plant grass over the septic system and leach field to prevent soil erosion. Septic systems aren't maintenance free, but, in most cases, with regular, simple maintenance, septic systems will provide a lifetime of reliable use to homeowners.

Abreu, Dunn slug White Sox past Giants' Hudson
Two-run HR, three-run shot open cushion; Sale improves to 6-1
CHICAGO -- However mild it may have been, it was the first bit of bad publicity for Jose Abreu since he joined the White Sox.
For the second time in two games, the rookie sensation did not run out a play that was an easy out. A frustrated Abreu swung and missed on a dropped third strike on Tuesday, and opted not to run to first. Immediately upon Abreu's return to the dugout, bench coach Mark Parent and manager Robin Ventura lectured the Cuban transplant. When asked about it Wednesday morning, an emotional Abreu made it clear the issue was behind him.
Wednesday afternoon, Abreu wasted no time putting aside any lingering frustrations from the previous day. He obliterated a Tim Hudson changeup in the first inning for his 20th home run, making him the third-fastest player to reach that mark in MLB history. That two-run blast, along with a three-run shot from Adam Dunn, proved to be the difference as the White Sox won both games of their two-game set against the Giants with a 7-6 victory at U.S. Cellular Field.
"I never though of any record breaking or anything like that," said Abreu through manager of cultural development Lino Diaz. "I was just concentrating on coming in and doing my job daily, and I'm fortunate enough that things have happened and, once again, I've just got to thank God for that. I've continued to do the things to help the White Sox win."
Abreu reached the 20-homer plateau in 58 career games, a pace that trails only Mark McGwire (56 games) and Wally Berger (51 games). He also became the third-fastest in franchise history to 20 home runs in a single season, behind Jim Thome (49 games in 2006) and Frank Thomas (46 games in 1994).
Even more impressive is that Abreu's homer came on an 0-2 pitch -- a hanging changeup on the inner half of the plate -- that was also the third pitch of the at-bat. The 38-year-old Hudson had allowed a home run in that scenario only twice before.
"You never know what you are going to get, whether it's a 3-for-4 night with two singles and a double or homers or how far they are going to go or anything like that," said starter Chris Sale. "It's fun to watch him learn as quickly as he has and really just dominate the game in his first year."
Following leadoff singles by Conor Gillaspie and Abreu to open the fifth, Dunn jumped on another 0-2 Hudson pitch -- this time a high fastball -- and sent it 402 feet into the seats in right for a 7-2 Sox lead. It was the 452nd homer of his career, tying him with Carl Yastrzemski for 35th on the all-time list.
The home runs by Dunn and Abreu, along with a two-run single in the fourth by Tyler Flowers that snapped an 0-for-25 skid, were just enough to make a winner out of Sale. He picked up his sixth quality start and third in his last four outings by allowing three earned runs in six-plus innings.
"He was erratic. I think he was forcing it on occasion," Ventura said. "He didn't quite have the location that he normally has. Getting it back in the middle of the plate, he was probably just trying to throw strikes at some point. He's still a good pitcher. You sit there and split hairs over that, but he at least gets you to the spot where you need to be."
San Francisco made things interesting in the final three innings. Buster Posey made it 7-3 with a sac fly in the seventh, but the visitors left the bases loaded The Giants pushed across two more in the eighth on Gregor Blanco's double and Hunter Pence fielder's choice, and cut the deficit to 7-6 in the ninth on Tyler Colvin's sacrifice fly. Closer Ronald Belisario left the tying run on base by getting Ehire Adrianza to fly out to center.
That final out secured Chicago's second straight victory following a four-game losing streak. After being swept by the Royals over the weekend, the White Sox took both games from a team that, even on a 1-8 slide, is tied for the best record in the National League (with Milwaukee, which played later Wednesday).
"Our guys, they're tough. They just keep grinding," Ventura said. "We know we didn't play well against KC, but put it behind you and you keep going. The schedule keeps going and it doesn't stop.
"If you want to look in the rearview mirror and wallow on that, you're going to get beat a lot more. These guys seem to stay with it and grind it out."

I've been a holdout on the idea, popular among national analysts, that Peyton Manning's time with the Colts has reached its end. I didn't believe Colts owner Jim Irsay would toss aside the greatest quarterback in Indy history, and one of the best of all time, if there was any chance he could play. I heard the logic. I just couldn't envision it.
I've changed my mind, thanks to Colts general manager Ryan Grigson's seemingly indifferent attitude about Manning.
Grigson said he hasn't talked to Manning in the week that he's been the team's general manager. Grigson "reached out" to Manning. But then he "missed his call." Come on now. You want to tell me in this age of connectivity and smart phones that the GM of the Colts couldn't once find a way to touch base with the face of the Colts? Or should I say former face of the Colts?
Grigson also said Manning's future was something that "has not been discussed."Hmm. I thought that might have come up.
Irsay was no more encouraging in terms of Manning on Tuesday. He kept referring to how this transition is similar to 1998, and we know that change of Colts' direction included a rookie quarterback in Manning. Irsay was asked point blank if the Colts are going to have a new coach, new GM and new quarterback. He talked around the question.
Irsay didn't mention Manning's name one way or the other, but said, rather cryptically, "It is hard when you have to say goodbye to some people, but it is part of professional football and we are excited about the direction that we are going in."
I wasn't surprised that Caldwell was given the boot, particularly after Irsay fired Bill and Chris Polian and brought in Grigson. Irsay used the term "rebuilding." Grigson wasn't likely to undertake the task using leftover materials from the previous builder, for lack of a better analogy.
But it was fairly weird that Caldwell participated in an interview with former Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo about the defensive coordinator's job on Monday, and then was fired Tuesday afternoon.
Grigson said he talked with Caldwell for seven hours – couldn't they have put Manning on speakerphone at some point? – and called him a great person and a great coach. Perhaps some credit should go to Grigson for making that effort to take a long look at Caldwell. He says he'll take the same approach with other assistant coaches. If I were them, I'd go ahead and float those resumes.
It's been interesting and a bit disconcerting to see the casual marginalizing of Manning that's taken place since Grigson showed up.
There was a time, less than six months ago, when everything about the Colts was seen through the filter of Manning. Caldwell would probably still have a job if Manning hadn't undergone two neck surgeries and missed the season. Now? Now Manning is another guy on the roster that Grigson will talk to sooner or later.
"I have not had a chance to even get with him yet," Grigson said. "We are taking this thing piece by piece in the way that we feel is in the best interest of the franchise moving forward."
Irsay mentioned salary caps and alluded to financial issues when he said some players and coaches could be back. The Colts would have to pick up Manning's $28 million option by March 8 to keep him from being a free agent. He'll be 36. He's had three neck surgeries. It seems unlikely that he'll be given a clean bill of health by that time.
Now Caldwell, Manning's quarterback coach turned head coach, is out. Former offensive coordinator Tom Moore has already left the building, former coach Tony Dungy before that. The links to the past are disappearing.
On a logical level, it makes sense to rebuild with the No.1 pick, presumably Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. But Manning isn't Marshall Faulk or Edgerrin James or even Marvin Harrison. Without Manning, it's likely there would be no Lucas Oil Stadium and no Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
I like the tweet Colts defensive end Robert Mathis sent out when news broke that Caldwell was fired: "Another domino falls in the #CleanHouseMission2012 so y'all getting what y'all wanted. A record breaking 10yr run but #WhatHaveYouDone4MeLately"
There will be an Indianapolis Colts team after Manning. There's no doubt about that. How's 2012 sound?
To borrow from Mathis, the biggest domino is teetering more than ever.

A couple who Wiltshire Police wanted to speak to in connection with the New Year's Day death of popular Melksham garage worker Graham Topp have come forward.
Devizes-born Mr Topp, 40, collapsed and died at 6am at the Total Garage, in Semington Road, with police appealing for two witnesses, who'd be shopping in the store, to come forward.
Detective Constable Melanie Carosi, Investigating Officer said: "We would like to thank the media for their assistance and to all of the members of the public who phoned us with information.
"We have been contacted by the couple and they are assisting us with our enquiries into the sudden death of Graham Topp."
The police are not treating the death of Mr Topp, a former pupil of Devizes School, as being suspicious.
Since Mr Topp's death, a Facebook page has been set up in his memory by friends and regular customers from the garage.
So far, more than 2,500 people have joined the page and have left tributes for Mr Topp, who worked the late shift at the store and was known as Big G.

Ian White returned to the locker room Friday after severing a tendon in his left knee in Tuesday's loss to the Dallas Stars.
"It's kind of depressing that something like this happens so early in the season when you start getting your legs under you and have a setback for a couple of weeks," White said. "It doesn't make you feel very good. But other than I'm in good spirits."
White, who will be out 2-3 weeks, has yet to watch the video of the incident, but he knew right away it was bad.
"I was the third man back, it was a two-on-two, I think one of our guys got beat and they were taking the puck to the net and I kind of started crashing the net," White recalled. "Howie made a great save and I took the heel of his skate right at the top of the knee.
"It could have been a lot worse," White continued. "You have a tendon going right over your knee cap. It just missed it. I guess if I would have cut that I might have been the season. Lucky, if you will."

- How to Read a Study Record
Background: Treatment of HIV-1 infected Ugandan children with antiretroviral therapy (ART) is increasing but few prospective long-term studies evaluating the treatment process have been reported. In this study we sought to determine prospectively how consistent monitoring of HIV-1 RNA levels impacts the ART treatment process.
Methods: One hundred and eight children initiating ART were enrolled into this study. These children had comprehensive laboratory monitoring including HIV-1 RNA level determination and genotype analysis (where appropriate), CD4 % plus absolute counts, and safety laboratory measurements performed prior to starting therapy and at regular intervals after receiving ART. Kaplan-Meier statistics were used to examine predictors of survival and virologic failure. Viral genotype analysis was performed on samples obtained from children having virologic failure to determent the emergence of mutations.

Coffee Talk: Daniel Bryan and the Ties that Bind
by, 08-21-2013 at 11:03 PM (5925 Views)
Hey everyone. Savior here with another edition of Coffee Talk. This one is going to be a little different than usual. This one will have one main focus, and that's Daniel Bryan and the main storyline in WWE right now. That main storyline being reminiscent of the main storyline of the Attitude Era where Stone Cold had a long lasting rivalry with Vince McMahon. But, I'm sure everyone has seen SummerSlam and Monday Night Raw, so I don't need to do any recapping. This is going to be what I feel would fully maximise this storyline in the hopes that it's not just stop gap until Cena returns.
So grab your cup of joe, latte, steamer...yada yada yada...you all know it by now, and let's enjoy some Coffee Talk!
So as the title suggests, this will be about the Ties that Bind. So what do I mean when I say that? Well, that's what this blog is about.
Daniel Bryan is currently facing insurmountable odds. He has to chase Randy Orton for the title, all while Orton has the endorsement of HHH and the McMahons. I'm not sure it's a foregone conclusion but The Shield looks to be playing a part in this as well. That's quite the stable with the McMahon backing. How can Daniel possibly win this battle? The obvious and popular idea is that he creates a stable of his own. I do agree with this but after reading some ideas on the forum, I have to disagree with the direction that suggests guys like CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler be a part of it. I've also read a lot of Big Show and Mark Henry involvement. My thought is this. If you want this storyline be something memorable and legendary, you gotta go much MUCH bigger than Ziggler and Mark Henry. So, here's what I propose...and I'm not taking anything into consideration, and am only basing this off of what i think would be nothing short of special.
So the Ties that Bind. The meaning behind that is that what I'm proposing are people and situations with ties to one, two, or all three focal points of this storyline. Bryan, Orton, and HHH. So, we know that early in Bryan's pursuit of professional wrestlng, he trained under HBK himself, Shawn Michaels. Obviously Shawn Michaels has ties to HHH, and even though they're friends and Shawn always has his back, he's also voiced his displeasure on more than one occasion to HHH about his life as a suit. He can't be happy with the way HHH was a sell-out and underhanded in giving Orton the title. That would be a great addition to the storyline. HBK coming to get Daniel Bryan's back.
The Ties that Bind. Who hates Vince McMahon's dirty tactics of doing business more than his wonderful wife, Linda McMahon. She's the CEO of WWE. She gives Daniel Bryan a political ally in this whole thing. How many times has Vince screwed Austin, just for Austin to align himself with Linda and get an edge somehow. I know she runs for office and all that, but like I said, I'm not taking other factors into consideration here. And while we're at it. Many times, there were TWO McMahon allies for Austin. So, bust out a little, "Here Comes the Money", and bring Shane in a few times as well to mix things up.
The Ties that Bind. Let's top off this little faction to battle The Corporation with the one man who knows more about battling with Vince McMahon than anyone else. The Rattle Snake himself, Stone Cold Steve Austin. I can picture it now. Daniel Bryan is in his third straight week of a Shield beating after constantly being forced into handicapped matches and stuff. He fights valiantly but the numbers game is too much. Suddenly, the Glass Shatters. Two stunners and a running Daniel Bryan running dropkick later, the Shield heads for the hills and HHH and the McMahons watch from the stage and stare in disbelief. I'm confident that there's not a single person reading this who wouldn't get goosebumps if this happened.
So let's put his all together. The New Corporation, which comprises of Randy Orton, the WWE Champ, The Shield, HHH, Stephanie, Vince McMahon, and the Raw GM, Brad Maddox. There's a lot of power and political power and corruption there. Way too much for the "YES" man to handle on his own. If he gets Dolph Ziggler and Show and Henry, well, that's underwhelming and really doesn't give Daniel Bryan a chance at gaining an edge. Besides, I think it's better to not have other piggy back on Daniel Bryan's success. So, it's only logical for Daniel to surround himself with people who can give him an advantage in some situations. How do we play this all out?
Let's say, Night of Champions, The Shield screws Bryan out of win. The next night on Raw, HHH and company are in the ring bragging, saying Daniel will never get another shot at the title...the crowd yelling "NO! NO! NO!". There's no other real logical contender for the title at this time, so they gotta keep Daniel in this thing. He comes out. HHH verbally humiliates him again but Daniel just smirks. McMahon gets mad and yells, "What are you smirking at?". Daniel stands aside and out comes Linda McMahon. Fill in the blanks on the rest. Board of Directors this, abuse of power that...etc.
Another week or two goes by and The New Corporation find ways around Linda's threats. Orton is chased out of the building by Bryan and later, Bryan is cutting a promo and HHH interrupts and comes down to the ring. They mouth off and The Shield's music starts. They don't show up though. Suddenly, HBK's music hits and out he comes to confront HHH. HBK slaps HHH, Daniel Bryan punches him a few times, and HHH turns right around into a SuperKick. Raw ends with them celebrating. Bryan is still the focal point of all of this, not being overshadowed by anyone.
There's a lot of possibilities here that will make the storyline interesting and keep Daniel Bryan as the focal point. Hell, there are others that can be brought in, such as Mick Foley, who's had his issues, with The McMahons, HHH, and Orton, and is also Austin's friend. Bring Jim Ross in, who's had plenty of crossings with McMahon and then Jerry Lawler can join his side and there's a rift being caused at the announce table between JBL, who's all for this HHH/Orton union, and King, with Cole as the mediator. The extent this storyline can go is endless, and it wouldn't really involve too many other of today's stars getting involved. The Shield can handle their business with Show and Henry, and maybe even Ambrose and Ziggler can feud since it's pretty clear Ziggler is out of the title picture for now. But Shield's feuds can be separate from this storyline as they play enforcers.
So what do you guys think. This storyline is just kicking off and I'm hoping it's not a stop gap while Cena's away. I'm hoping this isn't just a way to lead to Cena and Orton over who's the face of the company. That is my fear.
Well, my cup of joe is now finished. I hope you enjoyed this edition of Coffee Talk. I'd love to hear your ideas on how this storyline can progress moving forward.
Thanks for reading everyone. Be Safe!

Now that we've got the quarterly reports of the "big three" integrated U.S. oil companies, it's a good time to take a quick look at where Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and ConocoPhillips (COP) are and where we might want to invest in this mega-cap space.
If you're a steady reader of my columns, you know where I concentrate my efforts in parsing differences between the majors and in fact among all of the large-cap oil companies: in volume growth. Of course, my advantage is in bringing in the commodity outlook that few analysts can. The first driver of share price is clearly the crude price, and in other columns I've made clear that I believe we've seen the lows in oil prices for 2013, so we must look at energy as an overweight holding for our investing.
So there's a positive cycle in which a $100-and-higher crude price is affecting oil companies. Our job is to find the companies that have the most promising volume growth for 2013 and going forward.
In the three majors, we have an interesting mix of projects and some clear winners.
Conoco may represent the least compelling story of the three right now. It reported in line but guided lower on production for 2013 to growth of 3% to 7%. Its costs for finding and production are rising faster than anyone else's, and it's hard to list a new exciting project to drive its volume growth even past 2013. Despite its leading 4.5% dividend, it's the one I like the least.
Chevron also ultimately disappoints me, at least as a place I want to be in 2013. Its production for the fourth quarter of 2012 was stellar, and its margin on every barrel of crude it produces is better than that of any other major out there. Still, Chevron's growth for 2013 will be below what was expected, and its costs seem to be rising as well. All of the exciting projects that would grow volume are slow to be realized for 2013 -- Frade offshore in Brazil, Kitimat in British Columbia, the Angola liquefied natural gas project, Chinese projects -- all of these won't likely affect volumes until later in 2014. That's perhaps when I'd want to invest in them.
Finally, we have No. 1 – Exxon Mobil. This one has by far been my favorite of the U.S. majors for quite a while, and it had a great report for the fourth quarter, increasing production a stunning 8.4%. Its aggressive move into chemicals and liquids is paying off, and even downstream refining is making better money, although its assets are not in the best places to replicate the really fabulous results of the mid-continental and PADD 2 refiners. And the strongest new project in Canadian sands in Alberta, the Kearl project, is finally ready to go online. Add to this my belief that President Obama will approve the Keystone pipeline in March, and Kearl looks like the most exciting project around (estimated 4.2 trillion barrels!). At $90, Exxon is the best buy of the three, still.
And yet, even Kearl isn't enough to get me to add to my very long-term position in Exxon Mobil. I've talked about other oil exploration-and-production companies that I believe are even more exciting for 2013, considering their current share prices. If you're starting a position in what I believe will be a very, very good year for energy shares, that's an even better place to be than in any one of the big three.

First Inland Paddling Trail Opens in Luling
Luling, Texas — A long-forgotten landmark, a peaceful stretch of river and a 25-acre parcel of highway right-of-way were celebrated today as city and state officials officially opened the Luling Zedler Mill Paddling Trail.
The six-mile route on the San Marcos River between U.S. Hwy 90 and the historic Zedler Mill in Luling is the state's first inland paddling trail and offers canoeists and kayakers a safe, well-mapped route with convenient access and parking.
It may also bring an economic boost to this small town just off IH-10 east of San Antonio and south of Austin. To increase local tourism appeal, Luling residents, the city government and the local economic development corporation have come together to restore and redevelop the historic Zedler Mill (built in 1874) near the city's existing nine-hole golf course.
"We organized a town meeting inviting anybody who wanted to know what was happening at the mill or wanted to be part of it to come out," said Randy Engelke, City of Luling parks and recreation director. About 100 people showed for that first meeting and soon there was consensus on what Luling's waterfront would one day look like.
"What came to the top was a museum — whether a working museum or a static display. A restaurant was high on the list," Engelke said. "An amphitheater and open-air pavilion were two of the next top ideas. We're planning on building a stage and a boat dock right on the river. The boat dock can be used for portage around the mill, or to stop and eat."
"This paddling trail is a model public-private partnership we're looking to replicate around the state," said Philip Montgomery, Texas Parks and Wildlife Commissioner from Dallas, who has taken a personal interest in the concept of paddling trails in Texas. "Having a unique piece of Texas history in the Zedler Mill matched with the natural resources of the San Marcos River gives this first river paddling trail an outstanding mix of tourism features."
Randy Worden, executive manager of business development and resource management for the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority, said promoting economic development in the communities within its boundaries is part of the GBRA mission.
The river authority put up some of the money for the purchase of the mill property and has assisted the city in obtaining grants.
"It's been one of our dreams to establish a series of paddling trails along both the Guadalupe and San Marcos rivers for some time. This project opened the door, and with Parks and Wildlife's desire to have some inland trails, it's just the most opportune time," Worden said.
Local companies will provide canoe and kayak rentals and shuttle services between the paddling trail take-out at the Zedler Mill and the put-in at a new city park on U.S. Hwy. 90 six miles upstream. The city will maintain the put-in and take-out locations (parking is free), and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is providing interpretive materials, signs and promotion of the paddling trail.
"The impetus behind this was just a growing interest in canoeing and kayaking," said Melissa Parker, a TPWD river conservation coordinator. "People wanted to know, 'where can we go? Where can we take the family?'"
Parker admitted that — with more than 3,700 named streams and 15 major rivers — it's not hard to find a place to paddle in Texas.
"The thing about this is the community is behind it and there will be some amenities to come at the site," she said. "You'll know what to expect. The traps have been run and you're welcome here."
Bob Spain, a TPWD coastal conservation coordinator and veteran of the Texas Water Safari (the annual endurance paddling race uses this stretch of the San Marcos for part of its route), said one of the greatest benefits of having a designated paddling trail is that it introduces people to Texas' rivers and riparian habitats.
"From our perspective, one of the things we think paddling trails do is encourage people to get out there and taste the resource," Spain said. "Most people don't realize how pretty these streams are. It's just one more way to get people out here to enjoy the resource."
TPWD is seeking community partners who are interested in establishing new paddling trails. Additional information and an application is available at Additional information and an application is available on the department Web site.

Francisco tests right elbow in throwing session
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Still eyeing Opening Day as a realistic possibility, Mets closer Frank Francisco tested his balky right elbow Monday with a series of throws off flat ground.
Francisco played catch with manager Terry Collins at the Mets' Port St. Lucie complex, throwing 25 times at distances up to 60 feet. It was Francisco's first throwing session since doctors shut him down earlier this month with inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow; the closer is scheduled to throw again on Wednesday.
"It's a step forward, for sure," Collins said. "The swelling has subsided. The discomfort has subsided. And so now we've got to take these gradual baby steps as we get closer to getting him back to where he needs to be.
"We've got five weeks. We've still got a lot of time."
The Mets have already announced that if Francisco is not ready to pitch on Opening Day, Bobby Parnell will open the season at closer. With a strong spring, Parnell could earn the job even if Francisco is healthy.

Child Care
- Tax implications of child support payments
- When your child has special needs
As the parent of a child with special needs, you can get reliable information and support from your doctor, parent groups, and both national and local agencies. Medicaid will probably pay for your child's medical care if he or she meets Supplemental Security Income requirements. By law, public schools must accept children with special needs and provide special education services. Be sure your child is taken care of after your death by naming a guardian in your will, and consider establishing a special needs trust to protect your child's eligibility for government benefits.

Crying babies, changing nappies and feeding are all going to become part of the daily routine for five schoolchildren.
Year 10 pupils at Royal Wootton Bassett Academy became parents over the weekend after taking on virtual babies.
The babies, provided by Mothers Unison, are dolls that act like real babies needing changing and feeding. They are connected to a computer that monitors actions over the weekend and shows how well, or badly, each pupil has done.
Linda Woodruffe, community officer at Royal Wootton Bassett School, said: "This gives the pupils a chance to experience what it is like to have the responsibility of having a baby.
"I think, being year 10, they are at the right age to see what it would be like and to ensure that they know what the challenge is of having a baby so young.
"The feedback we have got has been really good and the babies are very lifelike."
Fifteen-year-old Sasha Roberts took one of the babies home last weekend and had to balance her social life of dancing with caring for the child.
She said: "I got involved because I thought it is a good experience and wanted to try it out and see what it is like.
"I've got a 12-week-old sister so I know what it is like but wanted the experience for myself.
"I had to take the baby to dance classes with me, which was a challenge."
Joné Minor, 15, said: "I think I am going to become attached to it and not want to give it back.
"My mum has said that she will help out and I think it is a good idea to see just how much work is required in bringing up a baby."
Astrid Lawrence, a member of the Royal Wootton Bassett branch of Mothers Unison, said that it was good to show young people the challenges of being a parent.
She said: "We asked the school whether they would be interested and then we came along and explained what we do and it has been a real success.
"The babies are very realistic and give the students the experience of parenting and the right things to do."
