After a day of wild finishes and fantastic plays, we finally have our first big upset, thanks to Ed Orgeron and the USC Trojans. A field goal in the final minute provided the winning points and Stanford now is no longer a BCS championship contender. Catch up on this game and the rest of the action on Sporting News' live scoreboard.
We saw Auburn set up a monster Iron Bowl by beating Georgia on a miracle 4th-and-18 play that went 73 yards for a touchdown off a tipped pass, Michigan State all but wrap up the Big Ten Legends Division title by beating Nebraska on the road, and Duke took a big step toward winning the ACC Coastal Division title by beating Miami.
What a day. What a night. What a country. Let's get to all the action.
Week 12 photos | Cheerleaders | 2013 upsets | Heisman Watch | Road to the Bowls
No. 1 Alabama 20, Mississippi State 7 (recap): You can bet Nick Saban didn't leap into AJ McCarron's arms after this one. The top-ranked Tide won at Starkville, but were flat in doing so. SN's Matt Hayes wrote that Auburn's late effort vs. Georgia won't cut it against Alabama in two weeks, but the Tide's effort won't cut it against the Tigers, either.
No. 2 Florida State 59, Syracuse 3 (recap): Seminoles wrapped up a perfect ACC season and will represent the Atlantic Division in the league's title game. Jameis Winston played well despite this week's news where his name came up in a sexual assault allegation.
No. 3 Ohio State 60, Illinois 35 (recap): The Buckeyes need style points to impress the BCS voters, but allowing 35 points to the Illini is not the way to do that. OSU very well could fall from the No. 3 spot in the rankings.
No. 4 Baylor 63, Texas Tech 34 (recap): The Red Raiders hung around early with some points of their own, but the Bears proved too much behind Bryce Petty's three TD tosses and two scoring runs. Baylor stays in the thick of the BCS title hunt and gets a big test next Saturday when it travels to Oklahoma State.
USC 20, No. 5 Stanford 17 (recap): Talk about turnarounds. Look at what the Trojans have done under interim coach Ed Oregeron. USC stunned the Cardinal, who derailed Oregon's BCS title hopes.
No. 6 Oregon 44, Utah 21 (recap): Ducks regroup after their loss to Stanford, but they're still just the second-best team in the Pac-12 North.
No. 7 Auburn 43, No. 25 Georgia 38 (recap): Auburn blew a 20-point lead but got a fortuitous bounce to set up a monstrous Iron Bowl. Ricardo Lewis' 73-yard TD reception off a tipped pass gives the Tigers the win. Auburn will now play Alabama for the SEC West title in two weeks.
HAYES: It was fun, but that effort won't get Auburn a 'W' against No. 1 Tide
No. 8 Clemson 55, Georgia Tech 31 (recap): Tigers have a layup vs. the Citadel before playing South Carolina in Columbia in the season finale. That should be fun.
No. 11 South Carolina 19, Florida 14 (recap): It was more difficult than expected, but the Gamecocks survived Saturday night against a determined Gators team playing with a quarterback making his first start. But a win is a win and Steve Spurrier will take it against his alma mater.
No. 12 Oklahoma State 38, No. 23 Texas 13 (recap): Cowboys' rout knocks Longhorns from ranks of unbeatens in Big 12 play. OSU took control courtesy of Justin Gilbert's INT returned for a 43-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and it never looked back. Cowboys will face Baylor next week in what could be the Big 12 title game.
No. 13 UCLA 41, Washington 31 (recap): Bruins finish with games against Arizona State and USC. Win both of those, and it wins the Pac-12 South for a second straight season.
No. 14 Michigan State 41, Nebraska 21 (recap): With this win, Spartans all but wrap up the Big Ten Legends Division title.
No. 15 UCF 39, Temple 36 (recap): The Owls were 1-8 coming in, and yet they pushed the Knights to the final minute. Rannell Hall's 64-yard reception set up Shawn Moffitt's 24-yard field goal at the buzzer. Knights still in position to earn American's BCS bid if they win their final three games.
WATCH: Did you see J.J. Worton's incredible TD catch for UCF?
No. 17 Wisconsin 51, Indiana 3 (recap): Badgers rack up 552 rushing yards and finish with games at Minnesota and at home vs. Penn State. Sounds like a 10-win season.
No. 19 Louisville 20, Houston 13 (recap): The Cardinals are in position to take the American crown should UCF somehow slip up in its final three games. Saturday's win wasn't easy though as the Cougars gave Louisville all sorts of fits.
No. 20 Northern Illinois 48, Ball State 27 (recap): Huskies still in play for a second straight BCS appearance, but they'll have to jump Fresno State in the rankings to get that chance.
No. 21 Arizona State 30, Oregon State 17 (recap): The Sun Devils maintained their lead in the Pac-12 South with a workmanlike. They're well on their way, leading 30-17 in the fourth quarter.
No. 22 Oklahoma 48, Iowa State 10 (recap): Thirty-eight unanswered points in the second half put this game pointed in the Sooners' favor. Cyclones still winless in Big 12 play. Is it time for Paul Rhodes to start worrying about his job?
Duke 48, No. 24 Miami 30 (recap): Imagine this: If the Blue Devils beat Wake Forest and North Carolina in their final two games, they will play Florida State in the ACC title game. W-O-W.

Bentley, formerly known as Bentley Prince Street, has revealed a comprehensive new branding strategy that reflects the company's return to its original name and celebrates its heritage as a Los Angeles-based manufacturer.
"Bentley's new visual identity reflects the enduring and timeless characteristics for which the Bentley brand is known, while also incorporating elements of craftsmanship and innovation," says Ralph Grogan, who was named president and CEO earlier this year.
The new branding elements will be formally introduced at NeoCon, held from June 10-12 in Chicago. The branding elements will be supported by an advertising campaign that features photography of iconic Los Angeles architecture. The company's new showrooms in Chicago—a 3,500-square-foot showroom located at the Kinzie Design Center and a 950-square-foot showroom in the Merchandise Mart—have been redesigned to mirror the brand shift. Propp & Guerin, a leading graphics firm in San Francisco, provided the artistic direction for Bentley's new visual identity.
According to Grogan, the entire branding process was powered by the strength of the Bentley heritage.
"I think it is a tribute to the enduring culture of the Bentley brand that most of the leadership team here today were part of Bentley at some point in the past, and now they have returned to help restore this company to its position as an entrepreneurial enterprise and design leader," he says. "People want to be a part of this."

Quest Diagnostics Could Be Your Golden Lab
The 2014 implementation of Obama Care should provide major stimulus for the overall volume of lab work as at least 30 million people become newly covered patients. Industry leader Quest Diagnostics (DGX) is likely to be a big beneficiary.
Quest shares took a big stumble last week after Q4 earnings and revenue came in light. Management claims 6 cents of the fourth quarter disappointment was non-recurring and caused by business lost due to Hurricane Sandy. The stock has retreated from an all-time peak of $64.87 last October. Quest was $62 as recently as Jan. 18. Quest closed at $58.26 Tuesday, an area of solid technical support. The shares got as low as $57.03 intraday....323 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Growing up, I always thought coffee cake was named as such because you needed a swig of milky coffee to choke a dry slice down. Had I tried Sugar Sweet Sunshine's version ($3.50 for a slice, $35 for a nine-inch bundt) earlier, I might have thought otherwise.
It's a rich butter cake with a neat but coarse crumb, not dry but not oily either, which means I'm happy taking it with or without any coffee at all. As a change-up from Sugar Sweet Sunshine's cupcakes and trifles, it's not too sweet either.
Coffee cake lovers have already noticed what this cake lacks: a fat bed of crumbs on top, the only part of the cake many bother to eat. This version replaces with sugary topping with a restrained swirl of gooey cinnamon and nuts, a move that enhances the cake, not just makes apologies for it.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In a special Father's Day episode of Mad Money Friday, Jim Cramer opined on the state of the market while fighting continues in Iraq.
It's creating a "tug-of-war" in the stock market, he said, because companies continue to announce positive news despite the negative geopolitical issues in the Middle East.
Because the market hates uncertainty, it is prone to selloffs due to negative headlines. It could also sell off if crude oil prices spike higher or if the President comments on the situation. For this reason, Cramer is "happy to sit on the sidelines until we get a little more clarity."
He suggested that investors consider taking profits on some of their big winners and wait for a larger pullback before buying as he detailed next week's game plan.
On Monday the May industrial production number will be released. Cramer says the result may be better than many investors expect, as autos, aerospace and oil and gas all did well in the past month.
Tuesday will see the May housing starts report. This is a sector that Cramer said he is nervous about and, judging by the lack of mortgage applications the bounce in homebuilder stocks is unlikely to come.
Wednesday is the "big day of next week," Cramer said, with the Federal Reserve set to comment on the current state of the economy. He thinks the Fed should stop buying bonds and start selling them. Meanwhile, FedEx (FDX) is scheduled to report earnings that same day. While Cramer doesn't care for the stock much at current levels, he said the conference call can be a valuable source for a read on the global economy.
Thursday is Rite-Aid (RAD) and Kroger (KR) reporting earnings. Investors who are not long Rite Aid should wait until after its earnings results before considering buying the stock. Kroger, he hopes, will provide a read on the natural and organic food market and perhaps even provide clues as to which supermarket company will be next to be taken over. He's also taking a "wait and see" attitude on Whole Foods Market (WFM).

Padres begin final interviews with GM candidates
Rangers assistant general manager Preller meets with team; three others expected to
SAN DIEGO -- The final round of interviews for the Padres vacant general manager position began on Monday when the organization had Rangers assistant general manager A.J. Preller back for a second interview.
Preller had his first interview with the team on July 7.
Team executive chairman Ron Fowler and CEO and team president Mike Dee expect to have Red Sox assistant general manager Mike Hazen, Yankees assistant general manager Billy Eppler and Kim Ng, senior vice president of baseball operations for Major League Baseball, back for second interviews.
Fowler said recently that he hopes to have a general manager hired by early August.
Preller is in his 10th season with the Rangers and has been one of general manager Jon Daniels' most trusted lieutenants. From 2010-13, he was in charge of the Rangers' professional, international and amateur scouting and helped rebuild the farm system.
The Padres are looking for a replacement for Josh Byrnes, who was dismissed by the team on June 22.
A total of eight candidates had initial interviews -- former Marlins general manager Larry Beinfest, Dodgers vice president of amateur scouting Logan White, D-backs scouting director Ray Montgomery, Eppler, Preller, Hazen, Padres assistant general manager Josh Stein and Ng.
Six candidates declined to be interviewed, the latest being current Padres assistant general manager A.J. Hinch, who is presiding over the day-to-day operations of the big league team.
The five others who declined interviews: David Forst of the A's, Mike Chernoff of the Indians, Jason McLeod of the Cubs, Michael Girsch of the Cardinals and Padres senior vice president of baseball operations Omar Minaya.
Forst, Chernoff and Girsch are assistant general managers. McLeod, who previously worked for the Padres, is the Cubs' scouting director.

Creating Fancy Checkmark Icons with Pure CSS3
I was recently working on a personal project where I wanted to implement some cool "checkmark" icons like you see at left to spice up my unordered lists. I could've done it quite easily with the list-style-image property, but I was trying to keep my images and http requests to a minimum, so I wanted to figure out another way to do it (plus, the challenge sounded kind of fun).
I had just seen Nicolas Gallagher's awesome pure css social media icons, though, and I thought, "If he can do that, than I could certainly create a simple check icon with just css3″. I did figure it out with some experimenting and testing, and today I'm going to show you how to achieve the same effect.

On the lookout for new sources of revenue, a substantial number of banks have begun offering payday loans to account holders.
But whether it's called a payday loan or a "direct deposit advance," these products can be financially risky for borrowers, even at mainstream banks, according to a new study by the Center for Responsible Lending.
The way the product works is simple. The bank deposits an advance into a borrower's checking account, then automatically withdraws the amount when the funds come due, plus fees. In practice, they can really complicate the financial lives of borrowers.
According to the study, banks charge an average flat fee of $7.50 to $10 per $100 borrowed. When you take into account that the average loan term is 12 days, those fees amount to an annual percentage rate of 225 percent to 300 percent, according to the study. That's actually an improvement over last year's study, when all the banks surveyed charged $10 per $100.
But while the loans are pricey, the toughest thing for borrowers is that the loans come due as a balloon payment, meaning the bank takes the entire principle in one lump sum the next time the borrower gets a direct deposit. That often leaves the borrower strapped for cash again, leading to more borrowing. According to the report, the average payday borrower took out 13 1/2 loans in 2011, with 8 percent of borrowers taking out 36 or more.
Use if these loans also can lead to overdraft fees, as the repayments are taken out of borrowers' accounts automatically.
Put all that together, and you have a recipe for pushing borrowers into a long-lasting financial tailspin that may end in borrowers being reported to a credit bureau such as ChexSystems and being pushed out of the banking system altogether.
Payday loans have long been controversial, and many states have rules about how much interest they can charge and other aspects of their business. It's also possible the federal government may step in at some point to curtail the practice. This year, a group of senators called on banks to stop making payday loans, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said last year it will be taking a close look at the entire payday lending industry.
Whether or not the payday loans should be legal is a more difficult issue than it appears on the surface. Obviously, borrowers should know beforehand that payday loans are extremely expensive and a last resort for emergencies only.
To their credit, some banks make this clear to borrowers. From an FAQ on Wells Fargo's website:
The Direct Deposit Advance service is an expensive form of credit. A cash advance under another form of revolving credit, such as a credit card, is typically less expensive than the Direct Deposit Advance service, if the cash advance is repaid promptly. However, if you have no other credit available to you, and you face an immediate, short-term need for funds, the Direct Deposit Advance service may help you through that situation. We do not recommend regular, repeated use of the Direct Deposit Advance service. If you find yourself in that situation, we encourage you to seek credit counseling (many agencies can be found in your local telephone book) and explore other credit options.
But there will always be people who need access to quick cash to pay medical bills or meet some kind of crucial short-term need, who don't have access to more affordable forms of credit because of a troubled credit history or other factors. If payday loans are outlawed, it's likely at least a portion of those consumers will seek short-term credit at pawnshops or title lenders, which charge similar rates, or from loan sharks who may charge higher rates and do just about anything to ensure borrowers pay up.
What do you think? Should payday loans be outlawed? Should payday lenders have more limits on how they do business?

Liverpool ease to win in tour opener
Liverpool got their pre-season tour off to a winning start as goals from Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling handed them a comfortable 2-0 win over an Indonesia XI in Jakarta.
- Highlights (UK, Ireland, Pac)
Brendan Rodgers' men go to Australia to face Melbourne Victory on Wednesday and they will then round off their tour with a game in Thailand on July 28 before playing a series of European friendlies.
Coutinho opened the scoring as he attempted to find new signing Luis Alberto but the ball ended up back at his feet, allowing the Brazilian to slot home underneath goalkeeper Kurnia Meiga.
Stewart Downing then brought a save out of the stopper before Alberto hit the post. And he was not to be the only newcomer to trouble the woodwork as Iago Aspas hit the bar before the break.
Simon Mignolet did well to save a long-range effort from Sergio Van Dijk but the Reds should have gone two up as Coutinho put a great chance over the bar.
Multiple substitutions came in the last half-hour and Sterling hit the bar twice soon after being introduced. But he was not to be denied in the 88th minute as he side-footed into an empty net after some good work from Oussama Assaidi and Jordon Ibe.

Just listining to Grady and Big Joe and MG says there is a big announcement tomorrow at 2pm about a huge improvement to the Fieldhouse any guesses?
So excited, they never do things like this, it's gotta be good. They never announced when they changed the court so I think it's got to be bigger than that, and the name just changed so we know its not that.
New, bigger Jumbo tron?
Fan section for activites inside the fieldhouse? (Like at Great American Ballpark for Reds games)
I'm assuming this means we're replacing the jumbotron.
I've heard they've had conceptual plans for this for years. Should have full high def screens and a lot more LED displays for advertisements. I think at one point (hopefully this is still the case) the plan was to replace the clocks on each corner with LEDs that displayed a replica of the clocks in LED animated form while giving them the ability to either play with the clocks, change them, or perhaps temporarily display something else.
Time for that Reggie statue!
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
I played on the practice court about a month ago and the employee that got us access said that they were replacing the scoreboard. The description he used was that it was going to be "a scaled down version of the one in Cowboys stadium". Don't know how that would work, or look, but it's good to see it upgraded.
This would be awesome.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
This is my hope too. I really want a new jumbotron. When we go to Milwaukee even though the Bradley center is a dump. I always envy those huge HD jumbotrons they have.
My ears can only hope.
Statues for Reggie and Slick hopefully.
I hope they get free wifi.
But a new HD set of screens would be great. Wonder how it would affect the sightlines in the upper section if they make it bigger?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I hadn't thought about Wifi. That would be great if it actually worked well. My cell phone signal is usually garbage when I'm inside the Fieldhouse; makes it very frustrating when I want to read/post on Twitter.
Is it the sound system or just the building? or the combination of both.
I've noticed it is fine if you are in the lower level, but when you get into the balcony and even the club level it is horrible.
Definitely hoping for a new sound system. Hopefully they make the Best Locker Room larger as well. It is just too tight right now during well attended games. This is another where the crap can that is the Bradley Center is able to beat our Taj Mahal to basketball and that needs to change. The Bucks have a huge restaurant/bar/gathering area for courtside/lower level folks. The Best Locker Room is honestly unpleasant at half time just no space to move.
#@randomfan tweet: Just went to get a beer at the concession stand. Spilled it on the way back. Going to get another one. Anybody know the score?
That makes me nuts!
Aw well, to each their own.
I heard they are removing the seats in sections 207-210 to create a standing-room only area complete with a 70s style disco stage and stripper poles.
Danger Zone
i hear they're adding in carnival games for the kiddos. i'm looking forward to Whack-An-O'Brien.
I hope not GABP is my least favorite ballpark for that reason. When I go to a baseball game I want to watch baseball too many stupid games and a play ground that affects the viewing experince for me im kind of old school in that way I am at Wrigley for the Astros series and this is how baseball show be. (other than the fact we suck and so do the Astros Old Yankee stadium was my favorite ball park out of the 12 I have seen a game in Wrigley is 2 favorite.
I have heard the same thing about the jumbotron for a few months.
But what about TVs around the Fieldhouse? Outdated and some don't even work.
BLF is way too impressive to have such blurry, clunky eye sores everywhere.
Wrigley is awesome in the whole, is this place going to collapse around me and kill thousands of people kind of way.

There are so many multi-vitamins out there. And since they are not regulated by the FDA, how do I know which vitamins are safe and which ones are not? I purchased a multi-vitamin from a health food store that read as follows: Vitamin A(palmitate) 10,000 iu, Vitamin A (beta carotene) 7,000 iu, Vitamin B-1 75mg, Vitamin B-2 75 mg, Vitamin B-6 75 mg, Vitamin B-12 75 mcg, Manganese 6.1 mg, RNA 50mg, Rutin 25mg,choline 30 mg, inositol 75 mg, para amino benzoic acid 75 mg,citrus bio flavonoids 25 mg, Hesperidin complex 5 mg, betaine hydrochloride 25 mg,and you get my point. How do I know if what I am taking is safe? How do I go about shopping for multi vitamins? Thanks

A trucker who dragged a fellow lorry driver from his burning cab has told of the moment he sprang into action on a motorway.
Mark Hancock, from Steeton, saw a plume of black smoke pouring from an articulated lorry which had careered off the carriageway and down a steep embankment near the junction of M62 and M180 motorways in East Yorkshire.
With the driver was still inside, the cab came to a rest just feet from a canal and the cargo of fertiliser erupted into an intense fire.
Despite the risk, Mr Hancock led rescue efforts and helped to haul the injured driver through a window as part of the cargo exploded just feet away.
Other motorists then carried the man away to safety.
Mr Hancock, who works for Halifax heavy haulage firm Collett, said: "As I came off the M62 I could see a cloud of black smoke. I stopped my vehicle and looked down. I couldn't believe what I saw.
"Everything was on fire except the cab which was detached. I thought no way was anyone going to survive that but then suddenly I saw a hand come out of the window.
"I rushed across the motorway and down the embankment. I saw the driver – he was lying across the cab. He was shouting at me, 'Get me out of here, get me out of here'. I think he could feel the heat,
"He was a really big bloke. I couldn't have moved him on my own so I was fortunate I was soon joined by two more chaps."
A group of five rescuers eventually hauled the driver clear of the cab and moved him away from danger. It is believed he escaped with a broken shoulder and cuts and bruises.
Mr Hancock's boss, Phil Sutcliffe, praised his actions.
He said: "He's one of our top drivers. He's a great ambassador for our company. It's tremendous what he's done. He's a very quiet and reserved individual. We're very proud of him and he deserves some recognition."
It is believed the crash on May 8 was caused by a blow out on one of the lorry tyres and resulted in massive traffic disruption.

If you're a regular reader of this column, you've probably noticed that we've featured plenty of pumpkin desserts over the last few weeks. We looked at pumpkin soufflé, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin black and white cookies, and even pumpkin ice cream. I hope you're not sick of pumpkin yet, because I've got a few more on the way, starting with today at Maison Kayer.
The Pumpkin Paris Brest ($5.75) is a decidedly non-traditional choux pastry. For one thing, the filling is more of a lightly sweetened pumpkin purée than any kind of pastry cream, whipped cream, or custard. That means the pumpkin flavor is front and center, enhanced by ginger and cinnamon. There's also at least four times as much pumpkin purée as choux pastry, a lopsided ratio for any pastry.
The top of pastry features a layer of crushed almonds and powdered sugar, adding some balancing sweetness to this otherwise restrained dessert.

LONG BEACH, Calif.- The shooting at a Southern California federal building of a high-ranking Immigration and Customs Enforcement official was over an unspecified disciplinary matter, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press Friday.
Authorities haven't elaborated what led to Thursday's shooting at the Glenn M. Anderson Federal Building in Long Beach, but apparently it was over a dispute between the gunman and the wounded man, said the person who requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
A law enforcement official also told the AP that the person wounded is a high-ranking ICE official and the agent who was killed was a subordinate who did not report directly to the man he shot. The official also requested anonymity because of a lack of authorization to release details.
A third agent intervened and shot the gunman to prevent more rounds being fired at the victim, the FBI said.
The gunman died at the scene and the wounded agent was hospitalized at St. Mary Medical Center. ICE Special Agent in Charge Claude Arnold would only say he was stable.
St. Mary's hospital trauma director James Murray told KCAL-TV that the injured agent had multiple gunshot wounds, but he didn't give details. The victim's vital signs were "good for now," Murray said.
The names of the dead gunman, the victim and the agent who fired the final rounds were not released.
The shooting happened just before 6 p.m. Thursday on the seventh floor of the Glenn M. Anderson Federal Building in Long Beach, about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
It was described by the FBI's Steven Martinez as a case of "workplace violence involving two federal agents in their office space." He offered no other details about what led to the initial shooting
There were conflicting early reports about the number of people shot, with local authorities saying two were dead and one wounded, while ICE said one was dead and one wounded.
The Long Beach federal building houses ICE, the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Probation and Parole Office.
"At times like this, words honestly seem inadequate. When something like this happens in our offices, it's incomprehensible," Arnold said.
Along with the FBI, the shooting was being investigated by ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility and Long Beach police.

A little interlude from my interesting past
I am going back now to an incident in my history when I was a student at Warwick University. It was considered in terms of the student body to be a rebellious and a revolutionary body, there was the famous occupation of 1969, and the occupation of 1975, still recorded as the longest in student history and I was part of that and so was Brian Deer. (Yes that one)
Well Brian Deer and his ignominious later career excepted I am taken back in my memory to a Christmas party in 75 I think. Earlier in the day I had been on a field trip organised by Lincoln Allison (now retired I believe) which included a little tour around those parts of Warwickshire I was well familiar with but my fellow politics students not being natives were not. Anyway forgetting the Dassets spattered with snow, and the journey back in a rickety car with a failing alternator (what is new there) I can recall ending up in one of those Victorian Villas in Leamington, inhabited by my personal tutor Prof. Malcolm Anderson. That was a curious situation because everybody was there, and it was there I met with General Yakubu (Jack) Gowon. This was indeed an odd situation because the student's union had vehemently protested against his presence at the University, yet this was a politics department party, and everybody was there, lefties included, protesters and all. (yeah me too)
How does a twenty year old rebel react to being face to face with a bogey such as Jack Gowon? Well it I don't know, I am glad I have never met George Dubya or Tony Blair because they might scare me.
There is much said about the banality of Evil and I can well ask is my MP a guy I know quite familiarly as Bob Ainsworth any more evil than Jack Gowon? Who has brought about the greatest body count? We just don't know do we? Bomber Harris of WW2 fame maybe, and where does that morality leave us?
For that matter before we heap on the guilt consider, you and I will never know our own body count when the final judgement comes. Should I never have eaten Cadbury's chocolate, and ought I not to bank with Barclay's you might guess the score....
I guess Jack Gowon was civil and a gentleman, how could I hate him? I cannot imagine what our encounter might have been in circumstances other than those in which we met. Never mind that you cannot imagine in those days can you? I was dressed for a "civilised" party and I was wearing my combat fatigues, very Fidel Castro. I can recall Jack helping me on with my coat at the end of the party. He picked up my jacket and found it heavy and he said to me "what have you got in your pockets gold bars?" It makes you wonder doesn't it?
Apart from that I did have a keen political debate with him, he was at the time a Freshman and I was in my second year. That was an amazing debate that I recall, me a working class nobody talking to this guy who had headed a nation and been involved in a controversial war, and I lectured him about politics, and he listened and said that he had a lot to learn. In retrospect I didn't know a lot at all but there I was in conversation with an international pariah of the time and I was introducing him to new concepts he was not aware of as a de facto head of state. I mean what does that feel like, I was heavily into Hobbes at that time, very relevant.
Hey Jack where are you now? It is easy to write him off as a monster, but when I met him he was a human as anybody else, there was no aura of evil, if anything there was an aura of naievity. I cannot make a judgement and say he was/is any more evil than Tony Blair, or Colonel Gadaffi or Larry Arnold.
And where is he now? Well believe it or not he has been and is in the latter days involved in what would generally be considered humanitarian causes, so we might consider nobody is beyond redemption, hey even me.
I do not think by any means Jack Gowon was the most evil person I ever met, he may have been involved in decisions and acts that killed thousands, but your next door neighbour may be filled with a hate that given the opportunity would do as bad, is there really any moral difference?

I studied this a bit. I had to google to figure out who you were talking about. Makes one see that it is being in the right place at the right time that determines much of our lives. A leader, or a student. It's unbelievable that it is the same man. Yet you seemed to be at ease with that.
Forgive me, this has nothing to do with this particular blogpost, and I am ashamed to ask, but it is for my son, who is trying to write an essay.

Experimental Pronghorn Season Set to Open Saturday
AUSTIN — A new experimental hunting season in parts of the Texas Panhandle Sept. 28-Oct. 6 will allow landowners to control harvest of buck pronghorn on their properties. The experimental season will be in herd units 8, 17, and 25, which include portions of Dallam, Hartley, Sherman, Moore, Roberts, and Gray counties.
Under prior statewide regulations, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department determined the pronghorn harvest quota and issued permits directly to landowners. With the new pronghorn rules, landowners or their agents within selected pronghorn management units in the northeast and northwest Panhandle will determine the harvest quota and control buck pronghorn harvest on their property during the three-year pilot project. Hunters are reminded they must receive landowner permission to access their property.
The goal of the project is to simplify pronghorn hunting regulations and increase hunting opportunities in areas with stable populations. Wildlife officials will closely monitor pronghorn herds during the pilot project to ensure populations remain healthy.
Hunters are required to present the intact, unfrozen head of harvested pronghorn at a mandatory check station within 24 hours of harvest, so TPWD wildlife staff can collect essential biological information from the harvested animal. These data will be analyzed annually to make sure populations remain healthy. Check stations are at the following locations:
- In Dalhart, at the park off of Lake Drive. Check station is across from People's Church (1929 Apache Dr.). GPS coordinates of Dalhart check station (36.038269, -102.506358),
- In Pampa, at Chisum Ranch office (on Price Rd, south of HWY 152). GPS coordinates of Pampa check station (35.531080, -100.989493).
Check stations will be open through the 9-day season (Sept. 28 – Oct. 6 from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. and the following Monday (Oct. 7) 9 a.m. to noon.
A check station receipt will be given to each hunter to provide proof of compliance with the mandatory check station regulation. Hunters who harvest pronghorn outside the experimental area are also encouraged to bring their harvest in at the check stations to contribute biological data. Wildlife staff will age their harvest for free.
More information about the experimental pronghorn season is available online at tpwd.texas.gov/pronghorn.

Business News of Wednesday, 27 February 2013
Source: B&FT
Founder of the Apostle Safo Suaye Technology Research Centre (ASSTRC), Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo, has appealed to government to support his technology centre and enable him to create jobs for the people especially the youth.
He indicated that support from government would enable his institution to help more young people, including university students and graduates who have been making use of the practical training at his centre to realise their potentials in life.
Apostle Safo made this appeal during a visit to his Technology Centre at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region by the National Executive Council of the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
The visit was to find out how best the chamber can assist in respect to import duty exemption to cushion ASSTRC in its ambition to venture into commercial production of vehicles.
The President of GCCI, Dr. Seth Adjei Baah, noted that government needs to take immediate steps to make amends in this regard and address the issue to enhance total development of Ghana.
He called on Ghanaians to purchase and protect locally manufactured goods in order to help the economy broaden.
He assured Dr. Safo of the GCCI's support in achieving all these important goals of the company.
Apostle Safo was grateful to the delegation and said he does not seek any reward from his initiatives except to help his fellow Ghanaians and prove to the world that the Black man is also capable of great technological exploits.
Apostle Safo said he is giving free training to 550 students from universities, polytechnics and senior high schools across the country.
In the electrical section, a number of items were being designed including a power alternator and some cars on exhibition.
There were also television sets that could be switched on and off with a clap of one's hands.
Apostle Safo indicated that the centre has embraced commercial automobile production in an ambition to venture into an industry dominated by global economic giants.
He said he has already carried out successful experiment in the manufacture of a car that has no engine but moves only with the aid of solar-power battery.
"The purpose of such a vehicle would be to help the country save fuel, which could be used to power big trucks and for other industrial purpose," he explained.

And how do I know if I have a 1st or 2nd run Shock (sorry if I missed that info and question is redundant)?
I would definitely throw them some more and see if the distance gap narrows. I've had PDs that I could throw farther than the Volt in the field, but for fairway driver type golf lines on the course I find them pretty interchangeable. The yellow champystar PDs I've had in my bag the longest do not glide too well, so the MVP drivers are easily as long or longer than those are. Depending on what weights you are throwing the MVP drivers in, perhaps you should go lighter. So far I've been liking their drivers 172-173 more than the max weights.
If your Shock was similar to your Volt then it is probably an early one, if it was considerably more HSS and LSS then it is probably a newer one.

The board had invited two representatives from Mountain Justice to sit on a panel with them for the first half of the meeting. What the board didn't realize was that those same students were positioning themselves to grab the microphone and disrupt the proceedings. The chairman of the Board Investment Committee, Chris Niemczewski, was in the middle of delivering the opening PowerPoint presentation—which, incidentally, estimated the cost of divestment at $200 million over 10 years—when more than 100 student protesters burst into the room, waving signs and shouting.
One of the student panelists grabbed the microphone out of turn and handed it to a line of protestors who delivered speeches that condemned the "liberal script" in the name of "radical, emancipatory change" and "institutional transformation." Afterwards, my classmates defended their behavior because they were smashing "hegemonic power structures" and "flipping the power dynamic."
About 10 minutes after the takeover, I stood up and reminded the protesters that other members of the college were there to hear various perspectives. But rather than listen to what I had to say, the students began to shout and clap in unison, drowning out what I was saying. Professors sat silent in the audience. Neither Dean of Students Liz Braun, nor the college president, Rebecca Chopp, spoke up.

just starting out, suggestions please
I'm starting to lift seriously now and I'd like some advice on a routine to start bulking and basically converting some fat to muscle. I'm about 5'8" and between 140-145 and I'm thinking of doing Lower Body Monday and Thursday and Upper body Tuesday and Friday. This is what I was thinking:
(I also take NaNO Vapor pre-workout and Anabolic OD post-workout)
Legs, Core, Back: Monday and Thursday
Squats: 5x5
Leg Press: 3x8-10
Calf Machine: 3x15
Seated Row: 3x8-10
Lat Pulldown: 3x8-10
Core leg lifts: 3x10
*10 min run before, 10 min bike after
Arms, Chest
DB Curls: 5x5
Flat or Decline Bench:5x5
Hammer Curl: 5x5
Tricep Pushdown: 5x5 or 3x8-10
Shrugs: 5x5
Dips: 3x8-10
Pull ups: 3x5
*10 min bike before, 10 min run after
Once I'm in a little bit better shape I'm going to start doing HIIT on my off days.
My goals are to bulk up to about 160-165lbs and convert my gut to a pack which is basically the only fat on my body.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ok, you're about my height. I'm over 200 pounds. Doesn't sound like you have a lot of fat on your body, but just enough to hide the abdominals.
I'd say put on some muscle first, then trim down the waist.
You don't really need to train body parts twice a week. This may work ok for you though. Many folks get great gains just training a body part once a week.
I would keep the cardio light, just before your workout. You are just trying to get the muscles, joints, etc ready for a good workout. More intense cardio can take away from your main workout.
Also, I would separate out the cardio (after the weights) and throw it on a different day(s).
I'm sure there are some workouts already posted here. Check those out.
Here is basically my entire weight training workout (except I train on a 9 day "week" instead of 7, every 3 days, training my whole body in 9 days) as something to compare to:
*Monday (day 1 for me)
Incline 2 X 5-7
Flat DB press 2 X 5-7
Dips (lean forward) 2 X 5-7
Barbell curls 2 X 5-7
Dumbell curls 1 X 5-7
Smith Machine standing calve raises 3 X 10-12
*Tuesday (day 2 for me)
Squats 2 X 5-7
Lunges (barbell) 2 X 5-7
Dumbell press 2 X 5-7
Side laterals 1 X 10-12
Power cleans 2 X 5-7
*Friday (day 3 for me)
Barbell rows 2 X 5-7
Pull ups (medium grip) 2 X 5-7
Deadlifts 2 X 5-7
Close grip bench (not too close) 2 X 5-7
Push downs 1 X 5-7
Weighted crunches, using cable machine 2 X 10-12
Not sure of the name of this exercise, I sit on the end of a bench and raise my knees toward my chest, I put a dumbell between my feet 2 X 10-12
I know it doesn't seem like much, but that's sometimes all that's needed.
Thanks for the input thonaker. So if I'm doing like 1 or 2 sets of something, like with DB curls and tricep pushdowns, am I supposed to be basically going to my max with weight or like 75% or what? I'll try this workout starting tomorrow, and I'm just doing 3 days a week(M,T,F)?
Why start with something that intense? You'll probably see much faster results if you use the Rippetoe Starting Strength program. Search Rippetoe or go look in the personal journal section, myself and others have journals in there of how our SS program looks.
I think the program mentioned above is for a fairly advanced lifter and I think you could benefit more from a good simple program focusing on the big three.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think I'm on the right track.
*edit* I guess I should first ask how much you're lifting? If your numbers are already up there then maybe I'm wrong. I just assumed you were a newbie.
Yeah I'm a newbie to lifting but I did pretty physical work in a warehouse over the summer so I have that as an advantage. I never tried 5x5, I've always done like 3x8-10. With that said:
I bench like 3x10:75,95,115
DB Curl 3x10: 17.5,20,25
Squat 5x5: 90,110,130,150,160
Leg Press 3x10+1x8: 160,180,220,250
Calf Press?(machine) 4x12-15: 100,115,130,175
Shrugs 3x10-15: 25,30,35
Tricep Pushdown 4x8: 60,80,90,100
I don't know how that sounds for someone just starting out, but I feel like I'm getting a lot stronger pretty quickly and I realize that will slow down but I thought I'd add that. I also plan to start doing dead lifts because I've read how good they can be for you, but I feel like doing those without being taught properly could end up doing more harm than good. I'm going to the gym tomorrow so I'll try the Rippetoe routine and see how it works. Thanks for the input guys.
I think you can definately benefit from the SS program.
This is what my workout looks like. I train three times a week. You start with a weight you *know* you can do 3 sets of 5 reps using the same weight. You have to start pretty light and then when you complete all 15 reps then go up 5lbs next time. In the beginning you should be going up everytime for a while.
Oh ya, and EAT!
Workout A
Bench 3x5
Squats 3x5
Rows 3x5
Dips 3x10
Abs (various)
Workout B
Squats 3x5
Deads 1x5
Military Press 3x5
Pull ups 3x5

But if they are, this may not be the sexiest thing we could do, but it could theoretically work out very well for us.
We send the expiring contracts of Dunleavy and Foster to Denver.
We get Nene and Al Harrington.
Depending on how hot Denver is to move on, that may be enough, but expect our '11 First to be included.
Now no one is high on getting Al back for Round 3, but to me this is worth it because both could give us a lot more talent at the 4 and 5.
Nene becomes the long-sought "Player X" that can be a monster 4 next to Roy, and can easily play center himself.
Al isn't desirable, but since you have him, he's a great luxury item on your bench.
Next year, you could be looking at this:
Darren Collison and AJ Price holding down the point guard spot.
Danny Granger, Paul George, Brandon Rush, and Dahntay Jones at the wings.
Nene, Roy Hibbert, Tyler Hansbrough, Al Harrington, and possibly Josh McRoberts (he's a FA) up front.
Most nights, you start this:
Darren Collison
Brandon Rush (or Paul George if he's ready)
Danny Granger
Roy Hibbert
Combine that with a (God willing) new head coach/staff, and you really might have something here.
I think that's easily worth swallowing that horrible Harrington contract.

Mitcham footballer Josue Antonio has beaten almost 6,000 entrants to win a one-year professional contract with Swindon Town.
The 18-year-old defender won the Samsung Win A Pro Contract competition and will join the League One side for an intensive training boot camp session in the next few months.
Having made it through a series of regional trials and assessment days, as well as an 11-a-side final at Leyton Orient's Matchroom stadium last month, Antonio was one of two players from 5,700 hopefuls selected by Swindon manager Mark Cooper.
Antonio said: "It's great to have won a professional contract, I never thought I would get this far.
"I put in a lot of work and I was getting a lot of praise from the manager, I was thinking 'maybe he might pick me'.
"If I play my best this year I might be able to go on to do big things and get an extended contract for the club – that's my aim."
Cooper said: "I chose Josue because he is an extremely athletic young man with great physical stature for his age.
"He has a lot of potential for development."

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Guideline-based Pacing Therapy for Reflex Syncope
- syncope recurrence after PM implantation [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- syncope burden after PM implantation [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
|Study Start Date:
|January 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Background Divergence of opinion exists regarding the efficacy of cardiac pacing in patients affected by different forms of reflex syncope.
Severe syncope is defined when:
- it is perceived by patient that it alters his/her quality of life, and
- is unpredictable because occurs without, or with very short prodromes < 10 sec (thus exposing patients to risk of trauma) or, if preceded by prodromes, syncope recurs despite appropriate therapies (CPM or drugs).
Recurrent syncopes: at least 2 episodes during the last year (including the index episode) or 3 episodes during the last 2 years (including the index episode).
Suspected (undetermined) reflex syncope: the suspicion of reflex syncope is based on a history of uncertain syncope in the absence of (i) severe structural heart disease, significant ECG abnormalities, or rhythm disturbances; (ii) orthostatic hypotension; and (iii) non-syncopal causes of transient loss of consciousness.
Study protocol
- The eligible patients undergo firstly carotid sinus massage (according to the method of symptoms); if a diagnosis of cardioinhibitory carotid sinus syndrome (CI-CSS) is made, a pacemaker is implanted and follow-up immediately starts.
- If the carotid sinus massage is negative or vasodepressor, the patients undergo tilt table testing (with nitroglycerin or clomipramine drug challenge); if a diagnosis of VASIS 2B form is made, a pacemaker is implanted and follow-up immediately starts.
- If tilt table testing is negative or a form different from VASIS 2B is induced, the patients undergo ILR implantation. If a diagnosis of asystolic reflex syncope is made, a pacemaker is implanted and follow-up immediately starts.
End-points End-point of the study is syncope recurrence after pacemaker (PM) implantation. Syncope is defined as complete transient loss of consciousness. Pre-syncope is counted but it is not an end-point.
Primary end-points:
- Comparison of the time to first syncopal recurrence in CI-CSS and CI-TTT pts with PM and in control patients with ILR.
- Intra-patient comparison of the syncope burden in the year before and in the year following PM implant in all patients receiving a PM (CCS, TTT and ILR groups). Index syncope is not counted.
Follow-up One year after PM implantation for all enrolled patients for burden of syncope end-points Until the study end for time to first syncope recurrence end-points. Thus, the study ends one year after the enrollment of the last patient.
Study size Based on the sample size calculation the study will stop when 700 patients are enrolled.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|40 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Probability Sample
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients affected by severe, recurrent, certain or suspected (undetermined) reflex syncopes, aged ≥ 40 years.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Department of Public Safety says recent alcohol- and drug-fueled sex assaults in the state and across the country have prompted them to call on bystanders to intervene.
The department is urging every Ohioan who thinks they may be witnesses such a crime to call police, and if safely able to do so, intervene.
The department reminds residents that sexual assailants often use alcohol and drugs as weapons to help take advantage of their victims.
The department also reminds residents that it's illegal to have sex with a person who is unwilling or unable to consent because they're drunk or on drugs.
Department Director John Born says "one sexual assault in Ohio is one too many."

Hot summer weather isn't far off. Kansas State dairy specialist Mike Brouk says there are several things dairy producers can do now to help avoid summer slump in milk production. He covers several actions that can be taken before the summer heat arrives in the recent "Milk Lines" podcast, "Prepare for Summer Now."
Consider these questions as you make your summer heat-abatement plan:
- Are fans cleaned?
- Are fans operational?
- Are repairs needed in the cooling system?
- Are curtains operating properly on curtain-sided barns?
- Have you started putting portable shades or shade cloth in place?
- Are feedline soakers in need of repair, or do they need to be upgraded?
- Are supplemental water tanks in place around the farm?
- Do you have heat-abatement systems for dry and transition cows?
- Have you thought about fly control? Have you started a feed-through product or have you chosen an insecticide for use later?
- Have you thought about your summer feeding strategy?
- Are you going to increase silo-face management to reduce secondary heating?
- Do you have changes in mind for minerals and feed additives?
- Have you cleaned and checked milk-cooling equipement?
"Milk Lines" is co-produced by the Kansas State College of Agriculture and the Kansas State Radio Network.

Frigid weather on deck as Angels visit Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS -- It's been four years since the Twins played under the roof of the Metrodome. Their home now is Target Field, a gorgeous, state-of-the-art ballpark, but also one with no roof, which makes baseball in April difficult and may threaten the three-game series the Angels are currently in town for.
The frigid weather, which caused a postponement of Sunday's game between the Twins and Mets, is expected to hold up on Monday -- even though game-time temperatures are slated for 38 degrees, with winds at 16 mph -- and Tuesday night's game is expected to also go on uninterrupted. But leading up to the series opener, weather reports showed a 60 percent chance of snow/rain for the night of Wednesday's series finale.
Both teams are off on Thursday, but there's a 60-percent chance of sleet then, too. And because year-long Interleague Play has teams making only one trip to cities not in their division, this is the only time the Angels will be in town this season.
In short, it could get interesting very soon.
"We're going to get through one pitch, one inning at a time, and see where everything leads," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Obviously there's some snow in the forecast."

Perspective after tragedy helps Mattlage on Draft day
Garrett Mattlage knows a little something about perspective.
The Tigers' 12th-round selection in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft is a native of West, Texas, the site of last April's fertilizer plant explosion.
Mattlage's best friend's father, a first responder on the scene, was one of the 15 fatalities.
The tennis court where Mattlage used to play with his mother, a stone's throw from where the plant stood, was "blown to bits," as Mattlage put it.
So, naturally, it was a little easier for Mattlage to keep his composure when his name wasn't announced on Day 2 of the Draft.
"[A tragedy like that] changes your attitude to what baseball really means," Mattlage said by phone Saturday. "It's just a game."
The Texas State shortstop had been projected to be selected in the first 10 rounds of the Draft, and his phone finally rang at the end of Day 2.
"You're at the top of the board, so be ready tomorrow," Mattlage said the Tigers told him.
Mattlage's home is just about five miles south of where the explosion occurred. The winds on the day of the blast were coming from the south, so the toxic fumes that were emitted missed his house.
He returned home to attend his friend's father's funeral shortly after the explosion, but it wasn't until the blast zone was re-opened and he ventured to see the destruction that the impact really set in.
The tennis courts he frequented were obliterated, and the school his mother teaches at suffered significant damage.
Not a day goes by that Mattlage doesn't think of his hometown and the loss his friend endured. But the perspective he gained from the tragedy made the Draft day wait far less excruciating.

Looks like I'm going to be busy updating my iDevices tonight!
will update when the windows version of ios6.1 JB is available :0
downloading fresh F/W for my i5, mini, and iPad 2 now... so ridiculously excited !
just in case anyone needs it because their iTunes is stupid (like mine lol) felixbruns.de already has 6.1 available for download, and its pretty quick!
Crap um I did updated 6.0.1 ota can I just update 6.1 through iTunes. Will I still be good?
If you try to JB your OTA'ed 6.1 it might still work
but you won't be able to downgrade back to 6.1 in the future.
And jailbreaking it in the future might be "hard" or "real hard" or "impossible".
And if you OTA another update on top of JB'n 6.1 you lose both your current jailbreak,
AND the possibility of restoring to a previous jailbreakable firmware.
Great news guys,I know it's a bit early put will there be an unlock anytime soon?
My iTunes says update to 6.0.2
I so want an iMac

(James Morris)http://www.nba.com/pacers/news/fantasy09_week7.html
Week 7 of the NBA season brings us three games for the Pacers, two of which are against sub-.500 teams. New Jersey has won just once this season and Washington is very beatable with problems on both ends of the court (22nd in offense at 96.8 PPG and 19th on defense with 100.6 PPG allowed). Portland is the tough matchup this week as they have a young team, but Greg Oden is out for the season yet again and that bodes well for Roy Hibbert. This could be just what the Pacers needed to get back on track this week if all goes as well as it does on paper.
Pacers report
When you look at the season so far you have to wonder what else can go wrong for the Pacers? Franchise player Danny Granger is dealing with knee and heel injuries and left the arena in a walking boot Saturday night. Mike Dunleavy was injured but is now back. Troy Murphy was injured but is now back. Hibbert was a double-double machine to start the season, but came off the bench this weekend as Jeff Foster got the start. Brandon Rush finished last season off red hot, but has failed to carry that success over to this season and has now been bumped from the starting lineup. T.J. Ford has had more than five assists just once this season. And if all that werent bad enough, Indiana has lost five in a row and is now 6-12 on the season.
Start 'em
Since the first game this week isnt until Wednesday, I will go on the assumption Granger will be able to play. The heel is a bit of a concern since it will limit his mobility and he played just 18 minutes on Saturday. But, he has the ability to score 25-plus on any given night and he will always add a few boards and assists to the box score with a few days rest.
With Granger hurting, the bulk of the load will fall on to Murphy and he is a double-double threat every game. He has averaged just over 11 points and 9 rebounds this past week and that is good for a flex forward position player.
Think about 'em
unleavy is still coming off the bench, but he is a leader on the team and can score in double figures each night. His drawback right now is that he isnt offering rebounds, assists, or steals consistently enough to be a sure-fire starter in fantasy leagues.
I am a fan of Dahntay Jones this season, but he has had back-to-back games where he scores below the double-digit mark. If Jones can get himself back on track, he will be worth starting in the guard flex or utility spot in standard format leagues.
Hibbert hasnt logged double-digit rebounds since Nov. 18, but since he can score around 10 points a night and he will add 1-2 blocks he is worth starting as a second center. He isnt putting up stats like he was early in the season, but we know he has the ability to since we have all seen it this season.
On Saturday, Earl Watson managed to put up 9 assists, 7 points, and 4 steals in his 29 minutes off the bench. Right now the Pacers point guards are struggling as a whole, but Watson has shown signs of life and the near 30 minutes are interesting for fantasy leagues.
Sit 'em
I had high hopes for Ford this season but he is averaging just 2.9 assists and 0.8 steals a night. I have no idea what the problem is, but Ford is finding himself on more and more waiver wires and I cant say I blame owners for jumping ship. If you are going to stick with him, make sure he is on your bench until you have a reason to start him.
Even with Foster taking over the starting gig, he isnt going to see more than 15-20 minutes most nights, so owning him in anything smaller than a 16-team league is a reach at this point. If you are in a deeper league and own Foster, only play him if you are desperate for rebounds.
Tyler Hansbrough is just a rookie and he will take some time to really find his NBA game. That being said, I think he has a solid enough future in fantasy leagues when he figures out how to use his size to his advantage with that shot of his. But, that time is not right now, so dont own him unless you are in a deep league.
Take a right at the tunnel, then a left at the sideline, and you will find yourself in the doghouse, sitting right next to Rush. Rush has averaged just 7 points and 4.3 rebounds this season and he recently lost his starting job to Jones. If you were thinking of cutting ties with him, now would the right time.
A little further down the bench you will see guys like Travis Diener, Luther Head, Solomon Jones, Josh McRoberts and A.J. Price. Even if you are in one of those 16 or 18-team leagues, none of these guys see consistent enough minutes to be truly effective in fantasy leagues. Im in a 24-team league and these guys are on my waiver wire because you just dont know when, and for how long, they will play.
Question of the week
Q. I heard Danny Granger is dealing with a sore heel, is he someone I should look at trading away since this injury is likely to linger all season long? (Donovan, San Diego, CA)
A. Yes, he is dealing with a sore heel and he left the arena on Saturday in a walking boot. He is going to have an MRI on it probably Monday to see what is going on, but Granger is a trooper and he will play through the pain until his body finally shuts down and tells him no more. If anything, Id be trading for him right now because there are a lot more managers like you wondering if this will be a bigger problem than there are like me who know what kind of heart he has.

David Bowie Won't Tour Behind New Album, Producer Insists
David Bowie fans got quite a surprise earlier this week when the rock legend ended a decade of musical silence by announcing plans to release 'The Next Day' in March, but the album's producer and longtime Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti insists the singer has no plans to perform in support of the disc.
Visconti explains that Bowie made it very clear in the studio that his backing musicians needn't worry about how to recreate 'The Next Day' in a live setting — because it would never be played live. "He's fairly adamant he's never gonna perform live again," Visconti told NME.com. "One of the guys would say, 'Boy, how are we gonna do all this live?' and David said, 'We're not.' He made a point of saying that all the time."
'The Next Day,' Bowie's first album since 2003′s 'Reality,' is due out March 12 and will include the new single 'Where Are We Now?' which surfaced on Tuesday (Jan. 8). Tuesday was also Bowie's 66th birthday. Happy birthday to you, David Bowie — and will you reconsider your tour plans? Thanks!

Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Implants
Loose Teeth after Crown
I just had treatment done on 3 teeth in my lower right jaw. 1) I had a post for an implant placed in the second to the last tooth location June 2003 (the crown has not yet been placed on this tooth as my dentist stated the crowns on the adjacent teeth must be placed before the crown for the implant) 2) I had crowns placed on each tooth on either side of this implant (Nov 2003) 3) Within days of having these new crowns placed, I began to have extreme pain on this lower side of my jaw. I went into my doctor several times with this pain but only after a month did he realized both of these crowns were in extreme hyper-occlusion. He made occlusive adjustments and put me in a night splint (Dec 2003.) The teeth with the new crowns are still extremely loose and it feels like there is a working interference in the occlusion of these teeth. I have gone in subsequent times for occlusive adjustment but he seems to have difficulty correcting this occlusion. My doctor says this pain and looseness is due to the fact that there is a space in between these teeth (where the post for the implant is.) That tooth however has been missing for 20 years and the adjacent teeth were not loose or in pain before. I am concerned with the extreme looseness of these teeth and the continuation of pain. Is this reasonable for me to expect? Is there a doctor that specializes in occlusion that might be able to look at my teeth for proper adjustments?
It would be a good idea to have an evaluation done by a prosthodontist who specializes in this area.

When you walk into Off Broadstreet Theatre, you know you're in for an interesting experience. First, there is the warm, cabaret atmosphere with table seating, show posters mounted on the walls and a glittering, starry ceiling. Then there is Chris Crockett on stage, strumming guitar and singing, to set a happy mood before the main show. And there are the scurrying servers, who will happily bring you an alcoholic (or not) beverage of your choice — we selected cups of tasty hot chocolate. Plus, at intermission, you can order a decadent dessert — try the fabulous Maui Pie!
When the house lights dim, the spotlight shines on the newest of John Driscoll's musical comedies, "Knockoffs at The Pina Colada." Driscoll, who co-owns Off Broadstreet with his wife, Jan Kopp, has been writing and directing amusements for Off Broadstreet for 24 years, so it's obvious that his wit and breadth of knowledge of pop music resonate with the public.
This current show contains the usual Driscoll flair — comic yet sympathetic characters who experience tribulations but resolve them happily, all while singing and dancing to popular songs from the 1950s through the '90s.
The show opens with Roxanne and Andrew practicing a song and dance routine in a bar that they manage, located in a coastal Mexican town. The two are supposed to create a fabulous show in order to capture the attention of visiting multi-millionaire investors. During their rehearsal, a newly married young couple — Darcy and Tim — show up, and Roxanne and Andrew think the newlyweds are part of the investor group. They aren't, but not to give away the story, I'll just say that things aren't what they appear, and all four characters end up putting on a celebrity impersonator show to entice the investors.
When there are only four people to carry a musical comedy, they must be top notch performers and singers. No problem here as these are some of the best actors and songsters in Northern California. The always funny and campy Nancy Keith (Roxanne) has been successfully performing with Off Broadstreet for years. The versatile Jed Dixon (Andrew), equally comfortable in dramatic or comedic roles, has an extensive vocal range, along with a face and body that can contort uproariously. They are joined by the talented Lyra Dominquez (Darcy), who can equally well vocalize operatic arias or ABBA numbers, and Danny McCammon (Tim), who has become the rising star in Nevada County for his exceptional dramatic, comedic and vocal attributes. This is a show that's energetic, feel-good and funny, resulting in broad smiles on audience members' faces.
In addition, the many costume changes — the wigs alone caused loud guffaws — and the spot-on impersonations of well known entertainers (Jay Leno, Andrea Bocelli, Antonio Banderas, Mae West, Elvis and more) keep the laughs coming. The show starts off a tad slowly, necessary in order to set up the comedy's premise, but then evolves into a musical whirlwind.

Hindi Greenberg greatly admires people with fine voices and wishes she could sing but, even in audience sing-alongs, merely hums very softly. However, she is prone to laugh loudly when amused.
