Ashton Kutcher said what? [Daleen Click]
Compare and contrast to Jason Greenslate below
"I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work," Kutcher began with his first point. "When I was 13, I had my first job with my dad carrying shingles up to the roof, and then I got a job washing dishes at a restaurant, and then I got a job in a grocery store deli, and then I got a job at a factory sweeping Cheerio dust off the ground."
He went on: "And I've never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a stepping stone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job. And so opportunities look a lot like work."
What a message to dare say to a crowd of teens!

it's really hard for kids to have jobs these days cause of how food stamp brutally ass-raped the economy

And his next point was that what's sexy is not superficial. Is this real life? Or are there celebrities with an actual clue?
JP Kalishek says August 14, 2013 at 9:21 am
Wow, even I have thrice left jobs with nothing lined up. Granted I managed to get something and never went on unemployment assistance, though the last time it got very close … but I been everything from dishwasher to chemicals blend specialist (and both jobs involve lots of water and various amounts of gooey substances) and mostly been a menial(except for a sad time as a … gasp …salesman … so embarrassing) of the type the 'elite' so love to denigrate while not being able to do the job themselves.
Hearing this, I'd wager Mr. Kutcher knows how to do things. -

It's discouraging to hear the screamy-screams from the girlies in the audience. They don't seem to have a clue about what he's saying but merely are thrilled that he stands there before him, Existing.
Damn, I was that dumb at that age.
Libby says August 14, 2013 at 10:20 am
I'm glad he mentioned having so many undesirable jobs he was young. It teaches you humility and motivates you to do what it takes to get a better job. That's got to be part of the problem of all these precious snowflakes who spend their childhood and early adulthood so focused on themselves. They're building up their college applications and resumes with all sorts of sports and do-gooder activities where their only focus is being the best "me" they can be instead of learning the more basic job/life skills like having to follow orders and perform mundane, thankless tasks because it's your job, not part of some bigger helping-people-for-the-humble-glory moment, and not being particularly appreciated or compensated for your opinions.
Oh, he's no sooper jeenyus — but he has a glimmering of a hint of a clue about real life. It may be that he claims to support Obama simply because the nice people who give him jobs now support him.
leigh says August 14, 2013 at 10:32 am
He's a nice guy from what I've read about him. I think like a lot of stars, his political leanings are fashion and not deeply held convictions. I also think he went along with his ex-wife's political leanings even though she is dumber than a sack of hammers. He was only a pup, 27, when they were married and she is at least 15 years older than him. Additionally, he has had tragedy in his life at a young age. His girlfriend before he was married to Demi Moore, was viciously murdered in her home. Kutcher stopped at her place to pick her up to go to an awards ceremony and there was no answer so he went alone. Imagine learning that your girlfriend had been butchered from a news broadcast. I wish him luck and thank him for his message to the kids.
Ernst Schreiber says August 14, 2013 at 10:44 am
That's the middle of middle-America roots showing.
The depressing thing, after hearing the soundbites about "have a job and work at it" and "smart is sexy" just now on Rush, is that I think that particular audience would have cheered just as enthusiastically if he was telling them about his various surguries for hemorrhoids and hernias and varicose veins.
Physics Geek says August 14, 2013 at 10:44 am
I eagerly await MSNBC's 20-part expose on why this speech makes Kutcher a racist. Of course, my watching it would double its viewership.
sdferr says August 14, 2013 at 10:50 am
Creative the watchword (the other watchword: democracy — every man a king). Might as well be god, since there isn't one anywhere else. Besides, it's a modern thing god just wouldn't understand.
Never, however, inquire into thy own godly ignorance,
teenchildrendemocrats, lest ye find thyself staring into an abyss. -
Slartibartfast says August 14, 2013 at 10:54 am
I think he preach Marxism and they'd cheer him just as hard. But I still think he's at least ethically pretty well on the ball.
Good message. I give it an 8.5.
I like it when I hear sensible-sounding stuff come from people that, media coverage considered, aren't much more thoughtful than a chihuaha. Brad Pitt said something years ago that I liked and respected. In an NPR interview, the interviewer (my memory has her being Terry Gross) asked him about Seven Years in Tibet, and about any philosophical studying he had to do to get ready for it, and what he thought generally of the movie's message.
And what he said was something like this: I do have an opinion, but you should realize that I'm only an actor. I don't really understand it all that well, so my opinion in the matter is relatively worthless. This, in an era where the opinions of famous people are held to be more forceful than that of the rest of us because they're famous, or something like that.
I really, genuinely appreciated that admission. It's not an easy one to make, I would guess, but it was completely honest.
Pablo says August 14, 2013 at 11:16 am
Maybe there's a ray of hope for our future after all.
Yep. Start out hauling shingles and next thing you know, you're dating Mila Kunis. How sweet is that?
leigh says August 14, 2013 at 11:23 am
I was using pup as an indicator of the age chasm between Kutcher and Moore who has 15 years on him. Give or take. I believe she and I are the same age, but she keeps shaving years off and is now only 50.
Ernst Schreiber says August 14, 2013 at 11:47 am
Well thanks anyways for affording me the opportunity to address a pet peeve of mine.
serr8d says August 14, 2013 at 11:48 am
I'm guessing Kutcher's brief message reverberates only in people who already know how and why things (and people) work. Natural Born Slackers (and 'Community Organized' Obama Youths) didn't hear a thing.
serr8d says August 14, 2013 at 11:51 am
Pups can stay pups as long as somebody feeds 'em. Some people will die pups, no matter how mony tines they've circled the Sun.
serr8d says August 14, 2013 at 11:52 am
Mony? tines? Where's the famed Droid spell check when you needs it?
Ernst Schreiber says August 14, 2013 at 11:54 am
There's that too. I'm just trying to push back at the idea that 30 is the new 21.
serr8d says August 14, 2013 at 11:55 am
Oh! OT, but speaking of the Sun, this from comments at PhysOrg…
happyfeet says August 14, 2013 at 12:00 pm
I like how his cap and his shirt and his other shirt all match. That doesn't just happen you have to have your act together.
Ernst Schreiber says August 14, 2013 at 12:04 pm
It does too just happen if everything you own is some shade of black or gray or white.
That worked for me for years.
Actually, he's a lot smarter than the average bear and is making another fortune in technology startups.
The average bear would know there's nothing to admire about Obama, and why.
bgbear says August 14, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Bears that live on the dole in national parks can be a little slow at times.

The Adidas Rose 773 II – Black Lotus Performance Reviews
A quick look back at the 2012-2013 NBA season and it would not be a stretch to call it a lost season for both Adidas and Derrick Rose. Rose missed the season rehabilitating his injured knee while the 3.0/3.5 did not have the impact that the previous Rose models have had. Pushing forward to next season, Adidas gives Rose fans a follow up to 773, originally introduced for the 2012 Olympic Games last Summer. Based off the 3.5 and the recently released Crazyquick, the design is a direct transition to the next Rose model – the 4.0. Representing the hometown of Derrick Rose is the subject of this Performance Review – the Adidas Rose 773 II.
A new summer tradition, the 773 II bridges the gap between the Rose 3.0 and 4.0. The features include the following:
- Synthetic leather upper with seamlessly bonded Sprintweb for light weight support and durability
- Cushioning provided by EVA midsole
- Non-marking rubber outsole with segments for excellent court feel
- Padded collar with synthetic leather for added support
- Adidas miCoach compatible
Aesthetics and Styling
The Rose 3.0/3.5 took the line in different direction after bold designs for the 1.0/1.5 & 2.0/2.5. As the 773 II is tied to the 3.0/3.5 it is no surprise that the upper looks like a more stable version of the 3.5 Synthetic leather is used for a more full body while the collar has a bit more padding and support. The biggest changes from the 3.5 are the lack of a Sprintframe chassis, a first for a Rose model. Also, the foundation is crafted directly from the newly revamped Puremotion, first introduced with the Crazyquick. The initial run of 773 II releases fittingly features a couple of Chicago Bulls inspired color schemes as well as team friendly colors. The choice for this Performance Review represents Simeon Career Academy where Rose spent his High School years.
There are no surprises looking at a side shot of the 773 II. The crossing spiral pattern engulfing the upper is taken straight from the 3.5, while the segmented sole stems from the adiPure Crazyquick. Synthetic leather covers the toe box as well as the Rose patched collar. To begin our look, we flip the shoe to reveal a familiar outsole. Almost a direct translation of the Crazyquick sole, the 773 II is broken up into segments from the forefoot to the mid foot. The most prominent changes are observed down the center – where the curving vertical groove is filled in; and at the heel where the three stripe logo streams up the heel. A herringbone pattern runs throughout the segments and on the heel for traction. Adidas miCoach compatibility is marked at the mid foot where the cavity is branded. Fully supporting the outsole is an EVA midsole. The midsole follows the outsole segments on each side, with the heel having extra support with added thickness.
A synthetic leather and Sprintweb based upper makes up the construction of the 773 II. At the toe box, the smooth leather is littered with perforation holes. The transition to the Sprintweb sides starts at the forefoot with a shiny plastic strip extending from the third eyelet. On the medial side, the spiral design is done in a brushed synthetic material with small perforation holes in the diamonds created by the spiral pattern. A slight change is observed on the base side where the diamond openings have a nylon base. The upper is complete with a small "SPRINT WEB" branding towards the lateral forefoot.
The familiar three stripe logo sits on a stitched leather covering. Designed with a carbon fiber pattern, the heel counter replaces the Sprintframe chassis from the 3.0/3.5. Above the heel counter is the Achilles support. Here, the Sprintweb based upper comes together as the stitching crosses up and around the counter. Next is the collar which rises steep to a curve. The outside of the collar has the synthetic leather for support with the lateral side marked with the D Rose logo. Padding is thick on the inside, while the lining is a textured synthetic.
Stock oval laces run through 8 eyelets. The upper eyelets come to a point for a more form fitting feel, while the top 2 eyelets are punctured through the collar. A mesh tongue sits underneath the laces with a lace holder in the center. The top patch is made of a brushed synthetic with perforations and an Adidas logo for branding. More padding is visible on top with the lining coming through. To finish off the 773 II is a high quality PU insole – standard for all Rose models. This insole is lined just as the collar is complete with the final D Rose logo printed on the heel.
Comfort and Fit
The tight and form fitting Sprintweb based sides need a generous loosening of the laces before the foot can pass through. Once laced up, the 773 II brings a tight, true to size fit with most of the lace pressure felt on the sides and up the collar. The contoured design of the foundation combines with the form fitting Sprintweb for a very close fit around the mid to forefoot. As the forefoot is reached, the shoe opens up at the toe box where it has a flat feel. There is slight wiggle room here, but width wise, it may not be the most ideal for wide footed players. Crowding is not a big issue, but the shoe is contoured, which may cause some issues when in motion. Moving to the rear, the collar and tongue provide comfortable ankle support. Support and protection are not gripping, allowing the padding to soften the blow from the front back to the Achilles. Heel lock down, despite the lack of the Sprintframe chassis, is very good. Just like the collar, it is not the tightest but the heel does seem to be locked in place. For cushioning, the contoured foundation is on the stiff side. The PU insole provides the only barrier of comfort while the segments along the side keep the shoe from being extremely stiff by adding a sense of flexibility. Arch support is outstanding because of the contours and fit of the Sprintweb. The foot has excellent support and can benefit those with flat feet. Offering a tight & close fit with a responsive base, the 773 II is ready to burn up the hardwood.
Great court feel, a grip around the foot, and a stiff base are what stands out in a static position on the court. The shoe feels like it is ready to push hard. For heel to toe transitions, the segmented sole and leather toe box work great. All of the segments mean plenty of free flex for the foundation. What compliments the flexible sole is the toe box. Because of the high placement of the throat line, the toes are able to flex fully, giving the player more control and a free feel. The heel area does not have any segments and acts more to stabilize heel strikes. And for weight, the shoe does play light. It has good weight balance which is evident with the somewhat free feel of the shoe. Performance for the 773 II is fit for the active player who likes to be explosive. With the Puremotion based sole, the shoe is all about feel and movement. The flexibility of the sole allows the player to push the shoe in all directions, front to back, side to side with a very consistent feel. One aspect that quicker players will notice is the design of the collar. Although it is a high cut shoe, the collar acts more to bring comfort than restrict movement. Most of the hold around the foot is from the Sprintweb based sides. The non-restrictive collar is perfect for those who constantly change directions and like to weave through traffic on the court. For jumps, the Puremotion sole again comes into play. Since the cushioning is on the stiff side, the responsiveness of the shoe is very good. The high quality PU insole is the only real barrier of comfort. With this, the control and court feel the player has can lead to aggressive jumps. The segments of the sole allow the player to pin point where to take off from. Jumps do not have a boost up, but when the player launches off the hardwood, the control felt is excellent. Landings, because of the stiff cushioning, might be a bit harsh, especially in the heat of action. Staying true to the Rose series, the 773 II plays explosive with great court feel, speed, and responsiveness.
Stability performance is excellent in a light weight context. Starting with ankle support, the 773 II focuses more on comfort than tight protection. The collar does come up high enough to provide an expansive wrap. However, the last eyelet is placed under the upper patch, allowing for some movement on top. This results in the padding giving more comfort than gripping hard around the ankles. Moving on, the fit of the Sprintweb quarter panels forms the basis of stability. The sides of the shoe collapse around the foot for a tight grip. With the contours of the sole, the foot is held in place with very little movement. The player can feel the upper holding tight in motion when pushing hard. Lateral slides, quick spins, and deep bends do not have the feeling where the upper is failing, as it brings an aggressive hold. All in all, the fit of the Sprintweb is the highlight of stability. One major change from the Rose 3.5 which affects stability for the 773 II is the lack of the Sprintframe chassis. Without it, the 773 II does not have the bullet proof feel from top to bottom and feels much more free & open.
Taking the new Puremotion design from the Crazyquick, traction is about control and balance. The segments and contoured design give the player a sense of complete control on the court. Since the design is based on segments, traction is more about feel than sticky grip. Especially moving laterally, the wave traction pattern on the pods can be felt working when pressed hard. Traction shines best when the player is in motion using the pods to feel the court and get in and out of movements quickly. Players who like to be nimble will find this set up ideal. As for ventilation, the shoe does hold up well. For the most part the upper is completely covered. Small perforations on the toe box and medial side, as well as openings on the lateral may not look effective, but in the heat of action they do a sufficient job. The player can play in comfort as hot air does have an outlet to vent.
Year in and year out, sneaker companies bank on their star athletes to drive their brands. Out of all the basketball companies on the market, no athlete (aside from Michael Jordan) is more important to their division than Derrick Rose is to Adidas Basketball. The 773 II is an interesting meld of the Rose 3.5 and the Crazyquick – two of the highest performing basketball sneakers on the market. Performance, however, is similar to the 3.5 in a more agile, light weight, and free sense. The addition of the Puremotion style outsole combined the lack of the Sprintframe chassis are what separate the performance from the 3.5. Great court feel, responsiveness, and fluid play are the highlights of performance for the 773 II. And as with the first 773 the most important aspect the shoe brings is versatility for various playing styles and positions. Those who have not took the leap with the 3.5 and are looking for a more than worthy follow up to the 3.0/3.5 would not be disappointed with the latest Rose summer shoe. Released early last month, the Rose 773 II is available in at the Official Adidas Online Store in various colors.
This shoe is comparable to:
Adidas adiPure Crazyquick
Adidas Rose 3.5
Adidas Rose 3.0

Thanks for another great review! Is it correct to say that the Rose 773 II is the best of the recent adidas models for an agressive and explosive guard? Also, how would it compare to Nike's zoom based models such as the Melo M9 and Lebron X for this style of play?
great review!!! which shoe performs better the crazy quick or these?I will ask later which is better out of the 773 2,quicks and crazy light 3
Great review, I personally love how the slightly more relaxed setup makes the PureMotion a lot better, they still need to float the heel-pods, but that would bring this sole back into the real barefoot spectrum.
An interesting factoid for people with wider feet, the little extra outline-ridge at the toe runs from toe-to-heel, so the outline of the sole on these is a little wider than the CrazyQuick(also contributing to the slightly more relaxed setup).
I really hope adidas makes a BOOST insole, because if you add a little cushioning, they're great bigs shoes too, and it doesn't really influence the PureMotion.
Love the Puremotion sole. Dang, I just got the Rose 3.5 recently too….oh well.
MIshra, I apologize since this will be in the wrong area, but I had two questions for you.
1. Is there a search function on this blog? There were some shoes I wanted to look reviews up for, but I could not find a 'search' button. I've been putting the website and shoe name in Google instead. It's been a hit-or-miss experience.
2. What would be your top 3 or 5 shoe choices for outdoor play? Something durable and lasting for asphalt/concrete play. Small and quick combo guard (primarily PG) playing style. Indoor, I've been favoring the Hyperdunk 2012 and DRose 3.5.
Thank you for your time!
I tried these on today and have a question about the sizing. These fit a little bigger than the Crazyquicks in my opinion. Did you wear the same size for both shoes?
As the last shoe of the Rose line, and with the comeback of the puremotion technology since the Crazy quick, would you still consider the Rose 1.0/1.5 above the 773 II and the Crazy Quick?
Also, which one of those shoes would be the most favorable for jumping/landing (including the Rose 3.5)? -
Hi. I got a pair of these in the same size that I had a pair of Howard 3′s and they are too tight across the front of my foot just behind the toes. I have to wear shoes with good arch support (I once had some Kobe's that gave me bad shin splints) hence tending towards adidas but my Howard's are starting to wear out. Any suggestions?

Life is messyon many
levels. But when youre a designer, dealer, workroom or installer,
life can be downright stressful if the fabric youre working with
gets stained. One way to ease the stress is to work with fabric that is
stain protected.
For several years, DuPont has offered fabric protection through its Teflon®
product. Yes, the same product that has revolutionized pots and pans.
The benefits it offers in the kitchen are offered for drapery, upholstery
and apparel fabrics as well. The problem is that fabric protection
has been an unclear conceptwhat type of protection was it, what
do fabrics need to be protected from? Fabric mills and converters understood
it, but many retailers and consumers didnt. Thats about to
This year DuPont is following up on its to-the-trade promotional campaign
for its Teflon product with direct-to-consumer advertising. In the process
it will focus on stain protection, a concept that will have an emotional
connection to consumers as will the campaigns theme: Let life happen.
Lisa Pfrommer is the manager of upholstery and home fashions for DuPont
Teflon. She explains that Teflon stain protection can be applied to virtually
any type of fabric without changing its appearance, feel, drape or breathability.
The process is done professionally between the printing and finishing
stages and is bonded to the individual fabric fibers. It doesnt
even change the smell of the fabric, she says.
Teflon stain protection has been available for some time, but new technical
improvements have resulted in two basic treatments: one for stain repellence,
the other for stain release. Stain repellence will fight off stains, making
dry soil and liquids roll off or bead up, she explains. Stain release
will allow stains to be removed during regular cleaning.
Home fashions products can benefit from both treatments Pfrommer says.
Upholstery, draperies and comforters can be treated for repellence; area
rugs, tablecloths and bedding can be treated for stain release.
Pfrommer says DuPonts new advertising campaign seeks to educate
consumers as to why they should look for fabrics treated with Teflon,
and to educate retailers on how they can benefit from promoting the fact
that the fabric or finished treatments they sell are protected.
One company that already sees the benefits of Teflon treatment is Concord
Fabrics, Inc. Roger Burnim, vice president, home furnishings, Concord
Home, a division of Concord Fabrics, says his company believes in the
product, although he recognizes that consumers need to make the same connection
to benefits as those in the industry.
We as converters understand it. Mills understand it. Our customers,
being manufacturers and/or retailers, are just starting to understand
it. But the consumer has to understand it, Burnim says. They
need to know they can chose a fabric either for upholstery, curtains,
draperies or a bed spread that will let life happen, thats been
treated and protected, he adds.
Its a name that consumers understand, even though they havent
associated it with fabric, Burnim says about existing Teflon brand
awareness. We do retail business with some of the major chains as
well as significant manufacturing business. To allow DuPont and Concord
to tie-in a point-of-sale information package to consumer advertising
it becomes that much more recognizable.
As a converter, Concord marries print, color, design and pattern to a
specific fabrication. It is in a key position to know what designers are
looking for and consumers asking for. He says the cocooning trend is very
much in evidence. Were seeing a reevaluation of whats
important in peoples lives, and people saying, Lets
make home our castle.
In terms of design themes, tropicals are still very important,
he continues. We are also expanding our juvenile collections. Fun,
whimsical things that would be youthful, that add color and accents to
Stain protection could be one of the best ways to ease the minds of customers
and to ensure their new interiors remain whimsical and colorful.

[Brought to you by the Blue Letter Bible]
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)
In our previous meditation on this same verse, we saw that God has placed extraordinary heavenly treasure in ordinary earthen vessels. "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels." This is true of every person who has been redeemed by the blood of Christ. The Lord has arranged it this way so that the vessels (you and I) must rely upon the treasure (Jesus Christ), not upon ourselves: "that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." Also, this arrangement is to bring attention and glory to the Lord, not to the vessels.
The Lord is the treasure in the "clay pot" of our redeemed humanity. He is to be the "excellent power" in our lives. He is the one we are to trust in as our strength for daily living. When the battles become fierce, trust in the Lord. "You have armed me with strength for the battle" (Psalm 18:39). When we need patience or endurance, trust in the Lord: "Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy" (Colossians 1:11). When we need strength for our latter years, trust in the Lord. "The LORD has kept me alive…here I am this day, eighty-five years old…yet I am as strong this day as I was on the day that Moses sent me" (Joshua 14:10-11). Even in times of extreme personal weakness, His strength can be especially apparent. "I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me…For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).
The temptation is to trust in our "sturdy structure" (or in those who claim to be able to strengthen or reinforce weak vessels). Our personal resources will fail, but the Lord who dwells in our hearts will not fail. "My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Psalm 73:26). The world system with all of its impressive riches calls us to place our confidence in its resources. The Lord warns us that such misplaced trust becomes our downfall. "Woe to the rebellious children…who…go down to Egypt…to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh…the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame" (Isaiah 30:1-3).
We are to trust the Lord to be our strength. "The LORD is my strength and my shield" (Psalm 28:7a). Then, we are to give the Lord glory for the strength He supplies. "My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him" (Psalm 28:7b).
O Lord, the strength of my life, forgive me for relying upon myself and for looking to worldly resources. I want to place all of my trust in Jesus, the treasure who lives within me. May all glory be unto Him, in His mighty name, Amen.

Bloomberg's Big Miss in Silicon Valley Hiring Story
An analysis forgets mergers and acquisitions
- Comments Post a Comment
Kit also acquired KickApps
There are still many instances of offshoring going on in Silicon Valley. The net increases are small and many people with great credentials are forced to P/T contract at best, without a regular wage or benefits. The idea that it is a free and easy hiring bonanza, as described by Bloomberg, is false. The entire valley has been degraded and numbed by the downturn in hiring. Most of those over 45 are still struggling and out of work. Just another symptom of the youth-enizing of the valley. Sad story when Bloomberg doesn't even get their stats correct.
Thank you so much for this review. I read the Bloomberg article and took all the info at face value as I just [i]assumed[/i] their analysis would have taken these things into account. The level of apparent inaccuracy in that article, based on your fact checking, is quite shocking to me. And looking at the fact that I'm 'shocked,' I'm realizing that I have not been reading nearly critically enough lately, so that is a double thanks to you!

ACC: Kevin White
The routine has become seemingly busier by the week. Sure, there is Father Mike Martin, a close family friend. But more and more visitors, mostly students, have come up before, after and sometimes even during the procession to congratulate Cutcliffe on the previous day's victory, and to thank him for providing another addition to the school.
Duke football might be doing the same for the ACC as well. The Blue Devils will play in their league's title game if they win Saturday at rival North Carolina, a scenario that seemed unfathomable before Cutcliffe's arrival, as the program went 13-90 in the nine years prior. But two straight years of postseason play and a number of new heights reached this fall have set the course for what the 59-year-old coach says is here to stay.
"We're not going away, I can promise you that," Cutcliffe told ESPN.com. "And I don't mean that to sound arrogant, but we're not going anywhere. We're going to be a good football team each year."
A win over the Tar Heels would give Duke 10 victories for the first time in school history. It would mark the Blue Devils' first eight-game winning streak since 1941, when they won nine straight. And it would give them consecutive wins over UNC -- which comes into Saturday's game on a five-game winning streak -- for the first time since 1987-89.
Cutcliffe, who would joke that his degree from Alabama is in "Knowology," believes he has now completed a PhD in the field.
"I've now changed it to 'Macro-Knowology,' by the way," he quipped. "I felt like I got a little smarter, so I just use that kidding with my wife. My wife's a Tennessee graduate."
Kevin White sees the matter as closer to reality than fiction. Arriving at Duke five months after Cutcliffe's hiring in December of 2007, the athletic director saw a guy who knew what he had to work with, and how to go about it.
On a scale of 1 to 10, White said, Cutcliffe's passion is a "14." The coach knows where to find all of the right buttons in a program, the AD added, and how to push them.
"He wasn't in a position to go and to recruit ready-to-play players, so he wasn't in the player-acquisition business," White told ESPN.com. "He very quickly understood that for him to be successful, he needed to move earnestly into the player-development business."
Win No. 6, last month at then-No. 14 Virginia Tech, served as a bit of a watershed moment for the program. Cutcliffe had seen 60 minutes of intensity before, but this featured a different kind of demeanor, from pregame through halftime and on the trip back.
More importantly, Cutcliffe said, his players left Lane Stadium hungrier than ever.
"There's just a whole new attitude and want for the football program to be good, not only by just the players but also the administration," sixth-year linebacker Kenny Anunike said. "I mean, President (Dick) Brodhead has been into our locker room numerous times to talk to us to tell us how proud he is. Everybody just wants to provide for our team, give us everything, all the tools we need to be good."
A team that dropped five straight once getting to 6-2 a year ago has gone about finishing stronger this time around. A defense that finished last in the ACC in scoring has improved to No. 5 in the league (22.8 ppg).
White is not surprised by the progress, insisting he had told anyone who listened in recent years that a sea change was on the way.
That sentiment has been echoed throughout the regime.
"There's one architect for this program, and that's Coach Cutcliffe, and the rest of us are builders," defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said. "We're all builders, and if you've been around us at all there's been that vision from Kevin White and Coach Cutcliffe that this was the way it was going to be. Even through the tough times, we all sold that to the defense, that this was going to happen. It was inevitable, because we knew we were doing all the right things, [like] how Apple knew 10 years before they were a success that they were going to be a great success."
Said Cutcliffe: "I appreciate Jim's comment. I think the key to this has been good people. I think the reason that it's been effective is I really don't lead from the top. I feel more like I'm kind of in the middle, in the traffic circle, and I'm just kind of holding up one for a second, moving the other one, and you seem like a traffic police officer in Columbus Circle."

The award, which spans seven divisions, will be presented to White and the other honorees Saturday at the group's annual convention in Orlando. Jeff Compher (Northern Illinois), John Currie (Kansas State) and Jeff Long (Arkansas) also were honored on the FBS level.
"Since 1998, NACDA has been highlighting significant contributions made by athletics directors across all divisions of our membership," NACDA executive director Bob Vecchione said in a statement. "This award allows athletics directors to be recognized not only nationally, but also in their respective communities which heightens the awareness of their leadership position in the athletics enterprise."
Duke has once again seen success both on and off the field this past season. Here is a quick look at some accomplishments:
- The Blue Devils' football team made a bowl game for the first time since 1994, and coach David Cutcliffe was honored as ACC coach of the year.
- An ACC-leading 15 programs were honored with NCAA Public Recognition Awards, presented each year to teams finishing among the top 10 percent of their respective sport based on the most recent multiyear Academic Performance Rate (APR). Football was one of them.
- In the most recent Learfield Sports Directors' Cup Standings, Duke stands in eighth place and ranks third among private institutions behind Stanford (first) and Notre Dame (seventh).
- Late last year, Duke announced a fund-raising campaign to help fund renovations to Wallace Wade Stadium and Cameron Indoor Stadium. In all, $250 million in capital campaign projects are on the table.
Athletic directors see their salaries rise, too
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that athletic directors have seen their salaries grow as well.
USA Today, which annually compiles head coaching salaries, recently found FBS athletic directors make an average of $515,000. That is an increase of more than 14 percent since USA Today last reported on AD salaries in 2011.
The ACC beats that average. Of the available salaries compiled by USA Today, ACC athletic directors were set to make an average of $602,829 in 2013. All but two made more than $500,000 -- Kevin Anderson at Maryland ($499,490), and Randy Spetman at Florida State ($350,00).
That doesn't count incoming Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich, who makes a cool $1.4 million -- the highest paid athletic director at a public school. Only nine athletic directors make $1 million or more. The next highest paid public school AD is Dan Radakovich at Clemson, checking in at $725,000.
Boston College and Miami, two private schools, did not disclose figures.
While Spetman's salary has remained the same for the past several years, it still surprises me that the athletic director at one of the most high-profile football programs in the nation is the lowest paid in his league. And one of the lowest paid in the entire state of Florida. Florida AD Jeremy Foley makes more than $1 million; USF AD Doug Woolard makes nearly $500,000; Todd Stansbury at UCF makes just a smidge more ($375,000); and FIU AD Pete Garcia makes $441,832.
I know Spetman has faced his share of criticism, and the Noles have fought through some financial problems. They do pay Jimbo Fisher $2.75 million -- the highest paid coach in the ACC. But something seems off when the ADs at FIU, UCF and USF make more than the guy at Florida State.
Here are is the complete list of AD salaries in the ACC, thanks to USA Today.
- Tom Jurich, Louisville: $1.4 million*
- Kevin White, Duke, $906,536
- Dan Radakovich, Clemson: $725,000

*Louisville expected to join ACC in 2014
** Maryland will depart ACC in 2014
In an interview with ESPN.com last week, Swofford said the conference would like to see a three-game playoff format (1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3), and conference champions should be given precedence in the selection process, but the league isn't entirely opposed to the idea of a selection committee. Swofford said the ACC favors using bowls for the semifinals and bidding out the championship game.
"Our position is one of emphasis on teams that win conference championships, however that is factored into the equation," Swofford said. "Our league is not uncomfortable with the current formula, although we would want strength of schedule as a factor and could accept any committee involvement as long as its charge includes criteria that emphasizes winning conference championships."
NC State coach Tom O'Brien said a four-team playoff won't be big enough if BCS officials truly decide to honor conference champions.
"If that's going to be the case, you can't have a four-team playoff," he said. "You're going to have to go to a six-to-eight team playoff in order for conference champs to be involved because of the number of teams that are in BCS conferences, unless that whole thing changes. Four doesn't work because there are six BCS conferences and Notre Dame. We think there's some merit to the fact you win a championship, and you are a conference champion, and you're in a BCS league. That's our point."
The debates will continue this week when BCS officials meet Wednesday in Chicago. The NCAA Division I Conference Commissioners Association will also meet in Chicago June 19-20, and the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee will meet June 26 in Washington.
"I don't think there's anything we stand to lose," Swofford said. "Everybody is going to have access if there's a playoff. What we want to have for our champion is as prominent a game as we can have if it is not playing in the semifinals. Beyond that, as we would in any system outside of these games -- is to have the best possible bowl sites and bowl matchups."
Duke athletic director Kevin White, a former athletic director at Notre Dame and former BCS representative, said he has mixed feelings on a college football playoff.
"I thought the current system did what it was intended to do," he said. "The regular season was important, every game mattered. The playoff really started in late August or early September. … I think the system worked, it was pretty effective.
"But there's such a national appetite for change," he said. "I get it, I understand it, but sometimes we change just for the sake of change. Personally speaking, I'm not sure I wouldn't prefer the status quo. As I think about Duke and the conference, I'm probably more in favor of the two semifinal games within the bowl system with a stand-alone national championship game. That seems to make some sense to me if we're going to change for the sake of change."
Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips said his counterparts throughout the league have spent more time discussing the possible formats for a playoff than the possibility of a selection committee, but that some combination of a human element and computers would be beneficial.
"I do like the computer rankings, where you get obviously a very unbiased ranking with regard to all of the variables that go into it," he said. "I don't think you want to do away with that. I think that should be a leading component or analysis of who are the best teams. But I do believe there is a place for people who have a good, solid background in football and have a good understanding of football with regard to being able to look at factors relative to each team and form a highly educated opinion in an unbiased fashion to go along with what the computers do for you. I think that would be helpful."
As the rest of the BCS world tries to muddle its way through meeting after meeting, Virginia coach Mike London has a unique perspective on it all: been there, won that.
Granted, London was at the FCS level when he won a national championship with Richmond, but he has been part of a playoff format and said it's worth taking a look at. For those who are concerned about how a playoff would affect academics, London said he took his academic adviser on the road with him and gave them a study hall period.
"I think it's doable," he said. "I know there are a lot of arguments not to do the FCS model because of bowls and things like that, but … I just think there's some merit in looking at the FCS model a little harder."
Not everyone in college football, though, is clamoring for a change.
"To be honest with you, I wish we'd leave it alone," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. "We have a great national championship right now. Everybody says, 'settle it on the field.' Well, you don't know who's going to get hurt. We're not a tournament sport, and all that is is a tournament. Not even in basketball – which is a tournament sport – does the best team win a national championship every year. Gimme a break, settle it on the field. The current formula means you better be good Weeks 1-12. That's a formula, and it's worked pretty darn well."
Just not well enough, apparently, for the sport's decision-makers.
Academics: Duke. The Blue Devils graduate all of their players, and the institution is one of the best in the country when it comes to academics. If only I could get in.
Athletic director: Kevin White, Duke. Since White arrived on campus, Duke has won three NCAA titles -- women's tennis, men's basketball and lacrosse. Duke ranked 10th in the 2010 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings, and White has given coach David Cutcliffe much needed upgrades in facilities.
City: Chapel Hill. Franklin Street is the epitome of a college town, and it's the place to be whether there's a game or not.
Coach: Frank Beamer. He's loyal to his staff, and they've returned the favor. He can recruit, and he can win.
Facilities: Florida State. This is the house that Bobby built, and it's huge. The Seminoles have everything they need to succeed, and one of the biggest stadiums in the conference. It's even better when it's filled.
Fans: Virginia Tech. What other fan base would travel to Atlanta three times in one season to see their team play?
Game day atmosphere: Lane Stadium on a Thursday night. You've got giant turkey legs and Metallica. What more could you want?
Mascot: Sebastian the Ibis. In a word: aww. But he can get feisty when he needs to. Besides, what is a Hokie?
Stadium: Death Valley. Clemson's Memorial Stadium has Howard's Rock, the Hill and the tradition.
Strength program: Miami. Longtime strength coach Andreu Swasey has trained the likes of Willis McGahee, Kellen Winslow II and Sean Taylor.
These are all tough picks, especially when choosing a coach and the fans. Clemson fans would actually probably tie Virginia Tech fans, but there is no better display of loyalty than a travelling fan base, and to sell out three times in Atlanta last season is going to be tough to beat. As for the coaches, this conference is loaded with good ones, but most of the ones who came to mind quickly (Paul Johnson, Jim Grobe and David Cutcliffe) lost this past weekend. I made my choice based on a longer period of time, and Beamer has owned the ACC since joining the conference, though CPJ is a two-time ACC Coach of the Year. And if Cutcliffe can win at Duke, he can win anywhere. So argue amongst yourselves and feel free to build your own ACC dream team in the ESPNU College Town game.
Duke's Tauiliili, Cutcliffe fight losing record for recognition
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
The campaigning has begun, and Duke coach David Cutcliffe is leading the charge. E-mails and flyers have been mailed, and even Duke athletic director Kevin White, at least according to Cutcliffe, has gotten on the phone and made a few phone calls on behalf of linebacker Michael Tauiliili.
Icon SMI | |
This season, LB Michael Tauiliili leads the ACC in tackles with 120 and has 10.5 tackles for loss, three INTs, three forced fumbles and five pass breakups. |
"We're really pushing him hard on the All-American scene," Cutcliffe said. "I really believe he should be the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and should be a first-team All-American. I want to see his picture on the wall because he's earned that. I don't like All-Americans that are there by reputation and you look at them on tape and they don't look like much. I've seen that my whole career."
Duke, along with Cutcliffe, will fight the school's losing record (4-8, 1-6 ACC) when it comes to preseason honors, even though the four wins this season have matched the program's win total for the past four seasons. Those four wins are the most by a Duke head coach since 1994, but Cutcliffe's chances at Coach of Year in the ACC have taken a slide since he has won just one game since Sept. 27.
Not all of the progress, though, can been made in wins and losses.
The biggest and arguably one of the most important changes Cutcliffe made when he took over the program was the emphasis on strength and conditioning, and Tauiliili is Exhibit A. Tauiliili entered winter conditioning around 248 pounds and has played this season around 232. He is the ACC's leading tackler with 120, and has 10.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, three forced fumbles and five pass breakups.
In last week's 14-3 loss to Virginia Tech, Tauiliili had nine tackles, one interception, and three pass breakups. He was a major reason why the Blue Devils had possession of the football with 1:31 left in the game, trailing 7-3.
"I just bought into what the coaches were asking me to do, as far as conditioning and my weight," Tauiliili said. "Me buying into that, I was definitely able to see some of the positives, just the physical aspect of being able to move around a lot better and help the team. Hearing coach talk about his confidence in me and my ability to play, it makes me feel good to know I've got him pushing for me for All-American."
Somebody has to, especially at Duke.
"It's difficult to put it into words, but he's the best defensive football player in the ACC," Cutcliffe said. "I've seen everybody at this point, and there's not another one like him. He continues to play at a high level every single snap. He's a great leader off the field. His practice habits are perfect and whether it's intercepting passes, recovering fumbles, causing fumbles, making tackles that no one else is going to make, he is all over the field."
Tauiliili's newfound speed and his statistics indicate a remarkable season, but whether or not he -- or Cutcliffe -- earn national recognition for it remains to be seen.
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
Here's a quick look at what's going on in the ACC today:
Virginia Tech had gotten by with its questionable offense until it traveled to Chestnut Hill. If it continues to struggle like that, the Hokies have no shot of playing in the ACC championship game, writes Darryl Slater.
Hey Seminoles fans -- "Spirit, spirit, spirit," Bobby Bowden says. None of FSU's three previous home games have been sold out, and this one is so important that Bowden implored boosters to show up and be loud.
You would think this has to be one of the more entertaining radio shows on Tobacco Road, especially when the host, Duke AD Kevin White, is asked about something like, say, firing coaches.
Has anyone realized that NC State quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown one interception in 115 passes? Um, yeah, definite trap game for the Terps.
North Carolina coach Butch Davis took some of the blame for his team not having any timeouts left in the last 47 seconds of regulation after Virginia tied the score at 10. Whoops.
ACC in the morning: Duke administration finally helping out
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
Duke's athletic director is ready and willing to give Wallace Wade Stadium -- which feels as old as its namesake -- an upgrade, according to the Raleigh News & Observer.
Kevin White, who was recently hired from Notre Dame, met with reporters Monday and called the facility "antiquated at best."
The problem is, White said he doesn't know where to start. By acknowledging the subpar stadium, though, he already did.
Duke now has the two most important things in place to begin improving upon its embarrassing 4-42 record over the past four seasons -- a veteran head coach in David Cutcliffe and an administration to back him.
In other ACC news this morning. . . .
* This isn't exactly the picture you want for your player bio in the Clemson media guide, but apparently Tommy Bowden has his reasons for allowing DB DeAndre McDaniel to remain an "active member" of the team while he faces criminal assault charges.
* Here's a story for you that I'm all-too familiar with. I covered Maryland for the Baltimore Sun for two and a half seasons and wrote this very same story, which struck a nerve in the Gossett football building. At that time, PSU had gotten 9 of the top 11 players in Maryland. Here's my take on it this time around -- Maryland isn't going to be too concerned because these guys are going to pan out to be average players. How do I know? When's the last time you saw TWO phenomenal players come out of the same high school at the same time? PSU defensive line coach Larry Johnson got four kids from two high schools (Lackey and Eleanor Roosevelt). He's earned quite the reputation for plucking talent out of Maryland, but frankly, he's overrated as a recruiter. Aaron Maybin? Hasn't played. Antonio Logan-El? Quit the team. The list goes on.
* The only other news out of ACC country was unfortunate, as former Georgia Tech DB Jake Rudolph died on Sunday, according to the AJC.

Uganda, South Sudan should mend ties
Posted Monday, September 30 2013 at 01:00
The Ugandan boda boda riders where recently expelled from Juba, South Soudan due to the ever-rising crime rate. South Sudan and Uganda need each other. Our bilateral relations can only be strengthened if we live in harmony.
South Sudanese must stop mistreating Ugandans working in Juba, and Ugandan traders should also know that every country has policies which require foreign investors to have a certain minimum amount to invest.
Both countries should work out the differences for harmony's sake.

I'm a big fan of the Xin series and this episode was not only entertaining but a clear indication of how far your animation skills have come. One of my favoriate things about the Xin series was definately the fact that each episode manages to top its predecessor. Although the Xin series has officially come to an end with episode 18 I'm looking forward to your future projects such as surface which i think has a great amount of potential. Keep up the amazing work
wow that was probably the longest flash v ever seen, but itmanaged to keep me entertained through most of it (although incredibly confused... i probably should have paused the clip when i left)
anyways good work, and i look forward to the next one
You guys are just amazing!!
Heheh I watched this one on your website before you had the sound hooked up.. I really like the cinematography and camera work.. especially the baseball slow mo thing during the Finrak Andre battle. Its really neat to see how much you two improved in skill over the series too.
Beautiful work.. I see you have episode 18 up on your website. I'll really have to check it out. This series really
contributed to me getting into flash too. Kudos on the near completion of a spectacular series!!
I just love the fight sequences they're done so damn good! I look forward to another episode.

Doctrine of signatures Translation
More Languages:
The doctrine of signatures is a philosophy shared by herbalists from the time of Dioscurides and Galen. This doctrine states that herbs that resemble various parts of the body can be used to treat ailments of that part of the body. Examples include the plants liverwort; snakeroot, an antidote for snake venom; lungwort; bloodroot; toothwort; and wormwood, to expel intestinal parasites. A theological justification was made for this philosophy: "It was reasoned that the Almighty must have set his sign upon the various means of curing disease which he provided." The concept is still reflected in the common names of some plants whose shapes and colors reminded herbalists of the parts of the body where they were thought to do good. Scientists see the doctrine of signatures as superstition. There is no scientific evidence that plant shapes and colors help in the discovery of medical uses of plants. In similar doctrines from India, the sage Agasthiar is supposed to have had the capability to converse with plants to thus obtain from the plants which ailments and diseases they, the plants, could ameliorate and even cure.

Canton High School coach Gary Joe Kinne was released late Monday, said John Moore, a spokesman at Trinity Mother Frances Hospital.
Kinne was critically injured April 7 at the school's field house when, police say, Jeffrey Robertson shot him in the abdomen. Kinne's condition had improved to fair after several surgeries, including procedures on his severely damaged liver, where the bullet left a fist-sized hole, Moore said.
Robertson could face life in prison if convicted of a first-degree felony assault charge, prosecutor Leslie Poynter Dixon has said. Robertson, whose son played freshman football, had several confrontations with students and coaches. He had been banned from school property at the time Kinne was shot.
A message left at a number listed for the Kinne family was not immediately returned Tuesday.
