The GBT Dynamic Scheduling System: "When do I observe?" Guiding Users' Expectations

Because of variable local weather in Green Bank, West Virginia, along with the wide frequency coverage of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), substantial improvement in efficient use of telescope time is possible by dynamically scheduling observers within a time range when weather forecasts are reliable; however, using the best forecasts would require observers to be constantly "on-call." During the 2008 summer trimester beta testing, the GBT Dynamic Scheduling System (DSS) attempted to mitigate this inherent conflict by 1) compromising between the best weather forecasts vs. short-term observer notification, and 2) providing earlier indicators of the likelihood of being selected by the scheduling algorithms. These indicators were derived from simulations based on Green Bank weather forecasts from previous years and from relative project rankings covering the entire time range of available weather forecasts. We report our experience on the generation of the information, its presentation, and its use by observers.

You talk about decorating with wonderful colors and I would love to use more in my home, but I am afraid I'll make the wrong choice. Any advice?
Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to a more colorful life. That said, I do have a suggestion, so you'll feel more confident using color. The first step: Find an existing or new print for your room. It can be a drapery or an upholstery fabric, wallpaper or an area rug. Select two or three colors from that print that you like. Next step: Go to the paint store, and buy the smallest amount of paint colors that match these two or three colors. Then, stop at the craft store, and buy two or three foam core boards. Paint at least two coats of paint on these boards and let dry.
Now, move these color boards around your room. How do they look with your furnishings? Look at them during the daytime and nighttime. Which one looks best and makes you feel good? You might have just found your color. Trust me, the right color will speak to you—and you'll make the perfect choice.

text: Tammi Boiko of Mission Viejo wears a lot of hats in the medical field and that's fine by her. Boiko, 51, is not only a Registered Nurse but she is also a certified diabetes educator, and the manager of the Diabetes Clinic at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center. She has an Associate's Degree in nursing from Saddleback College and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Vanguard University. Boiko shares that she become interested in educating people about diabetes when her husband and two of her three daughters were diagnosed as insulin Dependent, Type 1 diabetic. "After my second daughter was diagnosed in 1990, I knew I wanted to be a diabetes educator," she says. At work, she's busy at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, which is the only American Diabetes Clinic in the Saddleback Valley. It offers weekly classes on diabetes education, including: medications, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, weight management. Of course, she also likes to volunteer her time and says that any time the hospital hosts community health education programs; she provides counseling on diabetes management. She is also the President of the Orange County Diabetes Educators, Orange ADE, Chapter of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. "Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to the community that I raised my family. Volunteering allows me to get out of my clinic and get to the people with diabetes, especially the patients who are unable to drive to the clinic. I feel good when I am able to help someone feel good about living with diabetes; it is not a fun disease to live with," she shares. All of this boils down to the simple fact that nursing has enhanced and benefited her life more than she could ever imagine, she says. "My life is enhanced every time a patient comes to the clinic and I am able to provide life knowledge along with clinic practice guidelines. The smile on a patient's face or the caregiver's, makes my career very rewarding. And every time I attend a conference on diabetes, I learn more, which allows me to keep my husband and daughters up to date on diabetes care and management," she says. What she enjoys most is most is when a patient first arrives at the clinic, new to the diagnosis of diabetes. "They are usually afraid, sad and many feel guilty that they 'caused' the disease due to their lifestyle. I love to sit with the patient, allow them to experience their fears and concerns, cry if needed, and then give them a positive comment, such as, 'I understand how you are feeling, I have been there too, but you will learn how to live with diabetes, and no questions is off limits.' Then, I get a hug. To touch a life with a touch and a smile makes my day." Currently, there are 24 million people in the United States diagnosed with diabetes, 5.7 million prediabetic and 57 million undiagnosed, she adds. And there are only 15, 000 certified diabetes educators in the US, average age -- 54, she says. "Diabetes touches every aspect of a person's being, vision, heart disease, feet, and much more. As diabetes educators, we become friends with the patients, sometimes for the rest of their lives," she says. Coming up on her 30th wedding anniversary to husband Marty, the couple has three daughters, Jackie, 26, Kim, 24, and Kelli, 21. In her spare time, when she has some, she likes to hang out with friends, go to the movies, camping and supports the LA Lakers As for what lies ahead for Boiko, she says, "I love working in diabetes education. I would like to have my Master's in nursing completed within the next 5 years. I would like to see the Saddleback Memorial Medical Center Diabetes program be identified as a center of excellence in diabetes education and training. I would also love to be a grandmom."

UAE to host motor sport initiative
Dubai, June 24, 2013
One of five regional selection events to identify the world's top young driving talent is set to take place in the UAE, in September.
The global motor sport initiative, to take place from September 22 to 25, will deliver eight of the best young drivers in the world into the revamped FIA Institute Young Driver Excellence Academy.
The programme aims to find and develop the next generation of world motorsport champions. It will feature training events at locations across Europe over the following season.
Up to 26 national motor sport authorities from across the Mena region and beyond will each send a nominated driver to the UAE.
The best drivers from the event, and the others being held for Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, will enter the full academy programme along with three wild card selections, said a statement.
The UAE was chosen to stage the Mena event based on its achievements as one of only five Regional Training Providers on behalf the FIA, motor sport's governing body.
The original format of the FIA Institute Young Driver Excellence Academy allowed for the training of around 30 drivers in the previous seasons, with about half of these taking part in the full academy programme, it said.
The format was revised based on recommendations from the Mena assembly of motor sport authorities in Doha in February. "This new structure will see a much greater uptake than before, particularly from developing countries," said Dr Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the FIA vice president.
The ATCUAE said it will shortly announce its own candidate for the regional selection event, and confirm the venue.
All drivers nominated for the Academy programme must meet certain criteria based on age, experience, ambitions and language skills. The Academy curriculum is led by former Formula One driver and two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans champion, Alex Wurz, along with 2001 World Rally Champion co-driver Robert Reid. - TradeArabia News Service

Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission to hire Nashville law firm to Investigate Employee GrievanceMontgomery County, TN – The Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission voted to hire Nashville attorney, H. Rowan Leathers III of the Nashville law firm Miller & Martin PLLC, to investigate an employee grievance filed by John Spainhoward against Mabel Larson, a member of the planning commission. In a special called meeting on Wednesday, Clarksville City Attorney Lance Baker and Montgomery County Attorney Austin Peay gave three recommendations to the commission for their consideration. There wasn't much discussion about any of the law firms, and the commission voted to hire Leathers because he had offered to handle the case for a "flat fee." The other two attorneys were over $280.00 per hour, and couldn't put a time frame on what their investigation would cost.Planning commissioner Bryce Powers had some serious concerns about spending the taxpayers dollars on an investigation, then not knowing if the planning commission could even do anything about it once it was completed. Chairman Mike Harrison echoed Powers' concerns, but there was no support from other commissioners. Lance Baker emphasized to the commissioners that they could conduct an investigation themselves, but because the subject of the investigation is also a planning commissioner there would be criticism and questions raised about what they had done. Commissioner Robert Nichols asked if they knew what the commission could do about the grievance, what actions if any they could take, and what would satisfy John Spainhoward after the grievance had been settled. There were very few answers to those questions. Baker told the planning commission they had three options:
Neither Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan nor Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers were in attendance as they were on an inner-city visit to Iowa. Chairman Harrison reiterated his contention that Spainhoward's grievance is "probably a civil matter" and can't be decided within the Regional Planning Commission. Newly hired Planning Director Dave Ripple was at today's meeting, but had little comment on the proceedings. Follow Clarksville Online for an in depth interview with Dr. Ripple this weekend.

NH police investigate report of shots fired
Sunday, September 16, 2012
SALEM, N.H. (AP) � Salem police are investigating reports of gunshots being fired in a residential neighborhood. Police say officers responded to a report of several shots being fired at about 2:20 a.m. Sunday, and that a witness said he saw two men get out of a car and one of them fire several rounds nearby Interstate 93. Police later found a car matching the description of the vehicle and charged 19-year-old Jonathan Mai of Lowell, Mass, with carrying a firearm without a license, and 19-year-old Bophann Pech of Lynn, Mass., with possession of alcohol by a minor. Police say they can't definitively link the men to the gunshots because the shell casings left behind where the shots were fired were of a different caliber than the firearm confiscated from the car. |

Marine Vet Daughter: This Would Have Killed My Dad
I am the daughter of a Marine. Not just any Marine; [withheld name], Deceased. He was a combat veteran of WWII, Korea, covert mission(s) into [withheld], and [withheld]. I am also the cousin of two Marines and two USAF officers.
I am well read on topics such as world history, military history, strategy, philosophy, etc. I was raised to understand the difference between a fact and
an opinion; to instinctively mistrust and to investigate anything my government tells me; and to trust my own instincts and intellect in all things.
In von Clauswitz's On War, there is a chapter on what war is not, and what it should never be used for. Bush is obviously dislexic; he's done every single
thing a leader is not supposed to do.
He has sadly misused one of the premier fighting forces this planet has ever seen, and made us a laughing stock; worse, emboldened our enemies, by giving the appearance of weakness and incompetence. This is the second time in my life this has happened, and the first time I am glad my father is dead, because this would kill him.
There is a new twist, though, perhaps one the mental heath professional who posts here could address:
It doesn't seem to be 'politics as usual' but, 'the politics of greed'. I think I'm on to something here, because, unlike Bush, I have this axiom carved on my bones: Know thine enemy, so that their defeat is not only possible, but likely.
Thank you for providing this forum, where I can read so many eloquent statements by men and women in uniform, and hear the voice of my father. He may be gone, but the message lives on.
"The Bush administration has built a house of cards and the wind is blowing. And guess what? It's hurricane season!"

Race Result
I'll take the four points! YES!
I look forward to next week's race! It'll be tense, I'm sure, since the Grand Prix de Monaco is the one everybody wants to win.
@joey-zyla only 1 point for 8th. 1st-10pt 2nd-8pt 3rd-6pt 4th-5pt 5th-4pt 6th3pt 7th-2pt 8th1pt
4th, absolutely brilliant. Looks like going on options for the last stint was the right choice after all.
We are using the same formation as the current F1 point system.
I'm confused.
@joey-zyla. :S I don't know. Last race I got 10pts for a win so I don't think it is current pts.
Fifth – I was definitely hoping for more with that second place grid slot. Just curious: how did I loose four places in six laps?
Just curious: how did I loose four places in six laps?
You, along with everyone else who attempted to do some 20 laps on prime tyres were swamped by the much faster cars on fresh options in the last 3 laps.
Oh, and I can't believe some of the mistakes I'm making. Changing Ice Truck Killer's name mid-race or using the wrong point format. :P
Yay, I hit the cliff!

How Can Boards Prevent Gupta-Like Information Leaks?
by Julie DiMauro on June 19, 2012
The insider-trading conviction of Rajat Gupta, a former McKinsey group chairman and a-list board member, had federal prosecutors and securities regulators glowing. But companies face stiff challenges protecting their boards from breaches of confidentiality by directors and the reputational and other damages that ensue, consultants and lawyers said.
The conviction also draws a contrast with the relative lack of high-level prosecutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis, which analysts said was rooted in practices harder to establish a case on. A Manhattan federal court jury on Friday found Gupta, a former director of Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble, guilty of leaking material nonpublic information on Goldman to Raj Rajaratnam, head of the Galleon hedge fund group. Gupta was convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and three counts of tipping Rajaratnam about Goldman, but was acquitted of leaking information on P&G, and of one Goldman-related count.
Gupta faces up to five years in prison on the conspiracy charge and up to 20 years on each of the fraud charges when federal judge Jed Rakoff sentences him, which is scheduled for October 18.
Rajaratnam is serving an 11-year prison sentence.
"Almost two years ago, we said that insider trading is rampant, and today's conviction puts that claim into stark relief," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
The evidence showed that Gupta called Rajaratnam within about 60 seconds of a Goldman board meeting approving a $5 billion investment by Berkshire Hathaway and within 23 seconds of learning that Goldman was facing its first quarterly loss as a public company, Bharara's office said. The first call resulted in significant gains by Rajaratnam's funds and the second call avoided millions of dollars in losses.
"Those who engage in insider trading, irrespective of their station in life, can expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," added Robert Khuzami, enforcement director of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which separately sued Rajaratnam, Gupta and others for violating the federal securities laws.
What – if anything – can boards do to protect themselves?
The verdict indeed warns corporate officers and directors to not commit securities fraud, but neither Bharara nor Khuzami addressed guidance to boards on how to protect themselves against insiders sharing boardroom or executive suite secrets. Companies have fewer tools than enforcement authorities.
"The insider trading-related violation that Mr. Gupta is alleged to have engaged in, tipping outsiders with information he gleaned in his role as director, is particularly difficult for an issuer to prevent," Philip Thomas, director of Asian operations for CompliGlobe, a regulatory adviser, told Thomson Reuters Accelus. "The tools the government used in this instance – bugged conversations and informants – helped make the case against Mr. Gupta. These are not tools ordinarily at an issuer's disposal," he said.
If the insider does not personally trade on information, there may be little that boards can do to prevent a director from tipping off an associate.
"It is very difficult to monitor a director's phone calls and communications. The directors are not usually employees, and if they decide they want to share inside information, there is little the company can do to stop them. Using insider information, however, is a different story. Companies should monitor trading by their directors and insiders and be on the lookout for any unusual trading in advance of any corporate announcements," added a financial industry legal source who asked to not be identified because of professional ties to companies named in the charges against Gupta.
Thomas said companies need to review their policies in light of the Gupta case.
"Boards should redouble their efforts in the area of insider-sharing prevention and detection, and be held to account where red flags have been ignored. … Internal counsel should be, at this moment, preparing a briefing for their boards on the implications of the Gupta situation. And a review of the policies designed to prevent insider-trading abuses by directors should also be underway by the chief compliance officer, with lessons learned from recent cases baked in," Thomas told Thomson Reuters Accelus.
One immediate impact of the verdict may be to focus on directors' business and other relationships, which are often among the reasons they were nominated in the first place, said Francis H. Byrd, senior vice president and corporate governance risk practice leader at Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC in New York City.
"Boards will need to spend more time on determining potential conflicts and examining the potentially problematic relationship of their board members. But it should be noted strongly that no review system or conflict check will fully deter people motivated to commit disclosing material information. Independent directors should be asking their boards to review existing director and officers policies and understand that coverage in the event a director is found to have breached his or her fiduciary duties to the company," said Francis H. Byrd, senior vice president and corporate governance risk practice leader at Laurel Hill Advisory Group, LLC in New York City.
Another immediate impact may be to sow distrust in the boardroom.
"Board members may never look at each other across the table the same way again after the Gupta verdict. At the present time, compliance procedures relating to board members on a personal level are not widely used; however, we believe this area may be further developed in the future as a result of the Gupta case," added Judy Gross, a principal of JG Advisory Services LLC in New York City.

One comment
It is more of prevention which is required to limit the Insider trading Issues. Directors must not only know that they are being watched but also some exemplary cases be brought forward making prevention tools more effective for others to see.
Once they know that watch is not only for the sake, they will be very careful in doing such shameful act as Gupta did. Who wants to loose such good positions just for some financial gains. In my opinion these people should also be penalized financially to root out such menace.

Now this is an emergency. An A&K emergency. As our guests watched a family of bathing elephants in Botswana's tannin-hued Okavango Delta they noticed the calm confident guide making a slightly agitated,surreptitious radio call. Were they in danger?
'No,' the guide assured them. 'Everything's under control.' He wasn't bluffing. A few minutes later, a motor launch rounded the river bend and sped towards them, before its driver, with James Bond panache, lobbed a couple of limes to the guide. Crisis averted. Sunset G&T could now be served with ice and a slice.

I really adored this one. How unexpected and unfair life can be, how a young man has to become a whole other person because of a horrible accident, but how, in the end, the selfsame person can have his fortune turn for the better and he can once again be who he was supposed to be from the beginning.
I loved the dynamics of the relationship between Carlos, Antoine and Malcom and the one between Cassidy, Denny and Lindsay - they seemed so genuine and authentic and you could really feel how they loved each other.
It's definitely a story I will be reading again in the future.

I liked the idea of the bad boy gone good. Usually you read about just the opposite. I do like Cassidy's description of Malcolm the first time Malcolm and "Jonathan" meet... A scrapper :) The family dynamics of both guys is what makes the book a real keeper. I love the way Malcolm and his brothers snipe and bicker but stand by each other. And Cassidy's brother and sister are a treat... especially Lindsay. But it's clear how close they are when Denny calls Cassidy when things get too deep at a party. He knows his brother will be mad, but his brother will be THERE for him. Love the book, another good one from Megan.

Michael Fiers - Fiers had his QS streak stopped at 9 last night in Colorado, as the 27 year old rookie allowed eight runs on nine hits in just two-plus innings. Fiers really has been brilliant since his promotion to Milwaukee, and I'm fine with throwing out a Coors Field start from any analysis, so let's just look at the other 12 starts. The K/BB ratio of 5 jumps out at you, although the swinging strike% is merely solid, leading me to believe that hitters will catch up to him a bit more as their familiarity with him increases. He's been very fortunate with his bullpen performance, his BABIP, and his HR/FB, so we're looking more at a high-3.00's type of an arm than a potential ace, particularly with his extremely low GB rate. He reminds me a bit of his rotation-mate Shaun Marcum, in that he really makes his living off of offspeed pitches, has excellent control, and allows a ton of flyballs. Pitching in the NL Central, that can make for a pretty valuable SP, so I remain comfortable slotting Fiers in as a mid-rotation starter when he isn't pitching in Colorado or the like.
Rob Brantly - Rob Brantly is heading to the majors today and will start at C for the Marlins according to Ozzie Guillen, making him an instant waiver claim in deeper leagues and NL-only formats in my opinion. Just 23 years old, Brantly is fresh off a 365/377/558 line at AAA New Orleans in 14 games since the trade from Detroit. He has shown the ability to hit for average and has moderate power...at this point he's likely only around average in both areas but there is room for growth. I'd expect that he will platoon with John Buck the rest of the way as the Marlins try to determine whether he will need more time at AAA or whether he can be their #1 backstop in 2013, so as a second catcher in formats of average depth or greater you could do worse.
Domonic Brown - Brown is going to play every day the rest of the way with the Phillies completely into "player evaluation" mode, and thus far he's hit 279/380/349 through 13 games. He's still just 24 and has loads of potential across the board, so if the Phillies will just leave him alone finally he should be a worthwhile add in most formats now. He has 20-HR power and 10-SB speed to go along with a solid approach at the plate....I'm excited to see what he can do with consistent playing time.
Michael McKenry - McKenry continues to hit when called upon, going 1-2 with a pair of walks and an RBI last night in the 5-4 loss to LA. Most of McKenry's skills seemed to dwindle as he progressed up the ladder in Colorado, making him something of an afterthought in Pittsburgh this year, but he's managed a line of 283/360/566 through 152 ABs and his playing time is steadily increasing. He doesn't make enough contact to expect the AVG to hold up, but he'll draw a walk and obviously has some power, although just how much is in question. He is definitely proving himself to be worth a spot in NL-only leagues, and he's starting to look like a play in deeper mixed leagues as a 2nd catcher as well.
Josh Vitters - Vitters is just 2-20 with 5 K's in his first 7 games with the Cubs, but this is really nothing unusual for the 22 year old. Vitters has struggled initially at every level except AAA before catching his stride in his second season at the new level, so while I wouldn't expect an awful lot from him down the stretch in 2012, he does have the potential to be a solid starter at 3B next season. His plate discipline is going to cause him some problems of course, but with clear 20+ HR power at his young age he will likely be worth a gamble come spring.

A good friend of mine taught my daughter and I a fun game to play on the beach that has become a family tradition.
As soon as someone spots a colony of pelicans, he or she blurts out either "even" or "odd." The person that they are with calls out what they think the count will be as well.
Then, simply count how many pelicans there are and see if it is an even or odd number. This is a effortless game that catches on quickly and always produces smiles and laughs when it is played. Especially if someone yells out "ODD!" and you see there is only one pelican!

I have a reservation in a couple weeks for an Escalade from DEN. I just wanted to see if anybody had gotten one from DEN recently. How were the miles on the vehicle low/high? Was it a 2012 or 2011 model? Finally was it nicely equipped or baseline?
Thanks for any help!

Reflecting Absence
Published: January 15, 2004
Somewhere down the road, the name "Reflecting Absence" will probably become a historical footnote. That name describes a design by Michael Arad and the landscape architect Peter Walker, a plan chosen by a jury, elaborated with their help and presented to the public in detail for the first time yesterday. But when construction is finished, when visitors wander through what Mr. Walker called "the forest grove" and come upon the voids marking the footprints of the twin towers, "Reflecting Absence" will have become, simply, the 9/11 Memorial. The anonymity of that name � the way it takes for granted the design's expressive power � will be the highest compliment the public can pay the designers and the jury that selected them.
The program for the memorial competition specified a number of conditions the winning design must meet. As a result, it goes without saying that "Reflecting Absence" provides private meditative space for the families of 9/11 victims and that it names each of the nearly 3,000 people who died on Sept. 11, 2001, and during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. This design succeeds by making those requirements look natural and necessary. But it also succeeds, on a much broader scale, by invoking the presence of water, trees and rock. The water defines the voids and cascades down through them.
The initial version of "Reflecting Absence" was powerful but stark. The memorial design jury performed a great service to the city by encouraging revisions that produced a purity of design deserving strong protection. The design that was revealed yesterday is one in which privacy and community work together, where one can find intimacy in the broad expanse of ground zero. Above all, it is a place where the urban texture of lower Manhattan is reunified and given something it never had before: an inviting, natural, open space

The Football Association has paid tribute to the Charlton Athletic Race and Equality Partnership (CARE) at a special event to mark its 20th anniversary.
CARE was founded in 1992 by the south London club and the Royal Borough of Greenwich and has worked tirelessly to tackle discrimination and promote inclusion. The gathered guests on Saturday afternoon included stakeholders from across the game as well as young people who have directly benefitted from CARE's work
The keynote address at the Valley ahead of their game with Middlesbrough was given by Kick It Out Chairman Lord Ouseley while leading campaigner Paul Elliott - a former Addicks defender - also gave a passionate speech about how a collective, collaborative approach was the key to tackling discrimination.
Club England Managing Director Adrian Bevington had the honour of closing the afternoon's proceedings, which were captured by the FATV cameras.
In his speech, Bevington spoke out about the importance of CARE's work, which is a leading voice on The FA's own race equality advisory group. He said: "As indicated by the partnership approach behind CARE and the collective will within this room, we are better if we work together and unite in a common aim.
"The FA will of course continue to support Kick It Out and champion its superb record under Lord Ouseley in educating and engaging the public – particularly young people. Show Racism The Red Card has also done so much in this regard too.
"Prejudice and discrimination has no place in football, and society as a whole, in 2013. One incident is one too many."
Bevington also focused on the need for more black and ethnic minority coaches, and cited The FA's COACH bursary programme under Brendon Batson as a major initiative within the forthcoming 150th anniversary activity in 2013.
He added: "As a priority, we must encourage the importance of black and ethnic minority players taking coaching qualifications and inspire confidence in them that job opportunities will follow.
"The vision must be when we come to recruit England Managers in the future, there must be genuine black and ethnic minority candidates who are fully qualified and have strong CVs through being given opportunities to manage at the highest level in this country."
He also reiterated The FA's strong stance against homophobia, reminding that there needs to be a 'so what?' culture in the game to anyone who chooses to come out. There was also reference to the need to actively encourage more players, coaches and administrators from the Asian community.
In conclusion, he said: "These are all matters of priority for the year ahead, along with gender equality and disability equality, and for our future vision but I stress it is important to also celebrate the good in our game and those that are working hard every day for positive change.
"I would like to commend once more the Charlton Athletic Race & Equality Partnership."

FORT LAUDERDALE -- City commissioners on Tuesday decided not to reopen the public restrooms on the Strip. Instead, they agreed to install portable restrooms along the beach on State Road A1A for the rest of the tourist season.
City officials recently closed the public restrooms on the beach at State Road A1A and East Las Olas Boulevard. Officials said the restrooms had to be closed because they were being vandalized and were used by vagrants and drug dealers and for sexual activity.

Boi (green) and Hedgehog (Hh, red) are expressed in apical cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium (CIL# 13744). In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hh is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellular space of the local follicle stem cell niche (this image). Expression of Boi in apical cells in the boi[e] mutant rescues Hh localization to apical cells (CIL# 13746); however expression of a Boi mutant that lacks the Hh binding domain does not (CIL# 13747). Image is Fig 3B in J Cell Biol. 2010. 191: 943-952. Images in Fig 3 include CIL# 13744, 13745, 13746, 13747, 13748.
Technical Details
Fly ovaries were dissected and fixed as described previously (O'Reilly et al., 2008). For anti-Boi immunostaining, ovaries were fixed in 2% formaldehyde on ice. Primary antibodies were 1:50 rat anti-Boi (Hartman et al., 2010); 1:100 goat anti-Hh (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) or 1:100 rabbit anti-Hh (Ballet et al. 2003). Secondary antibodies used were FITC, Cy3, and/or Cy5 conjugated to species-specific secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.). Samples were mounted in Vectashield mounting medium. Images were collected at room temperature (22C) using 40× (1.25 NA) or 63× (1.4 NA) oil immersion lenses (Leica) on an upright microscope (DM 5000; Leica) coupled to a confocal laser scanner (TCS SP5; Leica). LAS AF SP5 software (Leica) was used for data acquisition. Images representing individual channels of single confocal slices from the center of each germarium were exported as TIFF files, and images were converted to figures using Photoshop software (Adobe).

A central Texas school district is making an extra effort to stop bullying.
A central Texas school district is making an extra effort to stop bullying.
On the heels of recent allegations of abuse by special education staff in Lexington schools, a third Lexington family has come forward alleging their son was not only put in a seclusion room while a first-grader at Fiske Elementary School, but was also physically restrained while a third-grader at the Estabrook School.
Iowa public schools have a new tool to report and track bullying incidents in detail as they happen throughout the year.
As he rode the morning school bus and sat in first-period class Tuesday, the 13-year-old student at Stemmers Run Middle School in Essex gave no indication that he had a cellphone-size gun in his pocket — much less that he planned to pull it on his classmates and teacher, according to official reports.
Calhoun County school officials are reviewing their classroom absence policies in the wake of the temporary disappearance of a kindergartner Tuesday morning.
A father's account, published over the weekend, of how his daughter was repeatedly locked in a "closet" as a Lexington kindergartner in 2006 prompted a rebuttal Monday from the town's school superintendent, leaving conflicting accounts of exactly what happened to her six years ago.
Gaston County Schools wants to start a chain reaction of caring one student at a time.
Pass a city school bus that has its lights flashing, and you may soon find a summons in your mailbox.
Plainfield police would like to put some extra firepower in the village's high schools.
When the bells ring in schools across Hamilton County on Monday morning, thousands of students who should be at their desks likely won't even be in school.
The Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough and the Southborough Police Department in collaboration with the Northborough Police Department have been chosen to be a host site for the "Safe School Initiative and Threat Assessment" training developed by the U.S. Department of Education and Secret Service.
Maryville school officials say about 80 percent of the district's 700 students will be subject to random drug testingwhen classes resume later this month.
The program helps low-income schools and districts implement anonymous bullying reporting program.
Repercussions from the horrific acts by Penn State's Jerry Sandusky reported by the media have yet to fully emerge.
The bullying epidemic continues, even as a multi-pronged crackdown by states and educators gathers steam.

CNGS Engineering
LAM-B Wellhead Platform
Simferopol, Ukraine
The LAM-B fixed platform is located at the Jeytun oil field in the Caspian Sea off the coast of Turkmenistan. It is designed for oil production, preparation, and transportation to the offshore subsea pipelines. CNGS Engineering provided EPC services including project management, engineering design, fabrication of the support jacket and deck sections, and procurement of components including process equipment, and control and power supply systems as well as installation and commissioning of the platform.
MicroStation-based plant design tools created a single 3D model and enabled the automatic generation of the drawings (plans, drawings) and isometric drawings, significantly reducing the time to create these deliverables and material take-offs. Together with Project Wise, mistakes were avoided relating to usage of irrelevant documents' revisions, and allocation of the right of access resulted in increase of a safety level both commercially and technically.
2009 FInALIST
Booster Pump Station With Preliminary Water discharge Facility
Yugra, Russia
Located in the Priobskoye field of the Yugansk oil region in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug of Russia, this project involved the design of several connected facilities – process site, industrial zone, administrative and common buildings, and engineering facilities. Specialists from many different disciplines took part in the design, including surveyors, technologists, architects, sanitary engineers, electrical engineers, and specialists in CAM and telecom.
Giprotyumenneftegaz used Bentley software at all stages, ranging from the engineering survey to functional design, plot planning, physical design, and estimate documentation. Using PlantSpace and Project Wise allow work to proceed in parallel for the different specialists on the same objects. The firm's work volume has increased eight times in the past four years and the firm has been six times more productive with the same number of personnel.

Tastes of Chicago
Lou Malnati's began shipping its pizzas all over the country in 1987. The service was initially offered during the holidays to satisfy Malnati fans that relocated outside of Chicago. After 10 years of shipping their famous deep dish, Lou Malnati's realized that ex-Chicagoans craved even more of the Windy City's favorite foods. It was then that they partnered with other fine restaurateurs in Chicago to provide them with the best tastes Chicago has to offer. This was the start of a tasty collaboration now known as Lou Malnati's Tastes of Chicago. Tastes of Chicago offers hometown Chicago favorites including: Carson's ribs, Eli's cheesecake, Vienna Beef hot dogs, Portillo's Italian beef, Garrett's Popcorn, Long Grove Confectionary's apple pies and chocolates, Manny's Deli corned beef, Wildfire steaks, and more! We also offer gift packages for any occasion, virtual gift cards, apparel and other merchandise from Lou's and select vendors.
Now, over 20 years later, Tastes of Chicago ships more than 250,000 pizzas throughout the year. Lou Malnati's pizza remains the most popular item shipped and we think that's because deep dish pizza just isn't the same anywhere outside sweet home Chicago! Lou Malnati's Pizzeria Considered the oldest family name in Chicago pizza, Lou Malnati's is as rich in history as its pizza is in flavor. Lou got his start in the 1940's, working with his father Rudy, in Chicago's first deep-dish pizzeria. Lou Malnati took his pizza expertise to Lincolnwood, a northern suburb of Chicago, where he and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati's Pizzeria on March 17, 1971. Lou was known for his fun-loving character as well as making Chicagoland's best pizza. Loyal patrons lined the streets on opening day for a taste of his delicious deep-dish creations. Lou always thought it was funny that an Italian should open a pizzeria in a Jewish neighborhood on an Irish holiday. But that was Lou's style, he loved all types of people and didn't care much about what people thought.
After meeting with an enormous success in Lincolnwood, Lou decided to open another pizzeria in a little northwestern suburb by O'Hare Airport, Elk Grove Village. Unfortunately, the Elk Grove location had a tough beginning. A major road construction project began a few months after the restaurants opening and for 14 months business suffered immensely. At one point the accountants advised Lou to close the doors before it ruined him. But Lou would have nothing to do with that idea and persevered. Sure enough, once the construction ended, people came in droves to Lou Malnati's Pizzeria in Elk Grove. In 1978, Lou Malnati met with an untimely death when he fell victim to cancer. Lou's oldest son Marc was just graduating from college and joined his mother in the family business. A few years later Marc's younger brother Rick finished his basketball career at downstate Illinois' Bradley University and he joined the family business as well. The company has continued to grow by building on the loyalty of their dedicated employees. Lou Malnati's is unique in the fact that people come to work for Malnati's and don't leave! Not only do they stay around for a long while, they recruit their family members to come work for Lou's. There are some cases of three generations of one family working for the Malnati's. Not long ago, the Malnati's recognized over 25 employees that had been part of the Malnati restaurant family for over 20 years! Quite a milestone for the restaurant business. This elite group consisted of managers, cashiers, waitstaff, cooks, and even bus boys. The longstanding tradition continues with almost 80 staff members that have been with Lou Malnati's for over 10 years. Carrying on Lou's vision of providing great food at reasonable prices Lou Malnati's has grown to include 30 family-owned Chicagoland pizzerias. In recent years the Malnati's have felt blessed by their success and wanted to do something to give back to the community. In the fall of 1995, the Malnati's opened a restaurant on the West side of Chicago in an effort to help rejuvenate a neighborhood that has not had much success in recovering from the riots of 1967 which ravaged the area. Lou Malnati's Lawndale pizzeria is unique in that any profits are given back to the community to benefit children's educational and recreational programs. Carson's Chicago institution since 1977, Carson's is the place visited by presidents, America's favorite athletes, stars of TV, the big screen, and literally millions of BBQ devotees. With hearty portions and a no holds barred attitude of offering only the finest quality available, Carson's promises to be a fabulous dining experience. For those seeking the best in an undeniably American dining tradition, Carson's is a must.
Founded by famed Chicago restaurateur Chris Carson, and still family owned, Carson's is regarded as the finest upscale BBQ restaurant in America. Carson's, uses the "indirect method", of smoking our meat on a large traditional BBQ pit smoker. Smoke and low-level heat generated from hickory (off to the sides) slowly cooks while also penetrating the meat with wonderful wood flavor. The smokers have a rotisserie system within the pit which permits them to slowly smoke 180 slabs at a time. While some barbecue purists insist that sauce never be part of the process, Carson's believes the opposite…those purists have just never tasted a great sauce! Carson's Signature BBQ Sauce is spectacular and that's why we use it generously. Many places brush sauce on the meat in the final grilling stage or offer it at the table. Carson's goes much further. Before we load our meat into the pit, we dip it into our sauce. This allows the sauce to permeate the meat as the hickory slowly does its job. Some suggest the sauce might cause the meat to burn. Carson's sauce is on the sweet side and it does not burn, especially when smoking at temperatures between 190° and 250°. So, no boiling! No tenderizers! No dry rub! No beer! Just authentic, slow-cooked barbecue. Eli's Cheesecake Eli M. Schulman opened his first restaurant, Eli's Ogden Huddle, on the west side of Chicago in 1940. Eli developed a reputation for being a wonderful host and serving great food which lead to him opening Eli's Stage Delicatessen just off Michigan Avenue in 1962 and then Eli's the Place for Steak in 1966.
It was in the kitchen at Eli's the Place for Steak that Eli developed his now famous cheesecake as his signature dessert. Eli's Cheesecake made its public debut outside the restaurant at the first Taste of Chicago that was held on Michigan Avenue on July 4, 1980. Eli's has been the #1 dessert at Taste since that time selling almost 2 million slices of cheesecake at the Taste alone. In order to support the growing cheesecake business, Eli's opened Eli's Cheesecake World on Chicago's northwest side. The 62,000 square foot state-of-the-art bakery includes a café and visitors center. Eli's has been named as the top food tour in the country by the Food Network and is a popular attraction with regularly scheduled classes and events like a weekly Farmers Market and the Annual Eli's Cheesecake Festival. Eli's is famous for creating giant cheesecakes for special events including the City of Chicago's 150th birthday, the Inaugural of President Clinton in Washington DC in 1993 and 1997, Hillary Clinton's 50th birthday at the Cultural Center in 1997 and the City of Chicago's Millennium Cake. Eli's is a family owned business that is committed to promoting Chicago and its civic and cultural institutions. Eli's has an educational and business partnership with Wright College and the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. Each year, Eli's supports over 1,200 organizations with donations of cheesecake. Vienna Beef When two young immigrants brought their frankfurter recipe from Austria-Hungary to Chicago's World Fair/Columbian Exposition in 1893, they knew they were starting a taste sensation. What they didn't know was that they were starting an empire. The new-fangled hot dog sandwich -- a pure beef frankfurter in a steamed bun with yellow mustard, bright green relish, chopped onion, tomato wedges, a kosher pickle spear, sport peppers and a dash of celery salt -- quickly became Chicago's favorite treat. It wasn't long before the entire country discovered Vienna.
The Chicago-style hot dog hasn't changed, and neither has Vienna® Beef's commitment to quality. Customers know that Vienna® Beef means goodness throughout, from the 100% domestic beef and sweet brisket trimmings to the high-tech processing and old-world hickory smoking, all prepared in our USDA Establishment 1 approved facility. Customers know the "V" means pure Chicago flavor -- without a single unnatural additive or undeserved compliment. Though Vienna enjoys a strong retail presence, it's the restaurants and hot dog stands that have made us who we are. We happily help new customers with equipment and strategy suggestions and we also provide them with point-of-sale typically displaying our famous "V" logo. Their customers return the favor by lining up. In Chicago, more than 80% of the 1,800-plus hot dog vendors proudly feature Vienna® Beef products. Sports fans have enjoyed our products for years, from where the Sox and Cubs swing, the Bulls hold court, and the Blackhawks take the ice. Also, millions of people can sample a "Chicago Style" hot dog at the Taste of Chicago. We'll never forget our roots. Nevertheless, over half of our business now extends beyond our hometown, reaching as far as Europe, Denmark, Mexico and the Pacific Rim. Our trusted distributors make sure that whether you are in Phoenix or Tokyo, you can taste Chicago in every Vienna bite. Vienna remains a family-run business with a hometown flavor. Our horizons may be wider, but our approach hasn't changed since 1893: use the finest ingredients to make the best products; honor the smallest requests with a big effort; and serve up a taste that will stir memories and open doors. More than ever, the Vienna® Beef logo is the sign of great-tasting food products and people who care. Portillo's Dick Portillo was born at 1333 West Van Buren in Chicago, Illinois. His family then moved to a government-subsidized housing project on Mohawk Street, called Mother Francis Cabrini Housing Project, now part of Cabrini Green. After his father started earning an income of $2,000 a year, they were prompted to leave and moved to 1617 South Central Park. His family later moved to the southwest suburbs. He was a 1957 graduate of Argo Community High School at 63rd and Harlem.
The first Portillo's hot dog stand known as "The Dog House" opened in 1963 on North Avenue in Villa Park. Owner and Founder Dick Portillo, invested $1,100 into a 6'x12' trailer without a bathroom or running water. To get the water he needed, he ran a 250 ft. hose from an adjacent building into his trailer. By 1967 "The Dog House" was a success and was ready for a new look. After it was remodeled it was renamed "Portillo's". Over the years it has grown: Portillo's expanded to Southern California in 2005, and is continuing to look at future expansion into Indiana. The stores' decor reflect Dick Portillo's love of history. From 1920's, '30's and '50's themes, to a Colorado mine shaft he visited, to a Chicago street scene reminiscent of his old 16th and Central Park neighborhood, each restaurant has a distinctive atmosphere that is very personal to him. |

Starting with this column, I'll take a look back at the week that was in college football, first centering on Ohio State's last game, then moving on to some odds and ends for the rest of the nation. The Buckeyes got a big-time scare from the Naval Academy, nearly blowing a fifteen-point fourth-quarter lead before hanging on to win, 29-27. Running their archaic option offense to near-perfection, the Midshipmen confused Ohio State's defense, while the Buckeye offense moved in fits and starts, struggling to run the ball and continually hurting itself with dropped passes and untimely penalties. Nevertheless, Jim Tressel's team produced enough big plays- by Terrelle Pryor on offense and by Thad Gibson, Kurt Coleman and Brian Rolle on defense- to subdue the feisty Middies and stay unbeaten going into next week's showdown with USC.
Let's talk about the game that was.
Line of Contention: First things first- Navy is a good football team. They don't make mistakes. They don't beat themselves with stupid penalties and turnovers. They run a scheme that is almost impossible to prepare for, and they run it with the crispness and confidence of a team that knows exactly what it is doing. The Midshipmen were disciplined and opportunistic on Saturday and they never gave up the ship, even when it looked hopeless for them. And Ricky Dobbs is one tough hombre.
Okay, now that the sportsmanship quota is filled, we can talk about what Ohio State didn't do well on Saturday- specifically, the play of the offensive line, which once again failed to control scrimmage against a smaller, lighter opponent that was also missing its best defender in nose guard Nate Frazier. The Buckeyes ran for just four yards per carry and were stonewalled in a number of short-yardage situations, most notably midway through the fourth quarter when Jim Tressel disdained the field goal on the Navy fifteen and watched Dan Herron get stuffed on fourth-and-two.
To tell you the truth, I've about given up on the offensive line looking halfway decent under Jim Tressel. Nine seasons the Vest has been here, and the Buckeyes haven't once had a top-flight line in any of those seasons. Don't tell me about the rushing numbers put up by Messrs Clarett, Pittman and Wells either- a good running back can make a mediocre offensive line look competent, which is what those guys did by bouncing off tacklers, stiff-arming defenders and making plays on their own, with precious little help from the big guys with the big numbers. The Buckeyes just haven't gotten it figured out up front for years now, and don't look for that to change any time soon.
About that fourth-and-two: Running Dan Herron up the middle probably wasn't the best call in that situation- I'd like to see Mr. Pryor outside the pocket there- but it was an attitude call on the part of the Vest. Ohio State had been in second-and-three on that possession before Brandon Saine and Dan Herron had gained one yard on back-to-back carries that were blown up at the line of scrimmage. Tressel, in my humble opinion, was challenging his offense- in particular his offensive line. With a fifteen-point lead, the clock, and field position in his hand, he was putting it on them to get three yards in three plays. And of course, they couldn't do it.
Watching the play unfold, I was reminded of Tressel's fourth-and-one call on his own twenty-nine late in the first half of the BCS title game against Florida. In that case the Buckeyes had also just been stopped on a third-and-short, and by going for it Tressel seemed to be challenging his team, testing to see if they were man enough to get the yardage. The score, field position and time of the games were very much different, but the intent, the challenge, seemed to be the same. Sadly enough, so was the result.
I'm not pretending to be Joe Bugal or anything: but I have to ask- what is with Ohio State's blocking scheme? Why are they asking their ponderous, 300-plus pound guards to pull so often when the operative thing would be to simply send them straight forward? Am I missing something here? Again, I'm no expert, but it looks to me like there's disconnect between Ohio State's offensive-line personnel and what they're being asked to execute. You want to run finesse zone schemes? Run it with smaller, more mobile linemen- not wide-bodies with their drawers sagging round their butts. At least, that's what I think.
On the Bauserman Series: Didn't pay it no nevermind. Ohio State was in control at 17-7 and Bauserman moved the team decently, getting a field goal out of his possession. The game shouldn't have been that close. I didn't get the quarterback draw, though. First with Todd Boeckman, now with Bauserman, the Vest has a bad habit of calling Terrelle Pryor plays for quarterbacks who aren't Terrelle Pryor.
Play of the Game: Without a doubt, it was Brian Rolle's 99-yard return of Navy's two-point conversion attempt with 2:15 remaining and the Buckeyes clinging to a 29-27 lead. The most impressive aspect of Rolle's big play wasn't the interception itself- Ricky Dobbs threw it right to him- but the way he ran away from Navy fullback Alexander Teich, who had the angle on the undersized linebacker at around the Ohio State ten-yard line but couldn't keep up. Thad Gibson's second-quarter chase down-and-strip of Dobbs, an awesome individual play which set up a touchdown to make it 17-7 Buckeyes, gets honorable mention.
Strange Call: Young Mr. Dobbs had just gashed Ohio State's defense for a twenty-four yard touchdown scamper off the option to make it 29-27 with 2:23 left. The Midshipmen were running their quaint offense to near-perfection and only needed to run it three more yards to knot the score and further spook the shell-shocked crowd at the Horseshoe. But instead of going for two with the option, Navy threw for it out of a spread formation. Dobbs fired it right between the three and the six on Brian Rolle's jersey, and the rest was history. I can't fathom why in the biggest play of the game, Ken Niumatalolo didn't dance with what brung him.
Terrelle Pryor: TP had an efficient afternoon, throwing for 173 yards and a touchdown on 14-of-21 attempts and rushing for thirty-one yards on six carries with another score. He wasn't quite as accurate as one would like- he missed a wide-open Duron Carter on a third-down play in the second half, forced Jake Ballard to make a leaping grab on a pass which, if delivered in the breadbasket, could have resulted in a big play, and airmailed Dane Sanzenbacher on the fourth-quarter interception that set the Academy up for its last score- but he made some nice throws as well, and again displayed the escape-ability that makes him one of college football's most exciting players.
Kurt Coleman: The better half of Ohio State's bookend senior safeties had nine tackles, a forced fumble and an interception on Saturday, and was probably the best defensive player on the field for either team.
Duron Carter: Cris's kid showed soft hands and good balance on his three receptions Saturday, just like the old man. He didn't do anything spectacular, but it was nice to see a true freshman out there making plays in his first-ever collegiate game.
Anderson Russell: Apparently, no one told young Mr. Russell that the operative thing to do late in a game in which you're winning and the opponent needs touchdowns is keep everything in front of you. In a painful reminder of his fatal blown coverage at last year's Fiesta Bowl, the lesser half of Ohio State's bookend senior safeties was toasted for an 85-yard touchdown that cut the Buckeye lead to 29-21 late in the fourth quarter.
Austin Spitler: Making his first career start, the fifth-year senior looked painfully slow against Navy and will no doubt look painfully slower against Joe McKnight and the rest of USC's armada of tailbacks.
Taurian Washington: The junior receiver had two critical drops in the first half of Saturday's game and finished without a reception. Washington has speed, a quality that the Buckeyes don't have in abundance, and he needs to perform a whole lot better to make this offense at least semi-potent.
Next Week's Opponent: USC
My mascot of antiquity can beat up your mascot of antiquity: The Trojans spotted the San Jose State Spartans a 3-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, than ran up the final 56 points unanswered. With the running game rolling up 343 yards, true freshman Matt Barkley pecked away at San Jose for 233 yards and a score on 15-of-19 attempts. Now, to be clear, San Jose State is not nearly as good as Navy. Still, the danger of Joe McKnight and Co. getting whatever they want in the middle of Ohio State's defense and letting their freshman quarterback luxuriate in the comfort of second-and-short is very real. It'll be the age-old story in Columbus next Saturday: whoever runs and stops the run most effectively will probably win.
Ex-Buckeye I'd most wish to see on Ohio State's offense next week: Walt Harris.
Ex-Buckeye I'd most wish to see on defense next week: Dan Wilkinson.
Around the Nation
Game of the Week- BYU-Oklahoma: In terms of importance and closeness of outcome, it's got to be BYU's 14-13 victory over third-ranked Oklahoma, the most significant win for the Cougars since Ty Detmer shot down top-ranked Miami in the 1990 season opener. The reverberations from this game will be felt all season- most especially if BYU goes on to run the table against a pretty respectable schedule.
Story of the Week- Greg Paulus's debut at Syracuse: With his skinny basketball player's body, Greg Paulus didn't look like a guy who was a highly sought-after prep quarterback at Syracuse-area Christian Brothers Academy four years ago. But at times he played that way during his first game directing the Orange, completing 19-of-31 for 167 yards and at one point leading a charge of seventeen unanswered points against visiting Minnesota. Still in full-feathered Duke point-guard mode, Paulus cajoled officials, exhorted teammates, and did everything but slap the Carrier Dome turf as the Orange battled from behind to take a 20-14 halftime lead. Unfortunately, enthusiasm wasn't enough: with the score tied in overtime, Paulus threw an ill-advised pass which was intercepted, setting up the Gophers for the game-winning field goal. Nevertheless, the young man performed well, considering he hadn't thrown a football in anger in nearly half-a-decade.
Big Winners
Brigham Young: The Cougars took a monstrous step in the BCS race by knocking out Sam Bradford and smothering Oklahoma, 14-13. There are three games against ranked teams remaining- Florida State, TCU and Utah- and all of them are in Provo. I know it's early to speculate, but if BYU finishes undefeated, Oklahoma bounces back and finishes in the top ten or fifteen, and the other dominos fall just so, the Cougars are going to have a legitimate shot to appear not just in a BCS game, but in the title game itself.
Michigan: The stock shots of stunned Wolverine fans with their hands gripped to their heads weren't in evidence on Saturday. Freshman Tate Forcier did his best Rick Leach impression, throwing for 179 yards and three scores while running for thirty-seven more as the Maize & Blue dominated Western Michigan, 31-7. The Broncos, with their excellent quarterback Tim Hiller, were supposed to give Michigan problems- but this one was over at halftime. An excellent start of the season for our buddies up North, especially considering the turmoil that gripped their program the past week.
Cincinnati: So much for Rutgers as my preseason Big East title favorite. The defending-champion Bearcats had something to say about that as they tore apart the Knights, 47-15. Tony Pike hit 20-of-25 passes for 286 yards in the first half alone, leading UC to a 31-7 halftime lead. Despite winning the Big East and appearing in a BCS bowl last season, Brian Kelly's team started this season outside the Top 25. They enter the AP rankings this week at number 23 and have a chance to generate serious buzz in two weeks when they head to Corvallis to take on Oregon State.
New SEC Coaches: Lane Kiffin, Gene Chizek and Dan Mullen started their tenures with blowout wins, as Tennessee throttled Western Kentucky 63-7, Auburn thumped Louisiana Tech 37-13 and Mississippi State dominated Jackson State 45-7. This Saturday Chizek and Mullen will go for win number two at the other's expense, as Auburn and Mississippi State meet for the first time since their dismal 3-2 struggle last September.
Big Losers
Oklahoma: There are a lot of games left to play, but the Sooners have already said "later" to their BCS title aspirations with their stunning loss to BYU. With a stated two-to-four-week recovery time for his sprained shoulder, Sam Bradford probably won't be back until the Red River Shootout with Texas on October 17, and in the meantime his team, already without Jermaine Gresham and saddled with a young and inexperienced offensive line, has to go to Miami to take on a seemingly revived Hurricanes team. Home tilts against Tulsa and Baylor might not be cakewalks either.
Oregon: Other than being whipped by a Boise team on which they'd sworn revenge, seeing their new coach upstaged by their old coach on national television, and having arguably their best player suspended for the season for bitch-slapping an opposing player after the final gun, Thursday night went rather swimmingly for the Ducks.
Illinois: The Illini got toasted for 319 yards by a quarterback making his first start (in all fairness, Blaine Gabbert wasn't expected to be chopped liver), got a mediocre performance out of Juice Williams, and got run out of the Building Formerly Known as the TWA Dome by underdog Missouri, 37-9. Ron Zook's troops had better handle business against Illinois State next week, because their following four opponents are Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State.
The ACC: It was not a good opening Saturday on the Atlantic Coast, which came up short against every level of Division I competition. Virginia Tech's come-from-ahead loss to Alabama in the weekend headliner was accompanied by Maryland's crushing defeat at Cal, Wake Forest's home loss to Baylor and N.C. State's ugly setback to South Carolina, while Virginia and Duke dropped games to FCS opponents William and Mary and Richmond. Clemson's 37-14 rout of Middle Tennessee State was the conference's only win over an FBS team.
This Week: Ohio State hosts USC. Dan Wismar and I will break down the showdown on Buckeye Friday, so tune in.
