Louisville, Kentucky In All-Bluegrass Battle It might appall some and leave others shaking their heads that a silly college basketball game could lead to fisticuffs. But then, this is no ordinary college hoops contest, and you've got to love a rivalry that sends two senior citizens into a brawl. Adding to the fun was the scuffle came while both men were getting treatment at a dialysis clinic. Welcome to the 2012 NCAA Final Four and the all-Bluegrass State matchup between the Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals. If a couple of guys in their late-60s, early-70s were this worked up three days before the game, imagine the atmosphere inside Mercedes-Benz Superdome by the time the game tips on CBS at 6:09 p.m. (ET). A quick check of the Don Best odds screen shows the game opened at Kentucky -8 with 138½ for the total. That spread has since been bumped up to 8½-9 in Las Vegas while the total ranges from 136½ to 138 at a majority of college basketball betting outlets. Both Final Four contests are rematches from earlier in the schedule. Saturday's second contest between Ohio State and Kansas (8:49 p.m. ET) went the way of the Jayhawks last Dec. 10, and the annual Louisville-Kentucky meeting took place on New Year's Eve. That Dec. 31 contest at Rupp Arena in Lexington was controlled by Kentucky despite the Wildcats failing to cover the 10-point spread in the 69-62 decision. Louisville's only lead came on a bucket about 10 seconds into the contest, though the Cardinals did manage to rally from a 15-point deficit to tie things at 40-40 five minutes into the second half. But UK still dominated the proceedings behind double-doubles from their two big men, Anthony Davis (18 points, 10 rebounds) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (24 and 19). Two phases of the game that Kentucky particularly dominated Louisville were rebounding and foul shooting. With neither team shooting well that Saturday afternoon (UK 29.8% from the field, UL 32.3%), the Wildcats' 49-28 advantage on the glass was huge. Kentucky also outscored the Cards 32-18 from the charity stripe. The free throw edge has followed the Wildcats during the NCAA Tournament with a 98-57 scoring margin in wins over Western Kentucky, Iowa State, Indiana and Baylor. The only team Kentucky didn't outscore in the free throw column was Iowa State who posted a slight 18-15 advantage over the 'Cats. Kentucky also shot just 3-of-16 from long-range in the win over Louisville, but has managed to improve that facet of its game during March Madness. The Wildcats, seeded No. 1 in the South Regional, shot nearly 45 percent from beyond the arc (22-of-49) in the four wins to claim a Final Four berth compared to 26.1 percent (17-of-65) in the four games prior. Louisville's run to the West Regional crown as a No. 4 seed didn't include the same eye-popping stats as Kentucky's 3-point or free throw shooting. The Cardinals did shoot a respectable 38.9 percent from 3-point land (23-of-59) in victories over Davidson, New Mexico, Michigan State and Florida, but only held a 52-44 scoring edge in those games from the charity stripe. Defense and a solid effort protecting the basketball have been on display, however, during Louisville's impressive 8-game run that started with four victories in the Big East Tournament and has continued through the NCAA's. The Cardinals have limited their dance partners to just over 38 percent shooting from the field while committing only 36 turnovers and forcing 51. Accompanying the 8-game win streak in the two tournaments is a perfect 8-0 record against the spread for Cardinals backers. The Wildcats missed the cover in their opening win over Western Kentucky, but have since posted three consecutive cash-outs in the triumphs against Iowa State, Indiana and Baylor. While the two teams have been covering spreads the past couple of weeks, they are at odds when it comes to wagering on totals. Six of Louisville's last eight contests have remained 'under' the total, leaving the Cards 20-15 to the low side for the season. All four of Kentucky's tournament games have jumped the number after the Wildcats started March Madness with a 22-10 'under' mark. The recent series between the two schools has heavily favored the 'under.' The last three meetings have finished short of the scoreboard hurdle by a combined 30½ points, with nine of the last 11 falling short of the total.
Ohio State, Kansas Clash In Final Four Nightcap The Final Four matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Kansas Jayhawks has plenty of star power, but could ultimately be decided by the supporting casts. Ohio State is a 2½-point favorite with a total of 136½-137. The spread is exactly where it opened for these No. 2 seeds. The Saturday coverage on CBS should start around 8:49 p.m. (ET) after the in-state, mega-clash between Kentucky and Louisville. The Buckeyes (31-7 straight up, 20-13 against the spread) won the East Region in Boston thanks to a 77-70 decision over top-seed Syracuse. They were 2½-point favorites despite being the lower seed as the Orange were missing center Fab Melo, suspended the whole tourney due to academics. Ohio State is 3-1 ATS during March Madness and 6-2 ATS in its last eight. The 147 combined points scored last game went well 'over' the 135½-point total. The 'over' is 4-0 for the Buckeyes this tourney (scoring 77.3 PPG and allowing 65.3 PPG) and 10-1 in their last 11 overall. The 'over' is also 13-4-1 in their road plus neutral site games this season. Big man Jared Sullinger took advantage of Melo's absence, scoring 19 points, including 9-of-12 from the line. He's listed as third in the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player odds, with three of the top-5 in this game (see table). Sullinger (17.6 PPG) is one of the nation's best low-post scorers and a legitimate wide-body. However, he's generously listed at 6-foot-9 and could struggle while being defended by seven-foot Kansas center Jeff Withey. Forward Deshaun Thomas (16.1 PPG) has led Ohio State in scoring the last four games at 21.8 PPG, and will have to step up big if Sullinger is neutralized. Shooting guard William Buford (14.4 PPG) is the third big scorer numbers-wise, but he's shot just 38.6 percent from the field since January 7, including 29.5 percent (13-of-44) during this tournament. Point guard Aaron Craft is a gritty player on both ends of the court, but not a huge scorer (8.8 PPG). Sophomore Lenzelle Smith Jr. (6.7 PPG), has exploded for 35 combined points the last two games, but can't be counted on that again. There is almost no bench production, although Kansas isn't much better. PLAYER MOP ODDS Anthony Davis (Kentucky) +200 Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Kentucky) +500 Jared Sullinger (Ohio State) +600 Thomas Robinson (Kansas) +800 Deshaun Thomas (Ohio State) +900 The Jayhawks (31-6 SU, 18-17-1 ATS) won the Midwest Region in St. Louis with an 80-67 decision over top-seed North Carolina. They were two-point closing favorites, buoyed by the Tar Heels being without injured point guard Kendall Marshall. Kansas is 2-2 ATS during March Madness, failing to cover the prior two in close wins over NC State (60-57) and Purdue (63-60). The 147 combined points scored last game went 'over' the 141½-point total. The 'under' was 3-0 in Kansas' first three tourney games, scoring 62.7 PPG and allowing 55.7. The Jayhawks have the height advantage down low in this contest with Withey and Thomas Robinson who is listed at 6-foot-10. Robinson (17.7 PPG) is the leading scorer for the year, but his points (15.8 PPG) and shooting percentage (37.9) are down this tourney. He'll be able to take OSU's Thomas down low, although there will be a mismatch on the other end when Robinson guards him on the perimeter. Guard Tyshawn Taylor (16.7 PPG) is the other big scorer and had a great game against North Carolina with 22 points. He was really helped by Marshall being out and replaced by the defensively-challenged Stilman White. Taylor will have a much tougher time against Craft and Kansas can't afford another 2-of-14 effort (six points) like against NC State. Look for the Jayhawks to get the ball into Withey (9.2 PPG) early, as he's a better scorer than given credit for (15 points vs. North Carolina) and they would love to get Sullinger into foul trouble. The rest of the starting lineup is guards Elijah Johnson (10.0 PPG) and Travis Relford (8.5 PPG). Both are juniors, but it's Johnson who has been more aggressive lately (15.8 PPG last six). Kansas beat Ohio State back on December 10 in Lawrence, 78-67 as 1½-point home favorites. Ohio State was undefeated and ranked second in the country heading in, but Sullinger was a late scratch with a back issue, shifting the spread. Robinson had 21 points, while Taylor had nine points and 13 assists despite playing with a knee injury. Buford and Thomas scored 21 and 19 respectively for OSU. Kansas coach Bill Self is under less pressure than Ohio's State's Thad Matta. After all, Self and the Jayhawks won the 2008 national title over a Memphis Tigers team coached by John Calipari. There's a good chance Calipari and Kentucky will win the Final Four opener on Saturday and be awaiting its opponent for Monday night's final. Matta made the national title game in 2007 with Greg Oden and company, but lost (84-75) to a juggernaut Florida squad that won its second championship in as many years. The Buckeyes still haven't won the whole thing since 1960 when Jerry Lucas starred.

Final Four Tips March 30, 2012 **Louisville vs. Kentucky** --As of Friday afternoon, most books had Kentucky (36-2 straight up, 15-21-1 against the spread) favored by 8 ½ or nine. As for the total, it was at 137 1/2 at most spots. U of L is plus-400 on the money line (risk $100 to win $400). --Louisville (30-9 SU, 22-13-1 ATS) has won eight straight games both SU and ATS, including this past Saturday's 72-68 come-from-behind win over Florida. Russ Smith scored 19 points in just 22 minutes off the bench to spark a 12-1 run that helped the Cardinals overcome an 11-point deficit with 8:14 remaining. Chane Behanan added 17 points, including several key buckets in the lane at crunch time. --Rick Pitino has U of L in its ninth Final Four and its first since 2005. The Cards won the Big East Tournament at MSG in NYC and then rolled off wins over Davidson (69-62), New Mexico (59-56) and Michigan St. (57-44) before beating the Gators. --Kentucky has taken the cash in three consecutive games since failing to cover the number in an 81-66 win over Western Kentucky in its NCAA opener. The Wildcats blasted Iowa St. by an 87-71 count as 12-point favorites and they followed that up by avenging a regular-season loss at Indiana with 102-90 win. John Calipari's team covered the number as a 10-point favorite against the Hoosiers in their Sweet 16 showdown at the Ga. Dome in Atlanta. --In the South Region finals against third-seeded Baylor, Kentucky fell behind 10-5 in the early going. However, it was all 'Cats after that as they cruised to an 82-70 win in a game that was nowhere near as close as the final score indicated. Davis enjoyed another day at the office against the Bears, producing 18 points, 11 rebounds and six blocked shots. Kidd-Gilchrist paced UK with 19 points, while Terrence Jones had 12 points, nine boards, six assists and three blocked shots. --These teams met on New Year's Eve in Lexington at Rupp Arena with UK capturing a 69-62 victory as a 10-point 'chalk.' The 131 points stayed 'under' the 136-point total. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist exploded for 24 points and 19 rebounds. Anthony Davis added 18 points, 10 boards, six blocked shots and three steals, while Doron Lamb was also in double figures with 10 points. Russ Smith was the only U of L player in double figures, scoring a game-high 30 points. --Louisville owns an 8-3 spread record with six outright wins in 11 games as an underdog this season. --UK has compiled a 5-6 ATS record in 11 games as a single-digit favorite. --The 'under' is 21-15 overall for Louisville, 10-2 in its last 12 games. --The 'under' is 19-16-2 overall for the 'Cats, who have seen the 'over' hit in four consecutive games. --The 'under' is on an 11-2 roll in the last 13 head-to-head meetings between these bitter rivals. --Tip-off is scheduled for 6:09 p.m. Eastern on CBS. **Kansas vs. Ohio State** --As of Friday, most spots had Ohio St. (31-7 SU, 20-13 ATS) installed as a 2 ½-point favorite with a total of 136 ½. Bettors can take KU to win outright for a plus-130 return (risk 100 to win $130). --Thad Matta's team is back in the Final Four for the first time since 2007, when it lost to Florida in the national-title game. The Buckeyes earned their 10th Final Four berth in school history with last Saturday's night's 77-70 win over Syracuse as 2 ½-point favorites. Jared Sullinger was the catalyst with 19 points and seven rebounds. Lenzelle Smith Jr. added 18 points and Deshaun Thomas finished with 14 points and nine boards. --Kansas (31-6 SU, 18-17-1 ATS) advanced to the national semifinals thanks to an 80-67 win over banged-up North Carolina in the Elite Eight. The Jayhawks hooked up their backers as two-point favorites, utilizing a triangle-and-two defense for a good chunk of the second half to stymie the Tar Heels. Tyshawn Taylor snapped out of a scoring slump to drop 22 points on UNC. Taylor also had six rebounds, five assists and five steals. Thomas Robinson finished with 18 points and nine rebounds. --Ohio St. senior William Buford knocked down 6-of-8 free throws against the 'Cuse to get into double figures with 13 points. However, we should note his prolonged shooting slump going into this weekend. Buford, who averages 14.4 points per game, has scored below his average in six of the Bucks' last seven games. He went 3-for-12 from the field against the 'Cuse, 1-for-8 against Cincy and 4-of-13 against Gonzaga. --These schools met in the regular season in Lawrence with KU winning by a 78-67 count as a 1 ½-point home favorite. But Sullinger was injured and did not dress out against the Jayhawks, who got 21 points and seven rebounds out of Robinson. Taylor dished out 13 assists, while Elijah Johnson chipped in with 15 points. Buford scored a team-high 21 points for the Buckeyes, who got 19 points from Deshaun Thomas. --KU has been an underdog four times this year, posting a 1-2-1 ATS record with one outright win at Baylor (68-54). --Ohio St. has compiled a 7-9 spread record in 16 games as a single-digit favorite. --The 'over' has been a huge money maker in Ohio St. games recently, cashing at a 10-1 clip in its last 11 outings. For the season, the 'over' is 20-11-2 overall. --The 'under' is 21-13-2 overall for KU. **B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets** --South Carolina made a brilliant hire when it plucked Frank Martin away from Kansas St. According to multiple reports, K-St. AD John Currie didn't make much effort to keep Martin, who took the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament four times in five seasons. That's a good thing for the Gamecocks, who won just two SEC games this year. Martin will change the hoops culture in Columbia fast. --Even if Bradley Beal bolts for the NBA after his freshman season, Billy Donovan and UF will return the entire roster with the exception of Erving Walker and Beal, who is expected to be a lottery pick. Beal is returning home to St. Louis this weekend to discuss his future with his family. ESPN.com's Chad Ford has Beal as the No. 4 pick in the first round in his latest mock draft. However, Beal's father Bobby told the Gainesville Sun, "I know it's going to be a hard decision for him. Some people say (leaving) is a no-brainer, but I know that he loves college, loves the atmosphere down there. He's the kind of kid that when he starts something, he likes to finish it." --Kansas assistant Danny Manning has been named the new head coach at Tulsa. Manning, a superstar player who led the Jayhawks to the 1988 national title, paid his dues and went about becoming a head coach the right way. Congrats and best of luck to him.
Louisville looks to stun Kentucky on Saturday LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (30-9) vs. KENTUCKY WILDCATS (36-2) NCAA Tournament - Final Four Tip-off: Saturday, 6:05 p.m. EDT – New Orleans, LA Line: Kentucky -8½, Total: 137 The Final Four tips off Saturday with two familiar foes, as Louisville tries to upset in-state rival Kentucky. When these teams met on New Year's Eve, the Wildcats shot 29.8% FG (3-of-16 threes) and still won by seven points, 69-62. They dominated the paint, getting to the foul line 43 times and outrebounding Louisville 57-31. Can the Cardinals, riding an eight-game win streak (SU and ATS), hang in with their in-state rival? For the answer, check out the College Basketball Three at Three Pass for picks covering all the big games in college basketball each weekday. Louisville is now 8-0 (SU and ATS) on a neutral court this season (4 Big East Tournament wins, 4 NCAA Tournament wins) thanks to a stifling defense, allowing just 56.3 PPG on 38.3% FG in these eight contests. Even though Florida shot 50% in the Elite Eight, the Cardinals held the Gators to 68 points. The Cardinals are now third in the nation in FG Pct. defense (38.0% FG), seventh in steals (8.9 SPG) and 22nd in defending the three (31.7% 3-pt FG). When these teams met on Dec. 31, the Cardinals had no starter score more than eight points as the five players combined for a mere 26 points on 8-of-35 shooting (22.9%). It was sophomore G Russ Smith (11.6 PPG) who kept them in the game with 30 points on 10-of-20 shooting (3-of-8 threes) off the bench. Smith was also the leading scorer in the Elite Eight win over Florida, tallying 19 points on 6-of-13 FG. Smith now has 15.7 PPG in his past three games, making 6-of-9 threes. But the team's best player in the NCAA Tournament has been freshman F Chane Behanan (9.5 PPG, 7.4 RPG) who is averaging 14.0 PPG (64% FG) and 7.8 RPG. He had 17 points and seven boards in the win over Florida and will be a key to helping diffuse Kentucky's great size down low. C Gorgui Dieng (9.2 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 3.2 BPG) will also need to have a huge night to upset the Wildcats. Dieng had a pedestrian eight points and six boards against the Gators, but he really made his presence felt in the Sweet 16 against Michigan State on the defensive end with seven blocked shots. Louisville is at its best when junior PG Peyton Siva (9.1 PPG, 5.6 APG) is on the court and not committing silly fouls. After a brilliant four-game Big East Tournament (13.8 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 5.8 APG) and a strong NCAA opener against Davidson (17 points, six assists), Siva has just 6.3 PPG (32% FG) in his past three contests. He has 15 fouls in the four tourney games, fouling out of two of those contests. But he is distributing the ball very well with 8.5 APG in his past two games, and Siva had only one turnover in the win over Florida. Senior swingman Kyle Kuric (12.7 PPG, 4.2 RPG) continues to underwhelm in the NCAA Tournament. He's scoring 9.5 PPG, but has totaled just nine rebounds and two assists in 142 total minutes of playing time. This four-star FoxSheets trend sides with the Cardinals on Saturday: LOUISVILLE is 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) after having won 15 or more of their last 20 games this season. The average score was LOUISVILLE 69.9, OPPONENT 61.0 - (Rating = 4*). Kentucky can beat you in so many ways. They score 77.9 PPG (15th in nation) on 48.8% FG (eighth in D-I), while allowing a mere 60.6 PPG on 37.5% FG, easily the best mark in the country. A good part of this suffocating defense is an interior that blocks a nation's-most 8.6 shots per game and rebounds the basketball at a healthy +7.1 RPG margin (10th in nation). The Wildcats have strong depth, but they don't have to dip into their bench all that often, as they only commit 14.8 fouls per game, which is the ninth-least amount in the country. The Wildcats had six players score 8+ points in the 82-70 win over Baylor in the Elite Eight. Freshman C Anthony Davis (14.3 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 4.6 BPG) had the biggest impact with 18 points (6-of-9 FG), 11 boards and six blocks. Davis is now averaging 14.5 PPG, 11.0 RPG and 4.5 BPG in the NCAA Tournament, and he posted 18 points, 10 boards and six blocks against Louisville on New Year's Eve. Fellow freshman F Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (12.0 PPG, 7.6 RPG) scored just 11 points in the first two NCAA games, but he has been tremendous in the past two contests with 21.5 PPG (56% FG, 14-of-14 FT) and 7.5 RPG. He completely dominated the Cardinals in their earlier meeting, throwing down 24 points with 19 rebounds (six offensive). The Wildcats' other key frontcourt player is 6-foot-9 sophomore Terrence Jones (12.6 PPG, 7.2 RPG) who had a huge all-around game Sunday with 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals. Kentucky's backcourt tends to get overshadowed by its amazing frontcourt, but these guards sure can play. The team has surpassed 13 turnovers in a game just once in its past 22 contests, tallying 12 games of single-digit turnovers. Freshman PG Marquis Teague (10.0 PPG, 4.8 APG) has 14.5 PPG and 5.3 APG in the tourney and has come a long way since his subpar performance against Louisville (four points, 1-of-8 FG, four turnovers, five fouls). Sophomore SG Doron Lamb (13.6 PPG, 47% 3-pt FG), is the long-range threat who has seven straight double-figure scoring games. He's averaging 16.8 PPG (9-of-15 threes) in the NCAA tourney. SG Darius Miller comes off the bench, but he is still one of the better guards in the nation. He's scoring 13.0 PPG on 59% FG and 13-of-14 FT in the NCAA Tournament so far. This strong FoxSheets trend also likes the Wildcats to win by a large margin: Play Against - An underdog (LOUISVILLE) - after successfully covering the spread in 6 or more consecutive games, playing with 5 or 6 days rest.

Games of the day Louisville Cardinals vs. Kentucky Wildcats (-8.5, 137) Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Kansas Jayhawks (2.5, 136.5) Notable quotable "We have a nice team. I don't know if you're a serious underdog when you won 31 games, you win your league by two games in a good league. But I do grow with what you're saying, from the start to now, I don't think that many people would have envisioned us being in this position. We have kind of flown under the radar, by Kansas standards of late, which I think has been very healthy for a team that's just trying to find themselves." Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self on being an underdog against Ohio State on Saturday. Notes and tips LeBron James remains the favorite to win the NBA MVP award, but if you ask the reigning winner, Derrick Rose, he says Kevin Durant has the inside track. When asked who he liked to win the award, Rose told ESPN.com "K-Love (Kevin Love) been putting in work too, but I think KD (Kevin Durant)." Oddsmakers currently have Durant around +600 to win the award, behind LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is expected to appeal his one-year suspension in connection with the team's bounty program. NFL.com, citing a league source, reported that Payton will attempt to obtain the full investigative report from the NFL on the evidence against him and seek clarification on how much time he has to prepare his appeal. The suspension was scheduled to begin on April 1. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has promised a swift appeals process if Payton decides to go that route. Goodell has yet to announce punishments against New Orleans players. An NFL probe revealed that 22 to 27 players were involved in the bounty program. St. Louis Blues left wing Andy McDonald will return to the lineup for Saturday night's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. McDonald has been sidelined for six games with a shoulder injury suffered in a game against the Carolina Hurricanes on March 15. St. Louis, which has clinched a playoff berth and is closing in on the Central Division title, leads the New York Rangers by one point for the league's best record. McDonald, who missed four months with a concussion, has nine goals and 10 assists in 21 games this season. He had a six-game points streak prior to suffering the shoulder injury.

Kentucky shot 35.9% when it lost to Vanderbilt in this building 20 days ago; in its only other loss, Indiana made 9-15 from arc back on December 10, in 72-71 win. Since 1999, #1 seed is 7-1 vs spread in national semis against a #3 or lower seed. Kansas (-1) beat Ohio State 78-67 in Lawrence Dec 10, shooting 58% in game Sullinger missed (back); Thomas had 13 assists despite a sore knee. This is first time since 1995 pair of #2 seeds meet in national semifinals; underdog won that game, which was only meeting of 2's in national semi since tournament went to 64 teams. Over last seven years, favorites are 9-5 vs spread in national semis, but dogs are 5-3 in semifinals if spread was less than 3 points. Kansas holds opponents to 40% inside the arc, (#1 in nation); they're 13-1 in last 14 games, losing only to Baylor in Big X tourney.

NCAAB Saturday, March 31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NCAA Final Four preview & pick: Louisville vs. Kentucky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No. 4 Louisville Cardinals vs. No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats (-8.5, 136) THE STORY: One of college basketball's fiercest rivalries figures to rise to an unprecedented level of intensity when the Cardinals and Wildcats meet in New Orleans for a berth in the national championship game. Kentucky's appearance in the Final Four is no surprise. The Wildcats lost just one game in the regular season and have faced little opposition in rolling to 36 victories in 38 games. The Cardinals, meanwhile, saved their best work for late in the season. Louisville, which won the Big East tournament championship, rides an eight-game winning streak into New Orleans. Kentucky beat the Cardinals 69-62 on New Year's Eve in Lexington and owns a 29-14 lead in the series. TV: 6:09 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Kentucky -8.5 ABOUT LOUISVILLE (30-9): The Cardinals lost four of their final six games entering the Big East tournament and battled injuries all season long. So how did Louisville win the conference title and then slay top-seed Michigan State and Florida on its way to New Orleans? Start with defense. The Cardinals have allowed just 56.3 points during their winning streak, and smothered Florida with a 23-8 surge in the final 10 minutes of the West Regional final on Saturday. The Cardinals rank third nationally in 3-point field-goal percentage defense (38.0 percent) and seventh in steals (8.9). But can Louisville play well enough on offense to stay close to Kentucky? The Cardinals shoot just 42.5 percent from the field (220th in the nation). Sophomore Russ Smith led the Cardinals with 19 points in the regional final, and Louisville got 17 points from freshman Chane Behanan, the West Regional's most outstanding player. ABOUT KENTUCKY (36-2): In their first four NCAA games, the Wildcats showed both the ability to completely take control with dominant stretches against Western Kentucky, Iowa State and Baylor, and the toughness to hold a stubborn Indiana just out of striking distance. The Wildcats' balanced attack has shined in the tournament. Freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist earned most outstanding player honors of the South Regional after scoring 43 points in his past two games. Kentucky shot 80.2 percent from the free-throw line in its past two games (65-for-81), and continues to make life tough on opposing offenses with its strong interior defense (six blocks by freshman Anthony Davis against Baylor). Kentucky leads the nation in blocked shots (8.6) and field-goal percentage defense (37.5 percent). TRENDS: * Under is 11-2 in the last 13 meetings. * Cardinals are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. * Wildcats are 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 non-conference games. * Cardinals are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs. TIP-INS: 1. The Cardinals and Wildcats did not play for 24 years, until the 1983 Mideast Regional final, won by Louisville 80-68 in overtime. That game led to the renewal of a series that dates back to 1913. 2. The Wildcats are two wins away from their first national title since 1998. Their coach in that championship season? Current Louisville coach Rick Pitino. 3. Louisville scored 15 points off turnovers against Florida, illustrating the Cardinals' pressure-driven defense that's helped fueled their late-season surge. Pick: Kentucky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NCAAB Saturday, March 31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NCAA Final Four preview & pick: Ohio State vs. Kansas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (+2.5, 136.5) THE STORY: Something was missing when Kansas beat then-No. 2 Ohio State on Dec. 10 at Allen Fieldhouse -- namely Buckeyes star Jared Sullinger -- but both teams will be at full strength for the rematch Saturday in New Orleans. Sullinger and teammate Deshaun Thomas will clash with Kansas star Thomas Robinson and 7-footer Jeff Withey in a matchup of two of the nation's top frontcourt duos. TV: Approx. 8:50 p.m. ET, CBS ABOUT OHIO STATE (31-7): The Buckeyes are in their 10th Final Four and are seeking their second title -- and their first since 1960 -- after a 77-70 win over No. 1 seed Syracuse on Saturday. They're certainly peaking at the right time to win it. After losing three of five during a rough stretch in February, the Buckeyes have won eight of nine, with the loss coming in the Big Ten tournament final against Michigan State. Five Buckeyes have averaged double-digits in the tournament, led by Thomas' 21.8 points to go with 8.5 rebounds per game. ABOUT KANSAS (31-6): The Jayhawks advanced to their 14th Final Four with an 80-67 win over No. 1 seed North Carolina on Sunday. It's the Jayhawks' second trip to the Final Four under coach Bill Self, who led them to the 2008 national title. Robinson led the Jayhawks with 21 points and seven rebounds in the first meeting, but he almost certainly will see a different defensive look from the Buckeyes with Sullinger in the lineup. Perhaps more important to the Jayhawks, though, is whether senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor can give a more consistent performance than in the first meeting -- he had nine points and 13 assists, but also seven turnovers, in the victory in December. TRENDS: * Buckeyes are 5-2 ATS in their last seven NCAA tournament games. * Jayhawks are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 vs. Big Ten. * Over is 10-1 in Buckeyes' last 11 overall. * Under is 17-4 in Jayhawks' last 21 NCAA tournament games. TIP-INS: 1. The Jayhawks have won six of nine all-time meetings, including four straight. 2. Both teams have come to expect double-doubles from their star forwards. Robinson has set a Kansas record with 26 this season, and Sullinger is 10th all-time at Ohio State with 34 in his career. 3. Kansas has won 13 of 14 to reach the 30-win plateau for the third straight year and the fifth time in six seasons. Pick: Ohio State ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NCAAB Saturday, March 31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Take it or leave it: Breaking down the Final Four rematches ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rarely does the Final Four lend itself to recent trends and matchups. College basketball teams change each season, and stats and figures from years ago hold about as much weight as the runway in a fashion show. However, basketball bettors get a gift from the Gambling Gods this March with both Final Four games pegged as rematches of non-conference regular season meetings. Ohio State tangled with Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 10, with the host Jayhawks winning 78-67 as 1.5-point home favorites. State rivals Kentucky and Louisville rang in the New Year with a 69-62 Wildcats win in Rupp Arena, with UK failing to cover the 10-point spread on Dec. 31. All four programs have improved by leaps and bounds since those meetings. And while much of what happened during those December dates can get tossed in the trash, there are some important notes bettors should keep in mind when sizing up the odds for this Saturday's national semifinal games. Here's what to take and what to leave from the first matchups between the Final Four contenders: Kansas Jayhawks 78, Ohio State Buckeyes 67 – Dec. 10, 2011 Take it: Sans Sullinger The Buckeyes were without All-American center Jared Sullinger due to back spasms in their first meeting with the Jayhawks. Ohio State's offense flows through the post and without the stud sophomore sucking in the defense, their sets looked lost. The Buckeyes shot just under 39 percent and went to the foul line only 18 times. Ohio State has been to the stripe 69 times in the last two games with Sullinger going 18 for 22 from the foul line in that span. Leave it: Kansas shooting The Jayhawks were on fire versus OSU, shooting 58 percent from the field and 9 for 17 from beyond the arc. Kansas took advantage of Sullinger's absence, getting 21 points from Thomas Robinson, and finding lots of room for shooters and passing lanes because the Buckeyes couldn't cheat up without their big man in the middle. Kansas isn't shooting well in the tournament, hitting only 40.6 percent of its buckets. It's been especially dismal from beyond the arc, going 16 for 68 (23.5 percent) from distance. The Jayhawks shot 46 percent versus North Carolina, but a lot of those came on layups in transition. Take it: Tyshawn toughs it out Tyshawn Taylor took on the top perimeter defender in college basketball with just one leg back in December. It will be interesting to see what happens when the healthy KU guard tangles with OSU's Aaron Kraft this weekend. Taylor scored nine points on 3-of-9 shooting and committed seven turnovers, playing on a torn meniscus and sprained right MCL on Dec. 10. But he also dished out 13 assists and got to the foul line six times. Taylor, who struggled in the first three games of the NCAA (and is 0 for 17 from 3-point land), showed up when KU needed him most, scoring 22 points in the Elite Eight win over UNC. Kentucky Wildcats 69, Louisville Cardinals 62 – Dec. 31, 2011 Leave it: Old acquaintance be forgot Covers Expert Ted Sevransky drew attention to the fact that this game was played at noon on New Year's Eve, in his Final Four writeup this week. Not only did a distracted Wildcats squad shoot just 29.8 percent from the field and commit a season-high 20 turnovers, but also burned backers bad. Kentucky, ahead by 13 points with 10 seconds left, started daydreaming about ringing in 2012 with the co-eds instead of closing out the Cardinals. The lack of focus led to one of the worst beats of the season. Kentucky, a 10-point favorite, watched as Russ Smith buried a 3-pointer then got the ball back on a steal and drained another trey at the buzzer to trim the lead to seven, forcing UK backers to change their New Year's resolutions from "stop smoking" to "stop betting on Kentucky." That blown cover was part of a 0-13-1 ATS skid for the Wildcats that spanned nearly two months. Take it: Wildcats Windex Kentucky dominated the glass in its previous meeting with Louisville, out-rebounding its state rival 49-28, including 14 offensive boards. The Cardinals were beaten on the glass by Florida and New Mexico State, but somehow outworked Michigan State – the best rebounding team in the country – by two rebounds. The Wildcats average more than 36 rebounds per game in the tournament – 10.5 of those on the offensive glass. Kentucky forwards Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are a handful for Louisville's four-guard set, and were responsible for 40 of UK's 49 boards back on Dec. 31. Leave it: No Russ, No Muss Russ Smith has shown up in the biggest games of the season for Louisville. He scored 19 points and sparked a late rally against Florida to get the Cardinals into the Final Four. And, back in December, he dropped 30 points on perhaps the best defensive team in college hoops. Smith, a 6-foot sophomore who comes off the bench, went 10 for 20 (including 3 for 8 from 3-point range) to keep UL in the game. He was the only Louisville player in double figures. But, as much as Smith can help the Cardinals, he can hurt them. He was careless down the stretch versus the Gators, committing two of his four turnovers in the final 2:25 of the game and can sometimes be a blackhole when he gets his hands on the basketball. For a guy who plays just under 21 minutes a game, he uses a team-high 32.5 percent of UL's possessions. The Cardinals can't afford wasted possessions versus Kentucky, which over the past two games is averaging 1.35 points every time it touches the ball.

ABA member Harriet Davidson (right) is the very essence of the modern birder: She's an unrepentant lister, an S&D ("status and distribution") junkie, and a widely published author (including new-media offerings like DVDs about penguins). Okay, she's the essence of a particularly ambitious and energetic sort of modern birder.
There's more. Davidson was the only woman on the first exploratory team at Attu. Which, if you know anything about Attu, means she's been around for a while. A very long while. Harriet Davidson is 95 years young.
Davidson's commentary, "On Rereading Jean Piatt's Adventures in Birding," appearing on pp. 16-20 of the May/June Birding, is a bewitching and effective blend of reminiscence and modern-day musing. At one level, I read the commentary as a straightforward retelling of the way things used to be. At another level, I can't help but feel a trans-epochal link with the great birders who were active well before my birth. Channeling the mid-20th century birding great Jean Piatt, Davidson affirms a great capital-B "Brotherhood" of birders. In this view, we're all birding brothers and sisters, as different as we might otherwise be.
What about you? If you're an ABA member and have read Davidson's commentary, what do you think? How do her reflections comport with your own? Are you struck by all the ways birding has changed in the past several decades? Or are you more impressed by the timelessness and universality of Jean Piatt and Harriet Davidson's "Brotherhood"?

Tell Me About Evil Carbon And The Brilliant Al Gore
I had an interesting conversation today with a customer, while she was paying me to work on her horses; after delving into religion, philosophy, metaphysics, and eventually the climate, it became obvious that she was hiding her Liberal proclivities to be agreeable. She was convinced we should use natural gas and "quit digging up dinosaurs for our energy needs, there were too many humans and the world would be a better place after a massive die-off." Her premises were pregnant with opportunities to attack, but in situations like this, it is better to have your opponent wondering about the discussion while in bed later on and questioning the simple reasoning she had heard earlier with a sense of emptiness and bewilderment.
A Collapsed Foreign Policy [Reader Post]
With the focus of the coming election appropriately directed at the economy and the creation of jobs, some of the media is desperately attempting a redirection of attention toward foreign policy. More precisely, the MSM is fabricating a four year history of its protagonist's foreign policy.
Smart Diplomacy
How lucky we are, we who mourn the erosion of freedom and the implementation of Statism; for now, we at least have the consolation and comforting feelings that come with knowing we have a high degree of intellect directing our international diplomacy, more commonly known as "Smart Diplomacy". The phrase our former First Lady used to describe her self-professed skills in diplomacy; skills that were apparently acquired in managing the "Bimbo Eruptions," her husband precipitated during their marriage and sometimes bizarre journey to the White House. Skills that became patently obvious with the Obama Administration's opening of our embassy in Damascus and Ms Clinton describing Assad,the butcher of Syria, as a reformer. Yes, if the diplomacy of the White House and the State Department were any smarter, the dictators of the world would be cowering in fear when Hillary flexes her brain and farts intellect by the bucket.
Barack Obama: no jobs, no oil, no energy [Reader Post]
It's the mother of all boners. Barack Obama gambled the future of the US oil supply on Brazil.
He lost. China kicked his butt.
In March Barack Obama put on his best groveling suit (you know, the same one he wore when genuflecting to the Saudi King) and went off to Brazil looking for foreign oil.
Canada To Sell Their Oil To China If XL Pipeline Isn't Approved Soon
Obama "the job destroyer" has come even closer to not only losing all the jobs that would come with the XL Pipeline but also losing all that oil:
Canada is now looking to Asian countries to market its abundance of oil, natural gas and minerals as plans to build the proposed Keystone XL pipeline have stalled with the U.S. administration.
Anglo Confederation? [Reader Post]
I offer the following purely as a thought experiment. I suppose it's more of a leftward proposal, and, thus may be deemed unsuitable for this blog. I'm hoping that it may be viewed simply as a theoretical proposal to initiate thoughtful discussion of pros and cons.
I think that it would be advantageous to form some sort of global confederation of the primary English-speaking nations:
There Are No More Campfires
Prologue: This is a story of two Stone Age chieftains, who migrated to America during the last Ice Age, approximately twenty thousand years ago: one came from the East and one came from the West, but before you begin to recite the teachings of Archaeology from twenty years ago, you might be surprised to know of startling new discoveries about the migration of man and the inconvenient facts surrounding the theories of Anthropomorphic Global Warming.

With the club looking to bring in a new striker in the January transfer window, there had been reports that we were monitoring the situation at Newcastle United as Demba Ba has refused to sign a new contract at the club and it seems that we have moved a step closer to acquiring his services after the player has come out and stated it would be a dream to play for our club.
The big, powerful striker is enjoying a brilliant season and has already got eleven goals to his name in the Premier League, which puts him up there with the top-scorers.
However, he has been in the media lately with his wages demands and has been asking for more than Newcastle are willing to offer. Which means that we may step in and pay the £7.5 million clause in his contract to try and bring him to the Emirates in a few weeks' time.
As quoted in the Daily Mail, Ba spoke about a possible move to Arsenal and said: "I have nothing to say about those speculations [with Arsenal]. Nothing has happened.
"The media know Arsenal need another striker and they know about my release clause. They need to make their own mind up about it.
"Arsenal are one of those teams who makes you dream.'
It seems Ba has left the door wide open for us to go and make an offer, but the only stumbling block would be his wages. As we would be very reluctant to pay the £90,000-a-week that he is looking for.
However, he would be a welcome addition to the squad wouldn't he? A proven goal-scorer in the Premier League with the kind of ability that would suit us at the Gunners.

in north india, during the navratri fasting period we don't make anything from legumes or lentils or cereals. well in the south it is different
the only dish that we make at home with legumes is the kala chana – a dry preparation with black chickpeas and this is made during the last day of the navratri along with suji ka halwa – semolina pudding and pooris.
since i have many south indian readers as well, i decided to make and post the green peas sundal recipe.
now in tamil language this green peas sundal is called as pattani sundal. it is made from dried green peas. you soak the green peas overnight and boil or pressure cook them the next day.
you can also make this recipe with dried white peas or even kidney beans, black eyed beans, white chickpeas and any lentil or legume… when making with mung dal or chana dal, ensure that the dals are separate but cooked well. it should not be mish mash.
this recipe has been adapted from anamika's blog here and it is her south indian friend who shared the sundal recipe with her. do also check some delicious north indian navratri recipes on anamika's blog here.
green peas sundal recipe below:
- ¾ cup dry green peas
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1-2 broken red chilies
- 1 green chili
- a pinch of asafoetida
- 10-12 curry leaves
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 to 3 tbsp freshly grated coconut
- rock salt or regular salt as required
- first rinse the dry green peas in water.
- soak in enough water overnight.
- next day pressure cook the peas with water and salt for 8-9 whistles or till done.
- drain water and keep the cooked peas aside.
- in a pan heat oil.
- fry the mustard seeds, till they crackle and pop.
- now add the cumin seeds and fry them.
- add the broken red chilies, green chili, curry leaves.

'Big Brother' evicts Jessie Godderz after Jeff Schroeder plays twist
By Reality TV World staff, 08/14/2009
Jessie Godderz
became the fifth houseguest evicted from
Big Brother
eleventh season during Thursday night's broadcast of the CBS reality show.
Jessie, a 23-year-old bodybuilder from Huntington Beach, CA, was evicted from the
Big Brother
house in a 3-2 vote which occurred after
Jeff Schroeder
announced -- as several of his fellow houseguests had correctly suspected -- that he was in possession of the "mystery power" the show had previously let home viewers secretly award to one houseguest.
Jeff's announcement had happened right before the houseguests were set to vote to evict
Russell Kairouz
Lydia Tavera
. Russell, a 24-year-old mixed martial arts fighter from Walnut Creek, CA, and Lydia, a 24-year-old special effects make-up artist from Torrance, CA, had been nominated for eviction by
Chima Simone
, a 32-year-old freelance journalist from West Hollywood, CA who had been serving as the season's fifth Head of Household.

More Big Brother 11 News
Kevin Campbell
, a 29-year-old graphic designer from Chula Vista, CA, had subsequently won the week's Power of Veto competition but had declined to save either Lydia, his closest house ally, or Russell from the chopping block.
"The reason why I left Lydia on the block is because I don't want to create any more enemies, and on top of that it will ensure that the votes are there for Russell to go home," Kevin had explained afterward, much to Lydia's frustration.
Once Jeff revealed his plans to use the power,
Big Brother
Julie Chen
then formally informed the houseguests -- who all appeared to have already guessed what the "mystery power" was -- that the power was the "Coup D'etat" power which had previously been granted but not actually used during the show's
Big Brother
7: All-Stars
edition in 2006
"It's called the Coup D'etat," Julie announced as the houseguests gasped. "Jeff has the ability to overthrow the Head of Household Chima and change one or both of her nominees. However Chima, as Head of Household, and Kevin, as winner of the Power of Veto, neither one of you can be put on the block."
Jeff then announced he was replacing both of Chima's nominees and nominating Jessie and
Natalie Martinez
, a 24-year-old Tae Kwon Do champion from Gilbert, AZ who had been Jessie's closest ally in the house, for eviction.
"Well as I've learned from both of you, this is just a game. That's all I've really got to say," Jeff told Jessie and Natalie after he nominated them. "I know you're upset but you guys have run this house, haven't had to feel the block, and I got a power and now I got the power and you guys need to feel the pain a little bit. Enjoy."
Jessie and Natalie had anticipated they would probably be nominated if Jeff was the houseguest granted the power and appeared to take the announcement of their nominations well.
"This was worst case scenario and the best move you've done so far, congratulations man. I saw it coming," Jessie told Jeff.
With Jessie, Natalie, Jeff, and Chima all ineligible to vote, the five remaining houseguests then cast their eviction votes. Natalie received votes from Russell and Lydia while Jessie received votes from Kevin,
Jordan Lloyd
Michele Noonan
During his post-eviction interview with Julie, Jessie -- who
was evicted
from last summer's
Big Brother
edition via a 4-3 vote in which the deciding vote was cast by Dan Ghessling, whose vote had been determined by home viewers due to a
one-week "America's Player" twist
-- once again blamed viewers for his downfall.
"Well if I was America, and I didn't like Jessie last season -- let's just throw a dart at a board and figure it out," Jessie told Julie.
As the fifth houseguest evicted, Jessie will now become the first member of the seven-person
Big Brother
jury which will decide which of the season's final two houseguests will win the competition's $500,000 grand prize.
After Jessie's interview, all eight remaining houseguests competed in the season's sixth HoH competition.
Dubbed "Hit the Road," the competition required the houseguests to face off two at a time and correctly answer whether a question's subject matter had occurred during one of the season's HoH, Have Not, or Veto competitions. The first person to correctly answer the question would get to remain in the competition and choose the next two houseguests that would face off in it while the losing houseguest would be eliminated.
Lydia was the first houseguest eliminated. She was followed by Russell, Natalie, Jordan, Chima, and Jeff, leaving Michele and Kevin to face off in the final question. Michele then answered the question correctly, resulting in her becoming
Big Brother
sixth HoH.
Big Brother
next episode will air Sunday, August 16 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.

How It Works
What is Glass Fusion?
Glass fusion is an art form which involves stacking, or layering thin sheets of glass, often using different colors to create patterns or simple images. The stack is then placed inside the kiln and then heated through a series of ramps (rapid heating cycles) and soaks (holding the temperature at a specific point) until the separate pieces begin to bond together.

No glass experience required!
You will start out with a precut piece of 6x6 square glass and then rifle through our glass bins in search of the perfect colors and shapes to complete your creations.

Akebi Fruit
Akebi fruit has a purple color not often seen in nature. It is the size of a Russet potato and is soft to the touch.
Caigua (Achocha)
Caigua are small, spiky green fruits that grow along climbing vines. Immature fruits are 2 to 3 inches long,
Envy apples are available for a short time during the summer from New Zealand and for a short time in the late fall from Washington State growers.
Current Facts
The large Envy™ apple is a cross between the Braeburn and Royal Gala apples. It has the same parentage as the Jazz apple, from the same producer.
Envy apples have a striated ruby red skin with green undertones. It has a crisp, sweet white flesh that will stay pure white for up to 10 hours before succumbing to oxidation. Envy apples have what are known as lenticels, or small pores, which allow gases to pass between the skin and the flesh of a fruit. The lenticels appear as specks on the Envy apple; the more specks, the sweeter the apple.
The sweet taste and crunch of an Envy apple make it perfect for fresh out-of-hand eating. Their flavor also lends well to cakes and pies. Dice Envy apples and mix with goat cheese to stuff chicken or pork. Add bite-sized pieces of Envy apples to chicken salads or a classic Waldorf. Because this New Zealand hybrid doesn't brown as quickly as other apple varieties, it makes a great sliced snack.
New Zealand's Envy apples are grown in Hawke's Bay on the North Island and in Nelson on the northern coast of the South Island. Under the working name, Scilate on the rootstock of MM106, the development of this apple took place over a span of twenty-five years. The first cross of this apple was made in 1985. The apple is exclusively grown by farmers in New Zealand, Washington State in the US and Chile.

Students, who do not meet the minimum English language requirements for direct entry to the three-term Foundation programme may be eligible to apply for the new Extended Foundation programme. Lasting four terms, the Extended Foundation programme incorporates a term of intensive English language tuition at the beginning of the course, allowing you to begin your course and improve your English to a level appropriate for academic study.

The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.
Around 60 per cent of the course is devoted to the academic modules for students' own subject areas. Depending on the chosen pathway, academic modules in Accounting and Finance, Biology, British History and Institutions, Chemistry, Economics, Law, Management, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology will be chosen. Academic English Language and Study Skills is a core subject, accounting for approximately 40 per cent of classes, covering reading and study skills, writing, listening and speaking within the context of academic study.

Learning and teaching
Teaching is delivered through a range of methods including lectures, seminars, academic tutorials and, where appropriate, laboratory classes. The programmes have also been designed to develop the key transferable skills needed for successful undergraduate study.
Students are assessed by a combination of exams, tests and coursework assignments, which might include essays, presentations, problem solving exercises, reports and research projects.

Hey, Hey Helen
This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. (December 2014) |
Hey, Hey Helen is a song by ABBA, featured on their 1975 album ABBA.
The song is in the rock'n'roll genre.
George Starostin Reviews says the song has "perfectly tolerable lyrics about a family breakup" from an anti-feminist perspective.[1] PopDose says "'Helen' took an adult look at divorce and single motherhood in a time when the divorce rate was up and the traditional family unit was taking a beating. At first, the lyrics seem a bit judgmental, until you get to that last bit in the chorus where the girls assure the newly single mother that she can, in fact, make it alone".[2]
Lush covered the song for their 1990 Mad Love EP.[3] Spin magazine described indie rock band Lush's cover of the song as "just plain absurd".[4] The song was also covered by Gala.[5]
Critical reception[edit]
The Trouser Press record guide described the song as "obscure". OneWeekOneBand said "The best bit of this - OK maybe apart from the riff - is where the lyrics go "Can you make it alone?" and the backing vox reply "Yes you can" and to prove it the song goes into a FUNK BREAKDOWN, the only one in ABBA's catalogue." [6] George Starostin Reviews says the song is "quite memorable", and adds it is "what all those 'heavy metal tunes' off Waterloo would have sounded like" if they had been given tmore of the 'ABBA' sound. It adds "the heavy guitar riffs on that one don't bother me in the least, as they never try to sound dreary or 'mock-ominous': they just emphasize the power of the tune, which is, in my opinion, a highly underrated ABBA classic, with all those riffs, a catchy, rhythmic synth solo, a groovy drum pattern".[1] PopDose describes the song as "one of the earliest glimmers that ABBA were more than just your standard bubblegum pop group". it wondered why the song wasn't featured in the Mamma Mia musical considering its subject matter, and theorises that it was because the song wasn't popular enough. It notes however that "the group mimed it for quite a few TV appearances at the time, citing the "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" in 1975."[2]

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday proposed shrinking the Army, closing military bases and making other military-wide savings as part of a broad reshaping of priorities after more than a decade of war.
Hagel outlined his vision in a speech at the Pentagon a week before President Barack Obama is set to submit his 2015 budget plan to Congress.
Hagel said the military must adjust to the reality of smaller budgets, even as the United States faces a more volatile and unpredictable world that requires a more nimble military.
"This will be the first budget to fully reflect the transition DoD (Department of Defense) is making after 13 years of war," Hagel said. The new policy aims to "put a premium on rapidly deployable" forces, he said.
The announced reduction in the size of the U.S. military comes as no surprise, with the Obama administration having publicly spoken about the need to lower the number of U.S. military personnel as early as 2012.
Under the Hagel plan – which Congress could change – the active-duty Army would shrink to between 440,000 and 450,000 soldiers, from its current 522,000. That would make it the smallest since just before the U.S. entered World War II.
Army leaders have said for months that they expect their numbers would drop as the nation prepares to end its combat role in Afghanistan this year.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, said recently that whatever the future size of the Army, it must adapt to conditions that are different from what many soldiers have become accustomed to during more than a decade of war. He said many have the misperception that the Army is no longer busy.
"People tend to think that the Army is out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and there is not much going on," he said on Jan. 23 at an Army forum. "The Army is not standing still. The Army is doing many, many, many things in order for us to shape the future environment and prevent conflict around the world."
The last time the active-duty Army was below 500,000 was in 2005, when it stood at 492,000. Its post-World War II low was 480,000 in 2001, according to historical tables provided by the Army on Monday. In 1940 the Army had 267,000 active-duty members, and it surged to 1.46 million the following year as the U.S. approached entry into World War II.
Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said Monday that Hagel had consulted closely with the military service chiefs on how to balance defense and budget-saving requirements.
"He has worked hard with the services to ensure that we continue to stand for the defense of our national interests – that whatever budget priorities we establish, we do so in keeping with our defense strategy and with a strong commitment to the men and women in uniform and to their families, Kirby said.
"But he has also said that we have to face the realities of our time. We must be pragmatic. We can't escape tough choices. He and the chiefs are willing to make those choices," Kirby said.
