So, was it worth it?
Friday would have marked the moment the Red Sox could have called up Jackie Bradley while guaranteeing that his free agent eligibility would not arrive until after the 2019 season, as opposed to following '18, if they had chosen to start the outfielder in the minors.
Nine games.
The Red Sox stand at 5-4, and are 4-4 in games Bradley has played in. And while he will remain with the team for at least a few more games, the question will once again be resurfaced: Was he the best option to fill-in for David Ortiz over that first 1 1/2 weeks?
John Farrell doesn't hesitate when identifying the roster move as being the right one to make.
"He's contributed in every area of the game, defensively, on the basepaths and at the plate. I think he has had a direct impact on two, possibly three, wins for us in the early part of the season," the Red Sox manager said. "And it's not always reflected in the batting average. It's a defensive play in New York. It's a baserunning play in that same series. It's drawing a key walk in middle innings to either start an inning, or rally within an inning. In Jackie's case I think you have to look beneath the batting as to the impact that he's made."
When analyzing the commitment to put Bradley on the Opening Day roster, there will be naysayers armed with a variety of ammunition for their arguments. There was the faction -- especially after Game 1 in the Bronx -- that suggested the move was simply too risky because the 22-year-old was so good the Red Sox wouldn't get a chance to find the 20 days in the minor leagues necessary to keep his free agency clock delayed until after '19.
And now, with Bradley in the worst slump of his short professional career, there is another faction that suggests it has been far too risky a proposition to potentially derail the outfielder's development. The early-season failures -- hitting .120 with a .313 on-base percentage, eight strikeouts and a .473 OPS -- wasn't what the youngster needed at this point in his career.
But the reality is that neither one of those sort of talking points hold water.
Bradley will most likely be sent down to the minors late next week when Ortiz returns, allowing for at least 20 days back at Triple-A to keep his natural free agent-eligibility intact. And as for denting his confidence, judging by the reflection by those in the Sox' clubhouse, this stretch should be viewed more as valuable on-the-job training, the likes of which he was never going to get until his immersion into the majors.
"It's just all an adjustment period," Bradley said. "I'm going to be just fine, I promise."
So that leads the conversation to whether or not he has actually helped the team win.
Farrell's analysis that Bradley has had a direct impact on "two, possibly three" wins isn't hyperbole. Certainly you look at moments in those initial pair of wins in New York and there might not have been a bigger catalyst in the Red Sox' lineup than the rookie. He scored all four times he reached base, saw the second-most pitches of any Sox hitter (48) and offered up above-average defense.
Even in the Red Sox' third win of the season, in Toronto, Bradley contributed to the visitors' first run with a second-inning single, while reaching base two more times in the victory.
But after that fourth game of the season, that's when major league reality set in. Over his last four starts, Bradley has still made a few standout defensive plays (see the running shoestring catch in Thursday's loss), but offensively he hasn't been able to counter his opponents' adjustments, going 0 for his last 14 with six strikeouts and three walks.
"I'm missing my pitches. I'll see a good pitch and I'll feel like I put a good swing on it and I'll foul it back. That's the frustrating part about it because I know those are the pitches I'm normally hitting and squaring up," said Bradley, who has scored five of the nine times he has reached base. "You really can't do much after you hit it. Like I said, they'll start falling in holes eventually.
"It's one of those periods, every hitter goes through it. Like I said, I'm willing to work through it. It definitely is not going to affect me in the long-run."
"They've probably exploited the inside part of the plate on him a little bit more," Farrell said. "The one thing that has shown up a little bit is that in spring training or even the first series of the year, early in the count when he swung the bat, he was getting his pitch and he was squaring some pitches up. Now those pitches are being fouled back. In just talking with him, it doesn't look to me like he's over-swinging the bat or trying to make up for previous at-bats. But he knows he's gotten some pitches that he hasn't quite squared up as he's done previously. The one thing that hasn't changed is that he's still fought his way back deep into counts. He'll drive a pitch count up. But yet they've exploited that inside part of the plate on him."
In fact, as painful as it is to watch now, this will likely help expedite Bradley's emergence into a legitimate major-leaguer.
He has garnered the kind of understanding of what pitchers will try to do to him that never could have been uncovered in Pawtucket, no matter how many at-bats he managed there. With the more subtle parts of his game still contributing to major league wins -- albeit now with an occasional episode where he is pinch-hit for, as was the case Thursday -- Bradley's nine games of experience have been worth it to both the player and the organization.
And if you're looking for another example of what such a short stint can mean to a young player, just listen to Will Middlebrooks.
"My first game against Baltimore, I swung at a first-pitch slider away, and then, boom, they pounded me in, pounded me in and got me to ground out," the third baseman remembered regarding his second major league game, last May. "The next series in Kansas City they tried to do that to me. I was like, 'Wow! That's what they're trying to do to me and it was just one game.' I knew it was time to start watching some video. That made me take it the next level. I was always told how important it was, but I didn't know until I experienced it. David [Ortiz] helped me a lot with video, how to work everything and what to look for.
"The second time around, when we played Baltimore, Tommy Hunter threw a lot of cutters and I hadn't seen good cutters, really. So I see a ball start middle-away I'm going at it because that's a lot of my strength. But his ball would cut off the plate and he would rarely throw it for strikes. I finally got to where I knew it was coming, and knowing most of his fastballs, if he went away they were going to run off the plate. It was hard for me to take that pitch because it was starting right where I wanted it. But I got to it where I was taking that pitch, and I realized how much video was helping me."
And video analysis is just part of the equation.
Bradley -- like some other players -- prefers to limit his video intake so as to not lead his mind into too many directions. But he does watch some, while consistently asking questions of his teammates, coaches and manager, looking for answers to questions he has never had to previously ask.
"They're always trying to help me," he said. "They tell me, 'Make sure you stay in there mentally. Make sure you're not zoning out or getting down on yourself.' Like I said, it's only been seven or eight games. It's a long season. Whatever comes up I'm willing to weather the storm.
And as for the video work goes, he said, "I just try and play the game. Of course I'll check it out here or there, but it's not something I study. If anything I watch video on pick-off moves and stuff like that. I guess video wasn't heavily available back in the minor leagues or college ball. I don't want to get so tied up in video. I want to see it in person first and then maybe study it. Video isn't going to help you when you're on the field."
Dustin Pedroia's first eight games saw him .138 with a .339 OPS, and that eventually worked out OK. And remember when Tampa Bay waited until the magical April 12, 2008, date to promote Evan Longoria due to the same service time concerns facing Bradley? A month into his big league tenure, the third basemen was hitting .211, but his team still managed a 16-11 mark during that span on the way to eventually making the World Series.
The results might not be what Bradley expected, but to a large degree the outcome hasn't come as too much of a surprise. Although the initial downturn has arrived faster than the player or organization might have hoped for, it is understood -- this is what happens to first-time big leaguers. It's a stretch both the rookie and his team will survive.
"Things are going to come around like they should," Bradley said. "I'm willing to work at it."

Jewish and Orthodox church leaders meet in Greece
Wed, 12 Jun 2013
Leading Orthodox Christian and Jewish interfaith officials, scholars and clerics discussed the crucial importance of protecting the environment and religious values and condemned growing incidents of anti-Semitism and religious prejudice around the world during a three day conference to help improve relations between these two ancient faith communities. Co-sponsored by the Liaison Office of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, Office of Interreligious and Intercultural Affairs, and the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations (IJCIC), a Jewish umbrella group, the meeting was the latest in an on-going effort to improve relations and dialogue between Orthodoxy and Judaism.
About 40 Christian Orthodox clergy, rabbis, and academics from around the world met with local government and religious leaders. Thessaloniki Mayor Yannis Boutaris, Metropolitan Anthimos of Thessaloniki and David Saltiel, president of the Jewish community of Thessaloniki, were among those who met with members of the consultation. Participants also visited the Monastiriotes Synagogue, the Holocaust Monument and the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki.
The Orthodox Christian delegation was led by Metropolitan Emmanuel of France, and the Jewish delegation by IJCIC Chairman Lawrence Schiffman. A major theme of the meeting was to commemorate the solidarity Jewish and Christian Orthodox citizens of Thessaloniki displayed at the time of the Shoah in World War II, and to discover what processes are necessary to sustain that level of solidarity in today's increasingly contentious world.
Noting that Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has declared 2013 the Year of Global Solidarity, Metropolitan Emmanuel said: "It is well documented that Greeks living in Thessaloniki at the time of the Shoah stood with their Jewish neighbors and friends. Today, more than ever, we must stand together to battle the evils of anti-Semitism, religious prejudice and all forms of discrimination."
Schiffman said: "These meetings are extremely important for both the Jewish people and Orthodox Christianity because we share a long history and common roots. We are committed to building mutual respect and better understanding between our two faiths."
Betty Ehrenberg, executive director of the World Jewish Congress - North America and IJCIC vice-chair, presented the joint communique, which was approved and stated that: "Given recent tragic events around the world – environmental, political and social – the need for interreligious consultations such as this one are all the more relevant as we work together to respect our world and respect one another."

Hurricane, Utah
Donald Alwin Cummings,
Age 88
Donald Alwin Cummings of Hurricane, Utah passed away peacefully on Friday, June 27th, 2014 at 10:45 pm, after struggling for 9 years with Alzheimer's disease, at the age of 88 years.
Donald was born December 10th, 1925 in Los Angeles, California to Dr. Alwin T. Cummings and Frances K. Manning. He was the 3rd of 4 children-Alan, Edward, Donald & Marilyn.
He attended St. Cecilia's Catholic Elementary School, and served as an altar boy for St. Cecilia's Catholic Church for many years under the guidance of Father Brady. He attended Loyola High School, Stanford University, and graduated from U.S.C. with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1948. The Army sent him through a specialized training program at Stanford University for a 12 month course in Civil Engineering.
Donald served in the U.S. Army from 1944-1946. He was a Technician 5th Grade HQ Company 1st Army. He was stationed at Camp Roberts, California, Fort Bragg, N.C., and Fort McClellan, Alabama, and Camp Beale, California. He was honored in the military with WW II Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal, Good Conduct Medal and his high rating as a sharp-shooter.

"This property was perfect for our family of 4. The location is to die for, very clean and well maintained. Incredible views and great birding. There were enough screens to take care of mosquitos, but not enough to open up for all bedrooms. For some reason, master bedroom has no cross through breezes because of fixed glass windows. Owners' staff is fabulous to work with. We loved our stay."Guest: Sarah H. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 19, 2014View listing
"Our second visit to Narrows Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time! A great location for visiting Coeur D'alene, Silverwood and other areas or for just relaxing on , by or in the lake! The owners are very helpful when planning your stay and quick to respond to questions. The property is clean, well maintained and well stocked, our particular favorite amenity is the use of the canoe to go fishing on the lake!

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Chad's response to the threat posed by Boko Haram
06 Feb 2010 18:07 GMT
Paul Watson, head of the Sea Shepherd mission, said the incident demonstrated a "continued escalation of violence" by the Japanese, following a collision which sank the activists' trimaran, the Ady Gil, on January 6.
'Endangering crew'
"Because the whalers got away basically scot-free with the outrageous sinking of the Ady Gil, they now apparently think they can do whatever they want and they appear to have no qualms about endangering Sea Shepherd crew," Watson said.
"Australian and New Zealand lives are at risk every day in these waters," he said, referring to his mostly antipodean crew.
"What we really need is for the governments of Australia and New Zealand to step up and start enforcing maritime laws in these waters, or who knows what the whalers will do next."
Australia and New Zealand are investigating the collision between Japan's Shonan Maru No.2 and the Ady Gil, which caused the protest boat to break in two and sink without trace.
Australia expressed strong diplomatic concerns over the collision and claims the Japanese fleet chartered spying flights out of Australia.
Both the whalers and the protesters blame each other for the crash.
Japan hunts whales using a loophole in a 1986 international moratorium which allows "lethal research", and skirmishes with activists have grown increasingly sophisticated and intense.

The relationship with Jafar didn't last, but Campbell has no shortage of suitors. The current is Vladislav Doronin, a Russian entrepreneur, whom she has been involved with for several years. Rumours of an engagement have been ongoing seemingly since they started seeing each other. The pair met in Cannes in 2008.
According to reports Doronin is Moscow's answer to Donald trump. The wealthy real estate entrepreneur has a reported value of almost $2 billion and is the force behind several major developments in the city. Unfortunately for Kipp he doesn't share Trump's love of publicity – we could find little else on the notoriously secretive Russian.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Gothic delight...,
Raven (England) - See all my reviews
Centring on a supernatural curse affecting the immediate vicinity of Princeton University `The Accursed' is the latest instalment of Oates Gothic saga that began with `Bellefleur' published in 1980. The story runs through the period of 1900-1910 this impressive tome deals with the issue of the moral hysteria that begins to wreak havoc within this claustrophobic community.
As is usual with the wonderful Joyce Carol Oates this reading experience is akin more to a marathon than to a jog, and is all the more satisfying for it. Running at over 600 pages prepare to be immersed in a sprawling literary journey that is both breathtaking and masterful in its scope skilfully intergrating real life figures from American history, and unashamedly drawing the reader in to the less savoury sides of their characters. Many major themes of racism, sexism and mysoginism loom large throughout the book and Oates tackles these with aplomb and adopts a deliberately controversial viewpoint at times with the authorial voice resonating strongly. Oates is never one to shy away from the more controversial aspects of the characters she portrays and dares to challenge our preconceptions. Figures such as Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, Mark Twain, Jack London and Upton Sinclair himself move in and out of the plot, with Oates bluntly turning her pen, so to speak, on the less likeable characteristics particularly in relation to the political figures and within the greater context of the social issues of this period.
The plot is far too expansive to even begin to attempt to dissect in a review, but suffice to say that if you relish writing that reflets the Gothic tradition of the finest exponents of American fiction there is more than enough to sate your appetite. Opening with the elopement of a young bride with a man who may or may not be of supernatural stock the scene is set for further revelations of the demonic kind in this quintessential tale of terror and Gothic delights. Personally speaking, I found this highly reminiscent of Henry James- one of my favourites from the American canon- and I rather enjoy the experience of wading through literary treacle as it were, in the elongated descriptive passages, the incredibly slow burning plot and the minutiae of character detail that pays such close attention to historical fact. A challenging read it must be said but for this reader personally, a more than satisfying one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A skilled and natural writer creates a superb imaginative work,
This is an imaginative blend of historical fiction, social commentary and the supernatural. Ms. Oates has created very well developed characters and comments beautifully and subtly on the snobbery, racism and chauvinism of the US ruling classes at the start of the 20th century. This is epitomised by the puritan Anglo-Saxon "elite" of Princeton. As a comedy of social manners of the time alone it would work well. The character of Woodrow Wilson (President of Princeton University at the time) is particularly well drawn and his vanity and ingrained racism and sexism are very skilfully portrayed. Indeed there are a number of other "real life" historical characters including Jack London, Grover Cleveland (also a US President) and Upton Sinclair. Above all though it is a compelling if unusual supernatural drama. The depiction of the bog kingdom is superb and the paranormal reminds me of "Jonathan Strange & Dr. Norrell". The evil of the devilish interlopers is also brilliantly evoked. The book is long, probably 100 pages or so too long but highly recommended if you like such a concoction of social comedy, horror and fiction. A great writer. Surprised at mediocre reviews but it's a matter of taste.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joyce Carol Oates gets a few things off her chest - highly entertaining historic mystery(?),
Blue in Washington "Barry Ballow" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
Wow. Hard to do justice to this sprawling (667 pages) and shape-shifting saga. Two days after finishing "The Accursed" and I'm still thinking about this juggernaut of crime and punishment in the late Gilded Age. Actually, the theme of crime and punishment doesn't even get close to the elements of good and evil that author Joyce Carol Oates has woven together in this genre-bending novel that starts as historical fiction and quickly begins to shift toward science-fiction/horror, with a general "sins of the fathers" overhang. Along the path there is an in depth look at social history--including a chilling sub-story of northern lynchings, racial discrimination and casual abuse of Blacks and other non-WASP citizens that become a moral legacy that must be reckoned with as the book progresses. .
What could be called a rage against the patriarchy is also a central theme of "The Accursed", where great men of the time--Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, Jack London, Upton Sinclair, Samuel Clemens and their male sidekicks and relatives are shown to be among the worst of misogynists of the period; dependent upon their female partners in all ways, but ungrateful, self-absorbed and completely insensitive in their relationships with their better halves.
The book's setting in Princeton, New Jersey of 1905-1906 (the author's own long-time home), provides a context of protected male WASP establishment privilege, within the university where Woodrow Wilson sits as President and worries about the next step up the career ladder, the erosion of his current authority by faculty rivals and his health, which is under constant attack by his world-class hypochondria; and in the outside community which is a stronghold of corporate and political heavy hitters, where everyone is subservient to the lord and master.
Also in residence in one of the less fashionable parts of Princeton is the young muckraker writer and Socialist, Upton Sinclair, who represents coming social and political change, but also the cluelessness of important men of the time in their treatment of women and children. Sinclair (the character) will pay for his preoccupation with the general improvement of public welfare with personal loss that is beyond his understanding. Despite his failings, I got the impression that author Oates came closest to admiration for Sinclair than for most of the rest of the book's cast of characters.
While this review may make it seem as though this book is some kind of strident commentary on Belle E[poch/Edwardian morality--which in part it definitely is--it's also a terrific, if somewhat erratic novel--with rich language, finely drawn characters and credible insights into how the forefathers and mothers played out their lives in what was a Gilded Age for only a very few people. The story allows for very little false nostalgia by the end of the story.
I haven't tried to include a thumbnail plot summary in this review because it just isn't practicable or necessary. I'll just recommend that you read "The Accursed" with patience and acceptance of the author's cross-genre and unorthodox methodology and enjoy the rollercoaster.
5.0 out of 5 stars A social history and fairy tale of old Princeton...,
Serenspoke (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Accursed (Kindle Edition)
I found 'The Accursed' at times interesting, informative, historically probing, a spur to further research, psychologically acute, outrageous, borderline ridiculous, horribly unsettling and, above all, hugely entertaining. From the very beginning we are plunged into the trials, tribulations, perturbations and horrors of an age in which changing attitudes towards class, race, gender, sexuality are causing psychological and social havoc to break out on a devastating scale in white, Anglo Saxon patriarchal and protestant small town America. The particular place is Princeton, New Jersey, the time is 1904/05 and the large cast of characters a mix of the historical (principally Woodrow Wilson and Upton Sinclair) and the fictional (the benighted Slade family of Crosswicks Manse among others). It is through the personalities and experiences of these protagonists that the drama of painful change is played out; the slow 'sloughing off' of the old dark murderous dishonesties and hypocrisies. The 'unspeakable', so often alluded to, is at last to be spoken of out loud.
Oates captures period and place beautifully – the details of town and university, buildings and interiors, clothes and hairstyles are set out alongside the physical idiosyncrasies and mental frailties of individuals crippled by social snobbery, sexual repression and religious indoctrination. The historical record is not done any great violence. A good deal of what goes on here does so in the heads of the characters. Are they ill? Stressed? Over imaginative? In their right minds? Who can say!
There are numerous allusions to the literature and folklore of the old world – Stoker's Dracula most obviously (the Count is a European aristocrat with impeccable manners and a way with the ladies!). The Bog Kingdom and its inhabitants deep in the woods have echoes of a Midsummer Night's Dream with the Count and Countess as 'bizarro' versions of Oberon and Titania (The Countess wants to keep Todd for herself much as Titania does the little Indian boy). Winslow Slade's 'vengeful God' tirade is reminiscent of Robinson Crusoe's tortured religious musings on his island in Defoe's classic work.
The book is long with many characters and lots of twists and turns but if you have the time to dive in and go with the flow it is quite fascinating and great fun.
4.0 out of 5 stars Unique Visions Of A Genius,
M. Brown (Cardiff United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is one of JCO's less readable works, but it's worth slogging through it to the end, because despite its pockets of boredom, it's a marvellous imaginative experience. Far better to have this kind of oddball Gothic novel from her, with its bizarre and infectious humour, than the more mainstream work like We Were The Mulvaneys, which I gave up reading quite early on. I recommend reading her early work like Them and Wonderland, as the purity of style is absent from the later works, excellent though they are. At some point her writing developed certain linguistic tics, the most irritating of which is 'only just' when 'only' or 'just' would have been adequate. It feels like some kind of colloquial inheritance of hers. Another she likes to use quite often is 'it was so' at the beginning of paragraphs or sentences in general. She keeps these tics to a relative minimum here, but there are still numerous mistakes that an assiduous editor would have removed. For instance, why is Ellen Wilson (the wife of Woodrow Wilson) at least twice referred to as Ellen West? Bizarre. Also at one point a reference is made to the rise of the women's movement, but it refers to the nineteen sixties, when in fact it's supposed to be the eighteen sixties. Having carped about these things, JCO is really the only living writer I will constantly read, because she's the only one that really matters. She remains a master of style and tone, and of course of characterisation. I love the searingly negative portrait of Jack London spouting out his repulsive racist attitudes, and the endearing portrait of the overly earnest Socialist and novelist Upton Sinclair. Yes, he's naive and unable to look after his wife, but one can't help but admire a figure who genuinely believed in what he did, unlike the odious Jack London. I even feel some sympathy for Woodrow Wilson in this portrait, despite his chauvinism and light-hearted racist banter, simply because of his level of confusion, his sense of being beleaguered at the university, and his catalogue of illnesses. You get the sense of the characters being imprisoned by the general ignorance (social, political, medical, cultural) of their time, of them being victims of their forebears, of being fundamentally doomed. If anyone wants to experience the true Oates, then you will find it here, more than in her social-realist depictions of family lives torn asunder. You will also find it alot in her ferociously intense short stories. She is literature's only living genius, so the least any serious reader can do is sit through this vast eccentric tome. By the end any intelligent reader will be glad they made the effort, considerable though it is.
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly enjoyable read,
I am not an Oates fanatic. I liked some of her books and disliked others, but this one convinced me completely. In my opinion it has a strong plot, a carefully crafted language and interesting characters. (There might be some logic issues but on the whole that doesn't seem to matter too much, since this is not a book about logic.) Above all the book features very strong scenes, in particular those that take place in the bog country. Also it felt very modern to me and not old at all - Oates plays with traditional gothic narrative but in a very entertaining way. All in all the novel gripped me like few others have and I felt like I had fallen into a very scary sometimes confusing but always very engaging dream.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing read,
irish reader (ireland) - See all my reviews
I love Joyce Carol Oates but she can be hit and miss. This was a miss for me, unfortunately. The story just rambled on and on and on... I lost interest in both the characters and the plot and didn't finish it.
3.0 out of 5 stars but some passages were tedious and I guess that at the end of the ...,
I have read most, if not all, of her books and some of them more than once. To me she is an astonishingly powerful writer. I saw once that the actress Jeanne Moreau referred to her as a 'witch'. However, I found this one to be a struggle. No spoiler here, but some passages were tedious and I guess that at the end of the day you have to engage with the main character and I found this to be impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best novelists today...,
Oates is such a prolific writing and encompasses so many styles - but this latest reminds me of classics like 'Bellefleur' and 'Mysteries of Wintherthurn', ambitious in scope and creating a world that is simultaneously fantastical, but also firmly rooted in a historical reality. Yes, it's extremely long with a huge gallery of characters, but well worth persevering with. I got fully involved in the lives of the Slades, Burrs, Wilsons in the Princeton of the early Twentieth Century and the mysterious Curse that appears to have cast its gloom over them all. In some respects, it reminds me of Sarah Waters' 'The Little Stranger' - which I also found very unsettling in places. This is an eerie gothic chiller, with some truly inspired and haunting moments, yet also moving and (surprisingly) humorous in parts. It's also an interesting allegory about US politics and how certain attitudes and value systems have helped to shape America today. A great read.

While many eyes will be on the national championship game -- the LSU-Alabama rematch -- it's possible the Pac-12 will produce two more entertaining bowl games.
Here's how we rank the Pac-12 bowl games.
1. Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 2): Oklahoma State (11-1) vs. Stanford (11-1). If you gave LSU or Alabama one of these two QBs, the national title game would no longer only be about defense. This will be college football's goodbye to Andrew Luck, while Oklahoma State and Brandon Weeden will want to make a simple statement: We should have played for the national title. This feels like a game that is certain to go into the fourth quarter.
2. Rose Bowl Game (Jan. 2): Oregon (11-2) vs. Wisconsin (11-2). Two high-powered offenses. One that spreads you out and overcomes you with tempo and speed. One that lines up and plays smashmouth football, at least until flashy QB Russell Wilson arrived in Madison. Oregon has lost two BCS bowl games in a row, so the Ducks need to win to make a firm claim to a spot in the nation's elite. Wisconsin sort of feels the same way -- the Badgers lost here last year to TCU, if you recall.
3. Valero Alamo (Dec. 29): Baylor (9-3) vs. Washington (7-5). It appears Baylor will feature the Heisman Trophy winner: QB Robert Griffin III. Or RG3, for short. Both teams have plenty of offense and neither will scare you on defense. If there are fewer than 75 points on the board, we'll be surprised.
4.Bridgepoint Education Holiday (Dec. 28): Cal (7-5) vs. Texas (7-5). How can a matchup of 7-5 teams be a good one? Well, there's a rivalry angle here for Cal fans who have tenaciously remembered that Texas coach Mack Brown lobbied in 2004 for a Rose Bowl berth at the Bears' expense. For the Old Blues this is a chance at vindication. And both of these teams could use some positive offseason momentum.
5. Hyundai Sun (Dec. 31): Georgia Tech (8-4) vs. Utah (7-5). It will be interesting to see how Georgia Tech's option attack does against a tough Utah defense.
6. MAACO Las Vegas (Dec. 22): Boise State (11-1) vs. Arizona State (6-6). This is a sad way to end the career of Boise State QB Kellen Moore. One of the great QBs in college football history is going out, not in the BCS bowl he deserved, but in the Las Vegas Bowl against a team that collapsed and fired its coach. I'd rate the Sun Devils' chances here only slightly above zero.
7. Kraft Fight Hunger (Dec. 31): Illinois (6-6) vs. UCLA (6-7). You have two interim coaches because both teams fired their head coach. You have a certainty that one team will end the season with a losing record. You have one team riding a six-game losing streak. You have another that lost its final regular season game 50-zip to its archrival and needed a waiver from the NCAA to even be here. If you are watching this game on New Year's Eve, you are in need of some fairly strong New Year's resolutions about, you know, getting a life.

Tips That Will Help You Golf Better
You are a decent golfer but you believe that there is much you can do to improve yourself. It is true, there is always more advice that you can sort through and try out for yourself. Follow the advice in this article and you should hopefully see an improvement in your game.
A helpful tip when it comes to golf, is to always replace your divots. This is important, because it is a widely accepted action that helps to maintain a good functioning course and also maintains the aesthetics of it. All it takes is for you to pick up the divot, return it to the spot that it came from and finally, push down firmly with your foot.
A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to allow other faster players to play through if you or your group is playing considerably slower than them. This is considered to be normal golf etiquette and should be something that you look for no matter what course you are on.
A helpful tip when it comes to golf, is to never let your tools dictate your skill. Your skill should be independent of any equipment that you use and better tools should only enhance your current ability. This is important to consider when it comes to golf clubs, as well as, any accessories that you use. Read the rest of this entry »
