Top 2013 recruiting classes by offensive position
Signing Day has come and passed, and now it's time to forecast which recruiting classes will find the most on-field success. With the faxes all sent, Rivals.com takes a look at which teams fared best on the offensive side of the ball.
• 2013 recruits: Anthony Jennings, Hayden Rettig
• The skinny: The Tigers brought in the nation's third-ranked pro-style quarterback in Rettig and the sixth-ranked dual-threat passer in Jennings. Both will need time to mature, but -- coupled with an elite LSU defense -- both could grow into game-changers in Baton Rouge.
• 2013 recruit: Max Browne
• The skinny: Browne went wire-to-wire as the nation's top-ranked quarterback in the 2013 class. The Sammamish, Wash., native threw for 12,742 yards and 144 touchdowns over the final three years of his high school career, and he could make an immediate impact after enrolling early at USC.
3. Penn State
• 2013 recruits: Christian Hackenberg, Tyler Ferguson
• The skinny: It's tough to accurately gauge Hackenberg's value to Penn State's 2013 haul. Not only is he the second-ranked quarterback in this year's cycle, but he stuck with the Nittany Lions after they were pummeled by NCAA sanctions. Ferguson comes from the juco ranks, and he could potentially provide Hackenberg with some extra time to develop.
4. Texas A&M
• 2013 recruits: Kenny Hill, Kohl Stewart
• The skinny: Kevin Sumlin's Aggies were the only other school besides LSU to land two four-star quarterbacks. Both Hill and Stewart committed to A&M before Johnny Manziel's Heisman-winning campaign, and both have ambitions to become his eventual successor.
5. Auburn
• 2013 recruits: Jeremy Johnson, Nick Marshall
• The skinny: At 6-foot-6 and 215 pounds, Johnson has drawn comparisons to former Auburn great Cam Newton. Still, the Montgomery, Ala., product is much more of a pocket passer than Newton was. Marshall was the second-rated juco quarterback on the board, and he brings more of a dual-threat package to the Plains.
1. Alabama
• 2013 recruits: Derrick Henry, Tyren Jones, Alvin Kamara, Altee Tenpenny
• The skinny: The Crimson Tide have the top incoming running back crop in the nation -- and it's not even close. Four more prized backs are on their way to Tuscaloosa, including Henry, high school football's all-time leading rusher. Look for at least one true freshman to team up with T.J. Yeldon in 'Bama's backfield next season.
Rivals: 'Bama takes home top-ranked 2013 recruiting class
• 2013 recruits: Ty Isaac, Justin Davis
• The skinny: Isaac and Davis committed to the Trojans within days of each other, and, at the time, they said they looked forward to the competition. Both are Rivals100 prospects, bring different skill sets to campus and could add another weapon to an attack that already features wideout Marqise Lee.
3. Ole Miss
• 2013 recruits: Eugene Brazley, Mark Dodson Jr., Kalio Moore, Jordan Wilkins
• The skinny: Perhaps overlooked in Ole Miss' star-studded class, a crop of talented running backs will join Hugh Freeze's squad in Oxford. The headliner is Dodson, a 5-10, 193-pounder who is a dynamic receiving threat out of the backfield.
4. Notre Dame
• 2013 recruits: Greg Bryant, Tarean Folston
• The skinny: Signing Bryant out of Delray Beach, Fla., was one of Brian Kelly's biggest achievements in his impressive 2013 haul. Bryant rushed for 1,464 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior, while Folston -- a Cocoa, Fla., native -- should add an elusive game-changer to the Irish attack.
5. Michigan
• 2013 recruits: Derrick Green, Deveon Smith
• The skinny: The Wolverines are looking to get back to their power-running roots, and Green and Smith are between-the-tackles backs who should further that cause. Green, a five-star talent out of Richmond, Va., was the top-ranked running back in this year's cycle and should make an instant impact.
1. Florida
• 2013 recruits: Alvin Bailey, Ahmad Fulwood, Marqui Hawkins, Demarcus Robinson, Chris Thompson
• The skinny: The Gators signed five wideouts in their 2013 class, three of whom are four-star prospects. Bailey is a do-it-all playmaker with a nose for the end zone, while the 6-2, 200-pound Robinson is one of the most naturally gifted athletes in the country.
2. Ole Miss
• 2013 recruits: Laquon Treadwell, Quincy Adeboyejo, Derrick Jones, Quadarias Mireles
• The skinny: Treadwell, a five-star talent out of Crete, Ill., turned heads when he spurned Midwest programs to sign with Freeze's Rebels. Both he and Adeboyejo should see early action in an offense that racked up 10 passing touchdowns over its final three games last season.
STAPLES: How Ole Miss landed its historic recruiting class
3. Tennessee
• 2013 recruits: Paul Harris, Ryan Jenkins, Marquez North, Josh Smith
• The skinny: Butch Jones' biggest recruiting victory since taking over at Rocky Top was landing North, an explosive target out of Charlotte. Harris is also a four-star prospect with good size (6-4, 186), while Jenkins and Smith give the Volunteers long-term depth at the position.
4. Texas A&M
• 2013 recruits: Sebastian Larue, Kyrion Parker, Jeremy Tabuyo, JaQuay Williams
• The skinny: Williams was a Rivals100 prospect in the class of 2012. Now, with a year of prep school under his belt, he should be primed to contribute immediately in College Station. It's easy to attract wide receivers with a returning Heisman winner under center, and three of A&M's new additions are four-star talents.
5. Auburn
• 2013 recruits: Earnest Robinson, Tony Stevens, Dominic Walker
• The skinny: In Robinson and Stevens, the Tigers have landed one of the most potent receiving tandems in the 2013 class. Factor in the 6-2, 195-pound Walker, and Auburn has a trio of pass-catchers who could thrive in Gus Malzahn's up-tempo attack.
1. Alabama
• 2013 recruit: O.J. Howard
• The skinny: Howard has the most potential of any tight end to come out of the high school ranks since Martellus Bennett in 2005, and he enters a great situation at Alabama. Nick Saban's squad just lost senior Michael Williams, and its returning group has a combined eight career receptions. Look for Howard to emerge as a key target for senior quarterback AJ McCarron.
2. Vanderbilt
• 2013 recruits: Nathan Marcus, Mitchell Parsons, Brandon Vanderburg, Mack Weaver
• The skinny: Tight end was certainly a position of emphasis for the Commodores in 2013, as James Franklin brought in four new prospects. Parsons is the lone four-star of the group, and the 6-5, 230-pounder can play both on the line and split out as a receiver.
3. Notre Dame
• 2013 recruits: Mike Heuerman, Jacob Matuska, Durham Smythe
• The skinny: Notre Dame signed three tight ends, though Kelly and staff could move Matuska to defensive end upon his arrival in South Bend. Heuerman and Smythe should both serve as versatile additions to an offense that just lost All-America Tyler Eifert.
• 2013 recruits: DeSean Smith, Logan Stokes
• The skinny: After dazzling scouts at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl last month, Smith shot up the charts to become the second-ranked tight end in the 2013 class. He has outstanding hands, and he could pair nicely with Stokes, a more polished prospect from the juco ranks.
5. Michigan
• 2013 recruits: Jake Butt, Khalid Hill
• The skinny: In Michigan's transition from the spread to a pro-style system, the tight end position takes on much greater importance. To that end, Brady Hoke did a nice job signing both Butt and Hill. Butt has potential as a blocker and receiver, while Hill could move into more of an H-back role.
1. Michigan
• 2013 recruits: Kyle Bosch, David Dawson, Chris Fox, Patrick Kugler, Dan Samuelson, Scott Sypniewski, Logan Tuley-Tillman
• The skinny: In addition to adding a great quarterback (Shane Morris), top running backs and solid tight ends, Hoke landed key prospects on the offensive line. Kugler is the highest-ranked player in the group, and he's expected to develop into a center. Sypniewski was brought in as a long-snapper.
• 2013 recruits: Caleb Benenoch, Kenny Lacy, John Lopez, Poasi Moala, Christian Morris, Scott Qussenberry, Alex Redmond
• The skinny: Six of the Bruins' seven offensive line signees are four-star recruits. The 6-6, 293-pound Morris is raw with tremendous upside, while Benenoch -- a Katy, Texas, native -- spurned in-state programs to go to UCLA. This group should bolster an offense that thrived under Jim Mora's tutelage in 2012.
3. Notre Dame
• 2013 recruits: Hunter Bivin, Steve Elmer, Mike McGlinchey, Colin McGovern, John Montelus
• The skinny: Notre Dame finished with the third-ranked recruiting class in the nation, and that was aided in no small part by the Irish's offensive line crop. Elmer and McGlinchey are true offensive tackles, while Bivin appears to possess the versatility to play anywhere on the line. Montelus has the size (6-5, 295) of a future NFL offensive guard.
4. Texas
• 2013 recruits: Rami Hammad, Desmond Harrison, Darius James, Kent Perkins
• The skinny: The Longhorns didn't have many scholarships to work with, but they still needed to address holes on the offensive line. Mack Brown did that by signing four prospects, three of whom maintained four-star ratings. Perkins is the standout of the group -- a powerful drive-blocker with terrific footwork.
• 2013 recruits: Josh Boutte, Andy Dodd, K.J. Malone, Ethan Pocic
• The skinny: The theme of this LSU offensive line group is strength. The 6-7, 285-pound Pocic is one of the most physical offensive tackles in the country, and the 6-5, 305-pound Boutte is equally dominant at the guard position. Malone is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Karl Malone.

Well, congrats to Louisville. While my Gators looked just awful, the Cards came to play. SEC at .500 in the post season. Ugh.
Looks like Bama and the Ags both have to pull it off to salvage the post season.
With the SEC kicking off its bowl schedule today, we wanted to get you up to speed with the television listings, latest lines, keys to victory and our own predictions for each of the league's first eight contests.
Naturally, next week's BCS Championship Game between Alabama and Notre Dame will get its own breakdown a bit later.
But without further ado, here's your holiday gridiron primer for all the SEC action this week…
Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl (Nashville, TN)
Vanderbilt (8-4) vs NC State (7-5)
12:00pm ET, Today on ESPN
Opening Line: VU -5
Current Line: VU -7.5
Sidenotes: Vanderbilt has the SEC's longest win streak at six games and it's won those six games by an average of 24 points, scoring more than 40 points in four of those six contests. NCSU lost three of its last five games allowing 43 to North Carolina, 33 to Virginia, and 62 to Clemson in those defeats.
Key for Vanderbilt: Own the air. NC State had the ACC's second-best passing attack this season, but Vanderbilt had the third-best pass defense in the SEC. In the all-important opponent's passer rating statistic, Vandy actually placed second in the league. While Commodore QB Jordan Rodgers didn't match the numbers of Wolfpack QB Mike Glennon, Rodgers protected the football — just five INTs all season — against superior defenses. NCSU's pass defense ranked just ninth in the ACC.
Pick: Vanderbilt 27, NC State 17
Chick-fil-A Bowl (Atlanta, GA)
LSU (10-2) vs Clemson (10-2)
7:30pm ET, Tonight on ESPN
Opening Line: LSU -3
Current Line: LSU -6
Sidenotes: Clemson had the best offense in the ACC rolling up 518 yards per game. But in a 27-17 loss to South Carolina to end the season, the Tigers put up just 328 yards of offense (145 rushing, 183 passing). LSU ranked just ahead of Carolina in total defense in the SEC this year.
Key for LSU: Show up. The Tigers aren't thrilled to be heading to Atlanta when slots in more prestigious bowls were available. The last time a Top 10 SEC team moaned so much about landing in Atlanta, #6 Tennessee was whipped 27-14 by unranked Clemson in 2004. LSU has the superior defense and the superior team. But if the Bayou Bengals aren't fired up for this one, Clemson QB Tajh Boyd will surprise.
Pick: Clemson 24, LSU 23
TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl (Jacksonville, FL)
Mississippi State (8-4) vs Northwestern (9-3)
12:00pm ET, Tomorrow on ESPN2
Opening Line: MSU -2
Current Line: NU -1
Sidenotes: After a 7-0 start to the season, MSU lost four of its last five games. In fact, the Bulldogs went 0-4 against bowl teams this year losing by an average margin of 23.2 points per game. Northwestern went 4-2 against bowl-bound teams and beat Vanderbilt 23-13 back in September.
Key for Mississippi State: Protect QB Tyler Russell. State allowed just 16 sacks all season, the second-best number in the SEC. The O-line need to be solid again. Russell sprained his ankle in the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss and there's no way to know if he'll be 100% or not. Northwestern's weakness is pass defense (they ranked 12th in the 12-team Big Ten against the pass) while MSU's strength has been Russell and his arm. If he's not at fully healthy, a banged up Bulldog running back corps will have to move the ball on the Big Ten's third-best rush defense. Better hope Russell starts healthy and stays healthy.
Pick: Northwestern 24, Mississippi State 21
Outback Bowl (Tampa, FL)
South Carolina (10-2) vs Michigan (8-4)
1:00pm ET, Tomorrow on ESPN
Opening Line: USC -4.5
Current Line: USC -5.5
Sidenotes: Heading into the season, Michigan and South Carolina were both expected to be Top 10 squads. The Gamecocks lived up to their billing. But both teams were disappointed in their stars. Michigan QB Denard Robinson was far from the Heisman candidate Wolverine fans had hoped he would be and Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore had his season cut short by a devastating knee injury. In other words, this game would have looked even better to preseason prognosticators.
Key for South Carolina: Shut down Robinson. Gamecock DE Jadeveon Clowney and company will need to contain Robinson and not let him escape pressure. Robinson averaged 248 yards of offense per game, but he was much more of a threat with his legs than with his arm. In Michigan's six wins with Robinson at the helm, he averaged 301 yards per game. In the Wolverines' four losses with Robinson at the controls, he was held to an average of just 169 yards per contest. Stop Michigan's quarterback and Carolina should record their second 11-win season in a row.
Pick: South Carolina 27, Michigan 17
Capital One Bowl (Orlando, FL)
Georgia (11-2) vs Nebraska (10-3)
1:00pm ET, Tomorrow on ABC
Opening Line: UGA -8.5
Current Line: UGA -9
Sidenotes: Nebraska ranked eighth in the nation this year running the football (254 yards per game). Georgia's rush defense ranked #78 in America and gave up 350 yards on the ground to Alabama its last time out. Now the Dawgs will have to stop the Cornhuskers' run game without star nose guard John Jenkins, who found himself academically ineligible for UGA's bowl game.
Key for Georgia: Don't get cocky, kid. The oddsmakers and the betting public certainly took note of the 70 points Wisconsin hung on Nebraska in the Big Ten Championship Game. Ditto Georgia's effort in the SEC title game against Alabama. But it's hard to imagine Nebraska playing as poorly as it did in Indianapolis. And can UGA bounce back from its heartbreaking loss in Atlanta? The Dawgs had better have their helmets strapped on tight for this one.
Pick: Georgia 31, Nebraska 24
Allstate Sugar Bowl (New Orleans, LA)
Florida (11-1) vs Louisville (10-2)
8:30pm ET, Wednesday on ESPN
Opening Line: UF -15
Current Line: UF -14
Sidenotes: Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater led the Cardinals to the top of the Big East passing chart this season. But Florida doesn't have a Big East defense. To be clear, the Gators rank #5 in the nation in total defense, #6 in rushing defense, and #13 in passing defense.
Key for Florida: Protect the football. Florida should be able to run the ball on Louisville and it's hard to imagine the Cardinals being able to move the ball much at all against the Gators. This is a Florida team that beat 10-2 Texas A&M, 10-2 LSU, 10-2 South Carolina and 11-2 Florida State. UF's only loss came in a game with 11-2 Georgia in which the Gators turned the ball over six times. They still just lost that one by eight points. Barring a Keystone Kops-like performance, Florida should win this win easily. (At least on paper.)
Pick: Florida 24, Louisville 7
AT&T Cotton Bowl (Arlington, TX)
Texas A&M (10-2) vs Oklahoma (10-2)
8:00pm ET, Friday on FOX
Opening Line: A&M -3
Current Line: A&M -3
Sidenotes: Aggie QB Johnny Manziel will try to become the fourth-straight Heisman Trophy-winner to taste victory in his team's bowl game after winning the award. Mark Ingram snapped a four-game losing streak for the Heisman club in 2009 and Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III have followed Ingram's lead. Manziel appears to be every bit as dangerous a weapon as those last three guys.
Key for Texas A&M: Make the last stop. This matchup of old Big XII foes looks to be a pure offensive shootout. A&M ranked #3 nationally in scoring offense, Oklahoma ranked #11. The Aggies stand at #13 in rushing offense while the Sooners are #4 in passing offense. In the total offense category it's Texas A&M #3, Oklahoma #10. Ah, but on defense, the Sooners were a tad better in the national rankings (#45 to #57). The team that makes the last stop on defense in this game will probably win the thing. The Aggies need to make sure they're that team.
Pick: Texas A&M 41, Oklahoma 37
BBVA Compass Bowl (Birmingham, AL)
Ole Miss (6-6) vs Pittsburgh (6-6)
1:00pm ET, Saturday on ESPN
Opening Line: UM -2
Current Line: UM -3.5
Sidenotes: If a team has the "excitement" edge it's Ole Miss. The Rebels haven't been bowling since 2009. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh will be making its third-consecutive trip to a bowl… to the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham to be specific. UM's players should be a lot more enthused about a trip to Legion Field with a 6-6 record than Pitt's players.
Key for Ole Miss: Wear 'em out. Pittsburgh had the Big East's third-best defense in 2012. They were plus-eight in turnover margin (Ole Miss was minus-one). The Panthers also won their final two games of the season and came from way ahead to lose to #1 Notre Dame (29-26 in overtime) in early November. Clearly, Pitt's not a bad football team. But the Rebels' up-tempo attack caused some headaches for plenty of good teams this year, including Alabama. Pittsburgh finished second in the Big East in time of possession. Their defense, therefore, had plenty of time to rest. Ole Miss will try to speed up the game on the Panthers. They've already shown in SEC play that they can do just that.
Pick: Ole Miss 31, Pittsburgh 21

Sitting there listening to Marc Trestman elucidate at his introductory news conference at Halas Hall, the vision appeared.
Jay Cutler, career year in 2013.
Yes, I saw it. Of that I am certain.

OK, so I've seen purple elephants before. Trestman wasn't coaching those elephants.
This is what Trestman is going to do.
He is going to break down Cutler, take him back to the beginning. Strip all the layers of paint. Sandpaper away the roughness.
Then he is going to build him back up again, one fundamental at a time.
On the first day of training camp, this former quarterback will tell Cutler, "This is a football."
At some point, he also presumably will explain to him what a back-foot throw is.
"The fundamentals and techniques are the most important thing to help our team win," Trestman said. "The quarterback has a big job. He has to protect the ball. He has to live for the next play. He does it a number of different ways. At the snap, in the running game, in the confines of the pocket, locating the ball and outside the pocket."
To most people in this town, that sounds better than "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" after a touchdown bomb.
We've seen this approach with Cutler before. It was taken by Mike Martz, another outstanding quarterbacks coach and offensive mind. Trestman reminds me of him in some ways.
But there are some differences. Trestman is more flexible in his approach. And he is more likely to demand that his protections make his quarterbacks look good as opposed to vice versa.
From where we sit now, we can say Martz and Cutler never were a good match. Martz's system calls for his quarterback get rid of the ball quickly and on time and that he do precisely what the play sent in from the sideline calls for him to do.
That's not Cutler. Or at least it has not been Cutler.
Trestman probably cannot make Cutler something he never has been, but he can minimize his weaknesses and accentuate his strengths.
He can do that by getting in his grill and staying there. Trestman will be hands on. He talked about going "hip-to-hip" with the quarterback and called the coach-quarterback relationship "the No. 1 marriage in all of sports."
Even Cindy Trestman, his beaming better half, could not object from her seat in the first row.
Ostensibly, Trestman is the new head coach/offensive coordinator/play caller/quarterbacks coach of the Bears. Too much on his plate?
It wasn't too much for Mike McCarthy. Or Sean Payton. Or Jon Gruden. Or Mike Holmgren. Or Mike Shanahan. Or Bill Walsh.

This work will be included in the archives of the Comité Léger under reference no.2012180402.
Expressed with an arresting graphic immediacy, Léger's
Composition aux quatre figures
bears a direct compositional resemblance to his celebrated painting
Les trois soeurs
(1952), now in the collection of the Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart. The composition, with its group of boldly modelled, sculptural figures was one which he addressed repeatedly during the 1950s, and yet in each version of the scene he deliberately alters certain formal aspects so as to imbue each work with its own particular significance.
It is characteristic of Léger to revisit imagery from his earlier work. The two standing figures from
Composition aux quatre figures
Les trois soeurs
for example are drawn from
Les deux soeurs
of 1935. However, during the latter part of his career we can detect a deliberate appropriation of previous compositions to achieve a more clearly defined ideological spirit. As Peter de Francia notes, 'One can make the claim that the pictures done in the last ten years of his life become more didactic, more preoccupied with thematic content, and more ideological - the reverse of simplification in terms of content - than anything he had previously painted...These changes were brought about in a number of ways... he radically reinforced his colour. He coupled this with the use of imagery of an increasingly direct kind.' (P. de Francia,
Fernand Léger
, New Haven and London, 1983, p.228).
From the outset, the poster-like quality of
Les trois soeurs
is harnessed by Léger to emphasise the communicative effect of
Composition aux quatre figures
. Set against a plane of vivid red the figures are rendered with a stark clarity. The contours of their stylised and tumid forms are uncompromisingly articulated with heavy black lines. These black lines, as Léger explained, 'gave the required intensity, and by relying on it I was able to prise out the colour: for instead of conscribing it by contours I was able to place it freely outside them.' (Fernand Léger quoted in P. de Francia,
op. cit.
, p.254). It is this combination of linear form and monochromatic colour that gives the figures of both
Les trois soeurs
Composition aux quatre figures
a statuesque presence and throws them defiantly into the foreground.
Furthering its graphic effect, Léger also introduces a textual element to
Composition aux quatre figures
. Indeed, it is the only known example of this particular composition which includes an inscription. Here, the juxtaposition of text and image enriches our appreciation of the otherwise familiar scene and directs the emotive response of the viewer. Meanwhile, Léger also implements subtle compositional adjustments and substitutions to further illustrate his message, and to ground the work with a cultural relevance.
Prior to 1952, the year in which
Les trois soeurs
and possibly
Composition aux quatre figures
were executed, Léger had regularly exhibited at peace exhibitions in France and abroad as well as attending the first Peace Congress in Wroclaw, Poland, with Picasso, Eluard, Aimé, Cesaire and others. However, it was not until this year that Léger made an important public statement on peace at the Vienna Congress. In his 1952 address Léger condemned the waste of human life for political ends. The emotional core of his speech was drawn from his personal experience of two World Wars, in particular the First World War in which he had been a stretcher bearer and had experienced the unprecedented horror of the trenches.
In light of this and the particular historical context,
Composition aux quatre figures
assumes a poignant gravitas. It was created at a time when the anxieties of the Cold War were at their height and, more specifically, during or immediately after the Korean War (1950-1953). In 1952, the French Communist Party, of which Léger was a member, was deeply unsettled by news of the McCarthy persecutions in the US, and the situation in Korea where the US was suspected of using biological weapons against the North Koreans. There was deep public concern with regard to the research and stockpiling of biological weapons, and this contributed to the general climate of fear associated with the Cold War arms race.
Clutching a peace treaty instead of the flower, the collected group of figures in
Composition aux quatre figures
represents the different races of the world as they join together in harmony. The composition is re-cast as a tentative hope for the world peace as well as warning of the perils which lie ahead if disarmament is not achieved. The child, in earlier arrangements an animated accordion player, is now depicted lying motionless in the arms of the seated figure. The viewer is nonetheless left to question if this child is perhaps an innocent victim, and a symbol of foreboding for the future of humanity.
As if to underscore this intention for accord and friendship between nations, Léger personally gifted this work to the famous Russian actress Lyudmila Ivanovna Kasatkina in early 1955. Celebrated throughout Russia and internationally, the movie starlet had played a leading role in the film 'Tiger Girl' in 1954 to great acclaim. Léger publically presented the work to the actress at a dinner in the Soviet embassy during her visit to Paris and the work is inscribed to 'our dear tigress' by both Léger himself and his wife, Nadia Khodassievitch Léger.

Notes from a Snowy Owl Invasion
The majestic birds of the far north are traveling as far south as Bermuda.
Long before it caught the attention of Harry Potter fans, the snowy owl already represented its own kind of magic for fans of the outdoors. This powerful white owl is emblematic of the far north, spending the summer from treeline north to the northernmost land of Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia. Even in winter, most snowy owls in North America stay near the Arctic Circle, with only a few drifting to southern Canada and the northern United States.
At least, that's what happens in an average year. About one winter in every four, the numbers of snowy owls moving south in early winter are noticeably increased. Then the ghostly birds are spotted in dozens of locations south of the Canadian border, creating excitement among the local birders.
We had seen a big flight just two years ago, in winter 2011-2012, with owls from coast to coast and many in the interior south to Kansas and Missouri. The following winter, 2012-2013, had seen a smaller "echo" flight develop. So we assumed that numbers would be much lower this year, in a return to "normal."
We were wrong.
During the last week of November and first days of December 2013, it's become apparent that something is going on with snowy owls. Even people who pay close attention to bird records were taken by surprise because it developed so rapidly.
Along the short coastline of New Hampshire, it's not too unusual for one or two snowies to show up. This year one was found as early as November 22. But by the 30th, at least 12 were on or near the New Hampshire coast, with up to five visible from one spot. Just to the south, in Massachusetts, a few snowy owls appear every winter. This year on December 3, observers counted at least eight in the immediate Boston area, plus five visible from one spot in Salisbury, 13 visible from one vantage point in Rowley, and others at scattered sites on the coast. In Maine, compilers struggled to keep up with all the sightings of multiple birds along the coast, including several well offshore at Monhegan Island.
The birds are going south, too. Multiples are scattered around New Jersey. In Delaware, the last previous record had involved a single bird in 2005, but by the beginning of December the state had at least five, possibly seven. Two had reached Virginia. One on the Outer Banks of North Carolina provided one of very few records for that state, but then a second bird was found inland.
The numbers of snowy owls, their sudden arrival, and the southward extent of the flight all have been noteworthy. But what really stands out about this year's invasion, so far, is the fact that it is focused so far east. There have been some good counts around the eastern Great Lakes (such as eight along the Lake Erie shoreline at Cleveland, Ohio, and four at the airport at Syracuse, New York), but the majority of the birds have been found along the Atlantic Coast--or even off the coast.
Newfoundland is the easternmost part of Canada, a very large island at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It's not unusual for snowy owls to arrive there in winter. This year, three were found on November 15 in the Cape Race area, but their numbers increased rapidly. Bruce Mactavish and friends found 42 birds there on November 30, a number that Mactavish regarded as "staggering." But the very next day, the same group of observers scoured the same area again and counted 138 snowy owls! These were all in the general vicinity of Cape Race, at the extreme southeastern tip of Newfoundland. If an owl were to fly south from there, it wouldn't see land again until it reached Bermuda.
The island group of Bermuda lies about 600 miles off the coast of the southeastern United States and 1,200 miles south of Newfoundland. With its subtropical climate, it hardly seems like habitat for snowy owls, but there have been a couple of past records. This fall, at least two and probably three have arrived there. For multiples to have reached this isolated bit of land, we can only imagine how many of the owls must be out flying over the open waters of the Atlantic.
So--why is this happening? So far, we don't have a complete explanation. The majority of the invading owls are heavily marked young birds, hatched this year, so evidently snowy owls had very good breeding success this year in the eastern Canadian Arctic. And evidently there isn't enough food in the Arctic now to sustain them, so they are moving south. But are there exceptional conditions in the Arctic right now--unusual weather, unusual lack of sea ice--that would be affecting the owls' movements? We are still working on that question.

Product Description
Superior quality on this beautiful coin made during the 20th Century's Renaissance of American coinage.
Minted from 1907-1933, these $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle coins contain .9675 oz of gold. This first year issue of this design has been authenticated and graded as Choice Brilliant Uncirculated MS-63 by PCGS. This Gold Double Eagle was America's last circulating $20 Gold coin and displays unmatched beauty and rich history with stunning eye appeal and outstanding luster. This coin was originally designed as a high relief and looked more like a medal, but was lowered for a number of reasons namely because they did not stack well and because they had to be struck multiple times which wore out the dies quicker than normal. This coin is considered by many to be the most beautiful American coin ever produced. 1907 Saints and some 1908 Saints do not bear the motto "In God We Trust" as it was not required by law to use this motto on coinage. President Roosevelt even defended Saint Gaudens' omission by stating that it was a profane use of God's name. This particular coin has tremendous eye appeal with booming luster.

A colloquium
Friday, May 16, 20084:30 PM - 6:00 PM CA
Scholars from ethnic studies and area studies will discuss Shu-mei Shih's book, Visuality and Identity: Sinophone Articulations across the Pacific, and engage the author with comments and questions
Robert Chi (Asian Languages & Cultures, UCLA), Chair
Colleen Lye is Associate Professor of English at UC Berkeley where she teaches courses in Asian American literature, twentieth-century Anglophone literature, and postcolonial theory. Her book, America's Asia: Racial Form and American Literature, 1893-1945 (Princeton University Press, 2005) won an award from the Association for Asian American Studies and honorable mention from the American Studies Association. Most recently, she coedited with Christopher Bush a special issue of Representations called "Forms of Asia," which appeared in the summer of 2007.
Yingjin Zhang is Professor of Chinese Literature and Film, Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies at the University of California San Diego. Among his publications are From Underground to Independent: Alternative Film Culture in Contemporary China (coedited with Paul Pickowicz; Rowman & Littlefield, 2006); China in Focus: Studies of Chinese Film and Literature in the Perspective of Academic History (in Chinese) (Nanjing: Nanjing University Press, 2006), and Chinese National Cinema (Routledge, 2004), and The City in Modern Chinese Literature and Film: Configurations of Space, Time, and Gender (Stanford University Press, 1996).
Shu-mei Shih's Visuality and Identity: Sinophone Articulations across the Pacific (University of California Press, 2007) inaugurated the field of Sinophone studies. The book has been described as a "vanguard excursion into sophisticated cultural criticism situated at the intersections of Chinese studies, Asian American studies, diaspora studies, and transnational studies." Arguing that the visual has become the primary means of mediating identities under global capitalism, Shih examines the production and circulation of images across what she terms the "Sinophone Pacific," which comprises Sinitic-language-speaking communities such as the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Chinese America. This groundbreaking work argues that the dispersal of the so-called Chinese peoples across the world needs to be reconceptualized in terms of vibrant or vanishing communities of Sinitic-language cultures rather than of ethnicity and nationality.

There was a lot of missing posters all over town They were curious what the inside of her house looked like, so they went to take a look. It was one of the gross, ugly, smelling house ever, it was disgusting. There was fur and little pieces of cat food everywhere. We heard the back door open and before we knew it she was standing in front of them. That afternoon they were riding their bikes down the hill by her house.
They were racing to see who could go the fastest. Abby's tire was coming off her wheel. She lost control of her bike and slammed right into Braten. Next, they woke up in the old lady's house. Abby said, "Where are we?" The Cat Lady heard them talking. She ran to see them. She asked them if they would like some hot chocolate after the big crash. They said "Sure" and she put a pot on. They loved it so much they fell asleep again.
So they woke up laying on the couch. They were hairy and smelled funny. What happened to them, do you know?
The end.

although if we step out side the box of, "come to england/ france/ austrailia/ brazil" i would like to see weezer do something different. here are some thoughts.....
1) a big mahoosive Foozer tour?
2) weezer picks some members on here then plays in their home town ?
3) and because i have run out of ideas................we all (meaning everyone on this site) meet in hong kong for a massive party and get tattoo's
now we all love discussion here so what 3 things would you like to see happen when weezer turns 20?
*but don't write too much i dont like big paragraphs.

I can't blame you since I hadn't heard of them till 2 years ago, and at that point I thought I had found every good varied rock band. To state in plainly, Sloan is the modern Beatles with 4 songwriters/singers & 10 albums, yet for some reason they never hit outside of Canada. I recommend you youtube them and watch some of their videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_ON9YJs6RM&feature=related or Unkind, Rest of my Life, Money City Maniacs, Witches Wand, Coax Me etc. and if you are a Weezer fan and a classic rock fan you may have just found another favorite band.
BTW: They backed up Rivers on the Little Diane song, so at least he knows who they are.


text: Hi all. My iphone does not work with 2G signal now. My sim card is 3G. When my firmware was 2.1, I used turbosim with my 3G sim card. My phone worked good and it could search/use 2G signal. Now, my upgrade firmware to 2.2 and use yellowsn0w 0.96. Something happened. When I put my 3G sim card in iphone, I need to turn on "3G" and it can get 3G signal and works good. But if I turn off "3G", my phone can not get any 2G base station signal and appears "no service" finally. Therefore, I borrowed a 2G sim card to try it. It can get good signal but I can not make/receive calls with iphone. Does anyone has same situation with me? Thank you.

Professor Leanhardt's research focuses on tabletop experiments with quantum gases at the lowest achievable temperatures in the Universe, where particles lose their individuality and acquire wave-like properties. Ultracold gases have a broad range of applications, including atom interferometry, metrology, and quantum information science. Moreover, these gases form a quantum many-body system with tunable interactions that can emulate various condensed matter phenomena.
In addition to exploring these topics, Professor Leanhardt plans to use ultracold gases to probe fundamental questions of nature, such as the strength of gravity at short length scales and the possibility of symmetry violation in the form of permanent electric dipole moments. These low energy laboratory-based experiments test elementary particle theories (such as Supersymmetry) at the TeV energy scale and provide complementary data to high energy, collider-based experiments at Fermilab and CERN.

Knitspot Morning Glory Wrap
- Pattern Type
- All Knitted
- Shawls and Wraps
This rectangular wrap is begun at the hem and knitted toward the center back. Stole may be shortened to wrap length by working fewer repeats in the morning glories section but taking care to end on the same row as the knitting pattern instructs. Using smaller needles and finer yarn will also produce a smaller piece. Sample gained approximately 30% in length and width when blocked.
Suggested Yarns: Any DK yarn which has approximately 500 yards to 8 ounces.
Finished Size: blocked dimensions: 24" W x 78" L / 24" W x 90" L
Yarn Requirements: approximately 700 (850) yards of soft DK weight yarn
Gauge: 16 sts and 24 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch (preblocked; fabric will be loosely knit)
Needles: US9 (5.5mm); a needle with a slender, tapered point is highly recommended

Campaign Categories
Indigenous Peoples, environmental groups, and labor organizations in Panama are outraged over new laws that undermine human rights and erode environmental protections. When thousands of protesters took to the streets in early July, the police responded with unprecedented violence, killing at least two protesters, blinding dozens with lead birdshot, and injuring and arresting hundreds more. Indigenous leaders say more people were killed, but the government has not released complete information to human rights investigators.
To quiet the protests, government officials hurriedly set up a 90-day negotiation period, but they excluded many sectors of the population from the negotiating process (notably the Indigenous Peoples and environmental organizations). Ignored by their own government, these organizations are now asking global citizens and agencies to persuade Panama to comply with internationally recognized human rights and environmental standards.

Configuring Windows Azure Connection Strings
Updated: November 22, 2010
A connection string contains the parameters that are necessary to access your storage account in Windows Azure. You can configure a connection string in the following ways:
Connect to the Windows Azure storage emulator while you are locally testing your service or application.
Connect to a storage account in Windows Azure by using the default endpoints for the storage services.
Connect to a storage account in Windows Azure by using explicit endpoints for the storage services.
If you access the Windows Azure storage services from code within your service, you can specify one or more configuration settings that contain connection strings. The Application Development includes members for reading configuration setting values. If you specify a connection string within a configuration setting, you can easily modify it to point to a different storage account or to use different credentials, without redeploying your service.
Storing connection strings as configuration settings is a convenience, but you can choose to track them in another manner if you wish. If you are accessing the storage services from code that is not running in Windows Azure, then you might store connection strings in an app.config file or another configuration file.
|The Windows Azure Tools also provide a user interface for creating configuration settings that contain connection strings. These tools are available from the Properties pages for the web role and the worker role. For more information, see Configuring the Windows Azure Application with Visual Studio.
Connecting to the storage emulator
The storage emulator is a local account with a well-known name and key. Since the account name and key are the same for all users, you can use a shortcut string format to refer to the storage emulator within a connection string. Set the value of the connection string to
You can also specify an HTTP proxy to use when you're testing your service against the storage emulator. This can be useful for observing HTTP requests and responses while you're debugging operations against the storage services. To specify a proxy, add the
DevelopmentStorageProxyUri option to the connection string, and set its value to the proxy URI. For example, here is a connection string that points to the storage emulator and configures an HTTP proxy:
Connecting to a storage account in Windows Azure
You can define a connection string to a storage account in Windows Azure in one of the following ways:
Assume the default endpoints for the storage services. This is the simplest option for creating a connection string. When you use this connection string format, you need to specify only your account name and account key, and indicate whether to connect to your storage account through HTTP or HTTPS.
Specify explicit endpoints for the storage services. This option allows you to create a more complex connection string. When you use this string format, you can specify storage service endpoints that include a custom domain name, or minimize information exposure for a shared access signature-based connection string.
|The Windows Azure storage services support both HTTP and HTTPS; however, using HTTPS is highly recommended.
Creating a Connection String with default endpoints
To create a connection string that relies on the default endpoints for the storage service, use the following connection string format. Indicate whether you want to connect to the storage account through HTTP or HTTPS, replace
myAccountName with the name of your storage account, replace
myAccountKey with your account access key:
For example, your connection string should look similar to the following sample connection string:
You can locate your account access key by viewing the properties for your storage account in the Windows Azure Management Portal.
Creating a connection string with explicit endpoints
You may want to explicitly specify the service endpoints in your connection string for the following reasons:
You have registered a custom domain name for your storage account with the Blob service.
You want to grant access only to blob resources in a single container, through a shared access signature.
Specifying a blob endpoint with a custom domain name
If you have registered a custom domain name for use with the Blob service, you may want to explicitly configure the blob endpoint in your connection string. The endpoint value that is listed in the connection string is used to construct the request URIs to the Blob service, and it dictates the form of any URIs that are returned to your code.
To create a connection string that specifies explicit endpoints, specify the complete service endpoint for each service, including the protocol specification (HTTP or HTTPS) by using the following format:
When you explicitly specify service endpoints, you have two options for specifying credentials. You can specify the account name and key (AccountName=myAccountName;AccountKey=myAccountKey), as shown in the previous section, or you can specify a shared access signature, as shown in the Specifying a blob endpoint with a shared access signature section. If you are specifying the account name and key, the complete string format is:
You can specify endpoints for blob, table, and queue in a connection string. You must specify at least one endpoint, but you do not need to specify all three. For example, if you're creating a connection string for use with a custom blob endpoint, specifying the queue and table endpoints is optional. If you do not specify the queue and table endpoints, you cannot access the Queue and Table services from your code by using that connection string.
Specifying a blob endpoint with a shared access signature
You can create a connection string with explicit endpoints to permit your service to access blob resources in a single container. In this case, you can specify a shared access signature for the container as part of the connection string, rather than the account name and key credentials. The shared access signature encapsulates information about the container to be accessed, the period of time for which it is available, and the permissions being granted. It can be used to authenticate requests against that container. For more information about shared access signatures, see Delegating Access with a Shared Access Signature (REST API).
To create a connection string that includes a shared access signature, specify the string in the following format:
The blob endpoint can be the default Blob service endpoint or a custom endpoint. The
base64Signature corresponds to the signature portion of a shared access signature. The signature is an HMAC computed over a valid string-to-sign and key using the SHA256 algorithm, the result is then Base64-encoded.
Shared access signatures are valid only for Blob service resources (a specific container and the blobs it contains). A connection string that incorporates a shared access signature should not include endpoints for the Queue and Table services because these must be authenticated by using the account name and key. It is recommended that you create a separate connection string for queue and table resources.

|YOU CAN HELP US make sure that our distributional information is correct and current. If you know that a plant occurs in a wild, reproducing state in a Jepson bioregion NOT highlighted on the map, please contact us with that information. Please realize that we cannot incorporate range extensions without access to a voucher specimen, which should (ultimately) be deposited in an herbarium. You can send the pressed, dried collection (with complete locality information indicated) to us (e-mail us for details) or refer us to an accessioned herbarium specimen. Non-occurrence of a plant in an indicated area is difficult to document, but we will especially value your input on those types of possible errors (see automatic conversion of distribution data to maps).
