(The ten best dramas of 2012 were revealed on Hulu's homepage this week. Here's your winner. To view the rest of the list, click here.)
1 – Homeland
Let's be real: The first season of Homeland was an epic masterpiece.
After it ended for me, anxiety sunk in. This show that I became addicted to, that I finished watching in merely two days and had made me all sorts of Carrie Mathison-crazy, pretty much left me incredibly satisfied: The mystery behind Brody was the driving force of the series, and that had all pretty much unraveled by season's end.
Yet season two definitely brought it. While it may not have had the magic of the misdirection that made the first one so compelling, it certainly kept its badge as one of the best — and most addicting — shows on television. The creators were able to continually weave a story of unexpected depth and mystery beyond Brody — not an easy undertaking for a show that began with such an enigmatic and powerful storyline.
Set six months after the season one finale, the second season fleshed out Abu Nazir's plan, had Nick Brody (Damien Lewis) as a political powerhouse as well as Vice President Walden's choice for a running mate for his presidential run. Intriguing characters were introduced that we could only be suspicious of, such as Peter Quinn, a kind-of-obnoxious CIA black-ops agent elegantly played by Brit actor Rupert Friend. And recurring characters were fleshed out: Brody's daughter Dana snagged herself a main storyline that started out quite endearing; The blossoming Dana and Finn relationship peaked with a night time kiss inside the Washington Monument (oh, young love!) then crashed and burned with a fatal hit and run. Even worse, Dana was season-one-annoying once again.
Ironically, this show about terrorism is, essentially, a love story. The second season moved along the Carrie and Brody relationship. And you can say whatever you want: Is it unrealistic? Sure. But it's a TV show, and the undeniable chemistry between Carrie and Brody is earth-shattering hot: It's intense, sexy, heartbreaking, sweet. From the kiss in the clearing to the motel tryst, they know that feeling this way is wrong, but in those rare moments they can be alone, wrong is right. You want to root for these two crazy kids.
But of course, it's Claire Danes who absolutely runs this show. As a strong female protagonist, she's layered in ways rarely seen on TV. Carrie is reckless and self-destructive, yet she's passionate and perceptive. We've experienced her extreme lows (the night she tried to kill herself with wine and a dozen pills), extreme highs (her smile the moment she found out she was right about Brody), and her raw intensity that's sometimes difficult to watch, all in between.
In what was one of the best scenes of the season, Carrie has a drink with Brody at the hotel bar as part of a CIA surveillance of Brody. After, Quinn orders her to come back to the headquarters, but instead, she goes up to Brody's hotel room where she immediately blows her cover and tells him that she knows everything. As Saul and Quinn listen in and as federal agents arrest him, Carrie also reveals that she loved him. Although you'd cringe if this were anyone else, you don't want to do that when it comes to Carrie. Her reckless honesty breaks us, right in the heart.
Maybe season two wasn't perfect, but Homeland has continued to hook us in with complex characters with shades of grey. Sure, the show still surprises us with incredibly smart and unexpected plot twists and cliffhangers, but what it really excels in is illustrating Carrie and Brody's journey together toward goodness, and hopefully, some kind of happiness.—Sheila Dichoso

What happened to speculation in architecture?
At a recent symposium at the Yale School of Architecture titled "Aesthetic Activism," Dean of the Syracuse School of Architecture Michael Speaks noted that curiously, architecture has lost its penchant for speculation in recent years. He cited the two most recent Venice Biennales as evidence of this trend, as the curators chose to look at the elements of building (Rem Koolhaas's Elements, 2014) and reporting on reality in regions beyond what the Biennale had traditionally addressed ( Alejandro Aravena 's Reporting from the Front, 2016). He also discussed the Chicago Biennial in 2015, which arguably focused on practice, rather than architecture.
What happened to architecture's ability to speculate on the world around us, as was the ordinary in the 20th century, from Le Corbusier and the modernists to Archigram and the radical architects of the 1960s and 1970s?
Dodger Dome. Proposed in 1955 by Norman Bel Geddes and Buckminster Fuller. This project, and all but one of the projects below, can be found at , which opens September 17 at the Queens Museum.(Metropolis Books)
In the latest issue of The Architect's Newspaper (AN) , we set out to survey the state of architectural speculation today. AN Contributing Editor Sam Lubell will be opening the exhibition Never Built New York , which features proposals that were never realized. You could say that looking at the history of unbuilt architecture is speculation. So we set out to find what might be in the Never Built exhibition of 2050. What is speculation today?
Ellis Island, or as Frank Lloyd Wright wanted it to be in 1959: "City of the Future." (Metropolis Books)
We found that in architecture, most speculation is more like plausible futures. It is being developed by private industry in some cases, well within the realm of possibility. Many think that self-driving cars are a revolutionary technology, and are a matter of "when," not "if." But why have so few architects gotten out in front of this technology looking for opportunities to change the city? Solar technologies, like those being developed at Tesla, would also have the potential to radically change how we build.
The classification system has three major subheadings of groin pain in athletes.
Classification system
Defined clinical entities for groin pain: Adductor-related, iliopsoas-related, inguinal-related and pubic-related groin pain
Hip–related groin pain
Other causes of groin pain in athletes
The majority of the day was spent discussing and defining these four entities. The term entity was chosen to reflect the recognisable pattern of symptoms and signs exhibited by the athlete.
In the history, in all cases the athlete should report pain in the affected region that worsens on exercise.
Palpation, resistance testing and stretching of affected muscle groups are used to categorise athletes into these entities. The pain reported by the athlete on resistance testing should also be felt in the affected structure. For example, in adductor-related groin pain, the pain on resisted adduction testing should reproduce the athlete's recognisable pain in the adductors. Pain felt in a different location—for example, the inguinal region on resisted adduction testing—would not signify adductor-related groin pain.
The exact technique of physical examination was not discussed during the meeting. Such detail went beyond the scope of the one-day meeting to achieve this level of detail. The intraobserver and interobserver reliability of several elements of the physical examination has been explored previously and found to be acceptable for use in practice. 16 An athlete can have more than one entity, in which case multiple entities can be diagnosed.
Defined clinical entities for groin pain
Adductor-related groin pain
Adductor tenderness AND pain on resisted adduction testing.
Iliopsoas-related groin pain
Iliopsoas tenderness
The group agreed that iliopsoas-related groin pain is more likely if there is pain on resisted hip flexion AND/OR pain on stretching the hip flexors.
Inguinal-related groin pain
Pain location in the inguinal canal region AND tenderness of the inguinal canal. No palpable inguinal hernia is present.
The group agreed that inguinal-related groin pain is more likely if the pain is aggravated with resistance testing of the abdominal muscles OR on Valsalva/cough/sneeze.
Pubic-related groin pain
Local tenderness of the pubic symphysis and the immediately adjacent bone.
The group felt that there was no particular resistance test that specifically provoked symptoms related to pubic-related groin pain that could be used in conjunction with palpation.
The location of the four entities above is shown in

Defined clinical entities for groin pain. : Adductor tenderness AND pain on resisted adduction testing. : Iliopsoas tenderness+more likely if pain on resisted hip flexion AND/OR pain on hip flexor stretching. : Pain in inguinal canal region AND tenderness of the inguinal canal.

No particular resistance tests to test specifically for pubic-related groin pain.
There was agreement that pain from the hip joint should always be considered as a possible cause of groin pain.

VILLAVICENCIA, Colombia, April 2 (UPI) -- A Colombian rebel group operating since the 1940s Monday freed 10 government officials held hostage for more than 12 years, the International Red Cross said.
Red Cross Representative Jordi Raich confirmed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia turned over to the care of the humanitarian agency four soldiers and six police officers in a preset protocol agreed to by both parties, Colombia Reports said.
Family members were waiting to meet the men in the city of Villavicencia, near the release point.
"We are happy to announce the success of this operation in only one day that has allowed the reuniting of the ten hostages with their families after so many years," Raich said. "Today the agony has stopped for these families and that gives us great satisfaction."
The Wall Street Journal said no more government officials remain in the hands of the rebels but hundreds of civilians are being held.
FARC began in 1948 as a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla agrarian movement similar to what Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were instituting in Cuba and trying in Bolivia. FARC allegedly financed the insurgency by selling cocaine but Colombian President Manuel Santos has demanded FARC halt its drug-dealing and kidnapping before talks with the government can begin, the Journal said.
FARC said in February it would stop its decades-old practice of kidnapping civilians for ransom.
"There is a clear interest from the FARC and the government to move toward peace talks," said Leon Valencia, a former member of another guerrilla group.

Gameplay and the team you have assembled look impressive. I do hope you make your goal as my boys would love to play this game. The in air slo-mo makes for a nice effect. And it appears your control interface is one that should make game play pretty slick. Again - good luck with Kickstarter.

And so, when her sixth-seeded Pointers entered the fourth quarter of their title match down 24-22 against fifth-seed Hoover at Jenny Craig Pavilion on the USD campus, the 6' 0" junior took charge.
Over the final eight minutes, Maclean scored 15 of her game-high 22 points, including a stunning 8 of 8 from the free throw line, part of a 15-4 Pointer scoring run that propelled them to a 43-36 come-from-behind win over a tough Cardinal squad for the Div. IV title.
"We want to stifle a team offensively by the end of a game," said Pointers head coach Dave Aros. "Today, these girls believed that if they were within a couple points, they would make the defensive stops and make their free throws."
"We're a family," Maclean said as the celebration continued in the arena foyer. "We know there are going to be downs in any sport, but we're a great team and can get through anything."
Maclean praised Aros, who was an assistant to legendary Lee Trepanier, the last coach to hang a CIF title banner in the Pointer gym that now bears his name.
"Coach Aros is marvelous," Maclean said. "During timeouts, it's all about defense. We hang our hats on our defense."
"At this point of the season, our girls are comfortable with what we do," Aros said, smiling as he watched his players buying souvenir T-shirts after the game.
The game was, by no means, an easy one for the Pointers, who were down
10-4 after the first quarter. The Cardinal's half-court press rattled them and led to early steals and turnovers.
By halftime, the Pointers had cut the lead to 17-14, with a nice three-point play by versatile senior Makenna Sanders helping the surge.
Aros stressed defensive pressure during intermission, and his girls, who began dominating rebounds under the Cardinal basket, actually took a brief lead before Hoover went back on top.
During their big final quarter, the Pointers forced six Cardinal turnovers, converting many of these into points, and when Maclean launched an early bomb from three-point range, the Pointers took a 25-24 lead they never relinquished.
As the final seconds ticked off the arena scoreboard, the legion of Pointer parents and students erupted in a raucous celebration signaling the end of a 23-year wait.
Game scoring included seniors Ilish Gedestad (3 points), Sanders (7) and Angelica Perez (4) along with sophomore Hiwalani Sierra (7). Gedestad led all players with nine rebounds.
"The students (known as the 'Dog Pound') were crazy! I'm so happy they came out," Maclean said.
To reach the finals, the Lady Pointers defeated San Ysidro 48-28 at home, Vincent Memorial 48-41 in Calexico and Ocean View Christian 33-28 in South San Diego.
"They just believed," Aros repeated, nodding his head.
Yes they did.
• Maclean attributed her team's slow start to "the big gym, the publicity, knowing you are on television."
• Under CIF scheduling, the game was played at 11 a.m. on a Friday. Pointer students who brought parental permission slips were allowed to leave campus to support their team.
• The Pointers lost to the same Hoover team 47-28 Dec. 28 in the Crawford Holiday Tournament.
• For the year, the Pointers finished with an 18-8 overall record and an 11-2 mark for second place behind Kearny in the Central League.
With this year's record, the Lady Pointers may jump to Div. III next season in the new CIF playoff system determined by a school's record over the last five years instead of student enrollment.

Thumbs up on handwriting in NH schoolsBy MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News
January 19. 2013 11:25PM
KEENE - Bethany Maynard leans over her kitchen table to spy the work of her 6-year-old twins, Oriah and Claire Holmes. Oriah screws up her face as she listens intently to her mom's instructions. Maynard tells her about capitalizing the first letter of each word and how to make the round parts of the lower letters.
Claire sticks out her tongue sideways and sets to work, with Oriah quickly following suit.
"I think handwriting is important," Maynard said. "Although it likely is not always going to be."
Across the modern world, people are using their thumbs to tap out text on mobile devices, seemingly making the art of handwriting superfluous. But Maynard, a teacher at Monadnock Regional High School, said she wants her children, including toddler Phoebe, to learn the print and cursive version of handwriting while recognizing that someday the tight curls and swirls of cursive may go the way of the dodo.
"Even though the majority of the papers that I collect from my students are done by a keyboard," she said. "I still do write on the board in class, for example. So it's still important that they know how to read it."
And as the little-known National Handwriting Day approaches - this Wednesday - it might be worth noting that the Common Core Curriculum has a technology component but no mandatory handwriting component.
"The Common Core tells you what the students need, but not what to teach or how to teach it," said Patricia Ewen, early childhood consultant for the New Hampshire Department of Education. "It doesn't require you to teach cursive, but if you do teach cursive, it doesn't tell you when. But it does say that your students need to be able to write."
In fact, Ewen said, before the Common Core Curriculum existed, there was a handwriting curriculum, but districts were allowed to decide for themselves how much emphasis to place on handwriting. For many districts, she said, the lessons are wrapped into language arts classes. She said first- and second-graders are still taught to print, and for the most part, third-graders are still taught cursive.
"Where 50 years ago we talked about the progressions of print and then we went to the progressions of cursive writing," Ewen said, "... now we just talk about it in the context of letter formation, so that's a little bit of an evolution."
Part of that shift, she said, has to do with the changes in the definition of "literacy,'' which includes reading, writing, listening, speaking and viewing, the latter to accommodate technological updates.
"It's not a separate content area," Ewen said. "For instance, science is a content area, and there are expectations, but there isn't a separate content area for chemistry, physics, biology; they're all within the same category of science, so same goes with handwriting."
And whereas students 50 years ago would spend 30 minutes just working on handwriting and penmanship - a source of pride for some students - in SAU 29, for example, teachers spend about 15 minutes a day teaching handwriting.
"It's definitely losing it's place in terms of a mandatory experience," said Wayne Woolridge, superintendent of SAU 29, which includes Chesterfield, Harrisville, Keene, Marlborough, Marlow, Nelson and Westmoreland.
"But we certainly see the motor-skill value to it, and you know most people still make a grocery list. I mean there are still opportunities for people to use handwriting, so we don't think of handwriting as going the way of the dinosaur. We think of handwriting as something that will be around, but it definitely has lost it's place as a mandatory thing that students have to master by the end of third grade."
The importance of handwriting instruction is being debated nationally. Ewen said there is some talk about getting rid of cursive in other districts, although it's just talk at this point. About three years ago, the Bedford School District set up a committee to look at doing away with the cursive curriculum altogether, but ultimately decided against it, said Chip McGee, assistant superintendent of curriculum and assessment for the district.
The main reason for keeping handwriting, he said, was that creating letters on a page does a lot to solidify students' reading skills by forcing letter-sound correspondence.
Ewen said there are valid points on both sides of the debate. For one thing, teaching cursive is time consuming; on the flip side, learning cursive helps a person pick up speed in writing.
"We do have schools in our state where kids are not learning cursive, and they get to the middle school and the teacher is writing on the chalkboard or the smart board and the students can't read it," Ewen said.
Other factors play a part in the debate. On some level, it's tradition, and people aren't always good with change. Further, knowing how to read cursive allows people to be able to translate historical texts, usually written in cursive.
And then there's just practicality, said Ewen.
"There are times when the electronic tool is costly, there are times when the electronic tool is out of power, and there are times when it is simply less efficient."

Community forums have proven themselves an effective way to foster good customer relations and cultivate new business, which has put a lot of companies under pressure to utilize social media to reach their customers. While some companies accomplish this by simply establishing a Facebook business page and Twitter account, often that is not enough. Every social media vehicle has a specific purpose and target market, whether it's aimed at fry cooks or PhDs. While Facebook offers a forum for discussing any and all topics, there are many people who dismiss it as a purely social tool. By establishing a community forum, businesses can reach these people. Plus, the forum allows customers to discuss the company's products and services openly in a place where the company can benefit from their insights.

Onegai Twins
one of my favorites (especially since its got Mizuho).
I know all through ep 12 are out,...
how did others feel about the series?
Did you feel a little bit of a let-down when it didnt focus enough on Mizuho & Kei-kun?
Did you want the sister to be Karen or Mina (I'm happy with that outcome)?
Where should it go from here for ep 13?

I thought the first couple episodes were pretty good, but after about the 1000th time I heard "We may be related, we may not" I decided I had enough =/ The whole gay guy arc was decent, but the story on the whole left me wishing for those minutes of my life back. Music was good tho =)

When I began to watch this series I really enjoyed it. I was literally hooked on it, checking back everyday to see if another episode had come out. As the series went on the inital enjoyment waned a bit, but it was still very interesting. I liked the flow of the story and enjoyed the little subplots involving the other characters love interests.
In regards to Mizuho and Kei, I wasn't all that disappointed to find out it didn't focus on them. It was nice they had cameos in this series (since I wasn't expecting to see them at all) but if you notice Kei never speaks a word. Did the seiyuu who did his voice in Onegai Teacher not come back to do it again? Who knows...
I'm perfectly fine with the outcome, I can't really think of another way it could be done **Spoiler (highlight to read) since Karen really does seem like more of a younger sister even from the start.** With the end of the 12th episode I was happy but I wanted to see a bit more.
Now I'm not sure but I thought it ended at the 12th ep. If they did in fact make another ep it would be nice to see what a day in the life is for them now that they all know. I figure it would be interesting since all you saw were little snip-its of their day while the ending credits rolled.
You know it didn't even bother me when they started out every episode with "We may be related, we may not" since a lot of the anime I watch normally has a lot of recurring openings
i.e. Berserk, Green Green

Honestly, I was wishing that either that they'd find out that nobody's related.
(and hence they both pursue Maiku... and since they don't have to tell anyone, they can both stay in the house...
then again... I don't want to have anymore harem type animes...)
Or, that they realize that they're triplets... which would be sad for everyone... but I'm sure they can somehow work it out.
But the ending... ARGH... I want the hours of my life back...

Onegai Twins was a great series... In my opinion i liked Onegai Twins better than Onegai Teacher in many ways.....
anyways im sad to see Onegai Twins end off and that episode 13will be coming out in like 5 months will be a bummer to wait for.... In episode 13 I hope they find out more about their parents and about themselves and also to show how the relationship between the girls and Maiku are like.... maybe it will kinda be like the OVA for Onegai Teacher .... I do feel that a lot of questions are still there and they can do so much with the 13th episode... They could even make more episodes in order to patch in the holes that didnt even get answered
anyways I hope they make a 3rd installment of the Onegai Series because i feel as if the Onegai Series thing is done very well and I wonder what kind of crazy idea they will come up next

I enjoyed the series, but I like Onegai Teacher better.
**SPOILERS BELOW....sorry....I have to ask some questions**
I liked the outcome, because honestly, I was expecting them to do something like make them al three be related or not, so it was actually a surprise. I also like how they did not focus on the the relationship developed in the first series, but rather, use it as a backdrop (little disappointed that Kei's seiyuu would not even appear for a single line though....whatever that's about).
However, I'm still a little confused about some things. I'm pretty slow at these things, so don't flame me for it (I'd appreciate it if you could give me an answer or point me to a specific place in the series that explans it).
At the very end, Maiku explains that Mina was lying down in the picture, does this mean they were childhood friends? Also, if they're not related, why does Mina have the same eyes as Maiku (I'm willing to believe it's pure coincidence)?
I'm sorry if these seem like stupid questions, but they sorta bug me. Thanks for helping me.

I thought that they were triplets, since all the three has the same eyecolor. Well... my big doubt is: how on earth does Miina has the same eyes, if she is not related to them? If you say it's a coincidense, I think that it is too much of a coincidense, don't you think?

BEIRUT (AP) — A high-ranking general in the Syrian army defected on Saturday with the help of rebels and said morale is low among those still fighting for President Bashar Assad as the civil war enters its third year.
Maj. Gen. Mohammed Ezz al-Din Khalouf told Al-Arabiya TV that many of those still with Assad's regime have lost faith in it.
"It not an issue of belief or practicing one's role," he said. "It's for appearance's sake, to present an image to the international community from the regime that it pulls together all parts of Syrian society under this regime."
Activist videos posted online Saturday showed Khalouf sitting with a rebel fighter after his defection and riding in a car to what the video said was the Jordanian border.
The video said he was Chief of Staff for the army branch that deals with supplies and fuel.
While widespread defections from the Syrian army have sapped it of much of its manpower during the two-year-old anti-Assad uprising, high-level defections have been rare.
The Syrian government did not comment on the defection.
Still, cracks continue to spread slowly through Assad's regime as rebel forces slowly expand their areas of control in the country and put increasing pressure on the capital, Damascus.
Also Saturday, Human Rights Watch said Syria's government is expanding its use of widely banned cluster bombs.
The New York-based rights group said Syrian forces have dropped at least 156 cluster bombs in 119 locations across the country in the past six months, causing mounting civilian casualties. The report said two strikes in the past two weeks killed 11 civilians, including two women and five children.
The regime denied using cluster bombs, which open in flight, scattering smaller bomblets and have been banned in many countries. They pose a threat to civilians long afterward since many don't explode immediately.
Human Rights Watch said it based its findings on field investigations and analysis of more than 450 amateur videos.
A senior Syrian government official on Saturday rejected the report, saying many amateur videos were suspect. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to make official statements to the media.
The fighting in Syria has killed some 70,000 people and displaced 4 million of the country's 22 million people, according to U.N. estimates.
The conflict remains deadlocked, despite recent military gains by the rebels.
In new violence, rebels detonated a powerful car bomb with more than two tons of explosives outside a high-rise building in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour, setting off clashes with regime troops, state TV and activists said.
On Saturday, rebels in Deir el-Zour detonated a car rigged with more than two tons of explosives next to the tallest building in the city, known as the Insurance Building, state TV said.
State TV says rebels entered the building after the blast but were pushed out by government forces. No casualties were reported in the blast, but the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four fighters were killed in subsequent clashes with regime troops.
Regime forces also shelled several areas of the city, the activist group said.
In an amateur video said to be showing Deir el-Zour, heavy gunfire was heard in the background and a cloud of smoke was visible.
The blast came a day after Syrians marked the second anniversary of the start of their uprising against President Bashar Assad. The rebellion began with largely peaceful protests, but when the regime cracked down on demonstrators, the unrest evolved into an insurgency and then a civil war.
In recent months, the Assad regime has escalated airstrikes and artillery attacks on rebel-held areas in the north and east of the country, rights groups have said.
The Observatory also said at least 12 rebel fighters were killed in clashes near a cement factory in the northern city of Aleppo, and five people were killed when a shell exploded in the Damascus neighbourhood of Qaboun.
Also Saturday, the head of Syria's leading opposition group issued an anniversary message to Syrians, saying that the uprising has "has taken a long time."
The opposition recognises March 15, 2011 as the start of the uprising.
In a video posted on his Facebook page, Mouaz al-Khatib, head of the Syrian Opposition Coalition, congratulated the town of Yabrud, north of Damascus, for creating a civil council to run its affairs.
"Our people are great, our people are civilized and they don't need gangs to rule them," al-Khatib said, sitting in front of a Syrian flag and cracking a rare smile. "They just need to breathe a little bit of the air of freedom and they'll create as they have created in all places."

Ken Pomeroy author archives.
April 2, 2012
by John Gasaway and Ken Pomeroy
It's the game so big one Gasaway or one Pomeroy alone can't preview it. For Kansas-Kentucky, you need Gasaway-Pomeroy.
April 4, 2011
This game's so big it can't be previewed by just one Prospectus human. Instead John and Ken got together for their annual chat in advance of the national championship game.
March 23, 2011
by Ken Pomeroy
Ohio State is the favorite -- in Newark and in the entire Sweet 16. Then again Kentucky's a tough No. 4 seed, North Carolina is no slouch, and Marquette's coach describes his team very well.
As the only single-digit seed in San Antonio, Kansas is supposed to have an easy path to the Final Four. Then again there's a one-in-three chance KU doesn't get to Houston and that Florida State, Richmond, or VCU will be there instead.
March 16, 2011
The Blue Devils, Texas, and San Diego State headline a top-heavy bracket in the West, as Coach K's team defends its title -- possibly with Kyrie Irving in the lineup.
March 9, 2011
You may have heard that BYU and San Diego State dominate the MWC, but there's another team in the league that's pretty good. Plus they're hosting the conference tournament.
April 5, 2010
John and Ken talk about just how surprising Butler's presence here really is, what Brian Zoubek means to Duke's chances (no, seriously), what Brad Stevens might learn from West Virginia's otherwise lopsided loss, and how smug Ken's computer will be if the Blue Devils win.
March 30, 2010
You'll hear a lot about West Virginia and Duke this week and, frankly, some of what you hear will be wrong. Ken offers two preemptive corrections for the conventional wisdom regarding these two very good teams.
March 29, 2010
Just because Michigan State and Butler are surprises in Indy doesn't mean they don't have a relatively good chance to win it all. Still, be sure to tune in for West Virginia-Duke, which will feature what may be the two strongest teams to have shared the same court in 2009-10.
March 24, 2010
The Midwest was supposed to be the "Bracket of Death," and so it was--for Kansas, Georgetown, and Maryland. The bracket now matches Ohio State against Tennessee, while in the Midwest's other semifinal Michigan State will face Northern Iowa.
March 23, 2010
Fresh off their dismantling of Gonzaga, the Orangemen head to Salt Lake City to meet Butler, while Kansas State faces Xavier in the other West semifinal. Can Jim Boeheim's team continue piling up the makes and points all the way to Indianapolis?
March 22, 2010
After a wild, thrilling, and sometimes stunning weekend of hoops, Ken says the probabilities now show a clear separation between the top four teams and the rest of the field. Not that those four "favorites" can rest easy, of course.
March 16, 2010
The Blue Devils' allegedly soft bracket has been the topic of much discussion and even some conspiracy theories. It may not be the Midwest, but a closer look reveals that Mike Krzyzewski and his team aren't in Indy just yet.
March 9, 2010
Ken wraps up the tournament previews for one-bid leagues with a look at the Big West, Great West, MEAC, Southland and SWAC.
March 8, 2010
Ken kicks off our Championship Week with a look at the second ever 16-team Big East tournament. Syracuse is the favorite, but Villanova and West Virginia should definitely keep things interesting. Oh, and did we mention Notre Dame's suddenly playing defense?
The A-10, CUSA, Mountain West, and WAC are all nourishing at-large aspirations this March. In his latest Championship Week preview, Ken assesses the likely winners and losers in these four league tournaments.
March 2, 2010
In day two of his log5 projections, Ken looks at four conference tournaments that could have serious bubble repercussions: The CAA, Horizon, Missouri Valley, and WCC.
March 1, 2010
If the calendar says March, it must be time for Ken Pomeroy's log5 projections for the nation's conference tournaments. Our first batch includes the America East, A-Sun, Big Sky, Big South, MAAC, Northeast, OVC, Patriot, Summit, and Sun Belt. Enjoy.
January 26, 2010
Kentucky Week continues with a spirited debate between Ken and his own rating system, which currently pegs UK as the ninth-best team in the country. So how good are the Cats, really? Pull up a chair as Ken and his hard drive hash out their differences.
January 13, 2010
Five years of play-by-play data yields one inescapable conclusion on college hoops: Offenses are being way too conservative in the opening minutes of the game.

Reunion shows aren't quite the mystical occasion they once were. From the Pixies to Suede to Led Zeppelin to Pulp, long-missed musical heroes are now a staple head to the line-up of summer festivals. The Stone Roses reunion, however, sits outside the realms of regular reunion shows . Following an acrimonious split, it's been 16 years since the original line-up …
Celeb Style: Jay-Z does Geek Chic 2 Months After Matt Damon
Last Friday, Jay-Z turned up on Jonathan Ross and as the guestlist was revealed, I was delighted to see good ol' Jay-Z rocking the Geek-Chic look. But sadly for Mr. Z (can we call him that?) Matt Damon had tried the look over two months before. Usually an all-round innovator and owner of his own label, I have come to expect more of this man with those infamous 99 problems.
Celeb Style- TGI Friday Fashion with Ashton Kutcher, Russell Brand and Gok Wan
Being boring, tired and suffering from a slight addiction to Russell Brand meant that I spent most of last night in front of the TV watching a double whammy of my favourite shows. Yes, for those who missed it, last night saw The Friday Night Project (with Gok Wan) and Jonathan Ross (with Russell Brand and Ashton Kutcher) provide an excuse for home imprisonment across the UK.

Notre Dame forward Scott Martin out for season with ACL tear
Notre Dame's fortunes for the 2009-10 basketball season just took a nosedive before the first official practice drill of the year.
Scott Martin, a potentially high-scoring transfer from Purdue, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Thursday and will miss the entire season, according to a release from the school.
Martin had an MRI on Friday morning that revealed the extent of the damage. After sitting out a year under transfer rules, the 6-foot-8-inch Martin was likely to start and offer consistent scoring from the wing to complement star forward Luke Harangody in the post.
"I am very disappointed for Scott," Irish coach Mike Brey said in a statement. "He had worked so hard last season in practices and in the weight room improving his overall strength and getting himself ready to be a big part of our lineup this season.
"Scott Martin is going to be a very good player here at Notre Dame -- it's now just going to be a little bit longer wait before we can get him on the court."
Martin played in 32 games for Purdue in 2007-08 and averaged 8.5 points and 3.8 rebounds.

UF coach Will Muschamp stuck with his plan during the offseason and the Gators responded this season, going 11-1.
NEW ORLEANS — There were those moments. Every coach has them, especially when things are going the wrong way. Will Muschamp knew his first team at Florida had problems, but it didn't make the six losses any easier to stomach.
His lofty expectations for the 2011 season (play in the SEC Championship Game) were tempered by a realistic look at his roster. He knew some good things had to happen for that team to be successful.
They didn't.
"I knew where we were and we needed some fortunate things to happen," he said. "I may be emotional on the sidelines, but I try to be pretty analytical the rest of the week. So I knew where we were."
Nobody thought they were 6-6 bad. Sure, there were some holes. There was a lack of depth on both lines of scrimmage. But 6-6 at Florida?
That's why they were moments, those points where a coach struggles to accept what is happening.
"To know what it takes to be successful and not be able to do it is frustrating," Muschamp said. "Probably the FSU game was (the low point). There were a bunch of them. I felt like we gave away the Auburn game. Our inability to run the ball …
"But I knew if these guys could use the setbacks in a positive way, if they could use them as learning blocks we'd be OK. I've seen it go the other way."
There was a lot of noise in the system a year ago. Even when he was hired, the Gator Nation arched an eyebrow and wondered if UF Athletic Director Jeremy Foley knew what he was doing.
After all, the last time he tried to replace a national-championship winning coach with a defensive coordinator with no head coaching experience it hadn't ended well.
The Ron Zook comparisons were obvious. But Zook never lost six games.
"I guess I heard it early on," Muschamp told me. "But when the season goes on I have blinders on. You hear that noise before the season. But once the season starts, you don't hear anything. I learned that my first year as the defensive coordinator at LSU. Don't worry about what you can't control."
That first season was a tough one. Not only were there losses on the field, there were losses in personnel as Muschamp weeded through the players to find out which ones were going to buy in. It left Florida with numbers, as he said, like an NFL team.
Then two things happened. Neither had a big affect on this year's team, but it did change the perception of Will Muschamp. First, Urban Meyer took the Ohio State job. Whether it is fair or not, the perception shifted on the personnel left behind for Muschamp. And then, his Florida team won the Gator Bowl.
To go 7-6 is light years ahead of 6-7. Muschamp doesn't believe in momentum jumping from one year to the next, but he got something out of his team during Gator Bowl practices that would help them in 2012.
They started to toughen up. And he saw more of it during the spring. He felt more comfortable with his refurbished coaching staff. He felt more comfortable with his players. He was even comfortable with a schedule that was punitive.
"I saw us having a good football team this year," he said.
And it was. It was frustrating at times and hard to explain at others. But it won 11 games. And on Thursday, it arrived in New Orleans to play in a BCS bowl game.
Muschamp has to feel vindication and satisfaction. He told you this would work and it did.
"I don't feel anything for myself," he said. "I'm happy for the fans and for the coaches and the players. That's where having a staff that believes in what you believe in pays off. It's guys like Jeremy Foley who saw what was happening when times were tough.
"I have strong convictions about the way to do things. And it's funny because (UF defensive coordinator) Dan Quinn came up to me after the season and said he understood now how important it is to stay the course. Don't waver from the course. Stay with your core values."
It wasn't easy during 2011. It paid off in 2012.
The chirping turned into cheering. The grousing to growling. The team that couldn't beat anybody any good last year beat a lot of teams who were really good this year. After a season of erasing DVR tapings as soon as you got home, this was a year of rewind and play.
"It's a lonely chair," Muschamp said. "I have 90,000 assistant coaches in The Swamp on Saturdays who want to give me great advice. But it's Sunday through Friday in the office with this coaching staff and a bunch of guys who understand me and what I want to do.
"Those are the guys I lean on."

On April 5, 2010 I got a notification that member soubrette1988, also known as Karrah, saw me in her Daily 5 and apparently my profile caught her attention. I went to her profile to see more information about her and I thought Karrah was really cute and was in the music business as an opera singer just like I am as a concert pianist, so I knew I had to send her a message. She got back to me within a day and we already were talking about our musical inspirations. Little did we know, we at some point went to the same music school at Roosevelt University. As a matter of fact, we had more conversations with each other about classes and then actually shared a class together in 2009. We didn't have any interaction with each other or know each other at any point during our time there at the Chicago College of the Performing Arts.
After some of our great discussions, we decided to go out on our first date only a week after the initial communications. We both have an affinity for great microbrews, so it was actually Karrah's idea to go to a restaurant called Small Bar, located in Wicker Park in Chicago. I get there and we pretty much hit it off right away. We had amazing food and Karrah introduced me to some great microbrews. Since Karrah introduced me to a new place, I thought it would be nice if I took her to my neighborhood to go dancing at one of my favorite bars called Red Ivy. It was an incredible night overall and very exciting. After I gave her a ride home that night, I knew from that moment we were going to keep dating.
After only a month of dating, she already met my immediate family members, and they loved her right away. I was giving a piano performance in the historic Fine Arts Building in Chicago and that's where she met them and also heard me play piano for the very first time. After that moment, we realized we could do many performances together as a team. A month later, we would perform together at the SGI USA Cultural Center of Chicago to a rousing standing ovation. For both of us, that performance was the most memorable one for our musical careers together to date. Soon after that, we were invited to perform together in Laguna Beach, California and Dana Point, California for a big audience. We capped it off in November 2010 by traveling to California and competing in the Franz Liszt International Competition and winning Honorable Mention awards.
Before traveling to her hometown for thanksgiving in Minnesota, I knew this was the girl I wanted to marry. She's perfect for me, I kept saying to myself. I purchased the engagement ring and knew that I was going to propose, but I didn't know exactly how. I did the honorable thing by pulling her father aside to tell him that I wanted to marry his daughter and I would receive her parents blessing, which was great since they helped me orchestrate the proposal. After having an additional thanksgiving dinner at her grandparents' home, in which I was too nervous to eat anything, Karrah's parents told everyone to go into the living room because they wanted to hear me play the piano. I stood in front of the piano and instead of sitting down to play, I walk over to Karrah while she was sitting on the couch and proposed to her right there. She said Yes! After trying to catch her breath. I had her cousin capture the entire moment on video.
We will be getting married on October 1, 2011 and having a nice fall wedding at St. Peter's Catholic Church located in Mendota, MN. Our reception will be held afterwards at the Prom Center in Oakdale, MN. For now, we enjoy making YouTube videos of ourselves playing and singing music and had many performances, including at University of Chicago and are invited to perform throughout California.

Why Sprint Should Be Giving Away The Palm Pre For Free
from the just-get-that-sucker-out-there dept
Palm doesn't quite have that.
If the problem was that the SDK wasn't ready, Sprint and Palm should have waited. Launching before the phone was really ready was a mistake, and the company may be paying for it with rather weak sales after an initial burst. However, one analyst has a suggestion that I think makes a lot of sense, saying that Sprint should drop the price of the Palm Pre to $0.99. Basically, let Sprint subsidize more of the phone -- which it would easily make back in service fees (since the phone requires a two year contract with its most expensive data plan). Pricing the phone at $199 makes it a direct comparison to the iPhone, and that's the last thing that Palm or Sprint should want. But dropping the price to $1 (or, hell, give the damn phone away for free with a two year plan), would get it a lot of attention, and give people a real reason to switch away from other carriers or other phones, and give the Pre a shot. Trying to compete with the iPhone by just saying "but we're better" doesn't work. Rather than spending tons of money on creepy TV commercials that make no sense, why not use that ad budget to subsidize the phone in a way that really builds up a lot of attention and serious buyers? If Sprint did that, I'd go sign up for a Palm Pre that very day.

This year's INTERPHEX show, held April 24–26 at the Javits Center in New York, provided an opportunity to see new packaging materials, containers, and machines firsthand. In addition to the usual wide range of anticounterfeiting and quality-control solutions, this year's show emphasized barrier packaging and child resistance. On the machinery side, the theme was line efficiency.
Counterfeit prevention
At least one label converter can incorporate ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) or high-frequency (HF) RFID inlays in multipanel labels to support product security, inventory control, and track-and-trace functions ("InfoPac label," Tursso Companies, St. Paul, MN).
RFID tags also can be built into injection-molded high-density polyethylene containers, providing visibility to bright or unlabeled stock and eliminating the need to encode and apply fragile smart labels. Embedded tags are tamper-evident and tamper-resistant and rely on a difficult-to-duplicate manufacturing process. Positioning in the base of the container eliminates tag-to-tag contact and ensures consistent orientation. Tag-equipped containers can be supplied encoded or be encoded on-line during the filling process. Pretesting ensures the UHF or HF tag inside the container is viable at a Six Sigma quality level.

Sissi Rivera
Hometown: Yonkers, N.Y.
Major: Marketing
WCSU Degree: Bachelor of Business Administration, Marketing
Internships: Job shadowed with Bill Imada, IW Group, and visited several Interpublic Group Companies in Los Angeles. Currently interning with Monika Nagarsheth for CT Kitchen and Bath
Activities: Co-president of the Marketing Club, vice president of Delta Gamma Phi Sorority, treasurer of Greek Council, senator for Student Government Association, worked as an Orientation Leader for two consecutive summers and work part time at the Robert S. Young Library
Honors and Awards: Received Best Revitalized Chapter, Honorable mention, for efforts in Marketing Week; Bronze for Best Collegiate Chapter for 2010-2011 from the American Marketing Association for the efforts and participation in the WestConn AMA Chapter
New Yorker Sissi Rivera attended Bay State College in Boston, Mass., from 2005-07, and graduated with an Associate Degree in Applied Science in Fashion Merchandising. She then attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for a semester before transferring to WCSU in 2009. "I decided to come to WestConn because I didn't feel connected at F.I.T.," she says. "It's a large college in the big city and it was hard to connect when I felt like just a number in a classroom. I liked the small classrooms, the ability to get to know the professors and the community aspect Western provided. I wanted the full college experience after attending first a small private college and then a large one. WestConn was the perfect medium and I had gotten outstanding recommendations about the business program."
She believes her move from fashion to business makes perfect sense. "When studying merchandising, I always enjoyed the marketing classes I took," Rivera says. "There was so much more depth to the major and more opportunities. I loved how it involves so many aspects of so many different majors. Its not about just creating ads — it involves psychology, economics and more."
Rivera has built a strong connection with her marketing professors, who she says have been incredibly helpful and motivating. "Three professors in particular have played an important role," she says. "First I would credit Chairman of the Marketing Department Dr. Ron Drozdenko and Instructor Donna Coelho as advisers to the WCSU Marketing Club. They gave me the opportunity to practice my leadership skills and encouraged me to see through all the challenges. I couldn't have done it without their support and constant advice," Rivera explains. "Another mentor has been Assistant Professor of Marketing Bob Watson. His experience, knowledge and enthusiasm of the industry has allowed me to find my niche once I graduate. He has been incredibly supportive and helpful to me personally and to the professional I want to become once I graduate. All of my professors have given so much and have helped me grow as an individual and academically."
Asked what she will remember most about her WCSU experience, Rivera says, "Winning the awards for the Marketing Club. It was the most amazing feeling knowing that all that hard work paid off and being able to bring the school and our club recognition. I also loved working as an orientation leader; it was great to meet prospective students and their parents. It's been exciting to see how those incoming students I had in my group are now becoming WestConn's future leaders."
After graduation, Rivera plans to search for a job in marketing or advertising. "I am looking to work specifically with an advertising agency and plan to obtain my MBA in the next five years," she says.
Rivera's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "Get involved on campus as soon as possible. There are so many opportunities and connections that can enhance your future. The university provides so many opportunities, from clubs to on campus employment. Find hard work you love doing because it can lead you to so many opportunities and you will be passionate about everything you do. Also know that along the way you will make mistakes. Without mistakes you cannot see where to improve and grow. All these things will help you learn what major to choose, what career choices to make and build relationships and connections that will help you in your future."

Forbes: This Father's Day I had a dilemma on my hands. My dad had expressed an interest in seeing what this newfangled Netflix thing was all about, and I thought a good gift would be a box through which he could get the streaming service.
Naturally, as a gamer, my first thought turned to which console I could get him that would serve as a primary Netflix box. Yes, I could go with AppleTV, but if I'd never used it, teaching him would be a chore. Plugging in a laptop each time via HDMI would be too much of a hassle, and so I went with my original assertion, picking and choosing between which gaming console I'd get my dad. It was a present I never thought I'd give.
Seems like an obvious choice if you were to pick a console to stream Netflix for a not techy person. But why not a Roku box?
Lol, I said the same thing right as your comment was posted.
Another dumb This Vs That debate, If you have Netflix for one or the other platform, great. Enjoy it. lmfao..
I stream netflix on wii, ps3, 360 and 3ds.
When it comes to streaming netflix in general I use an LG bluray player. It is the main player for all things movies and is the easiest device for my wife to use.
As for this article, why he didnt just go with either a dedicated netflix box or a bluray player is odd. Especially if the intended party is someone who isnt to tech savvy.
There are wireless bluray players for under $100 that can do netflix, vudu, hulu and a slew of other streaming services these days.
or... he could have just bought dad a new smart TV with Netflix in it. Not sure what his dad's TV situation is but these kinds of TV's are brilliant options for those only looking to do Netflix. You can get a great 30-32 inch smart LCD TV for just about the same price as the different console bundles these days.
or even better yet...
He could have bought Dad the Sony Blu Ray Player w/ Wifi(Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, facebook & Twitter apps) for $120 via Best Buy (Model: BDPS390).
My point I think there are far better cost options for getting someone a machine for Netflix play than a 360 or a PS3.
I agree with you guys that are better options for non tech savy people, but what if his father happens to look interested in gaming?
I know my father would randomly join me in a match of International Superstar Soccer when I was a kid and it was great fun, despite he being completelly out of his confort zone. If he was still alive I would totally give him a PS3, imagine rocking out BF3 with your old man!
Other thing to consider is if it's a trojan horse of a present... Give your father a PS3, so you can play when you are visiting! LOL
The HD quality does not compare. besides, I'm sure any father would want more than just a bluray player eventually.
@Dlacy13g You cannot buy a smart tv for the same price as a console.. A 32 inch lcd hd tv costs 2-3 hundred right now.. a vizio 32 inch lcd smart tv is $369 right now..
I bought my dad a card and a bottle of whisky.
If I were to do this, I'd get him a 4gb 360 with Kinect, and a membership to Netflix. Using Kinect with netflix is a godsend for browsing, and my dad is a computer radio engineer, so he'd get a kick out of using Kinect as well.
ehh last time i checked u needed a xbox live membership to even use netflix on xbox so obviously ps3 is a better choice top that off with a bluray player.
I was going to say the same thing, the Roku supports more apps than PS3 and cost a fraction of it, uses less power and is easier to use. You don't have to use a controller and instead use a remote like device.
Yeah, but it doesn't have a Blu-Ray player, which could be another reason for it.
Blu-ray feature is hardly worth $150-200 extra?
If it was such an issue, here is a blu-ray player with netflix for $80 and it doesn't have that pesky controller:
Also, Roku gets Angry Bird! XD
@nuke Sony makes a really nice tv style remote for the ps3 that works brilliantly and also has the square, x, circle, and triangle buttons.. Buying a ps3 as a primary netflix device isn't as bad of a deal as you all are making it out to be.. The blu-ray and access to the playstation movie store makes it a great movie device...
So in his case, the PS3 makes sense.
You said it yourself: for some even a Roku is too technical. That or they don't advertise on TV.
Though anyone looking will just find a TV with streaming capability.
because then you wouldn't be able to play games on it as well.
I was going to say exactly the same thing everyone else was going to say: why not just buy a Roku box? Everyone else said it even though the first comment already said it, yet everyone still felt the need to say what's already been said, so I said it as well :)
I agree with Emilio. If you were going to buy a streaming device then they should have just bought a Roku box.
This whole debate between and xbox or ps3 (for netflix) is mute I think.
He said it was money that made him decide for the ps3 which is a fair conclusion and I would agree with it.
But as a few people have pointed out, there are significantly cheaper devices that support netflix and do an equally good job for streaming when compared with the ps3/xbox.
A cheap blu ray player will be the first thing that comes to mind, and if he wanted all the extra features a samsung smart blu ray player would have satisfied all the needs which would have worked out cheaper. This sort of thing seems its a bit like flame bait, because there are at least another 99 devices that deliver the same content for less than a ps3/xbox...
A Roku player would have worked as well. XD
Yeah, don't get why you'd get a console in the first place. I get his choice of one with a 'friendlier' user interface, but I'd rather show my dad how to navigate to the Netflix icon on the PS3 and give him a Blu-ray player as well as the other video streaming options out there without any annual costs.
They have that too, and it's not a PS3 and cost far less at $80 (one third):
I don't see it either. Maybe dad will play some games once he figures out the interface?
I just cant get over how this can be made into an article. Yeh for just Netflix then the PS3 is the one to go for but really?
How much further can gaming journalism fall?
This is the type of lame articles that make it to the front page of this site it's posted by some right sad losers trying to push the notion that every one should buy a PS3 over an Xbox :-#,
The other obvious advantage for PS3 over 360 as one's "Netflix Machine" (if your not gonna go for the cheaper Roku or AppleTV) is that it plays Blu-Ray.
options on the market that play bluray as well as the various streaming services.
But with a ps3 you also have access to the playstation movie store and you can rent or buy and save them to your hard drive..
If he is a gamer I can see getting him a console. However I wanted to get my girlfriend's parents something to watch Netflix on, so I got them a Blu-ray player....only 80 dollars, watches Blu-rays, and an easy keyboard style peripheral to type on Netflix, all through wi-fi too.
The only reason I'd get my (or her) parents a PS3 was for free chat on it. However we live within a good radius and see them all the time, so no need for it.
The reason you would get your parents a PS3 is stupid, you have free chat on everything. You can use Facebook, email and texts.
The point is keeping it away from the computer, and something on the TV.....
I don't see how MY viewpoint is stupid just because its different than yours though. I'm on my PS3 a lot, it would make for communication to be a lot easier, and can have video on the TV.
Soldier he's just a sony hater and any reasonable opinion in favor of the ps3 obviously angers him so let him fume in his own little world... Just a troll..
(Sigh) Now somebody is gonna wright about which console is best for Netflix streaming?
BorderLands! Please come out!
Is english your first language?
It's spelt write.
Uh-oh theres a Keyboard Warrior over here ^^^
He actually corrected you in a nice way.
And you should care, so next time you wont make the same mistake.
Is it yours?
It's spelt 'English', with a capital letter.
You forgot the capital 'E' on English.
You fail.
Damn you PixL! Now I look foolish!
Xbox had the better netflix till the last big update now it's terrible the layout sucks and no group watch >.> It took almost 6 months but I finally got use to the PS3 netflix which I now find better.
yeah ps3 is alot better on netflix u just subscribe to the service on xbox u got to subscribe to both the xbox live and netflix which is stupid cause thats just more money
@darth---dude some people who use the xbox for lets say kids may not pay to have live because of how (air quotes) dangerous online violence is so they dont pay to get netflix either and also i dont use live and i can still buy games from the store so i do my free gaming and netflix on u guessed it ps3
there are even people who buy the wii or 360 or ps3 and dont even hook them up to the internet.
Go figure. Everyone is different.
but who really wants to pay Netflix for their services and then pay MS for the right to watch what you are already paying for when you can watch it free everywhere else with just your Netflix account.
a complete and utter fool that is who
like it has to be done in that order. Chances are there are people who are live members first and netflix members second.
So in that case, being able to watch netflix over live is very likely. Its all about taking advantage of what's in front of you.
You just justified paying twice for the ability to use one streaming service. Are you proud of yourself? Did your parents teach you nothing of the value of a dollar?
In Plain English: HOW MUCH SENSE DOES IT MAKE TO PAY A BASE $60 A YEAR AND AN ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION FEE TO WATCH NETFLIX?
I can't believe you would actually say "well maybe it wasn't in that order." WHO CARES WHAT ORDER IT'S IN, YOU'RE PAYING TWICE FOR ONE SERVICE!
sheesh you seem butt hurt over the fact i choose to pay for live AND netflix. Go figure netflix isnt the selling point for live but the way you stated it, it may as well be.
It's okay. i get it. I also use netflix on the wii, ps3, 3ds and my phone. I pay for netflix and i use it on as many devices as i see fit. If one of them happens to be a 360 and i am already a live gold member then so be it.
I don't care what you want to throw your money away on. But to try to justify robbery is why you, and those like you, are a part of the problem. There is no justification for one person to have to pay to 3 different companies in order to use 1 service.
For all intents and purposes, this discussion assumes that individual A possesses only 3 things. The first is an internet connection which Individual A pays an ISP for. The second is a PS3 AND an Xbox 360. The third is a Netflix subscription.
We'll say Individual A has a decent broadband package, which will run him/her about $50 a month for good speed and bandwidth. We'll say that Individual A has an Xbox Live Gold account paid at the base price MS asks for, $60 a year or $5 month. We'll also say that Individual A has a Netflix subscription for one year. According to netflix's own site, that runs you $95.88, or $7.99 a month.
In one year, the total cost of using ONLY NETFLIX for the PS3 is $695.88.
In one year, the total cost of using ONLY NETFLIX for the Xbox 360 is $755.88
Explain to me the justification. Explain to me how that is GOOD and/or a right thing.
That is my issue with your statement. You are trying to suggest, in even the smallest fashion, that it is acceptable to pay 3 different companies for the use of 1 service. Frankly, that should be unacceptable to anyone with common sense.
Hmmm, no..I'm not paying twice for one service since I am using both of the services.
lol ok whatever, no one signs up to gold just for netflix. Its for people who are already gold subscribers. Im not sure why we bother because youre obviously too thick to understand.
Haha I wonder if his dad will ever play MW3 since its bundled in.
Who cares there nothing on Netflix anyway. they lost majority of their contracts.
Still have alot
not really, netflix lost more than half their content. hulu has more now.
lol it's hard to find you convincing with username like that! maybe that's why you have more disagrees
I agree. I canceled Netflix because of what you think. Also waiting for new BD movies longer than ever was a turn off for me. But I need to renew my membership because comcast movies ondemand is wasting more money .My BD-c6900 makes Netflix look good close to Comcast HD channels.
Hollywood making Netflix wait longer for new releases hurt the nostalgia of the business that built it. Folks felt a victory over the greed. Most are don't have patients.
Netflix is just one of many apps on the 360. There is also more to choose from and it's easier to use. If it wasn't for the 360 there wouldn't be any video apps on the PS3. MS started it, then Sony followed.
wow ummm dude no it didnt....they just went with it and now its all about apps and kinect and oh yeah the same four games every year
"MS started it, then Sony followed"
I remember when 360 didn't have Blu-ray or even HDMI and all the 360 fans were like, it doesn't matter HD is a gimmick and 360 is laser focused on games. We don't need movies, internet, etc...
With smartglass coming, if one had to buy a console to enjoy Netflix(lol) the 360 would be the best choice. Paying for XBL would grant him features we don't even know about but will soon find out in a few hours. Chances are the house holds already have game consoles and BLU ray players in them. Current and future XBL services and features on MS tablets and phones as well as partner device makers all sharing the complete experience across xbox, windows and more. Well worth the yearly fee.
Dad can pause his xbox with his voice and have XBL feed his portable device espn sports stats, the resume the movie on the tv by voice. Nov 2012
I choose PS3 for Netflix just because the UI is so much better.
The new set up on the 360 is painful and i really wish they would roll it back to how it was before.
^^^^ Agreed. Ps3 is the way to go for Netlix viewing, it's just much more of an intuitive setup for browsing the que and peeking at different titles. I HATE the way Netflix works on Xbox (and just about everything else's functionality in the most recent dashboard update sucks IMO as well)
On Xbox It drives me nuts that if I just press a button to read the description of a film or to browse through episodes of a TV series, it just ques up and starts playing and you have to pause it and find the 'more' episodes icon, which sometimes doesn't appear for some reason.. Netflix + Xbox 360 = ANGER!

Booty Call #2 Watch this scene »
Normally a real chatterbox, Christy Marks is very quiet this time until her pussy is stuffed with big cock. Then she explodes like a fireworks factory when someone tosses a cigarette. This is partly a POV coupling with lots of hands-on tits action that puts you in the driver's seat. Christy and booty call companion bang very vigorously. There's hot, energetic pile-driving action, a difficult position that the extremely flexible and limber Christy can easily handle. When Christy bangs, step back and give the little lady some fuckin' room. No wonder she was voted SCORELAND's #1 Best of the Decade. She gives 200% in everything she does. The boob-bouncing as Christy rides cock on top is tremendous. Read More »

I agree with JR. An absolute basic requirement of any slut on this website is to take a load all over their face. And it needs to be a big load, not some chin dribble, but at least 2-3 long full streams of hot cum across their faces. This is porn! Ladies, take that man jizz!

does this girl do anything besides cum on tits? my wife does that! this is porn? has this girl ever done a facial? do the women run the show as to content? i will not return to score anylonger cause this is the same scenario almost everytime, pretty pathetic in fact!

This is such a great video! Love the POV tit fondling, and
Christy is so deliciously slutty. It's going straight onto my
iPhone for enjoyment anywhere--I can tell this one will be a
favourite for a long time to come.

Big Boob Paradise: Christy's Interview
It's always a pleasure to listen to what SCORE Girls have to say. The staff has always brought a human approach to the presentation of the pictorials and videos and tries to get to know them as real women, not stereotypes. Other adult entertainment companies don't care for this approach and revel in dehumanizing the girls so that they are basically described as "whores" for doing exactly what they are asked to do. It's a form of commercialized slut shaming. Christy Marks had no great aspirations in adult modeling. She enjoyed expressing her heated yet girl-next-door horniness and being catapulted into the spotlight--seen all over the world in centerfolds and DVDs. Guy can relate to her because of this down-home personality. She could be that busty waitress at your local lunch place, a student teacher or that girl who works in a doctor's office. Who was Christy's favorite girl on this trip? "Angela White, hands down," Christy said. "She was really into it. Personality-wise, she was the best. And Gianna Rossi was really good. I'd have to say that my best girl/girl scene was with Gianna. The chick knows what she is doing. She is good at what she does." What did Christy herself like to watch...besides her own scenes? "I love lesbians. I don't know if that's a fetish. I watch a lot of porn at home, but it's all lesbian porn. I don't watch regular porn. Lesbian porn is my favorite. It gets me off. I like girls with big, real tits. Like mine."

Big, dripping-wet boobs! The name of this game is "Showering Bra-Busters" and the players are two of SCORELAND's all-time greats Karina Hart and Christy Marks with German super-mega-titter Beshine in a wet tee, wet tits finale. One of life's great mysteries is why girls take so long in the shower. We don't care why and encourage them to continue taking their time.

Behind The Scenes Screw
From ChristyMarks.com, Christy's "Behind The Scenes Screw." We told Christy she could shoot her own scene if she wanted to. Christy lured one of the stunt-cocks and a TSG cameraman to a section of the studio behind the sets where stuff is stored. (No surprise since Christy can charm a charging lion and talk the birdies out of the trees.) The most astonishing move of all in this video is at 14:40 when Christy is upside-down on a chair and getting his cock pile-driven into her. Very few can pull off this position (especially on a chair!) but very few are like Christy. As Christy once told us about sex on-camera, "If I am attracted to a guy, even just a little bit, that doesn't matter. What matters is if the guy gets into the scene and doesn't act like it's just work. When the guys get into it, I really do cum. It's just like fucking but with a camera in my face. I do the same things I do at home, just more positions. So I really do enjoy it."

Christy's Sexercises
Christy Marks loves being active and she loves to share all of her workout tips. That's why she got excited when she saw this dude working out in the backyard. Christy wanted to give him some workout tips. Or maybe it was that she wanted to work out his cock? No man can stay clothed and flaccid around Christy. It's impossible. Christy believes that what goes up is her fault. When guys tent their shorts in her presence, it's the law of physics at work. No healthy man who digs big boobs and a pretty face can will his junk to stay down when Christy is a few feet from him unless he was the willpower of a Himalayan monk. And this guy? Him a will be layan' Christy at poolside very quickly.

Big Boob Paradise: Christy Marks Part 2
Christy Marks was the youngest of the Big Boob Paradise group at 18, and 18-year-olds tend to be very horny. She's also the one most likely to lay back and spread her legs just for the sake of spreading her legs. And the one most likely to mash her big tits in your face. Like Angela White, she loves men and women...sexually and personally. Christy's one of those girls with whom it's hard to tell if she wants to fuck you or just talk to you. Or maybe she wants to do both. The worst thing about Eleuthera for Christy was that there's no McDonald's on the island. The girl usually eats McDonald's four times a day. The second-worst thing about Eleuthera for Christy was that the Internet connection was so slow. This girl is really into computers. The best thing about Eleuthera for Christy? Everything else. Being in The Bahamas for the first time. Being around so many people that she quickly grew very attached to. Becoming friends, if only for a short time, with Lorna, Gianna, Terry and Angela. Christy called everyone Mr. or Ms. John Fox, the chief of The SCORE Group, was Mr. John, his wife was Miss Sue and Dave Rosenbaum, editor of SCORE magazine, was Mr. Dave. She's polite and well-mannered, and treats people with courtesy.

Big Boobed Working Girls
Where would the labor force be without the hard work and dedication of the female worker? From corporate employees and factory workers to business owners and lingerie models, women have contributed so much to the betterment of society. Take Christy Marks, working as a cab driver. Yes, she's a little rough with the wheel as this scene proves, especially around corners, but no one--repeat--no one takes a dude for a ride like she does. And June Summers as a tough probation officer keeps the streets safe by busting guys and keeping them on the straight and narrow. She meets a lot of hard men on the job but June knows how to straighten them out real good! SCORE salutes these heroines with hooters. Every day is Labor Day for these fine foxes.

Tits & Tuggin' Double Play
They don't come any more "busty-chick-next-door" than Janet Jade and Christy Marks. In her corner, breaking the measuring tape at 38DDD, standing 5'2" and weighing 138 squeezable pounds, Janet Jade from Detroit. Her fellow handmaiden Christy Marks, 36H, 5'4" and 134 pounds is from Pennsylvania. They would have made a great team running a massage parlor. "A lot of guys like my ass, but most guys mostly pay attention to my boobs," Janet said. Christy is entranced by Janet's sweater-bumps. "I don't know whose titties are bigger, but I like yours better. I think mine might be wider and yours are bigger. But I think they look really nice together." They walk towards the camera wearing low-cut tops that display their cleavage mounds like a frame showcasing a painting. Christy and Janet play with their tits, helping each other remove their boobs from their tops. They squeeze, they rub, they jiggle, they shake. They coat their rich, soft tits with baby oil and strip down to their panties. Soon their hands will be kneading, rubbing, yanking and stroking. Their breasts will engulf the boner, squeezing, jerking and massaging. The girls purr, hum, whisper and murmur in jack-chat, their sweet voices bringing a sonic eroticism to the action until their target explodes.

Award-winning Christy Marks starts out to clean that bike but she gets wetter when she turns her attention to her curvy chassis in this upgraded-to-HD video. Christy forsakes easy riding to soap up her twin torpedoes instead. "I try to keep a positive outlook on things," Christy Marks told SCORE's editor Dave in one of their many interviews. "I'm the kind of person who tries to look at the whole picture instead of just the top-left corner. It helps me out a lot. I mean, I get mad over a lot of things, but I get over it. And, of course, there's my vibrator. I'll just take it out, lay down on my bed, use it for a while, have a good orgasm, and before I know it, I've forgotten what I was mad about."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 24, 2010) - A day removed from opening its 2010 season with a strong win at Eastern Kentucky the ETSU women's tennis team fell just short of making school history less than 24-hours later as head coach Steve Brooks' squad fell 4-3 Sunday at No. 11 Tennessee inside the Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center in Knoxville.
With the win the Lady Vols improved to 2-0, while ETSU fell to 1-1 on the young season.
"Today I thought we had some great performances out of the girls," said Brooks. "Tennessee is a great program and overall I hate that we came just a little short this afternoon. That being said, in the long run of things I believe this is going to be a confidence booster for us as the season moves forward."
After Tennessee swept all three doubles matches for the early 1-0 lead, the Lady Vols pushed their advantage to 2-0 after ETSU senior Yevgeniya Stupak (Kyiv, Ukraine), fell in straight sets to sixth-ranked Caitln Whoriskey in No. 1 singles 6-0, 6-1.
UT then extended its lead to 3-0 as junior Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa), dropped her match at No. 3 to Rosalia Alda, 6-2, 6-3.
With their backs against the wall and Tennessee rolling it looked like the Lady Vols would run away with the match needing only one more point for the win. That's when ETSU came alive.
Sophomore Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Urkaine), picked up a default win over Natalie Pluskota, before Tennessee survived a long three-set match at No. 4 as sophomore Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela), fell 6-3, 6-4 to Zsofia Zubor.
"Karina was a bit unlucky today," said Brooks. "Just when she was getting into a rhythm some rain leaked from the roof and it forced the match to move over a court. It's an unfortunate event that could have made things really interesting with Paula and Andra wrapping up their matches."
Near the same time that Tennessee was edging out its victory sophomore Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain), closed out her first career ranked win.
After Jaime cruised in the first set 6-0, 51st-ranked Tennessee sophomore Maria Sorbello forced a tiebreaker in the second at 6-6. In the extra frame the second-year Lady Buc stayed strong matching the momentum of Sorbello at 8-8, before breaking the nationally ranked Lady Vol at 9-8. Jaime then served out the match at 10-8 for the victory.
"I'm very happy and proud for Paula," Brooks said. "This is the third time in our program's history that a player earned a ranked win. Paula is the type of lady that brings a lot of emotion and heart to the court and it's great to see her continue to get better this early in the season."
Rounding out the scores was junior Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania), who rolled past Tennessee's Katie Lee 6-3, 6-4 (10-5). Voinea, who was injured for the majority of the 2009 season, now sits at 2-0 after her two victories this weekend.
"Andra was an all-conference performer two years ago and now it seems like she's really returned to her old form," said Brooks. "As a coach you always like to see players seal a victory while staying aggressive. Today was a great example of that when Andra ripped a forehand winner down the line that clinched the last match."
After two straight contests on consecutive days ETSU will take almost two weeks off before returning to action February 6 at regional rival Virginia Tech.
Attached above is a link to today's final statistics.
