Anyone been to Viang Vieng (Laos)? Ive just finished reading a friends blog about the place and wish id warned her not to go in the first place. For anyone who hasnt been/heard its small town in central Laos that is well on its way to becoming a new Khao San rd. The place is overrun by backpackers who spend their days tubing down the river and evenings watching friends and getting hammered in one of the many little backpacker orientated bars.
Personally thats not what i go away for..im pretty sure that local culture doesnt/didnt normally include the simpsons and after all thats my main motivation for going away..to experience a different culture.
Anyone who has read my previous post will know that im interested in the influence that the guidebook has on travellers and my theory is that by sending so many people along the same guidebook recommended 'off the beaten track' (which clearly is just the opposite!) they are encouraging the creation of these 'backpacker enclaves'. Here backpackers live in a 'bubble' not really experiencing anything authentic about the place. They almost may just as well have gone to an all inclusive resort!
Very longwinded im afraid and probably a topic that has cropped up in the past but one that theres always more to say on i think..

For me, the most quintessential indicator of Autumn's arrival is the changing of the leaves. The tree outside my living room window is starting to tinge yellow, which reminds me of the color I'm most excited to rock this season..
|images via style.com
I know what you're thinking--yes, that took a long time to make. I also know what else you're thinking, and you are so welcome for bringing this underdog of colors to your attention.
Note the beautiful bevvy of skintones above. From fairly dark (Dior) to obscenely pale (tie between Hermes and Gucci), mustard looks rockin on each and every one of them. I also love that this color can be totally in your face but still not overwhelming, and creates a dramatic statement in both head-to-toe yellow or as a peek of hued tights.
Don't have any mustard pieces in your closet (neither did I!)? Here are a few picks I think you'll love:
|Seychelles "Clue" heels, $130 at Zappos
|Perfect-fit long-sleeve crew, $20 (was $25) at J.Crew
|Cable-knit scarf, $32 at Topshop

HDL provides atheroprotection by facilitating cholesterol efflex from lipid-laden macrophages in the vessel wall. In vitro studies have suggested impaired efflux capacity of HDL following inflammatory changes. We assessed the impact of acute severe sepsis and mild chronic inflammatory disease on the efflux capacity of HDL. We hypothesize that a more severe inflammatory state leads to stronger impaired cholesterol efflux capacity. Using lipid-laden THP1 cells and fibroblasts we were able to show that efflux capacity of HDL from both patients with severe sepsis or with Crohn's disease (active or in remission), either isolated using density gradient ultracentrifugation or using apoB precipitation, was not impaired. Yet plasma levels of HDL cholesterol and apoA-I were markedly lower in patients with sepsis. Based on the current observations we conclude that inflammatory disease does not interfere with the capacity of HDL to mediate cholesterol efflux. Our findings do not lend support to the biological relevance of HDL function changes in vitro.

Why would she want to come here?
That is what board members who voted FOR the newly elected Superintendent of Schools for Montgomery County said and what members who voted against her have said.
That's embarrassing.
In fact, the entire special board meeting that ultimately selected the news superintendent was mind numbing.
Check it out on wsfa.com.
We heard references were not checked, salary questions unanswered, input from members of the school system ignored.
We saw contentiousness and animosity and division.
If the newly elected superintendent watches this, I wonder if she will accept the job.
We must do better. Our school system has challenges but strong leadership has moved it forward the past few years and strong leadership can continue to move it forward.
That leadership must come from everyone associated with the system.

Fresh wildflower blooms and the rustic, natural beauty of the mountain setting at the Catamount Ranch & Club helped create this quintessential Colorado wedding. Homemade touches, such as the bride's gown which was made by her mother, added a warm, close feel to the day. "I originally fell in love with a designer gown, but had sticker shock when I found out how much it cost," says Abby. "My mom is a talented seamstress—she made all of my childhood dance costumes—so we decided we could make a similar gown ourselves."

Apartment In Collioure
Rue Julien Py 4,, Collioure, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Property Ref:
Description of Apartment In CollioureThis delightful, first floor holiday apartment enjoys sea views and shared use of a swimming pool (12m x 5m, depth 1m to 2m). It is located only 1km from the beaches in the stunning seaside resort of Collioure. Built in unspoilt, natural surroundings, Collioure occupies an idyllic site made even more charming by the blue of the sky and sea - its fortified church is so close to the coast that it seems to be actually in the Mediterranean. The old royal castle separates the two little ports with their beaches, brightly coloured Catalan boats and characteristic masts. With its old streets lined with flower bedecked balconies, its seaside promenade, boutiques and terrace cafés, this little fortress town has a very distinctive character which has attracted renowned artists such as Picasso and Matisse, and is considered the cradle of Fauvism. The Spanish border is close by (25km), as are numerous other seaside resorts and the Catalan city of Perpignan (30km), with its sunny palm-lined squares, good food and wine. Regular bus and train services to Perpignan, local towns and Gerona airport. Shops, café/bars, restaurants and beach 1km.

Rosie looks so peaceful whilst sleeping. She has recently taken to filling her cot with all her favourite toys and dolls to play with when she wakes up.
When Poppy is at School and she is due for a nap, she will run to Poppy's room to grab a few of hers too. She is very cheeky.

Selling your home can sometimes feel like a high-stakes game of chicken. You want the highest price you can get, the buyer wants a bargain, and you both hold your ground until someone blinks. Psychology tells us that people think and behave in certain predictable ways, and you can use that information to your advantage in marketing and presenting your home. Here are some of the more effective strategies experts recommend for selling your home.
Start at the Bottom
Pinpointing an accurate selling price is tough to do right off the bat, but it's relatively easy to determine a range of values. Once you've done that, set your asking price at the lower end of the range. People are often driven by a crowd mentality that drives them to seek what is seen as desirable by others. The "bargain" price will attract a number of buyers who will start a bidding war to beat the competition.
This strategy takes a strong stomach and nerves of steel, and you'll need to do some serious research. If you can pull it off, it's one of the more effective ways of selling your home at a more lucrative price.
Host a Themed Open House
When people are shopping for a new home, they might attend several generic open houses that end up blurring into one another. How can you make yours stand out in their memory? Plan your open house around a particular theme, especially one that will play up the "homey" aspect. If you're selling your home during a holiday season, incorporate the corresponding decorations with some appropriate snacks and beverages.
Other ideas include wine and cheese pairings or even a barbecue if you're feeling ambitious. The idea is to get prospective buyers seeing your house as a home rather than a collection of rooms under a roof.
Stash the Personal Paraphernalia
While you certainly want your prospective buyers to picture themselves living in your house, displaying personal items such as family photos and keepsakes can backfire by indelibly stamping the house as your home.
Go through your home with an objective eye and pack up anything that could disrupt a potential buyer's vision of "home." You might want to think about hiring a stager who can advise you on the best way to display your furniture and accessories.
Let There Be Light
Have you ever walked into a house and thought, "Boy, it's just not dark enough in here?" An abundance of light is almost guaranteed to lift spirits, and it certainly shows your home off to its best advantage. Open the drapes, use higher-wattage light bulbs, and do whatever you can to increase the level of light.
Of course, the flip side is that light will also make dirt and debris more visible. It's more important than ever that your home is spotless, especially the windows.
A Picture Is Still Worth a Thousand Words
Like many other activities in life, the process of selling your home has been revolutionized by technology. Your listing can include far more information than was ever possible with a classified ad, and it can reach an infinitely wider audience than any newspaper.
With buyers able to pass judgment on homes without even setting foot outside of theirs, you need to use the full potential of technology. Today you don't have to be a photography expert to film a video that gives viewers a virtual tour of your home.
The Crucial First Impression
Real estate professionals have a term for it: curb appeal. If the exterior of your home, including the yard, looks shabby or unkempt, people are going to assume the same about the interior. Take a look at the outside of your home as though you were seeing it for the first time. Does it look inviting or off-putting? Would it entice you into seeing what's inside? Experts estimate that most sellers get a 100 percent return on any money they invest in boosting curb appeal.When selling your home, the bottom line is that you should put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer. The things that you would look for are most likely the same things he or she would. Keep this in mind as you formulate your strategy and get ready to field those offers!

May 21, 2007 - 3:01 pmMARYSVILLE, Mich. -- The Chrysler group's $700 million axle plant to be built here will supply rear-drive axles to Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz, officials said today.
The Marysville axle plant is scheduled to open in 2009, and construction begins this year. The plant, about 55 miles northeast of Detroit, will have about 900 workers and the capacity to make slightly more than 1 million axles a year.
The axles will be used in light trucks, Chrysler executives said. That also will allow them to supply the Mercedes' plant in Vance, Ala., which builds the M-class crossovers and GL-class SUVs.
Officials from Chrysler, the UAW and local government held a groundbreaking today. The ceremony comes a week after Cerberus Capital Management LP announced plans to acquire the Chrysler group from DaimlerChrysler AG.
Axles are a component that many automakers find easy to buy from outside suppliers. But Chrysler has proprietary technology, including lightweight axles and precision gear grinding, that it wants to keep, said Frank Ewasyshyn, Chrysler group manufacturing chief.
The Marysville plant will replace Chrysler's Detroit axle plant, which has about 1,400 employees.
General Holiefield, head of the UAW's Chrysler department, said much of the employee reduction will be covered by attrition and early retirement programs offered by Chrysler.

Rose Chocolate
Hello all, how are you?
I was geared up to be all excited and giddy about this post. You know 'lovely yarn, I love how it's turned out' and all that. Don't get me wrong I still am very excited and pleased with this project but it is turning out to be a very strange week indeed and I don't know, I'm feeling quite peculiar (yes thank you anyone who said I'm peculiar all the time! :o) )))
Mr Bowie passing away earlier this week and hearing his song predicting this is sad and upsetting. My husband is a musician and in all seriousness is really quite bereft, David was absolutely one of his major heroes.
A friend going through a really difficult patch is heartbreaking and I wish there was something I could do. But there isn't. Except listen.
Unsettling developments at work :o(
and I've just learned that Alan Rickman has passed away too.
It feels all a bit too much.
So anyway, my project. Rose Chocolate cowl. I do love it, it's soft and warm (merino and silk) I'm wearing it now and it didn't take too long to make. I matched it up with the mitts which are adapted from my Snow Dipped Mitts pattern - more shell rows in the cuff and slightly longer hand bit.
I have written up the cowl pattern and it's ready and waiting for you.
And it's free.
My gift to you.
So get over to either Love Crochet or Ravelry and download the free cowl pattern. Dig into your stash and see if you can find your favourite colours to wip this up, or treat yourself to something new. Life's too short, it's full of ups and downs. Lets enjoy it while we can and take pleasure from the simple things.
'till next time...

Although Andy Barber tells his father the trial is none of his business, Billy Barber argues that the possibility of being used as a witness makes it his business.

Line-ups: Coutinho in squad as Klopp makes eight changes, Southampton make seven changes

Daniel Sturridge gets the nod ahead of Divock Origi in attack
Southampton boss Claude Puel has made seven changes from the team that started Saturday's draw against Norwich.
Puel rested a number of players for the Canaries cup clash and restores his big guns for tonight's game.

Where They Stand Pre-July 4th
Strategic Vision, David Johnson's Atlanta-based agency, put out a statewide poll Wednesday aimed at the July 18 primary. Johnson's is a Republican-oriented public relations firm.
If the Democratic primary for Governor were held today, for whom would you vote for, Secretary of State Cathy Cox or Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor? (Democrats only)
Mark Taylor 46%
Cathy Cox 42%
Undecided 12%
From InsiderAdvantage Georgia:
(6/28/06) This is a critical week for major candidates seeking their party's nomination, particularly if they are at the top of the ballot. Here's where the races stand from a strategic point of view:
Democrat Governor Battle: Momentum has shifted, if not in a big way, back to Cathy Cox who has managed to keep her best ad concerning alleged use of state resources by Taylor for private enterprises and basically saying Taylor is lying about Cox's position on the HOPE scholarship. By sticking with the ad that penetrates versus endless versions which seem to not leave a lasting impression, Cox has regained some momentum or, at the very least, halted the free fall she was in just weeks ago. Taylor's strategy of avoiding big non-televised debates such as at the Municipal Associations Annual Convention held this week in Savannah, is likely a good strategic move. However, the "debate ducking" is becoming a news story and. moreover, leaving politically connected attendees changing their support. When word spread that Taylor attended the GABEO meeting of the state's black elected officials in the city, but failed to cross the bridge to the Savannah Convention Center, attendees became irritated, to say the least.
All of this may mean little if Taylor continues to hold his lead among African Americans in the polls. While Cox has made the race competitive again, she has yet to offer black voters a tangible reason to abandon their support for Taylor.

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my February Scrapmatts inspiration.
So this is a page I made for myself, by myself and with myself (you can see it for sure).
I scrapped my vacation memories as here in Israel Lilac bushes are not common (non existing ones).
So as I was born in a former USSR and was raised around lilac flowers every time I see one abroad I just take some photos near them. Just to remember the smell and the happiness of my early childhood.
I used Scrapberry's cardstock and small embellishments to make this page, but I used big and a lot of Scrapmatts chipboards to add texture, color and interest to this page.
All chipboards were heat embossed with black or mixed embossing powder and I used the same powder over some of cardstock die cut pieces to make it similar.
As you can see I used the chain circle around my own photo and I used the same powder to heat embossed the leaves near the metal pebble.
I made the mixed title using #unique word and added the banners of " me" to make one title.
Some embellishments were added over the gate part and on the lower corner and I added the words ' memories" as my sub- title.
The last, but not least- the oval frame that framed the upper stamped saying.
All other embellishments are just small add- ons of flowers, hand cut pieces and small metal charms.
And yes, life is good when you can travel and still remember your childhood as it was just a few days ago .
I wish. Not really a few days, but a like a whole 50 years back.
It still makes me Happy!

My second (and third) projects for Scrapmatts blog are those Steampunk card and tag.
Yes, I love Steampunk. Not as a way of life, but sure as a crafter.
So when I see pretty masculine cardstock and add gorgeous Scrapmatts chipboard and stencils, I get this fancy masculine friendship card first.
I used the Steamapunk Arch window frame and a big gear piece - both were heat embossed with copper powder. The gear was cut into two parts and added from both sides of the card.
I used Gears stencil with distress ink to cover the inside of the window.
The lamp was added in the middle to give the light of gold to this friendship card.
And yes, to make it a real Steampunk I added a few real metal pieces that fit the chipboards in the most perfect way.
My last project for Scrapmatts is this Steampunk tag.
Same style as the card, but the colors are totally different.
The card was a kind of a warm one.
This tag is a cold grey and blue project.
Some of the chipboards here were heat embossed with blue powder and the background one was left bare.
I added this lovely " naked" Happy Birthday chipboard and again, a few metal pieces were must to add things to make it a real Steampunk style.
I think that I am in love with those Scrapmatts Steampunk chipboards!
They make my masculine crafting possible!

A friend of mine dedicated a song to me today and it got me to thinking about things (thanks CC). I don't talk about my faith nearly enough and although I am not going to make this a spiritual session on what I believe...I do want to share one of my favorite songs from my all time favorite artist (not counting Elvis...I am forever his biggest fan).
His name is Keith Green. He has long passed and gone to be with the Lord (in a plane crash, so sad) but this song that he wrote is my life song. I used to listen to it over and over again when I was a teenager. I know many people looking in on my life might not see much of an example...but my heart is so there.
My favorite line in the song goes something like this (keeping in mind that the words are directly to God)...."I want to thank you now for being patient with me, Oh its so hard to see when my eyes are on me." This is a significant lyric to me because so many times in my life my eyes have only been on myself and when that happens I cant see much of what God has for me. But I truly love the line in the song that says "I wanna die and let you give your life to me so I might live, and share the hope you gave to me, I wanna share the love that set me free." Its so true, although I have been burdened down lately with bad choices, and although I have taken the hard road on many occasions(don't we all at times?)...I have been set free.

Click above for high-res gallery of the Fiat 500 Abarth Assetto Corse
With the revival of the Abarth tuning division, Fiat is serious about motorsports. They've been racking up victories in the Intercontinental Rally Championship with the Punto, and have even been sponsoring Valentino Rossi's MotoGP Yamaha. And to drive the point home, while the "esseesse" (read: SS) version of the Cinquecento Abarth was the division's new reveal, it was this racing version, called the Assetto Corse, that took center stage.
The Assetto Corse is, of course, based on the same Fiat 500 that's been selling like adorable little hotcakes in every market it's hit so far. But the cute factor is gone, replaced by big air scoops, giant wings, roll cages and little scorpion badges everywhere. (And we do mean everywhere.) The little racing car that could is packed with a 1.4-liter 16-valve turbocharged four driving 190 hp through a six-speed shifter to the front set of 17" powder-coated white alloys hiding 4-piston Brembo calipers. The interior has a full roll cage and racing bucket, and an aggressive aero package sets the exterior apart from its street-bound progenitors. Check out the hotness for yourself in the gallery below.

IANS : Goa exported 40 mn tones iron ore in 2009-10
sources : IANS/SIFY , April 3,2010
Export of iron ore from Goa increased from 33 million tonnes to 40 million tonnes in 2009-10, with
According to figures released by the Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) Saturday,
Praveen Agarwal, chairman of the MPT ,which accounts for 35 percent of the total iron ore exports from India, told reporters Saturday that iron ore exports to China has increased substantially because of 'dramatic increase in steel production by Chinese steel mills'.
Agarwal attributed the high level of iron ore exports to a variety of reasons.

The Sellersville foundation had asked for a delay in the decision until the township places a new zoning ordinance in effect. It was expected the ordinance would be in place by last night.

|Daily Blog • November 6th
Since #23 Toledo plays tonight, I have included their Top 25 forecast as well what is normally posted in the Friday Blog here today. Make sure to check back tomorrow for the rest of the Top 25 Forecasts and Friday for all of the FBS Picks! Jump to Week 10 News & Notes - Part 2
Last year during this game the Rockets were thinking they had a shot at the MAC Title game but found out at the half that NI had won ending their chances. UT still won 45-28. The last time here BSU led 17-0 into the 2Q (144-64 yard edge) and appeared to be in control but allowed 31 unanswered before scoring a td with :12 left falling 31-24. This is BSU's third straight away game and they're traveling after beating the tough Army option 30-22. QB Wenning has struggled in the last 2 putting up his lowest passing totals vs non-AQ teams. He is still avg 269 yard per game (64%) with a 17-7 ratio on the season and his top target, Snead, is #9 in the FBS in receptions per game (68, 13.3, 6 td's). Top rusher Edwards (949, 5.7, 9) enters this contest with 3 straight 100 yard games. The Rockets come in sky high as they entered the AP Poll for the first time in 11 years. What did it take for them to become ranked? A bye week. The Rockets knocked off an undefeated Cincy, then went on the road and beat Buffalo but never made it. Thanks to the 5 losses by the teams ranked #19-#24 in at least one of the polls, Toledo snuck into all 3 this week, including the BCS, where they're sitting at #25. The Rockets are averaging 200 yards per game rush led by Fluellen (1181, #6 FBS, 6.0, 11 td), and it's even more impressive when you consider that UT has taken on my #3 set of rush defenses this year! QB Owens is avg 244 yards per game (63%) with a 13-5 ratio is taking on my #109 pass eff D (262 ypg, 61%, 22-6 ratio). Both teams are not only thinking MAC Title but also bowl positioning and I'll take the home tm by a FG here.

|Ball St at Toledo
|by 6'
Nine of the 15 teams that made my Most Improved List featured in this year's magazine have already clinched bowl bids and there is still a month left!!
Jordan Lynch only accounted for 3 td's for Northern Illinois despite the final being 63-0 vs overmatched Massachusetts. NI played 2 backup QB's leaving Lynch in for just the first series of the 3Q and he left with them up 42-0. UMass went for it on 4th down 4 times in the 1H on 4&2 at the NI47, 4&9 at the NI50, 4&2 at the NI27 and 4&8 at the NI7 and all 4 times, failed. They fumbled on their first two 3Q poss and were SOD on 4&6 at the NI46.
Derek Dooley is on the hotseat at Tennessee and needed a victory. The good news is that his offense put up 35 FD's and 718 yards. The bad news is the D gave up 721 yards, the most ever by a Tenn opponent and they almost lost to a Sun Belt team in Troy as they trailed late in the game. It was the most yards ever combined for a Tenn game as the previous record was set back in 1997 when Tenn and Kentucky combined for 1,329. Tyler Bray hit 29-47-530. Troy QB Corey Robinson, who was injured 2 games ago, looked fully in form hitting 30-46 for 530. Things actually started well as UT bolted out to a 28-10 lead but needed a 21 yd FG on the last play of the half to retake the lead, 31-30. They trailed 48-41 when Troy got a td with 3:14 left and the Vols needed a 46 yd td pass with 2:54 left then after forcing a punt with 2:11 left, drove 66/6pl and got a 9 yd td run with 1:25 left. Troy would get
to the UT40 but fired incomplete on 4th down.
The kicking game let Tulsa down vs Arkansas as in the 1H Tulsa had a 203-158 yd edge but trailed 13-12 as they missed 2 xp's and a FG. Later, Tulsa went for it on 4&gl from the UA5, down 15-13 passing up a FG. Trailing 15-13, UA drove 76/4pl and got a td with 10:08 left but missed the 2 pt conv, 19-15. UA went 64/12 but missed a 25 yd FG with 3:35 left. Tulsa was SOD on 4&6 at its own 24, UA then was SOD on 4&1 at the Tulsa 17. Tulsa then fmbl'd and UA took a knee. UA did finish with a 407-328 yd edge.
Landry Jones hit 32-45-405 and Brennan Clay rushed for 157 yards and Oklahoma piled up a 593-293 yd edge vs Iowa St. At the half it was OU 225-84 but they only led 14-6 blowing some opportunities. The last time ISU beat OU in Ames was 1960. OU's opening drive went 69/11pl but on 4&1 the Belldozer was stuffed. OU was int'd and returned 47 yds to the 15 although it looked like the returnman went OOB at the 50 and it was upheld and ISU got a FG. OU was int again and ISU got a 51 yd FG but OU went 75/4 and got a 21 yd TD pass with :14 left to take momentum. The Sooners went 75/14pl and 68/8pl on their opening two 3Q poss for td's and on their 4th went 54/4pl for a td and led 35-13 and coasted.
The key story of the Georgia Tech/Maryland game was that MD was down to a 5th string QB in Shawn Petty who had been a LB prior to moving to QB last week. GT had a 401-259 yd edge and a 19-17 FD edge. GT led 20-0 at the half and 27-0 late 3Q. Vad Lee started for GT and attempted just 2 passes as did Tevin Washington. The two combined to hit 2-4-31 but GT rushed for 370 yards vs a MD team that entered this contest in the Top 10 in the NCAA in rush D. GT had a 205-61 yd edge at the half. On yesterday's blog I talked about teams that got td's on the last play of the game. Maryland did just that on a 23 yd td pass with no time left and because the game was over, they did not even attempt the xp.
Wake Forest got Michael Campanaro back into the lineup and he would have 3 td receptions setting an ACC record with 16 rec for the game. Tanner Price hit 39-57-293. Boston College's Chase Rettig hit 29-49-357 but had 3 costly int's. BC will not be going to a bowl game for a 2nd straight year and BC has clinched last place in the Atlantic division and puts Frank Spaziani as a coach on the hotseat right now. BC's first 2 poss ended on an int at midfield and one at the WF30 and on their 4th poss they were SOD on 4&1 at the WF47. With 3:29 left in the 1H the ball got slapped out of QB Rettig's hands and WF rec'd at the BC15 and Campanaro got a 16 yd td catch a few plays later to make it 21-7. WF only had a 187-141 yd edge. BC missed a 43 yd FG in the 3Q, on 4&1 was SOD at the 4, was int on their next drive at the WF20 and ended the game at the WF2. BC was held to 1 yd rushing in the 1H.
Notre Dame is off to its best start since 1993, a season where they finished #2 in the country and they needed a little "Luck of the Irish" to get there. A couple times the game appeared over vs Pitt but at the end of the game, they remained in the chase for the National Title. ND did dominate statistically with 34-13 FD and 522-308 yd edges. ND settled for 47 and 20 yd FG's on 13 and 18 pl drives to open and missed a 43 yd FG on the final play of the half to trail 10-6. Trailing 20-6 they got a td with 13:40 left but missed the xp and trailed by 8. With 4:34 left, on 2&gl from the 7, Golson was int'd in the EZ for a tb and it appeared over but they forced a punt and the Irish went 50/6pl and got a td and 2 pt conv with 2:11 left. In the 1OT each team got a FG. ND had a 1&gl at the 4 in the 2OT but Wood, as he stretched for the td, fumbled for a tb and once again the unbeaten season was over but Pitt's kicker barely missed a 33 yd FG. Pitt got a 44 yd FG and Golson's 1 yd td run allowed the Irish to escape with the win.
Utah St dominated Texas St. Chuckie Keeton played the entire game (due to injuries) for Utah St and hit 20-27-316 while rushing for 48 yards on 10 carries. Utah St had a 593-158 yd edge and 24-9 FD edge and led 35-0 at the half with a 347-313 yd edge. Texas St's first drive went 63/14pl but they were int'd in the EZ from the 12 trailing 7-0 and that would be as close as they got. Utah St drove 80/12 to the 14 yd line to end the game.
Marshall had 24-21 FD and 433-372 yard edges. They were up 17-7 at the half and had a 242-110 yard edge getting a td with 3:19 left in the half on a 75/10pl drive. Memphis drove for a 28 yd FG but it was blocked and MU went 81/8pl for a td, 24-7. MU onside kicked and rec'd and went 50/7pl for another td to lead 31-7. Memphis battled back and on 4&10, faked a punt and gained 61 yds to the 2 and got a td 2pl later with 8:10 left to pull within 31-28 but Marshall went 75/7pl and got a 28 yd td pass with 4:04 left. Memphis on 4&7 was SOD at the MU40 and MU got 2 FD's running out the clock with 4:04 left.
Dalton Williams still has 3 games to go but has already set Akron's single season record for td's with 24. UA had 23-18 FD edge and 442-364 yd edge vs Kent St and led 14-0 after 1Q but could not get the upset in the battle for the Wagon Wheel. UA led 21-7 late 2Q when Kent St got a td with 3:13 left but UA answered with a 32 yd FG on the 1H final play and led 24-14. Kent St went 94/10pl for a 4&1, 6 yd td run then rec'd a fumble and went 41/3pl and a 30 yd d run by Archer to take the 28-24 lead. The next 8 poss were punts and UA went for it at their own 35 yd line on 4&1 and were SOD. Kent St went 35/6pl punching in a td with just :38 left for a misleading double digit win.
Kansas played a decent 1H vs Baylor as they were only outgained 325-241 and faked a 30 yd FG trailing 17-7 and were SOD at the 14 but pulled within 17-14 with 5:46 left. Baylor would drive and got a 20 yd FG with 1:02 left got give them momentum into the lockerroom. KU was SOD on 4&2 at the BU45 and BU went 55/4pl for a td. KU threw int's on their next 2 drives and BU went 40/6pl for a td. BU missed a 45 yd FG then went 87/4pl and after KU was SOD, BU drove and missed a 42 yd FG with 2:26 left. KU gained 60 yds on the final drive getting to the BU20. BU finished with a 666-342 yd and 32-17 FD edges and Dayne Crist saw some action hitting 2-7-15 while starter Michael Cummings hit 9-19-81 for the Jayhawks.
UNLV piled up a 530-350 yd edge vs New Mexico and the Lobos starting QB was Cole Gautsche as that position was banged up for them and he hit 3-6-43 and rushed 11 times for 35. UNLV's first 4 poss were 48/7pl, 80/9, 78/11, 97/3 for 3 td's and a fumble at the NM31. Trailing 28-7, NM was SOD on 4&1 at the UNLV16 and the Rebels got a 58 yd td by Randle on 2&5 with 3:12 left.
A surprising stat in Fresno St's 45-10 win over Hawaii was that they only had an 18-17 FD edge and the yards were only 480-300. Still, UH did most of its damage late. At the half, FSU had a dominating 398-97 yd edge and led 42-3. It was similar to two things, the first was their route of Colorado at home earlier this year. Fresno St had 516-127 yd edge vs CU with 55 points at the half. Also, vs Oregon after a big lead and yardage edge. FSU shut it down in the 2H with UH getting a 75/7pl drive and a 5 yd td run with 3:06 left for a garbage td.
Southern Miss's amazing season continued as they led 16-0 vs UAB at the half but blew that lead as UAB rallied to outscore them 27-3 in the 2H and SM remains winless. In the 2H SM had just 117 yards and 2 TO's. At the half, SM led 16-0 and had a 180-165 yd edge. SM still led 19-17 in the 4Q when UAB took their first lead on a 40 yd FG with 3:51 left. SM got off a 9 yd punt and UAB went 50/7pl for a td. SM was SOD at the UAB43 with 1:01 left.
It's been a different UCF team since its been announced that they would be eligible for the CUSA Championship game and a bowl. Last week UCF beat Marshall 54-17 on the road and this past week they took on CUSA West contender SMU. Latavius Murray rushed for 155 yards and has been a big difference since he returned to the lineup. UCF fumbled at the SMU24 but still had a 209-129 yard edge at the half and led 21-10. They went 55/5pl and 55/4pl on their first two 2H poss to blow it open 35-10 and fumbled into the EZ for a tb on 3&gl from the 2 in their 42-17 win. SMU's 2H td was on a 75/12pl drive and the td came with just :30 left in the game.
Idaho fired HC Robb Akey and had interim HC Jason Gesser at the helm. They played a decent 1H vs San Jose St. It was 7-0 after 1Q thanks to a 55 yd KR to the SJS14 and a td 2pl later. SJSt had a 182-47 yd edge at the half. SJSt fmbl'd at their own 21 and UI got a 33 yd FG with 7:31 left in the 3Q to pull within 14-13 but SJSt quit fooling around and went 75/5pl, 80/7pl for td's. After a punt they went 45/4pl for a td and added a 47 yd IR td with 9:07 left, 42-13. SJSt had 21-12 FD and 413-288 yd edges.
Iowa was without RB Mark Weisman again and Damon Bullock had 25 carries for 83 yards. Iowa led 14-3 as after going 71/6pl for a td, they got an 18 yd IR td to lead 14-0. Indiana would get a 45 yd FG on a 10pl drive, on a 38/9pl drive they were SOD on 4&1 at the 12, they missed a 38 yd FG with 6:48 left in the half but went 87/6pl and got a td with :47 left in the half to take the momentum. They had a 225-136 yd edge at the half. Iowa went 57/9pl but was int'd in the EZ on 3&12 and Indiana went 80/7pl for a td to lead 17-14. Iowa took the lead with an 88/10pl drive with 12:17 left but Indiana went 61/4pl for a td, 24-21. Indiana fumbled at the Iowa 19 but took over with 4:43 left, got 2 FD's and didn't punt until :18 remained. Indy had 473-345 yd and 24-17 FD edges.
Dave Christensen and Wyoming put a high priority on winning the Border War and has now won 4 in a row, the longest win streak for UW in a series since 1973 when they had won 7 in a row. Colorado St actually had a 512-468 yd edge but the key play of the game happened with the score 14-7. CSU went on a 66/7pl drive and had a 3&gl from the 8 yd line and they were int'd and returned 99 yds for a td, the dreaded 14 point swing. At the half UW led 28-14 but only had a 300-278 yd edge. CSU pulled within 28-17 and UW went 68/11pl for a td, then after a 29 yd PR, 36/4pl for a td to lead 42-17. CSU got within 45-31 with 6:48 left then kicked off deep and UW got 4 FD's on a 50/13pl drive running out the clock to the CSU24.
Things didn't start out well for Arkansas St as they fumbled the opening KO into the EZ and fell on it for a safety and they trailed 9-7 when they got a 39 yd FG with :54 left in the 1Q. ASU rallied to lead 23-12 and then got a 4 yd TD pass with 2:12 left in the half to go up 30-12 and had a 355-177 yd edge. North Texas QB Thompson was questionable coming in and did leave on the last series of the half but returned in the 2H. Trailing 37-19, NT got to the 10 yd line where they were int'd in the EZ and their final drive went 66/13pl but on 4&2 were SOD at the ASU4.
Texas controlled the game vs Texas Tech in their 31-22 win despite TT finishing with a 441-427 yd edge. TT had 3 DB's injured in Cornelius Douglas, Tre Porter and Jarvis Phillips and UT QB David Ash hit 11-19-264. Texas went 71/9pl, 75/5pl, 75/1 on a td pass to Davis to score td's on their first 3 poss to lead 21-10. It was 24-13 at the half and UT had a 286-230 yd edge. TT pulled within 24-22 but went for 2 with 1:35 left in the 3Q and it failed. That meant when UT scored a td with 9:14 left, they were up 2 scores. TT appeared to get a td but it was called back on a hold and they settled for a 23 yd FG which UT blocked with 5:15 left and UT got 3 FD on a 42/9 drive running out the clock.
Duke clinched a bowl bid 2 weeks ago with a comeback vs North Carolina for their 6th victory. They were waxed the next week by Florida St, 48-7 but returned home to face Clemson. QB Sean Renfree was questionable coming in but hit 23-39-240 yds. Tajh Boyd hit 16-23-344 and guided CU to a 34-21 FD edge and 718-342 yd edge. The Tigers' top RB Andre Ellington missed most of the game with a hamstring injury that he re-aggravated on the first play. CU scored on their first 4 poss going 76/8pl, 75/4pl, 75/7pl and 80/7pl. They fumbled on their 5th but leading 28-17 on their 6th poss got a 41 yd TD pass going 72/5pl for a td. They were int'd on their next poss but then drove 84/5pl for a td and a 42-17 lead. CU had 6 td's and 3 TO's on their nine 1H poss with a 487-240 yd edge. CU had their 4th turnover on their opening drive of the 3Q but then went 69/10pl and 86/11pl for td's before backup QB Stoudt came in with 11:51 left in the game. CU punted and were SOD on their final 2 poss.
Oregon St only beat Arizona St by 10 and the FD's were even at 19. OSU could have easily won by more. Cody Vaz returned to the starting lineup and while he hit a pedestrian 14-33-267 yards, his 2 NFL caliber receivers, Brandon Cooks and Markus Wheaton (conc 1Q LW) both topped 100 yards. It was a poor start to the game for OSU. ASU did return DT Will Sutton. On the 3rd play, Vaz fumbled and ASU fell on it for a td, 7-0. ASU went 75/9pl for a 14-3 lead and later blocked a punt for safety and after the free kick drove 47/11 for a 31 yd FG to lead 19-10. Oregon St got a 53 yd td run in the 2Q and then got a 45 yd FG on the final play of the half to tie it at 19. OSU controlled the 2H going 52/5 for a td, 80/12pl for a td on their 3rd poss and on their 5th poss went 79/3pl with a 49 yd td pass to lead 36-19. ASU took over with 2:26 left, trailing by 17 and went 77/9pl getting a garbage td with :22 left.
USF finally stopped its school record six game losing streak but as has been the case all season, they didn't make it easy on themselves. USF suspended LB Sam Barrington for the game and he was the leading tackler and was cited by police for driving with a revoked license. Leading 7-0 USF was int'd in the EZ with 5:32 left in the half and Connecticut got a 50 yd FG on the 1H final play to pull within 7-3. USF had a 182-127 yd edge. CT went 67/16pl to open the 3Q and a 37 yd FG, 7-6. USF got a 50 yd FG with 4:26 left, 13-6 and CT25 went 53/10pl but from the USF22 was int'd at the 23 with :50 left on FD.
Oregon's Kenjon Barner stepped right into the Heisman chase with a school record 321 yards rushing vs USC. The amazing thing about the USC/Oregon game was not the two combining for 113 points, 68 FD's and 1,345 yards it's that there were plenty of points left off the board in the game. USC was the main culprit in blown scoring opportunities and it would cost them. Naturally the Ducks scored td's on their first 5 poss. USC had a td overturned and settled for a 39 yd FG then on 1&gl from the 8 was int'd in the EZ and that had them in a 17 pt deficit. UO missed a 41 yd FG then fumbled at the USC19. USC was going in for a td to pull within 34-31 but with :15 left in the half, fumbled from the UO15. UO had a 460-404 yd edge at the half. USC trailing 55-45 was SOD on its own 20 on 4&5 and on 3&12 Barner got a 22 yd td run to make it 62-45 and USC scored a td with :01 left capping a 65/7pl drive.
It was deja vu all over again in the Alabama/LSU matchup. Last year Bama at home dominated LSU in every phase of the game but blown opportunities on FG's cost them and they would end up losing at home. While LSU did not dominate Bama, they did finish with a 22-18 FD edge and had 435-259 yd edge before Alabama went on a 72/5 with 1:34 left for the game winning td. Unlike last year when the two teams played two games that combined for 1 td, this one had 5 td's. LSU has one of the most accurate K's in the country in Drew Alleman and he had a 38 yd FG early but his career long is 44 yards so when they lined up for a 47 yd FG late in the 2Q, they faked it, the first of many Les Miles gambles that backfired. They were stuffed for a -3 yard loss. Prior to the fake, LSU had gotten a FD at the Bama28 but a dead ball personal foul for a late hit on the LSU FB moved them back out of FG range. He let Alleman attempt a 54 yd FG and the kick was straight down the middle but well short of the upright and that came with 1:08 left 1H. Bama took advantage going 63/6pl and got a 9 yd td run for a td with :11 left, 14-3. LSU went 58/13 for a td to pull within 14-10 but gambled again with an onside kick and their K touched the ball a half yard short as the ball took a funny bounce. Bama fumbled at the LSU10. LSU went 90/7pl for a td and the lead, 17-14. Bama went 3&out on their next 2 poss. LSU gambled again, this time they passed up a 40 yd FG which would have put them up by 6 and went for it on 4&1 and their Wildcat QB, RB Ware, bobbled the snap and was tackled for no gain and they were stopped. LSU's next drive went 53/12. On 4&6 they lined up for a 45 yd FG which hooked left. Had they made the FG's, they would have locked up the win but as it was they only led by 3. Alabama went 72/5pl and got a 28 yd screen pass for a td with :51 left to pull out the win, 21-17 just when it looked like their National Championship hopes were dashed.
All of the major teams survived scares this past week and Kansas St was no exception. Oklahoma St QB Wes Lunt threw his 3rd int in the 3Q and left with an injury and Clint Chelf QB'd the rest of the way. Chelf hit 16-27-233 in his place and another QB you might have heard of, Collin Klein, left in the 3Q with injury. Daniel Sams hit 5-6-45 and ran 7 times for 20 yards. KSU got its first win over OSU since 2006. OSU had a 26-25 FD edge and 504-481 yd edge. The Cowboys opened with a 54 yd td pass to lead 7-0. KSU which punted on its first poss went 75/6pl and 74/11pl for a td and 23 yd FG. Then, after a fumble, went 29/5pl and KSU had a 5-0 TO edge. OSU settled for a 25 yd FG and then each team got a KR td to make it 24-17. The key play happened with 2:35 left in the half. OSU had the ball down by 7, when Lunt was int'd and returned 29 yds for a td, 31-17. At the half, KSU did have a 258-198 yd edge. KSU extended it to 41-20 but OSU battled back to 44-30 and had the ball at the KSU8 when Chelf was int'd in the EZ for a tb on 2&6 with 2:06 left.
Boise St only had a 276-269 yd edge and San Diego St's special teams set up 2 of their td's. SDSt won their 5th straight game, their longest win streak since 1995. They returned the opening KO 100 yds for a td and Boise went on a 68/12pl drive for a td but missed the xp, 7-6. BSU went 92/11pl incl a 4&4, 7 yd pass to the SDSt22 and 3pl later had a 16 yd td run, 13-7 At the half, BSU was in command with a 176-96 yd edge. Another key play happened when SDSt blocked a punt and recovered at the 8. They got a td 2pl later and on 8 yards offense, they had manufactured 2 td's due to special teams and led 14-13. SDSt took over with 3:36 left in the 3Q and went 80/10pl and on 4&gl got a 1 yd TD run, 21-13. BSU went 75/16pl but after a 1 yd td pass the 2 pt failed with 5:35 left. SDSt took over at their 22 and got 1 FD and on 3&13, another FD then went for it on 4&2 with 1:50 left and got a 13 yd run and a personal foul moved it all the way to the BSU37 and they took a knee.
Jonathan Franklin became UCLA's career rushing leader as he rushed for 162 yds on 24 carries. Arizona was off its big upset of USC the previous week and was in the rankings at #25 and maybe had a few too many people patting them on the back. The final score sums the game up at 66-10 as UCLA had a 36-18 FD edge and 611-257 yd edge but was even stronger at the half. UCLA had a 371-83 yd edge and led 42-3. UA QB Scott was injured on the 3rd series of the 2H but they were already down 45-10. UCLA would get two 4Q td's on 72/8pl and 60/12pl drives and was even SOD on 4&gl at the 2 when they were tackled at the 1 with 1:36 left or would have had 73 points.

Prince Boots Kardashian, But Who Was That On Stage Before?
Making the rounds both on TV and the web this week is a video clip from a Prince concert at Madison Square Garden Monday night in which the pop star kicks reality starlet Kim Kardashian off the stage when she suddenly gets shy and won't dance.
But did you notice who showed her moves on stage just before Kardashian's lame showing? It was none other than NBCU Chief Diversity Officer Paula Madison. If you didn't notice, well her old place of business sure did, as the KNBC 11 p.m. news Tuesday night gave a shout-out to Madison, who before landing her C-level title ran the station from 2000-2007.
Madison totally held her own in the spotlight, especially compared to usually attention-grabbing Kardashian, who just stood there clapping, leading to the diminutive singer tossing her off the stage. Ironically, Madison and Kardashian are almost co-workers, now that Comcast controls NBCU (Kardashian's show airs on E!, a Comcast net).
Can we expect a dance-off rematch at the next office party? Here's hoping…
Watch the clip below:

Victory represented a fairytale moment for the modest northwest club and their chairman, Dave Whelan, who punched the air with delight at the final whistle, after a shock that stands comparison with Wimbledon's 1988 success over Liverpool.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez celebrated with his players on the pitch as the Latics temporarily forgot their perilous fate in the Premier League, where they are on the brink of relegation.
Football: Frank Lampard beat Bobby Tambling's Chelsea record of 202 goals when he scored twice in their 2-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa.
England international Lampard struck in the 61st minute at Villa Park when he collected a pass from Eden Hazard, shifted the ball onto his left foot and let fly from some 15 yards.
His goal drew the visitors level at 1-1 after both sides had had a man sent-off in Ramires (Chelsea) and Christian Benteke, who opened the scoring for Villa.
Lampard then added a second 88 minutes to give Chelsea the lead going into stoppage time.
Third-placed Chelsea now have a six-point advantage over Tottenham, who have a game in hand in fifth, but have a superior goal difference over their London rivals of 17 goals.
Formula One: Nico Rosberg secured his third career pole position as Mercedes completed a hat-trick of qualifying successes – and then warned that he is worried his tyres will let him down in tonight's Spanish Grand Prix.
The 27-year-old German led the way as his team locked out the front row of Saturday's grid but he was immediately concerned afterwards that he does not endure a repeat of his problems at last month's Bahrain Grand Prix where he limped home ninth.
"I had a really good lap at the end and it is great motivation for the team but we have to be cautious because of what happened in Bahrain," he warned.
Rosberg clocked a dazzling best lap time of one minute and 20.718 seconds to outpace his nearest rival and Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton by two-tenths of a second.
After poles secured by Hamilton in China and Rosberg in Bahrain, this was a magnificent treble top for the resurgent Mercedes outfit as they outclassed their rivals at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Cycling: Former Tour de France winner Cadel Evans rose to second in the overall standings of the Giro d'Italia with a solid performance in the individual time trial.
Evans managed seventh fastest time, 39 seconds behind British winner Alex Dowsett who clocked 1hr 16min 27sec.
Fellow Australian Luke Durbridge was sixth at 35sec.
Vincenzo Nibali took over the leader's pink jersey by finishing fourth at 21sec.
The Italian leads BMC rider Evans by 29 seconds overall.
Cricket: Graeme Swann and Tim Bresnan were both recalled by England cricket selectors in a 12-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand following their respective recoveries from elbow surgery.
National selector Geoff Miller urged the hosts to play to their potential when they face New Zealand in a two-Test series starting at Lord's on Thursday.
Alastair Cook's men encountered unexpected resistance during their recent series in New Zealand, where all three Tests were drawn.
And it was the Kiwis who so nearly took the honours, coming within one wicket of victory in the third Test at Auckland two months ago only for England wicket-keeper Matt Prior to defy them with an unbeaten hundred.
England first Test squad:
Alastair Cook (capt), Nick Compton, Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Jonathan Bairstow, Matt Prior (wkt), Graeme Swann, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Steven Finn, Tim Bresnan
Surfing: Tyler Wright grabbed the lead in the women's surfing world championship with victory over fellow Australian Sally Fitzgibbons in the fifth event of the year in Brazil.
Wright won the final with a two-wave score of 17.80 points out of 20 to Fitzgibbon's 15.67 in punchy one-metre waves at Barra da Tijuca in Rio.
The NSW surfer now has a lead of 1800 points over second-placed Hawaiian Carissa Moore.
Fitzgibbons climbed from fourth to third in the standings, having accounted for Moore, the 2011 world champion, in the semi-finals.
Tennis: Bernard Tomic has pulled out of next week's Rome Masters as his father fights an assault charge in a Spanish court.
Tomic, the ATP's number 53, was missing from the draw for the crucial French Open warm-up which starts tonight in the Italian capital.
John Tomic is due to appear again at a Madrid court facing charges of assaulting his son's practice partner in the Spanish capital last week.
Tennis: Rafael Nadal reached a seventh consecutive final since returning from a seven-month injury layoff with 6-0 6-4 win over compatriot Pablo Andujar at the Madrid Masters.
The 26-year-old will next face Stanislas Wawrinka who beat Tomas Berdych 6-3 4-6 6-4.
World number 113 Andujar was blown away in the opening set, winning just nine points, as Nadal broke three times to take it 6-0.
Victory extended Nadal's incredible run to 31-2 since returning from the tendinitis problem in his knee.
Rugby union: Captain Luke Watson scored two first-half tries before his Southern Kings clung on grimly for a 34-27 win over fellow Super Rugby strugglers the Highlanders.
No.8 Cornell du Preez and scrumhalf Shaun Venter also went over for the South Africans in the second 40 in a spell of 21 unanswered points that delivered a third win in their debut season.
Backs Shaun Treeby and Hosea Gear struck with tries late on to secure a four-try bonus point and put the Highlanders within a converted try of a draw, but time ran out and the Kings celebrated with huge relief and joy at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Rugby union: Only world series champions New Zealand went unbeaten on the first day of rugby's London Sevens at Twickenham.
The Kiwis, who clinched their 11th series in 14 seasons the previous weekend in the Glasgow Sevens, easily beat Canada and Wales in their pool but found themselves 17-0 down at halftime to Kenya.
They won 31-17, with Kurt Baker and David Raikuna – yellow-carded in the first half – scoring two tries each.
In pursuit of a first London title since 2007, New Zealand will play Argentina in the quarter-finals on Sunday.
Defending champions Fiji meet Kenya, England tackle South Africa, and Australia play the United States.
Hosts England looked the most impressive side early on, thrashing third-ranked Fiji 27-0 and fourth-ranked Samoa 34-7 in front of a world record sevens crowd of 71,898.
But it all unravelled in the last game of the day, a 26-17 loss to Argentina.
England still topped the pool on points difference, and Fiji scraped into the last eight with a 33-7 defeat of Samoa.
Australia topped the other pool, beating the United States and France after losing to second-ranked South Africa 5-0.

As we mark World Suicide Prevention Day 2015, I offer you the submission below received last week. The author speaks to why opening up about mental health struggles is not an option for far too many. Despite initiatives like Bell Let's Talk, we'll only ever truly achieve suicide prevention when stigma is no longer a consideration.
On this World Suicide Prevention Day, let's keep in our thoughts those who lost the struggle, and those who battle on every day. – JF
"Dear Bell: I Would Love to Talk, but I Can't.
Personally, I think the initiatives like Bell's Let's Talk are important. When people like Clara Hughes or Elizabeth Manley or Catherine Zita-Jones step up and speak about their own struggle with depression, I can't say how important that can be.
Larger than life personalities and successful people all, they have struggled – continue to struggle – with depression.
But I am not a larger than life personality or media personality. I am an average person living his average life and, although I would love to talk openly and frankly about my own struggle with clinical depression, I can't.
Why? Because I fear being labeled and marginalized even more.
To begin with, you would be very hard pressed to spot me as a person living with depression. There is no scarlet letter, no band-aid, no cast.
I live a successful life with a beautiful spouse, two beautiful children, in a beautiful home. I have a successful career. By all of society's measurements, I am a lucky, happy guy.
But I am haunted. Not a day goes by when I don't think about killing myself (by hanging usually), there are parts of my home I don't like to be in (my garage, my basement) because that is where I would kill myself. I've tested various objects around my home (ropes, skipping ropes) to see if they would "do the job".
Sometimes the thought is fleeting and sometimes I think about it for hours. Sometimes it is the very first thing I think when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed at night.
And, perhaps unbelievable to some, this is an improvement over where I was 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, I worked in a very public position giving speeches, organizing events and appearing in the paper three times a week. Ironically, I was involved in health care – and a part of it was mental health care.
Privately, my life was a living hell. Between meetings, I wept for hours. I spent my days curled up in a ball on my office floor sleeping just to get through the day. My mind would race. I would go between wanting to die, thinking I was going to die and planning to die. I would beg God to tell me why this had happened to me.
I know – it makes me sound like I am nuts – and I was (or am) and this is all true.
All of my waking energy was poured into project normalcy to the people around me – my family, my co-workers, the public. It was exhausting.
I was surrounded by doctors, by all the best care there could be but I would not reach out. I was panic-stricken, paranoid. I feared that I would be fired, discredited, ruined, destroyed.
Eventually, the wheels fell off.
I was at my desk, sitting there with my dead down looking at the floor, when I called a friends and croaked into the phone: "It's over. My life is over and I am going to die."
It took a month to get to a doctor – one with no connections to my employer – and then two days to see a psychiatrist. They saved my life.
I was diagnosed ten years ago as a bipolar type 2 – a split bipolar – and medicated.
Even more remarkable was the determination that I most likely have lived with the condition since I was 13 years old. I was diagnosed when I was 40 years old.
Very few people know. My children do not know. My in-laws. Most of my friends and all of my professional colleagues do not know.
In those ten years, I have accomplished a lot of great things – a new career, seeing my children grow, events that I would of missed if I had died.
But still, those thoughts haunt me.
What kind of healthy person wishes they would die? They don't. And, quite honestly, unless you have lived this – an actual clinically diagnosed depression – you have no idea how bad it can be.
It can cripple the strongest person you know.
So, why not talk? Well, it's shame really. Its fear.
For example, I fear that work opportunities – promotions – would be closed to me. Prospects for other positions closed as well. Employers don't want a "unstable' person on staff.
Also, everyone is an expert on mental health. They tell you to snap out of it or think happy thoughts. Trust me, if it was a matter of thinking happy thoughts I would have done that a long time ago.
So you live in fear and in shame. You deal with the days when you want to die and put the hammer down and just keep going. Sometimes you go to bed and sleep it off. Whatever works best that day.
There are days when I fear being alone. Sometimes I force myself out just to be around people. Sometimes I withdraw completely for fear of someone finding out.
When I do tell people my story, they sit there absolutely stunned. They can not believe what I am telling them. All the exterior markings – the success, the material goods, the happy person they know – laid to waste in the fact that I am – at times – hopelessly depressed, moved to thoughts of self-harm.
I would love to tell more people that story but until I know there is a net to catch me I won't.
Let's talk? Absolutely, but not right now.
People like Clara Hughes and Liz Manley and Catherine Zita-Jones can speak from the safety of success, but I can't.
Not quite yet that is. Maybe when I land on my feet for good, I'll talk then.
– A Friend."

What to make of the recent suggestion by China's central bank that the U.S. dollar should be replaced by a new reserve currency?
Two words: fat chance
It's an intriguing idea -- details on that in just a bit -- but a funny thing happened shortly thereafter. When Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner seemed to momentarily countenance the notion late last month, the dollar swooned, dipping dramatically before Geithner walked his "reasonable, it's-worth-considering" response all the way back to the currency-traders' happy place. Additional reassurance later in the day also comforted the dollar market.
All told, despite the fact that implementing such a move could doom the dollar, the stock market rose throughout all this back and forth … and back. Shares of companies that rely heavily on foreign suppliers such as Wal-Mart
How's that again?
Currency arithmetic seems -- and in some respects is -- exotic. Still, the basic principle behind the dynamic sketched above is straightforward. Let's say there's a 1:1 relationship between the U.S. dollar and, um, the Freedonian groucho. If a U.S. exporter wants to sell a $100 item into the Freedonian market, the purchaser there will have to pony up 100 grouchos to seal the deal.
If, however, the dollar slips and becomes worth, say, just $0.90 relative to the groucho, that's effectively a 10% price cut.
You can see how this would work in reverse, of course, with the products we import becoming more expensive as the dollar grows weaker. And also of course, we are (and have been) on an importing bender, with 2008's trade deficit -- a figure that sums the dollar difference between the goods and services we purchase from abroad and those we sell overseas -- weighing in at a fat and unhappy $680 billion.
Which, of course, is why the dollar is doomed.
Doomed, I tell you!
Despite an impressive bear-market rally over the last six weeks or so, almost nothing fundamental has changed about our big economic picture. Unemployment remains around 8.5%, consumer confidence, personal income, and spending remain moribund, contributing to what is becoming a bout of deflation. Business spending is also comatose, and after showing some promise, retail sales have recently disappointed, coming in well below the market's expectations last week.
A sagging economy, combined with massive recovery spending and a large trade deficit is likely to weigh on the dollar.
That's not necessarily a bad thing ...
A weaker dollar would make U.S. goods more attractive both at home and abroad, benefiting domestic companies with significant overseas business such as Procter & Gamble
Combined with the government's outsized spending plan, such a move would pack a one-two punch to pull us out of this looming deflationary spiral and lead, eventually, to a virtuous cycle: increased spending begets increased production, which begets increased job creation, which allows for more spending, leading to increased production, which leads to ...
Well, you get the picture
You can bet the authorities tasked with repairing this economy are aware of these dynamics. China's artificial low-yuan-strong-dollar policy has been criticized for years for wreaking havoc on our trade deficit, and the administration recently backed off on its prior criticism, in part because China has finally allowed the dollar to depreciate.
And savvy investors should be on the lookout for signs that perhaps the secretary's gaffe wasn't a gaffe at all -- but a gambit. It might have been a subtle rhetorical move in a currency chess game that -- for both political and practical reasons -- can't be played with the kind of transparency Geithner's boss generally favors.
To be sure, there are clear risks to a weak-dollar strategy. It would make imports less attractive, and it could artificially prop up industries that don't deserve the support. A weaker dollar could eventually lead to higher prices as well, since more dollars would be required to buy the same amount of goods.
Those are risks well worth running, though, at least temporarily.
Make your move
No matter which way the dollar or the coded currency conversation heads, investors can profit by devising a portfolio strategy generally well-insulated from shocks to the dollar, while making modest-size moves in the direction policy seems to dictate.
So even if, unlike me, you don't suspect that a weaker dollar will be accepted as part of the government's overall stimulus plan, the latest recommendation of the Fool's flagship Stock Advisor service should appear at the top of your watch list.

Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his, you're on to -
But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope, you burn up
Tomorrow, he may turn up
There's just no let-up
The livelong night and day
Ever since this world began,
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time
When he went away,
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away,
Old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
My mama done tol' me
When I was in pigtails,
My mama done tol' me,
"Hon, a man's gonna sweet-talk
And give ya the big eye,
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night"
Now, the rain's a-fallin',
Hear the train a-callin', "Whooee!"
My mama done tol' me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
My mama done tol' me
Ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze will start
The trees to cryin'
And the moon will hide it's light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word
The mockingbird'll sing
The saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow
I' been in some big towns
I heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night
My mama was right
I know she was right
There's blues in the night

Kadyanda (or Cadianda) is an amazing set of Hellenistic and Roman remains in the Turkish hills. Tucked away amongst the trees, there are a surprising number of large features still surviving.
Archaeological sites in Turkey aren't always well signposted, and indeed the hillsides around Kadyanda are littered with unmarked remains, especially of Lycian tombs. Kadyanda itself has a couple of information boards, and a well-marked footpath which takes a circular route around the ruins.
The views on the hike up were pretty impressive, too:
The ancient stadium still retains some of its seating, and although there are one or two trees in what would have been the competition track, you can pretty much imagine what it would have been like to watch an event here.
It's always advisable to watch your footing when scrambling around near ancient remains, but one area where it's particularly important in Kadyanda is around the Roman cisterns. Nothing more than a slight dip in the ground warns you of the holes in the ground, here - holes big enough that you could easily break a leg. In the UK these would definitely be marked off with fences, at the very least, but in Turkey the cisterns were completely unmarked. On the plus side, this meant my dad could lower his camera in to get some shots of the otherwise-inaccessible interiors (below).
There's also an impressive theatre which, as far as we could tell, was still in the process of being excavated, as many layers of steps were covered in rubble.
Here are a few more photos of the site:
