While the National Association of Home Builders finds that home remodeling is at its highest level since 2005, homeowners are still being understandably cautious with their investments. The good news is that no matter the size of your budget, there are cost-effective ways to update your kitchen to revitalize the center of your home.
1. Yes, you can update your cabinets
The most dramatic change you can make in your kitchen is to update the cabinetry. But for many, the thought of new cabinetry equates to a budget breaker. According to Sarah Reep, design lead for QualityCabinets, it certainly doesn't have to be. "The key is to do your homework and find a brand that offers the trifecta of style, function and affordability," says Reep.
To keep pace with consumer requests and spending, QualityCabinets recently expanded its budget-friendly Woodstar line to include additional in-demand finish options, door styles and accessible design features. "Homeowners want to stay on budget without compromising on style or function. We designed this line so they don't have to," says Reep.
2. Set the stage with a beautiful backsplash
Another affordable way to make a statement is by updating or adding a backsplash. "A backsplash is a subtle way to update your kitchen. Choose clean white subway tiles or add some drama with interesting patterns or colorful glass tiles," advises Reep. Home improvement stores like Lowe's or The Home Depot carry DIY tile kits in a variety of colors that are fairly simple to install yourself. Additionally, stylish, removable tile decals can help jazz up your walls quickly without the cost and commitment of tile.
3. Everything but the kitchen sink
Not quite. The sink is one of the most frequently used features in a kitchen but easily ignored. Updating your kitchen sink to serve as a focal point of the room can do wonders for your space. A beautiful apron-front sink or sleek new faucet can create a dramatic update to your kitchen and provide that attention-grabbing "wow" factor. Pair it with a new coat of paint or light fixtures that complement your design vision and you'll be amazed by what you can accomplish.

City leaders are trying to rein in a recent construction trend that puts big, multi-story homes on undersized lots.
South Seattle
Seattle police say a burglary spree involving three dozen break-ins is now a top priority for detectives.
Mayor Ed Murray held a first-ever summit on police reforms and says the meeting led to a breakthrough agreement on how to move forward.
Officers nabbed a 23-year-old purse-snatcher armed with a realistic-looking BB gun Monday morning near Rainier Beach High School, according to the Seattle Police Department. But, his two suspected accomplices got away.
Police are always warning citizens not to leave their cars unattended while warming them up on cold winter mornings. And, today brings another example of why that's a bad idea.
A 16-year-old girl was arrested Thursday night in connection with a number of robberies that occurred earlier this year, according to the Seattle Police Department.
They say love hurts, but this is ridiculous. According to the Seattle Police Department, a group of six would-be robbers told their victim they loved him just before viciously assaulting him last Wednesday outside his South Seattle apartment.
Seattle musicians Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took home four Grammy Awards on Sunday night; a self-guided walking tour – highlighting locations from the "Thrift Shop," "Can't Hold Us," and "White Walls" videos – was published Monday morning.
Shots were fired Tuesday night near the Van Asselt Community Center in South Seattle less than a week after an 18-year-old man walked into the community center with two gunshot wounds.
Kids may be getting mixed messages about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, now that voters in Washington State have decriminalized pot for adults and privatized liquor.
An SUV crashed into a gas pump Monday afternoon in South Seattle, critically injuring a man who standing there refueling his car, police say. A second person also was hurt.
Two elderly women were leaving a Buddhist temple Saturday afternoon in South Seattle when they were pistol-whipped and robbed by two purse-snatchers, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Fridays are 'spirit days' at Kimball Elementary and kids are encouraged to wear jerseys to support their favorite teams. But Kimball is also an urban school with a heavy immigrant population, where more than half the students qualify for free or reduced lunches. Jerseys here are a luxury, not a necessity.
A pilot, who was part of a daring rescue mission to save 'Captain Phillips' and his crew after Somali pirates attacked their cargo ship, shared his story on Saturday with visitors at the Museum of Flight where one of the aircrafts involved in the rescue mission is now on display.
An 18-year-old man walked into a South Seattle community center Wednesday evening with two gunshot wounds and is now refusing to cooperate with detectives, according to the Seattle Police Department.

Hello, Ron,
I am not sure what your connection is with Elisha Payne, or Hamilton, NY. Yesterday while on a Findagrave volunteer photo shoot at the Madison Street Cemetery here in Hamilton, I also took photos of the various monuments for Elisha, plus cleaned up and trimmed around his ground flat monument over the grave. I discovered the Findagrave.com web page for Madison Street Cemetery has a limit of photos allowed. I would like to offer you my photos in the event you might like to use any of them. Not that your submitted photos were not nice, but in the event you would like to use any of mine.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Ron,
Memorial Day 2012
"From the president of the United States and grateful Nation."
I remember the words so clearly as they handed my Mother the flag. I had never heard those words before that. As I stood there on that cold November Day, thoughts came swirling in my head. I flashed back to my fathers entire demeanor. How he organized his clothing drawers were. How he lived with honor, how military he was. How he had wanted to be in the National Cemetery and I was so against it.
It was like it was all coming together in my head, I was seeing experiences known only to those understanding military tradition.
He was part of this white sea of headstones belonging to the men and women who valiantly defended our nation. His military back bone had always been there.
He served as a Chaplin ministering to Vets at the Minneapolis Veterans Hospital for years. He was on the honor guard for awhile. He gave blood routinely as he was AB negative, the rarest blood type in the world. Many nights he would get a 2 am call and out the door he would go to give blood because someone was in need. It took me years to understand what a military man is. He lived our nation and preserving it's goodness my entire life.
Memorial Day means so many different things to our society. The start of summer, picnics, it is the official end of winter where I live.
To veterans it is a time of reflection, of their courage, sacrifices, pride and loss. My son has lost 2 friends to the Iraq war, and another that came back severely injured and is struggling with his injuries and each day is a gift as those days are slipping away from him.
Memorial Day we bring into memory those that have fought for our freedom. I would like to thank you, for your Father, Son, daughter, husband, ancestor, or maybe even you, for the scarifies your families have endured to keep America out of harms way.
That as we begin Memorial Day 2012 our families remain strong and we are enduring together what our nation is all about....
"First in WAR ... First in PEACE ... and First in the HEARTS of his countrymen."
George Washington.

Tata R3: Nakamura grabs lead in A, McShane wins third
Hikaru Nakamura grabbed the lead in the A group of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament on Monday. The American grandmaster beat Alexei Shirov and is the only player on 2.5/3. Magnus Carlsen blundered and lost against Anish Giri. In the B group Luke McShane from England won this third game.
General info
The Tata Steel Chess Tournament is held from Friday, January 14th till Sunday, January 30th, 2011 in Wijk aan Zee, The Netherlands. Besides many amateur events there are three Grandmaster Groups (A, B and C), all 14-player round-robins. All rounds begin at 13.30 CET, except for the last which begins at 12.00 hours. There are three rest days: on January 19th, 24th, and 27th. The time control is 100 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the remaining moves with 30 seconds increment for each move starting from the first move. More info here.
Round 3
The third round of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament started with a bang. Theoretically it might be impossible, but it was a reality between human beings: the world's highest rated player lost in just 22 moves to the player who promoted from the B group last year. But, we're not talking about just a player, we're talking about one of most talented grandmasters on the planet: Anish Giri from The Netherlands. Still, a decisive result after such a short game needed something more: a big blunder from Magnus Carlsen.
Giri had reacted well to Carlsen's funny 11th move, and in the following position Black is already clearly better.
Wijk aan Zee 2011
White should give a pawn with 20.Nd4 Qxd5 21.Qe2 and hope for the best. The game was immediately decided after 20.Ng5?? e3! and the knight on g5 hangs. The game continued 21.Qb2 (attacking the other knight) and now Giri's second Vladimir Chuchelov immediately spotted 21...Na4! watching the game on a TV screen in the press room: "It's completely over!" When Giri played 21...Qxg5 he quickly assured himself with an engine at one of the present laptops that his pupil was still winning - in fact Giri had found the 'human' way of keeping the extra piece. His idea was to win pretty after 22.Qxb6 with
22...e2! 23.Re1 Qxc1! 24.Rxc1 e1Q+ 25.Rxe1 Rxe1+ 26.Bf1 Bh3 and, a queen up, White gets mated.
In the game Carlsen resigned after 22.Bxe3 Qg4! attacking the rook on d1. His short comment after the game: "I just missed 20...e3. It's as simple as that." Later he would tweet: "Always nice to confirm that I'm still capable of blundering a piece in one move!"
Giri was asked to do the press conference, which we filmed and will publish later today in a separate post. (You can watch it here already.)
Anish Giri: a welcome gift from the world's highest rated player
But this wouldn't be the only big story of the day. Many hours later Hikaru Nakamura from the USA won his second game. He beat Alexei Shirov and thus grabbed the sole lead in the standings.
"I was probably winning after the opening but instead of winning in a couple of hours, I misplayed it and won after seven hours." Still, at the start of the 4th round the American will receive the daily 500-euro "Piet Zwart Prize" for the best game of the round, named after the former Hoogovens tournament director.
Wijk aan Zee 2011
Thanks to a nice tactic Shirov managed to prolong the game:
42...Bxd5! winning back a pawn because after 43.exd5? Rxe3 44.Kf1 Kg6 White cannot move anything and might even be lost! In the end this didn't save the game for Shirov.
The other winner of the day was Ruslan Ponomariov. He surprised Jan Smeets with a rare line of the Winawer, to get his opponent out of his - already famous - preparation. It worked out well, because Smeets had spent an hour on the clock already at move 11. Still, the Dutchman felt his loss had been "stupid", as he "just dropped a pawn". That was 14.c4 of course, allowing quite a simple trick indeed. Here's Ponomariov's comment afterwards:
The draws between Vachier-Lagrave and Aronian, and Nepomniachtchi and Grischuk were rather uneventful. Playing White, last seeded player Erwin l'Ami did surprisingly well against World Champion Vishy Anand. He got a promising position, but at some point his advantage vanished. Still, an excellent result for l'Ami, who is making is debut in the A group. Here's his comment after the game:
In the B group the 250-euro day prize was awarded to Poland's Radek Wojtaszek. He inflicted another loss upon China's Li Chao, in aggressive style. Luke McShane increased his lead to a full point with a third consecutive win against Vlad Tkatchiev.
The best possible start for Luke McShane in group B
Daniele Vocaturo from Italy won the the 100-euro day prize in Group C for his win against top seed Murtas Kazhgaleyev (Kazakhstan). Vocturo shares first place in the group with Katherina Lahno of the Ukraine.
The C group's day prize went to Daniele Vocaturo

So you are rated 2814, you play with white against a scrub with 2686. Opening goes fine, early middle as well and then suddenly you drop a whole piece.
I hope to see a video explanation soon, i was shocked
3 years 3 months ago
They're humans, not machines, so I'm pretty sure the explanation is a "black spot". He just didn't see it. Brains do that sometimes.
Of course it is shocking and it's rare on this level, but it happens.
3 years 3 months ago
hehe, I don't think it was a "black spot", he might be mind-absent
3 years 3 months ago
I remember Kramnik not seeing a mate in one in his match against fritz.
I don't think he was dreaming of modeling then. As far as I know, Morozevitsch and Topalov are also not earn for their living my modeling. Blundering seems not to be so uncommon on top level as many here suggest.
Giri a scrub. lol! Maybe your brain needs a scrub! Giri is actually very good.
Go Naka!
Naka! Naka! Naka!
@arkan: How dare you call Giri a scrub, especially after he smoked Carlsen's little ass today.
Giri is great i just fail to understand how it's possible Carlsen can screw up that badly and enuxplainably against a player he should beat anyday everyday
You underestimate Giri, he is way too strong for anyone (even MC) to beat '' anyday everyday'' . In fact Giri's future may be brighter than Carlsen's since they are almost as talented but Giri seems to work harder for it and he's not distracted by side affairs.
3 years 3 months ago
Giri is a very promising talent, love to see him comment analyse etc..
And right now it does not make sence and not important who will be better 5 years later. We as chessfuns want to see both (Carlsen and Giri) at the chess sceen with high performances to get pleasure from their games.
But the result of this game is not that much related to the talent of Giri.
Carlsen blundered!.. Which I think what is more important for this game.
I suppose Carlsen and his father must find a more professional approach to chess of this great guy. That is what Kasparov always complain about: Carlsen's lack of high concentration on chess studies, dicipline etc.
You're right, I mentioned that before that Carlsen was a "lazy" player and got only thumbs down. However Fischer was once in love in a tournement - in South America I believe and he ended 13th! I still Magnus has it but I don't think he's very focused these days. Besides it's the first time he lost with white to a younger person. I hope that will shake him up
Giri is much stronger and more focused than people think. If you see his analyses, you'll find that he has a keen mind and he is hungry for chess. He is personable and seems to be a very interesting person. Very refreshing!
It seems to me that Giri is like 2750 strength, at least. GM Mueller said he played the endgame "perfectly" in his first round draw against l'Ami.

Yes Anish Giri seems to have a more of a personality than Carlsen.

I'm beginning to wish McShane had been invited to the A Group...;)

In the past Carlsen had his share of lucky wins. Numerous times he won because of bad continuations of his opponents in winning positions. I don't understand the many supporters of him. Too bad for him he doesn't participate in the world championship cycle. Because in the next cycle Giri is already stronger than him! And also it's much more fun to listen to Giri's interviews than Carlsen's. Giri has much more humor, already at the age of 16.

Carlsen is an idiot. He thinks he is too good to play in the Candidates matches - but doesn't have the sheer invincibility of a Kasparov to back it up.
Stop being such a drama queen Magnus, and focus on the chess.
3 years 3 months ago
At this rate, if Carlsen keeps focusing on his career as a corporate spokesperson instead of his chess he will be irrelevant by the time the next WCC cycle rolls around. Honestly, I really liked him and supported him whole-heartedly, but with his recent decision to turn his back on chess professionally, I'm not sure how long he can continue to lead his double life and convincingly play elite level chess.

So sad to see Le, Quang Liem almost winning that game, and finally throwing the whole point.
Unbelievable! Crushing loss.
3 years 3 months ago
haha like no one voted anand would win.. he was 3rd!!.. hope he kicks some ass... today's game was totally cool against hao.
So what? Could even be that Carlsen has lost interest in chess, who knows? He wanted to be a soccer player once before chess. Now he maybe wants something else. Anyway 2011 will not be his year, I'm afraid. Unless he really focuses on chess only.

zahar-ganguly Grp B. what a game !?! Hope someone annotates some of it....

Carlsen loses one game and he's written off. (Never mind the London Classic.) Giri wins and he's the next Carlsen. Yep.
True, we cant help being a bit opportunistic, its just that MC loses quite often these days. A player of his calibre shouldnt lose that often....Anand for example barely loses. Im not saying that Magnus wont win this tournament but he loses too often.
We don't know who the next worldchampion will be, but Giri is the new kid for sure! And Carlsen has to take care or he will end up as the new Ivanchuk!
What, be hugely popular and in the top-10 for twenty years? There are fates worse than Ivanchuk's :-)

Maybe MC is in love, he is at an age that this could effect his performance...
3 years 3 months ago
Could very well be.
But age has nothing to do with it.
When you are in love, it affects you deeply. No matter your age.

As someone had asked about the prize fund ... it's not secret but mentioned in the "newspaper" that's freely distributed at the tournament venue and probably some other places [I heard they printed 75,000 copies].
For group A, first prize is 10,000€, second prize 7,000€, ... seventh prize 1,300€, other players get 100€ per point scored. In group B, it's 3,000-350€ or 50€ per point. In group C, 1,000-200€ or 25€ per point. Obviously, (secret) appearance fees must be at least comparable.
The newspaper, a great new idea this year, has many little stories on what happens behind the scenes. They could put it on the Web, but maybe it's too much to translate it all from Dutch, or they want that people visiting onsite get some extra information :) . If anyone has specific questions, maybe the answer is there (and I'll translate/summarize on request). I will post the story behind the press conferences in a minute in a dedicated thread.
Yesterday Naka fought from a slight advantage to a win against Shirov. Today the shoe was on the other foot-- he fought from a slight disadvantage to a draw against Giri. Win lose or draw, Naka is a great fighter. I also love seeing a Japanese-American in the world top ten! It's just good for chess if it seems like a truly global sport without boundaries. Such diverse players also help to proliferate chess into other media markets. I am also rooting for Le Quang Liem and Wesley So. This tournament is awesome-- so much fascinating chess from so many great players! And Tiviakov is not in there trying to make 14 straight draws. :) What a great time to be a chess fan, from any country. Thanks for the coverage ChessVibes.

What have you been doing to improve your health in the past year?
Since announcing I have type 2 diabetes last year, I've been making small changes to improve my health, and I've seen big results. Now, by sharing the changes I've made to manage my disease, I want to encourage those of you with type 2 diabetes to walk in my footsteps and make one small change to better control your disease. This change could be eating healthier, getting more exercise, working to lower your blood sugar or talking to your doctor about your medication.
What are some things you have learned over the past year?
I've learned that small changes can go a long way and have a big impact on diabetes management. I've been eating healthier and have recreated some of my favorite recipes to make them diabetes-friendly.
I also exercise more and stay on top of my blood sugar levels. I try to keep stress to a minimum and have found it's helpful to surround myself with positivity. I make sure I do what I love – my newest favorite hobbies are watercolors, shelling or planting in my garden.
How have you been altering your daily diet?
I've been changing the design of my plate. I've learned that what's on my plate and portion size are real important. I'm careful about how many carbs I eat and I make sure to double up on my veggies at every meal.
What is the best piece of advice you can give to someone who is trying to manage their type 2 diabetes?
Make exercise part of your daily routine. I walk about a mile a day on the treadmill and around my neighborhood. I used to hate exercise but now my sneakers have never seen so much action. This makes me feel healthy and gives me the boost that I need.
How do you work with your doctor?
It's been real helpful to work closely with my doctor to understand my blood sugar levels and make sure that I'm on the right medication. I also make sure to take my medication as prescribed. This helps me stay on track with my regimen and ensure my diabetes is under control.
Visit www.DiabetesinaNewLight.com to learn more about the changes Paula is making toward living a healthy well-balanced life. There, you can also find delicious and diabetes-friendly recipes that Paula, and her sons Bobby and Jamie, have been whipping up as part of Diabetes in a New Light(R) as well as helpful tips and resources for managing type 2 diabetes.

"Unshackled!" is radio drama produced in a unique way. As it has been since 1945 writers, actors, and musicians combine to create a dramatic presentation that demonstrates the power of God to reach and change man. Today, "Unshackled!" is still produced very much as it has always been. Original music is still woven "live" through the story at the time of production. Sound effects occur as the story unfolds before an appreciative live audience. "Unshackled!" is a ministry of Pacific Garden Mission. Known as the Old Lighthouse Pacific Garden Mission has since 1877 preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to lost men and women of the street while at the same time meeting their material and physical needs. To support this ministry write: Unshackled, 1458 S. Canal, Chicago IL 60607 or call 312-492-9410 and be sure to tell them you listen on Bott Radio Network.

The author of Super Dragon Bros Z invites you to Amilova booth for signings on Thursday and Saturday.
Signing sessions at Amilova booth
Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Born in Compiègne in 1986, Berrizo illustrates Super Dragon Bros Z which is a parody of Dragon Ball including Mario Bros and other Nintendo characters. He always liked drawing since he was a child but he never had the chance to study art. One day he offered to draw a special chapter for Dragon Ball Multiverse, a webcomic created by the scenarist Salagir (associated with Amilova). After that, Salagir offers him to draw for a scenario he had in mind, supposed to be a simple parody of Dragon Ball. Berrizo joins this Amilova project in 2011 and accepts the challenge without knowing that this parody would finally include Nintendo characters and many references to other video games, Manga, series and films.

Without these basic needs, living things will not survive. In addition to providing the basic needs, it is also important to provide love and attention, especially when caring for pets. Ask students to bring in a rock. Using a variety of craft materials, students will create and construct their very own pet. Once decorated, have students write a" pet information card" that indicates important information about the pet regarding its basic needs. Provide each student with a pre-written information card on which they will fill in the blank:

No. 55: Cincinnati
By Paul Myerberg // Jul 8, 2011
Cincinnati has been under-the-radar consistent since 1995, when the Rick Minter-led Bearcats notched the first of 11 non-losing seasons in the years since. You see only two truly bad teams: 1998, when U.C. was outscored by 197 points in a 2-9 finish, and 2005, when the Bearcats went 4-7 under Mark Dantonio. What you do see are plenty of not-terrible teams, good teams that weren't great, not bad, just good. Then you have the outliers: 10-3, 11-3, 12-1 — the Brian Kelly years. And you know what? Cincinnati grew to like the taste of success, as any program would. You know what else? Perhaps solid mediocrity — seven, eight wins a year — isn't good enough anymore for the program and its fan base.

Last year's prediction
With its ranking in this spot, I'm projecting the Bearcats to pull in fourth in the Big East, close to the third-place team but not, in my mind, a conference title-caliber team. I'm thinking eight wins, with a difficult non-conference slate preventing Cincinnati from breaking into Big East play on its typical hot streak. In my opinion, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, even Connecticut are more viable contenders for the conference crown. Now watch Cincinnati prove me wrong, as the program often did under Kelly. Of course, it's up to Jones to keep the Bearcats in title contention.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Cincinnati was .500 on Oct. 16, but it wasn't an ugly .500, if there is such a thing. There were wins over Indiana State, Miami (Ohio) and Louisville, but the losses weren't terrible — again, if there is such a thing as not-terrible losses: at Fresno State, at N.C. State and at home against Oklahoma, the latter by only two points. So what happened from there? The defense crumbled, that's what, and while the offense also failed more often than not it was clear that the U.C. defense was not up to the task of hanging with the top half of the Big East. It was this defense that allowed 33.4 points per game over the second half of the year, compared to 21 points per game during the 3-3 start. The offense remained out of the bright spotlight, but it was clear that the Bearcats were simply not the same as they were in 2009, Brian Kelly's final season.
High point The best win: a 35-27 win at Louisville. The one for bragging right: a 45-3 mauling of Miami (Ohio). The most impressive: a 69-38 victory over Rutgers. The Bearcats scored 20 points in the first quarter, 21 in the second and 14 in both the third and fourth.
Low point The faulty play of the defense over the second half of the season. In all, Cincinnati was just far less competitive: after losing by eight points to U.S.F., the Bearcats lost games by 24 points (Syracuse), 27 points (West Virginia), 21 points (Connecticut) and 18 points (Pittsburgh).
Tidbit Cincinnati scored 177 fewer points in 2010 than in 2009, when the Bearcats set a new school-record with 502 points scored. On its own, the 177-point differential would be more points than the Bearcats scored in 70 individual seasons since the program's inception in 1885. The scoring decline was also the second-most in program history, trailing only a 184-point dip from 1936-36 (241 points to 57).
Former players in the N.F.L.
18 DE Connor Barwin (Houston), OG Trevor Canfield (Detroit), TE Brent Celek (Philadelphia), DE Trent Cole (Philadelphia), DE Alex Daniels (Dallas), WR Mardy Gilyard (St. Louis), LB Tyjuan Hagler (Indianapolis), P Kevin Huber (Cincinnati), C Jason Kelce (Philadelphia), OT Jeffrey Linkenbach (Indianapolis), DT Ricardo Matthews (Indianapolis), S Haruki Nakamura (Baltimore), QB Tony Pike (Carolina), CB DeAngelo Smith (Cleveland), CB Brandon Underwood (Green Bay), LS Mike Windt (San Diego), DE Mike Wright (New England), LB Curtis Young (Green Bay).
Arbitrary top five list
Recent misguided N.B.A. draft entrants (2008-11)
1. C Byron Mullins (Oklahoma City, 2009).
2. PG Josh Selby (Memphis, 2011).
3. SG Xavier Henry (Memphis, 2010).
4. C Kosta Koufos (Utah, 2008).
5. SG Lance Stephenson (Indiana, 2010).
Butch Jones (Ferris State '90), 4-8 after his first season at Cincinnati. Not a great start for Jones, though he has been in this sort of scenario before. Jones was tabbed as Central Michigan's new coach in 2007 after Brian Kelly left C.M.U. for Cincinnati, and in some regards he took the program to new heights. His record at C.M.U. was 29-13, with a 12-2 season and MAC championship in 2009 bringing Jones into the conversation for a handful of B.C.S. conference openings. Through two seasons, his 16 victories and 13 wins in conference play were the second-most of any MAC coach over his first two years. He also led the Chippewas to three consecutive bowl trips, a program first. Yes, Kelly was the coach who first brought C.M.U. out of its generation-long malaise, but don't allow that in any way to detract from the job Jones did smoothly transitioning his coaching staff while keeping in place the same offense that Kelly had implemented to perfection over his three-year term in Mount Pleasant. It was a happy return to C.M.U. for Jones, who served as an assistant coach with the Chippewas from 1998-2004, including a three-year stint (2001-3) as offensive coordinator. Following the 2004 season, Jones left to serve as Rich Rodriguez's wide receivers coach at West Virginia. A two-year stint under Rodriguez allowed Jones to at least gain a measure of familiarity with the Big East. It also allowed him to familiarize himself with the spread offense, though Jones was very wise to merely continue to run Kelly's offense at Central Michigan instead of implementing a new system. The comparisons between Jones and Kelly won't end soon, and they won't be kind if Jones is unable to maintain a semblance of the momentum Cincinnati accumulated under Kelly's watch. It wasn't a great start, but Jones has plenty of time — and a long leash — to turn things around.
Players to watch
Quick: name which Big East quarterback earned first-team all-conference honors a year ago. Done? It was Cincinnati's Zach Collaros, who led the Big East in passing yards (2,902), touchdown passes (26), completions per game (20.5) and total offense per game (282.2 yards). We should have seen this coming with Collaros, who played superbly when replacing an injured Tony Pike in 2009. He didn't quite match his four-game totals from that season — a period where he was one of the best quarterbacks in the country — but Collaros did very well, especially during the first half of the year. Here's a scary thought for the rest of the Big East: he'll be even better in 2011.
Collaros needs to do only two things: one is avoid injuries, which is out of his control, by and large; the other is avoid longer periods of sour play, as Collaros, like the team as a whole, struggled down the stretch in 2010. Perhaps it was due to injuries, as he wasn't the same after injuring his knee against U.S.F. on Oct. 22. Over his last four starts, Collaros threw six touchdowns against 10 picks; if you take out the Rutgers win, the ratio was even worse. Already one of the Big East's best, Collaros needs only to button up his play against the conference's better defenses. And the Bearcats need him healthy, as his projected reserves bring no experience to the table.
Senior Isaiah Pead blossomed in an offense that put a slightly greater emphasis on the running game. Not that Pead didn't make an impact in 2009, when he led the Bearcats with 806 yards on the ground; he just took a step forward last fall, rushing for 1,029 yards — despite missing two games — en route to all-conference honors. And Pead did this without getting a high level of touches: he carried the ball only 157 times, leading the Big East with 6.6 yards per carry. Look for more of the same on the ground in 2011, and look for Pead to continue to play a significant role in the passing game. George Winn and Darrin Williams will again be the primary reserves, though freshman Jameel Poteat should be a factor.
Senior D.J. Woods (57 catches for 898 yards and 8 scores) takes on the job of being Cincinnati's top receiver, a role held with all-conference results by Mardy Gilyard and Armon Binns over the last two years. Unlike that pair, however, Woods won't have much in the way of proven help. Cincinnati will rely heavily upon two receivers, Kenbrell Thompkins and Dyjuan Lewis, who have loads of potential but no game experience — as of today, this pair are in the starting lineup with Woods. U.C. does bring back Anthony McClung (22 catches for 217 yards), but will need a few incoming freshmen to be ready from the start.
Any issues at wide receiver pale in comparison to those along the line. This group has two sure things, one almost-sure thing and two large holes, and unless we see a massive improvement from a handful of would-be starters the Bearcats are again going to have issues up front. First, the sure things: right tackle Alex Hoffman — the line's best — and left guard Randy Martinez. U.C. knows this pair will deliver, particularly Hoffman, a former all-Big East pick at guard. The almost-sure thing is left tackle Sean Hooey, who has the talent to excel but is new to the blind side. Now, the holes: center and right guard. Center above all, as projected starter Evan Davis fared poorly in his one start, the Fresno State game, in 2010. Cincinnati could go with either Austen Bujnoch or Andre Cureton at right guard; the pair share youth, good size and a troubling lack of experience.
I'm going to lay off the secondary for a couple paragraphs, but beware: it's not quite a train wreck, but the secondary needs work. It's the pass defense that came up and bit U.C. a year ago, and I have little doubt that this will be the case again in 2011. But the front seven will be far, far improved, thanks to one position change and a tremendous amount of depth back in the fold.
Moving Walter Stewart (60 tackles, 2 sacks) back down to end from outside linebacker, where he spent last season, does four things for this defense: one, it puts Stewart back in a more fitting role; two, it beefs up the pass rush; three, it gives U.C. another presence to take some pressure off tackle Derek Wolfe (48 tackles, 4 sacks); and four, it pushes Brandon Mills (58 tackles, 12.5 for loss, 6 sacks) into a situational role, one where he'll be a menace. It's amazing what one move can do, isn't it?
Stewart will team with Dan Giordano (38 tackles, 8 for loss) at end, though expect to see plenty of Mills — both there and along the interior, especially in passing situations. Wolfe leads the way at tackle, where he'll look to recapture his 2009 form, but the Bearcats can also feel secure with senior John Hughes and sophomore Jordan Stepp. The defensive line is an unquestioned strength.
Not so at linebacker, though this group should do a better job with a strong front four in place. Depth is the key: Cincinnati didn't have any last fall, thanks to injuries and an overall lack of bodies, which did a number on starters forced to play far too many snaps. That helped J.K. Schaffer's bottom line — he cracked the 100-tackle mark for the second straight year — but he could be more productive if given occasional breathers. Schaffer could start on the strong side or in the middle; if he moves outside, it'll be because Solomon Tentman is fully healthy or JUCO transfer Greg Blair can make an immediate impact.
Stewart's move down does open up a hole at linebacker, one that could be filled by Schaffer or one of several true and redshirt freshmen. Maalik Bomar (70 tackles, 8 for loss) is locked in on the weak side, where he did a nice job as a first-year starter in 2010. Bomar, like Schaffer, could use a break on the sidelines every now and then.
Position battle(s) to watch
Secondary The Bearcats were thin everywhere on defense last fall, but no place more so than in the defensive backfield. And it showed: U.C. couldn't stop anyone, even before Dominique Battle was lost for the year with a knee injury, and while the front seven looks to be in far better shape the secondary remains a tremendous concern. And it's not merely due to the question marks on the roster; it's also because, quite simply, the players seemed to be out of position more than often than not in 2010, something that falls directly on the coaching staff, which must also improve. Getting Battle back into the mix at cornerback is a good start. His 2010 season was cut short by that injury, but he brings 15 career starts into the fall, and if he's fully healthy he's the sort of consistent presence this secondary desperately needs. It seems like Battle and safety Drew Frey (52 tackles, 2 interceptions) are the lone defensive backs assured of starting roles; there's plenty of competition elsewhere. Even calling Frey a sure starter may be a stretch, as while his experience is unquestioned Frey does battle periods of inconsistency. Wesley Richardson started 10 games alongside Frey a year ago, but he may be pushed out of the lineup by JUCO transfer Malcolm Murray, who was on campus during the spring. There are several cornerbacks vying for the starting role opposite ofBattle: Reuben Johnson is the leader, but U.C. could also go with Camerron Cheatham, who didn't fare all that well as a 10-game starter last fall, or perhaps sophomore Deven Drane, a sophomore who should start sooner or later. Chris Williams is another option, but he's penciled in as the team's nickel back.
Game(s) to watch
The non-conference schedule features two tough games against B.C.S. conference opposition, but it's fairly possible that Cincinnati can enter Big East action at 4-1. That would provide this team with a huge boost, both in the win column and in terms of confidence. There are four conference road games: U.S.F., Pittsburgh, Rutgers and Syracuse. The Bearcats need to win at least one, if not two.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Cincinnati's going to make a nice improvement. The Bearcats are headed back to bowl play, as this team is far too talented to not make a three-game improvement in the win column. But U.C. cannot be considered a Big East title favorite — alongside Pittsburgh and West Virginia — with these two major question marks: the offensive line and the defense as a whole, the secondary in particular. The defensive line will be better, which should help the pass defense at large, but U.C. does not have what it takes in terms of depth and proven talent in the secondary to stop the sort of teams that await on this schedule. The offensive line, weak in pass protection a year ago, has big holes along the interior and dangerously little depth, though the Bearcats can feel at least somewhat secure in what they have at left tackle, left guard and right tackle. Even with this line, I don't think the offense is going to struggle: I think the offense will be better than it was a year ago. Collaros is a very good Big East quarterback, Pead can clearly get it done on the ground and the receiver corps, though unproven, has more than enough talent to get by. It just all comes back to this defense. It will be better, pushing this team away from the bottom of the Big East, but it won't be good enough to vault U.C. past the conference favorites. Maybe next year.
Dream season From 4-8 to the top of the Big East: 10-2, 6-1 in conference play. Thanks to this offense, but with a nod towards a vastly improved defense.
Nightmare season Another year of eight losses, which would give U.C. its first back-to-back losing campaigns since 1998-99.

I think the Ohio University Bobcats are next. School has existed since 1804 and they have zero national titles.
Paul: Not the university itself but the football program. And Ohio has won a few MAC division titles.
Like Paul said, the comparisons of Butch Jones and Brian Kelly won't end anytime soon. There are some real differences in their offenses, one being Jones doesn't use the TE and I find that fairly irritating to completely abandon a position that could help immensely.
Ultimately, I don't have a lot of confidence in Butch Jones. It looks like he can really dominate non-BCS competition. His time at CMU showed that and you can also see that in the Miami win last season. When it comes to non-bcs schools, Butch Jones has their number. But I really wonder if he and his coaching staff has what it takes to lead UC back to a Big East championship. There were times when he looked truly lost on the sidelines last season and if next year is another losing campaign, I don't expect Butch Jones to last more than 3 seasons. UC's 2012 schedule is brutal so if Butch can't get it done now, just wait until 2012.
I know they are brand new to the FBS but my guess is South Florida
Just one complaint – Navy claims the 1926 National Championship.
Does the hint on this one mean that you consider Rutgers as having tied for the 1869 national championship? Because if not, though they've appeared already on the countdown, I think they'd be older without winning anything.

Both becoming and being a penetration tester is hard. The learning curve for this business is through the roof. Years ago you had three (3) primary hurdles that you had to get over if you wanted to become a good penetration tester.
- Fundamentals – you have to have a solid background in networking, operating systems, and programming. It is extremely difficult to hack into things you don't understand and even more difficult to explain to the customer how to fix the underlying cause of the vulnerability you just exploited. So you have to understand the technology if you want to be in this business.
- Tools – years ago it was really difficult to get most security tools installed. Platform and library dependency issues were the norm. Installing hacking tools just flat out difficult even if you were fairly experienced. Attack distributions like Phlak, Knoppix, Whax, Auditor, and eventually BackTrack solved this problem. Nearly all of the hacking tools are now ready for use as soon as you boot up.
- Target Infrastructure – The final problem that has yet to be addressed until now is infrastructure. A target rich environment that safely/legally facilitates learning, practicing, and researching new vulnerabilities as well.
Strategic Security's Pentester Lab Network is designed to address the lack of a target infrastructure problem by providing something goes well beyond a few vulnerable workstations, something that goes well beyond some simple intentionally vulnerable applications, something that goes well beyond a fun CTF, and something that goes beyond a penetration testing class lab network.
Click here to download the lab network datasheet.
Click Here To Sign Up – $300 for 6 months!
This network will provide you with the most important ingredient you will need in order to be successful. That key ingredient is experience. There is no podcast, webinar, workshop, class, book, or video that is going to give you real tangible experience. There is no intentionally vulnerable application, wargame server, or Capture The Flag (CTF) that adequately emulates a real production network or a live production application with lots of users. Most of the time these are just exercises designed to help you get an idea of what you will face on a penetration test or to better understand the concepts that make up a particular vulnerability or exploitation tactic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of these things – they serve a very valuable purpose – they just fall short of adequately preparing you to work in a professional penetration testing role.
Starting on the 1st of January 2014 Strategic Security will begin offering pentester lab access. You will receive VPN access to the lab network of over 200 hosts running all kinds of things like:
- Sharepoint, System Center, Lync
- WordPress, Drupal, Joomla
- Oracle
- Cisco
- Avaya
- Unix hosts
You'll also be given access to the videos and courseware for both the Network Pentester Night School and the Web App Pentester Night School. This material will give you the tips and tricks you need to start working your way through the lab network. After you've gone through this material or if you already feel ready for it you can have the videos and courseware for the Advanced Offensive Cyber Operations course.
Each month there will be changes to the network architecture so you'll not only have to discover the network hosts again, but you'll also have to deal with different IPSs/WAFs and other defensive technologies as well.
