The Iron Bowl: (1) Alabama 36, Auburn 0

The Sooners victory, combined with Texas Tech's win over Baylor, keeps them in contention for the Big 12 South Division title.
Sunshine Showdown: (4) Florida 45, (20) Florida State 15
The win for the SEC Championship Game bound Gators keeps them on the inside track for BCS at-large bid. The Seminoles were also disappointed that Boston College beat Maryland and clinched the ACC Atlantic Division title.
(5) Southern California 38, Notre Dame 3
The Trojans dominated against the Fighting Irish and now must beat arch rival UCLA next Saturday to secure the Pac-10 title and the Rose Bowl berth.
(7) Texas Tech 35, Baylor 28
The Red Raiders come back from a 14-points third-quarter deficit to win, but Oklahoma's win will likely leave then in 3rd place in the Big 12 South and out of the BCS bowls.

Border Showdown: Kansas 40, (13) Missouri 37 at Kansas City
The Jayhawks lead by 16 points early in the third quarter, then allow the Tigers to score 20 consecutive points to take the lead, but Kerry Meier catches a 15-yard pass and scores with 27 seconds remaining to give Kansas the victory over the Big 12 North Division winner. The Tigers will likely drop off the top-14 in the next BCS ranking and be out of contention for BCS at-large berth if they lose the championship game next Saturday.
The Civil War: (23) Oregon 65, (17) Oregon State 38
The Beavers, who could have clinched the Pac-10 championship with a win, now should hope for a Southern California loss to UCLA next Saturday to win the title. If the Trojans win, They will make the short trip to Pasadena for the fourth consecutive year.

Clemson becomes bowl eligible with the win against their in-state rival.

The Eagles win gives them the ACC Atlantic Division title and a spot in the ACC Championship Game against Virginia Tech next Saturday in Tampa.

Goodbye Solo is a 2008 American independent film written and directed by Ramin Bahrani. It premiered as an official selection of the 2008 Venice Film Festival where it won the international film critic's FIPRESCI award for best film, and later had its North American premiere at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was distributed by Roadside Attractions. The film exhibits significant thematic and plot similarities to Abbas Kiarostami's 1997 film Taste of Cherry.

Plot
Solo, a Senegalese cab driver, is working to provide a better life for his young family in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. William, an old man with a lifetime of regrets, hires Solo to take him to Blowing Rock, a peak in which updrafts cause objects that are dropped from it to fly upwards. William does not ask for a ride back from the rock and is obviously depressed, so Solo assumes that the old man intends to commit suicide there. Solo befriends William, in hopes of talking him out of ending his life. He introduces William to his wife and his stepdaughter Alex, hoping to inspire the old man with the joys of life.
Solo takes William in his taxi to Blowing Rock, and returns without him.

Reception
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of 108 critics gave the film a positive review. The site’s consensus reads, "An original and thoughtful human drama, Goodbye Solo looks at relationships and loneliness while proving director Ramin Bahrani's is an important American voice."

The film was hailed as "A force of nature" by critic Roger Ebert, who awarded it four out of four stars. The New York Times A.O. Scott said it has "...an uncanny ability to enlarge your perception of the world."

Awards
In 2008, Goodbye Solo won the Venice Film Festival’s FIPRESCI International Critics Prize. It was also named one of the Top Ten Independent Films of 2009 by the National Board of Review.

Souléymane Sy Savané was nominated for Best Male Lead for the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards.

Byfjorden (Norwegian Nynorsk and Bokmål: /byːfjɔrn/, /-ɔɾn/; Bokmål: also /-ɔɳ/; Bergensk: usually /-ɔʁn/) is a fjord in Vestland county, Norway. The  long fjord separates the island of Askøy from the mainland Bergen Peninsula, passing right north of the city of Bergen on the mainland. The western entrance to Byfjorden is between the village of Drotningsvik in Laksevåg borough, Bergen, and the village of Marikoven on the island of Askøy in Askøy municipality. The northern entrance to the fjord is between the village of Ask on Askøy and Mjølkeråen in the borough of Åsane in Bergen.   On the northern end, it connects with the Salhusfjorden and Herdlefjorden.  There is one road crossing over the Byfjorden: the Askøy Bridge, which crosses near the western end of the fjord.  The name literally means city-fjord, and it is so named because of its importance as a transportation route into and out of the city of Bergen.

Trevett v. Weeden (1786) was a Rhode Island Supreme Court decision finding state legislation regarding paper currency was violative of the state constitution.  The decision set precedent for Marbury v. Madison regarding judicial review.

History
On September 25–26, 1786, the Superior Court of Judicature of Rhode Island (Rhode Island Supreme Court)
heard the case in Newport, Rhode Island with a decision by David Howell. In May 1786, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed legislation allowing paper money as legal tender, and in June 1786 the Court created penalties for anyone refusing to accept such currency. In August 1786, the Assembly passed further legislation providing that trial of
offenders should take place "without any jury," by a majority of the judges and no appeal was allowed.  Both common law and the Constitution of Rhode Island guaranteed a jury trial in contrast to the legislation.

General James M. Varnum, a U.S. Congressman representing the defendant argued that although the American Revolution occurred, the original colonial Constitution was still valid and the assembly derived its powers from this document. Accordingly, the Court retained the power to judge the constitutionality of any legislation under the Constitution.  The Court found that the paper currency law was unconstitutional ("not cognizable") because it limited the right to a jury trial for violators.

Aftermath
After the decision, the justices were brought before the General Assembly, reprimanded, and all but one were not reappointed for the following term. The Assembly then appointed paper currency advocates such as William West to the Court. The case was later cited as precedent for judicial review in Marbury v. Madison.

Burning Palms is a 2010 American satirical thriller film written and directed by Christopher Landon (in his feature directorial debut) based on Los Angeles stereotypes told through five intertwining storylines.

The segments are based on popular stereotypes of West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, Westwood and Holmby Hills. Each of the characters in the film confronts taboos and an uncertain, often darkly humorous, fate. Producer Oren Segal likens the film to "a John Waters version of Short Cuts, a 1993 drama film directed by Robert Altman.

The Best of Led Zeppelin is a two-volume best-of compilation album series by English rock group Led Zeppelin; containing selections from all of the band's studio albums it was released by Atlantic Records. Volume one, Early Days was released on November 22, 1999; volume two, Latter Days, was released on March 21, 2000. Early Days is composed of tracks from the period in the band's history dating 1968 to 1971 and doesn't use a traditional "greatest hits" format as Led Zeppelin largely avoided single releases. (The band never had a Billboard No. 1 single.) Latter Days covered 1973 to 1979. Early Days debuted at #71 on the Billboards Pop Albums chart and Latter Days debuted at #81. A combined disc set, called Early Days and Latter Days, was released on November 19, 2002 in the United States and on February 24, 2003 in the United Kingdom. Both Early Days and Early Days and Latter Days were certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Both volumes are now out of print, and were replaced with the 2007 two-disc compilation Mothership.

Box set
Appearance
The sleeve that holds the two CDs is made of cardstock. The cover of the sleeve is mainly occupied by the same photo from the cover of Early Days. It features the members of Led Zeppelin in late Apollo mission astronaut suits in front of a starry background and a Led Zeppelin logo. The logo behind them shows many space-related images, but the only one wholly visible is the image of the moon's face with a space capsule stuck in its eye taken from the early silent movie A Trip to the Moon.

On the back of the sleeve is an array of information split up into two columns. On the left column, there is a photograph of the cover of Latter Days. It features the same astronaut suits, but the photos were taken later and so the members of Led Zeppelin are older. In the logo is an image of Saturn and behind all of the foreground is an image of Earth taken from space. Below that is the information about Atlantic. On the right column is a synopsis of the tracks on both discs.

Early Days discEarly Days is packaged in a plastic jewel compact disc case. Much of the background is a drawing of stars, yet inside the case and behind the CD is an image of an artist's rendition of a supernova, apparently airbrushed. On the backside of the case is a list of the tracks. The background of the back cover appears to be a slightly out-of-focus photograph, likely taken by an amateur photographer.

The Early Days liner notes begin with the cover. On the cover is the same image that appears on the foreground of the sleeve. Inside the booklet is first a summary of the tracks, and then photos of the band ranging from 1969 to 1972. Then after that is a list of their albums, and the back page is a list of the band members, design and artwork credits, and information about the Enhanced CD capabilities on Early Days.

Latter Days disc
The packaging for Latter Days mirrors that of Early Days. The four band members are pictured in the same Apollo space suits in the same order, but they are older. Much of the background is of Earth as viewed from orbit. There is a picture of Saturn in place of the picture of the moon with the ship in its eye. Behind the CD is an image of the Eagle Nebula.

The liner notes are just like those of Early Days, except for the fact that the images range from the years 1973 to 1979.

Enhanced CD
Both the Early Days CD and the Latter Days CD are enhanced so they can play extra content on a computer. On Early Days, a music video of the song "Communication Breakdown" is included. On Latter Days'', a video of the song "Kashmir" is included.
