Softball Heads to Regionals Thursday

PROVO -- BYU softball received an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Tournament by defeating UNLV in the Mountain West Conference Championship Saturday in San Diego.

The Cougars (44-12) will open at Fresno State against No. 2 California (46-11) Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in the double-elimination tournament, which runs May 19-21.

BYU was one of 28 teams, out of the 64 team-field, that received an automatic bid to the tournament. UNLV (43-17), also representing the MWC, made the at-large selection and will open at Los Angeles against Cal State Fullerton (28-19) Friday, May 20.

"We definitely earned an invitation to the tournament," BYU softball head coach Eakin said. "We're a little disappointed to start off with California, but we have to beat them all to win it anyway. So, we'll start off with whoever they give us."

This is the second time BYU has been invited to the NCAA Tournament. BYU played in the NCAA Regional Tournament in 2001 losing to Nebraska and Hofstra.

"We're obviously excited to keep playing," Eakin said. "We'll take one day off and then get ready for regionals."

This will be the 20th-consecutive year California has appeared at an NCAA tournament. Last year California lost to UCLA 3-1 in the NCAA Women's College World Series Championship game.

Fresno State (41-10) will open at home against Long Beach State (39-14). Fresno, the Region No. 2 host, will be the only regional site opening the tournament on Thursday, May 19, to accommodate BYU because the school does not compete on Sunday.

National Attention

- BYU softball is currently ranked fourth in slugging percentage at .527 and seventh in scoring at 6.14.

- The Cougars are currently ranked sixth in the nation in home runs per game at 1.21, with junior Ashlyn Russell ranking 15th in the nation at .3.

- BYU has the 10th best batting average in the nation at .318 with Lauren Watson-Perry ranking 12th at .43 and ranking 17th in runs per game at .94.

- Junior Ianeta Le`i is ranked 21th nationally in runs batted in per game at .98.

- BYU pitcher junior Summer Tobias is ranked 19th nationally in saves with 4.

- Senior Lauren Watson-Perry was recently drafted 21st overall in the Ladies Pro Fastpitch Association (LPFA) senior draft. The selection was made March 11, and Watson-Perry was among the first ever batch of draftees.

"I'm really looking forward to continue playing softball," Watson-Perry said. "I didn't think I would ever get the chance to play after BYU. I'm completely excited and I realize it's a great opportunity for me."

The games for the LPFA begin May 26, 2005 and Watson-Perry said she expects that she will be working out a contract shortly after the BYU season if over.

As a team the Cougars are batting .318 and are ranked No. 10 in the nation in batting average and No. 7 in the nation in scoring (6.14 runs per game). Leading the way offensively for the Cougars is Lauren Watson-Perry with a .430 batting average. She is followed by teammates Ianeta Le`i (.359), Paige Paramore (.355), Ashlyn Russell (.322), Jodi Norton (.311), Debbie Dodds (.300) and Krystle Chamberlain (.300). Watson-Perry leads the team in hits (71) and in runs scored (51). Norton posted a team-high 13 extra base doubles this season and Jennifer Whiteley leads in triples (4). Le`i posts a team-high 53 RBI. BYU continues its long-ball offense hitting 68 home runs in 56 games with Russell leading the way with 17 home runs so far this season. Watson-Perry leads in stolen bases with 12-out-of 15 attempts.

The pitching staff is posting a 2.15 overall ERA led by junior Summer Tobias who registers a 1.64 ERA in 31 appearances. Tobias has pitched 16 complete games and posts a 18-6 overall record with 111 strikeouts. Freshman Danilla Urincho follows Tobias with 1.66 ERA and a 16-2 record and 76 strikeouts. Urincho has pitched 15 complete games this season for BYU while appearing in 22 games. Senior Niki Andersen has appeared in 10 games this season to post a 2.74 ERA and a 2-0 record. Junior Brooke Boyce has a 3.62 ERA posting a 8-4 record and has four saves.

BYU in the NCAA Regionals

The 2005 NCAA Regionals will be Coach Eakin's first national Cougar NCAA appearance.

2001 --Hosted by Stanford (Palo Alto, Calif.)

After winning the regular season and conference tournament titles for the first time in school history in only its second year of NCAA Division I competition, the BYU softball team entered the 2001 NCAA Regional Tournament in Palo Alto, Calif., as the No. 5 seed. The Cougars were put out of the double-elimination tournament with back-to-back losses from No. 11 Nebraska 3-1 and Hofstra 4-2. BYU ends the season with a 35-26 record and an 11-6 conference record.

A Glance at the Competition

California (46-11, 13-7 Pac-10) played in the 2004 NCAA Championship falling two points shy of earning the title. The No. 2 Golden Bears ended the 2005 regular season splitting the Pac-10 title with OSU, Stanford and Arizona--the largest title split in Pac-10 history.

No. 15 Fresno State (41-10, 17-1 WAC) came off the regular season earning the WAC title. Fresno State is the only program in the nation to have qualified for all 24 NCAA Softball Championships.

Long Beach State (39-14. 19-2 Big West) won their second straight conference title and fifth in the last 10 years. This will be the 49ers' third consecutive NCAA regional appearance and the 16th postseason all-time appearance.

Day #1438 Title: Windy Evening
Location: Broadgate Circle
Camera: Panasonic Lumix GF1 / 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 IOS
Notes: I had a few minutes to spare before getting my train this evening, so had a quick walk around Broadgate Circle again. I liked the long exposure on the Christmas tree as the wind was blowing the branches about.

Location: Syon House
Camera: Canon EOS 7D / 10-22mm EF-S f/3.5-4.5 USM
Notes: I spent a very enjoyable evening with some Flickr friends at Syon House for their Enchanted Woodland event. Lots of low light photography – trees, reflections and lasers! All good fun. This is a statue in the fountain outside the Orangery – inside of which is the laser show.

Day #1393 Title: Bright Lights, Big City
Location: Holborn, London
Camera: Canon EOS 7D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Another day freelancing in London today, and then a short walk this evening to visit the London Webstandards meeting in Holborn. I was wondering what to photograph for the day when I spied this coloured light show just off New Fetter Lane. A convenient bollard on a traffic island in the middle of the road provided a suitable tripod for a long exposure.

Notes: After an enjoyable first day at BarCamp Brighton6, we went to visit a friend nearby for her party. She had some coloured rope lights draped over the sofa – I liked the little patterns they made on the fabric.

Notes: Not a lot of opportunity for pictures today, as the weather was rather tedious. But we managed a quick walk across the Northumbria University footbridge spanning the Central Motorway on our way back to Alistair’s this evening. A bit of long exposure seemed to be the thing to do…

Tamales with sallmon and polenta

inisfree Jul 30, 2009 11:10 AM

When we stayed at the lovely hotel in Yellowstone National Park, this past May, we had the most dellicious dish. Salmon set on polents in a sauce and wrappen in a tamale. It was incredable. I would love to duplicate it or at least come close. I have never cooked tamales so I have absolutely no idea of what I should do. Any help would be most appreciated. Between the awesome beauty of Yellowstone and the taste of this salmon tamale - it was a most memerable lunch.

    1. cristina RE: inisfree Jul 31, 2009 07:26 AM

      This sounds like an invention of the restaurant's chef rather than a typically Mexican dish. Here in Mexico, we might call it *cocina del autor*--the chef's own cuisine. I'd suggest contacting the restaurant to see if they would give you the recipe.

        Sounds good to me. I love authentic Mexican food, but really like seeing new versions. Where are you in terms of geography and that may we helpful in determining what ingredients you would use? I'm not as familiar with cooking with polenta, but I can tell you about masa (the Mexican version of polenta I suppose you could think of it like that).

        If I were to try and make it I would use banana leaves (I don't know which the chef used). I'd probably take the raw salmon and but it in a chipotle marinade, or sauce. Then with the masa (in Chicago you can get it pre-made, otherwise you can add water or consomme to it to get it in a dough like mass) you'll put a little in it like a spread out volcano, and put some of the chipotle salmon. All in the corn husk or banana leave and then you'd put it in a large pot of boiling water and let it sort of steam for I'd guess maybe 30 minutes.

        What do you think?

          Thank you....your idea sounds delicious. I like the idea of the spicy chipolte marinade. I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I'll have to see about where I can get banana leaves. I bought the corn husks in a Mexican grocery store in Waucunda. No one in the store knew about cooking the salmon in the leaves - but all were very, very helpful dispite the language problem. ( incidently, they have a resturant attatched to the store and serve the greatest authentic Mexican fooods and very reasonable - las tres amigas - also carry out)

          I really enjoy tryiing new foods and also shopping for new foods. I am curious about how the cactus are prepared.

            I just watched Rick Bayless' TV program "Mexico, One Plate at a Time" today. He dug a pit in his Chicago backyard to roast cochinita pibil, which he wrapped in banana leaves.

            He bought the leaves, frozen, from an unspecified Asian grocery store. He remarked that you can also find the leaves at Mexican groceries in the Chicago area.

Overnight trip - in search of local gems

peppermint pate Oct 9, 2009 01:20 PM

Thanks to a close friend's birthday, my sister and I are flying to NYC (from Toronto) for a quick overnight trip. We've both been to New York many times but not for a couple of years.

For sunday dins, we're looking for a local gem. Using the lexicon of past faves, we'd love the quality of food from some place like Hearth or Tides in a cozy, buzzy room (maybe like August or Lupa). And warm friendly service please. We both love the West village but anywhere downtown is fine. A few on my shortlist - Little Owl, Perilla, Market Table, Terroir, maybe the bar at Babbo? Blue hill? Other?

We will probably go to Via Quadronno for a cappucino but would love a downtown (weekday) breakfast spot with great egg dishes and great americanos.

And for lunch, thinking of momofuko ssam. Or did I read somewhere that Jean georges has a newish Asian resto? Alternatively, maybe a gorgeous light filled room with yummy salad mains or small bites for sharing?

Many thanks!

    kathryn RE: peppermint pate Oct 9, 2009 03:16 PM

    NB: Tides has closed. Out of your short list, I think Babbo would be great if you're willing to put up with the bar. Little Owl is just too crazy/cramped at dinner. Terroir is nice but not super cozy, more industrial, and with lots of tall stools. Perilla is probably the most cozy without being insanely crowded.

    Great americano + great egg dish = 'ino in the West Village. Love their espresso and truffled egg toast. They're open weekdays and quite affordable.

    JG's new Asian restaurant is Matsugen.

      Thanks Kathryn (whose brunch bible sits at the top of my "NY eats" folder).

      Firstly, I'm really sad to hear about Tides. I was there on 4 or 5 trips over the years and really loved it - food, ambiance, people, etc.

      As for this trip, is the food at perilla special? Also, any spots not on my shortlist that should be? I LOVE the truffled egg toast (I had it at 'inoteca). Forgot to mention that my sister can't have gluten so I'm wondering if there's another spot with great omelettes, huevos rancheros or even great bacon and eggs ( plus great coffee).

      1. re: peppermint pate
        kathryn RE: peppermint pate Oct 13, 2009 11:51 AM

        Out of the ones you listed I think Perilla is the most interesting & ambitious, if that helps.

        Have you seen my posts on Locanda Verde? They have some good egg dishes. IIRC they serve weekday breakfast.

          stephaniec25 RE: peppermint pate Oct 13, 2009 12:49 PM

          I love Perilla, Market Table, and Little Owl. All great choices.

          I also really like Babbo, but wouldn't bank on getting a seat at the bar for a one-night trip.

            I walked into the Little Owl last Saturday at 6pm on a whim hoping to get 2 bar seats. All 4 seats at the bar were all empty + additional tables in front for walk-ins. I would think your chances on a Sunday would be even better.

In Season

BigSal Dec 4, 2010 06:10 PM

We went to Don Saunders’s new restaurant, In Season, yesterday. It was the perfect escape for a cold and snowy evening. We couldn’t decide between the fried squid or fried oysters to start so we had both. The squid was served with an aioli and a salad with anchovy and olives. Although the squid was delicious and extremely tender (according to our server it is soaked in buttermilk), the crispy oysters stole the show. The dish consists of three gigantic cornmeal crusted (I believe) oysters paired with pork belly squares, served on top of sweet and sour cabbage and mustard. The oysters were beautifully fried, sweet and tender and paired beautifully with the unctuous pork belly and the crunchy cabbage.
For my entrée, I had the Wild Striped Sea Bass with Leeks, Potatoes and Brown Butter Mousseline. This was a hearty dish on such a cold night. The fish was cooked beautifully with perfectly crispy skin served atop crunchy potato cubes and buttery leeks. My husband ordered the braised short ribs with root vegetables. Both of us cleaned our plates.

This is the late fall menu (http://www.inseasonrestaurant.com/din...). It appears that the winter menu will be coming in about a week. Our server mentioned limousin beef (very lean, but extremely tender beef) and oxtail were things we could look forward to on the new menu. Although it was not packed, I'm sure due to the weather and the early reservation we had, Chef Don and his sous chef were the only two in the kitchen. It was impressive to see the two of them crank things out. We’re planning on going back once more before the menu changes, and then again after the change.

        he is a great chef. i really hope his new restaurant takes off. iirc he was very open to doing veg tasting menus when he was at fugaise, you might want to call and see if he'd play around off-menu for you. bet you'd get a great meal, if so.

          We just had another great meal at In Season last night. I was happy to see the place was bustling. They are changing to an early spring menu on Thursday. We decided to have one last taste of the crispy oysters with pork belly before they are no longer on the menu. They were delicious as ever. I had the ocean trout . A rich, flaky fish with crispy skin and carmelized fennel, kalamata olives and blood orange served with a potato cake. My husband had the cod fish and chips. His had a very light and "poofy" batter . The chips were thinly sliced, fried fingerling potato coins that were seasoned with truffles. This came with a English pea puree and fresh peas. He enjoyed the dish. Our server gave us a sneak peek at the early spring menu and it included things like pork shoulder and manila clams, frog's legs, white asparagus, hamachi. Can't wait.

Dining alone (!) at Per Se next week - Questions!

TheReturnee Nov 14, 2012 04:20 PM

Questions for my Chowhound sempai! I am dining alone at Per Se next Wednesday. Like a good obsessive gastronomist, I have been checking the daily menus, to try and gauge what might be on the menu when I go. Hopefully white truffles! Hopefully wagyu! But all of that aside, what is this extended tasting menu I keep reading about? Should I ask for that? (Since I also see bits and pieces about solo diners at Per Se getting some extras [awwwwww!], am I to expect those? Seems presumptuous!) When I go, I want to not think about anything, hence all of the prep work!

(Solo diners 4 ever!)

    White truffles are appearing on the Per Se menu as an option with a supplemental charge. When wagyu is on the menu, it also has an additional charge. If you're interested in the extended tasting menu (I've done it and it was the best meal I've had at Per Se in six visits), you should call ahead to request it. The meal takes more than 5 1/2 hours, and there are more than 20 courses; the cost was $500. At my fifth visit I received for the first time one of the extra courses. I wouldn't expect to receive any of the "extras" so you won't be disappointed if you don't receive these, and will be delighted if you do. I am confident that you'll have a wonderful time!

      Thank you! Yes, I see that white truffles are appearing now, but it hasn't been everyday! (The hen egg raviolo preparation from the other day sounded very drool-worthy.) I was thinking, too, assuming, say, both appear as supplements on the same evening, the cost on top of the regular tasting menu would make it more than the extended menu's cost. Did your extended menu include the staples, like the Oysters & Pearls?

        ellenost RE: TheReturnee Nov 14, 2012 06:06 PM

        Yes it did (always one of my favorites). My extended tasting menu was at lunch (started at 11:30 and ended with a kitchen tour at 5:15). Since there were four of us, for several of the courses, we were served two different but similar dishes with the idea that we would share and get to sample more dishes. I agree with you that the cost of the extended tasting menu is a better value than the regular menu with the additional charges. There were no additional charges for the foie gras and the dish with black truffles.

          Not to hijack the thread, but do either of you have any tips for getting reservations, particularly for the extended tasting menu? I've been once, 2-3 years ago, and got lucky with a last-minute opening that popped up on open table. I assume that the recipe for success is the usual "call early and often" - anything more to it? We're hoping to go in Jan/Feb for our usual holiday gift to each other treat meal, so time's drawing near to start trying to get in! Thanks in advance!

            I called right at 10am NYT, waited on hold for 10 minutes, and got my table. The old fashioned way, as it were. They called today to confirm my reservation, and I asked about the extended tasting menu. I was told a manager would follow up to discuss.

              A friend of mine called this morning and got a reservation for 12/17 since the books for 12/17 opened today. Since she wanted a Monday, I think it may have been slightly easier.

          Just called Per Se to inquire about the extended tasting menu (yes, it was so good that I'm interested in having it again!); the price has increased to $650 per person, and is only available at lunch due to the length of the meal.

            Yes, the maître d' just called me and told me the same thing (a day before my reservation). I'm disappointed, of course, but happy to hear it's because they only offer it at lunch. Was worried it was because I'm on my own!

                    Just made a reservation at Per Se for the extended tasting menu; the price is now $600 (probably the $650 included a supplement for white truffles since it was during the season).

                              When I spoke with Per Se today and back in November, they said that since the extended tasting menu usually exceeds 5 hours, they are offering it only at lunch. If you had the extended tasting menu at dinner, they must have made an exception for you.

                                  Based on my conversations with the restaurant, Per Se says they are no longer offering the extended tasting menu at dinner. I had read earlier reports of the extended tasting menu served at dinner. It seems Per Se has recently changed its policy, and will now be offering the extended tasting menu only at lunch. Perhaps they may make exceptions.

                      Out of curiosity, how was it? We had been planning to try for reservations for dinner in January (as a Christmas gift to ourselves) but then found a lunch reservation for Saturday the 16th and may end up going that route... and now that lunch is an option, we're debating the extended tasting menu, too. If anyone has any thoughts or recent experiences to share, I'd love to hear them - hadn't expected to suddenly find lunch at Per Se as an option in two weeks, but we're excited!

                        we had lunch at Per Se a few weeks ago on a Sunday (not the extended tasting menu) and it was one of the best dining experiences we've had. they have a smaller 5 course menu on the weekends, but we went with the chef's tasting menu. everything was great, except the cheese course (a mini grilled cheese with tomato relish) which was a bit bland. actually, we were so stuffed that we couldn't finish the mignardines, but they boxed a lot of them up and sent us on our way together with two sleeves of amazing hazelnut sandwich cookies (one for us, one for our babysitter, but both really for us).

                        reservation was at 1:30 and we left around 5, which let us watch the day turn into night.

Hongry Kong food truck - review w/ PICS

hhc Apr 23, 2013 08:35 PM

I finally tried out Hongry Kong Food Truck in Milpitas when they are there every other Wed, I found them Wed 4/10/13.

I got Beef brisket w/ tendons only comes with the Curryous George sauce $8 + Add Ons Flaky Egg Tart & Specialty Drink $3.5 more.

Meat was ok, some pieces too thick & not tender enough, tendons - I don't like. Flaky egg tart was ok, Golden Gate Bakery is still better. I got Iced HK Milk Tea it was tasty enough.

I got a Pin in a bag with their card & 1 pc of White Rabbit Candy - tossed the candy.

Charged my meal, think it was over $11.50, didn't get a receipt so not sure how much I paid.

They have a bunch of other Tart flavors I want to try: Pecan Tart $2; Coconut Tart $2; Egg Tarts $1.25; Mousse Tarts $1.5 Lychee, mango, strawberry, chocolate, green tea, cream cheese.

Grilled chicken or pork chop with tangy tomato or dreamy creamy sauce sound good to me for next time.

War alters path of National Guard graduates

COLUMBIA - National Guard members graduating on the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are heading into a different world than the weekend-a-month drill that attracted their parents.

"Before 9-11, those going into the Guard and Reserve would've returned to their units, drilled on weekends and participated in their unit exercises," said Col. Shawn Mateer, the 4th Training Brigade's commander. "Now, they go straight into combat."

The Army, stretched thin by ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, depends more on Guard and Reserve units nowadays.

Columbia's Fort Jackson turns out more than half of the Army's soldiers - about 42,000 a year - with most of them headed for advanced training in support-type jobs in Army, Reserve or Guard units. While 58 percent of them head to regular Army units, 20 percent head to National Guard outfits and 22 percent to the Reserve.

Those ranks now include two high school buddies from Utah - Pvt. Brent Beck, 18, and Pfc. Sheldon Holgreen, 19, who graduated Thursday. Both joined knowing their Guard unit could be called to active duty. After eight weeks of advanced training at Fort Lee, Va., they'll probably join the Alpha Company of the 1457th Combat Engineer Battalion in Baghdad.

"It's rough for moms," said Pvt. Beck's mother, Jackie. "But it's something he wants to do, and we support him. Hopefully, he doesn't have to go."

Eighteen-year-old Pvt. Otis Collins Jr., of Los Angeles, will be training as a logistics specialist, then report to his Reserve unit, the 693rd Quartermaster Company.

Pvt. Collins doesn't know whether he'll be joining some of the 200 members of the 693rd who deployed to the Persian Gulf in January.

"You're nervous about the possibility, but you do what you've got to do," he said.

There's good reason for worry in modern wars, where the enemy goes without uniforms and troops in support jobs may be thrust into firefights.

Baathist loyalists' ambush of the 507th Maintenance Company during the first weekend of the Iraq war made that clear.

"The drill sergeants told us over and over about Jessica Lynch," a rescued and heralded member of the 507th, said Pvt. Jordan Gonda, 18, of Pennsylvania. "We were taught that all the skills we learn in basic training are useful and will be needed."

South African Sundancer

This is my favorite line about myself because it usually makes people pause.

I am a sixteen year old blind South African. Other than that, na, nothing really interesting about me.

My first Chuck book was Choke. I remember lying on the couch, audio book playing when it just... hit me how I could actually relate to his descriptiveness; His descriptions are usually dark, and with me being blind, I could see, for the first time, the world through someone else's eyes.

So, naturally, it led to an addiction. I got my hands on every novel of his I could. So yeah, I guess he's been someone I could look up to and thank for writing something I could visualize.

Rant over.

Family Groups Press for Meeting with Paramount

July 7, 2008 - 8:02 PM

( - As homosexual rights groups pressure Paramount to silence Dr Laura Schlesinger for what they consider to be her disparaging comments about homosexuals, a coalition of family organizations is requesting a meeting with the entertainment giant to ensure that the popular radio talk show host is allowed to speak her mind.

A diverse inter-faith coalition of 10 pro-family leaders, including three former homosexuals, are waiting for a reply to their March 10 request for a meeting with Paramount to talk with studio executives from the point of view of people who support Schlesinger and who are afraid she'll be censored.

"If to be fair, Paramount meets with gay activists - not only gay activists but extremists who compare faith-based groups to Nazis - then they should do the courtesy of meeting with people who stand for basic morality," Peter LaBarbara, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, and author of the letter, told

Schlesinger, an orthodox Jew, has drawn fire from homosexual rights groups for describing homosexuality as a "deviant sexual orientation." In a syndicated radio show that reaches an estimates 20 million listeners in the U.S. and Canada, Schlesinger also speaks favorably of reparative therapies for people who want to come out of homosexuality, and is opposed to same-sex "marriage."

Schlesinger was forced to cancel several events in recent days, including a fundraiser last week for abused children in Detroit, out of fears demonstrators could physically threaten attendees. Homosexual activists staged a protest last week outside the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood to protest Paramount's plan for a TV talk show for Schlesinger in the fall.

Joe Glover, president of Family Policy Network, told "homosexual activists want to claim that Dr. Laura is intolerant. Meanwhile they're threatening to crash her charity banquet. It looks to me like they're the real source of hate in this cultural debate."

"Few in the mainstream media are honest enough to explain that conservatives oppose the behavior which destroys the lives of homosexuals because we care about their plight," he added.

However, Schlesinger's critics say she is not qualified to speak authoritatively on such complicated matters as reparative therapy. A national homosexual rights group told that the talk show host's opponents want to send a message to media outlets around the country that there's a price to pay for "giving an audience to people with such extreme views" as Schlesinger's.

The downside of this, from the protester's point of view, is "it usually just brings more attention to a particular figure and only solidifies their base audience and thus gives the production company greater determination to move forward," Kevin Ivers, director of public affairs for the Log Cabin Republicans, told

Ivers criticized Schlesinger for allegedly telling people, some of whom are at risk for suicide, "that they have a biological illness because they're gay."

"And secondly, I would hope that people who are gay and at risk don't spend their time reaching out to crackpot psychotherapists on the radio and instead reach out to their churches, to other people in the gay community, to their families and look for support where they can count on it," he added.

No one should take away Schlesinger's right to free speech, Ivers said, "but no critic who thinks her point of view should not be out there should give her anymore publicity than she's already getting, which is only going to strengthen her hand for this TV show."

Homosexual activist groups also are coming under increased fire from family groups who believe they are stifling any debate on the merits of reparative therapy for those who want it.

"Frequently I challenge reporters by asking 'why are we told this is a line them up and march them off to a control camp to change their minds situation,' when all of the ex-gay ministries I'm aware of only work with individuals who are interested or willing to change their particular behavior," said Rev. Craig Bensen, a pastor and counselor and co-founder of Vermont's first ex-gay ministry.

Bensen, who took part in the recent debate in Vermont on same-sex "marriages," told he was appalled at the way proponents of reparative therapy are depicted as "bigots" and "homophobes" who are "ignorant."

Bensen said the majority whip for the Democrats in the Vermont Senate said, "The types who oppose same-sex marriages are the type who don't have library cards."

"This is a free speech issue as well as a truth issue. This is constitutionally protected speech that actually happens to be true and the media don't want to report it and the gays don't want it to exist," Bensen said.

Paramount refuses to drop the show, and homosexual activists vowed they would carry on their campaign against Schlesinger to television advertisers.

LaBarbera said family groups should rally in support of Schlesinger, who he said is being unjustly attacked.

"She's letting people see it's okay to defend basic morality," he said. "She's showing people it's okay to stand up for what you believe."

C section recovery with a 2 1/2 year old?

Posted 01/16/2013
I was just wondering if anyone had some tips on what to do when recovering from a c section with a 2 1/2 year old? I will have my husbands help for the first two weeks but then I'm pretty much on my own. What was your experience with it? Was it hard not being able to pick up your child? My daughter is pretty small and will most likely be less than 25 lbs at the time I have DS but I'm guessing that's still too much to pick up. Is that right? I just wonder about getting her into her tall high chair cause once she's in she'll sit there for a while and eat lunch and watch a show so that would give me a break to take care of DS. Did you run in to any other issues? Any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in the same predicament. I'm hoping to VBAC but if not it'll be me LO and DS (16months) the week I come home he 22 pounds now and hopefully that when YDS arrives. I plan on moving him to a mattress on the floor for naps and bedtime, we have a child size table and chairs he can eat lunch at and I will teach him how to climb into the truck into his car seat and into the stroller on his own. I already don't pick him up a lot. When he reaches for me I get down on his level to hug and cuddle. His toys are all on the floor or child sizes shelves so he can get to them on his own.

My son was 26 months when had my csection if you have help the first 2 weeks you should be good. Help her climb into her high hair using another chair and let her climb onto your lap to hold her I had my mom the first 2 weeks and then I was on my own for about 12 hrs a day. I was worried but it was fine.

When I had my dd my ds was 15 months old. We had already converted his crib to the day bed so I wouldn't have to bend or lift him up. he was able to climb in and out of high chair while I held one hand. Cuddling, reading time or whatever was either on couch or beds which he also knew how to climb up on. My ods was 6 & he was great help so also. You should be fine though.

Mine was 2 when I had my last csection. My husband helped me out the 1st week. I had no problems.

I did it with my last pregnancy with a 2 year old.  It's doable and since you'll have your DH the first 2 weeks, you should be ok by week #3 to be on your own.  Just take it easy and slow.

Been there done that. You just have to take everything slowly. But my 2 year old wasn't in a high chair anymore either, might be time to become a big girl. This time around, my youngest will turn 3 right nor fire baby comes but hubby works from home.

Thanks for all the great ideas! We do have a little table and chairs so that should work just fine. I guess I'm already feeling guilty not being able to pick her up but I can just cuddle her on the couch.

I didn't have a c section, but after amino, I couldn't lift my 20 month old for a few days. We have a step stool that we put in front of the high chair and I held her hand while she climbed up. Worked great!

My daughter was 27 months when her sister was born. I couldn't lift my older one (she was always the 95th weight percentile during the first 2 years).  We converted her crib to a toddler bed, and she sat at the regular table to eat, and climbed up onto the dining room chair herself.

Then again, I wasn't picking her up much before the c-section either. It kills my back to carry a little one around!

Our oldest daughter turned 2 the week before our current baby girl was born. I was nervous too but we did totally fine! The hardest part was getting her in and out of the crib, but we managed. I did start to prepare her at about this point in my pregnancy by not carrying her as much, so she didn't associate that with the new baby. By the time the baby was born, she was already used to it. Now my youngest is 3 and I am doing the same with her. She is a bit more clingy so it might be more of a struggle this time, but at least I don't have a crib to contend with!

Good luck :)

Enron Payback

It was a corporate "gotcha!" moment that seemed to have it all--longer than a perp walk, more than just a Senate hearing. Former Enron managing director Michael Kopper's guilty plea to wire fraud and money laundering appeared to promise future boons for government prosecutors, who are counting on him to incriminate his bosses, and for defrauded Enron investors, employees and pensioners, who may win back some of the ill-gotten spoils. In court documents, Kopper detailed the schemes that he says he ran with former CFO Andrew Fastow, schemes that cost the energy giant more than $1 billion. (Fastow has yet to...

AVIATION: Planes to Spare?

Have the 177 planes the Army took over from the nation's airlines been used to full advantage? For months, in the airlines themselves, there has been a propwash of gossip that the commandeered planes are actually idle, and are rusting away in Army hangars.

Last week, with airline operators at their wits' ends to find equipment to handle their traffic, American Aviation dragged the question into the open: "The other day an airline finally obtained a 14-passenger Lockheed Lodestar that had been in the hands of the Army. . . . The log...

Cinema: Newsreel, may 20, 1957

¶ For $650,000 down, Producer Sam Goldwyn got the film rights to George Gershwin's Negro folk opera Porgy and Bess. Gershwin's estate and other beneficiaries will get a straight 10% of the movie's gross receipts. Goldwyn, reportedly seeking Calypsinger Harry Belafonte to head an all-Negro cast, plans to release Porgy late next year.

¶ Unwinding a kaleidoscopic, 90-minute CinemaScope preview of its coming attractions, 20th Century-Fox announced that it will soon release 55 feature movies in a twelve-month period. This splurge—raising the question of whether theater-shown films will some day antiquate much TV entertainment—will represent the biggest output of any Hollywood studio...

Foreign News: Black and White

Winston Churchill needed all his skill at parliamentary parrying of touchy subjects. Cocky Tom Driberg, Independent M.P., had risen in the House of Commons and asked the Prime Minister to "make friendly representations to the American military authorities asking them to instruct their men that the color bar is not a custom of this country." The Prime Minister thought the suggestion "unfortunate," hoped "'that without any action on my part the points of view of all concerned will be mutually understood and respected."

But the question had peeled the blanket of official silence off...

Sport: New Odds for the Phillies

"In saying good-by to baseball forever . . . I leave it to the public and to my friends to decide whether I was wrong or the rule was wrong. . . . Good luck and good-by to everyone. . . ."

Whether or not they were affected by this affecting farewell, the public and William Drought Cox's few friends in baseball were virtually unanimous: the ex-owner of the Phillies was wrong; the rule was right; organized baseball was harsh but just in barring him from the game forever. Cox's crime: he had made "a...

World Battlefronts: BATTLE OF ASIA: When the Rains Go

While the monsoon rains beat a devil's tattoo on the elephant-iron roofs of the Southeast Asia Command. Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten returned last week to his headquarters in Ceylon from a visit to London. In Britain he had conferred on measures to be taken when the monsoon lifts in the fall. By that time war materials of every sort can flow from the battles in the West to battles still to be fought in the East. Meantime, the Southeast Asia Command had time for recapitulation and appraisal.

In London, "Dicky" Mountbatten, looking fit and showing no trace of an eye...

THE CONGRESS: Sad Little Session

The 86th Congress passed away whimpering. The short, post-convention summer session ordered by the Democratic leadership to make campaign hay turned into a Democratic fiasco. Bill after bill was either stopped dead or hacked to pieces by a disciplined coalition of Republicans and conservative Southern Democrats. Dick Nixon would not have to explain away any awkward presidential vetoes during his campaign, because President Eisenhower had not had to use his veto.* Although on adjourning Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson and House Speaker Sam Rayburn pointed with customary pride, they could not camouflage the failure.

Mexico: The Amigo Americans

The sleazy, wide-open border town of Tijuana attracts hundreds of pleasure-bent college students each spring. One band of California youngsters, 300 strong, had more to show for their Mexican trip this year than hangovers or tourist trinkets. They spent Easter vacations in Tijuana's forlorn slum district, building an X-ray clinic, a food and drug warehouse, a free-milk bar for youngsters and a 16-crib hospital for infants.

Whirlwind Worker. The new buildings are part of a burgeoning welfare complex known as the Juarez-Lincoln Social Center — and of an ambitious private program called Project Amigos. Both were started three years ago,...

LETTERS TO FELICE by FRANZ KAFKA Edited by ERICH HELLER and JURGEN BORN Translated by JAMES STERN and ELISABETH DUCKWORTH 620 pages. Schocken Books. $17.50.

Nobody could be clearer about the incomprehensibility of the world than Franz Kafka. Novels such as The Trial and The Castle, stories such as "The Metamorphosis," "The Hunger Artist" and "The Burrow" are the Grimm's fairy tales of the modern cloven spirit. Ordinary men awake to find they are helpless insects, or are found guilty of unknown crimes by unknown judges. One man wastes away in a...

This top runs very big. I wear a 10 and ordered the US size 10. My 6'4" large husband could wear this, it was that big. Absolutely beautiful material and drapes like nothing I have ever seen. Lovely, very expensive though and am thinking twice about reordering it again. I do think it is gorgeous. Just not sure as what to order in size now?

This is the 2nd exchange for sizing I have done. I first tried a 10 since that is my size. It was huge. I sent back and reordered a 6 (42). Huge. It is huge on the shoulders and feels like the sizing for a man's t-shirt. For this price and ill fit, I guess I am not meant to have it. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 overall. The shirt is beautiful.

I took the advice of the other reviewers and ordered a size 6 (I usually wear a size 8 to 10). The top was a perfect fit. I ordered the beige color-not the usual color for me but it is a gorgeous color on the silky fabric. I love the top. It looks elegant and classic. It washes well, also.

Garwood Candidates React to Council Election Results

Democrats Bill Nierstedt and Ann Palmer have won the two available seats on Garwood borough council.

It was the Democrats who pulled off a win again this year in Garwood.

Democratic candidates Bill Nierstedt and Ann Palmer beat incumbent Tim Hak and newcomer Mike Martin for three-year terms on borough council.

This win changes the voting makeup of council from a 50/50 split of Democrats and Republicans to a Democratic majority.

"I'm happy our efforts paid off and I'm proud of the great team behind us," Palmer told Patch. "We knocked on almost every door, we listened to residents' concerns, and I'm eager to get started in January. I'm just excited to do some good work for Garwood."

"A dedicated and hard-working group of people succeeded at returning an experienced team to Garwood borough council," Nierstedt told Patch. "We did listen to comments residents raised as we walked door to door, and we're looking forward to reaching bipartisan resolutions to these issues that will be for the betterment of all Garwood residents."

Garwood has switched political allegiances over the years: It was victory for the Democrats last year, also, when incumbents Louis Petruzzelli and Sara Todisco retained their seats against challengers Carol Kearny and Steven Blaufeder. The year before that, in 2010, was just the opposite - the Republican candidates (Mayor Patricia Quattrocchi and Councilmembers Jim Mathieu and Victor DeFilippo) pulled a full sweep.

Republican incumbent Tim Hak was gracious in defeat.

"I'm disappointed, of course, but I'm glad for the opportunity I had to serve this community," Hak told Patch. "I'm happy that Bill and Ann are people who genuinely care about this town. They are good people, and I like them both."

Hak's running mate, Mike Martin, could not be reached for comment at this time.

Dist. 1 Dist. 2 Dist. 3 Dist. 4 TOTAL Timothy Hak (R) 182 257 178 136 753 Mike Martin (R) 181 251 178 121 731 Bill Nierstedt (D) 239 315 201 141 896 Ann Palmer (D) 229 290 187 143 849

Norah O'Donnell: It's Clear That Sarah Palin Is The Main Attraction At McCain Rally

As I already noted, things aren't looking too good for John McCain in his Arizona Senate primary race against J.D. Hayworth. Norah O'Donnell talks to

As I already noted, things aren't looking too good for John McCain in his Arizona Senate primary race against J.D. Hayworth. Norah O'Donnell talks to some Republican women and asks why they came to the rally and it's pretty clear from their remarks that they're big fans of Sarah Palin. She describes the three women she talked to as "very involved in politics" and said one of them was running for office for the City Council. She ended the segment with this:

O'Donnell: So Contessa, there you see, I mean it's a good group of Republican women here. This is a rally for John McCain, but there's a lot of people who've come out to see Sarah Palin. He was the Republican nominee in the last election. He was at the top of the ticket, but it's clear that Sarah Palin is now the main attraction.

There are a number of things that struck me after watching this interview along with all of the coverage of this event by the other networks, especially Fox. One, they all treated this with as much hype, and MSNBC even extended their coverage for the day to show the rally, as one would expect from something like a presidential campaign, not a primary race for a Senate seat. It seems all of the networks and not just Fox are doing their best to hype Palin as someone to take seriously as a presidential candidate. That is especially true when you combine this with the media attention she’s getting at these tea bagger rallies.

The other is that these women would look at her as some kind of role model. Here’s the kind of nonsense they had to say about her.

On why they support her:

I love her energy, her passion for doing the right thing.

She’s a good person to bring more energy and more interest into women in politics and not only that but the women that support the men who are in politics. We don’t get enough credit.

On whether she’s inciting violence:

I don’t. I listened to her last night. She’s not about violence, she’s about doing the right thing and I think she’s just trying to get people energized again and passionate about our party.

On how few Republican women are in office:

That’s correct and that’s why we like Sarah because she’s bringing attention to our plight that we need more support and we’ve got tons of things out there for women now, more educational programs to get involved in, get mentored and get up there.

How you project those types of feelings on someone who quit her job as Governor of Alaska, has been using the violent rhetoric we've all heard from her since McCain first announced her as his former running mate, and who decided cashing in as a celebrity was a better gig than working in public service for a living is beyond me. I guess that's why I'm not a Republican. There doesn't appear to me to be an ounce of logic to what any of these women said.

i have not posted in a while cuz my computer went down and still is. i do read the posts from another computer. i am saddened by some and rejoicing with others. at this time i still do not know anything about me. my surg from mayo still has not given me an opinion on my films from sept. i am on a new treatment cpt 11 and erbutux. its kickin my butt too and i have a hard time some days. one day i spent the whole day crying i am just sooooo emotionally drained right now. i have been on some form of treatment for almost 2 yrs and i think it is starting to get to me. i know i should not complain i have so many blessings in my life like more time with my family, but sometimes its hard. i have multiple lesions in the lungs that i am waiting to hear if they are operable or not. my cea is 2.5 and that makes me uncomfortable. i am praying that all will turn out well and i will be blessed to be here with my children for years to come. not knowing is the worst. i would even be willing to have a lung transplant if that would solve this problem. i love Chirstmas and am planning to spend it with no side affects from chemo. i have treatment 3 weeks on 1 off so friday is my last treatment for a week. i will continue to fight this beast although my body feels as though it is just hollow and i could just fall over yet my feet keep movin and my smiles and helping others just keeps coming. i hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and may the new year bring better things. thanks for listening and any encouragement will do.

I dont know what to say besides I wish you all the best. A mother's love is irreplaceable. Your children need and deserve to have you with them. My future mother in law bought a beautiful painting painted by a women who had breast cancer that spread to her lungs. It's called "This too shall pass". Thats the truth. Its 4 years later and this lady is still painting CANCER FREE. Keep the faith - your children need you too.

Sweet, nettie, I have had you on my mind and in my prayers. I check my email every day to see if I have heard from you. Dont get discouraged. None of us know what tomorrow holds, but you have today and today you are breathing and here with your family and all of us. I love Christmas too. It is my FAVORITE time of year and I thank God that I have this Christmas with my family as well. As we both have said to each other, we KNOW who IS in control and that He has a future and a hope for you and for your children. He isnt going to leave you or forsake you, so you are not alone. He is our refuge and our strength especially when we are sick and tired of fighting the effects of this world so He picks us up and carries us. Just remember, one day at a time, one step at a time. And remember you are LOVED! Please email me when you can and keep posting at least here so I can check on you.

I can't remember if I came back to share my clean PET results or not. Anyway, NED!

However, I have a bump on the side of my tongue that's worrying the heck out of me. It popped up when I had thrush last month and is still there. I'm going next week to have it looked at in case it's something nasty that was too small for the scan to detect. Sometimes I feel like I don't get a break from worrying. :o/

and Grr!  NED is so wonderful.  Sorry to hear about the "spot", though.  I know how it is - during the rational moments, you know it's all good - but none of us can avoid "what if?" completely.

Hoping that this time next month month, you're telling the story, and laughing at yourself for worrying.

The bump on your tongue is most likely nothing. It might simply be scar tissue. Keep us posting none the less so we can help you celebrate once again when they tell you you're fine :-)

Women In Bondage

bigstock-Daily-Sin--A-Shoe-Slave--42382858 (3)

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:18 (ESV)

When people hear a woman is in bondage they might think of drugs, alcohol, or harmful relationships. With this Centuries woman in bondage goes deeper. Some women are in bondage with their careers. You might say how could this be a problem? Who wouldn’t want to climb the ladder to success? It is a problem if you are willing to sacrifice your family, your body or your soul. When a woman is in bondage with her job how much time do she spend with her children? How many times does she spend with her husband? If she is at work consistently to include out of town training who is taking care of the home to include her husband? There is nothing wrong with having a career especially if you are a single mother, but to what extent?

The television show “America Next Top Model, ” is a good example of these young girls in bondage. They are looking for fame in the camera. They become bitter, jealous and angry against their competitors. If they lose, they are crush and some of these women feel like life is not worth living. They are in bondage with themselves. Is this what God had in mind when He created a woman?

Some women holdoff on having children until they make it pass the glass ceiling. They desire no husband they feel a man will hold them back. In some cases it might, however is this what God wanted when He created women? They will use a donor from the sperm bank. Is this what God had in mind when He said “Be fruitful and multiply? There is another new show called “Sisterhood of Hip Hop. ” These women dress very provocative and clearly stated “It is their desire to become the next hip hop star “Women in bondage.” Is this what God had in mind when He created women?
Yes, some women had to step up to the head of the line when their spouse was sick, could not find a job or no man was in the home.

God used many women in the bible. See the scriptures below. No matter what these women were assigned to do by God or they chose to do women still considered marriage and giving birth to children their most cherished role. Jesus maintained a high respect for womanhood, as did God.

Don’t let this become your bondage! Don’t let society change your role as a woman! If you are raising your family without a man, you can still be the woman, God created you to be. He wants you to be HOLY.  CWL xPress Online Magazine would love to hear from you leave a comment below.

Some Car Race Just Keeps Killing People

In the ninth stage of the Dakar Rally, an Australian motorcyclist named Andy Caldecott died in a crash.

Then, in the thirteenth stage, a 10-year-old Guinean boy was killed after being hit by one of the cars in the competition.

And yesterday, in the fourteenth stage, a 12-year-old boy was killed in Senegal after being hit by a support truck.

The race ends tomorrow, thank the fucking stars. I think I speak for all of us here at Deadspin when I say that we're against car races that kill people at about the same rate as Total Recall. If any of you out there are planning on attending the final stages of the Dakar Rally, be sure to take the appropriate precautions, like staying home and playing Scrabble instead.

The Only Logical Thing To Wear To A Gymnastics Meet

As part of some sort of apparent fraternity hazing ritual at the University of Georgia, two guys showed up to a UGA-LSU gymnastics meet dressed like this.

On a certain level, it makes a modicum of sense. Is it any less a sensible outfit than a leotard?

Deadspin's College Football Top 25 Or So: Hi, Tide!

It's time for the final installment of Deadspin's college football rankings. As always, the teams are ranked according to the logic and values of college football, no matter how bizarre or contradictory they may be.

1. Alabama (12-1) Previous rank: 13

And so it went, as the Crimson Tide jack-stomped the balls off of every conceptual or logical objection to their title-game appearance, thrust-hammering the previously undefeated LSU Tigers to a hammer-stomped pulp. Power defense and grinding offense—Cult of the Coach discipline and staunch conservatism—discredited the whole premise of the loose, multifarious LSU squad; the final score was infinity to nothing. The Tigers didn't belong on the same field as the Crimson Tide, and they literalized that cliche by spending almost the entire game outside the 50-yard line. The one time LSU crossed into Alabama territory, they turned tail and promptly and apologetically fumbled the ball back into their own end. Alabama is college football.

2. [Vacant] Previous rank: 12

Uh, yeah. No.

3. USC (10-2) Previous rank: 4

The Pac-12 South crypto-champions, bowl-ineligible outlaws that they are, learned that quarterback Matt Barkley will be staying around next year for their return to legitimate postseason competition.

4. (tie) Oklahoma State (12-1) Previous rank: 3
4. (tie) Boise State (12-1) Previous rank: 22
4. (tie) Houston (13-1) Previous rank: 23

The Cowboys "beat" Stanford, 41-38, in "overtime" in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Broncos beat Arizona State, 56-24, in the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas. The Cougars beat Penn State, 30-14, in the TicketCity Bowl. All three high-powered offenses might have done a better job attacking downfield against Alabama's defense in the championship game than LSU did, if only Alabama had crushed LSU in the regular season, thereby opening the door for—just kidding! Forget the hypotheticals. A one-loss season is a fine accomplishment. Run along now.

7. (tie) Oregon (12-2) Previous rank: 6
7. (tie) South Carolina (11-2) Previous rank: 16
7. (tie) Arkansas (10-2) Previous rank: 17

The Ducks beat Wisconsin, 45-38, in the Rose Bowl, showing off their ultra-shiny helmets on television. Success in Beaverton! Did we say "Beaverton"? We meant "Eugene."

The Gamecocks beat Nebraska, 30-13, in the Capital One Bowl. The Razorbacks beat Kansas State, 29-16, in the Cotton Bowl. For the SEC, bowl season was like the after-dinner pastry cart.

10. Southern Miss (12-2) Previous rank: 8

The Golden Eagles beat Nevada, 24-17, in the Hawaii Bowl. A stunning upset victory for the conference championship, a bowl-game win, and a free trip to Honolulu—how many teams had a better year than that, really?

11. Navy (5-7) Previous rank: 2

No bowl game. Still beat Army, though.

12. Baylor (9-3) Previous rank: 14

Robert Griffin III and the Bears went out on a dazzling and/or comical note, beating Washington, 67-56, in the Alamo Bowl. The dueling offenses combined for 1,390 yards, including 482 yards on the ground for Baylor, which had a 200-yard rusher and two more 100-yard rushers. Two and a half weeks later, in the national championship game, the TV crew would end up awarding its Allstate Good Hands Play honors to the holder for Alabama's placekicking unit.

13. TCU (11-2) Previous rank: 7

The Horned Frogs beat Louisiana Tech, 31-24, in the Poinsettia Bowl.

14. Northern Illinois (11-3) Previous rank: 11

The Huskies beat Arkansas State, 38-20, in the Bowl.

15. (tie) Michigan (11-2) Previous rank: 19
15. (tie) Michigan State (11-3) Previous rank: 21

The Wolverines "beat" Virginia Tech, 23-20, in "overtime" in the Sugar Bowl; the Spartans "beat" Georgia, 33-30, in "triple overtime" in the Outback Bowl.

17. West Virginia (10-3) Previous rank: unranked

The Mountaineers beat Clemson, 70 to Who Cares, in the Orange Bowl. Seventy points!

18. (tie) Stanford (11-2) Previous rank: 15
18. (tie) Georgia (10-3) Previous rank: 18

The Cardinal "lost" to Oklahoma State, 41-38, in "overtime" in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl; the Bulldogs "lost" to Michigan State, 33-30, in "triple overtime" in the Outback Bowl. Also, holy Toledo, Georgia's mascot is a hopelessly inbred and medically doomed mutant. Feh!

20. (tie) Wisconsin (11-3) Previous rank: 5
20. (tie) Arkansas State (10-3) Previous rank: 9
20. (tie) Kansas State (10-3) Previous rank: 20

Lost, lost, and lost.

23. Clemson (10-4) Previous rank: 10

Seventy points!

118. LSU (13-1) Previous rank: 1

Thirteen great games can't overcome one moment: Les Miles sending out the punting unit, on fourth-and-4, trailing 15-0 in the fourth quarter of the national championship game. Make that two moments: Miles sending out the punting squad again, trailing 21-0. Les Miles quit on his team.

Les Miles quit on his team. The frothing rage directed at quarterback Jordan Jefferson misses the point. Jefferson was simply the embodiment of his coach's game plan, which is to say, his coach's total lack of a game plan.

LSU's advantage all season long was that it had waves of skilled players. On offense, the Tigers attacked with a platoon of powerful running backs, infrequently but devastatingly turning to a dangerous receiving corps, with Jefferson as a scrambling/option-pitching/throwing triple threat. When Jefferson was unavailable early in the season, second-string QB Jarrett Lee had shown the ability to run an orthodox passing game.

But given more than five weeks to draw up schemes for attacking Alabama's defense—a defense that had held LSU to two field goals in regulation the first time they met—Miles came up with nothing. Or if he did come up with something, he panicked and forgot it. His lone idea was Jefferson. Specifically, it was to try to have Jefferson attack the edges of the Alabama defense.

The trouble was, there was no edge. LSU's players couldn't outrun the Alabama defense side to side, and Jefferson's option pitches and passes to the flat weren't crisp enough to beat the defenders outside, either. By the second quarter, this was obvious. By the third quarter, it was baffling.

Miles didn't try to adjust. Jarret Lee was only the most obvious case—the vertical-game passer pinned to the bench long after the lateral attack had failed. As Bobby Hebert suggested afterward, in Miles's miserable press session, it's not that Alabama wouldn't have eaten Lee alive, too; it was that Miles wouldn't even take that risk. But it wasn't only the quarterbacking. No. 3 receiver Russell Shepard tweeted "OMG I played 3 plays..." The season's top rushers, Michael Ford and Spencer Ware, got four and three carries respectively; Jefferson had more carries than LSU's entire running-back corps. Les Miles didn't remember he had running backs. He did remember he had a punter, though.

119. Auburn (8-5) Previous rank: unranked

The now-former national champions beat Virginia, 43-24, in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, then watched Alabama take possession of the BCS championship trophy.

120. Penn State (9-3) Previous rank: 120

Every Hilarious Reaction Shot From Norm Macdonald's ESPYs Monologue

Every year ESPN drags out the three-hour press release that is the ESPYs and every year we post the above video of Norm Macdonald's monologue from the 1998 ESPYs.

Rick Reilly Trolls Norm Macdonald And Norm Returns The Favor Tenfold

Yesterday, Norm Macdonald spent a good portion of the day live-tweeting golf. For those following Norm, it was probably good fun.
