McClaren Gives Hint He’s Serious About Winning A Cup

6:02 pm, Monday, September 14th, 2015 by Dr. Ed Harrison · 45 Comments

Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren has said that he is going to block any moves made in the loan period for both Mike Williamson and Yoan Gouffran, and that tells us Steve is both sensible and  also serious about trying to win something this season.

The goal is to finish in the top eight in the Premier League and to win a cup, and if we have any chance of doing that – we need a big squad – we need strength in depth.

Mike Williamson – after scoring against Northampton
Brilliantly set up by Florian Thauvin

McClaren was asked by reporters during an interview whether he was looking to loan out Mike Williamson and Yoan Gouffran, and this is what he said:

“No, we’re not.” “I think our squad is OK. You know, if you get injuries and things they will be needed.” “I also think we’ve got cup competitions.”

“We used the cup last time very well for the squad, and we’re looking also to the next game to use it very well for the squad.”

“We’ve got a good squad, a strong squad, and we’ve got motivation. They can see a game ahead, and they can see the team is not established yet.”

This is the first season in a very long time since Newcastle had some strength in depth – and Mike and Yoan very rarely make the bench these days.

But Steve’s right,  that if we are to do well in both the Premier League and the two local Cup competitions – we will need them at some stage this season.

Given the number of injuries we seem to pick up each season, Newcastle should have bigger squads than most – but the opposite had been true under owner Mike Ashley – until now.

Mike Ashley didn’t push to sell any players when we brought in four good players over the summer – who all look to be starters for Newcastle this season.

Last January and through the middle of April we were threadbare in terms of the players we had available, and Newcastle struggled through the season and only just avoided relegation.

That wasn’t helped by Alan Pardew leaving the club in early January.

We certainly don’t want to do that again this season, so Steve McClaren is showing his experience and savvy in keeping both Yoan and Mike at the club.

What do you think?

Comments welcome.

    We might win an egg and spoon race

  • 2 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:24 PM

    Finish in the top 8 this season???? Hahahahaha!!! We’re 18th with a -3 goal difference already. Eighth place has 7 points, we have 2 (with a game in hand). Lets be realistic here. Anything higher than 14th is a bonus. When is this club going to stop fantasizing?

  • 3 jesperfuglsang - capt'n awesome of the lemon crew // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:24 PM

    What’s the lineup?

  • 4 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:28 PM

    Also, let’s see a cup run before we start talking about winning one.

  • 5 jesperfuglsang - capt'n awesome of the lemon crew // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:29 PM

    GT…I’ll give Macca one third of the season to show what he can do…I know I’ll probably end up giving him beyond January but he was never the manager I wanted!

    . ..not by a long shot!

    Off Topic ; if you get bored with the pre-match build up;

    Newcastle United is a ‘monster’ and will never return to the glory days, says John Carver

  • 7 Tjodalf // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:30 PM

    the lineup is the list of players that will start the match.
    It is also sometimes shown with the assumed formation in which the team is supposed to start.

  • 8 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:30 PM

    Good question jesper mate. I haven’t seen one yet.

  • 9 Mick // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:30 PM

    if we win tonight we are two points off, if we lose its still only five, thats not a lot really.

  • 10 Sliema // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:30 PM

    Whilst I agree we’ve got little to no chance of finishing top 8, I really don’t see much relevance in the points tally so far. You say we are 5 points behing with a game in hand…. erm…. is that a lot in your opinion?

    Everyone has made their judgements for the season already, we might as well end it now then.

  • 11 Tjodalf // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:31 PM

    Additionally I can inform you that it is available after 1hr before kick-off..

  • 12 Sliema // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:32 PM

    Can’t remember an early line-up announcement ever happening mate, kinda daft question unless we are an hour before KO innit?

  • 13 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:33 PM

    That’s fair jesper mate. Thirteen games or so to get some points in the bag. Let’s see…..Hmm. I’m thinking 12 points from the first 13 matches. I wonder where that will leave us?

  • 14 Mick // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:34 PM

    not all

  • 15 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:35 PM

    Good points Sliema mate. I’m predicting 12 pts from the first 13 as well however. I’m not sure where that will put us in the table but definitely not top 8. If we continue to rebuild the squad in January and next summer we could be a decent team by next season. I would think top 8 is a fair goal for next season but not this one mate.

  • 16 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:36 PM

    I think this is a multi-year rebuilding process if Mike has the stones for it. Otherwise expect more of the same. Several seasons in the bottom 10 I mean. Dead wood abounds mates.

  • 17 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:38 PM

    Not enough attack, and not enough defense. That still describes us fairly well.

  • 18 Mick // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:38 PM

    shit’s creek, but we aren’t fortune tellers so lets decide in a few games time, is that not fair

  • 19 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:39 PM

    I’ll listen for some other predictions now. I’m interested to hear how much people think we have progressed.

  • 20 Mister Tuff // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:40 PM

    Cannot see where the goals are coming from – so I’m going for a defeat.
    IF Carroll plays it will be interesting to see if we can withstand an aerial battering.
    Very impressed with a couple of the Leicester midfielders last night cutting Villa open time and time again. They look better than us.
    If we’d only got a couple of more players in the summer!

  • 21 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:40 PM

    That is fair Mick mate @18. But let’s get our predictions in now. Not much point predicting after the games actually happen. That’s the fun of it.

  • 22 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:41 PM

    Spot on Mr. Tuff @20. We spent 50M pounds in the summer but the owner had already destroyed the squad with several years of sitting on his hands.

  • 23 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:42 PM

    Tjodalf from what fair country do you come?

  • 24 toon kk // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:42 PM

    it will be interesting to see if we turn up tonight. One thing for sure we”ll be sitting back and trying to catch them on the break. lets hope we can break the 30percent possession barrior.
    As for winning a cup, the only cup we will get is a cup of tea

  • 25 Sliema // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:44 PM

    If I was forced to give a prediction I’d say 12th regardless of what we do in January, but injuries could ruin that.

    I think we have made progress, we have strengthened with a better class of player it would appear. However I think it is just too early to tell how much progress has been made.

    If we hadn’t been down to 10 men for so much of the first 4 matches it would have been clearer, but a new manager, new coaches and new players take time!!!

    People judging already are the reason the rest of the footballing world thinks we are a bunch of unrealistic and impatient fans.

  • 26 Tjodalf // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:47 PM

    GeordieTwo: I’m from the fairest country of them all…ish. Norway. Where are you from then, G2?

  • 27 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:47 PM

    Any other predictions for the match mates? What kind of half time entertainment do the Hammers have on offer? A goat rodeo? Midget wrestling? I know their supporters love to blow bubbles but we need more than that….

  • 28 Mick // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:50 PM

    Progressed, and how much, wow, what I mean is have we progressed, last season for a while under Pardew we sat back and soaked it up and then hit them on the break in numbers which won us quite a few games, similar now apart from Pardew being able to get us to break in numbers whereas Macca hasn’t whilst defending as Pardew did.

    Still early days mind, time will tell.

    However Anita and Colback as a pairing will have us struggling as they are not strong enough, we have to sort that out, Tiote and Cabaye were rarely dominated as those two lightweight’s have been.

  • 29 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:50 PM

    I’m from Newcastle but live in Canada Tjodalf mate. I’m on the west coast. It’s wild and wooly out here. That’s a decent prediction Sliema mate. 12th is bold but not too bold. Daring, yet slightly conservative…..I like it!!!

  • 30 WWSBRD // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:51 PM

    3-1 Toon

  • 31 Sliema // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:52 PM

    I’m going 1-1 for tonight with Gini to bag a point for us. Hope I’m wrong and we get the 3 points though!!!!

  • 32 BandB // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:53 PM

    I have my fingers crossed for 11-11 at the end.

  • 33 MadisonToon // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:53 PM

    I’d say we’ve come quite a ways in this window, but that quite a ways just puts us in the middle of the pack and no further.

    Four players signed of the caliber that should be our starting 11. No players signed that should be our ‘marquee’ players. You’d hope for 7/8 quality outfield players and a couple of ‘marquee’ players in a top 6 team (should be our goal). That would also come with a top-notch GK (which we have, IMHO) and 3-4 bench players that should be of the same level as the quality on the pitch and then a couple of youngsters gunning to get some time who round out the matchday squad.

    Of that assessment of where I think we are really aiming to be, we currently have GK sorted and the four signings from this window, Janmaat and Sissoko as 6 quality outfield players. We still need another 1-2 of that kind to start and 3-4 on the bench (so 4-6 more of this same caliber) and a couple of marquee signings (Lukaku-esque). We are far from that but if we can continue with a +4 on quality players each window, it will be two/three more windows (probably four since Januarys are less likely to have the same quality available). In terms of an assessment, we’ve done well but have a long ways to go.

    Is that too ambitious? Not ambitious enough? Do we have others currently in the squad that you’d count in our starting XI after our rebuilding is done?

  • 34 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:54 PM

    Interesting thoughts Mick @28. We do still have many weaknesses. That’s what I mean about the dead wood. Just not enough quality with the amount of money other clubs are spending and have spent over the last 2 or 3 seasons. Mike still lives in Cloud Cuckoo Land as far as I can tell. A mediocre manager after a complete tosser (Johnny C.) after another mediocre manager. A mediocre Managing Director after several twits. It all adds up to bottom 10.

  • 35 MadisonToon // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:55 PM

    For tonight, I’m going with a 2-1 win. I think Cisse will get a crap goal and Thauvin or Gini will get the other. We will let one in as that’s what we do.

  • 36 Sliema // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:56 PM

    My pick:
    DJ – Mbemba – Colo – Haid
    Gini – Colback/Anita?
    Socks – De Jong/Perez – Thauvin

    I’d love to see Tayls at the back with Mbemba for a match or two and to give colo a try in a cdm role… he would’nt need to be so quick in there and he’s a lot stronger than anita or colback.

  • 37 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:57 PM

    On the plus side we managed to hang on to the Belgian midget strikers, we no longer have Johnny C. hanging aboot, and eventually we are going to win a match this season….

  • 38 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 6:59 PM

    Good analysis Madison Toon @33. If we’re in the bottom 6 at Christmas will Steve keep his job mates?

  • 39 bladeuser // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:00 PM

    So s Mac is serious about winning a cup
    So decides to keep willo and gouffy
    The man is a genius
    Right s Mac how about winning a game in the epl
    I too did not want this wally as manager

  • 40 firebug666 // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:01 PM

    #NUFC at West Ham: Krul, Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini (c), Haïdara, Colback, Anita, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Thauvin, Cissé.

  • 41 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:01 PM

    An 11-11 score is a rarity in the Prem BandB mate. Or do you mean both clubs keep 11 players on the pitch until the end? With Mito out that might just be possible… 😯

  • 42 firebug666 // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:03 PM

    #NUFC subs at West Ham: Darlow, Lascelles, Gouffran, Obertan, Aarons, de Jong, Perez.

  • 43 BandB // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:03 PM

    We have a good record in our last 10 meetings or so with West Ham.
    I’m going for a win…and G2…what do you think?
    I’m sure Steve will see keeping 11 players on the pitch for 90 minutes as some sort of progress.

  • 44 Mick // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:09 PM

    Give me a gun and I will shoot Ashley for you, well actually I wouldn’t that was a figure of speech.

    I gave up my season ticket 3 years ago after many years of having it, my choice, I have to say that if we had had this transfer market 2 summers ago would I have kept my ticket, possibly not sure, yes we have spent this summer but is it enough or is it enough to keep us out of the bottom three, the season ending followed by the following expected strengthening will tell us that.

  • 45 GeordieTwo // Sep 14, 2015 at 7:10 PM

    I’m thinking a 1-2 loss BandB mate. A goal for Cisse but 2 for them. I’m hoping Carroll doesn’t score if he plays.

Fair, Robust Resolution Needed for Gulf Oil Disaster

"BP should not be let off the hook with a low settlement and allowed to shortchange the Gulf.”

10-18-2012 // Jaclyn McDougal
Oil burning in Gulf of Mexico

To avoid a trial for the Gulf oil disaster, recent reports suggest BP has offered amounts ranging from $16 to $18 billion—an inadequate amount that is less than half of the total liability to repair what is the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

“BP should not be let off the hook with a low settlement and allowed to shortchange the Gulf,” said John Kostyack, vice president of wildlife conservation at the National Wildlife Federation. “A low settlement leaves the Gulf of Mexico more vulnerable to further deterioration from natural and manmade disasters, as well as demonstrates to polluters that they will not be held fully accountable.”

BP must accept responsibility under relevant federal laws including the Clean Water Act, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary today, as well as The Oil Pollution Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Endangered Species Act and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and embrace a long term process of restoration.

The settlement must fully repair, or at least pay for, all damage to natural resources caused by the Gulf oil disaster, especially considering reports of a new oil slick and loss of access to natural resources during the disaster.

“It will take an investment of tens of billions of dollars to restore the Gulf over the long-term,” said Dr. Ian MacDonald, professor of  Oceanography, Florida State University. “Crucial data is still being gathered to assess the damage for the Gulf oil disaster, so a potentially low settlement now is cause for concern.”

We are a long way from knowing how Egypt will turn out. The government is using all of its power — including a promised 15 percent raise for federal workers — to try to hang on. The opposition is courageously pushing back, and, on Tuesday, it drew thousands of supporters to Liberation Square.

The United States and the European Union may not have been able to wheedle or push President Hosni Mubarak from power. Still, they badly miscalculated when they endorsed Egypt’s vice president, Omar Suleiman, to lead the transition to democracy.

Mr. Suleiman may talk sweetly to Washington and Brussels. But he appears far more interested in maintaining as much of the old repressive order as he can get away with. That is unacceptable to Egypt’s people, and it should be unacceptable to Egypt’s Western supporters.

President Obama said the right things last week when he demanded that democratic change in Egypt start “now.” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s recent statements that change would “take some time” have taken the pressure off. Mr. Obama needs to regain his voice and press Mr. Suleiman to either begin a serious process of reform or get out of the way.

The protesters have won some important concessions. They forced Mr. Mubarak to forsake re-election. Mr. Mubarak’s son and Mr. Suleiman, a former intelligence chief, also will not run. On Saturday, the government opened a dialogue with the opposition — including the long-banned Muslim Brotherhood.

More reform was promised, but it has been hard to take that seriously after Mr. Mubarak gave himself the sole power to appoint a panel to recommend constitutional amendments.

And while Mr. Suleiman was conciliatory in the early days of the protests, his recent public statements have been chilling. He said he does not believe it is time to lift the three-decade-old emergency law that has been used to suppress and imprison opposition leaders. Most alarming, he said the country’s “culture” is not yet ready for democracy.

Mr. Suleiman is not going to do what’s needed on his own. So the United States and its allies will have to lay down a clear list of steps that are the minimum for holding a credible vote this year and building a democracy.

The Egyptian government cannot choose which reforms to dole out when. Opposition leaders must participate in all aspects of the reform process. The emergency law must be lifted and Egyptians guaranteed freedom of speech and association. All detained protesters must be freed and the government-allied forces who viciously attacked demonstrators last week must be prosecuted.

The government and the opposition need to jointly set a date for elections and establish an independent commission to oversee the process. Egyptian and international monitors will need to observe the vote and the count. The government and opposition will need to work together to establish criteria for registering parties and candidates and ensure that all have access to the news media.

Then the full debate over Egypt’s future can take place and the Egyptian people can decide.

With life term overturned, supporters rally for man's release

View slideshow
Before the hearing scheduled for Jesus Aguirre Jr., Silvia Giron, mother, is comforted by Jesus Aguirre, father, and Los Amigos of Orange County member Marti Schrank, right, of Fullerton as she is overcome with emotion during a rally where friends and family show up support for Jesus Aguirre Jr. Friday morning outside the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. KEN STEINHARDT, STAFF PHOTOGRTAPHER

SANTA ANA – The family of a man who’s spent more than four years behind bars for his role in a Buena Park shooting when he was 16 years old is pushing for his release.

About 25 people, including his parents and activists, rallied in front of the courthouse Friday ahead of a scheduled re-sentencing hearing for Jesus Aguirre Jr., now 21. But the hearing was postponed until October.

Standing in front of the Central Justice Center, people held signs with messages including “Free Jesus Aguirre Now,” “End Police Terror” and “Jail All Killer Cops,” which drew supportive honks from a few passing motorists and a fist pump of approval from one.

In February, a state appeals court upheld Aguirre’s 2012 jury convictions on attempted murder, assault and gang charges. But a Court of Appeal panel reversed consecutive life sentences, saying Aguirre’s lawyer failed to raise key issues before sentencing, making it impossible to say whether the sentence is cruel and unusual under the state constitution.

Aguirre could still get a life sentence after his new lawyer presents evidence to Superior Court Judge William Froeberg.

The victim, Ramon Magana, couldn’t be reached for comment. Aguirre’s relatives and supporters said a life sentence is unfair because Magana was shot only with birdshot, which didn’t seriously injure him, and because Aguirre was not the shooter.

The family and some supporters also said they believe Aguirre, who is Hispanic, has been treated unfairly by the justice system because of his ethnicity.

After the jury convicted Aguirre and found several gang allegations true, Froeberg sentenced him to life in prison with a chance of parole, plus a consecutive sentence of 25 years to life.

Ever since, his family has been counting the days.

“He has 1,554 days,” Aguirre’s father, Jesus Sr., said Friday as he stood at the rally. He wore a T-shirt with a photo of his son taken a few months before his arrest.

Nearby, Aguirre’s mother, Silvia Giron, cried and was comforted by a supporter.

Prosecutors say Aguirre was a member of the Eastside Buena Park gang. A police officer testified he had arrested Aguirre before and seen him associating with other gang members.

On March 13, 2010, Aguirre and fellow gang member Martin Solorio were at the Walden Glen apartment complex when they saw someone they thought was a rival gang member, according to the appeals court ruling. But it was Magana, a member of a friendly gang.

In a later conversation secretly recorded in a juvenile detention center, Aguirre said he handed a loaded shotgun to Solorio, who shot Magana.

“I should have smoked that fool,” Aguirre said after calling the victim “a bitch.”

Magana testified he didn’t know who shot him and didn’t remember anything about the incident.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled it’s cruel and unusual under the Eighth Amendment to sentence a juvenile to life without parole for any offense besides a homicide. Under Froeberg’s sentence, Aguirre would have been eligible for parole at age 49, so the term was not unconstitutional by federal standards, the appeals court said.

But it could be cruel and unusual under California law. The Court of Appeal said it couldn’t tell because Aguirre’s former lawyer essentially “did nothing” to help his client at sentencing: He didn’t review the probation report with Aguirre and didn’t argue that the sentence was disproportionate.

Manuel Peña, a member of the social-justice organization Los Amigos of Orange County, called a life sentence for a 16-year-old who committed such a crime “heavy-handed.”

“We’re not saying that the kid’s an angel. We’re just saying that justice has not been done,” Peña said.

UCLA's Hundley takes a slide forward

UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley, shown here at the beginning of the 2012 season, has been working on some of the nuances of the game this spring. MICHAEL GOULDING, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

UCLA Spring Game

When: Saturday

Site, time: Rose Bowl, 5 p.m.

LOS ANGELES – UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley gave glimpses into what could be a bright future in Westwood in the 13 games it took for him to become the team's most important football player in over a decade, a future Heisman hopeful, and the Bruins' best chance at winning their first Pac-12 title since 1998.

It wasn't just what Hundley did in his freshman season that seemed to electrify a long-dormant program to one of its best season in a decade, but rather how he did it: extending plays that only a crafty, wildly athletic player could make; late-game, rally-around-him brand of leadership; and deep, accurate bombs that fell safe and sound and near-effortlessly into his receivers' hands.

It's those things that have some saying Hundley could perhaps be special. Maybe even great.

But on an otherwise normal Wednesday morning, at the ninth practice of UCLA's spring camp, the greatest sign of improvement in Hundley's second season as starter didn't come from his arm or his legs or his confidence – all of which have improved steadily over the course of the last season. Rather, the best sign of the sophomore's exciting transformation in year two came from a simple, well-executed slide.

Sliding is an unnatural thing for most quarterbacks, almost all of which would likely concede they'd rather leg out an extra yard or two than ensure their own protection. The act itself requires a certain vulnerability, to lean back and expose one's self to an easy hit, and a comprehension of the big picture – one that's often clouded by competition in young signal callers.

"I try to get hyped after it," Hundley said. "I never played baseball. It was always so awkward for me to do it."

Hundley has spent the entire offseason working on these sorts of nuances and subtleties. Right now, he's incessantly studying footwork. With a bigger playbook in Noel Mazzone's second season as offensive coordinator, there will be more plays to learn and master, more nights to spend consuming hours upon hours of film. There's no reason to doubt Hundley will improve in these ways steadily, as he did throughout the entirety of last season.

But with all that rests on Hundley's broad shoulders, it's the principle behind this play – a slide during UCLA's situational four-minute drill, meant to practice with a running clock – that represents something deeper.

Hundley was hit as much or more than any other quarterback in college football last season. He was sacked 52 times – second-worst in the nation – and that number doesn't take into account the positive run plays that resulted in punishing blows. Hundley often neglected to slide or get out of bounds, and against in Nebraska in his second start, when he actually did slide, he did so awkwardly and sprained his ankle, forcing backup Richard Brehaut to spell him.

"I never played baseball," Hundley said. "It was always so awkward for me to do it."

The sophomore signal caller and his coaches know that kind of physical abuse isn't usually conducive to staying healthy, just as they know that the Bruins' hopes for this season will almost certainly turn to delusions of grandeur if he were to miss time with an injury. Better protection of Hundley – it almost goes without saying – is of the utmost importance.

The plan to protect him has already gone into motion this spring, part of which includes improved play from the offensive line – an obvious fix that should be in full swing when UCLA's seven freshmen offensive linemen enroll in the fall. But that process hasn't been without its kinks. Offensive line coach Adrian Klemm said last Thursday's practice was the worst he'd ever seen from his line. He's also made it clear that he expects at least two freshmen offensive linemen to start in the fall – a high-risk, high-reward strategy that could inevitably bring ups and downs for the quarterback they're slated to protect.

But a better offensive line is only part of the solution, a part that Hundley can't control. The other change – the most important change, coaches say – has to come from Hundley himself.

"He has to learn when to run or when to get rid of it," Mora said, "and it seemed to me like he's a lot more decisive in the pocket. ... When I watch film, I see a much more decisive player. But we've got to do a better job of protecting him than we did last year, and we should."

"We've been trying to work on being decisive," quarterbacks coach Taylor Mazzone added. "If you want to run, run. If it's not there, get the ball out of bounds.

The pieces are there for greatness, but Hundley and his coaches will be the first to admit that there's still a long ways to go. The mental inconsistencies that plagued him at times last year are still a reality. The Baylor game, one of his worst of the season, is still fresh.

"We forget, he's still young," Noel Mazzone said. "He's only played one year."

His voice suggests that he, like many who have witnessed Hundley's quick ascension, has to remind himself of this constantly.

During the practice, after his slide incited applause from the Bruins' sideline, Hundley couldn't seem to find any rhythm with his receivers. His throws continued to sail on easy routes. Nothing seemed to be working. So from the sideline, Mazzone, frustrated with his quarterback, called to replace him with backup T.J. Millweard. But Hundley refused the substitution, sending Millweard back to the sideline, and immediately preparing for the next play. It was a bold, instinctual decision from a young quarterback who seemed so different last spring. Then, he had to worry about stepping on toes as a leader with two senior signal callers on the depth chart behind him.

"Now, you can tell he's trying to take a hold of the team," backup quarterback Jerry Neuheisel said. "It's his team."

It's that confidence that remains the starkest difference in Hundley this spring, as opposed to last. He oozes confidence now. And he'll need it – without running back Johnathan Franklin or his favorite red zone target, Joe Fauria in the fold now, the onus to produce on offense, fair or not, starts and ends with Brett Hundley. That means staying healthy. And paying special attention to the otherwise minute details – like how to execute the perfect slide.

"Now," Hundley said, "it's all about details – like, when to take the hit for a run or another yard or two, and when just to slide and get down – it's more about thinking critical and knowing what to do and having a plan. ... Just like everything, it's a learning process."

Will USC exploit Colorado's pass defense?

Is this the proper week to re-introduce the college football world to the USC offense, the one that had been expected to dominate this season? After all, the Trojans are 40-point favorites heading into Saturday's game against Colorado.

''Forty-one,'' Coach Lane Kiffin corrected Thursday, with a slight grin.

All the more reason to ask the question: If not now, when? The Buffaloes enter this week with the highest averages in the Pac-12 Conference in points (41.3 per game) and passing yards (312.7) allowed, and USC quarterback Matt Barkley is coming off a season-low total of 167 passing yards against Washington last week.

Is it time for a feel-good game for Barkley and the offense? Maybe not. If Kiffin feels any pressure to assuage anxious fans or impress poll voters, he has kept it well-hidden this week. Asked, essentially, if he would attempt to run up the score against the Buffaloes if the opportunity presented itself, Kiffin demurred.

``Our goal is to win the game and stay as healthy as possible,'' Kiffin said. ''We have depth issues. We know that. Our goal is to win games. We're not going to leave guys in, late in games, if games are in our favor. Hopefully we'll be in position to do that throughout the season, and when we are, we're not going to worry about the final score, or what the spread is or anything like that. We will worry about getting our players to the next game.''

Even though Colorado has allowed a total of 93 points in their last two games (losses to UCLA and Arizona State), Kiffin said the Buffaloes can present some issues defensively.

''When you look at them, they're very multiple on defense,'' Kiffin said. ''Any time you're multiple on defense, regardless of what (their) yards and points have been in other games, you can cause some issues when you get after the quarterback with the pass rush. It all comes back to us. That's really been the theme of the week, is just, midway through the season, focusing on where we can get better, where we can improve individually, where we can improve in all three phases of the game, and not as much worrying about who we're playing.''

Generator Checklist | Ohio Generator Experts | Cleveland OH

Keep Your Generator Running In Tip Top Shape

Ohio Generator Experts, a Division of Portman Electric finds that its customers invest in generators for various reasons. Some of those reasons can be for commercial usage if they’re operating a business that requires refrigeration of perishable products. Many of our residential customers live in remote areas of Ohio and invest in home generators for added security. However, of what benefit would it be if after installing the generator it wasn’t properly maintained. At Ohio Generator Experts we are always thinking of ways to continue to assist our customers so we created a 9 point checklist to help to keep your generator functioning at its optimum performance level.

Generator Checklist Image

  1. Keep it clean. Your generator will tend to collect grease. Take a degreasing agent and a rag and clean your unit. Keeping your unit clean will help you locate any leaks that develop.
  2. Gas Tank. Is there old gas left in your machine? Gas left over a long period of time can become sticky and block up fuel lines, fuel filter, the carburetor and other parts. So if this is the case with your unit, you will want to check the manufacturer’s manual because some units can just be drained and new fuel added while others may require replacement of older lines, fuel filters along with a cleaning of the carburetor and the carburetor tank.
  3. Oil Change. Maybe you haven’t needed to run your unit this year, so why do you have to change the oil? Remember, we are talking about keeping your unit functioning at its optimum level. It is always a good practice to change your generators oil and oil filter yearly.
  4. Spark Plugs. Prior to removing a sparkplug from the socket you want to thoroughly clean the debris from around the old sparkplug to prevent it from falling into the cavity once removed. Inspect the sparkplug to see if there are cracks or deposits in the porcelain, if there are, then replace it. The manufacturer of the generator requires specifics gaps between the sparkplugs. Prior to the sparkplugs being reset, these gaps must be adjusted to meet those specifications.
  5. The Battery. Test the strength of the battery using a battery tester. If the power outage is too weak then replace the battery. If the power strength is sufficient then check the battery for corrosion build up. If there is build up on the battery, then use a solution of baking soda and water to clean this corrosion away from the battery contacts.
  6. Check the Air Filter. Air filters can vary from one generator to the next. So check your manual to see where your generator’s air filter is located and how it is to be replaced.
  7. Check the Fuel Filter. There is an easy step to determine if your generator’s fuel filter needs to be replaced. Most fuel filters are clamped in-line with the fuel valve. Remove the fuel filter and look at it. If you can’t see light through the filter then it is time to replace it.
  8. Check for Leaks. A simple way to check your generator for leaks it to place it on cardboard and let it run for a while using soapy water to check it for any leaks.
  9. Run your Generator. Maybe you might not need to use your generator regularly but as a rule of thumb, you should run your unit at least once a month for 30 minutes. If you are going to store your unit then take the gas completely out or run it out.

Generator Checklist Image

These steps are just to be a gentle reminder to help our Ohio Generator Experts customer keep their investment running at optimum performance. We don’t want anyone to become so overwhelmed with the checklist that nothing is done to maintain their unit. So if you feel frustrated or in above your head, just give us a call and we will send out one of our expert technicians to perform these maintenance tasks on your unit to help keep it running for years to come.

We provide a complete generator service including repairs, warranty, installation and mainenance to homes and businesses in Ashtabula County, Cuyahoga County, Erie County, Geauga County, Lake County, Lorain County, Portage County, Summit County, and Trumbull County.

Description by

At the top she made millions- at the bottom she scrubbed floors in a parish priest house. All the while she was making headlines around the world. What really happened?

There was never a more boisterous or vivacious movie star than Betty Hutton. She bulldozed her way in Hollywood with spirit and spunk and good humor through a string of hits during the 40's and 50's to a singing Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun and that high flying trapeze artist in "The Greatest Show On Earth." Her recordings demonstrated a boundless vocal range from zany romps to tear-stained ballads. Hutton's 1940's Big Band hits, her movies like The Perils of Pauline replaying constantly on television and video sales prove that Betty Hutton is back in style. Or maybe she never really went away. Now, here for the first time we have her story as related in her words about that life of one of the most popular Hollywood performers of her generation. Misinterpreted, misquoted and often fictionalized in the past, the true story of her rise and fall and redemption is spoken here as only she could tell it.

In Rocking Horse, Betty Hutton speaks for herself - through recorded interviews before her passing in 2007- from her own point of view of the spectacle, stardom and nostalgia. Who should know better- she lived it! She wanted her public to know the truth- they made her, stood by her through her ups and downs. This story Betty said is for them!

Glenn Gould was one of the most innovative and prophetic musical thinkers of the twentieth century. Few musicians of his time have had as much influence on the way people think about the art of music, its purpose, its effects, its practitioners, its audiences.

Glenn Gould, Music and Mind was the first, and for many years the only, study of Gould's work. It is about Gould as a musical thinker, Gould as a literary artist, Gould as a glorious misfit. No one who takes an interest in performing or listening to music, or in thinking about it, can fail to be delighted by this groundbreaking work.

'Anti-aging' pill may reverse time clock in humans

Written by:
Subscribe to Oneindia News

Washington, Nov 8 : After successfully conducting studies on mice, scientists have claimed that SRT1720, touted as an "anti-aging pill," can be tested in human trials.

The new drug study from Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in Cambridge, Mass., claimed that SRT1720 activates the same receptor as the much-discussed resveratrol, the chemical in red wine that may slow some effects of aging.

Scientists are testing both resveratrol and SRT1720 for first treating type-two diabetes, and possibly later for other age-related diseases.

"We are very excited by these results. These compounds are mimicking calorie restriction and exercise while lowering levels of glucose and insulin in mice. It's a game changer," Discovery News quoted Michelle Dipp of Sirtris as saying.

In the study, the scientists overfed two groups of mice by about 40 percent, which can make up for almost eating 3,000 calories a day, and enough to pack on significant weight.

After drug administration in various concentrations, the scientists found that after 15 weeks of eating the high-calorie diet, the control mice gained significant weight.

However, the mice taking 500 mg of the drug, did not gain any weight. The cholesterol levels of the mice on the drug also improved.

The animals' exercise habits were also recorded. Mice without SRT1720 ran for roughly half a mile. Mice given 100 mg ran roughly seven-tenths of a mile. And mice on 500 mg of SRT1720 were able to run a full mile, twice the distance of untreated mice.

Dipp said that tests have shown that above 500 mg, the drug's effects plateau. SRT1720 has no known side effects.

Johan Auwerx at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland led the research.

The SIRT1 receptor is also activated during caloric restriction diets, which have been shown to lengthen life span in multiple animal models, and during exercise.

SIRT1 receptors are found in mitochondria, often called the powerhouse of the cell because of all the energy they produce.

The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism.

The reason that companies do this is so that when a new visitor or potential client enters their office building, their first impressions are always positive because they enter a relaxed and inviting reception environment. If your reception area looks professional then any visitor will automatically begin to form opinions about your business and these first impressions can not be taken back. When refurbishing your reception area you need to make sure that you have a comfortable reception seating area as well as having an area to be greeted and this normally takes the form of the reception desk. With modular reception desks it is easy to create an interesting shape and configuration that is unique to your reception. The Zigger reception is modular and consists of different lengths of straight desks, low level and with counter tops, as well as options for DDA compliant modules. If your are having trouble trying to work out or realise your receptions full potential then we can help. Once we know the dimensions of your are, and more detail into the type and style of reception furniture that you require then we will be able to create accurate 3D visuals of what your reception area will look like.

The American Airlines $50 Standby Fee…Stop Complaining

There has been a great deal of whining about American Airlines’ decision to institute a $50 standby fee (essentially putting it on par with other airlines).  Boo hoo.  As I’ve mentioned before:  Airfares are basically the same as they have been since 1981 – not adjusted for inflation, I mean they are actually the same.  Except where they are way, way cheaper.  Transcons are still $99 on sale, but now there are basically no restrictions.  A 1-way fare from NYC to LAX used to be $1000 or so with no advance purchase.  I can buy a 1-way ticket on that route for Tuesday and it’s $140.

Oil was $35/barrel in 1981 – half what it is now.  Planes have not gotten cheaper.  Guess what?  Airlines have to make it up somewhere if they are going to charge you next to nothing to fly all over the place.  There is absolutely no reason to whine about fees – flying is one of the world’s great bargains.  An extra $20 isn’t going to change that.

  1. Not only that, Jared, but the fee is waived if you are even in the lowest elite status tier with AA. Since most travelers standing by to begin with would I imagine be business travelers, a pretty high percentage would fall into the elite category. I for one have no issues in paying $50 for a confirmed seat assignment on an earlier flight if my meeting turns into a half-day session instead of full-day. For those without elite status, $50 to save four hours of travel time should be more than welcome so yes, stop your complaining out there.

  2. Well done, Mike. That’s a great point – Elite members get this for free. Even beloved Southwest Airlines has forced you to buy a new ticket when you wanted to leave on an earlier flight – they don’t allow standby at all. Free standby for all was gravy for a loooooooooong time. $50 seems like nothing if you really want to be home (which, if you hate your family, you may not want to do).

  3. I can’t believe how people constantly complain about the airlines.

    They complain about how services are being cut, cut, cut but they don’t want airfares (or fees) raised. Personally, I wish my airline would charge me 20% more so that I don’t feel like a sardine packed in a can when I fly.

  4. Stop Complaining…just pay the fee…Become an “elite” member…all of that is easy to say for someone with money, just don’t forget, to some people, $50 (which is what I am being asked to pay) is a make or break situation. I wish I did have money to throw around every time I am inconvenienced. Must be nice. Those who have always seem to forget those that do not have.

  5. Actually we were told today by an AA rep when calling the Platinum number on the phone that “free same-day standby for Elite members is no longer available”. We are Platinum and they said it would cost us $50 to fly same-day standby, despite what it says at

  6. It’s free to standby as Platinum but $75 to have guarnteed standby. (Use to be $50 for guaranteed standby but raised to $75 this January.)

Black Gold Online Offers First Race Reveal for Industrial Buvants

Following last week’s sudden reveal of Black Gold Online’s unique F2P business model, it seems Snail Games is ready to start getting serious about revealing information about their upcoming steampunk versus nature faction focused action MMORPG. And sure enough today it begins with the reveal of the Buvants, the race most akin to humans and primarily responsible for the beginning of the Isenhorst faction’s industrial revolution.

The Buvants represent an incredibly open-minded faction that sided quickly with the dwarves after being cast out from the Eastern lands of Eriandir for defying nature as their leader, Hoka, crushed it to make way for his Black Gold-powered steam machinations. Now well established with powerful machines of war in hand, the Buvants are recognized as the rulers of Isenhorst and greatest threat to the old ways.

Black Gold Online Buvant Concept Art

The Duvant race will allow players access to the Inquisitor, Mystic, and Tech Adept classes. They typically stand between 5’7” and 6’6”, resemble humans, and typically dress in Neo-Victorian Era fashion akin to what you might run into at a steampunk booth at Comic Con.

For more information on the Duvants, check out the official Snail Games post here!

[R172R, Hidden Valley Ski Area], the popular day-trip area near St. Louis, is beginning a $2 million dollar expansion that adds 30-percent more skiable terrain, a new quad chairlift, and includes a half-million dollar renovation of the ski area’s food and beverage operation.

Hidden Valley has been serving the lower Midwest since 1984 and offers a nice choice for Gateway City residents who otherwise have to drive hours to find a ski area.  With a decent 310-foot vertical drop it currently offers 13 trails, two terrain parks and a tubing area serviced by a quad chairlift, two triples and three surface tows, including a carpet lift for the beginner area.

The new terrain will add more intermediate and advanced runs and open up some glade skiing.  One of the new trails will be the resort’s longest run, just under a half-mile.  It’s anticipated that approximately 20 new jobs will be added during the ski season to support the expansion, which is expected to be ready for next season.

Tim Boyd, Peak Resort’s CEO, pointed out that the long term investment decision was based on not only their commitment to provide local snow sports enthusiasts the best possible terrain, but also on Hidden Valley having become a regional destination for many southern skiers.

“The expansion will enhance Hidden Valley’s ability to continue to attract out-of-state visitors as well as improve facilities for local skiers,” he said.  “The expansion is also a celebration of our upcoming 30thanniversary.”

Peak Resorts operates five Midwest ski areas in Missouri, Indiana and Ohio and five Eastern resorts in New Hampshire, Vermont and Pennsylvania.

06.10.2009 - Saudi Arabia: No bond issue planned
From Arabnews.com: Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf said Monday that Saudi Arabia has no plans to issue sovereign bonds. “Government bonds are issued when there is a need for them. Thank God, lately there has been no need to issue bonds or sukuk,” he said. Analysts have said that the Kingdom does not need to borrow as it has accumulated large reserves from crude exports. However, they pointed out that a sovereign bond would help the nascent Saudi market of bonds, both Islamic and conventional. With no sovereign bond to set a benchmark, secondary bond trading has been lackluster since the market’s launch in June.................Full Article: Source

Stanford Coach Fires Back Over Washington's Accusation

Stanford coach David Shaw fired back at Steve Sarkisian on Tuesday after the Washington coach accused the Cardinal of faking injuries.

Shaw opened his portion of the Pac-12 coaches’ teleconference with a carefully crafted statement, saying “we don’t fake injuries, never have and never will. I don’t teach it, don’t condone it, don’t allow it.” He also began his weekly news conference at Stanford shortly after by referring to the same hand-written notes.

Shaw called Sarkisian’s allegations “unprofessional” and pointed out that the only defensive coach he knows of who has told players to fake injuries works on Washington’s staff. Huskies defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi admitted to instructing players to fake injuries against Oregon while he was an assistant at Cal.

“If you have to resort to that, you haven’t trained hard enough,” Shaw said.

Shaw also said he had discussions with the Pac-12 Conference expressing his displeasure with the allegations. Asked if he had spoken to Sarkisian, Shaw said “no comment.”

After fifth-ranked Stanford (5-0, 3-0) beat then-No. 15 Washington 31-28 on Saturday night, Sarksian said in a postgame radio interview that Cardinal players were faking injuries to try to slow down the Huskies’ up-tempo offense on the final drive. He specifically said he heard Stanford defensive line coach Randy Hart — who spent 21 years as the defensive line coach at Washington — telling players to stay down following plays.

Sarkisian stood by those comments Monday.

“We saw what we saw and I’ll leave it at that,” Sarkisian said.

Stanford defensive end Ben Gardner and linebacker Shayne Skov both were tended to by trainers on the field in the fourth quarter for apparent injuries. Shaw said Gardner was dealing with arm injury and dehydration, while Skov hyperextended his surgically repaired left knee when he collided with teammate James Vaughters.

An MRI on Skov’s knee showed no structural damage, Shaw said. Skov is expected to play Saturday at Utah.

Both players denied on Twitter that they were faking injuries.

“Skov didn’t take a dive, I didn’t take a dive. Never have never will. Stay classy Washington,” Gardner tweeted Sunday.

Washington Times Misreads AAP Report as Pro-Abstinence

| by

Congrats to Cheryl Wetzstein of the Washington Times, for reaching new heights in the practice of writing blatant sex panic propaganda up as if it was a news item. "Pediatricians shift on abstinence programs" mimics the language of ordinary science reporting, but a comparison of the article to the actual report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics on sex education reveals that Wetzstein is way more interested in creating panic in her readers than in reporting on the mundane realities.

The AAP’s report is a revision of previous statements that were friendlier towards abstinence-only education, one that was the direct result of much research in the intervening years that showed that abstinence-only doesn’t work to achieve important public health goals, such as preventing unintended pregnancy and STIs in minors.  Because of the AAP’s commitment to evidence and their commitment to health, they are going to follow the evidence when it comes to making health recommendations.  Apparently, Wetzstein feels they didn’t make enough room to allow mindless anti-sex right-wing ideology to dictate their decisions.

Popular Video

The average American throws away 82lbs of clothes:

But the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has disappointed pro-family advocates by rejecting what it calls "ineffective" abstinence education as a way of countering the onslaught of sex-laden music, television shows, movies and online pornography — a shift from the group's previous policy statement issues nine years ago.

Notice how it’s a given for Wetzstein that advocating for education methods that increase STI and unintended pregnancy rates for minors is “pro-family.”  You can see why the AAP might disagree, as it’s composed of pediatricians who see with their own eyes how “pro-family” it’s not to be treating gonorrhea in a 14-year-old, or referring a 15-year-old to an abortion provider or a ob-gyn.  Families don’t feel very “pro” in these kinds of circumstances.  Often, there is much intra-family distress when these things happen.

Popular Video

The average American throws away 82lbs of clothes:

The AAP’s argument is simple, even though you’d never know the basic gist of it from the Washington Times coverage.  They simply argue that in the absence of real education about sex and contraception---an absence which defines abstinence-only education---kids will get all the messages about sex from internet porn and MTV.  And these are hardly good teachers, as the AAP points out. For all the talk of sex on TV, for instance, almost no one talks about taking heath precautions or preventing unintended pregnancy.  The report also points to empirical data linking heavy exposure to sexual content in the media to getting STIs or having sex at younger ages.

Wetzstein exploits these correlations in order to make hysterical implications about the report that are actually contradicted in the report itself.

Instead, the doctors, in a statement issued late last month, endorse comprehensive sex education — even though the latter has been shown to be sexually explicit at times — as the best way to educate the young and prevent unwanted pregnancies.

So, let’s get this straight. Wetzstein is arguing that having a 50-year-old gym teacher roll a condom on a banana under fluorescent lights is as sexually exciting to teenagers as sexy pop stars making out with hot models in music videos, and therefore as likely to compel said kids to try out this sex stuff themselves.  But the evidence actually cited in the AAP report indicates the opposite.

Eight peer-reviewed, controlled clinical trials have revealed that giving teenagers freer access to condoms does not increase their sexual activity or encourage virginal teenagers to be- gin having sex, but it does increase the use of condoms among those who are already sexually active.

The report also gently points out that teenagers aren’t stupid, and can understand more complex messages than, “Just say no.”  In fact, outside of the realm of sex education, even hard line right wingers tend to understand that adolescents can handle information that’s more complex than what’s offered on “Barney.”  We expect adolescents to read Shakespeare, excel in chemistry and trigonometry, and put together a yearbook.  In comparison to these activities, the message, “Wait until you’re emotionally ready to have sex, and use a condom when you do,” is incredibly simple.

Unlike the Washington Times, the AAP understands the importance of context and nuance in media.  Much of the report details how it’s not just the mention of sex in the mainstream media that’s the problem, but it’s the specific way that it’s portrayed.

American media make sex seem like a harmless sport in which everyone engages, and results of considerable research have indicated that the media can have a major effect on young people’s attitudes and behaviors.

It’s not just the mention of sex that’s the problem, in other words, it’s how it’s portrayed.  In fact, the AAP report cites reams of evidence to show that heavy sexual content in the media can contribute to healthier choices.  For instance, they note that nations that have more contraceptive advertising have a lower rate of teenage pregnancy.  Beyond just advertising, the AAP cites evidence that television programs such as ERFriends and Gray’s Anatomy had accurate information about sexual health and discussion of contraception, and these resulted in improved understanding and communication about these issues in the audience.

“Explicit” is a vague term when describing media portrayals of sexuality, and it incorrectly implies that teenagers’ curiosity about sex can effectively be squashed completely by pretending to kids that it doesn’t exist, or only issuing blanket condemnations of sexual activity that do nothing to relieve their curiosity.  In reality, there’s many flavors of explicit sexual content.  Some are provocative, sure.  They’re meant to be in order to capture prurient interest and/or sell some ads.  But blunt language about sexuality doesn’t have to be arousing.  Sometimes answering kids’ questions in a straightforward, health-oriented, non-provocative manner can calm their curiosity, and incline them to delay having sex until they’re emotionally prepared.  And of course, explicit and straightforward education in contraception makes it that much easier for kids to know how to use it when the day comes to do so.

NEW SEASON BEGINS TODAY FOR OREGON – Ducks Begin Fiesta Bowl Preparations

Oregon senior running back Kenjon Barner selected as a 2012 Consensus All-American

It’s almost been two weeks since the No. 4 Oregon Ducks have been together on the football field as a unit – a 48-24 thrashing of in-state rival Oregon State on Saturday November 24th.

After a nice rest and fall term finals, the Ducks get back to work today to begin preparations to face No. 5 Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona on January 3rd.

Now that final exams are over and the official holiday break begins, Chip Kelly and his Ducks will begin their first of four consecutive practice sessions today ( Friday ) before taking a three day break on Tuesday.

Week two of practice begins again next Friday with another set of four workouts ( Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday ) with the final set of practice sessions scheduled for December 19th – 21st before breaking for the Christmas holiday.

According to the team schedule, Oregon will then reconvene as a unit in Phoenix on Wednesday December 26th to continue their workouts before taking on the Wildcats on January 3rd at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

Like they did in 2010 when they prepared to play Auburn in the BCS National Championship game, Oregon will practice in the desert at Pinnacle High School in Phoenix. The Ducks begin those workouts on Thursday December 27th.

In last evenings college football awards show in Orlando, Florida, Oregon senior running back Kenjon Barner gave way to Wisconsin tailback Montee Ball for the 2012 Doak Walker Award given to college football’s most valuable running back.

Barner, Montee Ball and UCLA’s Jonathan Franklin were the finalists for the award.

Barner finished the regular season ranked 5th among college football backs with an average of 135 yards per game. Barner tallied a total of 1,624 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.

Ball, also a senior, rushed for an average of 133 yards per game which ranked him 7th among all national running backs. Ball also had 21 touchdowns and 1,730 total rushing yards.

Barner also scored his third national award by being selected to the Walter Camp All-America Team by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

The Walter Camp Award raises Barner’s status to a Consensus All-American by being selected to three of the five all-american teams. ( American Football Coaches Association, Sporting News, Walter Camp All-America Team )

If selected to the All-America teams by the Associated Press and Football Writers Association of America, Barner would then become a unanimous selection among collegiate all-americans.

As a consensus all-american, Barner becomes only the sixth player / selection in Oregon history to reach that plateau. The others are LaMichael James ( twice ), running back Mel Renfro, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and defensive back Cliff Harris.

If Barner were to be selected as a unanimous all-american, he would join LaMichael James as the only other player in Oregon football history to be selected in that category.

RefSeq: NM_005482
Synonyms: GPI8; GPI8
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the cysteine protease family C13 that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is a member of the multisubunit enzyme, GPI transamidase and is thought to be its enzymatic component. GPI transamidase mediates GPI anchoring in the endoplasmic reticulum, by catalyzing the transfer of fully assembled GPI units to proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
shRNA Design:
These shRNA constructs were designed against multiple splice variants at this gene locus. To be certain that your variant of interest is targeted, align it with our published shRNA design sequences. If these do not align, please utilize our custom shRNA service.
Performance Guranteed:
OriGene guarantees that the sequences in the shRNA expression cassettes are verified to correspond to the target gene with 100% identity. One of the four constructs at minimum are guaranteed to produce 70% or more gene expression knock-down provided a minimum transfection efficiency of 80% is achieved. Western Blot data is recommended over qPCR to evaluate the silencing effect of the shRNA constructs 72 hrs post transfection. To properly assess knockdown, the gene expression level from the included scramble control vector must be used in comparison with the target-specific shRNA transfected samples.

For non-conforming shRNA, requests for replacement product must be made within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the shRNA kit. To arrange for a free replacement with newly designed constructs, please contact Technical Services at techsupport@origene.com. Please provide your data indicating the transfection efficiency and measurement of gene expression knockdown compared to the scrambled shRNA control (Western Blot data preferred).

Tour of California cycling race to begin Sunday

Tour of California could be in for a close finish

The ninth edition of the Amgen Tour of California will start Sunday in Sacramento.

For eight days, 120 riders from 16 teams will race more than 720 miles, traveling through 12 host cities and ending in Thousand Oaks on May 18.

The tour is the major cycling event in the United States and will feature such top riders as 2012 Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins, Peter Sagan and Mark Cavendish.

Defending Tour of California champion Tejay van Garderen will not race this year to concentrate on preparations for the Tour de France.

Riders will face the longest and most challenging stages, as well as the time trial, in the first three days of the race. The longest stage is 120 miles.

"It's likely we'll see a change in the overall leader up until the final day," said Kristin Bachochin, executive director of the race. "That definitely keeps everybody on their heels."

During the most difficult stage on Day 3, the cyclists will end a 108.5-mile ride by ascending 10.8 miles up Mt. Diablo.

The winner could remain unclear even until the last day of the race, when riders will have to face short and steep climbs in Thousand Oaks that could allow cyclists more adept at climbing hills to break away near the end of the race.

"It's going to make it tough for whoever is defending the jersey," Wiggins said. "It's going to go right down to the wire."

This year's event will include two days of women's racing — the most in the race's history. On the first day 115 riders will compete in a 125-mile circuit race. On Monday, a smaller field of riders will compete in a time trial in Folsom.

Why can't I just control the amount of memory it uses for cache?

I don't understand this. Any memory that is not being used right now for programs can be used for caching. And if programs suddenly have a need for more memory, that memory can simply be freed. Instantly. No disk activity required. Why would you *want* to limit what the kernel does with otherwise unused memory, which can be put to good use?

In the Linux world, we do have a bit of a conflict between those folks who think that programs' seldom-used pages should get swapped out to make more room for disk cache, and those who feel that program's pages are sacred, and should not be swapped out unless absolutely necessary. But that is a different issue.

Microsoft's latest target is Wistron Corp., which has signed a patent agreement 'that provides broad coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio for Wistron's tablets, mobile phones, e-readers and other consumer devices running the Android or Chrome platform', Microsoft announced." That's the reality we live in, folks. This is at least as criminal - if not more so - than Microsoft's monopoly abuse late last century. After the Nortel crap, it's completely left the black helicopter camp for me: Microsoft, Apple, and several others are working together to fight Android the only way they know how: with underhand mafia tactics. Absolutely sickening. Hey Anonymous, are you listening? YES I WENT THERE.

RE[6]: Patents are patents

Member since:

And that's the problem, isn't it? Microsoft is unwilling to divulge which patents Linux is supposedly infringing, or which patents these Android vendors are infringing.

It also means that Microsoft can't sue. If they want to sue for patent infringement, obviously they will have to divulge which patents they think are being infringed.

This means that nobody can start developing workarounds - which, of course, is exactly what Microsoft wants.

Well again, if Microsoft refuses to divulge which patents it thinks are being violated, it means they can't take legal action.

The secrecy ensures nobody knows how to avoid these patents, and it means the public at large can't try and help in invalidating these patents.

Does it matter? Again, if Microsoft wants to maintain the secrecy, they can't take legal action. Doing so would require divulging which patents it thinks are being infringed. So as long as Microsoft wants to play the game this way, no action needs to be taken for either avoiding the patents, or trying to invalidate them.

Ah yes, the universal 'zOMG a viewpoint differs from mine site Xyz is going down the drain!1!!".

I think it's more your utterly black and white view on issues Thom. And the fact that you write like a reporter from Fox news. Your articles are heavily biased towards one side. And when someone (like me) submits an article with an alternative view point, you quash it and don't publish it because it doesn't agree with your views.
