Clemson dominates Alabama to claim national championship

The first drive ended in a pick-six, the first half ended with a stalled offense and the game ended in devastation.
For Alabama, it was a result that not even their harshest critics could've imagined. For Clemson, it was pure ecstasy: a 44-16 rout over the Crimson Tide at Levi's Stadium on Monday to claim the national championship.
Clemson led 31-16 at halftime and never looked back, outscoring Alabama 13-0 in the second half to clinch the title. The Tigers end the season a perfect 15-0, the first team in the AP poll era to do so. It is the program's second championship.
"We're gonna enjoy this one. We've got a nice spot to put it in our facility, right next to that other one," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "We've got twins!"
In the process, they became the first team to defeat Alabama by more than 14 points since Nick Saban took over as coach in 2007. And in many ways, it was stunning. Trevor Lawrence carved up a premier Alabama defense to the tune of 347 yards for three touchdowns on 20-of-32 passing. His favorite target was Justyn Ross, who caught six passes for 153 passes and a touchdown.
From the start, the Tiger put their imprint on the game. Alabama quarterback Tua Taovailoa, who threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns but also had two interceptions, tossed his first pick on his third pass attempt. It went all the way back for a touchdown, with A.J. Terell returning it 44 yards for Clemson.
The Tigers scored touchdowns on three of their final five drives of the first half, and then shut down the Crimson Tide in the second half. Three times, Alabama went for it on fourth down — including a fake field goal attempt on its first drive of the second half. Three times, it was denied.
"We're 15-0, we beat the best team ever, nobody's taking that away from us," defensive tackle Christian Wilkins said.
With another title win over Saban's team, Clemson is no longer the little brother to Alabama. The two teams have faced off for four straight years in the College Football Playoff, and it is apparent: Clemson is every bit as equal, every bit as dominant and revered a program as Alabama.

Herbert's touchdown pass leads the Ducks to 7-6 victory over the Spartans

SANTA CLARA — Justin Herbert changed the Redbox Bowl with just one toss to Dillion Mitchell and the Oregon Ducks.
Herbert threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell early in the fourth quarter, as the Ducks defeated the Michigan State Spartans 7-6 at Levi's Stadium.
The Spartans dropped a chance to possibly win the game, as Brian Lewerke was unable to hold onto the ball on a potential game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter.
Herbert, who announced last week that he was returning to Eugene for another year, threw for 166 yards and stretched his streak to 28 games for touchdown passes.
"We felt like it was going to be that kind of game just watching them on defense," said Ducks head Mario Cristobal. "We kept battling and battling. You take a victory whether it be one point, two points or 50 points. These guys found a way to get it done."
The Ducks crossed midfield only three times and were not able to get on the scoreboard until Herbert found Mitchell for the only touchdown of the game.
Late in the game, the Spartans were getting ready for a potential game-winning 50-yard field goal; however, Lewerke, who is also the holder, was unable to hold to the ball, then tried to run, but then threw an incomplete pass near the Ducks sideline.
"It's one that I have to come up with," Lewerke said. "The ball kind of hit my hand on top of the ball. I tried to make something happen. That's what happens."
Following a three-and-out by the Ducks, the Spartans got the ball back, as they got the ball back at their own 42; however, Lewerke's pass on 4th-and-12 was knocked down by Ducks cornerback Thomas Graham to secure the victory for the Ducks.
On the afternoon, Lewerke went 22-for-40 for 172 yards with an interception, as the Spartans were unable to get into the end zone for the third time in their past four games.
LJ Scott carried the ball 24 times for 84 yards, as he ended his Spartans career with a one-point defeat. Scott, who played in just five games decided against redshirting and is leaving East Lansing, as he declared for the NFL draft earlier this month.
Matt Coghlin kicked two 34-yard field goals to give the Spartans a 6-0 lead until Herbert found Mitchell for the game-winning touchdown. Coghlin missed a 50-yard field goal.
"We never got that bust-out play," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. "You're not going to win many games scoring six points."
Mitchell ended the day with six catches for 70 yards, as he set the single season school record with 1,184 yards, breaking the record set by Josh Huff in 2013, as he gained 1,140 yards.
NOTES: Defensive end Kenny Willekes left the game in the third quarter on a cart, as he broke his left fibula. On the season, Willekes led the Spartans in sacks with 8.5.
UP NEXT: The Spartans will open the season at Spartan Stadium on August 31 against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

San Jose State gets blown out by Saint Mary's 75-45

San Jose State men's basketball had hoped to wrap up its Bay Area road trip with a win over Saint Mary's at McKeon Pavilion Saturday evening. A win would mean the Spartans' two-game losing skid would come to an end. While there was a sign of hope for the Spartans in the early minutes of the game, their wish wasn't granted Saturday.
Spartans head coach Jean Prioleau went with this starting lineup: Brae Ivey, Noah Baumann, Craig LeCesne, Michael Steadman and Oumar Barry.
After the tip, the game went underway at McKeon Pavilion. The early score wasn't in favor of the Spartans, but they battled back from a 9-0 deficit, thanks to Ivey's corner trey. Then, they tied the game 14-14 at the 14:51 mark of the first period.
San Jose State, however, fell behind from there. The Spartans trailed 22-17 at the second media timeout. Baumann led the Spartans with 5 points at the time. Fast forward to the final media timeout, where the Spartans trailed 38-17 with 3:25 left on the clock. SJSU didn't score in the last 10 minutes and 46 seconds, which was sad like the sadness LeCesne had cope with this past week. LeCesne recently lost a close friend, Emil Isovic. Isovic collapsed during a game and died at a hospital Wednesday.
SJSU had no choice but to shrug off the horrific ending as Saint Mary went on a whopping 26-0 run to end the first. The Spartans trailed the Gaels 44-14 at halftime.
Saint Mary's continued to stay hot at home. Tanner Krebs' shooting remained on fire as he was 5-7 in 3-point field goals with 15 points. SJSU trailed 50-23 at the 15:29 mark of the second period.
The Gaels outshot the Spartans 47 percent to 37 percent with 7:47 left in the second. Krebs' fiery shooting remained in tact as he was well on his way to a season-high 20 points. The Gaels' defensive effort versus the Spartans was strong to say the least.
The Spartans lost to the Gaels 75-45. SJSU fell to 3-9, while Saint Mary's improved to 9-6.
SJSU will return to the Event Center to host rival Fresno State on Wednesday, January 2 at 7 pm PST.

Dons continue hot start with 74-65 win over Cardinal

By Daniel Dullum
San Francisco continued its best start in 19 years on Saturday with a 74-65 men's basketball win over Stanford before a sellout crowd of 3,005.
The Dons (12-1) were led by Charles Minlend with 19 points, and Frankie Ferrari with 17. Jimbo Lull, USF's 7-foot junior, hit double figures in rebounds for the first time in his career with 15; he also scored 11 points. Matt McCarthy added 10 points for the Dons.
Daejon led the Cardinal (6-5) with 19 points, followed by Oscar da Silva with 13 points, KZ Okpala with 11 and Bryce Wills with 10.
Da Silva hit a 3-pointer to cut USF's lead to 60-52 with 1:36 to play, and, after Stanford pulled to within 64-60 in the final minute, Minlend responded with a three-point play.
USF led by double-digits through most of the second half after taking a 30-19 halftime lead, as Stanford endured one of its worst shooting games of the season. Stanford shot 23 percent from the field in the first half while committing 11 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes.
It was the Cardinal's first game at USF in 23 years, the first game on the USF campus since 1987, and the 68th meeting between the schools. Stanford leads the series 46-22.
Next Saturday, the Cardinal host Long Beach State, while the Dons visit UC Santa Barbara.

49ers Collapse Again on Primetime, Lose 27-23 to Giants

SANTA CLARA — In life, there are only three certainties: death, taxes, and the 49ers blowing a half-time lead. On Monday Night, closing out a game continued to be a problem for San Francisco, as they dropped their third game of the season with a halftime lead. It also marks the sixth time the 49ers have conceded a fourth-quarter lead under Kyle Shanahan.
This time, they handed the New York Giants their second win of the season and Eli Manning his 36th fourth-quarter comeback of his career in the 27-23 loss at Levi's Stadium on Monday Night Football.
Finishing has been a staple of Shanahan press conferences all season, yet the second-year head coach can't seem to correct the problem that has been following him since his epic Super Bowl LI collapse.
The 49ers went into the half with a 13-10 lead thanks to Robbie Gould knocking down field goals from 53 and 36 yards and Matt Breida finding paydirt on a three-yard rush.
Breida later caught an 11-yard touchdown pass, becoming the first 49er to score on a rush and a catch since December 2012.
However, the defense started to collapse in the third allowing ten points in just 3:38 to bring the Giants back into the game. Big plays set up the Giants with excellent field position that they capitalized on to bring things even to start the fourth.
The 49ers had trouble getting to the quarterback all game long with an uninspiring pass rush on an offensive line that was allowing four sacks per game coming in. Defensive coordinator, Robert Saleh, continued his overly conservative play-calling leading to the only sack of the game coming in the fourth quarter on a third-down play with the game tied. It was one of just three QB hits the 49ers collected since the blitz was hardly dialed up.
On the subsequent drive, the 49ers drove downfield but had to settle with a field goal instead of putting the game away.
"I thought we had a chance to step on their throat there and we didn't. We let them back in it fast. [We] kept them around too long and then we didn't make the plays at the end and had every opportunity to and just as a team, players, coaching staff, we didn't get it done" said Shanahan.
The Giants took over the game-winning drive with 2:46 remaining.
The 49ers took two defensive penalties to extend the Giants drive that ended with Manning throwing his third touchdown of the game and the first for Sterling Shepard.
Manning finished throwing 19-of-31 for 188 yards and the three scores for a 110.7 passer rating. He found his favorite receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., four times for 73 yards with two of them going for touchdowns, both on blown coverages.
Saquon Barkley was handed off to 20 times for 67 yards, averaging just 3.4 per carry.
In his second career game, Nick Mullens came down to earth throwing 27-of-39 for 250 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. A bobbled catch from Marquise Goodwin caused the second one. Overall, Mullens did everything you could've asked from a third-string quarterback making his second career start.
George Kittle was once again the most reliable receiver for the 49ers, catching nine of 10 targets for 83 yards.
The 49ers now head into the bye week with a 2-8 record, giving Shanahan an extra week to figure out how to finish a game.

The No. 24 Stanford Cardinal had hoped to build a two-game win streak when they returned to Stanford Stadium to welcome the No. 14 Washington State Cougars on Saturday. For the Cardinal, it was Homecoming Reunion weekend and a lot of folks were decked in red and white as they took in all the festivities.

Just moments after the Pac-12 action went underway, Stanford had a strong opening drive with a 1st and 10 on the WSU 22. Then, just like that, K.J. Costello threw a touchdown pass to J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, who scored an 18-yard touchdown for his 24th career touchdown of the season. Jet Toner kicked in the extra point for the Cardinal for a 7-0 lead at the 11:09 mark of the first quarter.
With the touchdown catch, Arcega-Whiteside moved into a tie with DeRonnie Pitts (1997-2000) for third-most in school history. He also moved past Mike Tolliver (1979-83) for 16th on Stanford's all-time career receiving yards list (1,821). In addition, he became just the sixth Cardinal with 10 touchdown catches in a season–the most since Ty Montgomery in 2013.
It didn't take long for the Cougars to tie the game 7-7 with 8:17 left in the first. James Williams ran for a 5-yard touchdown and Blake Mazza kicked in the extra, game-tying point for the Cougars.
The Cougars took a 14-7 lead on a Cardinal turnover just a little over three minutes later. Gardner Minshew II connected with Max Borghi for a four-year touchdown and Mazza kicked in the point for the Cougars.
The Cardinal tied the game 14-14 with just 1:22 left in the first. Cameron Scarlett ran for a 2-yard touchdown and Toner kicked in the extra, game-tying point for the Cardinal.
On the last drive, Bryce Love became the fifth Cardinal with 3,500 career rushing yards. As a result, Love surpassed Toby Gerhart for fourth on Stanford's all-time career rushing list.
The Cardinal and Cougars were tied 14-14 at the end of the first. Stanford scored the most points (14) in the first this season. Stanford's previous high was 7 points.
The Cardinal went ahead 21-14 with 9:25 left in the second quarter. Costello threw a touchdown pass to Kaden Smith, who scored a 10-yard touchdown. Toner kicked in the extra point for the Cardinal.
With the touchdown pass, Costello tied his career-high with his 14th touchdown pass of the season. He has 28 for his career. This was his eighth career game with multiple touchdown passes (four this season).
The Cougars, however, reduced the Cardinal's lead 28-17 as the clock winded down. Mazza kicked a 23-yard field goal to cut the Cougars' deficit.
The Cardinal doubled its lead 28-17 with 1:04 left in the second. Once again, Costello worked his magic, throwing a pass to Houston Heimuli, who scored a 1-yard touchdown. Toner kicked in the extra point for the Cardinal. With the touchdown reception, Heimuli notched his first career reception and touchdown.
The Cardinal brought a 28-17 halftime lead to the locker room. Stanford's 28 points in the first half were the team's most in the first 30 minutes since scoring 38 against Rice in Sydney, Australia on August 26, 2017. ost first half points against a conference opponent since putting up 38 at Oregon on November 12, 2016.
The Cougars struck first in the third quarter. Williams ran for a 3-yard touchdown and Mazza kicked in the extra point to pull within 4 at the 10:32 mark of the third.
The Cardinal responded quickly with a 40-yard field goal from Toner, who gave Stanford a 31-24 lead with 6:16 left in the third.
After running around and forcing 3 and outs, the Cardinal led the Cougars 31-24 at the end of the third. Don't forget that Stanford has won 52 of its last 54 games when leading after three quarters, dating back to 2012. One of those two losses was at WSU last season.
The Cougars tied the game 31-31 at the 12:26 mark of the fourth quarter. Minshew II threw a touchdown pass to Davontavean Martin, who scored a 7-yard touchdown. Mazza kicked in the extra, game-tying point.
The Cougars snatched a 38-31 lead with 4:28 left in the fourth. Minshew II threw a touchdown pass to Renard Bell, who scored a 3-yard touchdown. Mazza kicked in the extra point.
The Cardinal tied the game 38-38 with 1:25 left in the fourth. Costello threw a touchdown pass to Arcega-Whiteside, who scored a 25-yard touchdown. Toner kicked in the extra, game-tying point.
The game would've gone into overtime, but the Cougars grabbed a 41-38 lead with just 19 seconds left in the fourth. Mazza kicked in a 42-yard field goal to seal the Cougars' 41-38 win over the Cardinal.
Despite the tough loss, Costello became the first Stanford quarterback to record multiple four touchdown passing games in a season since Andrew Luck in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Senior inside linebacker Ryan Beecher was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma on December 21, 2017. His final chemotherapy session came on June 4, 2018, and he returned to action in the Cardinal's season opener against San Diego State on August 31, 2018, a span of 253 days after his diagnosis.
The No. 24 Stanford Cardinal head to Seattle to take on the No. 15 Washington Huskies next Saturday, November 3.

49ers Embarrassed by Undefeated Rams in 39-10 Blowout
Published on October 21, 2018 October 21, 2018 by joelamiLeave a comment
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The expectations for the 49ers heading into Sunday's contest against the undefeated Rams at Levi's Stadium were low. Yet, San Francisco still failed to meet them after getting destroyed by Los Angeles 39-10 to drop their fifth straight.
Turnovers continue to be the driving force of mediocrity, as the 49ers coughed the ball up four more times. Three of which came from CJ Beathard, who fumbled once and was picked off twice. The Rams also capitalized, scoring 24 points off turnovers on Sunday.
Not everything can be put on Beathard since he was sacked eight times and hit a total of 11 times.
Aaron Donald led the way for the Rams with an insane game, as he completely dominated the line, finishing with nine tackles, four sacks, five QB hits, and six tackles for loss.
Despite the line entirely getting owned all game, Beathard did nothing to better his circumstances and looked as frozen as the Joe Montana and Dwight Clark statues erected at Levi's to commemorate "The Catch" on Sunday.
"[The turnovers] are something I need to find out. It's inexcusable," said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
However, that should've happened weeks ago. The 49ers now stand in dead last in the NFL in turnover differential, now -15 in just seven weeks and are now on pace to be one of the worst teams in NFL history.
The lone bright spot on offense was once again George Kittle. The tight end caught five passes for 98 yards and San Francisco's lone touchdown just before the half.
It's a good thing Kittle showed up too because the wide receivers were nowhere to be seen catching a total of four passes for 35 yards between Goodwin, Garcon, and Taylor.
The defense wasn't horrible for San Francisco but also received zero help from the offense. They held the Rams offense to 331 total yards, but mostly because of the great field position handed to them.
Jarred Goff made his return to the Bay, passing for 202 yards on 18 completions and two touchdowns. He spread the ball around with Robert Woods, and Brandin Cooks each catching four balls for 65 and 63 yards respectively.
Todd Gurley rushed the ball 15 times for 63 yards and two scores. He also was featured a lot in the passing game, catching four passes for 23 yards and a score.
The 49ers learned how much further they need to go before they're even considered a contender after being embarrassed by the best team in the league. But, hey. It could've been worse. At least this game was flexed out of primetime.
Rueben Foster sprained his right shoulder in the fourth quarter. It's the same shoulder he had surgery on in the off-season. Hopefully, it's not severe.
Adrian Colbert got carted off the field in the third quarter with an ankle sprain but was later seen on the sidelines wearing a baseball cap.
The 49ers head to State Farm Stadium to take on the Cardinals next Sunday at 1:25 pm PT on FOX.

San Jose State gets run over by Army 52-3
Photo credit: @SJSUSpartanFB
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — If you're a San Jose State football fan, chances are you've heard the term "revenue games." SJSU, a FBS and Mountain West school, has relied on such games to fund its athletic departments. Saturday's non-conference matchup was another example as the Spartans took on the Black Knights at Levi's Stadium in a nationally televised game on ESPNU.
Sure, SJSU fans and media members were fired up for this game. After all, it was held in Levi's Stadium–one of the best, high-end stadiums in the country–and the food has never skimped on flavor! But the Spartans were unable to achieve their goal of defeating the Black Knights.
Toss it up! #cointoss pic.twitter.com/phN9zVnpOJ

The Spartans decided to start Montel Aaron as their starting quarterback.
The Spartans got on the board first as Bryce Crawford kicked in a 49-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead with 4:14 left in the opening quarter. SJSU led Army 3-0 at the end of the quarter.
The Black Knights immediately responded with a 41-yard passing touchdown from Jordan Asberry. Jordan Abercrombie kicked in the extra point for a 7-3 lead just seven seconds into the second quarter. The Black Knights struck with a late touchdown–a 1-yard rushing touchdown from Kelvin Hopkins, Jr.–and another extra point kick from Abercrombie with 12 seconds left in the quarter. Army carried a 14-3 lead to the locker room at halftime.
It's official- they're Officers in the United States Army. Please help us in congratulating them for their achievement. 👏 pic.twitter.com/AW94dfRoEM
The Black Knights got off to a good start to open the second half. Hopkins, Jr. notched his second touchdown of the game–a 24-yard rushing touchdown–and Abercrombie kicked in the extra point for a 21-3 lead with 9:06 left in the third quarter.
Turnovers, however, affected the Spartans like in previous games. SJSU's first turnover of the game led to an Army scoring drive. At the time, the Black Knights were unable to add a touchdown, but they settled for a 33-yard field goal from Abercrombie, who added to the scoreboard 24-3 with 7:39 left in the quarter.
But the Black Knights weren't done yet. Darnell Woolfolk bowled into the end zone for a one-yard rushing touchdown and Abercrombie kicked in the extra point to expand Army's lead 31-3 with 6:18 left in the quarter.
Hopkins, Jr. scored what appeared to be his third rushing touchdown of the game–a four-yard rushing touchdown–but the play underwent a review. After further review, the ruling on the touchdown stood and Abercrombie kicked in the extra point to enlarge the lead 38-3 with 1:44 left in the quarter.
Following the Army touchdown, Aaron returned to the field and replaced Michael Carrillo. Aaron completed a pass to Thai Cottrell for seven yards to the SJSU 39 for a Spartan first down and then completed another pass to Tre Walker for nine yards to the SJSU 32. The Black Knights led 38-3 at the end of the quarter.
The Spartans committed another turnover that led to a Black Knights touchdown–a 52-yard fumble touchdown from James Nachtigal–and a PAT kick from Abercrombie, who made it 45-3 just 28 seconds into the fourth quarter.
The Spartans opened the scoring, but the Black Knights took the lead and never looked back. Army defeated SJSU 52-3 and it wasn't even close.
"I thought the personal foul at the end of the game was embarrassing and awful and wrong," head coach Brent Brennan said. "I've already addressed it with the team as there's no place for that."
"This was a total gut punch for our program, Brennan added. "I thought we were making great progress and I was actually encouraged about our practices and what it shows is that we're not ready to make the next move."
Aside from Brennan, the Spartan players had other thoughts on this game.
"We're ready to move on," defensive lineman Bryson Bridges said. "We played to the best of our abilities."
When asked about pursuing the next level, cornerback Dakari Monroe responded, "Yes. Definitely. Since I came here, I've always wanted to play at the next level. I definitely want to pursue that."
Last but not least, running back Tyler Nevens closed out the postgame press conference. Nevens reflected on his injury, asserting the media members, "I'm feeling good. I'm feeling more comfortable. My injury took me a lot of time to heal and get back to being the football player that I am. I showed them what I got."
The Spartans' possible starters were JaQuan Blackwell, Jackson Snyder, Troy Kowalski, Trevor Robbins, Jake Colman, Deano Motes, Josh Oliver, Josh Love, Tyler Nevens, Thai Cottrell and Tre Hartley on offense and Bryson Bridges, Boogie Roberts, Sailosi Latu, Jesse Osuna, Kyle Harmon, Ethan Aguayo, Jamal Scott, Dakar Monroe, John Touissaint, Tre Webb and Jonathan Lenard, Jr. on defense.
The Spartans will travel to Qualcomm Stadium to take on the San Diego State Aztecs next Saturday at 7:30 pm PT on CBSS.

Here's what you should know coming into Saturday's matinee:
San Jose State's record
0-5, 0-2 Mountain West. Most recently, the Spartans lost to Colorado State, 42-30, on October 6th.
Army West Point's record
3-2. Most recently, the Black Knights defeated the Buffalo Bulls, 42-13, on September 29th.
What channels will the game be on?
ESPNU and WatchESPN will provide play-by-play coverage of the SJSU-Army game. The live telecast is scheduled for 12:30 pm PT.
What stations will the game be broadcasted?
KLIV (1590 AM, San Jose) originates SJSU football broadcasts. Justin Allegri calls the play-by-play. Kevin Richardson provides commentary.
The Army broadcast begins at 12:00 pm PT with a pregame show.
SJSU's network affiliate is KION (1460 AM/101.1 FM, Salinas).
This will be the first meeting between the two teams. SJSU and Army are slated to play a home-and-home series through the 2021 season. The Black Knights would be the home team in 2019 and 2021.
38th school
SJSU will become the 38th school to play the three FBS service academy teams (Air Force, Army and Navy) with the completion of the Army game.
SJSU's one of at least two teams to score 30 points in a quarter this season with its 30-point third quarter in its recent 42-30 loss to Colorado State.
North Texas scored 31 points in the second quarter of a 58-16 win over Incarnate Word on September 8th.
The last time SJSU scored 30 or more points in a quarter was a 35-point second quarter in a 69-41 win at UTEP on November 3, 2003.
For the first time since playing in the 2012 Military Bowl, SJSU was credited with a two-point safety when Boogie Roberts tackled Colorado State running back Izzy Matthews in the Rams' end zone on a first-down rushing attempt that started at the two-yard line.
National leader
Dakari Monroe's the FBS national leader in passes defended with his 2.4 average. Monroe was credited with a personal single-game best four pass break-ups in the Colorado State game on October 6th.
For the season, Monroe has two pass interceptions and 10 pass break-ups.
The Josh Oliver factor
For the fifth consecutive week, Josh Oliver is the leading pass receiver among FBS tight ends. Oliver is averaging 6.20 receptions a game and has 31 catches for the season.
Oliver's the only tight end listed among the FBS' top-50 pass receivers in games played through October 6.
22 of Oliver's 31 receptions this season resulted in a SJSU first down.
Oliver and Stanford's Kaden Smith share the national lead for receiving yards by a listed tight end at 382 in games played through October 6th.
#22 is #2 again
For the second consecutive week, Thai Cottrell ranks second nationally in kickoff return average at 33.9 per return.
This season, Cottrell has returns of 96 at Oregon, 72 versus Hawaii and 44 yards versus Colorado State. Cottrell's previous long return was 28 yards during the 2017 season.
Five-game streak in 2018
For the first time since the 2013 season, SJSU has a pass interception in five consecutive games in the same season. With a pair of interceptions in the final game of the 2017 season, the Spartans have a six-game streak going intercepting a pass.

Safeway Open: Snedeker's collapse opens door for Tway's first Tour win

NAPA, Calif. – Brandt Snedeker was nine holes away from becoming the first player in the FedEx Cup era – which started in 2007 – to win the last event of the previous season and follow it up by winning the opening tournament of the next season.
One playoff hole later, one of the bigger golf collapses in recent years was complete.
Snedeker blew a four-stroke lead and was forced to watch as Kevin Tway outlasted Ryan Moore for his first PGA Tour win at the Safeway Open at Silverado Resort & Spa's North Course. He made birdie on each of the last five holes – including the three playoff holes – to close the deal in grand fashion.
"It was nice to get hot at the end," said Tway, the son of multiple PGA Tour winner Bob Tway, whose 1986 PGA Championship win came two years before he was born. "I knew the last few holes were easier, so I was just trying to make pars before I got to those holes.
"I've always wanted to play in the Masters, and now it's happening. It's going to be pretty awesome."
With the win, the 30-year-old Tway not only gets 500 FedEx Cup points, but he also is fully exempt through the 2020-21 season while earning spots in this season's Tournament of Champions, the Players Championship, the Masters as well as the PGA Championship.
He started the day three strokes behind Snedeker, and early on, it looked as if he would slip back to the pack, as he bogeyed two of the first four holes to fall five shots back at one point. He got things back together, however, as he got those two shots back at the sixth and eighth.
He bogeyed the 11th, but he held firm and then birdied the final two holes to get into a three-way playoff with Snedeker and Ryan Moore, who came from seven shots back get into the mix.
Starting the final round at nine-under, Moore played bogey-free golf and steadily climbed his way up the leaderboard, and his birdie at the par-5 18th tied Snedeker at 14-under, while Snedeker still had three holes to play.
"On a day like today, it's not necessarily about how you're swinging, how you're hitting (the ball), it's how you can just put the ball in the hole," Moore said. "Somehow, I managed to do that today. I was able to just put together a really scrappy round of golf." For the first nine holes, Snedeker was in complete control of the tournament. He did bogey the fourth hole, but he quickly got that shot back with a birdie at the very next hole and then picked up another shot at the par-3 seventh. At that point, he had a five-shot lead.
The wheels started to wobble for Snedeker when he hit the back nine, bogeying holes 10 through 12 and had his lead completely disintegrate. Several guys were right on his tail, and Moore caught all the way up to him.
Snedeker birdied each of the last three holes on Saturday, and he kept that trend going with a birdie at the par-5 16th to re-take the lead.
However, he quickly lost that lead when he found himself in the trees at the 17th and dropped a shot. Needing at least a birdie to avoid a playoff, he found the fairway bunker on the right side at the 18th. He then found the deep rough with his second shot. He made it on the green with his approach shot and then two-putted for his par to force a playoff with Moore and Tway.
On the first playoff hole, Snedeker's drive found the fairway, but his second shot trickled off the green. Moore's second shot did the same while Tway's was about 20 yards short. The other two were able to get it up and down, and when Snedeker's attempt missed to the right, his tournament was done.
"Really disappointing," Snedeker said. "I'm going to look at that one in a few years and know I gave that one away. It sucks right now, but (I'm) playing next week, so (let's) build on it and take the positives from this week.
"I played probably 63 holes of pretty damn good golf and nine holes I wish I had back."
Luke List, the only guy in the field who did not wear a hat this week, also made a run on the back nine, and his eagle at the 18th left him at 13-under and only one shot back.
J.B. Holmes was one of the guys to make an early charge on Sunday. The former Ryder Cupper started at seven-under and gained significant ground. In fact, he picked up (four) shots and found himself tied for fourth after birdieing three hole in a row at holes 11 through 13. He finished the tournament at 11-under and in ninth place.
Another was Danny Lee, who started the day at seven-under, but then a stretch of three birdies in five holes on the front nine had him tied for fifth at one point. However, he stalled out on the back nine and could not get any closer, finishing at 10-under and tied for 10th.
One guy who was not in the mix at the end was Phil Mickelson. He was in it for the first 36 holes of this event, but fatigue from playing in France for the Ryder Cup last weekend set in over the weekend, and he finished at eight-under.
"I've made a bit of a mistake that I'm going to learn from, as far as playing too many events in a row and not being able to recover and be as sharp as I want to be," Mickelson said. "And then, I just need to be focused when I'm playing.
"I think next year, when it has a bit of a break between the FedEx Cup and the start of the season, I think the field here's going to get really strong."

Expressing helplessness, Governor Abdul'aziz Yari of Zamfara said last Friday that he no longer considered himself the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the state. The governor's lamentation was embodied in a message to the people of the state as they celebrated Eid el Fitri.
Doubtless, Zamfara has been the epicentre of banditry and horrific killings in the northwest, a situation that has prompted some action by the air force two days ago. Killings are reported almost every other day in Zamfara. Only three local governments in the state are said to be free from horrors of the bandits.
Yari, who incidentally is the chairman of the governors' forum, alleged that he has no control on the security machinery of the state. According to the governor, the title of the chief security officer " is just a nomenclature." Given the enormity of the bloodletting in Zamfara it would seem understandable that the governor is overwhelmed by the problems.
However, is it justifiable for a governor to drop the responsibility for the security of the people because of the alleged lack control of the state apparatuses established to ensue security? Someone needs to tell the governor that it is not so easy to "resign" as the state security officer. According to Section 14(2b) of the constitution, "the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government." The governor took his oath of office based on this constitution just as the President and Commander-in-Chief did. There is no way a governor could be permitted to "drop" a constitutional responsibility. To be responsible for security is not a policy choice for a governor. In fact, it is a total perversion of the concept of governance for a state governor to say that he is abdicating the security duty for even a second. The governor should just summon a strategy up his sleeves and govern.
Beside legalism, it is a moral responsibility of a leader not succumb to despair in the face of a crisis. It is part of the duty of a leader to give hope to the people even when it appears that there is no basis for it. A mood of resignation should not permeate the security atmosphere of the state under his leadership. Yari's critics say the governor hardly stay in the state seven days in a week to attend to the business of government. This certainly compounds the question of moral leadership in the circumstance.
History is, of course, replete with examples of how moral leadership could be decisive in moments of crisis. Take a sample. With his inimitable rhetoric, Winston Churchill as the British prime minister deployed words in the battle against Adolf Hitler during World War II. The point at issue here is about the task of the leader to lift the spirit of the people in the face of a crippling crisis. Those who have no courage and sense of mission should stop seeking leadership positions. It amounts to trivialisation of governance for a governor to announce so cavalierly that he would not perform his constitutional duty. If there is a challenge of inter-governmental relations in solving a problem, the governor should face the challenge squarely rather than resigning.
More fundamentally, Yari's "resignation" should compel a thorough debate on the role of state governments in national security within the context of a broad security policy review. After all, the heads of security agencies and armed forces formations located in a state work with the governor as members of the state security council.
First, there is a myth that the governors are completely powerless in matters of security. This myth has to be concretely exploded for a meaningful discussion of the problem. Governors should not be permitted to abdicate their constitutional responsibilities for the security of their respective states. Even the District Officer (D.O.) in the colonial days had security responsibilities. The territory for which a D.O. was responsible could be as large as that of a state.
The fact is that governors actually assume some security powers. That is why they make allocations for the famous security votes. The other day, Mr. Peter Obi, who was the governor of Anambra state for eight years, advocated a system that would make governors "account for security votes." According to Obi, some governors could allocate up to 20-30% of state expenditures as "security votes." For the former governor, security votes constitute leakages in the treasury. He should know what he is talking about in this matter. Recent developments seem to vindicate Obi's iconoclastic position.
Now security votes are theoretically meant for security tasks of the governors. For instance, Yari has not told his people in Zamfara if he would stop allocating part of the state resources as security votes following his "resignation" as the chief security officer. If the myth that a governor is only a chief security officer of his state in name is sustained, for what then does he need security votes, which in some states run into billions of naira? This is a major contradiction the Zamfara governor needs to resolve as he girds his loins to tackle the huge problem of insecurity in his state.
Contrast Yari's lamentation with the remarkable courage and steadfastness of his Borno counterpart, Governor Kashim Shettima. Borno has been the worst hit in the Boko Haram's killings and destruction in the northeast. From the day he took oath of office, Shettima has been giving leadership under the yoke of Boko Haram terrorism without buckling for a day. He has never waivered in discharging the security responsibility to the people. On one occasion, he summoned the exceptional courage to tell the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan that the Nigerian military could not match the insurgents in terms of firepower. He has since been proved right by the subsequent turn of events in the country. Rather than resign he critically engaged the federal authorities to tackle the insecurity in the state. Shettima has never shirked his own fraction of the responsibility for the security of Borno state in the last eight years.
Policing is one area where the myth of lack of state control of the state apparatus is often peddled. Yet, there is hardly any report of a state commissioner of police refusing to work with the governor in responding to security challenges. If anything, the reverse is the case in most states.
Ironically, state governments spend lot money on procuring equipment and facilities for their respective state police commands to enhance security. In reality, the funding of the police is already a shared responsibility between the federal and state governments while we await the realisation of the dream of a "state police" in a "true federalism." State governments are funding police anti-robbery squads.
In fact, in Lagos state, beginning with the administration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the management of security has been well structured with the establishment of a security trust fund to which corporate citizens and private individuals contribute immensely. The model has worked and it is likely going to be embraced by other states. Policing of Lagos state has been enhanced by the deployment of the funds to equip the police. The state commissioner of police is, of course, an important member of the state security council. Even when President Olusegun Obasanjo and Tinubu were at daggers drawn on most issues, the security chiefs in Lagos state worked harmoniously with the former governor to the admiration of all.
In the specific case of Zamfara, the possibilities within the justice sector (with all its limitations) ought to be explored before the wringing of hands by the governor while his people are slain. The governor should be working with the police to ensure that the killings are properly investigated and the suspects arrested. The job of the prosecution is that of the Zamfara state attorney general. So the situation is not as helpless as the governor makes it to appear to the public.
Beyond physical security, the people also need social security. Now both aspects of security are mutually reinforcing. Is the governor also abdicating the social security responsibility? For a poor state such as Zamfara, governance would include provision of basic education for the children of the poor and universal healthcare delivery. Youth development would reduce the reservoir of recruits into banditry and other violent crimes. Poverty is at the root of the crisis ravaging Zamfara and other parts of Nigeria. Nigeria sowed the wind of underdevelopment and poor governance; it is now reaping the whirlwind of violent killings by terrorists and bandits.
So, Governor Yari should not resign as the chief security officer. He should rather face governance squarely.

Any comments about the season finale episode of Star Trek: Enterprise that was aired on Saturday May 29?
Tags: obituary, scifi, space opera, star trek, time travel
Re: Star Trek: Enterprise
Just that NPR played Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful title music to the first ST movie this afternoon.
Goldsmith died last week, leaving behind him some wonderful film scores, of which the ST one was probably the best. Even Richard Strauss might have been a bit envious.
I didn't know that Jerry Goldsmith passed away.
pzarquon
Yep. I've heard half a dozen tributes and segments about him on the radio already. He was really a "working composer" (versus a "prestige composer" like John Williams), and thus had more on the quantity side of the quantity-versus-quality equation. But, while paying the bills, he did have his moments of genius, and some of his sounds and melodies are nearly as widely recognizable as other "great themes."
His "Star Trek" theme was so good, it was used for more than one of the movies and the first TV revival, after all.
Back to Enterprise, though, I'd completely lost track of the show. I watched a few early episodes and really thought it had promise. But they took a leap and decided to go with a long story arc (i.e. a plot that continues for a whole season, rather than short stories that begin and end in an hour), and while I'm sure it won some new fans, it made it impossible for me to keep up.
I know Enterprisefell into the "time travel" theme prematurely (usually time travel plots means they're running out of ideas), and Captain Archer was central to some big future event involving the Xindi. The Xindi, who also time traveled, knew that humans were going to kick their asses, so they went back in time to attack Earth. But, only a practice run or something, giving Captain Archer - fortified with some military grunts - a chance to go and get 'em first. Of course, they all got lost in The Expanse, and met crazy Vulcans, or something, and... well, not surprisingly, it all goes off the rails around here.
So... spoiler tags optional... what the heck happened in the finale?
The Xindi didn't time travel to attack Earth, they were told by someone else that in the future Earth would destory the Xindi.
That someone else was responsible for creating the Expanse and causing all sorts of problems that in future the Federation with Xindi being part of the Federation defeats that someone else.
While some of the episodes dealt with time travel, in the end the Enterprise manages to convince some parts of the Xindi that they too were duped, but one Xindi who was promised that he would rule the Xindi empire attempted to launch the built superweapon on Earth.
The evil Xindi was defeated and the superweapon destroyed but some strange reason Enterprise ends up in 1940's San Fransisco and Captain Archer in Nazi Germany which happens to have an alien as a Nazi officer.
New episode will air this Saturday (October 9) on KGMB at 11pm HST. For those outside the State of Hawaii, check your local UPN station for airtimes.
Saturday night's episode mentioned that the distance between Earth and Vulcan is 16 light years. Didn't say which star system it was in through.
That latest episode was incredibly lame.
Trip let's T'Pol go without a word or even a wimper. I wouldn't mind if he died in the next episode.
UPN Going to KIKU TV
It is quite possible that "Enterprise" fans will probably have to adjust their Tivos and VCRs to accomodate the work hour/commute prime time.
I'm still here. Are you?
According to Thursday's Advertiser Enterprise will be aired on Fridays at 4pm and Sundays at 11pm on KIKU.
Last night's epsiode had vocal audio problems (background sound level was okay but you can't hear the actors speak at times).
November 1, 2004, 06:32 AM
I wonder how "Enterprise" is doing, ratings wise? After the last season, I lost interest entirely, even though I thought the show had promise at first. The whole long-form Xindi story arc leaves me cold. I have to expect people are watching, though, since they're still making episodes!
I hope the UPN/KIKU arrangement means more reliable scheduling for "Enterprise" and all UPN shows. I wonder if they lose some audience locally because of the "rabbit ears" effect, though? KGMB has a strong broadcast signal, so it reaches plenty of folks who don't have cable. KIKU, I'm pretty sure, has a pretty weak signal.
November 6, 2004, 01:38 PM
Due to the time it was shown, I tape Enterprise and just watched it today. The presentation for the first 15 minutes including the commericals had static hiss in the background but it was okay in the remaining part. At least the vocal audio didn't drop out like it did last week or for parts of the 2nd season.
As far as the episode itself, last week episode's made Dr. Soong a Lex Luthor type of villian (from the comic series before 1986), smart and dangerous. This week's episode he is less dangerous. Not a mass murderer, and I don't think he was jailed for that. But rather if could obtain his goal without hurting anyone he would do it.
Interesting episode for yesterday (11/12). At least there attempts in overall series continuty trying to reference the Star Trek II and Star Trek IX movies in that episode as well as Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Kanaka
I haven't graduated to a digital recording device for my tele so I end up watching when it's on. Consequently I stopped watching ever since it went to 11pm on KGMB. Now that Enterprise is on at 4pm on KIKU I get to watch. So as you can guess I got a lot of catching up to do. This Dr. Soong mini-series was interesting how it tied in Khan. I never realized there was a link.
I also never realized there was some sort of romance between Trip(sp.) and the vulcan first officer. Pardon my lack of names. I hate to destroy names with gross mispellings. That must have been another series onto itself.
Admittedly I did start to lose interest in the show since the characters weren't as strong as in DS9 or Next Generation. Even Voyager was more captivating. I am willing to give Enterprise another chance now that it is more accessible.

Fact-check: Is flu harder on kids than COVID-19?
Madeline Heim
PolitiFact.com
Ron Johnson: "For younger people, seasonal flu is "in many cases" a deadlier virus than COVID-19"
PolitiFact's ruling: Mostly True
Here's why: As schools across the country open for the uncertain, unprecedented school year to come, opinions are split on how to do so safely.
Some districts have opted for completely virtual learning. Others will try a mix of both online and in-person classes, or will send younger children to school while older kids stay home, or will phase students back to the classroom gradually.
Others still are calling for schools to reopen completely for those who feel well enough to teach and attend, and who aren't especially vulnerable to COVID-19.
One such voice is U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, who in an Aug. 13, 2020 radio interview with Milwaukee talk show host Steve Scaffidi on WTMJ-AM discussed why he believes students need to return to school in person this fall.
For younger people, Johnson asserted, "seasonal flu is actually, in many cases, a deadlier virus if they contract that."
Is Johnson correct that COVID-19 is less deadly for children than the flu?
Let's dig in.
COVID was less harsh on kids than the flu, this year's stats show
To back up his claim, Johnson's office sent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on flu and COVID-19 deaths among Americans under age 18.
During the 2018-19 flu season, the CDC reported approximately 480 flu deaths among children ages 0-17, about 30% of whom had a lab-confirmed case of influenza.
Comparably, 90 American youth have died from coronavirus complications from the beginning of the pandemic through mid-August, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
More than 46,000 children were hospitalized for flu in that 2018-19 period. The hospitalization rate among children 5 to 17 was 39.2 children per 100,000 children. For COVID-19, that hospitalization rate is 6 per 100,000 children ages 5 to 17, the CDC says.
In a report detailing the differences between COVID-19 and the flu, the CDC states that "the risk of complications for healthy children is higher for flu compared to COVID-19."
And data from Wisconsin echoes that sentiment. Since the pandemic began, no children have died from COVID-19 complications, according to state Department of Health Services death data, and 147 people ages 0-19 have been hospitalized. In contrast, three pediatric flu deaths occurred during this year's flu season, DHS data show, and 605 kids ages 17 and under have been hospitalized.
What those statistics might not account for
The data show there have been fewer childhood deaths from COVID-19 so far this year than from the seasonal flu.
The hold-up, of course, lies in nuance, said Dr. Jon Temte, associate dean for public health and community engagement within UW-Madison's School of Medicine and Public Health.
"U.S. schools have been out (and) mostly closed since March, thus extremely limiting cases of SARS-CoV-2 in children. Conversely, we rarely close schools for influenza, thus allowing an attack rate of 30-40% in school-aged children," Temte wrote in an Aug. 27, 2020 email to PolitiFact Wisconsin.
That is, the flu has been able to spread through children more commonly than COVID-19, creating more cases, more complications and more deaths.
Other experts agree. Dr. Chad Vercio, chair of pediatrics at Riverside University Health System in California, said children's risk from the coronavirus depends on how widespread the virus is in any given area, and that "it is unknown" if COVID hospitalization rates would rise once schools reopen.
And though the early data suggests that COVID-19 is not as bad for children as the flu, it's just that: Early.
Dr. Vidya Mony, an infectious disease expert with Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, Calif., said there isn't enough data yet to say indisputably that COVID risks are lower for kids.
Our ruling
Johnson claimed that in many cases, the seasonal flu was a deadlier virus for youth than COVID-19.
The numbers show that this year, that was the case. More children died from flu complications than from COVID-19, and were hospitalized at higher rates for the flu.
But experts caution that we don't have enough data to paint the full picture so early in the game, and that schools shutting down in early spring may have driven down coronavirus case rates in children — meaning we can't be sure exactly how the virus will move through young people when more of them are potentially getting exposed.
Our definition for Mostly True is "the statement is accurate but needs clarification or additional information."
That fits here.

Q: understanding flask hierarchy in case of rendering user input of one HTML page into an other one (jinja, render_template) I've been working on a problem set: cs50 finance. The "quote" part works as follows: (1) user fills the form of quote.html with a stock symbol (2) press submit (3) lands on quoted.html where we display some information like name of the company, stock price etc.
For an easy start I decided to use only one variable "name" and hardcode its value "Anna" into application.py to check if it appears on quoted.html.
1st case:
I hardcoded "name" in def quoted. After pressing "submit" on quote.html quoted.html shows up BUT it doesn't handle my variable "name", the place of my variable is blank, the value "Anna" doesn't appear.

2nd case:
I hardcoded "name" at the end of def quote and now the value "Anna" of my variable appears on quoted.html.

Why is that? My way of thinking is that I point to quoted.html via quote.html and when the program reach that point it should find the variable in the definition of quoted.html and use it, but obviously it is not so. So what is really happening here?

    return render_template("quoted.html")

A: In case 1 and 2, if the user starts at yoursite.com/quote they will go through def quote() and head to the else statement because it is a GET request.  Quote.html will be rendered, this is where they fill in the fields and hit submit.  Still on yoursite.com/quote so it will go through def quote() this time as a POST.
In case 2 it gets to
    # Redirect user to quoted to see data
    return render_template("quoted.html", name="Anna")

Where the name="Anna" argument gets passed to the jinja template and rendered with {{name}}.
In case 1 it gets to the same part of the code.
    # Redirect user to quoted to see data
    return render_template("quoted.html")

And now there is no hardcoded name.  But I'm assuming you want it to jump to def quoted() and render quoted.html with the name from there?  Then you need:
    # Redirect user to quoted to see data
    return redirect(url_for("quoted"))

redirect and url_for can be imported from flask.  More on redirects in the flask docs.

Sebelius: Guvs Against Medicaid Are 'Playing Politics' With People's Lives
By Catherine Thompson
February 25, 2014 2:34 p.m.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius on Tuesday slammed Republican governors who are ideologically opposed to expanding Medicaid in their states for putting their constituents' health at risk.
"Unfortunately, what I think we have in a large case is governors playing politics with people's lives and people's health," Sebelius said in an interview with HuffPost Live. "There's no reason that this return on investment isn't a very positive thing because there's a cost of doing nothing in those states."
Sebelius listed Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida as states that harmed black residents in particular by refusing to accept federal money to expand Medicaid coverage. And in Texas, she pointed out, almost one in four residents have no insurance at all.
"It has nothing to do with the constituents that live in that state. It's really about his own ideological battle with the president of the United States," Sebelius said of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's (R) refusal to expand the program.
Perry has compared expanding Medicaid in Texas to "putting 1,000 more people on the Titanic," even though estimates show almost a million uninsured Texans could have benefitted from the extended coverage.
A recent Harvard University and City University of New York study supports the argument that refusing to expand the program could have lethal consequences. The study found as many as 17,000 Americans will die as a direct result of states opting against expanding Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Sebelius also told HuffPost Live that she spoke with governors on both sides of the aisle at the annual meeting of the National Governors Association last weekend. Attendees trumpeted the meeting's bipartisanship, until Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy (D) got into a squabble about the economy at a press briefing.
"I think we could also grow the economy more if we delay more of these Obamacare mandates," Jindal, who has rejected Medicaid expansion, said.

Danny Stetson (Michael O'Keefe) is a clean-cut, all-American college student and gymnast with dreams of Olympic gold when he's lured into "Homeland," a youth-oriented religious commune, by a compellingly beautiful girl, Rebecca (Karen Allen). Here he is programmed by the charismatic leader, Neil Kirklander (Peter Fonda), to believe that his new life now has the true meaning that it previously lacked.
Anguished by their son's disappearance, Danny's parents (Elizabeth Ashley and Brian Dennehy), hire a modern-day bounty hunter, Charles Pratt (James Woods), to abduct Danny and exorcise his brainwashed mind, but the psychological change could be traumatizing...

If you wonder what it's like to fly with the angels, you can find out in Basilicata's high-wire zip line called il Volo dell'Angelo (lit. the flight of the angel). The open-air thrill ride is located in the Dolomiti Lucane, strung between two picturesque mountain towns, Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa, where the jagged peaks kept the villages isolated on their respective crests across a deep ravine until after WWII.
These towns literally and figuratively joined together in 2006 to open the Volo dell'Angelo's 4000-feet long cables spanning a 1200 feet deep gorge. The ride launches you at 120 km per hour over gorgeous scenery in one breathtaking minute of invigorating free-flight sensation.
When a group of family came to visit we hyped ourselves up into strapping ourselves in and flying. Five of us bought our tickets in Castelmezzano and hopped on the shuttle that would take us part of the way up the mountain. From there, we hiked about two kilometers over rough terrain up to the launch point. We decided in what order we would fly and suited up. The staff hooks you onto the line and with only an "arrivederci" as warning, launches you off towards Pietrapertosa.
The first seconds are numbing, then the open views and exhilaration give you an incredible rush. The arrival is a bit of a surprise the first time, a quick jerk at the station and you're stopped.
We arrived one by one, the adrenaline making us giddy. We strolled through Pietrapertosa, got refreshments and then walked up to the old Arab quarter and the ruins of the castle to the launch site for our return flights. We could have stayed for lunch, but the less adventurous in the group were waiting for us back in Castelmezzano.
Going back was even more thrilling, now that we knew what to expect. The flight was more tranquil and we could see sheep grazing far below, birds flying not far above, and the folds of the landscape… while enjoying the incredible sensation of flying. It is over in one breathtaking minute, yet somehow it seems longer.
Back on the ground, our group hugged and hooted and laughed, a perfect outing to enjoy these family moments together in the beautiful scenery of Basilicata.
What fun! Way less risky than paragliding. I saw paragliding in Austria, where people calmly launched themselves from the top of the Schafberg, in the Salzkammergut. I love mountains but the risk-taker in me has quietly stepped back. I hope to visit the Dolomites at some point.
This looks fabulous. Do you know anything about their safety record? Have there been any injuries, accidents?
Oh no, never for me! I don't even go on the childrens' rides at amusement parks. no, it's good solid Mother Earth for me… Also, I never go past the eighth floor of a skyscraper let alone go to the top. I get dizzy looking off my porch.
That sounds like fun. I will put it on my bucket list.

Between his work in Being There and A Shot in the Dark, Peters Sellers showed off his immense range of talent as a comedic actor. Whereas Chance the gardener is a stoic, underwhelming, slightly mysterious presence, his performance as the iconic Inspector Clouseau in the long-running Pink Panther series is brash, debonair, and physically expressive. That isn't to say his performance as Clouseau is any more effective than Chance. Instead, both show off Sellers's classic theatrical sensibilities in two characters that have little in common on the surface.
A Shot in the Dark is the second of six Pink Panther films starring Sellers, the second of eight directed by Blake Edwards, and is often considered the best of the series. Interestingly, as someone who has limited knowledge of all things Pink Panther, the first film [released the previous year] was not centered on Sellers as Clouseau, but a character played by David Niven—audiences preferred the bumbling inspector and so the direction of the franchise dramatically shifted.
A Shot in the Dark opens with the murder of a Spanish chauffeur on the estate of a millionaire [George Sanders]; a maid [Elke Sommer] is found with the murder weapon and is immediately suspected, though she has no memory of killing the man or how she came to hold the smoking gun. Her staggering beauty transfixes Clouseau so rapturously that he can't believe she could be capable. And then the body count starts to rise with maid Maria at the center of it all.
The film is based on a stage play [which is something else I didn't know] and it really shows in the film, which is a much smaller production that I expected. While there are a few larger set-pieces, including a famous scene involving a nudist colony, most of the action takes places indoors. Sellers is more than capable of keeping the energy up, however, as he flops and karate chops his way through the film. It isn't a purely silent comedian performance [a la Chaplin, Keaton, or Lloyd], but most of the film's humor comes from the bodily harm Clouseau endures, mostly from the character's own clumsiness. There is also a recurring plot point wherein Clouseau, for some reason a black belt in karate, gets jumped by an Asian assistant Cato [who may or may not be a Green Hornet reference, I'm not at all sure].
The murder mystery elements of the film are fine, but secondary. A Shot in the Dark doesn't fool anyone in being a hardboiled detective case, nor should it. The joys of watching Sellers putting on a physical tour de force carries the film through to the madcap conclusion, which uncovers the true killers in a raucous scene.
The differences between Being There and A Shot in the Dark are not only seen in the differing Sellers characterizations but also in the styles of their auteurs. While Hal Ashby made his career on complicated character studies, often with darkly humorous or potentially controversial subject matter, Blake Edwards is a tried-and-true entertainer. His most famous work, Breakfast at Tiffany's, is a far more emotionally rounded given the rest of his filmography of broad and entertaining comedies like his half dozen other Pink Panther films and another Sellers collaboration, The Party.
There is no doubt in my mind that Being There is a more compelling and better film than A Shot in the Dark, but there is value in both. Am I compelled as a Pink Panther novice to check out the rest of the series? Not particularly, but I assume I could do worse than watching Peter Sellers bumble and stumble through a ridiculous criminal investigation, even if the rest of the series isn't held in as high a regard. Ultimately, I see the legacy of A Shot in the Dark as a perfect star vehicle for Sellers, one that allows him the full stage to do what he does best: simply entertain.


Population & Immigration (Summer 1993) | Reimagine!
No argument is more likely to seriously injure the fragile alliance between environmentalists and communities of color – and the growing environmental justice movement which so many have worked so hard to build – than the debate over U.S. immigration policy. Already on the defensive about the white, upper-class male character of their leadership and their behind-the-scenes role in negotiating policies with which low-income communities must live, environmentalists are now accused of legitimizing a racist anti-immigrant movement. Their response is that people of color and social justice advocates for immigrants' and women's rights do not take seriously the global population explosion and its inevitable damage to the earth and all its inhabitants.
This topic is especially hard for our budding movement because it leads us back to the existential values that motivate our work and thus becomes personal. For example, while researching this special issue of Race, Poverty and the Environment, we've noticed a stark, and we think class-based, difference in the language that people use to discuss population and immigration.
We've done a lot of talking to friends and allies in both movements to try to understand the arguments and find the boundaries of the debate. Social justice activists claim that some environmentalists find it easier to close the borders to this nation which uses many more times the energy and raw materials than any of the developing countries from which immigrants come, rather than work to change consumption patterns and industrial practices in the developed world. They claim also that such environmentalists undermine their own ends by refusing to confront the global causes of increased fertility and immigration - the loss of agricultural land by indigenous people, unemployment caused by some ripple in the world market, poverty, debt and the disempowerment of women; Confronting these causes would mean that environmental activists had joined social justice activists in working to change U.S. foreign policy and trade relations that enforce global inequality.


I drank several margaritas to get through these movies.
My week was crazy-busy and quite stressful and now it is the weekend and I am still stressed. My to-do list for the day is very long. Coffee beans, cat fud (as I like to say it), grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, cook for the week as far as possible, make it out to see the Whedon Avengers movie at last. That should happen later this afternoon.
I didn't watch The Hulk because I had had enough stupidity for one weekend. Mr P liked it. Am I to understand His Nortonness doesn't play Bruce Banner in the new movie?
His Nortonness is not in The Avengers. Mark Ruffalo (sp?) is Bruce Banner. I look forward to reading your thoughts on the movie.
Mark was great. The Hulk was my favorite character by far.
Yeah, we liked him a lot. Though I probably liked Natasha more.
LIES! Banner was played by the young Peter Falk.
I put Thor way, way at the bottom of that list. I spent half of that movie peering at the screen, growling, "What? What?" and everything in his homeworld (the look of it, the friends who I assume have personalities if you read the comics) was awful. Though I did like the fish-out-of-water side of it, and I was very entertained by how comically butch he was.
The others I enjoyed on their cheesy merits. RDJ was indeed being himself, but himself seemed a good fit for Ironman (unlike Sherlock, where he was weird).
No way. I voluntarily watched Thor twice. The other one that I liked enough to watch the second time was the first Iron Man (saw that first time around in the theaters). I loved the parts with him on earth and his friends walking down that main street looking so completely out of place but confident in themselves. But mostly I liked it because of Loki's character, which was the only villain in the lot whom I felt had a motivation I could believe. The last fight between Thor & Loki was personal and tragic in the best of ways.
Iron Man 1 was pure fun, though. Can't argue with it.
And yeah, he was weird as Sherlock Holmes. I might have enjoyed that portrayal more if I didn't have my socks knocked off immediately afterward by Cumberbatch's modern Holmes.
I really liked Thor a lot. More than the Avengers I think. Avengers was great, but I expected that. I went into Thor not expecting much and then I was surprised it was a great movie!


Fifty years after the gunshots that ended the life of John F. Kennedy, Americans are evenly divided over whether the 35th president of the United States was killed by one man or by a still-unidentified group of conspirators.
The national survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on November 16-17, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC . See methodology.

The night was so dark.
It was in its darkness that a love was broken. The bonds were not strong enough to last the test of time. The light from the heart not strong enough to guide them home.
Perhaps they had wandered too far from each other, got separated, and then could not find their way back.
They got lost in the dark.
But it was also in the darkness that they found what they were looking for.
As the sun comes up on a new day, its rays find them. Not together, but happy.
In the darkness, they find the light.
I wish I could have been your light to always guide you home.
But I am happy that we have each found what we need. Our journey was not in vain. For if we had not walked the path together, in the dark, we would not have been able to see the light at its end.

This blog page details my direct ancestors that have been traced back to Haverhill, Suffolk. On my 4 X great grandfather Henry's first marriage certificate to Ann Offer in Bristol, his father was recorded as Samuel, a shoemaker of London. Nothing further is confirmed about Samuel Backler, but I have research that suggests that he married Martha in Haverhill, Suffolk and that they are my 5 X great grandparents. The records of the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers in London could yield further information on Samuel.
Samuel and Martha had seven children with these baptism dates all in Haverhill, Suffolk: Elizabeth Backler 12th September 1773, Martha Backler 5th March 1775, Mary Backler 25th August 1776, Samuel Backler 4th October 1778, Sarah Backler 22nd April 1781, John Backler 23rd June 1782 and the youngest, my 4 X great grandfather, Henry Backler 3rd April 1785. Henry relocated to Bristol – see the blog page My Line of Backlers in Bristol.
I know nothing further about Elizabeth, Martha, and John. Mary married Thomas Adams in Withersfield on 16th April 1801. Samuel married Elizabeth Wiffin on 27th September 1810 in Withersfield.
Sarah married George Ager in Wixoe, Suffolk on 6th April 1829. She appeared to be 20 years older than him and died in 1840, aged 59, so there is room for error here. They had a son Abram born 1831 at Birdbrook, Essex, near Haverhill, who was 20 in the 1851 census and they had a daughter Caroline born 1826 (prior to their marriage) at Bridbrook who was 35 in the 1861 census, with the married name of Barnes. In both censuses George is shown as a widower. In the 1881 census George's occupation was 'former coachman' when he was aged 79, so that was probably his role at Moyn's Park Estate, Birdbrook in later days, because prior to that he was an agricultural labourer. George had married Eliza aged 53, and by then they were living at Barnardiston, near Haverhill, and had three children all born there, William 15, Ruth 14 and Christopher 9.
This connection to Birdbrook is interesting, because Ernest William Backler, a descendant of Thomas Backler and his wife Margaret Wakeling, was employed there as an estate carpenter in the 1911 census at the age of 40, so there may have been family connections to the earlier generation recorded above. As usual, further research is needed. This blog page cannot prove that Samuel originated in Haverhill, but it is a good bet, because all seven of his children were born there, including my 4 X great grandfather. I now need to carry out further research, to see if there were any other family connections in the Haverhill area.

Умален модел на военен самолет - Fokker Dr.I Triplane.
The Fokker Dr. I was the most legendary aircraft of the First World War, although only about 300 machines were ever built. The most important contribution to the creation of this legend was made by Cavalry Captain Manfred Baron von Richthofen, who, with 80 victories in the air, was the most successful fighter pilot of the First World War and whose planes were painted red. This redlivery was the reason why his English adversaries called him the Red Baron. On 21st April 1918 von Richthofen was killed when his plane was shot down at low altitude by Australian machine gunners. Although influenced by the design of theBritish Sopwith triplane, the Fokker was a completely independent design. The Dr. I was extremely manoeuvrable and was flown by many experienced pilots.

I have been given so many gifts through the interviews I have shared with you here, from biscuits to basic life lessons. There have been many times I've teared up (I'm so sappy), and one of my favorite things each week is reliving a chat through the editing process. I smile at the computer, lots of times I'll text them a hello, and I've also noticed some recurring themes. So as I considered, what the hell am I going to do for my 100th episode, I decided to just be me, sharing a few of those themes. So it's just you and me today, from my house on a road thawing out from an epic freak Charleston snowstorm, so you'll probably hear some trucks at some point. Anyway, I hope you'll take some of these themes into the new year with you, delve into the archives for some episodes you missed, and I'll be back in your earbuds or bluetooth in a few weeks with fresh content and a hearty appetite. Let's dig in, shall we?
