Off the Slopes: New Rodeling Video!
This video is a collaboration of short clips taken throughout the winter put together by Audi. I stayed in one of the most amazing hotel rooms in Oberjoch, Germany at the Hotel Lanig and thought the room was really cool, so I captured some of the footage with my Gopro camera. The rodeling took place with some friends in Patsch when I had a couple days off before World Champs. The skiing segments are from all over… Enjoy!
Park City Welcome Home Day
This past Saturday, Park City Mountain Resort hosted a welcome home party for me. It was a very humbling experience and all my friends and family came to watch along with the ski fans in the town. It started with a parade of flags down the main run at the mountain with a bunch of the kids and coaches on the Park City ski team. After the parade there were some speakers including the legendary Stein Eriksen, the mayor of Park City, myself and my Mom and Dad. They also put together a great/funny video from a lot of my competitors wishing me a congratulations on the season that I was surprised to watch (you can see it below!). I am so proud to have been fortunate enough to be raised in such an amazing town and to have the continued support from it throughout my career. I want to thank Park City Mountain Resort for having the event, I will never forget it.
Finals Week in Lenzerheide, Switzerland
Finals this year were held in Lenzerheide, Switzerland a couple weeks ago. It was an awesome finish to the whirlwind of a season at another amazing ski town. The weather in the beginning of the week was foggy and windy so the speed events were canceled, which was a bummer since that is a great hill for me in speed and home to my best WC DH finish (4th place). I clinched the GS title in Kranjska Gora the weekend prior going into finals, but still wanted to win the final race to cement my 4th GS title. It was awesome to end the season on such a high note. Ironically, the final GS race results were me, Hirscher, Pinturault and that was also the final standings for the GS title. I ended the season 3rd in the Overall; my best Overall ranking.
Luckily my parents were there for the week to celebrate the end of the season with me!
Overall podium; congrats again to Hirscher for an amazing season. It was awesome, motivating, frustrating and inspiring to watch him race this season. He is an admirable and fierce competitor pushing the boundaries of ski racing.
Thanks for all the support this season, I couldn't have done it without you! It means more than you know to have positive fans, family, friends and coaches which I am fortunate to have in my career. After taking a couple weeks off the season will start up again in full force and I am already pumped and looking forward to doing it all over again many many many more seasons to come.
Amazing GS season FROM THE DENVER POST DIARY
THE BELOW ARTICLE IS TAKEN FROM MY WEEKLY DIARY WITH THE DENVER POST AND JOHN MEYER ABOUT MY WORLD CUP EXPERIENCE AFTER THE RAINY GS AND SLALOM RACES IN KRANJSKA GORA, SLOVENIA.
Giant slalom for me this season has been incredible, culminating Saturday when I clinched the season title with a week left in the season. It's my fourth World Cup season title in GS, but it was definitely the best season of my career in GS. I won races by huge margins.
The rule changes reducing the legal amount of sidecut on our skis were an advantage for me, and that was a big reason I was so outspoken in criticizing them before they took effect. A rule change that determines winners and losers is a bad rule change. That was a big part of my opposition, in addition to my conviction that the FIS was wrong in its contention that reduced sidecuts would make the sport safer.
To have the season I had on the new skis, after I was such a vocal critic, was very important to me. I didn't want it to seem like I was being critical because I thought it was going to threaten my stature in giant slalom. I was outspoken because the rule change lacked virtue. I worked hard on the new skis from the time the rule changes became official so I would have a head start over the other guys in adjusting to the new equipment.
I think the new skis worked better with my technique than with most of the other guys because I start the turn earlier and finish the turn later. I have a swooping, longer arc than Marcel Hirscher of Austria, who will finish second in the GS standings. Hirscher kind of chops off a little of the top of the turn and gets a lot of rebound (and acceleration) out of the ski. That was really easy to do on the old skis; you could really accelerate out of a turn. On the new skis, you don't get as much acceleration.
I also lay the ski over on edge a little farther, which helps me arc on the reduced turn radius more cleanly.
I suspected that early in the process, after I skied on them for the first time, and also because I understood the scientific difference between a ski with a 35-meter turn radius (the new rule) and one with a 27-meter radius (the old rule). In order to pull a turn with the same radius, you need to have a higher edge angle. You can pull the same radius on a 35-meter ski versus a 27-meter radius ski if you have like 7 degrees more edge angle. My style lends itself to having a higher edge angle, and that gives me an advantage on the new skis.
Part of the team that helped me get there….
Off The Slopes: Rookie Hair Cut
The rookie haircut tradition started on the team about 4 years ago, as a fun way to both initiate and include the young rookie into the team. The haircut honors go to the last guy to score his first world cup points, so majority of the time it is a recent rookie. It is also an incentive for the rookie because if they get top 15 they get to cut my hair, so at some point in my career I'm sure I will be sporting a horrible haircut and you'll know why. Audi Off the Slopes put this video together of our last rookie cut in Garmisch.
Russia to Norway in 5 days
As you may already know last week I had the opportunity to train in Sochi on the Olympic course. I couldn't pass it up, but it meant I had a hectic traveling schedule in order to squeeze in training in Sochi between the Garmisch, Germany GS Sunday and the Kvitfjell, Norway SuperG the following Sunday. I got some cool photos while in Sochi and wanted to share. They have made a lot of progress since I was there last year for the World Cup, but I was amazed at how much more work they have to do to get ready.
Security check to get on the Gondola
I got to free ski on the Olympic Downhill course, behind me is the Olympic village
This photo was taken from the top Gondola looking down on the bottom where all the courses converge and then separate again to the finish area

Military at the top of the mountain
Looking down on Krasnaya Polyana; the main town for mountain events
Kvjetfill, Norway was a beautiful stop on the World Cup as always, too bad I couldn't spend more time there. I headed back to Germany for some training before Kranjska Gora GS and Slalom this weekend right after the Super G race.
I watched the DH race on Saturday from mid course….looks like I have a mustache!
GoPro Video of the GS Olympic Hill in Sochi
I took a video of my GS training runs on the Olympic hill in Sochi, Russia using my Gopro3 this week. One view is from me being followed by Alex down the run and the other is from my POV. This is the same slope that will be used in the 2014 Olympics for the Mens Giant Slalom run and part of the Downhill and Super G. It will be the longest GS on the World Cup, ranging from a 1 min 30 secs to 1 min 40 secs. My legs were burning midway not to even mention the bottom. Enjoy!
World Championship Diary
BELOW IS TAKEN FROM MY WEEKLY DIARY WITH THE DENVER POST AND JOHN MEYER ABOUT MY WORLD CUP EXPERIENCE ALONG WITH SOME OF MY PERSONAL PHOTOS FROM THE TWO WEEKS IN SCHALDMING.
Hard to Fathom Making History at World Ski Championships
SCHLADMING, Austria — I still can't really fathom what happened to me at the world championships. I knew I had chances for medals in super-G and super combined, and I really wanted to win the gold medal in the giant slalom. To win three gold medals definitely exceeded my expectations, and it's been a crazy wave to ride.
It's really weird thinking that it hadn't been done since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968. It's hard to imagine somebody hasn't done it in 45 years, and it was such a cool feeling to put it together the way I did.
After I won the third gold medal, the legendary Alberto Tomba spent some time with us and he was pretty taken aback, even saying it was something he couldn't have done. It was cool having one of my childhood heroes talking about how neat my accomplishment was. That was special.
I knew it was possible for me to win medals in all three events. On the World Cup this season, I've been skiing so well in super-G, with two fourth-place finishes and a sixth place, and this hill was perfect for me in super-G. I knew it was a really good opportunity.
In combined, if I hadn't lost a ski three gates from the finish line in Wengen last month, I would have been second there, so I knew I had a chance in combined at worlds. After the combined downhill — one of the best downhill runs I've had in a long time, beating a lot of the best downhill skiers in the world — I could ski tactically in the slalom rather than taking a lot of risks.
But going into the giant slalom with two gold medals, I felt a lot of pressure because defending my title from the 2011 world championships was my No. 1 goal. It was stressful because I hadn't been able to train much GS while focusing on the super-G and combined. Plus Austrian coaches set the course for the first run, and I knew they would really try to mess with me, setting a course that would be disadvantageous for me and advantageous for my main rival in GS, Marcel Hirscher, on his home hill.
To go out and win the first run by more than a second, and then be able to ski smartly on the second run, it was really cool to be in that position.
With the Olympics less than a year away now, I know winning these three gold medals has made my summer far more busy than normal. It will be a really good opportunity to project myself beyond ski racing.
But I'm not doing ski racing to become famous. I do it because I love it and I'm competitive. That's what drives me. I'm not looking to be on the cover of People magazine. My main focus is on ski racing, not the red carpet.
THE ARTICLE ABOVE WAS PUBLISHED ON MONDAY, BUT I STILL WANTED TO SHARE IT. THE PAST COUPLE DAYS I HAVE BEEN TAKEN SOME TIME OFF TO RECOVER AND RECHARGE AFTER WORLD CHAMPS, NOW I AM READY TO FINISH OFF THE REST OF THE SEASON STRONG.

Audi off the slopes video!
I have been capturing some of my adeventures in Europe this season from the Rockfest race, a heli ride to a training session in Switzerland and a bungy swing jump taken with my GoPro3 and sending them to Audi for a project they are doing with several racers called "Off the Slopes" to capture the behind the scenes of the World Cup.
SUPER G GOLD MEDAL DAY: Schladming World Champs
I still can't believe I won the Gold medal at World Champs in the Super G yesterday. It was a great day of racing, I started 10th, so I was more nervous watching the rest of the top skiers come down than I was at the start of my run. Celebrating the victory with Aksel and DeTessiere, Alex, the Head team, Audi, my coaches and my girlfriend made for an awesome day that I will never forget. It wouldn't have been possible to get the gold without the support of all those people.
After the medal ceremony we were rushed across the street to tape a live show for ORF. I thought the studio was really cool.
I celebrated over a couple beers, but had to get up early for the downhill training runs this morning. It's still early in the World Champs, so I am looking forward to the Super Combined on Monday!

Restaurant Design Seating Trends
Forget the metal bench trend: Upholstered seating is making a comeback
By Brie Dyas/Jan. 11, 2018 12:00 pm EST
Whether it's an interior inspired by Scandinavian minimalism or industrial influences, the dominant restaurant design trends of the past decade have one thing in common: really uncomfortable seating.
Maybe this is by, ahem, design? There's only so long a diner can relax on a metal garden chair, a swiveling backless stool, an undersized bistro seat or the odd reclaimed church pew before becoming unusually aware of their own backs, a tactic that must help with patron turnover. Sure, these types of seats tend to be inexpensive, easy to clean and simple to replace. Add in the fact that they can be rearranged with ease, and we understand why many restaurants have ditched the clubby upholstered seating of decades past.
However, the tide is turning in favor of old-school booths, banquettes and cushioned seats. At the recently opened new American restaurant Bellemore in Chicago, round leather booths and high-backed velvet barstools add warmth to a lofty space.
The look doesn't always have a vintage feel. In the newly renovated interior at Eleven Madison Park, plush booths and chairs have clean, modern lines.
Particularly in high-ceilinged interiors, this style of seating adds a sense of coziness even in the most elegant of settings. "Booths are always a good choice in a dining area, because they offer a sense of privacy and comfort while also encouraging conversation," says designer Sasha Bikoff, who incorporated booths and banquettes into her striking interiors for The Mess (which famously never opened its doors due to an untimely shutdown).
Material is just as important as the shape and size of these features. Designer fabrics in bold colors and patterns can function similarly to art, drawing the eye around a dining room. Right now, the trendiest choice is velvet, another retro element enjoying a renaissance. Monkey Club (opened in 2017) in Marbella, Spain, goes all out with sofas, chairs and bar seating in this soft material.
A post shared by Puente Romano Beach Resort (@puenteromanoresort)
DAROCO in Paris features an electric-blue velvet for dining room banquettes.
A post shared by DAROCO (@daroco_group)
Loulou at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs pairs low velvet banquettes with midcentury Eero Saarinen Tulip chairs.
A post shared by H8 Collection Hotel Group (@h8collection)
"Velvet has made a return to the design scene, because although it's such an unmistakably bold fabric, it's also incredibly versatile. Velvet, like booths, is not a traditional [look], but it's not so wild and unassuming that it's not approachable," Bikoff says.
In other words, in a world where everyone chases the new and novel, the biggest rebellion might just be to embrace the old.

Top 10 Oldest Ancient Artifacts That Ever Found
For many people who seek adventures and suspense, the work of archaeologists is always something amusing. They search to find out how we were, how we used to dress and what tools we used to eat, work and write. I have looked for the oldest and most essential tools that are very ordinary for us today in the time when they were considered an invention, and the next list is the result.
10 Jewelry
Thousands of years ago people were just wearing jewelry just like we do today though with different styles of course. The first jewelry worn goes back to thousands years ago. The BBC once made a report around Skhul Cave in Israel where the signs of first jewelry were found. There indications for the first beads in the world were discovered.
9 Painting Materials
The painting materials used to be manufactured 40.000 years ago. Investigators found a number of containers made of abonde shells along with painting materials in order to get them ready for use. It seemed like our ancestors did not choose the material to draw on that they could not live for so long.
8 Geographical Maps
The first map in the history of mankind was discovered in 1993 and it dates back to 140.000 years ago. Researchers found it extremely difficult to understand what it says that it took them about fifteen years to understand. In the end, it came out that the map, found in Spain, was describing the surrounding area with its animals, greeneries and prominent landmarks around.
The oldest shoe in the world is 5500 years old. It was found in Armenia in a good health. Though leather do not live for a long time, this shoe stood the test of time and what an amount of time! The wearer seemed to have walked a lot but still the sole was in a good condition.
6 Bows
The oldest bow ages 8000 years old. It was found in Denmark and specifically in an area called Holmegaard. They as a result got the name of the place where they were found. Most early bows were made of pine and this is the reason behind their decay.
The wooden wheel is like the famous proverb whom you do not know who said it. Many artifacts by famous inventors did not spread all around the world like the wheel but we do not know who was the first person who made it. In Ljubljana, the oldest wheel was found that dates back to 5200 years ago.
4 Observatory
The Goseck Circle is the observatory that ages 7000 years old discovered in Germany. It was thought that back in this time people were only taking care of the land and their sheep and following rain. But here it is a very sophisticated and scientific tool that is about 220 feet wide.
3 Brewing
Alcoholism is an old habit that dates back to ancient China 9000 years ago. Chemist Patrick McGovern was the first to delve in this issue to find out the recipe of of the first vintage known to man. When he managed to get good results he made a deal with a famous company in Pennsylvania to commercialize his discoveries.
2 The Mayan Calender
10.000 years ago the Mayan nation have etched the first calender on a ground. It was like simulating the different phases of the moon through making pits on the ground. The twelve pits made there stood as the first calender in the world of human beings. The photo below is a model of the ground inscription.
1 Sibudu Cave
In South Africa, the Sibdu Cave was discovered to give us a detailed view for how our ancestors lived. Many hardware and household tools were found inside the cave that were used for cooking and some handwork.

Japan's Yusaku Maezawa is building a collection of Basquiats and other masterpieces. The soaring value of his fashion portal vividly illustrates how investors are enchanted by the tech industry's fast growth and fat margins. It also means he can afford to paint the town red.
Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa bought a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting for $111 million on May 18, the second-highest price ever paid for a contemporary work of art. The sale was part of a Sotheby's auction that brought in a total $319 million.
Maezawa, the founder of Tokyo-listed Start Today, paid nearly double the $60 million pre-sale estimate for the untitled 1982 artwork. A year earlier, he bought another work by the same artist in a Christie's auction for $57.3 million.
Maezawa owns almost 38 percent of Start Today, which has a market capitalisation of about $7.7 billion based on its outstanding share count. Eikon data shows he has gradually cut the number of shares he holds by almost half since 2007.

When starting a business, health benefits administration and paperwork is the last thing a business owner wants to worry about. The cost and time required to manage traditional health benefits is a major barrier for startups.
Which is why for startups and other small businesses, an online pure defined contribution health benefits approach is the best solution. Defined contribution removes the barrier to health benefits, and solves a lot of the normal headaches associated with health benefits. Why? Because with defined contribution the business is in complete control of their budget and it eliminates the need for paperwork. All of these save the startup significant time and money.
What should you look for as you evaluate online defined contribution administration platforms (aka defined contribution software)? Here are five things to consider when determining which platform is right for your startup.
1. Does it have all of the features needed to make the administration process run smoothly, and quickly?
What are the different plan design options?
Can we set up different classes or allowances by type of employee?
Do you integrate with our existing payroll system?
How long does it take for employees' reimbursement requests to be reviewed and approved?
2. Is administration really 100% paperless?
Is the plan set up paperless? How long does it take to set up the plan and generate the Plan Documents?
How often can I change my plan? If I change my plan, is that process paperless?
Can employees submit reimbursement requests completely online? Can they upload electronic supporting documentation?
3. Will the platform help educate employees on their health benefits?
Do you provide a custom tool kit to help educate and onboard employees?
What resources do employees receive, or have access to online?
Do employees have their own online portal?
4. How much does the defined contribution administration cost?
Is there an annual renewal fee?
5. Will our data be secure?
What safeguards do you have in place to ensure HIPAA, ERISA, SAS, IRS, and ACA compliance?

Shaggy Reveals He Turned Down Rihanna's Invitation To Be On Her New Album Because She Asked Him To Audition
by DaniJanuary 11th, 2020
#Roommates, we know the Navy is growing more impatient by the day continuously waiting for Rihanna to drop her upcoming album, "R9." Riri is reportedly giving us a reggae-influenced album filled with some of the heavyweights in the genre—but that won't include dancehall legend Shaggy because he reportedly turned Rihanna down due to her surprising request.
@People magazine reports, Shaggy was approached by Rihanna to collaborate on "R9," which is reportedly finished, but hasn't been released—however, he turned her down because she reportedly wanted him to audition for a spot on the project. During a recent interview with a U.K. media outlet, Shaggy was asked about his involvement in the album and that's when he revealed what actually happened.
Shaggy explained things this way:
"They approached me for the Rihanna project, yeah. There's a lot of great people involved but for me I didn't need to audition to be on the record, I'll leave that to younger guys. But from what I hear, it should be good."
Shaggy made it clear that there are no hard feelings about the two not getting the chance to work together this time and also acknowledged that a star as big as Rihanna doing reggae is a great way for it to get even more exposure.
He stated:
"It's healthy competition. Dancehall is in good place, but we need as many people to do this art form as possible. When it crosses over and becomes popular with artists from other genres and other cultures, that can only be good."
Rihanna left fans devastated when she didn't release the highly-anticipated album by the end of the year as she promised—and as of now, no new release date has been announced.
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?

Well, it's been a long season, and it all comes to a close tomorrow (at least for Auburn, and maybe a few coaches and administrators). Over the past three months, we've taken a look back at the greatest games against each week's opponents. Some weeks the choices have been clear, and some weeks there have been many games that could have been chosen. Obviously, the Iron Bowl has produced a plethora of great games, some of the greatest in college football history. Although you could consider games Auburn lost as being "great games," that's not what we do here. In order for a game to make this list, Auburn must have won. Any victory over the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa is a great game, but this week (as we've done the previous three weeks) we'll take a look back at the great wins that carried the most significance in the face of the strongest opposition. Sure, games such as the 1957 40-0 shutout victory to clinch a national title were huge, but unranked UAT and the lopsided margin were reasons enough to leave it off the list. While Saturday's result may not be what we are hoping for, this week's list should at least take you back to some happier times.
Looking to clinch their first berth in the SEC Championship Game, the No. 13-ranked Auburn Tigers entered the game as the heavy favorite over unranked Alabama. But the Tide came ready to play and jumped on the Tigers, even holding a 17-6 lead entering the fourth quarter. Auburn quarterback Dameyune Craig led the Tigers on two scoring drives in the final quarter, one a touchdown and the other a Jaret Holmes field goal, but the Tigers still trailed 17-15 with less than one minute remaining due to a failed two-point conversion. However, with the ball and a shot to run out the clock, the Tide elected to throw a screen pass rather than run the ball and the decision proved to be costly. As UAT quarterback Freddie Kitchens completed a pass to running back Ed Scissum, Martavious Houston put a helmet right on the ball, jarring it loose and Quinton Reese recovered the ball for the Tigers. With 15 seconds remaining, Holmes nailed the 39-yard field goal to send the Tigers to the SEC title game.
In what was probably the most epic atmosphere in Jordan-Hare Stadium history, the Tigers hosted the Tide in Auburn for the first time in series history. Although the Tide led 10-7 at the half, the Tigers dominated the second half to down the No. 2-ranked Tide. The Tide pulled out all the stops in the game, faking a field goal and going for it multiple times on fourth down, but the Tigers and the Tiger faithful proved to be too much. The Auburn defense held the Tide to just 87 yards on the ground, while Tiger tailback Stacy Danley racked up 130 yards on 28 carries. With the victory, the Tigers secured their third consecutive SEC title.
Carrying a nine-game win streak in the series, the Tide came into Legion Field confident of increasing the streak to 10 and sending head coach Paul Bryant out on top. A freshman from McCalla named Vincent Edward Jackson had other ideas. Leading 22-15 with just minutes remaining, the Tide looked poised to take another victory in the series, but the Tigers had possession. The Tigers running game drove Auburn deep into Bama territory before the Tide defense held strong near the goal line. Facing a fourth-and-goal, the Tigers went to Jackson, and Jackson went up and over the Tide defense, giving us the famed "Bo Over the Top." Just two months later, Bryant died and the series has never been the same. Since the famed play, the Tigers lead the series 17-13.
While the old-timers may argue this is the greatest game, it lacked one component: national title implications for the Tigers. The 14-point favorite Tide, who was also ranked No. 2 in the nation, dominated the game early, leading 16-0 with just 10 minutes remaining. But the Auburn special teams took over from there. The Tigers posted their first score of the game on a field goal with nine minutes remaining before Bill Newton and David Langner went to work. On the ensuing possession, the Tigers' defense stood tall and forced the Tide to punt. The punt was blocked by Newton and Langner returned it 25 yards for the score. On the Tide's next possession, the Tigers once again stopped UAT and forced the punt. Once again, Newton blocked the punt and Langner returned it for the score. With one last hope of winning the game, the Tide drive down the field, but the drive was stalled when Langner picked off a pass to secure one of the greatest comebacks in college football history.
Despite entering the game 11-0 and No. 2 in the nation, Auburn visited the defending champion Crimson Tide as the underdogs. With a national title opportunity in sight, it was the Tide, not the Tigers, who looked like the national title team early in the game. In the first quarter, it was all Tide. Alabama opened with a 9-yard touchdown run by Mark Ingram before adding two more touchdowns on a 68-yard pass from Greg McElroy to Julio Jones and a 12-yard pass from McElroy to Darius Hanks. In the second quarter, the Tide was on the cusp of putting the game out of reach before Antoine Carter ran down Ingram following a 60-yard screen pass and punched the ball loose. The ball miraculously hugged the sideline and squirted into the end zone before it was recovered by Auburn's Demond Washington. The Tigers failed to produce on the ensuing drive, and Alabama added three points on a Jeremy Shelley field goal after Tide running back Trent Richardson dropped a wide-open screen pass on the goal line. Down 24-0, the Tigers refused to be shut out and quarterback Cam Newton connected with Emory Blake on the following drive from 36 yards out to close the gap to 24-7. The Tigers didn't manage much the rest of the half except for a crucial play by Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley when he knocked the ball loose from McElroy and recovered the fumble. The second half, however, was all Tigers. On the second play from scrimmage, Newton hooked up with Terrell Zachery from 70 yards out to cut the lead to 24-14. After holding the Tide, Newton got back into the end zone on a 1-yard dive to pull the game to 24-21. Shelly added his second field goal of the game on a 32-yard kick, but it would be the last time the Tide would light up the scoreboard. With just less than 12 minutes remaining in the game, Newton sidestepped a Bama lineman and connected with Philip Lutzenkirchen from 7 yards out to give Auburn its first lead of the night, 28-27. It would be all the Tigers needed. Tiger defensive back T'Sharvan Bell sacked McElroy late in the game, sending the Tide quarterback to the sideline with a concussion and thus ending all hope of a Tide comeback. The Tigers went on to trounce South Carolina in the SEC Championship Game before completing the dream in Glendale, Ariz., by downing Oregon on a last-second Wes Byrum field goal to capture the BCS National Championship.
In what was simply known as the "Sack Brodie Sack" game, the No. 11 Tigers sacked Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle a record 11 times en route to the dominating victory over the No. 8 Tide.
With running backs Carnell "Cadillac" Williams and Ronnie Brown out due to injuries, the Tigers turned to little man Tre Smith, who churched out 126 yards on 25 carries. Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell connected with tight end Robert Johnson twice for touchdowns to secure the victory over the No. 9-ranked and double-digit favorite Crimson Tide. The victory was the first of six in a row.
In one of my favorite victories as a child, the Tigers "Reversed the Tide" when Lawyer Tillman's failed timeout call proved to be crucial as Tillman took the reverse handoff from Tim Jesse and scampered 15 yards for the comeback victory over Alabama with less than 30 seconds remaining.
In a low-scoring matchup between the No. 9-ranked Tigers and the No. 6-ranked Tide, the Tigers denied the Tide a chance at a national title game with the victory in Birmingham's Legion Field.
In an unusual February game, the Tigers took the first ever matchup in the series to begin what is nationally known as the greatest rivalry in all sports.
I wonder what the dividing age line for people's No. 1 game between '72, '89 and '10. I would think Scoop would fall in the age group to put 1989 higher, but he must be younger than I thought. Is he not in his 40's?
proud to say I was at 4 of the top 5 games (didn't try to get to the 28-27 National championship play-in game, although I DID watch it last night – and 82 also) Was also at all the Honorable mentions but '1893 and "63….
An honorable mention has to go to 1983, because that game really solidified the "change in the relationship between the two schools" (as Keith Jackson kept stating during the broadcast) that was started with Bo over the top.

The multifunctional exoribonuclease protein PNPase is implicated as a potential target for cancer therapy as well as causing mitochondrial disorders in humans, but there has yet to be a whole animal knockdown model created. In this study, C. elegans was used to investigate the effect of knocking down pnpt-1, the gene that encodes PNPase. It was discovered that pnpt-1 knockdown significantly extends lifespan via an increase in superoxide production similar to other known mitochondrial lifespan extension pathways. Additionally, mitochondrial networks, size and respiration are affected indication of other mitochondrial dysfunction..
PNPase is also known to transport small RNAs into the mitochondria which in turn can affect mitochondria RNA splicing and translation of proteins involved in respiration. Further investigation showed a significant accumulation of polycistronic mitochondrial transcripts in knockdown animals. Lastly, this model has shown that PNPase knockdown is functionally comparable across species and is a viable model for future studies.

Knockouts remain undefeated, Vixens notch first victory of the season
May 14, 2019 KC Carr	Leave a comment
Last weekend's bouts at Memorial Hall gave Kansas City roller derby fans more to cheer about, and while one of the evening's games ended a bit predictably, one certainly didn't, keeping things fresh as the march to the Rink of Fire continues.
It's never a good idea to count anyone out, but the way this season has progressed so far, almost no one expects the Knockouts to start dropping games now. This year's Black Eye Susans are pretty scrappy and formidable, but the Glitter Mafia has been pretty unstoppable, bringing home five wins in five games by an average of 54 points per game. Last Saturday night was no exception as they took the win over the Susans 205-134 in the second bout of the evening.
The real story, of course, was the resurgent Victory Vixens who, up to this point in the season, hadn't brought home a win all year. It wasn't for a lack of trying — they even gave the Knockouts a solid run for their money in Game 2 back in February — but somehow, victory managed to elude these Vixens consistently until Game 5 two Saturdays ago when they pulled out a stunner against a Dreadnought Dorothys team many people were expecting to make a Rink of Fire appearance again this year.
They may still; both they and the Susans sit at 2-3 on the season, and they don't face each other again for the rest of the year, so depending on what happens next month in Game 6, the league may have to do some number crunching to determine which team makes a championship run alongside the Knockouts.
With that in mind, the Vixens' 147-140 win over the Dorothys last weekend may have marked a turning point in the season for more than just the Red, White, and Blue.
Regardless of where the teams land, it was nice to celebrate a win with the Vixens.
KCRW's next bout is on June 22, and of course, we'll remind you of that as the date draws near. Stay tuned to KC Derby Digest for more info on the incredible 2019 season!

Featured Skater – February 2019
Our Featured Skater for the month of February is
Dizzy Aster of the Kansas City Roller Warriors!
Name: Dizzy Aster
Team: Victory Vixens
Position: Jammer, Blocker, Pivot
Where did your roller derby career begin, and how did you discover the sport?
"A few years ago I was having a mini freakout about my upcoming 30th birthday (which yes, seems so silly now), and I was like, "I need to do something really cool RIGHT NOW before I'm TOO OLD!" (See? So silly.)
I don't remember what exactly made me think of roller derby. I do remember that I was determined to do the coolest thing I could think of, and that thing was roller derby. Shortly after that, I was somewhat serendipitously introduced to two skaters from Topeka. They convinced me to go to practice with them, and just like that, I became a skater for the Capital City Crushers. I was a Crusher for three seasons before transferring to KCRW at the beginning of this season."
"I played team sports growing up, all the way up through high school, and then nothing through college and my 20s. I ran a lot and did the occasional rec softball, but nothing like roller derby. I forgot how much I LOVED being on a team. Camaraderie! Common goals! Friendship!
Speaking of friends, you know how they say it's hard to make new friends as an adult? Not with roller derby! Friends! Friends galore! It's very likely you'll find someone that's just your type of weirdo to be your friend. It's nice. Also, it's the most consistent working out I've done in my adult life. I can talk myself out of going to the gym, but I hate missing practice!"
Tell us the origin of your derby name.
"Dizzy Aster was gifted to me. I had something entirely different picked out, but didn't really love it. My friends Jake and Mary were expecting their first baby. Jake wanted to name it Dizzyaster. Mary said no, thank you. Jake said I should use it as my roller derby name. I said I would be honored. The baby's name is Maya. This is a true story."
What sets you apart in KCRW?
"Oh man, I don't know. I do hope people see that I take this very seriously, but also that I am having a seriously good time."
What makes Dizzy Aster tick? At the end of the day, what keeps you going in this crazy love we call roller derby?
"The "well it's now or never!" attitude that came with joining roller derby at 30 has stuck with me. We don't know what tomorrow holds. Might as well do something awesome now! I love roller derby so much, more than anything else I've ever done or tried. And I never felt like I was really good at anything before. This is my thing. I found it! I want to be really, really good at it. I want to see how far I can push it while I'm willing and able. That's why I transferred to KCRW.
Also, I'm very competitive. This is probably a healthier outlet for that than, say, competitive eating. Although I can eat an impressive amount of tacos!"

KCRW Game 2 Results
February 8, 2019 KC Carr	Leave a comment
So last weekend's Kansas City Roller Warriors bout on February 2… were you there?
It was the biggest crowd at Memorial Hall in quite some time, due in part to the Girl Scouts of NE Kansas/NW Missouri and in part to the Kansas City Junior Warriors and their families. That kind of crowd engagement is fuel for the derby fire, electrifying as it was, and our hope is that we can keep that kind of energy going the entire season.
The first bout of the night saw the Knockouts grab up another victory, this one against a Victory Vixens team that hasn't notched a win yet in 2019, but shouldn't be taken lightly. They gave the Dorothys quite a run last month, and this month, they only lost by 29 points, final score 289-260, which isn't a lot under this rule set.
The Knockouts probably are the team to beat again this season, but the Vixens are clearly one of the most dangerous teams on the track in KC. We'll be keeping an eye on them, and you should too.
The Juniors wowed the crowd with their first appearance of the season in an exhibition scrimmage, and then the Black Eye Susans faced off against a Dreadnought Dorothys team no one thought could drop this game.
Except… that they did.
The Dorothys held at least a slim lead most of the game — they were up 77-65 at halftime — but like the Vixens, the Susans just kept finding ways to fight back.
Unfortunately, a good portion of the crowd left at halftime, presumably since the night was running long due to the Juniors' scrimmage, and there were so many kiddos in attendance that night.
Let me tell you, they missed out.
With only 10 seconds left on the game clock, the Dorothys led 129-117 as (what everyone assumed would be) the last jam of the game commenced. As the game clock ran out, a Susans blocker clobbered the Dorothys jammer at the far apex, sending her down hard and triggering an injury time out.
Thankfully, the jammer was all right and left the track on her own. Under WFTDA rules, though, if a jam is called off at the discretion of an official — an injury time out, for instance — and there are fewer than 30 seconds left on the game clock, an additional jam may be run at the discretion of the head referee.
And that is what happened. By now, the Dorothys' lead was down to three, and the Susans had one last opportunity to take home the win.
The crowd went insane as the Susans' jammer took lead, fought halfway through the pack, and passed the star to the pivot, who barreled through for four points and called off the jam. The Black Eye Susans straight-up shoplifted the win from the Dreadnought Dorothys by a final score of 132-131 as the remaining crowd at Memorial Hall roared its approval.
I'm telling you… those Dorothys are something else, and the tenacity on the part of the Susans was unmatched Saturday night. If there was ever any doubt that this is one of the greatest shows in Kansas City, well, it's gone now.
Knockouts 2-0
Dreadnought Dorothys 1-1
Black Eye Susans 1-1
Victory Vixens 0-2
The Kansas City Roller Warriors' next event is on March 2. We'll have photos from last weekend's bout published as soon as we can. Keep an eye on our Smugmug album, and we'll probably post links here too.

KCRW Game 2 Preview
January 31, 2019 KC Carr	Leave a comment
This Saturday night at historic Memorial Hall in KCK, the Kansas City Roller Warriors storm the track for Game 2 of their 2019 season. It's guaranteed to be one of the biggest nights of the year, so make sure you're there to see it.
Several things set Game 2 apart, not the least of which is the planned mini-scrimmage by the Kansas City Junior Warriors taking place between Saturday night's bouts. If you've never been to a Juniors game, this is your chance to preview these young warriors on wheels prior their regular season bouts, which typically begin toward the end of summer. It's no stretch to say that many of these players represent the future of Kansas City roller derby, and we're excited to see them back on the track.
This weekend's KCRW bouts will feature the dominant Knockouts taking on the Victory Vixens. The Juniors scrimmage will follow, and the evening's action ends with the Black Eye Susans facing off against the Dreadnought Dorothys.
Doors open at 5:00 Saturday night. As always, there will be a 50/50 drawing, this month benefiting the Girl Scouts of NE Kansas and NW Missouri, many of whom will be on hand for the evening's festivities.
The concession stand will have $2 12-oz. beers on sale between 5:00 and 6:00, and LA's Cuisine will be serving up some of the best barbecue KC has to offer, including vegan and gluten-free options.
Adult tickets are $15, and kiddos ages 6-12 are only $10 each.
Join us trackside this Saturday night for the Kansas City Roller Warriors' Game 2!
