OT: Only one endzone to be used for NU/UI
I think the other endzone is more dangerous with that railing being just off the back right of the endzone. Player and fan injuries could ensue.
The setup allows players to score a touchdown and complete the famed Wrigley Leap in one continuous motion.
I cant believe people arent seeing this for what it is. This is the NCAA's answer to the NHL's "you pickem" All Star game promotion. Delany saw all the positive press hockey was getting for using schoolyard techniques for a modern game and wanted some of that for himself.
So obvious really.
This should not be any sort of surprise in the least. Someone had to saw, "let's play a game at Wrigley" and somebody else had to, I mean had to, say "ok, this is what it would look like, are you cool with this fit?". It would defy logic if that discussion did not take place. It would be like your builder finishing your house and then asking if it is ok that your living room now extends into your neighbor's garage so he could keep the square footage shown on the plan.
Are they going to do "laces or spaces" to determine who gets the ball first and who gets first pick?
Once you've delved into "loser walks" rules, is that really such a bad idea?
I call all-time quarterback. Is the rush going to be on three Mississippis or five?
Call your own penalties as well?
I don't know, but I do know that they're requiring blitzing guys to yell out "BLITZ" before they cross the line of scrimmage.
Yeah but they only get one blitz per a set of downs
Ah, the days of backyard football. Thanks for the laughs this morning guys. I can remember all that vividly.
Do they have to count to "five apple" before they can blitz?
We're counting apples, not Mississippis.
to Evanston. This is becoming a bad joke.
were you saying something?
I was a little distracted just then.
It's never a good sign when fears of an embarassing field situation causes you to consider moving a game TO Evanston.
Hey Nice Avatar. What's that article of clothing on her upper back??
Me likes!!!
I Randy Mossed the neighbor kid Timmy for the game winning TD. Man was this a good idea!
That makes it a little better but still. There shouldn't be a risk like this anyways.
did NOT think this out well at all. Why didn't they just put the field like it was back in the day when they did it? It looks like they switched the orientation of the field
With the added seats over the years, bringing the fans closer to the foul lines, it would have been just as tight a fit to do it that way (i.e., when the Bears played at Wrigley).
This is a colossal fuck-up on the part of all parties involved in planning this debacle. I suppose you have to give them some credit for realizing this today, and not, say, tomorrow, 15 minutes before kickoff. Actually, no, no credit is deserved. This is just an all-around fucking disaster .
Uhhhh... am I missing something? How the hell would that work?
Yeah, literally every time possession is changed, they will need to switch to the other side of the field. It just seems like more work than anything.
How does a pick 6 work? Run to the 50 and turn around and come back? That would at least be comical.
That's what I was thinking...
...that we'll see one of those highlights that will live forever in college football, where a guy picks up a fumble and returns it the wrong way?
Roy Riegels hopes those chances are good.
He thinks the same as Roy Riegals
A pick six or a punt return are not really concerns for running all the way out of the back of the endzone and hitting the wall. Basically they will just do like they do when the quarter ends, but do it on every change of possession.
for a free detector trial
Why do you think players run all those shuttle drills in practice?
Specifically to prepare for an instance in which administrative idiocy has nullified half the field.
There's not much danger in you running full steam into the back of the end zone on a pick six, so no you'd just run to the dangerzone in that instance.
Edit: this should be played whenever a team is heading in the wrong direction.
since there will be fans literally in the east endzone in folding chairs.
Now, Granny might get trucked, but that's a risk that just has to be taken.
If it's an airball,then you can just put it right back up and run into the house.
Are they playing "Make It, Take It" rules?
It could be like in video games where when you get a pick there is a slight pause while the screen flips. Only this way they pause and then position everyone exactly how they are on the other side of the field.
This could work.
You were not all the way to the 40!
Offensive possessions will all just go in the same direction. Fumble and interception returns are fine to use the Endzone of Death since they don't use the back of the endzone in any way.
is so named because Nick Sheridan visited it so often
Wow. I'm glad this all was planned out so well in, you know, advance.
What are you talking about?!?!?! It was planned out perfectly:
Priority #1: $ for Wrigley
Priority #2: $ for N'Western and Illinois
Priority #3: $ for the City of Chicago
Priority #4: $ for the buisinesses in Wrigleyville
Priority #5: Integrity for the NCAA and Big 10
Priority #6: Football
Agree with your analysis of the thought process. Somewhere along the line, the basic background work wasn't done ..."hmmm it's been a long time since FB has been played there and with all of our rules about distances and separation I wonder how we should configure the field inside the stadium. Let's get a set of plans, a ruler, and do some drawings and see if it is even doable."
This is not a proud moment for Northwestern, Illinois or the Big Ten bureaucracy...basically no one checked! Everyone assumed someone else had done the background work.
Would this be a "legal" game by the rules of FB? If the field isn't regulation for play - and this sort of swapping back and forth seem very irregular, would the game count? Have there been HS or other college games where one part of the field was crappy (e.g. standing water) and so both teams played towards the opposite end. Anyone know of any other examples of this?
The closest I can come to answering that question is Rule 1-2-8-b: "Any markers or obstructions within the playing enclosure but outside the limit lines constituting a hazard shall be reported to game management by the referee. Final determination of corrective action shall be the responsibility of game management." That last sentence almost gives a blank check to "game management" (the Big Ten office) to come up with a solution.
In the end, though, that's pretty weak. There are several game rules that will be violated during this game, and the rule book states that "game conduct rules" (including allowing teams to choose their direction after the coin flip, and mandating switching sides at the end of a quarter) may not be altered. I think that if I were an official assigned to the game, I would try very hard to decline the assignment. It's a lose-lose situation.
Both teams have a very good argument that this isn't a "real" NCAA football game, because the officials have been instructed not to follow the NCAA football rules.
You ask how this happened. It's obvious--somebody measured the field and said, "no problem--we have 120 yards. That's all we need."
OMG this is beyond funny. I'm going to be at the game on Saturday but rest assured the NU game is going to getting DVR'd in my house. WTF are they going to do on turnovers? Blow the whistle mid-play or just have everyone turn around once they hit the 50?
Sounds like a halfcourt basketball game to me.
It really is amazing no one saw this coming but it seems like a good solution. I think they are avoiding red zone possessions where you get passes in the corners and back of the endzone where that wall would be a problem. Any significant turnover return would probably be fine since the back of the endzone wouldn't come into play.
It will be very weird to see each offense going the same direction all game.
would beg to differ.
And to be fair, at halftime the fans from the West endzone should have to switch seats with the fans from the East endzone.
It's too bad they made such a giant cluster of this event. Way to go planning committee!
Incidentally, I like your avatar
I'm beginning to think they didn't plan this out very well. Their approximate thought process, "Let's make sure the field fits in as tight as possible. We don't want any of that space going to waste."
Followed by, "What's that about player safety? Don't worry, they were pads don't they?"
Da Bears actually played several seasons at Wrigley! It was back in the 1960's. I remember that some pretty good Bears teams, featuring Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers, played games at Wrigley. Did they change some part of the configuration there? Or did the NFL just not care so much back then?
so it must have been easier for them to stop. :)
Bears' field ran from North to South; the N'W/Illini field runs East to West.
I think they had to change it because of additions to the bleachers that come in further than it did in 1970.
Probably for the best, but man this whole thing has become such an embarrassing debacle.
This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in college football planning. Whoever lead this planning from each side should be fired. Its ridiculous and both athletic departments should be embarrassed. I'd be flipping out if Michigan were involved in this joke of a situation.
I would not want that level of incompetence working for me or my school.
It's just plain sad.
Too bad no one knew the level of incompetence within our compliance department before it was too late.
FU compliance department and Alex Herron...
You do know that the definition of an "embarrassing debacle" is when YOU or someone you care about screws up badly. I think this falls more into the category of hillarious FUBAR.
I wonder if the brainiacs who came up with this whole thing are still employed??
Reese Bobby had a hand in it.
+1 for the avatar. Miss him something terrible.
i'll be all-time QB!
Ha! Awesome. I forgot that phrase. All time q.
They should just make it like middle school when we only had half a court to play basketball on with takebacks. Those were the days.
They should make each yard 2.8 feet. That would add to the back of the end zone a total of . . . Mathlete? Little help here?
They could just use 1/2 of the field and play 7-on-7 instead.
This makes playing a basketball game on the deck of an aircraft carrier look like a model of conservative prudence.
This makes that stupid bowl in SF (Poinsettia) where the 2 teams share a sideline seem like a cool idea.
It might even be worse:
As a result of a coin toss held by the conference office Friday morning, Illinois will occupy the west team bench in the first half and Northwestern will occupy the west team bench in the second half and for all overtime periods.
The teams have to switch which side of the field they stand on? What a joke.
have to switch something I guess. At least the coaches get to share each other's spittle on the microphones for the headsets.
they're also sharing sideline space. they talk about the "west team bench" (which they will switch at halftime) and east / west endzones, i think that means they'll be on the same side.
didn't the lions and their opponents share sidelines when they played at tiger stadium? or was it when the bears played in milwaukee in the 70s?
It was Milwaukee where they shared the same sideline. I'm pretty sure that continued all the way up until they stopped playing games in Milwaukee after the 1994 season.
(can't edit the original, for some reason)
yes. the packers in milwaukee, not the bears. obviously.
You're thinking of the Emerald Bowl. The Poinsettia bowl is in San Diego
Big Ten commissioner James E. Delany said in the statement. "Both Illinois and Northwestern did significant due diligence over the past 18 months, but after seeing the actual layout of the field, all parties felt that it was appropriate to adjust the rules to further enhance the safety of our student-athletes. Wrigley Field is one of the most historic venues in the country, and playing the Illinois-Northwestern game at this facility will provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for student-athletes, coaches and fans."
I'll say. It's a once-in-a-lifetime clusterfuck. Like, say, the Chicago Cubs. Another in the century-long comedy of errors that is Northwestern football and Wrigley Field. Personally, I think that they should put a couple of kegs on the field, get the players to go shirts-and-skins, and play 7-on-7 flag football. Northwestern football fans are unlikely to know the difference. Illinois fans are unlikely to care. Cubs fans will be happy to see some guys finally making some decent throws.
Costanza's "opposite" rule would have worked instead of 18 months of "due dilligence."
What I think is interesting is that neither team will be at an advantage or disadvantage due to the wind, particularly in the kicking game. Plus, with both teams on the same sideline this is going to look like a weird pick-up game but with better equipment.
It's not indoors.
No decorating.
Is it "4-Mississippi" on the rush, too? One blitz every four downs?
Two completions for a first down
...from darth delaney's statement:
"Both Illinois and Northwestern did significant due diligence over the past 18 months,"
really, jim? do you really believe that? really?
this had better show up in "this week in schadenfreude," that's all i have to say.
Damn computer...
They did plenty of due diligence. They confirmed the neutral site game would pay more than a home game AND someone told them a field would fit--after all, it fit 60 years ago or whenever a game was last played there.
...for when he has to throw off.
Landmines and fire pits to the field a la Mutant League Football
what a great game that was. Shoving guys off into space after the whistle, trick plays featuring real bombs, and of course killing the ref after he's been bribed by the other team. Now I've got to go dig that game out.
The fans in the east endzone are going to be treated like the UM fans in the prison-high school seating bleachers at Purdue.
Now this has become truly odd! This venu was obviously a bad idea, and it makes the Big Ten look awful for allowing it.
Look at all of the coverage surrounding this game (articles, GameDay), when if they played in Evanston, nobody would care.
The Game Day part is the best part, in my opinion. Not only is this a disaster, it's a disaster that's receiving a ton of attention.
in the "At what time do Kirk & Chris switch places" pool
I agree, College Gameday wouldn't have come within 100 miles of NU/UI if this game was played in Evanston. I am intrigued because this will be the first time in my life I get to see football played at one of the most historic venues in sports history. I'm not going to lie I'll be watching at 330 and the game at yankee stadium later on
With all the time NW had to plan this game, how do you mess it up?
The Illinois team is probably saying WTF?
....i didn't go to northwestern for architecture school, like i almost did.
has anyone ever taken a tape measure to dyche field, to see if it's actually 100 yards long?
"If you run past the trash can and the light pole you're out of bounds"
Milk and cookies and Nate's house at halftime. Maybe some video games is Nate's Mom isn't there.
Upcoming press release from ESPN: "College Gameday to air3 1/2 hour feature on poor planning Saturday at 3:30 ET."
There is a way to fit a full field into Wrigley. It's been done. On many occasions. Yet they decided to try to jam the field in on this orientation instead. Awesome. At least it's becoming must see TV with these bizarre decisions on layout and rules.
There is a way to fit a full field into Wrigley. It's been done. On many occasions.
No, there isn't.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Wrigley has added seats and moved the stands in closer to the foul line since the last time they hosted a football game. So yeah, Wrigley used to be able to fit a football field, but it's obviously too small now.
You are correct.
I still think it's a cool idea to play at Wrigley field. Yes, it's lame that they have to change sides of the field with each change of possession, but whatever. It's better that than to have a player injured by RUNNING INTO A WALL. (Remember that Houston player who broke his leg on the cart positioned too close to the field? Wall > cart.) It's much, much better that they are being safe, and if I were a player I'd be perfectly fine only playing offense one way if I had a chance to play in a unique environment like Wrigley field.
And yes, for people who are asking how it will work, they are going to have teams change sides of the field for each change of possession:
All offensive plays will head toward the west end zone, including all extra points and all overtime possessions.
So wow, everyone relax and just enjoy the game for what it is - a fun game in a unique setting, where people are trying to keep the kids safe.
There is no way this can work. What do they do if a fumble or INT is going to be taken for a score?
The returner won't be going full speed or getting hit out of the back in the endzone, so there's no risk of injury there.
I never really noticed it before, but Tecmo Bowl and Ninja Gaiden clearly used the same musical composer.
'Make it,take it" will also be in full effect
from the Big Ten:
"Ok guys, we'll use the big Oak tree as that endzone and how about the storm drain for this endzone. Safety on ball!"
at least they are doing something in the interest of the players for once
honestly, did no one look at a blue print or a layout of the field until they put it in place?
i can't believe anyone approved that in the first place
Although, there might be a marketing genius behind this. How else are you going to get the the nation to watch Illinois/Northwestern. ZZzzzz. If it's on, I'm gonna tune in for a few series for the laughs.
It has been proven beyond a doubt that we are smarter than Northwestern.
flag football or 7 on 7 and get it over with.
What a joke....that, or like others have said: make the field 10-15% smaller.
Rest in peace, Harry Carey.
The game should have been Minnesota-Indiana and then they would only need zero endzones.
The only thing that would make this more of a disaster (read: even more hilarious) would be if it rained on Saturday and they had to deal with a mud pit on an uncrowned field.
I hadn't seen this one commented on, but it raises an interesting problem:
• All offensive plays will head toward the west end zone, including all extra points and all overtime possessions.
So, yeah. On a defensive touchdown, they will have to go all the way to the other end of the field just to kick the extra point.
• All kickoffs will be kicked toward the east end zone.
Losers walk!
This is bad news. I was really looking forward to watching players fly into the padded wall, Arena Football (or American Gladiators) style.
I can't wait to watch this game and all the hilarity that is sure to ensue. Great planning.They really thought this one out for sure.
Every year I run into the same issues as the folks that set up Wrigley Field. In my backyard I'm a little short in yardage as well, so I just go straight from the 20-yard line to the 50. No big deal, and really , few people even notice because they're mesmerized by the lights. Having attended many, many games over the years, without question there are plenty of people attending the game tomorrow that wouldn't even notice if the 30 and the 40 yard lines were missing.
For the math wizards, its 1/2-scale. **Note: with 40-yards "removed" from the middle of the field, of course.
And yes, this was before the block M was painted on. My neighbors here in OH love me.
phenomenal set-up. I am seething with jealousy.
I'm now a lot more interested in watching this game than I was before. Seriously. (It would kind of suck to have tickets in the "no-offense" endzone, though.)
If I were in the east endzone, I'd be trying to trade up on my tickets.
That's pretty embarrassing.
To be honest, I thought the subject line of this post meant that in overtime ("OT"), they would use only one endzone -- that is, they wouldn't switch sides.
Just read the ESPN article though for the correct reading. This is really, really strange. But it has to be the right choice given the safety concerns. Although, I wonder how much it would have cost for the single game to change the physical infrastructure enough to give some space behind the end zone?
And, as others have pointed out, it's not like the endzone they are using is actually so safe...
I would hate to be the people who sit in the endzone that is blocked off. The action will be going away from them the whole game.
Looks safe to me.
Brian Kelly
By the way, what I really love about this game is that it has totally obscured Notre Dame's game at Yankee Stadium tomorrow. That game has been completely forgotten by most people.
I think part of that is due to the fact that Wrigley is historic and Yankee Stadium is not. The other part is that Notre Dame sucks.
The decision to play only one direction really pisses me off. I was planning to watch this game just because I thought the wall of death would add an interesting strategic element. Now it is just another boring game that I will ignore. Shame on whoever planned this and then chickened out. It's not like this wasn't understood from the beginning. The stadium did not shrink. Pussies.
Actually, the playing surface has shrunk since the last time football was played at Wrigley. The bleachers now extend forward further than they used to - which is what created the whole problem.
All I know is it's going to be really hard for the NU kids to lake the posts. Traffic on Addison is murder around game time and it's a much longer walk to the beach. Plus somebody could get hurt when they try to pass them over the bleacher wall onto Sheffield.
Its 2 completions for a 1st down, right?
Ok, with like 150 comments, I'm certainly not gonna add anything new. But I just got home from a long, long day and saw this news about using only one endzone. It got my blood boiling, so I felt the need to rant.
This fucking bullshit must stop. Playing in unique locations to make a buck, or whatever other dumbass reason they can come up with. Does anyone wanna see, say, UM/MSU at Comerica Park? FUCK NO. This UI/NU thing is just DUMB. Wrigley Field Capacity = 41160. NU Stadium = 47130. The travel distance is negligible. Why the hell did NU agree to this??? What new version of crack has come out that people smoked and came up with this dumbfuck idea??? And now..... because of pure idiocy on the part of everyone involved.... they have to CHANGE THE FUCKING RULES OF FOOTBALL in order to play the game there!!! How goddamn dumb is this????? How long, in the interest of making a fucking extra buck, will it be before they decide to have season-opening games played in.... oh, i dunno.... Dubai?? (Although, for some reason, I must say this sounds like something Notre Dame would agree to.)
This dumbassitude makes me want to tear my fingernails out one by one. AaaaaaahhhH!!!!!!
Ok, rant done. Thanks for reading.
Oh wait...

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Workers have installed the final piece of track on a roller coaster set to open this spring at Kings Island theme park in southwest Ohio.
Park officials said the remaining piece was put in place Thursday morning.
The $24 million "Banshee" coaster is described by the park as the world's longest inverted steel roller coaster. It will cover 4,124 feet of track and include seven inversions. The coaster will reach speeds of up to 68 mph over the two-minute, 40-second ride.
The latest attraction, slated to open April 18, occupies the area where the ill-fated Son of Beast roller coaster once stood.
The Son of Beast was billed as the world's tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster. Plagued by shutdowns and injuries, it was closed and taken apart in 2012.

AFP Reporters Forced To Fact-Check Wikipedia, Facebook
from the isn't-that-part-of-the-job? dept
Fortunately, the AFP realizes that fact-checking is an important part of its journalistic mission, but it seems a bit disappointing that this basic principle of responsible news reporting needs to be re-affirmed for "new media" sources. Then again, there will always be mistakes in any kind of research, so the real lesson here may be that there is an equally important basic principle of reading the news: "Don't believe everything you read."

Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif Daughter Rabia imran Bakery Scandal CCTV Footagehas exposed tomorrow and through this CCTV footage a power show came into front in which Shahbaz Sharif's daughter beat a bakery employee by guard and Allied Force Police.
It is very much clear in the footage below that the Rabia Iman who is wife of Imran wants to enter a bakery at around 12:00 PM but at that time the bakery was closed as its opening time is 3:00 Pm.
Than with the help of her guard Rabia opened bakery by force and she wants to but some bakery item according to some news it was a cake. Person inside the bakery says that bakery is closed at this time and we cannot sell anything at that time but Rabia Imran start abusing language with the employee and warned him many times as this all was clear in the footage.
After all that Rabia leave bakery and than later on around 6:00 PM Rabia Imran's guard and Allied force Police with a Vigo escorted bakery employee outside the bakery. Than the bakery Employee is beaten like an animal. Now where is the Human Rights organizations, Laws are just for the poor people? See the footage below

Regular price: $24.95
Author, Mark Sinnett, uses a unique tactic of volleying the narrative between Ray Townes and his wife, Mary, to spell out an emotional tale of disaster. Performed by veteran narrator Nick Hahn, with a gentle baritone timbre, The Carnivore retells of the time Hurricane Hazel ripped through Toronto, in the middle of October in 1954. Ray was remembered all over town for his heroic efforts that night. As Ray and Mary are forced to look back on what happened that fateful night, however, a small flicker of doubt that has been whipping around inside Mary is finally realized and it's a truth that might destroy both of them.
When Hurricane Hazel tore through Toronto on October 15, 1954, it left its mark on both the city and its inhabitants. In the aftermath, a young cop named Ray Townes emerges as a hero - numerous accounts detail the way he battled the raging Humber River to save those trapped in their homes - and his story is featured prominently in the newspapers, thrusting him into the spotlight as a local celebrity. Meanwhile, his wife Mary is wrestling with doubts about her husband's heroism.
While performing her own miracles the night of the storm as a nurse at a mud-filled, overcrowded emergency room, Mary met a woman - disoriented and near death - with a disturbingly peculiar recollection of events. While Mary tries to shake her suspicions about Ray as they rebuild their life in the shell-shocked city, she can't help but wonder about her husband and that fateful night.
When a reporter comes knocking 50 years later to revisit that horrendous night, the truth begins to surface and threatens to destroy them.

You can change the level of transparency (actually it is 'fake' transparency) of the menu or the toolbar by right clicking to bring up the fluxbox menu then
Menu>Fluxbox>Configure>Transparency>Menu Alpha
You can click on the value there to adust it. "0" is fully transparent, "255" is solid. Values in between have varying levels of transparency.
If you find that the menu's transparency does not take effect immediately, try restarting fluxbox.

Processors and the Limits of Physics 168
An anonymous reader writes: As our CPU cores have packed more and more transistors into increasingly tiny spaces, we've run into problems with power, heat, and diminishing returns. Chip manufacturers have been working around these problems, but at some point, we're going to run into hard physical limits that we can't sidestep. Igor Markov from the University of Michigan has published a paper in Nature (abstract) laying out the limits we'll soon have to face. "Markov focuses on two issues he sees as the largest limits: energy and communication. The power consumption issue comes from the fact that the amount of energy used by existing circuit technology does not shrink in a way that's proportional to their shrinking physical dimensions. The primary result of this issue has been that lots of effort has been put into making sure that parts of the chip get shut down when they're not in use. But at the rate this is happening, the majority of a chip will have to be kept inactive at any given time, creating what Markov terms 'dark silicon.' Power use is proportional to the chip's operating voltage, and transistors simply cannot operate below a 200 milli-Volt level. ... The energy use issue is related to communication, in that most of the physical volume of a chip, and most of its energy consumption, is spent getting different areas to communicate with each other or with the rest of the computer. Here, we really are pushing physical limits. Even if signals in the chip were moving at the speed of light, a chip running above 5GHz wouldn't be able to transmit information from one side of the chip to the other."

When Mike Newell set out to direct yet another movie based on Charles Dickens' classic novel "Great Expectations," he did something very clever to insure market appeal for his project: He reassembled the troops from the Harry Potter films to head the cast.
Not all of them of course. Just Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham, Ralph Fiennes as the convict Magwitch and Robbie Coltrane as Jaggers the attorney. Newell, who directed "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," added two appealing young actors: Jeremy Irvine of "War Horse" as Pip, and fiery redhead Holliday Grainger as his emotionally unreceptive heartthrob Estella.
Newell's "Great Expectations" won't pose any threats to David Lean's definitive 1946 adaptation, but it marks an improvement over the 1998 Ethan Hawke/Gwyneth Paltrow remake directed by Alfonso Cuarón, coincidentally another "Harry Potter" director (of the excellent "Prisoner of Azkaban").
Screenwriter David Nicholls wisely dumps Pip's personal perspective from the book and, with John Mathieson's superb widescreen cinematography, opens up the narrative as we trace how a poor, working-class lad named Pip, trained to be a blacksmith, evolves into a high-society gentleman, thanks to a mystery sponsor.
Irvine brings appealing apprehension and hope to the struggling Pip. Grainger does not need key lighting to make her presence pop on the silver screen. Fiennes infuses Magwitch with villainy first, empathy later.
Then comes Carter with the movie's showcase performance as a mentally disturbed lady, now slogging around her mansion in her wedding gown, looking as if it hasn't been cleaned since the day her would-be groom dumped her at the altar years earlier.
Hers is a wonderful rendering of Miss Havisham, equal parts melancholy, good-hearted and downright creepy.
"Great Expectations" opens at the River East 21 in Chicago, the Renaissance in Highland Park and the Evanston CineArts 6. Rated PG-13 for violence. 128 minutes. ★ ★ ★

The Pella Municipal Airport will be undergoing some repair work later this year, following the approval of an engineering contract on the project at Tuesday's Pella City Council meeting. The contract for the rehabilitation of runway 16/34 at the Pella Airport is with Snyder & Associates in the amount of $42,266.
Coupled with an estimated $190,000 in construction costs, the project is expected to carry an estimated $232,000 price tag. Pella City Administrator Mike Nardini says the city should receive substantial assistance on the costs, though.
"The good news for the City of Pella is on an annual basis we receive funding from the Federal Aviation Administration for improvements at our airport. Since this is a safety item – and we need to maintain a good and adequate runway out there – it is eligible for FAA entitlement funding," said Nardini.
"The long and the short of it is, when you look at the engineering plus the construction costs at $232,000, we believe the local share of that is going to be right around $11,000, with approximately $200,000 to $221,000 coming from the Federal Aviation Administration."
The airport rehabilitation project would involve the replacement of approximately 1,850 square yards of pavement at the runway.

LUBBOCK, Texas —So it wasn't simply the emotion of playing No. 1 at home that brought out the best in Texas Tech last week. The Red Raiders just might be that good.
Proving the No. 2 ranking and win over Texas was no fluke, Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree picked up where they left off, scoring touchdown after touchdown and turning a showdown with No. 8 Oklahoma State into a 56-20 rout Saturday night.
After losing a fumble on the game-opening drive, Harrell led the Red Raiders to touchdowns on their next seven drives, capping three of them with TD passes to Crabtree, the big, strong sophomore who might be the nation's most dangerous receiver.
Now that Texas Tech (10-0, 6-0 Big 12) has gotten by two straight top-10 foes, one more awaits: No. 6 Oklahoma. In Norman.
At least the Red Raiders have next weekend off to get ready for yet another game that will be billed as the most important in school history. The stakes will be high—the biggest remaining obstacle to winning the Big 12 South, earning a spot in the conference title game and playing their way into the national championship game.
Harrell finished 40-of-50 for 456 yards and six touchdowns. He lost two fumbles but didn't throw an interception and wasn't sacked. He was rarely even pressured as Texas Tech won its 12th straight game, the longest streak in the nation and best in school history.
Crabtree caught eight passes for 89 yards and the three scores. Nine other Red Raiders caught passes on the way to piling up 629 yards—still less than the 718 yards gained in a 49-45 loss to Oklahoma State last year, a game best remembered for the post-game "I'm a man! I'm 40!" rant by Cowboys coach Mike Gundy.
A more-composed Gundy and Oklahoma State (8-2, 4-2) came into this game seeking the same goals as Texas Tech. If the Cowboys had won, there would've been a four-way tie atop the division with the Sooners their last remaining obstacle, too.
Things looked good for them early, when Kendall Hunter scored on a 2-yard run three plays after Oklahoma State's recovery of a fumbled snap by Harrell. The Cowboys led 7-0 after only 2:30 and the crowd that provided such a boost against Texas the previous Saturday night went silent.
Yet Harrell, the nation's leading passer, marched the Red Raiders 80 yards in five plays. He took them 70 yards on the next drive, then 97 and 72, spreading the ball around, while saving the most important plays for his main man, Crabtree. It was 28-14 at the half and Texas Tech already had 312 yards against a defense allowing an average of 357.4 yards per game.
The only thing that slowed the Red Raiders was the halftime show.
Oklahoma State had the ball to start the second half, driving to get within a touchdown. But tight end Brandon Pettigrew fumbled near midfield and Harrell went back to work. He finished a 48-yard drive with an 8-yard slant to Crabtree, putting Texas Tech up 35-14 and putting Oklahoma State down by its largest deficit of the season.
Crabtree celebrated by going to the back of the end zone and staring into television cameras, perhaps fighting off the urge to strike the Heisman Trophy pose, while a few tortillas flew from the student sections, a longtime tradition that's waned since rules against it were stiffened. Nonetheless, a few more tortillas came slicing through the air like Frisbees when Crabtree caught a fade for another touchdown on the next drive.
Oklahoma State scored between Crabtree's two touchdowns and still had a chance to make things interesting by starting the fourth quarter at the Texas Tech 20.
But Zac Robinson was sacked, then forced to scramble and throw the ball away. Under heavy pressure again on third down, he threw too quickly toward the end zone and was intercepted at the 4. Harrell took over and drove 96 yards for the exclamation-point touchdown.
The TD roll ended when Harrell lost another fumble on the next drive. Then, he was done for the night. Backup Taylor Potts took over and went 5-for-5 on his lone series, capping it with a touchdown pass to Shannon Woods. Woods caught two TD passes and ran for another score.
Eric Morris led Texas Tech with 10 catches for 97 yards.

New niche: NIA movement center moves
"Make more time for exercise." "Avoid stress." "Try something new."
Resolutions like these tend to appear and reappear with stubborn regularity on many of our personal growth to-do lists each new year. But the resolve soon dissolves– a reality that only enhances the ennui of our times.
Why not just stop making resolutions? That's certainly one option. But 2003 offers more positive health solutions, right here in Charlottesville.
Starting the year off with a holistic bang is Studio 206, the alternative body-mind-spirit movement center started by owner/director Chris Friedman in 1999. Back then, the studio staffed nine teachers and offered classes primarily in Nia (an innovative inspirational fitness program inspired by martial arts, dance, and healing arts), yoga, and the Alexander Technique at its original location.
As word spread, the proverbial ball picked up speed, and one studio was no longer big enough to contain the exuberance.
"From the beginning, our goal has been to allow the community to grow organically and to expand in response to that growth," says petite and powerfully peaceful Friedman. Apparently, her goal is finding the support– and the space– it needs to continue thriving.
Now with 36 instructors and 80 classes ranging from yoga (there's literally a style for every age, shape, and flexibility range), capoeira, and Pilates to belly dance, Irish stepdance, and creative dance for toddlers and for teens, Studio 206 is opening a second location at 505 Monticello Road in the heart of Belmont. This new space above Mas, a soon-to-open tapas bar, has the same light-and-airy feel as the main studio with big windows, mountain views, and a sprung maple floor.
From January 11 until January 17, new students will have the chance to sample the studio's ample offerings at both locations for free.
If you resolved to jump start 2003 in a fun and healthy way, the Saturday morning (10am-12pm) "Playshop" with new-fitness pioneer and Nia co-creator Carlos Rosas– who's in town this week to train Nia instructors at Studio 206—would be a good place to start.
Rosas, who trained (and inspired) Chris Friedman, says attendees can expect an intensified Nia experience, complete with soul-searching music and lots of interaction and freedom of expression. About Charlottesville, which is the first Nia-center in Virginia, Rosas says, "There's a feeling of cohesion here. People at Studio 206 are comfortable supporting and participating in new expression. I feel very creative here."
Coming from the teacher's teacher, that's no small compliment.
All classes at both Studio 206 locations ( 206 Market Street and 505 Monticello Road) are free to new students during the week of January 11-17. For the complete schedule, visit www.studio206downtown.com or pick one up at the studio.
Nia co-creator Carlos Rosas leads a special two-hour Nia "Playshop" at the Omni Hotel Ballroom on Saturday, January 11 10am-12pm ($25). No prior Nia experience is necessary. To sign up or for more information, call the studio at 296-6250.

"Search Document Records - Minnie Wallace Results "
Viewing 1 to 2 of 2
Memphis Harp & Jug Blowers 1927 - 1939
It just might be that Memphis invented the harmonica blues or at least that they grew up in the city and environs considering the number of major harp players living there. Will Shade, Jed Davenport of neighbouring Tennessee, Noah Lewis from Ripley, Hammie Nixon from Brownsville and later John Lee (Sonny Boy Wiliamson No. 1) Williamson from Jackson, Tennessee. As an indication of the Memphis areas pre-eminence in affairs of the harp we could look at the record company's field trips. For example with over 30 trips each to Atalnta and Texas (compared to just 12 to Memphis) only a hand full of harmonica players were discovered. Atlanta could only muster Palmer McAbee (who may have been white). De Ford Bailey (from Nashville). Birmingham's Jaybird Coleman and a Buddy Moss accompaniment While Texas produced one William McCoy and an unknown accompanist to Hattie Hyde! But more important than mere superiority of numbers is the difference in style; while the other harmonica players were fox-chasing and playing trains (see DOCD-5100) the Memphis men were playing hard blues.

Memphis Jug Band Vol 2 1928 - 1929
Memphis Jug Band Vol 2 (13th February 1928 to October 1929)
Includes: Will Shade; vocal, guitar; (Casey Bill) Will Weldon, guitar; Vol Stevens, banjo-mandolin; Charlie Polk, jug; Charlie Burse, vocal, guitar; Jab Jones, jug; Hattie Hart, vocal; And others…
Genres: Memphis Blues, Country Blues, Jug Bands
Informative booklet notes by Chris Smith.
Detailed discography.
When the Memphis Jug Band reassembled in September 1928 to cut eight titles for Victor, they began in larky mood. New member (on disc at least) Jab Jones sang what was nominally a tribute to Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic the previous year, but his version of the Lindyhop is a crazy, almost surrealist one. Sugar Pudding, a version of "Take Your Fingers Off It", marked the debut of Jones's thunderous jug, replacing the less forthright Charlie Polk. The other new member was the extrovert Alabaman guitarist and singer Charlie Burse. He was one of the singers on both On The Road Again, whose chorus refers to Monk Eastman's eponymous gang, active in New York in the late 1890s, and the hybrid A Black Woman Is Like A Black Snake, with its 12 bar verse and 8 bar chorus. The cryptic Whitewash Station opened proceedings on 15th September, followed by the Memphis Jug Band's most famous number, the beautiful Stealin' Stealin', relaxed, nostalgic, and superbly played. The two waltzes that closed the session, though unusual on race records, were probably no novelty to the band, which would have been expected to play such pieces for dancing by both blacks and whites.

WINNER: Firefox 3.0 Within months of the launch of Mozilla's Firefox 3.0 Web browser, the application had registered a 20 percent market share for the first time ever and appeared to be cutting into the stranglehold Microsoft's Internet Explorer has held on the industry.
What's propelling such quick growth all of a sudden? When the Test Center looked at Firefox 3.0 at the time of its release, we found a host of improvements and features, including enhanced malware security, even better customization potential and—after years of complaints—aggravating memory leaks had been incredibly well-plugged. Even with a splash from Google's own new browser, Chrome, Firefox continues to hold its position as a browser that VARs, ISVs and developers can go to for customization, both personal and commercial.

Alton Coal Development LLC and Los Angeles' dependence on coal are threatening majestic Bryce Canyon National Park. Right now, the federal Bureau of Land Management is considering approving an additional 3,500 acres of land next to Bryce Canyon to expand Alton Coal's Coal Hollow Strip Mine. Instead of helping to destroy a national park with a dirty, dangerous coal mine, Los Angeles should create its own solar power. Take action to protect Utah's economy, health, and Bryce Canyon for future generations!

China's Toxic Fog
series: Global 3000
air date: 4/17/13 6:30 PM
Dying Forests - The High Cost of Paraguay's Economic Upswing - Alberto Yanosky is the head of the NGO Guyra Paraguay. Since 1997, the environmental organization has led the struggle to protect the country's natural habitats and their inhabitants. Yanosky is trying to prevent the deforestation of the rain forest in Paraguay. The environmentalist estimates that some 1,000 hectares of forest are cut down each day to make way for cattle ranches and soybean fields. Yanosky tries to step in when land deals are being made in order to save at least some of the trees. Clearing the Air - China's Toxic Fog - Smog affects thirteen percent of China, an area four times the size of Germany. The air pollution is caused by the growing number of cars on the roads as well as the country's extensive use of coal. The world's second-largest economy uses nearly as much coal as the rest of the world combined. Seven of the ten cities with the worst air pollution are in China. Now the country's population is starting to protest and to call for radical measures to reduce pollutants. Suddenly, environmental protection has become an important topic in China. A Nation Awakes - India's "Red Brigades" Combat Violence Against Women - For woman in many parts of India, the threat of sexual assaults and violence have made them afraid to be in public alone. In Lucknow, the capital of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, women are fighting for their rights and safety. Some 24,000 rapes were reported in India in 2011, but activists believe the real number is much higher. India's politicians are slow to respond, despite promises of new legislation ensuring women's rights. Across the country, increasing numbers of groups are protesting against the mistreatment of women and girls by men - and by the Indian government.

Monday question: Reluctant bridesmaid
How about a good old-fashioned wedding dilemma to start off the week?
About two years ago, a friend got engaged and asked me to be in her wedding. We were college buddies (but by no means very close), and I was excited for her but a bit shocked when she asked me to be a bridesmaid. I said yes, more out of surprise than anything. I'll admit, I wasn't totally sure but I was afraid of hurt feelings. I honestly thought it would peter out and I'd be free of the obligation (stupid me). So, things have progressed along and the wedding is in a few months.
I've already bought the dress and the shoes, but as the date closes in I am increasingly uncomfortable with being involved. I have certainly drifted apart from the bride (we barely speak, and when we do it's in regards to wedding things) and despite my best efforts I am having a hard time getting along with the other bridesmaids. I am certainly the odd one out in this group, for many reasons.
So, I'm wondering if it is possible to excuse myself from the wedding party/wedding itself in a polite way? Or am I stuck with this til the bitter end?
What do you think, dear readers? I'll share my own advice and opinions on Friday.
And come back during the week! I have much news to share -- and theater tickets to give away!

Note: Margaret is on the road and away from her computer (she'll be back on Monday), but said we should post this story:
South Carolina state representative Ralph Davenport (Republican, SC) has proposed a bill that would make sex toys illegal in SC. If passed, selling them would be a felony in the state. More info on the babeland blog. What's worse is that Davenport readily admits that he doesn't know what a sex toy is – yet he wants them banned.
This guy is from my home state, and represents my home county, so I find this especially infuriating but also embarrassing. Of course, he's the same representative who proposed a bill to erect a fetus monument on the state house lawn.
If you'd like to contact Rep. Davenport and let him know what sex toys are (probably not a threat to national security for starters) you can find his info here.

Last month it was 2 weeks on the AT, this time I wanted to live out of a kayak for a few days....
4 days/3 nights paddling at LBL
The Warbonnet Warbird (I know its supposed to be Blackbird) is a superior product....this compared to a Backpacker Asym and Lite Racer.
Why? I know I'm preaching to the choir here but for the newbies here goes:
top entry done right...no stress on the zipper, less worry about failure
asym done right with an even more pronounced flat lay
shelf done right...it's functional and 'right' where you'll use it
foot box done almost right....but close enough for you to appreciate it...my only
complaint in the foot box is that the double bottom doesn't go into the
footbox or am I missing something here
straps/triangle thingies (hey what is the real name for the triangles?)..well you can have this setup on other hammocks but it is an improvement over the typical Hennessey setup, why? because your setup/adjustment time is greatly decreased
I remember the first time I crawled out of a HH; smiling from ear to ear, knowing I had evolved-destined to hover over rocks/roots/water/whatever. The feeling has returned and lastly
cost done right....almost $60 less than the Lite Racer replacement HH is offering.
OK there is a weight penalty with the double bottom and the straps/carabiner/triangles but a cuben tarp is going to remedy that.
Nope, no kickback from 'His real name is Brandon'; just a fine product.
In the pic you'll notice a JRB Mt. Washington and you'll figure that this trip was over the last few days at Land Between the Lakes, and you go hmmmm what was the low there...it was in the 60s--so why a Mt. Washington? I'm a seriously cold sleeper; on top was an Arc Alpinist and I think it is rated to 20F. ...and I wasn't exactly sweating! but kayaking is a wet sport, you end up wet/damp all day. I do sleep a bit warmer when hiking.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Griot Institute for Africana Studies at Bucknell University is hosting a series of events examining the Jonestown massacre.
"Jonestown Reconsidered, 35 Years Later," will explore the events in Jonestown in 1978 and how they relate to many contemporary social and geo-political dilemmas, according to Rebecca Willoughby, lecturer in English at Bucknell and interim assistant director of the Griot Institute.
"The events in the series will seek to examine fundamental questions of religion, race, nationality, power, civil rights, sexuality, poverty, aspiration, and identity through the lens of Jonestown and its cultural significance," said Willoughby
"The Peoples Temple and its leader, Jim Jones, were intimately associated with and, at least early in the history of the organization, endorsed by some of the leading social and political figures of the 1970s.
"The lecture/discussion series will examine the Jonestown narratives through campus visits with the people who lived the experience as well as the scholars and artists who have contributed to the understanding of the Jonestown massacre," she said.
Events open to the public without charge begin Wednesday, Feb. 6, with the talk, "A Dream Deferred: The Promise and Pathos of Peoples Temple." Rebecca Moore, chair of the department of religious studies at San Diego State University, will speak about her interest in Jonestown, which stems in part from the loss of three family members there. Moore's talk begins at 7 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center.
Other events in February include:
The series continues in March with talks by Jordan Vilchez, a teenage member of the People's Temple, on March 6, and with Tim Carter, a survivor of the massacre, on March 20.
In April, the series continues with talks by journalist Julia Scheeres on April 3; "Jonestown Reconsidered: A response from students in the Jonestown class," on April 10; and Stephan Jones, son of Jonestown founder Jim Jones, on April 17.

Submission + - NYT Games To Avoid: Ironic Perfect Gamer Wish List (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: "From October to December, the advertising departments of a thousand companies exhort children to beg, cajole, and guilt-trip their parents for all manner of inappropriate digital entertainment. As supposedly informed gatekeepers, we sadly earthbound Santas are reduced to scouring the back pages of gaming review sites and magazines, trying to evaluate whether the tot at home is ready for Big Bird's Egg Hunt or Bayonetta. Luckily, The New York Times is here to help. In a recent article provokingly titled "Ten Games to Cross off Your Child's Gift List," the NYT names its list of big bads—the video games so foul, so gruesome, so perverse that we'd recommend you buy them immediately — for yourself. Alternatively, if you need gift ideas for the surly, pale teenager in your home whose body contains more plastic then your average d20, this is the newspaper clipping to stuff in your pocket... In other words, if you need a list like this to understand what games to not stuff little Johnny's stocking with this holiday season, you've got larger issues you should concern yourself with. We'd suggest picking up an auto-shotty and taking a few rounds against the horde — it's a wonderful stress relief and you're probably going to need it."

Maryline White had recently divorced her husband and decided to venture from her Midtown apartment in New York City to a friend's house party in Connecticut.
She curled her hair and put on her best blouse and skirt because a woman wearing pants to a party was unacceptable in 1957.
As she walked into her friend's apartment, she noticed a 5-foot-2-inch woman with short blond hair stand up and lock eyes with her immediately. She was the only one who stood in the room, let alone acknowledged White's presence.
White had had these feelings before, at summer camp when she was 12 years old.
But it was 1957, and being gay was unacceptable.
White, who now lives in Ashland, was born in 1921 in Dayton, Ohio, where she lived most of her childhood. She was the oldest of three girls, and certainly the most different.
When she attended summer camp, she met a camp counselor who gave her feelings that at first she did not understand.
"I was mad about her," White said. "She knew what was happening to me and helped me through the hump. But she didn't want me to go too far and get into an emotional thing with her."
White's camp counselor wasn't the only one who recognized her different feelings.
"My mother sensed who I was and what I was up to," White said. "She was puzzled as to why I was the only one out there who was the way I was."
But White wasn't the only one. She was just one of many who had to hide their homosexuality for fear of being ostracized by 1930s culture.
Soon after White locked eyes with Louise at that Connecticut apartment, the two started dating and traveling from Connecticut to New York City to visit each other. The pair were inseparable as they enjoyed weekly dinners and long walks with Louise's two Scottish terriers.
A couple of months passed before the two became partners, and soon they moved into a small apartment at 46th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City's Upper East Side.
But even living together, the two had to hide their relationship.
After all, it was 1958, and being gay was unacceptable.
"We never came out," White said. "We had stories put together like we were either sisters, cousins or in-laws who had left our husbands to travel together."
The two remained secret partners for 11 years, living in Maine, San Diego and Carmel, Calif.
They told the same story wherever they went, keeping their intimate relationship from the world.
Little did the couple know, though, they would reach some sort of liberation with the domino effect of the 1969 Stonewall riots in lower Manhattan.
The riots were a series of violent demonstrations from the gay community in opposition to a police raid of the Stonewall Inn in New York City, which was the largest gay establishment in the United States at the time.
By 1970, the riots' effect spread across the rest of the United States and the world.
Even with the gay community out in the open, though, the pair kept their secret.
"We never thought of the incident as giving us confidence to come out loud," White said. "So we continued our love and what we were doing."
The two began to travel the United States. White became an award-winning journalist, winning a reporting award from The Associated Press, and Louise continued with her art.
But in 1999, Louise, who was in her late 80s, was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer.
The two not only had to deal with the difficult news of Louise's terminal illness, but White also discovered that because she wasn't a blood or legal relative, she couldn't be in the room during Louise's final hours.
After all, it was 1999, and being gay was unacceptable.
White sat next to her beloved partner and admired Louise's strength after she was told the gut-wrenching news.
"Now the pain is going to get really bad," the doctor said to Louise. "I want you to come back to this hospital for the last two weeks so we can ease you of that terrible pain you're going to have."
Louise sat up and pointed her finger in the doctor's face.
"Now you listen to me," she said. "You will never get me back here in the hospital because you and the staff will only allow my blood relatives here in the room with me. I don't want them. I want my partner here."
Louise died four weeks later at home with White by her side, leaving behind the pain medication and the discrimination at that hospital in Portland, Maine.
Now it's 2013, and being gay is no longer unacceptable. White has a poster in her Mountain Meadows apartment that reads, "Gay by birth, proud by choice."
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act — which prevented couples like White and her partner from collecting federal benefits — is unconstitutional.
And White, 92, was able to celebrate the court's decision with her fellow gay community in Ashland's Plaza on Wednesday afternoon.
"The ruling means any person who loves another person can get married and receive the federal benefits they deserve," White said. "The benefits I never received."
Reach Snowden intern Amanda Barker at 541-776-4368.

Bash Cookbook 278
|Bash Cookbook
|Carl Albing, JP Vossen, Cameron Newham
|Chad Wollenberg
|A good book for intermediate and above users of Bash
Bash Cookbook is by no means for the feint of heart. It seems that the book is meant for intermediate and above users of Bash. However, the first several chapters do a significant job of over viewing basic concepts of Bash navigation and combing simple commands. The book quickly changes gears to complex statements on how to get things done in Bash.
By Chapter 7, Bash Cookbook extends out of Bash commands and begins exploring combining the power of bash scripting with useful command such as grep, awk, and sed. To quote the authors, "if our scripting examples are going to tackle real-world problems, they need to use the wider range of tools that are actually used by real-world bash users and programmers." And that is exactly what they do. This chapter alone gave me the ability to do more in the command line environment simply by explaining the functions of the scripts put forth. That is something that any reader, intermediate to expert, can take from this book. The detailed explanations really do give everyone the ability to learn something about the commands, and the references to additional resources often lead me to the computer, looking up further details.
I found Chapter 11 to be very useful (pun intended) finally grasping some concepts on the find command that have previously escaped me. From Chapter 12 on, the book focuses on writing useful and complex scripts. This is where the book really begins to shine for the Unix enthusiast and system administrator. The scripts found in Chapter 12, and their elaborate descriptions begin to show the true power of Bash scripting, and how much you can automate. Chapter 14 is about securing your scripts, and is a heavy read, but well worth reading for any administrator that would be using their scripts in a production environment.
Just when you think this book has reached its limits, it gives very handy customization examples in Chapter 16 on how to configure and customize Bash. And also goes into common mistakes made by the novice user. Combine all of that with the Appendices for quick reference, and this book has not left my side since it arrived. While I would not recommend this book for the novice user, I would recommend this book to any system administrator that has to work with Unix or Linux. If nothing else, the examples given here are full of good, reusable code to make tasks easier in your day to day functions. Well done.

Blackburn sign striker DJ Campbell from QPR
DJ Campbell says he has left QPR and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Blackburn.
Last Updated: 01/02/13 12:21am
But as the 11pm deadline passed, there was no confirmation from either club that the paperwork had been submitted in time.
Campbell's future at Loftus Road has been the subject of speculation for some time after enjoying a successful spell on loan at Ipswich.
The 31-year-old scored 10 goals in a loan spell at Portman Road earlier this season and they were thought to be keen on bringing him back to the club.
Hull were then believed to be favourites to land Campbell after holding talks with the player earlier this week, before Blackburn stepped in.
Rovers boss Michael Appleton wanted to bolster his attacking options with Jordan Rhodes needing some goalscoring support.
But it remains to be seen whether Rovers beat the deadline and reports suggest they are in discussions with the Football League to ratify the transfer.

Unproductive Sun [1]
Those of us here in the northern hemisphere are seeing a lot of the Sun right now. The summer solstice is coming up on Wednesday, so these are the longest days of the year. Across the Lower 48 states, we'll see anywhere from 14 to 17 hours of sunshine, with those in the northern tier of states at the high end of the scale.
Our star's brilliance isn't misleading — the Sun is brighter than perhaps 95 percent of all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
And yet, for all its brilliance, the Sun is terribly inefficient and unproductive. Believe it or not, you produce more energy per pound than the Sun does — a lot more.
The Sun shines because it's producing nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen into helium. But this activity takes place only in the Sun's core. The rest of our star produces no energy at all. Instead, it presses hard on the Sun's center and keeps it hot — about 28 million degrees Fahrenheit — which allows the nuclear reactions to take place.
You, of course, produce much less energy than the Sun does, and you produce that energy through chemical reactions, not nuclear fusion. But you also weigh much less than the Sun does, and the amount of energy you produce per pound is much higher. In fact, you generate more than a thousand times as much energy per pound as the Sun does.
So as you bask in the heat and light of the Sun, keep in mind that you're giving as good as you're getting.
We'll have more about the Sun tomorrow.

Not sure this guy saw the game?
Appling shot 33%, had 4 fouls, turnover that lead to the game winning basket, and participated in the final possession that resulted in no shot.
Grasping at straws, "Appling's second half play was considerably better than his first half — he was 2-of-4 shooting in the second half and all of his free throws and makes occurred in the second half."
