The stretch run has arrived, oozing intrigue and guaranteed to end in controversy.
Nine questions for November:
Tedford is a good coach and a good man who has done wondrous things for Cal athletics during his 11 seasons. He also is mired in a multiyear slump that is unfortunate for all involved: The Bears have lost ground relative to Stanford and are 9-15 in conference play since the start of the 2010 season.
One more loss, and Cal (3-6) would miss the postseason for the second time in three years.
Fan frustration is peaking at a time when the school needs to sell 50-year rights to season tickets in order to pay for the $321 million renovation of Memorial Stadium.
The project wouldn't have been possible without the success Tedford created. Now it might be the impetus for his dismissal.
If Stanford (6-2) runs the table, it would head for the Rose Bowl as the Pac-12 champion.
If it loses once and Oregon jumps into the national title game, the Cardinal could sneak into the Rose as the league's highest-ranked at-large candidate. It caught a huge break in that regard last week when USC and Oregon State stumbled.
The at-large path to Pasadena requires that Stanford be among the top 14 teams in the final BCS rankings.
Its current BCS ranking: No. 14.
The Spartans are on more fragile ground than their 6-2 record suggests: One of their victories doesn't count toward bowl eligibility, and there is no obvious landing spot even if they finish with seven or eight wins.
The Western Athletic Conference has only one tie-in, to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. All other eligible teams are free agents, available to any of the 35 bowls.
With their modest tradition and small fan base, the Spartans are not atop the wish list of bowls in the eastern half of the country.
But the better their record, the more attractive they become.
The coveted second bid, worth millions to the conference, hinges on Oregon jumping into the national championship game and an at-large slot opening in the Rose Bowl.
But the Pac-12 could encounter a scenario in which its best candidate is the South division winner — and that team gets eliminated from contention by a loss to Oregon in the league title game.
Call it the Eat-Your-Own Bowl.
Klein, who wasn't on the Heisman radar two months ago, is the front-runner. But big names from powerhouse programs are in pursuit: Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, USC receiver Marqise Lee, Oregon tailback Kenjon Barner and Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron.
The Heisman is about politics, popularity and rising to the occasion in November. If Klein can stiff-arm that quintet, he will have earned the trophy.
The race to face the Crimson Tide in the national championship game is the most intriguing story of the stretch run.
Kansas State, Notre Dame and Oregon are the front-runners. They're undefeated and have the benefit of not playing in the Southeastern Conference.
Nobody wants another all-SEC title game, except the SEC.
Ranked third in the BCS, the Irish are fabulous on the line of scrimmage, solid everywhere else and beloved by the computers.
A berth in the title game could hinge on the nationally televised season finale at USC on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Who would want to watch that game?
The Ducks have fared poorly in the computer rankings because of a soft schedule, but they should receive a software upgrade this month with three ranked teams in their path (USC, Stanford and Oregon State).
It's entirely possible that a one-loss Oregon would jump into the national title game.
It's also possible that a no-loss Oregon would get boxed out of the title game.
You never know with that crazy BCS.

Prima Radshuhe, mein Herr!
I am an admitted geek and slave to fashion. The white is too good. Had to true-up my overwhelming Sidi collection with the 07 Dragon's for this coming CX season (can't ever be too early, girls). I rocked these last year and 'dem shitis dope, yo.' Translation: the white makes you go faster or so you can tell yourself. Bought that sheeit online from a store in Germany. where i got 'em last year. Not a bad price, either. No, you sluts. I am not telling you which store. Ha!
The weather blows but I am gonna throw fenders and a plastic cape on tomorrow and have some fun for a few hours. Lots of craziness in my life looming. Best to just put the head down and go forward in the rain. The thoughts will be there so I won't notice the cold. I can't deal with who'll be in my way. You'll just have to get run over as the spaces between my synapses are so thin, everything is firing at once these days. The sleep is bad and twitchy. F-ing Mol. How many months? Mol appears then disappears over my bow with every surge the waves coming in trying to sink me.
Whoa. White shoes to life waves trying to sink me. Transcending man. Whoa. I will now stop working aand being a total shit doink and go pop open a 1554 so I can chill the F out.
It's Friday.

The Indoor Zone Transmitter is compatible with the PetSafe Ultra Systems IUC-4100, IUC-4200, and IUC-5100.
The Indoor Zone system is designed to keep your pet out of certain areas of your home or away from specific objects such as the couch or kitchen trash cans. The discs use 3 AA batteries that last on average 6 months. Using the discs are very simple. Place it where you don't want your pet to go and setup a range of protection. The range setting is important because it allows for you to best utilize the device without having to be overly strategic on the placement. Say you want the dog to stay out of the trash. Put a disc next to the trash receptacle and set a distance of 2 feet. This will allow your pet access to the kitchen without it being about to access the trash and make a mess.
Perhaps you need to keep your dog off some of the furniture, place the disc just like you did with the trash and set a large range so your dog will stay off. Now in both cases when the pet is getting too close to the disc it will receive a warning beep emitted from the collar so it can learn not to go any farther.
Each disc has a maximum range of 12 feet but you can combine them to make a larger buffer field. The ability to expand makes this system perfect for any home size or configuration in particular to the fact that the field size of each disc is customizable.
Also if you like the way this system is designed but would like to be able to implement it in your yard to keep your pet away from a pool, pond, or flower bed then be sure to view the Paws Away Outdoor Pet Barrier page listed above. If you'd like a further understanding of how this and the outdoor system work be sure to view our videos section or call our number listed below.

|Thank you Graphics Fairy!
Years ago my mom told me a story about the Christmas season in which my brother began to doubt the existence of Santa Claus. Mom did not recall at what age his skepticism set in, but she did recall 'threatening' my brother with some unspecified punishment if he said anything about his doubts to me, his little sister. My brother is a good egg, and he never said a word to me about his feeling that Santa was a creature of dubious origin. I believe it is in part due to my brother that I still believe in Santa Claus.
Nah! Overall a bad idea.
I am grateful for each and every one of those who are:
Definitely manifesting Santa.

2002 Ford Escape ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Best-in-class handling and performance.
Ford Escape offers agile handling on both paved and unpaved roads. It rides smoothly and gets strong acceleration performance from an optional V6 engine. The Escape seats four people comfortably, and folding down the rear seats reveals a flat, moderately sized cargo area. Best of all, its price is relatively low.
A completely new vehicle a year ago, the Ford Escape is among the best small sport-utilities vehicle on sale today, especially if you spend little time off road.
Two trim levels are available, XLS, XTL.
For 2002, the basic XLS version starts at $18,415 with front-wheel drive (2WD) and at $20,040 with four-wheel drive. The upgraded XLT begins at $21,950 with 2WD and at $23,575 with 4WD.
XLS comes with a 2.0-liter Zetec four-cylinder engine that provides 127 horsepower and a high level of standard equipment that includes air conditioning, illuminated remote entry, power windows and mirrors, a tilt steering column and an audio system with a CD player. For 2002 the audio system includes AM/FM/CD/cassette and a clock.
XLT adds a 201-horsepower 3.0-liter Duratec V6 engine, automatic transmission, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, cargo cover and convenience net, premium center console, fog lights, white-letter tires, premium cloth upholstery, power driver's seat, privacy glass, five-spoke aluminum wheels and an in-dash six-CD changer. The upgraded engine, in-dash CD, power driver's seat and privacy glass are new standard features for the XLT for the 2002 model year.
A large number of option packages is available for each trim level. For example, the XLT premium package ($1230) includes leather seating surfaces, leather-wrapped steering wheel, front buckets with 60/40 split rear bench, front door map pockets, overhead console with dual storage bins, front passenger under-seat storage tray, power moonroof with sunshade.
Ford designers worked to achieve a balance between the SUV's image of confidence, ruggedness and versatility with an image of agility and fun. The Escape's forward-poised stance, large wheel lips, wide body cladding and an integrated bumper guard give a functional look. The Escape is wider than other compact SUVs and this gives it a look that is both aggressive and well planted. Short front and rear overhangs add more to the sports appeal. The Escape looks bold and aggressive than the Honda CR-V, looking like it came from the same family as the Ford Explorer and Expedition.
Being able to see the leading edge of the hood from the driver's seat makes the Escape easier to maneuver in tight places, whether you're deep in the woods or (more likely) in a tight big-city garage. If you are deep in the woods, its 8.5 inches of ground clearance may help clear obstacles. Outside door handles are easy to grab and feel like they're going to last.
Accessories from Ford Outfitters include a snap-in pet barrier and a system to haul two mountain bikes in the cargo area. Bike racks can also be mounted on the roof; the standard roof rack with crossbars holds up to 100 pounds. We don't like the idea of getting vehicles with tall ground clearances then bolting running boards on them. Ford says it designed the running boards on the Escape so that they do not lower the ground clearance. They are expected to be popular on the Escape and are designed to make it easier to install kayaks, snowboards and other toys on the roof rack. Likewise, the rear bumper was designed to aid roof access.
Ford claims the Escape is among the most spacious of the small SUVs (rated at 133.9 cubic feet of total interior volume). The rear cargo area offers 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, making it just the thing for a day of antiquing. With the split 60/40 rear seats folded up to accommodate up to five passengers it provides 33.0 cubic feet. Entering and exiting the vehicle is aided by a low doorsill height and wide door openings.
Front-seat roominess is similar to that of the Explorer. Rear seats offer good knee room. White-faced instruments, in vogue these days, are in a straightforward instrument panel.
Side airbags are optional.
The audio system and heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls in the center stack are angled slightly toward the driver to ease reach while driving. Ford engineers say they tested the placement of the controls by using blindfolded occupants.
Driving Impression
Sport-utility vehicles are not sports cars. In spite of that, California's twisting Highway 1 is an enjoyable drive in the Ford Escape. Handling response is relatively taut without that mushiness that characterizes SUVs with big off-road tires and long-travel suspensions. On muddy fire roads pocked with puddles and potholes, the Escape is a blast.
Steering is responsive. It feels direct and accurate without a big dead spot in the center. There's enough feeling in the steering to impart a sense of control. Though this is not a sports car, the tires provide respectable grip in paved corners.
When pushed beyond their limits, the front tires start slipping before the rear tires, just like most front-wheel-drive sedans. Called understeer, this means the Escape will describe a wider and wider arc through a corner as it is driven harder into a turn. So it's expected and predictable. Simply back slightly off the throttle and the vehicle tightens its line.
The Escape provides surprisingly good transient response in a series of left-right-left corners. This permits quick, yet smooth, driving. Two passengers never paused in an in-depth marketing discussion despite the fact that we were escaping at a brisk pace down Highway 1.
The V6 engine delivers good acceleration performance. While there's no such thing as too much power, I never felt lacking in the Escape. The engine and four-speed automatic transmission communicate and work well together. The transmission shifts smoothly up and down appropriately for the situation and the engine's broad power band never lugs or strains. It isn't the smoothest V6 on the market, nor is it the roughest. But it is smoother and more satisfying than the four-cylinder engines found on most small sport-utilities.
Brakes are smooth and responsive. The anti-lock brakes (ABS) come into play just when expected and are detectable by the familiar pulsating sensation. ABS lengthens braking distances on wet, slimy clay, however, so I found it difficult to slow the vehicle in time for tight switchbacks on the unpaved roads. (This is no different than any other SUV with ABS, however.).
With the V6 engine, which is standard in the XLT version for 2002 and an option in the XLS, the Ford Escape offers the most power in its category. A four-wheel independent suspension and unitbody construction make it handle almost as well as a car. A car-like ride makes it easy to live with. Overall, we feel the Escape is the best SUV in its class.

The Erie Canal Discovery Center has announced local Canalway Trail enthusiast Carol Schmelz was selected to receive the eighth annual Key to the Locks Award on May 4 at 11 a.m. at the Discovery Center, 24 Church St., Lockport.
The Key to the Lock is awarded each year to a local citizen from Niagara County who best promotes and exemplifies "Erie Canal spirit and heritage." Community members provided nominations, and a panel comprised of civic leaders and previous winners reviewed the entries. Previous award winners include Lockport Mayor Michael Tucker, David Kinyon, Jane Whitmore, Clint Starke, Becky Burns, Joe Whalen and Jeff Degnan.
Schmelz is well known as the prime "mover and shaker" behind restoring the Canalway Trail that follows the old towpath along the banks of the Erie Canal. She started advocating for the completion of the trail by writing to Assemblyman Dave Seaman in 1992 about the lack of horse trails in Niagara County. It was Seaman who suggested she get involved with the Canalway Trail, a concept then in its infancy.
"I got involved in this project because I rode my horse beside the canal in Pendleton for 20 years and knew the trail well," Schmelz said.
Although she still enjoys horseback riding, Schmelz laments that there are no designated places to ride in Niagara County. She said she hopes to rectify that by serving as the local representative to Canalway Trails Association New York, which is working to bridge the last local gap in the recreational trail along the Erie Canal.
The Canalway Trail runs parallels to the canal, in some cases using the same route as the original towpath. A "mule named Sal" may be long gone, but the trail is still used by walkers, joggers, bicyclists and more. For decades, the idea of a nonstop path along the canal has been hindered by a gaping hole in the trail between Amherst and Lockport, largely in the Town of Pendleton. Through the tireless efforts of Schmelz and other CTANY volunteers, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced recently that funding was in place to complete the Amherst-to-Lockport segment and work will begin in 2014, with a completion target date of September 2015. Once this is done, there will be 134 miles of continuous trail from Buffalo to the Village of Lyons in Wayne County.
The Key to the Locks Award ceremony is a free, public event, and all are encouraged to attend. In addition to the Key to the Locks presentation, the Erie Canal Song Contest winners will perform their winning selections. Both events take place at 11 a.m. For more information, call 716-439-0431.

BRENTWOOD — A well-known Brentwood winery has been sold lock, stock and wine barrel, but the former owners say business will continue as usual.
Hannah Nicole Vineyards and Winery's co-founder announced this week that a Chinese corporation has bought its vineyards, wine production facility, tasting room and event center after making a "very compelling offer."
"We weren't actually trying to sell. Somebody came along and had a lot of resources," said Neal Cohn, who will remain involved in the company's day-to-day operations. "Sometimes the timing's right."
JINTA Vineyards & Winery, a fledgling privately held company that invests in wineries, approached Hannah Nicole in December with its offer. The sale became final this week.
Hannah Nicole Vineyards, the only winery in East Contra Costa, cultivates about 55 acres of grapes, Cohn said. The business grows 10 varieties and makes around 15 different red and white wines.
The label can be found not only in stores and restaurants around the Bay Area but in states from Iowa and Indiana to Georgia and Delaware. But with the kind of capital that JINTA can provide, Hannah Nicole wines now will be even more widely distributed, Cohn said.
The company plans to expand the winery's reach around the United States and abroad, he said, noting that consumers already can buy bottles of Hannah Nicole in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
"They don't intend to purchase it and turn around and sell it in two years," Cohn said.
Whereas Hannah Nicole currently makes approximately 10,000 cases of wine annually, he said JINTA will be producing multiple times that volume.
Cohn, who still works as an insurance broker, began the business with his wife Glenda in 2001, making wine on the weekends in their garage.
Hannah Nicole has gone on to win numerous awards for its Zinfandels, sauvignon blanc, merlots and other varietals.

text: As part of its Steiger Tiger Tour, Case IH recently demonstrated what it claims is "the most powerful tillage system in the world." The 670-hp Steiger 600, the industry's most powerful tractor, was paired with the 26-ft.-wide Ecolo-Tiger 870, the industry's biggest combination disk ripper. In one pass, the system cut, ripped, and leveled a field of corn stalks at a work rate of 24 acres/hr. The tractor, powered by a new 12.9-liter Case IH engine by FTP, equipped with Tier 4A SCR technology, burned from 1.1 to 1.6 gal. of fuel/acre, giving it 10% higher fuel economy than previous models. Suggested list prices: The Steiger 600 starts at $420,000; the Ecolo-Tiger starts at $121,000. For more information, contact your Case IH dealer or visit www.caseih.com.

This book brings together international, linguistic research with a focus on interaction in multilingual encounters involving people with dementia in care and healthcare settings. The methodologies used (Conversation Analysis, Ethnography and Discursive Constructionism) capture practices on the micro-level, revealing how very subtle details may be of critical importance for the everyday well-being of participants with dementia, particularly in settings and contexts where there is a lack of a common verbal language of interlocutors, or where language abilities have been lost as a result of dementia. Chapters analyse the practices and actions employed by interlocutors to facilitate mutual understanding, enhance high-quality social relations and assure optimal care and treatment, in spite of language and cognitive difficulties, with an emphasis put on the participants remaining capacities, and what can be achieved between people with dementia and their interlocutors in a collaborative fashion. This book goes beyond the study of two-party communication to address multiparty and group interactions which are common in residential care and other healthcare settings and will be of interest to professionals and policy makers as well as to medical sciences and linguistics researchers and students.
This sparkling collection highlights the contribution of interactional research on dementia, revealing the complex interplay between the person with dementia and the people around them – staff, family and friends. The multilingual focus is a welcome acknowledgement that we live and conduct our affairs – in sickness and health – in a world of overlapping languages and cultures.- Charles Antaki, Loughborough University, UK
This exciting collection significantly furthers our understanding of the challenges and opportunities of having more than one language as a resource for communication and care in the dementia context. It offers important new insights into the risks of over-simplifying the experience of a multilingual person with dementia and/or care-giver, and demonstrates the importance of fully accommodating people's multilingual skills and needs.- Alison Wray, Cardiff University, UK
This volume constitutes a milestone in putting the multilingual challenge in dementia care on the agenda. Through in-depth analyses of actual encounters involving persons with dementia, it highlights both the nature of the challenges involved in these complex communicative situations, and conversational practices that are shown to be effective in overcoming these challenges.- Jan Svennevig, University of Oslo, Norway

If you look at photographs of Karate being demonstrated, whether on the cover of magazines or in books, you will almost always see two people standing straight up at close to arm's length. The attacker punches and the defender blocks. They are still standing there, straight up, at about arm's length.
Such depictions do not properly represent Karate movements. They do not show kuzushi -- the process of breaking or unsettling the attacker's balance. Judo students understand that you cannot simply throw your opponent using brute strength. You must first lead the opponent and break his balance. Then, throwing him will be relatively easy. Judo experts can sometimes throw with just a flick of their wrists, because they have already broken their opponent's balance.
We must do the same thing in Karate. When we block, we must also work to break the attacker's balance. This is usually accomplished by entering and tilting his sechusen, or centerline. We cannot simply stand in front of the attacker and exchange punches and blocks. There is no advantage in this. When we block or strike, we must put the attacker into a disadvantageous position, usually one in which he is off balance or unable to block our counterattack.
One way to break the attacker's balance is to enter and crowd him, pushing his upper body back. If, at the same time, we step on his foot or trap his knee, he will end up tilting back at an angle. Try punching when you are tilting back, particularly with your weight on your heels. It is very difficult to generate any power.
We can also push him back or to the sides, pull him forward, twist him using joint locking techniques, etc. We can break the attacker's balance in any direction we choose depending on where and how we wish to counterattack, or where we want to throw or position him (throw him into a wall, for example, or place him between us and another attacker).
It is necessary to block the punch but that it not enough. Simply blocking a punch invites another one. But if we combine our block with kuzushi, then we put the attacker in a weakened position and position ourself for a counterattack. Of course, many blocks can also be used as an effective counterattack either by themselves or in combination.
My sensei once showed me a way to practice where you bang your body into the attacker's body. One reason for this is so that you can punch or strike very hard. You are punching through the attacker's body, not merely striking the surface. The other reason is so that you will be able to break the attacker's balance.
As a former Judo and Aikido student, I would say that most Karate students do not have very good balance - unless they also practice grappling arts. Lacking good balance, it is natural that most Karate students would not think much about breaking the attacker's balance. But it is essential, particularly for a defender who may be smaller and weaker than the attacker.
Before you can break an attacker's bones (hopefully this could be avoided), you have to break his balance first. Then it might be possible to end the conflict with a throw or take-down, which is often more humane than a striking technique.

If you're looking for a high tech learning toy this season, we high recommend Leapfrog's TAG and TAG Junior reading systems. Both marry technology with collections of award winning books. Do they replace reading a book with your child? Of course not–but they will encourage your kids to explore and "read" books on their own.
Full review and shopping info for both
We'd skip their My Pal Scout–this is designed to be an interactive pet for toddlers. We found him to be less than huggable and the skills he's meant to teach are better taught with real life experiences. All of the current interactive, downloadable dolls on the market pale in comparison to the old Actimates from Microsoft. Their original Barney really became Barney for little children. It was truly magical to watch kids interact with this doll. This doll doesn't compare.
