NCAA Football Betting: Top 25 College Football Matchups for Week 13
- Updated: November 23, 2011
Here at Bang the Book, we have all of the top matchups of the 2011 NCAA football betting campaign covered! Today, we're taking a look at the Top 25 matchups for Week 13!
#3 Arkansas Razorbacks (10-1 SU, 7-4 ATS) @ #1 LSU Tigers (11-0 SU, 8-3 ATS)
Spread: LSU -12, Total: 52
Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA – Friday, 2:30 ET

There are a number of games that the Bayou Bengals have played in this year against Top 10 foes, and this is going to be the last of the bunch in all likelihood. The test might be tremendous though, as Arkansas has had a history of pulling off the upset on the day after Thanksgiving, even in this very venue with the Tigers ranked No. 1 in the country. The winner of this game is likely to end up in the SEC Championship Game, while the loser is likely going to be out of the BCS all together. There is plenty still to work out over the course of the next two weeks, but the loser is definitely behind the 8-ball.
#2 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1 SU, 7-3 ATS) @ Auburn Tigers (7-4 SU, 4-7 ATS)
Spread: Alabama -21, Total: 47
Jordan Hare Stadium, Auburn, AL – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The Iron Bowl is always one of the biggest rivalry games of the year, and this year is no exception. Last year, Auburn went on the road and beat Alabama to play for the National Championship Game. Now, it's the Tide that are going to be on the road in the Iron Bowl with a shot at playing for all the marbles. Odds have it, a win will send Alabama to the title game, and the Tigers would love nothing more than to spoil that party once again. Remember that these are still the defending National Champions, and in their backyard, they aren't going to give up without a tremendous fight.
#4 Virginia Tech Hokies (10-1 SU, 3-8 ATS) @ #25 Virginia Cavaliers (8-3 SU, 6-5 ATS)
Spread: Virginia Tech -4.5, Total: 45.5
Scott Stadium, Charlottesville, VA – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
It really isn't often that this rivalry game in the state of Virginia means all that much, but this year, the stakes really couldn't be much higher. The Hokies still have a shot of playing for all of the marbles, and a win in this game and in the ACC Championship Game might be enough to play for the National Championship. Meanwhile, Virginia is coming off of its biggest win of the year on the road at Florida State, and it knows that winning this game will send it to the ACC Championship Game instead of the Hokies. The loser of this one could be headed to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, while the winner will likely be favored to take the spot in the Orange Bowl (if VT isn't playing in the National Championship Game).
#24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) @ #5 Stanford Cardinal (10-1 SU, 9-2 ATS)
Spread: Stanford -6.5, Total: 58
Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto, CA – Saturday, 8:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
With as much carnage that has gone on over the course of the last several weeks, Notre Dame has a chance to hop into the BCS as an at large team. A win over the No. 5 team in the land just could get it into the Top 14, which would guarantee the Irish a spot in the Sugar Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl. This is probably a play-in game to the BCS for the Cardinal as well. A loss would have them sitting on pins and needles, and it could be the difference between the Holiday Bowl and a huge reward in the Fiesta Bowl. Still, Notre Dame has played well of late, while Stanford has had two straight very suspect games right here down on the farm. This is going to be a huge game for both sides.
#7 Houston Cougars (11-0 SU, 9-2 ATS) @ Tulsa Golden Hurricane (8-3 SU, 7-4 ATS)
Spread: Houston -3, Total: 75
Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium, Tulsa, OK – Friday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The Cougars are just two wins away from the BCS, but this is going to be their toughest test of the season. Tulsa has only lost three games this year, and those losses were against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Boise State. Since that point, the Golden Hurricane have been absolutely remarkable, and they know that they can spoil the party for Houston this week. Remember something else with this game… the winner is going to take on the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles next week in the Conference USA Championship Game. The Cougs could go from a team that is ranked in the Top 10 in the land to one that doesn't even win its conference crown, just like what happened to Boise State a few weeks ago.
Wyoming Cowboys (7-3 SU, 6-4 ATS) @ #8 Boise State Broncos (9-1 SU, 4-6 ATS)
Spread: Boise State -32.5, Total: 61
Bronco Stadium, Boise, ID – Saturday, 2:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Thanks to all of the big time upsets of last week, Boise State has a shot to make a case as a BCS at large bid even though there is no way that it can automatically get into the elite games. It's still a long shot, but there's a point that the Broncos, if they can get back into the Top 5 in the country, will really force the hands of the bowl selection committees. Wyoming is already bowl eligible, and it has had a fantastic year. Sure, there aren't a whole heck of a lot of big wins, but the Cowboys have overachieved just to be guaranteed of a winning season.
Oregon State Beavers (3-8 SU, 4-7 ATS) @ #9 Oregon Ducks (9-2 SU, 6-4-1 ATS)
Spread: Oregon -28, Total: 63.5
Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The Civil War is one of the oldest rivalries in college football, and this year's edition of this game has a lot on the line as always. Head Coach Mike Riley could find this to be his final game with the Beavs, as a 3-9 season just wouldn't cut it to keep his job. The Ducks are coming off of that bad loss to the USC Trojans that took them out of the National Championship picture. That being said, a win would still clinch the Pac-12 North, and it would keep them alive for the Rose Bowl. Head Coach Chip Kelly knows that the margin for error is nil at this point, as just one more slip will send the U of O to the Holiday Bowl instead of the BCS.
#10 Michigan State Spartans (9-2 SU, 7-4 ATS) @ Northwestern Wildcats (6-5 SU, 5-6 ATS)
Spread: Michigan State -6.5, Total: 51.5
Ryan Field, Evanston, IL – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
With the Big Ten fielding so many bowl teams this year, Northwestern really needs that one more victory to stand out above the rest of the barely eligible squads. That being said, this could be a brutally bad spot for the Spartans. They just clinched their division and know that next week they will be taking on either Penn State or Wisconsin in the first Big Ten Championship Game. The truth of the matter is that Michigan State knows that this game doesn't mean much. The real prize comes next week regardless of how this one pans out. Don't be shocked if there is an upset in the cards.
Iowa State Cyclones (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) @ #11 Oklahoma Sooners (8-2 SU, 6-4 ATS)
Spread: Oklahoma -28, Total: 61.5
Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman, OK – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Iowa State made it to a bowl game last week by beating the Cowboys in its final home game of the season. The pressure is absolutely off at this point for the Cyclones, and the end result could be a terrible showing on the road against the Sooners. Oklahoma was upset last week as well by Baylor, and the end result is that it needs to win these last two games to make it to the BCS. Anything less, and it is going to be awfully difficult to justify any of the big bowl games taking a 9-3 Oklahoma team that has losses against presumably Texas Tech, Baylor, and Oklahoma State.
#19 Penn State Nittany Lions (9-2 SU, 3-7-1 ATS) @ #12 Wisconsin Badgers (9-2 SU, 6-4-1 ATS)
Spread: Wisconsin -14.5, Total: 49
Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, WI – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The odd year in the Big Ten finally comes to a close on Saturday, as Penn State and Wisconsin battle for a spot in the first Big Ten Championship Game against Michigan State. It has been a truly tumultuous year for the Nittany Lions, who were rocked by a sex scandal two weeks ago, and it seems to be amazing that they are in control of their own destiny for the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin has had its chances all season long, and it has failed in a number of them. This is the ultimate chance in the final home game of the year for the Badgers. Anything less than a convincing win would be brutally disappointing.
#17 Clemson Tigers (9-2 SU, 7-4 ATS) @ #13 South Carolina Gamecocks (9-2 SU, 5-6 ATS)
Spread: South Carolina -4, Total: 49.5
Williams Brice Stadium, Columbia, SC – Saturday, 7:45 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Clemson and South Carolina have one of the most bitter rivalries in all of college football, and though the stakes really aren't that high in terms of bowl games and national power, the recruiting war is always big in the Palmetto State. The Tigers know that they are playing in the ACC Championship Game next week, but you wouldn't have known it last week with that brutal loss at NC State in which the team was dominated. The Gamecocks are on the fringe of a Top 10 team in the game, but it will take a win this time around against the Tigers. Keep a close eye on WR Sammy Watkins, one of the best freshman in the nation, who missed last week's loss to the Wolfpack. He is probable for this one, but his injury could hamper him.
#14 Georgia Bulldogs (9-2 SU, 7-4 ATS) @ #21 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-3 SU, 5-5-1 ATS)
Spread: Georgia -6, Total: 54.5
Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta, GA – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets will be bragging for supremacy in the Peach State. Again, there's not truly much on the line for either side in the grand scheme of things. Georgia Tech probably has the most to gain by winning this game. The Jackets can maybe get to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl with a victory, but the drop down the ACC bowl ladder could be a huge one. UGA knows that it has its chance to play for a spot in the BCS next week against one of the three teams from the SEC West, and when push comes to shove, that should have the Dawgs' attention a heck of a lot more than the trip to Atlanta. However, we have to remember that Georgia has the third longest winning streak in the nation at nine games.
Ohio State Buckeyes (6-5 SU, 5-6 ATS) @ #16 Michigan Wolverines (9-2 SU, 8-3 ATS)
Spread: Michigan -7, Total: 44.5
Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
It's the rivalry game of all rivalry games in the Big House this week, and the stakes are awfully high between the Buckeyes and the Wolverines. Ohio State is normally the team that is trying to best Michigan to get into the Rose Bowl or the BCS National Championship Game, but this time around, it is the BCS bowl hopes of the Wolverines that is on the line. A win and Michigan will almost certainly finish the season in the Top 14 in the nation and be one of the handful of teams that the bowl committees of the BCS bowl games can invite. A loss would, at best, send Big Blue to the Capital One Bowl, and most likely significantly further down the bowl ladder than that.
Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-6 SU, 6-5 ATS) @ #20 Baylor Bears (7-3 SU, 5-4 ATS)
Spread: Baylor -13, Total: 78
Dallas Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX – Saturday, 7:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Remember when Texas Tech was ranked in the Top 25 in the country off of its road victory against Oklahoma? My, where those days have gone… Now, the Red Raiders need to pull off the upset against Baylor just to qualify for a bowl game. The Bears still have two games left to play, and if enough happens in that period of time, there is still a remote chance that the BCS might be willing to give a flyer to them as the final at large team (especially if Houston gets knocked off and TCU doesn't get into the Top 16). Not only does Baylor have to win this game though, it has to win impressively to really have a decent case going into the last week of the season.
Iowa Hawkeyes (7-4 SU, 5-6 ATS) @ #22 Nebraska Cornhuskers (8-3 SU, 3-7 ATS)
Spread: Nebraska -9.5, Total: 53.5
Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE – Friday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
It feels awfully weird to see the Cornhuskers playing a game the day after Thanksgiving and it not coming against Colorado… That doesn't mean that the stakes aren't high, though. Both of these teams are still hoping to latch on to one of the top bowl games in the Big Ten this year, with the Capital One Bowl and the Outback Bowl surely looking on at both of these teams. In all likelihood, the winner will be vacationing in the Sunshine State this winter, while the loser is probably going to be booted out of Florida and sent to a significantly lesser bowl game.
Pittsburgh Panthers (5-5 SU, 5-5 ATS) @ #23 West Virginia Mountaineers (7-3 SU, 5-5 ATS)
Spread: West Virginia -6.5, Total: 57
Mountaineer Field, Morgantown, WV – Friday, 7:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
It's amazing to think that the Panthers can still end up in the BCS if they win their final two games of the season, but they can also end up out of the bowl picture all together with losses in these final two games. WVU is in a lot better shape and is the only team in the Big East that is ranked in the Top 25, but a loss in this one will end that hope for likely the rest of the season. Pittsburgh needs one more to go bowling, but this is going to be a tough one without RB Ray Graham in the fold. We've seen some wild results in the Backyard Brawl though, so absolutely nothing should be taken for granted.

Poll: What does Google buying Motorola mean for Apple?
Holy heck! Waking up to the news of Google buying Motorola Mobility just shows you how fast our industry is moving and changing. But what does it mean for Apple, iPhone and iPad? Will Google really continue to run Motorola "as is" without much change, and Droids and Xooms will just come out again as they came out before? Or will Google start to copy the Apple model more and give Motorola exclusive Nexus handsets with much better, and even more competitive integration? Or will HTC, Samsung, and other Android OEMs feel screwed by this whole deal and start looking more seriously at Windows Phone or maybe even webOS, resulting in less choice for consumers on the Android side?
What do you think, TiPb Nation? Will Motorola for one welcome their new overlords and remain status quo, or is this the beginning of a new galactic order when it comes to iPhone and iPad competition? Vote in the poll above and give me your analysis in the comments below!

Poll: What does Google buying Motorola mean for Apple?
I think the only people that should be scared are the workers at HTC and Samsung. Give it a couple years and Google will have apple's strategy mimicked.
Thats one way this could go. There rare really only two endgames that can see coming from this deal in the long term.
1) Google lets Motorola (Which has been in the red quarter after quarter and is one of the Android's worst producers) die the slow death it was always going to, while keeping the patents as it's reward.
2) They inject more money and, by sheer necessity, preferential treatment is given to give themselves a "leg up" over their new found competition.
I think the former is far more likely than the later. They've been very upfront about the fact that this was primarily about the patents, and I'm sure they've given some sort of back room assurances to the other oems that this will help them protect the "openness" of the platform.
One things for sure, things will be a very interesting for the next couple of years in this space.
Side note: Yet another reason why my eyes glaze over whenever i see the words: Analyst predicts X in 2015.
Agreed that a version of #1 seems the most likely outcome. Unless Google has gotten some Apple-style vertical integration religion and largely closes off Android, there is no way Motorola's Android business is going to be worth antagonizing the rest of the Android manufacturers. I doubt they will kill Motorola's cel business totally, but they have a very fine line to walk here.
Well to an extend this will make other manufacturers move toward Windows. Think about it I'm Samsung, I use Android, you just bought a hardware manufacturer what does that tell me. I need to be careful, now Google's Nexus phones will be handled by Motorola, there will be a level of favoritism toward Motorola devices, etc.
That's silly for a few reasons:
1.) WP7 isn't gaining, it's losing. Why would you leave the OS that is brining you cash in order to get on board with an OS that is disappearing slowly? Makes no sense any way you look at it.
2.) Let's say Google did start making phones. Do you honestly think it's going to affect anything? It will be just like the Nexus phones. The geeks and random folks will buy them. Samsung will keep selling. HTC will keep making profits. The world will keep turning.
This will do nothing but give Google patents they wanted at a cheap price and give them, probably, a concrete Nexus maker.
I mean, everyone already says stock Android is ugly. So why would everyone flock to buy an "ugly" device? Other OEMs have no worries whatsoever.
The germ of a legitimate complaint here is if Google starts giving Moto phones early or preferential access to Android features. It is one thing to come out with an occasional Nexus X, or to pick a partner -- ironically, Motorola -- to debut the first Honeycomb tablet, and work more closely with them to get that first product out the door. It is quite another to mass produce devices that compete against your partners.
Samsung, HTC, and Sony are all saying they like the acquisition right now, but, if Google were to start giving the Moto division any information that consistently gave them a leg up over other Android makers in the market, those other makers would have a legitimate reason to kvetch and/or jump ship. Google's upcoming behavior will be an acid test for exactly how open Android really is.
The other (major) Android OEMs released statements saying they were completely in favor of the acquisition.
Moto is already copying Apple and still losing big time. Google can't help much if it really wants to compete.
More likely, it just wants to keep copying with defensive patents, but most ODMs will flee if they know what's good for them.
Maybe Google buying Samsung & Moto might cause Steve some concerns.
Yeah, Steve Jobs was scared alright, all the while adding $6-10B per quarter to the already bulging treasury chest of theirs. Ha!
How is Motorola copying Apple? Details please. Moto was making phones while Apple was barely making computers. Now you want to talk fear, I suspect when Google tells Apple they can't use ________ technology because it's a Moto patented property, unless of course you cough up $$$, these comments on this blog will go from rage to fear & all moods in between real quick.
honestly it would depend how Google moves forward. Motorolla hasn't been relevant in the space since the StarTac so it's not like they bought a topping the charts company like Apple. Now with Android running on Motorolla phones and Google in charge of the phones if they make it more iPhone like in the way they run it like only 1-3 models with consistent specs and pushing OS updates quickly and independent of the carriers it will give them a huge boost. It will give the iPhone a run for their money and the consumer will benefit with better features and better prices. However what does that mean for the OEMs? The thing I take away from it is how Google was talking about other companies using patents to sue instead of innovating and now BAM they now hold the most mobile patents hmmmm wonder how their tune will change when the first law suit goes out?
Congratulations on a silly statement... You say Moto has not been relevant since the Startac? How about the Razr? Oh & the Droid, both sold well into the multiple millions. But hey you got your opinion & unfortunately there are facts that get in the way.
prolly more patent battles, but other than that, everything will be the same.
That's one way it could play out. The other way is that Google allows the Motorola Mobility patents to be applied to any manufacturer using Android.
I don't think this will change competition or the amount of devices. Everyone must remember, Google does not actually sell anything; they sell ads. So them buying Moto isn't like rolling that into the fictional Google Hardware Business and slapping the Moto logo on the devices.
I say desperate because this strikes me as a Microsoft like move. IMO they threw a wad of cash at Moto just because they could, to get patents. In that respect this could be very complex. What will they do with these patents? Also, aren't there pending cases against Moto (v. Microsoft?) which could change that dynamic as well.
This battle gets more entertaining by the minute.
Should we start a pool? Who buys who next to up the ante in this arms race?
It is no more desperate than the Rockstar (Apple/MS) purchase of the Nortel patents just to keep them out of Google's hands.
And that is the problem -- Apple's group wastes 4.5 billion to buy patents so "valuable" that the company holding them went bankrupt. Google then throws 12 billion at a company they (likely) otherwise would not have any interest in buying. In both cases, companies are tossing good money at assets that have little value other than in a legal pissing match. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have Apple spend that 2 billion on advancing its radio design, or Google spend some of that 12 on design talent. But they can't, because the game is rigged so they have to hold billions in reserve against these threats. Patent wars sap the resources of all sides, to no apparent benefit.
The next round in this arms race is InterDigital [link], and investors have been counting on an expensive battle between Apple and Google for its 18,000 patents. InterDigital stock is down over 20% this morning after Google/Motorola; you can draw your own conclusions as to the skewed weight patent chests themselves, rather than the underlying innovations, are given.
I don't think this means much at all. The reality is, that Apple has a several year lead in hitting the ball right to where the public is standing.... and the public has caught it, each and every time. When you are so on target with manufacturing products that everybody wants, like Apple has been for the last several years. It's going to take a whole lot a catching up, to even be in the same ball game.
So, the fact that Google has now purchased Motorola, really doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot. Even so, they'll need to create so many unbelievably great products, in such a very short time and sell them at a price that's so unbelievably cheap, just to get people to even consider trying something new or different, that I just don't see it happening in any way that hurts Apple for many years to come. That's just how far ahead in the game, Apple is in my opinion.
Google had to do something, and this is a surprising and potentially very smart move on their part. Lawyers will keep making money hand over fist, not doubt, but Google made a big move to support Android. They are also now in the hardware business, and that should be interesting to watch. Personally I am hoping this drives competition, pushing Apple.
Google is about to make some really good phones. But they will still have the crappy OS on them. The only reason that I would consider an Android phone is because of hardware and the ability to send any person in my contacts directly to voicemail. That's it. The OS is still super buggy like a beta. I've tried every major android phone on every major US carrier in an attempt to give them a real chance. It's not even close to the smoothness of iOS. It's still a good move for Google. It just really shows you who they're watching. They know that nobody does it like Steve Jobs. So they are doing it like Steve Jobs! I can't really hate on them for wanting to make sure that quality is kept to a certain level on Android phones. If you want something done well then you do it yourself. Smart. This really won't hurt companies with their own following like HTC who has built a cult following with their Sense interfaces. At first! But they will eventually fall so far behind Motorola because Moto won't have to throw anything on top of their releases. They will drop new OS versions faster than ALL the other manufacturers and some of their phones won't get new versions at all. Google says that they are cutting down on fragmentation but I don't see how this could do anything but make it worse. HTC better make a deal with Microsoft. It's gonna get a little ugly once their customers realize that having Sense isn't worth being 3 updates behind Motos customers.
Ladies & gentlemen... I present the richest mobile phone buyer ever! He/she says I've tried every major Android phone on every major carrier.... Yeah sure you have
That's terrible logic, SockRolid. I don't see any of the "fandroids" as having flip-flopped. They're just saying that given the current system, Google/Android might very well be on better footing with the acquisition of Motorola's library of patents and history. They're in a position to defend themselves in this messed up environment, whether it be defensively or with the potential offensive use of the patents.
I know that I still think the patent system is totally screwed in some respects.
Nobody's flip-flopped, despite your assertions.
I like it when individuals get together and share opinions. Great website, continue the good work!

172 Running Rough at Idle
172 Running Rough at Idle
Today I was getting ready to take my 77 C-172 for a quick out and back. As I was taxiing I noticed that the airplane was starting to run rough. I did a Mag Check and everything checked fine. When I did my mixture check it shook pretty good before it dropped off. I taxied back to the hanger and pulled the plugs-no fowled plugs. Did a compression check it was in the mid 70's. So I ran it again. This time I noticed that at idle my #4 cylinder was cold. When I get it above 1200 RPM it comes to life and starts to read like the rest. When I go back to idle (or below 1200 RPM) it starts running rough again and the temp starts to drop. Any ideas? Someone told me that I have a valve sticking at lower RPM and to add some marvel mystery oil until it breaks free. I know there are other threads out there about this. But if you suggest it do you put it in the oil or gas?
Anybody else heard of this. Good Compression, Lifters look good (pulled the cap), plugs are good (even moved them to different cylinders to be sure), idle it sputters and pops and #4 is cold, above 1200 everything works as advertised.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
Have you checked the ignition lead to that cylinder. It is rare but I have seen instances where they were breaking down and wouldn't fire at low rpm's. This is probably not the problem but it sounds as if you have checked everything else.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
It sounds as if your IA is on to the problem. Thanks for posting the follow-up. It helps everyone to have an answer in the event they have a similar problem. I am an A&P but only work on my own plane and I learn from this forum every day.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
Yeah I am a new A&P. I worked fighters my whole life and this prop stuff drives me nuts HA! Not to mention its my airplane. I just wanted to see if anybody else had any ideas. They all say the same thing, try the Marvel Mystery Oil and if that doesnt break it free in a couple of hours then we will have to tear into the cylinder. I did a "g**gle" search and found that about 75% of the people out there agree with that. Even though it isnt FAA approved.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
Your deluding yourself by using the MMO..If it is indeed a sticking valve that is causing the problem you are risking a bent push rod, a cracked push rod tube, loss of engine oil leading to crash and burn. A compression check sould verify that a valve is sticking.I would also check for induction leaks.
The valve can be removed and the guide very lightly reamed without demounting the cylinder assenbly. I'm sure there are threads on this forum and others covering the problem.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
Hi All;
Just my two cents, but I would take a close look at the magneto and harness. The units generate a spark as they spin, and don't work efficiently below about 500 RPM. There is a chance that a worn or failing component in the magneto may be causing it not to generate a spark until the RPM is 1200 or better on that cylinder.
Also, the 77 C-172 has the H2AD engine with the dual magneto. There are some ADs on this unit that require regular inspections. You might want to verify these ADs have been complied with. Also, most A&Ps have a way to bench test a magneto for proper function. If the AD for the impulse coupling inspection hasn't been complied with, the unit will need to be removed anyway.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
I agreee with jplaxton, Check out the magnetos. If it is a dual magneto, dont bother messing with it, send it out to a reputible repair shop. The single mags are much easier to work on provided you have the proper overhaul manuals. Good luck and let us know how you make out.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
Check out Lycoming S.B. 388 and S.B. 301 get the latest revision.I believe they are 388B ands 301C Have your local A and P with the proper 388 tools accomplish this for you. This will tell you the condition with cold engine of your valve guides and the valve wobble in the guides. The parallel valve cylinders are easier to accomplish this on than the angle valve versions.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
CESSNADON hit on the first thing that I would check, An Induction Leak... These usually only show up at idle or below 1k rpm. One other note, if the dual mag shows signs of burned points, change the condensors located in the harness cap as these are ALWAYS overlooked and usually are problematic.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
I have to disagree with some of the comments about mags. Ignition problems generally manifest themselves at higher power/rpm,higher humidity and higher altitude.
This is because higher power/rpm creates higher cylinder pressure which increases the resistance across the spark plug gap encouraging electrical current to flow to ground by other available means or not flow at all if the mag is not generating enough power.
Other available means for the current to flow to ground include, bad plug wires, carbon tracking on the distributor block inside the mag or at the plug connectors. These "leaks" will get worse at altitude because the thinner air provide less resistance. Humidity and moisture will also make matters worse (any who ever owned and austin can attest to this). But generally the symtom will be engin runs fine at idle but misfires at higher power settings and/or high altitude.
Finally while it is true the output of the mag is proportional to its rpm meaning the faster it spins the more power it produces, the same mag produces power for each cylinder so if there was not enough power from the mag for one cylinder, there isn't for the others either. This would end to create random misfires of all cylinders rather than just one. Also even the d2000 apart from the input drive, is a dual ignition system. For the engine to run rough at idle both ignition systems must fail on the same cylinder.
Air leak is a possibility but the 172 induction system is not typically a high problem area. Also remember that the induction system is interconnected between cylinders and the single carb, so a leak anywhere in the system will cause all cylinders to run lean both at idle and higher rpm notwithstanding frictional losses.
I suspect the stuck or burnt valve (or seat) is the culprit.
Re: 172 Running Rough at Idle
Its funny to read posts that all of you have left. This is the exact same arguements we had at the hanger trying to figure out this problem. We finally made a command decision and despite the good compression check started prepping the cylinder for removal. Just before we got started a friend walked up and said "I know that it sounds like a valve, but its a whole lot quicker to check that Mag first". That actually made sense. So we pulled the mag and sure enough we had 1 solid bad set of points and the other was on its way. Just got her cranked up last night again and she is purring like a kitten.
Thanks for all the help!

Mr. Osagie Ogunbor, Corporate Affairs Manager of Intel Corporation, West Africa in this interview reveals why the firm is training fresh graduates on technology and entrepreneurship to enable them set up businesses rather than seek for jobs as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Princewill Ekwujuru reports.
Why is Intel engaging in this training venture?
As you can see from today's training, this is a bit different from what Intel is typically known for. Before now, Intel was engaged with training of teachers. Indeed in the last five years, we have trained over a hundred thousand teachers in Nigeria and over Ten million globally. So that used to be our focus, but now, we are beginning to see that the reality on ground is that there are other areas that need attention.
In Nigeria, you know there is a huge problem of unemployment, there is a huge problem of social restiveness. We believe that the root cause of some of these things is the fact that youths are not properly equipped with the right skills especially in the use of technology in the 21st century workplace and business environment.
We therefore thought it was a worthwhile decision to use our platform to provide some sort of Technology and Entrepreneurial Training for these youths who are just coming out of college and that's how we came about the training for youth corps members. This is a pilot scheme starting in Lagos and over the months and years it is going to become a National programme.
From what you have just said, there appears to be recognition of the critical role in the case of technology, how important is entrepreneurship in this phase? What do you think the training will bring to the nation particularly?
Well typically, entrepreneurship is everything to them at this moment. They are coming out of Universities and they are at a critical point in life where they have to take life changing decisions; Are they going to look for jobs, Are they going to set up their own businesses, What are they going to do?
Now we know that hundreds of thousands of graduates are coming out every year. We also know that we have very few vacancies and job opportunities for them. What that means therefore is that year in, year out, you are having hundreds of thousands of graduates who have nothing to do.
So we are saying to them that rather than have a fixation on looking for jobs, there is an option to actually set up their own business, to be an employer of labour rather than being a figure looking for work. So that's the first option. The second option is that even when you decide to work in a formal environment, you need to be equipped to be able to survive in that formal environment.
In those days, when you start a job, you are given pen and paper and files, today, when you start a new job, you are given a computer either a desktop or a laptop. Today's graduates have to be technologically equipped to be able to function in that kind of workspace.
So it means that even if you want to work, if you don't have the kind of technological training which we are giving now, you cannot fit in. If you were taught in your University using analogue method, sitting down and taking notes, you come to the office and you don't know how to boot a computer, you will not be employable and that's a critical problem.
We've got graduates who are not employable. So what we are doing is equipping them to be one, employable and two, Should they not want to work, have the necessary skills to be able to set up businesses and run it.
We have got loads of them who have Uncles and relatives who can actually give them seed capital to start-up businesses. But again, do they have the basic know-how to run these businesses profitably so that they themselves are able to take care of themselves and even employ more people, the economy gets better for it, more people are employed, tax income increases for government and the economy is better for it.
Sir, you said at the beginning that the training is to come in phases, my question is will there be an end like a specific year when all these technology and entrepreneurship training will come to a halt? What is the target? In terms of number, how many students are we looking at?
We are just starting, so we can't be talking of stopping. Our focus is not really the numbers. Our focus is on the impact. Now we've started in Lagos, we are going to go from Lagos to the entire South West and then to the South East, and then we scale up.
What we are doing is to have a pool of master trainers, Senior Master Trainers who have been trained across the country. So, as we scale to those parts of the country, those master trainers will conduct the training in their own locality. So ultimately, our target is to have an Intel technology & Entrepreneurship Trainer, in every State of the Federation where there is National Youth Service.
Will this training be on specific areas or different areas?
Basically, the curriculum for entrepreneurship is basic. It's not an MBA as such what it does is to teach you the rudiments of setting up a business. What you need to do before setting up a business, what are the empirical meters that you must look into, what informs the choice of business you want to do?
You know people just come out of school and say 'well I think that baking is something I want to go into and it's my passion and I must go into it. But in their locality, it might not be the most profitable business. So there are empirical indices to determine that. What is the competition for that business in your neighbourhood?
What skill do you have, what is your unique selling point, what must you put in place so that you can become competitive? These are the basic skills we are teaching people and it's not like they probably don't know, but it's just that we are bringing it to their consciousness now.
And when you bring it to their consciousness, they begin to realize it. We have entered into partnerships with relevant NGO's to enter these corps members into a business plan competition so when they are through with it, the final product of this training is that each person gets a chance to produce a business plan of their own business. They submit the business plan into the contest and 1,200 people stand a chance of up to winning 10m naira each, courtesy of the Federal Government.
So first of all, you are being trained in Technology and Entrepreneurship, you then have a chance to even get the capital to start the business.
There should be some bottlenecks in all these, what are the challenges looking at entrepreneurship in Nigeria, what do these entrepreneurs face?
The Basic challenge is the know-how of running a business. The general misconception is that capital is what the problem is. A lot of people will tell you they want to set up a business but they don't have the capital. I can say to you that the problem is not even that of capital because we've got so many people who set up businesses when they had capital to set it up, ten years down the line, the business has gone down the drain.
**So I think the major challenge is that all kinds of people just become entrepreneurs over night without any form of training. Now I recognize that there are people who have entrepreneurial skills in-born in them, but again, entrepreneurs can be made and that's what we want to encourage.
Another challenge is probably also the willingness of our youth corps members to take advantage of this program, because we have a bunch of youths who are sometimes unwilling to pay the price of success and we hope that over time, when they begin to see the progress of these ones that we have taken up, and that results are being achieved, more people will begin to take part in it. But I must say that the response from those that are being trained now, is very positive because, they are very happy.
What has Intel put in place to follow-up on these young entrepreneurs?
Follow-up is actually an integral part of the way the program was designed. **We have a process in place to have a database of all those that we train, so we will monitor them and what stage they are in their business, should they require further training, we will be there to hook them up with the right partners who will be able to add value at such stages.
So we don't pretend to have the ability to mid-wife the entire process till when they become successful entrepreneurs, but we have the capacity to, at every juncture facilitate their meeting partners that may be of help in that regard. We are in partnership with the Henshaw Foundation, which will assist the trainees enter into the YOUWIN business plan competition, where they stand a chance to get a government grant to set up their businesses if they come up with impressive business plans.
For Technology and Entrepreneurship, what is the level playing ground in your opinion and as an expert in this field?
Technology is a means to an end. Marketing dynamics today, for instance have become such that digital marketing, social media marketing have become imperatives for you to reach target audiences for your business. 15-20 years ago, if you wanted to advertise, the word advertising was synonymous with radio, TV and press, today, online is taking over. If you are a young entrepreneur and you do not understand computer technology to the extent that you can use it as a tool to enhance your business, you are behind.
That is where technology comes in. If you cannot build a website, where anybody in the world can access your business, buy from you, sell to you online, without geographical barriers coming into play, you are way behind. If you do not have the skills to send an email, basic simple things like this, send an email, do a power-point presentation of what your business can offer to a prospective customer, investors, then you are behind.
So these are the technological skills that we are giving these people who are coming out of school because we realize that not all universities in Nigeria can equip them adequately with these skills. So chances are that you will be a more efficient entrepreneur when you have these skills.
At the end of this year, what benefit will this add to the economy?
A: Well, thinking at the end of the year is a bit short termist and very close, but I will say that ultimately, let's look at a three to five year time span. We can begin to say people who are being trained in this program are beginning to actually set up businesses of their own we can begin to track those who decide to work and have become better employees, because I need you to understand that it's not all about entrepreneurs in the strict sense of setting up businesses.
It's all about equipping youths to decide what you want to do. Whatever you decide to do, you are better off for it. If you decide to go into business, you are a better entrepreneur if you decide to work in an office place you are able to use the tools that technology gives you to become a more efficient employee in your workplace. So over the next 3-5 years, we will have that pool of young men who are excelling as employees. That's where we want to go.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga volleyball team's senior libero Paula Passmore was named Defensive Player of the Week and Briana Reid was named Freshman of the Week by the Southern Conference Monday afternoon. This is Reid's first weekly honor while it is Passmore's third of the season.
Passmore and Reid helped the Mocs to a 1-1 weekend with a 3-1 win over Davidson Saturday while dropping a 0-3 match to Georgia Southern Sunday evening at Maclellan Gym. UTC is now 10-15 overall and 4-4 in the SoCon, garnering five more wins than all of last season. Chattanooga is currently sitting in fourth place, just one game out of second place in the SoCon North.
Passmore totaled 48 digs over the weekend, averaging 6.286 digs per set. The senior has now recorded double-digit digs in each match played this season. Her 28 digs against Davidson and 20 digs against Georgia Southern are the 13th and 14th matches this season. The libero has collected 20-or-more digs in a match. Passmore averaged 6.857 digs per set-- .657 points higher than her NCAA-third-best 6.20 digs per set.
Reid was outstanding on offense with 25 kills over the two-match weekend while also tallying 19 digs against the Wildcats and Eagles. Reid recorded her second career double-double Saturday afternoon against Davidson with 12 kills and 12 digs. The outside hitter's 12 kills against Davidson and 13 kills against Georgia Southern marks the first time she has recorded double-digit kills in back-to-back matches over a single weekend. Reid has now collected double-digit kills in her past three matches, along with coming up with 39 digs in her past three matches.
The Mocs travel to Greenville, S.C., Saturday for a 2 p.m. match with the Furman Paladins. UTC plays the single match over the weekend before traveling to Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday for a 7 p.m. meeting with the Samford Bulldogs.

Grilled Pork Chops with Oven Roasted Tomatoes and Smoked Mozzarella, Served with Mushroom Risotto and Brocollini
Oven roasting concentrates the flavor of fresh garden tomatoes and gives them a caramelized flavor. They need a concentrated flavor to play off the earthy zing of Maplebrook Farm cherry-wood smoked mozzarella. When you unwrap this remarkable cheese you'll smell what I'm talking about before you even taste it. The pork chops are soaked in a brine before grilling to make them retain juices, and to absorb the flavors of garlic, brown sugar and summer savory. The mushroom risotto flows onto the plate and the pork chops are served on top and is both sauce for the meat and starch for the meal. Crisp brocollini provides a textural counterpart to the other elements. Serve with Viognier or an oaky Chardonnay, if you prefer beer try a frosty, well-hopped IPA. Continue reading

British hospitals which screen people for the defective gene that causes cystic fibrosis may have to pay substantial fees to the institutions which discovered and sequenced the gene, and which have applied for a patent on it. These worries emerged after Andrew Read, a doctor at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester, received a demand for $6000 to use the gene in his work screening for cystic fibrosis. He may also be charged royalties on each test he performs.
Francis Collins of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Lap-Chee Tsui of the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children discovered and sequenced the cystic fibrosis gene in 1989. Their institutions applied jointly for a patent on the gene in the hope that they would be able to demand royalty and licence fees from commercial laboratories that offer to screen potential carriers.

America Is in Need of a Moral Bailout

The humanities, the discipline that forces us to stand back and ask the broad moral questions of meaning and purpose, that challenges the validity of structures, that trains us to be self-reflective and critical of all cultural assumptions, have withered.

Open Space and Urban Nodes: A Club Sandwich or Bowl of Grapes?
New urbanist conservation development pairs clustered activity nodes with open space preservation. If these nodes don't integrate with neighbors and transportation networks, we get a "bowl of grapes" -- disconnected development and lost ecological potential. The alternative: a "club sandwich" where nodes and open space form interconnected networks. What are the tools for achieving this vision? How do we make the sum more than the parts?

Head to HandAuthor:
Tyson, Keith
Publisher: Westreich Art Advisory Services, Thea
Summary: "Often the process requires trying to find a suitable structure to capture a complex idea…a map of the entire universe as an architectural structure, all eleven dimensions of space, the world as it would have been if one little thing had been different, an algorithm for creating art proposals…." -Keith Tyson Head to Handrepresents a selective survey of Keith Tyson's drawings from the past eight years. It includes... both those drawings where the hand of the artist gives formal expression to an idea that has been already mentally charted, and those drawings where the hand etches out a conceptual space for the head to move into new territory and in unanticipated directions. Though most artists use drawing as a means of transforming mental thought into a physical manifestation, the scope of Tyson's use of drawing to define areas of investigation is uniquely adventurous and ambitious. It is the process of arriving at these proposals that defines the centrality of drawing for Keith Tyson's work, and one that is made evidently manifest in this rare artist's book published by Thea Westreich and Ethan Wagner.

Sioux City, an important agricultural processing and shipping center on the Missouri River, serves the "tri-state" area of northwest Iowa, northeast Nebraska, and South Dakota. This quiet but industrious city was once a major meatpacking and stockyards center. Food processing is still a major economic activity, and leftover historic interest has been preserved and brought forward with a few good museums and historic areas. There are other small but notable arts amenities for a town this size.
Cost of living and home prices are among the lowest in the state. The economy is stable but shows little sign of growth, and there isn't much to do in the area. Omaha is about 80 miles to the south, making Sioux City relatively less isolated than other towns in the upper Midwest and Great Plains region.
The city is located along the Missouri River in an area of flat, river valleys and rolling, mostly agricultural land. The business district lies in the river valley and the residential sections, for the most part, spread over nearby hills. Located in the center of the continent and in the northern half of the Great Plains, the climate of Sioux City is typically continental and subject to the movements of weather systems. Under normal conditions winters are cold and summers are warm and humid but not excessively hot. Most precipitation arrives from April to September. Temperature and precipitation fluctuate considerably by season and from year to year, as occurs elsewhere in the northern plains. First freeze is early October, last is late May.
As of 2014, North Sioux City's population is 2,505 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 23.46 percent.
The median home cost in North Sioux City is $113,500. Home appreciation the last year has been 4.80 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, North Sioux City's cost of living is 11.20% Lower than the U.S. average.
North Sioux City public schools spend $9,457 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 15.9 students per teacher in North Sioux City.

But, yeah, of course Walt's cancer is back. It's terminal lung cancer; he always just bought himself some time. And speaking of time: Vince Gilligan isn't going to waste it filling the screen with non-pertinent issues, especially in this precious, final stretch of storytelling opportunities.
And are you at all familiar with the story of Icarus and his father, Daedalus*? Ol' Daedalus tells his son to not fly too close to the sun. And, of course, what does Icarus do? He glides over, well, ALL...melting the wax from the wings that his father had crafted for him, resulting in his falling from the sky and drowning in the sea. (If you're trying to swap Jesse into the role of Icarus and Walt into that of Daedalus, you're doing it wrong.)Quote:

Kaytee ElectroNectar Concentrate mimics flower nectar and attracts hummingbirds! With added electrolytes and no artificial colors, Kaytee Electronectar is just like flowers and is naturally clear. Why clear? Because hummingbirds are attracted to the color of your feeder, not the color of the food -- and clear is better for the birds.
Hummingbirds have tremendous amounts of energy, strength and endurance. To keep up their active lifestyles, they have to consume half their body weight each and every day. This can equal the nectar of up to 1,000 flowers a day! Kaytee ElectroNectar is scientifically developed to perfectly mimic the nectar of flowers better than other nectars or homemade sugar water, so your local hummingbirds get the very best meal possible.

Collier Library offers programs to help jobseekers learn computer skills
"What does a window mean?"
"Single click, double click — what's the difference?"
"Can a hard drive ever fill up?"
It was questions such as these, addressed to instructor Marv Weisberg, that made it evident this computer class was geared toward "newbies," people with little or no computer experience.
One of the biggest obstacles standing between would-be workers and gainful employment is a lack of computer skills. The Collier County Public Library has inaugurated a new program, called Collier Connects, designed to give job seekers the basic computer knowledge they need to get hired.
"We see this all the time at the library," said David Chalick, branch manager of the Golden Gate and Golden Gate Estates libraries. "People walk in and don't know how to apply for a job online, or have no idea how to write a résumé on the computer. We want to help people looking for jobs, or for better jobs."
Chalick has taught computer classes for 10 years at the library. The sessions, he said, are always full, and usually have a waiting list.
"I thought, let's just really go for it. We're flooding the market with free computer classes," he said.
Chalick received a $27,000 federal grant for the program. On Nov. 13, the first group of nine students sat down in front of new HP laptops in a room at the East Naples library.
For many in the group, mostly in their 40s and older, it was their first experience with a computer. Weisberg spent time teaching basic terminology, talking about hardware and software, the importance of surge protectors, and why you don't use the power switch to turn the computer off.
What: The Collier County Library is offering basic computer skills and job preparation classes for free
PC basics:
■ 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 5 Estates Library, 1266 Golden Gate Blvd. W., Naples.
■ 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 9Immokalee Library, 417 N. First St., Immokalee.
Internet basics:
■ 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 12 Estates Library
■ 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 16 Immokalee Library
Email basics:
■ 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21 East Naples Library, 8787 U.S. 41 E, Naples,
■ 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 19 Estates Library
■ 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 23, Immokalee Library
Career Assessment workshop:
■ 3 to 5 p.m. Jan. 8 Estates Library
Résumé Writing workshop:
■ 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 27 Estates Library
Interview Skills workshop:
■ 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 4 Estates Library
■ 3 to 5 p.m. Jan. 22 East Naples Library
After an hour into the class, the students were instructed to turn on their machines and begin learning how to navigate the desktop. What learning tool did Weisberg use to familiarize the class with how to master pointing and clicking, dragging and dropping? Solitaire. The great electronic time-waster is the ideal introduction to computer usage, said Weisberg.
Library technical specialist Mike Brauer, monitoring the class to make sure everything was set up correctly, said the Solitaire technique is widespread.
"I taught classes for 10 years in New York, and that's what we used," he said. "All the basic skills you need are right there — and besides, it's fun."
Chalick did teach one older man how to play the game, but the majority of the class was clicking and dragging in no time.
"This is great. His explaining the terminology is what I really needed to know," student John Nicol said. "What is a cursor, what does memory mean ... "
Maris Santos liked the course for a different reason.
"I like this because they let me try," she said. "A lot of people won't show you the real basic stuff. They just do it for you."
In addition to the basic computer classes, Collier Connects offers career workshops geared to helping become more employable.
Career Assessment, a lecture presentation, explores the skills and aptitudes needed for different fields.
Résumé Writing teaches students how to construct a professional résumé, with worksheets for students to create their own.
Interview Skills is designed to make the student more confident and effective in a face-to-face situation.
Next year, classes specifically dedicated to Microsoft Word and Excel will debut.
The career workshops are at the East Naples and Estates libraries. The computer classes are rotating between the East Naples, Estates and Immokalee library branches, with staggered times to accommodate varying schedules, and will continue through September 2013.
All classes are free, and conducted in English. To learn more or register, call Collier Connects at 239-252-4534.

Hampton Roads Through the Lens at NightJuly 24th, 2012 at 10:40 am by Tom Schaad under News, Personalities, Uncategorized
Here's an example of pushing your craft beyond your "comfort zone." I became quite interested in photography just a few years ago when I snapped some point-and-shoot images of sunsets near my home and was encouraged by the kind responses from many of you. But John Cleese, of Monty Python fame, used to say, "And now for something completely different." Use that for an intro to this little collection of night shots. I've taken some long exposures before, but this is hand-held high-ISO stuff, and I found how difficult it is to execute. But I enjoyed the mood of the streets at night, and tried to capture the shadows and mystery of dimly lit scenes. I use a Canon EOS Rebel, and it's somewhat limited in high ISO situations. However, I feel the camera recorded the mood of long shadows and city lights that show a different side to photography. Please enjoy this little night stroll–through the lens.

columnBy Andreas E Peltzer
WHAT is the task of a human rights activist? Helping victims of human rights violations may be the first answer. Now there are specialists dealing with perpetrators and victims of rights violations, which include law enforcement agencies, lawyers or psychologists.
The human rights activist may advise victims how to approach these professionals. They may even criticise certain institutions if they don't do what is expected of them. Assisting victims of human rights violations can be a 24-hour job. Nevertheless, a human rights activist has a more fundamental role: to reflect on the basic norms of society. The moral and legal principles of society constantly meet with each other and reality. They actually don't just meet. They get into conflict on a daily basis.
While it is the task of a judge, for instance, to carefully craft a judgement on any such conflict, the human rights activist has another vocation: They alert the public and initiate debate. Open deliberations within society are very important.
However, it is a major challenge in Namibia to inspire public debate on these matters of grave concern. While the media contribute as much as they can, open debate in public spaces has almost vanished since independence in 1990. People talk in taxis and queues but shy away from public events where their concerns could be taken note of in a more effective way.
This is especially problematic in matters like gender-based violence or ethnic issues. Human rights activism has to find a way for people to discuss what they have at heart. General invitations to an unspecified public may not always provide the most conducive environment. Other formats need to be tested.
Issues like starvation, unemployment need to addressed from a human rights perspective. Starvation probably is the most significant sign that something is wrong in the society. Even though the country is wealthy too many people go hungry for the most part of the year. Food and water as the most fundamental human needs are not negotiable. Does Namibia's legal system really incorporate solidarity? Or is it based on an old liberal approach?
If we look at the incredible level of consumer debt: Is it really all the debtors fault? Is the legal system really balancing the rights of both sides? Can a debt collection take away the funds needed for food in the family?
Human rights activism may be able to come forward with innovative concepts for parliament and judiciary to defend human rights against a too narrow understanding of contractual property rights.
Contrary to some Marxist beliefs, historical studies show the poor usually do not rise up to 'fight against the rich'. Therefore, nobody may gain from trying to encourage public protest by 'the poor'. In fact, the studies hint at the explosiveness of the situation once protests get ethnic colours. Human rights activism is walking a thin line when promoting protest.
Unemployment certainly is the second most severe violation of a key human right in Namibia. Human dignity is strongly linked to being productive members of society. Young people are highly challenged by the feeling of uselessness and the lack of social status. What is the meaning of the right to work? A labourer isn't just offering a service which can be priced on a market - as Adam Smith thought. Hegel already knew: Work is embedded in social life. It is not just an issue of a lone individual. It depends on the structures within society. The human rights approach helps to get beyond the simple ideas of liberalism and socialism. African ethics have responses too.
It is quite easy to demonstrate for the rights to food, water and work. But such demands may slowly alter our political system. The constitutional expert Wolfgang Boeckenfoerde warns about the new role the Supreme Court finds itself in.
If citizens can take government to court because of a lack of food the court may become supreme in a way it was not meant to be. The Supreme Court may become the paternalistic supervisor of us all. It may start telling us how much a human person may consume daily, what may be an adequate pension, whether a 'street-kid' has a right to get some shoes and so forth. Human rights activism has to consider the consequences of what it asks for.
In addition, the gap between moral and legal justice is widening. More and more penalties lack legitimacy. In some cases the public demands higher sentences in others it even feels pity for an accused. The connection between an illegal action and a sentence is not clear.
The human rights movement should propose better ways of connected justice.
Andreas Peltzer is the co-chair of the NANGOF [Namibia Non-Governmental Forum] Trust sector for human rights and democracy

Good but expensive. The single favorite supplement
I have been using this creatine formula for almost 4 weeks along with the muscletech nitro tech performance protein. I loaded 2 scoops the first week and and use 2 scoops daily. It has helped me put on about 10lbs and I have also gone up in my weights. I also use the jackd3d pre work out which is great but I wouldnt recommend using with a late workout before bed. I have taking other supplements before but for my body the cell tech has given me the best results in a short amount of time. I wish the hardcore was still available. I would love to try that. A great product for bulking and strength.
Not a bad product for the money. I used as a During Workout drink.
This advanced creatine is " SERIOUSLY " the best on the planet, helping me to make great weight and MUSCLE gains for more of a " BEAST MODE " session in the gym! I have been purchasing this product for the last 7 yrs. with no dissapointment. Highly recomended !
The Orange Cell Tech tastes incredible and works like magic!!! In 4 months, when I was 18, I went from weighing 245lbs to 200lbs. But here's where Cell Tech comes in: my bench press went from 145lbs (sad, I know) to 225lbs x 4 times, and my wide-grip pull ups went from 0 to 8!
***I lost 45 pounds while adding over 80 pounds to my bench press in 4 months!!!***
I worked out like a madman, and took in maybe 2000 calories a day, but some of the other fatties in a similar situation had nowhere near the weight loss or strength gains I did. If I didn't have the college coaches there from the start to finish, no one would've believed my change.
Right now I'm using JUST creatine, but that was a personal choice because I'm learning more about nutrition. If I don't get decent results, than I'll be running back to cell tech.

Tips for buying seafood
Filed Under: World | Posted: 02/03/2008 at 10:38PM
Comments | Region: Thailand
Tips for buying seafood
After selling seafood around the world with United Cold Storage for 35 years, I do have some good tips for buying seafood.
Seafood is generally sold in 2 kinds. One is fresh and the other is processed. Today, processed fish is easy to buy. They all come from tightly quality controlled plants. Major seafood processing countries are
USFDA has a very stringent production regulation for seafood. All seafood plants both local and overseas must have gone through a strict food processing procedure of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point -HACCP. It is generally true that you will always pick up a pack of good quality processed seafood in the market.
For fresh seafood, there are some rules we have to follow to ensure that we will have good fresh fish. USFDA applies the technique they used to call organoleptic test. They changed the term to sensory test today. They are both the same of using our organs of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and hand or senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching to ascertain the freshness of seafood.
Seafood is divided into four major categories of Fish, Crustaceans, Cephalopods and Shell.
For a whole fish, look into the eyes and gills. Eyes should be bright and shiny. Dull eyes indicate deterioration. Gill should be bloody red. Pale indicates deterioration. Some unscrupulous fish mongers may use harmful preservative like sodium-benzoates to keep the fish fresh. Some may even use formaldehyde. Fish may look fresh but meat could be rotten. If you have doubt, press the fish with one of your finger, the meat should bounce back like a good firm sponge. Fish that gives a dent with a press, though it may looks fresh, indicates the use of chemicals. Do not buy.
For fish fillets, the sensory test is still appropriate. A glance at the fish should give you a pleasant natural look. The bright and shiny fillets should be suspicious of having used Sodium-phosphate or brine. This may not be harmful but you will probably lose about 10-20 % fish weight after cooking.
This group of seafood includes all types of shell fish like shrimp, lobster, and crab. Deterioration will start from the head part and spread slowly to the body. The shell will turns black in ring shape at the beginning until the whole body. This is known as an oxidation chain reaction.
As for crab, always buy a live crab. Once a crab is dead, it must be kept frozen immediately. But the freshness will be 50 % off when it thaws again.
This includes squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. These products are normally sold in a semi-processed condition packed from FDA approved plants. They are quite safe to buy. The only precaution is you have to really look for the super quality grade fish if you want to have them raw.
Shell fish
The shell fish we consume is mostly bi-valves like oyster, clam, mussels and scallop. Again, buy them live. Once it is dead, consume immediately or keep frozen. Give 50 discount of freshness when you thaw them again.
Last, all fish should smell fishy naturally. Pinch a tiny bit of the meat to rub in your hands and smell. The heat created by rubbing will give a pungent odor from bad fish. FDA rejects tons and tons of fish every year just by rubbing and smelling this way.

Italian giants Napoli have made a surprise enquiry for Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck, according to reports from The Express.
The England international is rumoured to be eyeing a move away from Old Trafford this summer in search of regular playing time, and has been linked with Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton.
But now Napoli are also in the hunt, with rumours suggesting that they have approached United and the player to discuss a deal.
The Naples side's sporting director Riccardo Bigon has asked to be kept up to date on the 23-year-old's situation, and is believed to have probed to find out whether or not the goal-getter would be interested in Serie A life.
Rafa Bentiez's side are understood to value him at around £10m, which is a figure somewhat lower than many outlets has suggested he may be worth.
Welbeck himself is believed to have grown angered at his distance from being a first-team regular at Old Trafford, which may be further increased this off-season with United eyeing a number of big name players.
Although a switch to Napoli would be a surprise one for the young forward, Napoli are hopeful that the lure of Champions League football may be enough to tempt him to take the plunge.
