Pac-12 morning links
Leading off
It's depth chart Wednesday! All 12 teams are in action this week -- no byes. Actually, it will be like this for the next two weeks. So that's exciting! Here are the most current depth charts for all the teams in action this week, save UCLA, which doesn't post a weekly depth chart. As always, I'll note any significant changes below.
- Arizona
- Arizona State (page 16 of the game notes)
- California (page 10 of the game notes)
- Colorado
- Oregon (page 10 of the game notes)
- Oregon State (page 27 of the game notes)
- Stanford
- USC (page 17 of the game notes)
- Utah (page 11 of the game notes)
- Washington (page nine of the game notes)
- Washington State (page 11 of the game notes)
- At ASU, De'Marieya Nelson is off the defensive side of the ball and is only listed as a tight end and not a "devil" backer. Todd Graham said he'll be limited to just a few defensive snaps a game (see story below).
- At Cal, Noah Westerfield or Harrison Wilfley will start at defensive end for the injured Brennan Scarlett, and Khalfani Muhammad is back in the kick return rotation with Tre Watson for the injured Trevor Davis.
- At OSU, Jordan Villamin will start in place of Richard Mullaney, who is likely done for the season with an elbow injury. Some flipping on the OSU offensive line with injuries. Sean Harlow moves to left tackle for the injured Gavin Andrews, opening up right tackle for Dustin Stanton. Lavonte Barnett is listed as the starting left defensive end.
- At Stanford, Harrison Phillips and Nate Lohn will fill in for DT David Parry, who is doubtful with a leg injury.
- At Washington, John Ross is listed ahead of Kasen Williams.
- At Washington State, Peyton Pelluer is listed ahead of Darryl Monroe at the mike linebacker spot. Per reports, Monroe has been limited in practice.
Usually in this space every Wednesday, we've been linking the straw poll from Heismanpundit.com. However Chris Huston, friend of the blog who runs that site, has put it on hold while he does some work for the official Heisman site. We wish him the best.
So today we'll update you with the ESPN.com Heisman poll. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota still sits behind Mississippi State's Dak Prescott. But he closed the gap last week with his performance against Washington.
Here's how the latest poll shakes out, followed by their total points:
- Dak Prescott (47)
- Marcus Mariota (42)
- Melvin Gordon (25)
- Tie: Amari Cooper (9)
Jameis Winston (9)
Prescott and Mariota were the only players receiving first-place votes. Looks like it's a two-man race to the finish.

USC notebook
"I thought the guys came out with a good intention to work to improve, to really soak in the game plan, which is what Tuesdays are about -- really getting the meat and potatoes of the game plan installed, working through the kinks of it, and then getting it cleaned up in our meetings this evening and getting back on the field tomorrow for practice," Sarkisian said. "I think these guys understand the value of this game and what it means in conference standings, which is important to know."
At the top of Sarkisian's list of concerns is an attacking Utah defense that ranks No. 1 nationally in both sacks (5.5 per game) and tackles for loss (10.2 per game). Led up front by defensive end Nate Orchard, the Utes figure to provide quite a test for USC's improving, but still young offensive line.
"Utah plays a specific style that, in my opinion, is unique to them," Sarkisian said. "They've had great defensive linemen over the years in Star Lotulelei, and the Krugers and all of those different guys. Now it's kind of Nate Orchard's turn to be the lead guy for them. So, the best way to prepare for them is we have to go out and execute at a high level. We have to understand what we're going up against and the physicality that it's going to take for us to play with, and then we need to be creative with our play calls to make sure that we're taking care of our offensive line and putting them in positive positions to be successful."
Kessler hears from USC passing greats
USC quarterback Cody Kessler said that since throwing for a school single-game record seven touchdown passes this past weekend, he's received a steady flow of congratulatory messages, including from some notable USC signal-callers of the past in Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley.
"It's kind of cool because there's such a long tradition here," Kessler said. "The guys that I got to watch before me, to kind of hear from them and for them to reach out on different types of social media is a really cool feeling."
Kessler said that it was the message from Barkley -- whose record Kessler broke on Saturday -- that made the biggest impression.
"I think the most meaningful one was from Matt Barkley, just because it was his record, and he was like my big brother when he was here," Kessler said. "A lot of the stuff I learned here is from him. He taught me how to play the game here, and how to handle everything, and how to be off the field as well. And to be able to do that, and hear from him after on social media and then get a text was a really cool feeling."
Injury update
- After heading to the sideline early against Colorado, freshman cornerback/wide receiver Adoree' Jackson (hip flexor) took part in the entirety of practice on Tuesday. "He came out of the game not as bad as maybe we first initially thought, and he's done a good job with his rehab, and he was able to get back on the field and really do quality work, so we're anticipating him good-to-go for Saturday," Sarkisian said.
- Wide receivers Ajene Harris (hamstring) and George Farmer (hamstring), who both were sidelined this past Saturday, also participated in the entire practice session.
- Linebacker Hayes Pullard (knee) and safety Gerald Bowman (foot) suited up but were extremely limited. Sarkisian said that he is "relatively confident" that both will be ready by the end of the week.
- Fullback Soma Vainuku (hamstring) suited up but was also limited. Linebacker Lamar Dawson (knee) remained limited as well.
- Andre Heidari kicked field goals along with Alex Wood during the special teams period. Heidari has missed the last two games due to a groin injury.
- With a loud and spirited crowd potentially expected to be on hand in Rice-Eccles Stadium this Saturday, Sarkisian had crowd noise piped in during the Trojans' practice.
- With Pullard limited in practice, sophomore Michael Hutchings took his place with the No. 1 defense at MIKE linebacker.
- John Plattenburg and Leon McQuay III were the two starting safeties with Bowman sidelined during 11-on-11 periods.
- During the field goal period, Heidari connected on 3-of-3 field goal attempts, including a 47 yarder. Wood went 2-for-3, with his miss coming on a 47-yard attempt.
- Freshman wide receiver JuJu Smith blocked a punt during a special teams period.
- There was a large number of NFL scouts in attendance on Tuesday, including those from the Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- Sarkisian said that the team will wear the new metallic-tinted helmets again this Saturday when they face Utah.
WeAreSC roundtable: Biggest test at Utah?
Garry Paskwietz: It was definitely the most dynamic game of the season, and I think a lot of USC fans -- and coach Steve Sarkisian -- would describe that dynamic element as the biggest missing piece of the offense to this point so by that standard you can say it was a breakout kind of game. You had Cody Kessler with his school-record seven touchdowns, you had a pair of running backs around the 100-yard mark and a pair of receivers who broke the 100-yard mark. That's a pretty good offensive night no matter who the opponent.
Johnny Curren: I think Colorado certainly was the breakout game that the USC offense was looking for. After all, just about everything clicked for Sarkisian & Co. Kessler threw for a school-record seven touchdowns, and both Buck Allen and Justin Davis shined on the ground. Still, it's important to take into account the fact it all happened against a Colorado defensive unit that has struggled throughout much of 2014. Because of that, I'm more interested to see if the USC offense can continue to find success against Utah this weekend, as well as through the rest of the schedule. If the offense does continue to perform at a high level, however, I think that everyone will point to the Colorado game as the moment when everything first came together.
Greg Katz: Yes, in terms of showing against a weak defense that the Trojans' offense can be balanced and the passing game can be vertical. We'll find out this Saturday night at Utah if the balanced offense the Trojans showcased on homecoming will be the same we see in Salt Lake City. A word of caution: The opener against Fresno State, with all its offensive fireworks, was an anomaly to a certain extent to what the rest of the season has been prior to playing Colorado.
2. What will be the biggest test on the road this week against Utah?
Garry Paskwietz: Keeping pressure off Kessler. The Trojans' young offensive line has shown growth in the run game lately, now they will get a test against a formidable pass rush that comes early and often. Sarkisian said the Utes' M.O. is to get after the quarterback, and with a nation-leading 5.5 sacks per game, it's pretty obvious that they do it well.
Johnny Curren: I think that the Trojans' biggest test will come up front on offense, as the USC offensive line is set to go up against an extremely talented Utah front seven that has the Utes currently ranking No. 1 nationally in both sacks (5.5 per game) and tackles for loss (10.2 per game). There's no denying the fact that Tim Drevno's young group has made tremendous strides as of late, but they're going to need to come up with their best performance yet in this one.
Greg Katz: To be able to match and sustain the physical aspect that Utah will bring on both offense (rushing) and defense (QB sacking). The Trojans showed at Arizona that they can survive in a major hostile environment. Utah could be the toughest test of the season thus far.
3. Will Allen end up in New York as a Heisman finalist this year?
Garry Paskwietz: To paraphrase a line from "Dumb and Dumber," I'm saying there's a chance. There is a pretty good group at the top of the Heisman pecking order that Buck would need to crack but if he can maintain his per game average, he would end the season with roughly 1,600 rushing yards and that would be a hard candidate to keep away from the Big Apple. There is certainly a long way to go before that can happen and a lot that would need to fall in the right direction but Buck has done his part to give himself a chance.
Johnny Curren: I do think Allen will end up as a Heisman finalist this year, primarily because he just seems to keep getting better and better. He's running with so much confidence right now, and he's so talented not only as a rusher, but also as a receiver. I think that his final numbers at the end of the regular season are going to be really impressive. Of course, one thing that will certainly play a part is what kind of record the Trojans have when it's all said and done. If they keep winning, he's going to start getting a lot more media attention. If they don't, his accomplishments risk getting buried.
Greg Katz: It all depends how he plays against UCLA and more importantly Notre Dame. Ask me today and I say, "No." Buck is having a wonderful season and will be rewarded come NFL draft time. However, he has not been given the preseason publicity push needed to be in the mix.
QB Travis Wilson to start for Utes
After a one-week hiatus, Travis Wilson will be back at starting quarterback as No. 19 Utah hosts No. 20 USC in a critical Pac-12 South showdown Saturday.
Kendal Thompson, a transfer from Oklahoma, replaced Wilson in Utah's win at UCLA on Oct. 4.
During the subsequent bye week, coach Kyle Whittingham opened up the competition and kept his decision quiet before Utah's trip to Oregon State last Thursday. Thompson got the start, but he struggled in the first half and was replaced by Wilson for the second half.
Neither quarterback performed particularly well in the Utes' 29-23 double-overtime win over the Beavers. Thompson was just 4-of-8 for 17 yards and an interception. Wilson was 5-of-10 for 45 yards. Neither quarterback threw a touchdown.
This time around, Whittingham wasn't waiting to name his guy.
"We think Travis' performance is a little bit better so far this season than Kendal overall," Whittingham said. "When you look at the numbers, it's very close. It's no different than when we came out of fall camp, with it being a tight race."
On the season, Wilson is completing 56.8 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and no interceptions. Thompson is completing 59.6 percent of his throws with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Each has run for one score.
Whittingham didn't rule out the possibility that Thompson could see action against the Trojans.
Pac-12 Weekend Wrap: Oct. 21
Bizarre Season For USC Takes Another Twist
Week 8 Pac-12 QB Power Rankings
The Pac-12 is loaded with talent at quarterback this season to the point where it seems like the conference is a hoarder and really good QBs are in abundance. But this is the way we like it. And the other conferences can keep hoarding whatever they like as long as the signal-callers stay west.
Every week we'll provide you with a power ranking of the conference's top quarterbacks, heavily considering the QB's most recent game.
Drumroll please...

Pac-12 morning links
Let's get together before we get much older.
Leading off
The Eliminator blew through the Pac-12 this week with brimstone and hell-fire, slashing its way through a quarter of the league. You can now add Stanford, Oregon State and Washington to the teams officially out of a contention for a spot in the first-ever College Football Playoff. After holding on by their roots, paws and teeth, the Cardinal, Huskies and Beavers all suffered losses that the Eliminator deems too significant to recover from. Her justice is swift, if not fair. Here's some thoughts on the Huskies:
Losing 11 consecutive games to Oregon is pretty bad, but losing in the manner in which they lost to the Ducks was even worse. Oregon dominated in every facet of the game, and Washington proved that Chris Petersen's first season in the Power 5 is not going to be like his first season at Boise State.
So who is left? Arizona and Oregon are the two Pac-12 teams still listed as "In Contention" while Arizona State, UCLA, USC and Utah continue to dangle "On the Fence."
Cardinal seeing red
As noted above, things haven't gone swimmingly for the two-time defending conference champions. Athlon Sports took a look at some of the issues facing the Cardinal. And if you're looking on the offensive side of the ball, there are more than a few. They key in specifically on the offensive line:
The most likely reason Stanford's offense has been struggling this season may be due to the fact the Cardinal had to start an almost entirely new offensive line this season. Stanford lost four starters up front, as well as a starting tight end from 2013. Good teams tend to have experience and depth on the offensive line, and that does not appear to be the case for Stanford this season and it is showing. Stanford has allowed 15 sacks this season, which ranks 73rd nationally.
Also from Athlon, a look at some crazy Pac-12 stats, and why the Utes must be taken seriously in the South.

Here's a little story on the lip-locking moment. The Pac-12 blog isn't quite ready to place it among history's best kisses ... like this one ... this one ... or this one. But it ain't bad. However, you must remember this ...
Gurley, Allen headline top 10 RBs
Over the past few weeks, ESPN Insider has featured the top 10 wide receivers and top 10 quarterbacks in college football.
This third part of the series will review the top 10 running backs in college football. The depth of quality candidates at this position is higher than it has been in a few years, so the competition was quite spirited. The list includes strong representation from the Big Ten, SEC and Pac-12 and varies from speedy breakaway threats to explosive power runners.
Here are the top 10 running backs in college football:
(Note: Unless otherwise noted, all metrics below are from games against Power 5 opponents.)
Monday reset: A look around the Pac-12
Stanford, the two-time defending champion, is staggering, so Oregon has established a grip on the Pac-12 North. Meanwhile, let's not pretend we have a bead on the minefield that is the Pac-12 South. Four teams are tied at the top in the loss column, and a fifth -- preseason favorite UCLA -- hovers right behind them with two losses. It's a mess of epic proportions.
With USC visiting Utah this weekend, we will see some moving and shaking in the South. Let the horse race continue around the second bend. Here is Week 9:
The delicious appetizer: Oregon vs. Cal (at Levi's Stadium)
A couple weeks ago, Cal enjoyed its time in sole possession of the Pac-12 North lead, but that stay was as short-lived as most expected it to be. Though Jared Goff has emerged as one of the league's elite passers (9.1 yards per attempt, 24 touchdowns, four interceptions), the Bears are hindered by a defense that struggles to tackle in critical situations. That was the story of their 36-34 loss to UCLA, even though a trio of Bruins' turnovers kept that game close. It's also bad news entering a matchup with an Oregon team that is beginning to fire on all cylinders. The Ducks blasted Washington 45-20 behind four touchdowns from true freshman Royce Freeman. He is a six-foot, 230-pound tank -- exactly the type of player who can turn the Bears into falling dominoes.
Goff will need to deliver an epic performance in his duel with Marcus Mariota. Combined numbers for these two: 43 touchdowns, four picks.
Game with the biggest College Football Playoff implications: USC at Utah
Salt Lake City hosts a de facto College Football Playoff elimination game. The Arizona State-Washington battle in Seattle might have shared this designation had the Huskies found a way to get it done at Autzen Stadium, but they were run out of the building. So USC (5-2 overall) and Utah (5-1 overall) square off in the Pac-12's marquee Week 9 game. This one is fun on many levels: The Utes are coming into their own as a rugged defense (allowing 4.7 yards per play), while the Trojans are brimming with offensive confidence following their 56-28 win against Colorado, during which Cody Kessler threw a touchdown pass on 27 percent of his attempts (his seven touchdowns broke Matt Barkley's school record).
This game also features the Pac-12's two most productive running backs: USC's Buck Allen (130 yards per game) and Utah's Devontae Booker (124 yards per game). Buckle up, Rice-Eccles Stadium will be shaking.
The proving grounds game/redemption opportunity: Oregon State at Stanford
Week 8 was bitterly disappointing for these teams. The Beavers lost 29-23 at home in double overtime to a Utah team that managed only 62 passing yards, and Stanford managed less offensive production against Arizona State than Weber State, New Mexico, and Colorado. Talk about a reversal of fortune: The Cardinal's 26-10 loss to the Sun Devils came on the very same field where they dominated offensively and won the Pac-12 championship last season. Judging by margin of victory, that was their worst setback since falling 53-30 to Oregon in 2011.
Unless Stanford figures it out offensively, points will likely be scarce in this game. The Cardinal's defense still leads the nation allowing only 3.8 yards per play, and it has proven to be a rough matchup for the Beavers' offense. Meanwhile, Oregon State's defense has been surprisingly efficient, surrendering 4.9 yards per play (third in the Pac-12), so it's unclear if 13.5 is the spread or the over/under in this one.
Opposing directions bowl: Arizona State at Washington
The Sun Devils delivered a fantastic all-around performance in their 26-10 pounding of Stanford, and the Huskies were on the receiving end of a 45-20 whipping in Eugene. So both clubs are trending in opposite directions here, but they are still a combined 10-3. Washington is desperate to right the ship at home, where its havoc-wreaking defense (nation-best five touchdowns) thrives. Meanwhile, Arizona State has another chance to solidify legitimacy after two straight energizing wins. A week after facing Stanford's anemic attack, the Sun Devils face a Washington offense that is ranked dead last in the Pac-12. That is medicine for a once-struggling ASU defense.
Where great offensive minds meet: Arizona at Washington State
Time to change gears: With Rich Rodriguez and Mike Leach squaring off, there should be no shortage of total offense on the Palouse. The Cougars are desperate; they need to win four of their last five just to make a bowl game. Connor Halliday is already on pace to shatter the FBS single season-passing yards record, and Anu Solomon brings less gaudy numbers but a better 5-1 record into this game. Both teams are coming off bye weeks, so both offensive game plans should be beyond polished Saturday afternoon.
The afterthought: UCLA at Colorado
The Bruins overcame severe sloppiness in their 36-34 win at Cal, and Colorado never had a chance in the 56-28 loss at the Coliseum. At 0-4 in conference play, the Buffs are desperate, and it's tough to spot a win on their remaining schedule. The Bruins must iron out their galling turnover issue (quarterback Brett Hundley has been responsible for eight giveaways -- opponents have scored touchdowns off seven of them) and frequent trouble with defensive breakdowns. Folsom Field might be a good place to start that process, because a home showdown with Arizona waits UCLA after this one.
USC notebook
The No. 20 Trojans (5-2, 4-1 Pac-12) should have their swings down, both offensively and defensive, as they come to the Pac-12 South Division plate for a gridiron confrontation with the No. 19 Utah Utes (5-1, 2-1 Pac 12) in Salt Lake City on Saturday night.
If you thought that surviving Arizona in Tucson was a turning point in the season for the Trojans, it just goes to show you that in the Pac-12 South Division every game seems to be a turning point.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Vote: Pac-12 Blog's Play of the Week
1. Why use two hands when you only need one?
With Cal trailing by three, and the Bears with their second attempt at the endzone from the 7-yard line, Cal junior receiver Chris Harper caught a one-handed touchdown pass over UCLA defensive back Ishmael Adams (who's not new to the Play of the Week vote, but usually isn't the one being beat in the play). It was a nice throw from quarterback Luke Rubenzer, but Harper displayed great athleticism in going up for that ball, controlling it and bringing it down with his right hand.
2. Oregon's own [Dwayne] Stanford problem
Dwayne Stanford elevated over both Kevin King and Sidney Jones to come down with his first touchdown against an FBS opponent in his career. It was a perfect ball from quarterback Marcus Mariota and Stanford's leap, catch and spin for the score -- which gave the Ducks a 35-6 lead -- certainly deserves a spot in this week's vote. Stanford's catch was even bigger for the Ducks as Mariota begins to look for new weapons in the receiving game with Bralon Addison still out and Keanon Lowe, his most experienced receiver who returned this season, having sat out the last two games. Stanford finished the day with five catches for 55 yards, including this little 16-yard beaut.
3. No. 7 for No. 6
USC quarterback Cody Kessler tied the Pac-12's and stole the USC school record for touchdown passes thrown in a game … seven. Yes, this coming from a quarterback who often gets put on the backburner because there are just so many guys to talk about in this conference. Though all seven touchdown passes were impressive, we're going with his record-breaking toss for many reasons:
- He displayed plenty of calm in the pocket while Colorado had a pretty solid pass rush going on.
- The throw itself was put in the perfect spot so only his receiver could get it.
- Steven Mitchell's diving catch for it was just the cherry on top.
Running back Devontae Booker had a huge night on Thursday for the Utes. With not much happening in the air, he got it done on the ground for Utah, rushing 32 times for 229 yards and three touchdowns. But the vote this week is for his 19-yard rushing touchdown in the second overtime to seal the win for Utah. The play itself might not have featured as many ankle breakings as others this weekend, but to thrive under that kind of pressure and get a road win in the Pac-12 (which seems pretty common these days, I know) is good enough to get on the vote. Booker -- who flew under the radar coming into this season -- is now second in the conference in rushing yards per game (123.7) and third in all-purpose yards (146.2).
5. An Oregon Grand [Byron] Marshall
Technically, Byron Marshall is a wide receiver now for the Oregon Ducks. But don't tell that to the ankles he broke on Saturday as he rushed in a 23-yard touchdown. Though it was a receiving touchdown, it was his performance after the catch that gets him on this vote. His change of speed and direction got two Husky defenders to look silly before he bulldozed his way into the endzone through three more Washington players (and an Oregon player, too). On the day, Marshall accounted for five carries for 30 yards and five catches for 48 yards.
Trojans recruiting notebook
The defeat dropped Loyola to 4-3 overall, and 0-3 in league play, but Rector is still keeping a positive outlook when it comes to the remainder of the season.
"We still have three more games left," Rector said. "It's a tough league, but I still think that we're one of the better teams. We still have a great chance to make the playoffs. We can go 3-0. We just need to take one game at a time."
"I'm locked in on SC," Rector said, "100 percent."
A strong athlete with 6-foot-4, 231-pound size, Rector is expected to line up at the rush end position for the Trojans.
"I'll be rushing 50 percent of the time, dropping into coverage 50 percent of the time," Rector said.
Rector has been a regular at USC home games this fall, and he is encouraged by what he has seen, particularly from Chris Wilson's defensive line.
"I like what I see a lot," Rector said. "They're very active and enthusiastic. They're able to not only stop the run game, but also be very active in the pass rush."
Excited about his future, Rector plans to step up his recruitment of some other prospects on the Trojans' radar in the coming months, and he believes USC head coach Steve Sarkisian and staff are going to put together a class to remember.
"I'm going to try to talk to Rasheem Green at Serra, and start talking to other guys," Rector said. "I think we can be the No. 1 recruiting class. I think we can do big things at USC when we get there."
Rector plans on taking his official visit to USC in January.
News and notes
- Clovis (Calif.) North defensive lineman and USC commit Jacob Daniel went to the sideline during the first half of his team's matchup with Clovis (Calif.) East on Friday with a knee injury, and he did not return. The ESPN 300 standout was playing in just his second game of the season after going down midway through the 2013 schedule with an ACL injury. He is scheduled to see a doctor on Monday to find out the extent of the new injury.
- The Trojans extended offers to two Class of 2016 stars from Gardena (Calif.) Serra this past Friday -- C.J. Pollard and Brandon Burton. Pollard, whose father Marvin played for the Trojans, is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound safety who has had an outstanding junior season for the Cavaliers. Burton was originally offered by the Trojans as a wideout under Lane Kiffin, but Sarkisian and Co. have re-offered him as a safety -- where he has been spending most of his time this fall.
- ESPN Junior 300 linebacker Daelin Hayes (Detroit, Mich./Cass Tech) pledged to the Trojans back in July, but that hasn't stopped a number of other programs from coming after him. LSU, Arizona State and Boston College have all extended offers in recent days, pushing his total to 17. He remains committed to USC.

Was this finally USC's breakout game?
Attired in their shiny, new, metallic cardinal helmets and flashy chrome facemasks, USC looked like a different football team on Saturday night. Cody Kessler was throwing record-breaking touchdown passes, Nelson Agholor was sprinting free everywhere, JuJu Smith and Bryce Dixon were emerging as exciting complementary components and footballs were sailing into the far reaches of the Coliseum.
So in the aftermath of that 56-28 romp over Colorado, the question must be asked:

The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) has announced that Becca Girvan was named IIAC Female Athlete of the Week, and that Miranda McCay was named the Position Player of the Week, for the week ending Sunday, April 14, 2013.
Girvan, a junior, threw 12 innings of shutout ball and picked up a pair of wins as the No. 9 Norse swept Wartburg and Buena Vista. In a 6-0 win over the Knights on April 8, she scattered three hits, walked two and struck out eight in five innings of work. Girvan twirled a complete-game shutout in a 2-0 win over Buena Vista on April 14, scattering two hits, walking one and striking out 11. With the 11 strikeouts against the Beavers, Girvan set the Luther career record for strikeouts and has 497 for her career through April 15.
McCay, a freshman outfielder, hit .750 with nine hits in 12 at-bats as the Norse swept doubleheaders against Wartburg and Buena Vista. Against Wartburg, she was a perfect 3-for-3 with an RBI in game one, then added two hits - including a home run - scored twice and drove in four in the nightcap. McCay had two hits in each half of the Buena Vista doubleheader, accounting for one RBI and one run scored.

text: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 – Campaign Will Last 20+ Hours, No Plans to Revisit Franchise Nick Calandra January 10, 2014 The next entry in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series should satisfy single player gamers looking for an action game with a long main campaign time. In a new interview with News10GamesGuys, David Cox revealed the estimated length of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. The preview footage shown in the preview, he explains, is about 4 hours into the game but Cox goes further on to say that the "overall game is 20+ hours". As for the Castlevania series, Cox says they are "not going to revisit Castlevania. This is the end of the story, end of the line. We had our story to tell which was Dracula's story and we feel that if you got a story to tell there's nothing worse than to keep retelling it over and over again. I think this is the big conclusion to LOS2, I think fans will be satisfied with the ending." Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 releases on February 25th on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. There are no next-gen versions of the game planned so if you were hoping to pick it up at a later date you might be a bit disappointed. MercurySteam does have a next-gen game in the works however, and it's completely unrelated to the Castlevania franchise. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with all the latest on single player video games. You can watch the full interview by following the link. Gran Maese Can't wait for it! Sǯdi Sǻymeh i've heard its almost 30h with the side quests and hidden bosses , but 20 is great for SP games these days specially most of them are just 10h not even the half of what this game can provide … http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra Considering if the game is difficult it could even surpass that 30 hour mark. Sǯdi Sǻymeh yeah i remember playing LoS 1 on high difficulty it took me about 20 hours to complete , and the devs said it needs only 15 , so if they said LoS2 is 20+ it means on higher difficulties it would reach the 30 easily . Dakan45 holy crap, that sounds huge THEN AGAIN… having such long games doesnt necessary mean they ae better. Darksiders 2 was huge, it was basicly the same crap all over, same goes for bioshock infinite. Not to mention dead space and lost planet 3. To me its about the quality not dragging on the game to make it longer. Sǯdi Sǻymeh but in this one you can explore the whole castle , and new york area is an open world , its the final castlevania game that mercurysteam is making so they gonna wrap it up and put all they've got in this game . i hope its gonna be like GOW2 it was a long game but never got bored of it . Dakan45 wait so you explore a huge castle and there is open world? This game bettr not flop. Sǯdi Sǻymeh im sure about the exploring the castle part 100% , but the open part is too weird to believe . anyhow its confirmed that there are side quests , hidden bosses and RPG elements , i really hope it won't flip too http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra I actually really enjoyed how long Darksiders 2 campaign was simply because each environment was so much different from the last. Kept things very fresh for me. Dakan45 well, i am at the part you restore both fir and water to the forge and so far its one grey enviroment with grey dungeons. You telling me that the levels later are diffirent? Because i thought i have gone through alot of "hub" areas with my horse and they looked alike, ill keep playing.

Revenge of the flattie
There was a time in my life where I used to be 'well endowed'. The only problem with the 'well endowment' was that it came with some unwanted freebies: 7kg of surplus fat, an ugly muffin top, an unsightly flabby ass, and a pair of disgusting heybabies.
As I started working out, the surplus fat, muffin top, flabby ass and heybabies slowly melted away. But there's also the sad part of watching my so-called womanly asset slip away—from a 36C, I went sloping down to a 34A. You just can't win.
A friend of mine asked me the other day if I feel less sexy now that I'm cleavage-less. Well, there were times when I look at Scarlett Johansson and wonder if I can pull off the same kind of dresses. Sometimes I dread, too, that my future offsprings will be malnourished. But overall, being flat isn't at all unsexy. Look at Sasha Grey and you'll know what I mean.
My 'aha' moment came one night as I was watching Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. In the movie, Marisa Tomei (another hot flat-chested actress) plays the role of a stripper. When I saw her topless scene, I couldn't help but Wiki her for her age—the woman looks super perky for a 45-year-old—and I guess it's all thanks to her flatness. The lesser weight you have on your chest, the lesser there is for gravity to spoil.
I bet Marisa still can't hold a pencil under her tits. Most of all, I'm glad that in the next 20 years, my chest would still pass for a 21-year-old's.

The Yamaha FZR400 was always over-shadowed by the class-leading Hondas, both the CBR and V4 NC30 and NC35s, and, on track, was a little behind Kawasaki's ZXR400 for sheer speed. However, the rev-happy Yamaha FZR400RR attracted the hooligans by the bucket load, drawn to the high-revving engine, sharp handling and high corner speed. And, as it was also always considerably ...
400cc, 60.6bhp, 127mph, Insurance group 10
Suzuki's GSX-R400 is easily mistakable for its larger brother the 750 with its distinctive slingshot looks and aluminum frame. Not as sought after as the other Japanese 400cc imports, but that keep prices low and means you can grab a bargain. Handling is excellent handling, but the engine requires a thrashing as its all revs, but it's still rewarding to ...
599cc, 97.5bhp, 164mph, Insurance group 15
It was never the fastest or the most powerful in the supersports class of 04 and 05, but the Suzuki GSX-R600 was easily the most fun, especially on the track. Boasting the lightest weight of all its contenders, the most track-focused chassis and the most evil sounding engine note, the Suzuki GSX-R600 is the 600 for dedicated hardcore riders.
749cc, 126bhp, 175.3mph, Insurance group 17
The MV Agusta F4 750 was the most eagerly awaited slice of Italian superbike exotica pretty much delivered on all counts. Simply stunning Massimo Tamburini styling was the most beautiful since the same designer's Ducati 916 of 1994 (and is generally considered to still be the most beautiful bike in production). Spec, build quality and handling was there to match. ...

The third and final great sports bike of the nineties. The FireBlade set the agenda, the 916 added finesse and the Yamaha YZF-R1 topped them off with extra power and madness. Even today the original Yamaha YZF-R1 is a sports tool to be reckoned with and updated Yamaha YZF-R1s are even more potent and easier to use too.
998cc, 172bhp, 178mph, Insurance group 17
Cold, calm and supremely effective – the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is like The Terminator. It is an exceptional sports bike that's blisteringly fast on the road or track. It is bristling with MotoGP technology and compared to the previous motorcycles the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is manic and faster but heavier and arguably less exciting too.
954cc, 149bhp, 170mph, Insurance group 17
The last Honda CBR900RR FireBlade by Tadao Baba is the most exciting to ride and lighter than its successors. Later Honda CBR1000RR Fireblades were faster but heavier and less involving. Like any Honda CBR900RR FireBlade this one is incredibly fast, surprisingly reliable, amazingly comfortable and well built too. A stunning motorcycle that looks extra tasty in white.
599cc, 108bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 14
Triumph wowed us all when they beat all the Japanese manufacturers to putting a fuel injected engine in to a 600cc sportsbike. Shame about the glitches. Later Triumph TT600s are better but the handling and brakes have never been in doubt: they're awe-inspiring. Dodgy looks but a true Brit.
599cc, 115bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
Barely related to the long-running all-round Honda CBR600F – the Honda CBR600RR is a track biased missile – and an excellent one. On the road, the 'F' version is a better bet for most with a more roomy riding position, stable handling and a less revvy engine but get the Honda CBR600RR on the track and it's in its element.
When the Honda CBR600F got fuel injection, it also had its personality split. From this point on, two Honda CBR600s would run concurrently: the Honda CBR600F and the Honda CBR600FS (now superseded by the Honda CBR600RR). One a sporty all-rounder, the other, a full-on sportsbike. The Honda CBR600F was, and remains, a brilliant motorcycle with real power and excitement but with the ...

In Colbert's vehicle, the Mark-19 jammed again— as it has in two previous engagements. Hasser, who's manning the weapons, screams, "Shit! Shit! Shit!" and pounds the roof of the Humvee, trying to unjam it. He lets out a half-crazed scream. "Raaah!"
Colbert shouts up to him, "Walt! You're losing control of yourself. Shut the fuck up and take a deep breath."
"This goddamn gun!" Hasser shouts. His voice cracks. "It's a piece of shit!"
"Walt, you know I like you a lot," Colbert says, trying to calm him. "But it's not going to help if you lose control of your emotions. We just don't have enough LSA to keep it lubed properly. There's nothing we can do about it." He adds, "I'm sorry I had to yell at you."

My story begins at the age of about 7. That is around the time when I began having suicidal ideation and creating the plans for committing suicide.
Fast forward to 2004, I was a junior in college, had a great GPA, but had no direction.
Enter my first major meltdown. I had to do a medical withdrawal from the university, thereby losing my job at the university as a student receptionist. I spent about 2 months in my house, crying constantly, awake all the time, but unable to leave the house. I finally recovered from that episode and went back to school, where I would continue with no direction for another 2-3 years. I finally settled on psychology as my major and began working full time at a level 1 sub-acute psychiatric facility as a behavioral health para-professional, or as we called it in the facility BHPP or floor person. I was 23 at the time, and had no real understanding of or experience with mental illness. So naturally, I convinced myself that what I had gone through was not mental illness because I was not like the people that I was working with.
At the age of 25, I had a reality check. A lot of stressful and emotionally painful events happened all at once, and I had another meltdown, except this one was serious. Crying, I took a loaded handgun and put it to my forehead with my finger on the trigger, ready to end the pain that I was feeling at the time. But when I closed my eyes, I had one of those "life flashing before my eyes" type experiences, in which I saw all the people that I would hurt if I pulled the trigger. I put the gun down and called the therapist that I had been seeing. Naturally, she called 911 and they made me go to the emergency room.
While I was at the emergency room, the doctor insisted that I go to a behavioral health facility. I was extremely hesitant for three reasons. One, I didn't think that I really needed to go, because I thought that I was okay to just go home. Two, I wasn't like the people that I worked with. Three, where could I possibly go and not run into former patients from my facility. At any rate, we found a facility that I could go to with little to no chance of running into a former patient and I agreed to go with a lot of convincing.
It was that 6-day stay at that behavioral health facility that changed my life and view of the world around me. Suddenly I wasn't a BHPP anymore, I was a patient. I didn't have the badge anymore or the responsibilities that came with it, I was a patient. I was exactly what I had told myself that I wasn't. Until then I was looking through the glass from the outside, peering into the world of the people that I worked with. Now I was looking through the glass from the inside, peering out with renewed vision.
I was given the diagnosis of bipolar disorder during my stay at the hospital. I was released from the hospital and finally went back to work with that renewed vision. An understanding of what it meant to live with a mental illness. For a while I felt the stigma that went along with a diagnosis. I felt that if anyone knew, I would be treated differently.
But working with the patients at the CRU helped me a lot on my road to recovery. I learned from them as much as they learned from me. I suddenly began to feel a renewed passion to help them realize that they could recover and go on with their lives as I had recovered and gone on with my life.
I stayed in the field for another couple years and took with me the memories of all the people that I helped along the way and how they also helped me without even knowing it.
I am now 29 years old (soon to be the big 3-0). I finished my BS in Psychology online, as this was less stressful for me, so I was able to excel. I have since moved on from working in the psych field to pursue my other career options and obtained an MS in Criminal Justice.
I have learned through the years with the help of my therapist and my psychiatric nurse practitioner how to live with my mental illness and not be ashamed it.
While I am a person with mental illness, the illness does not define who I am.

Over all Review of Sony Xperia L Black
Overall Review
There was a time few years back, when Sony was in trouble while being separated from its partnership with Ericsson. Sony was not doing well in collaboration with Ericsson in terms of sales while there were conflicts of ideas too. Samsung was just about peaking at that time as Nokia was on the verge of losing its throne as the number one cell phone manufacturing brand. It is a commendable job as to what Sony has done since then, for not only it recovered from its separation but has been able to stay competitive as compared to the other heavyweights like Samsung and HTC. The Xperia series has turned out to be a phenomenal success for the company and has managed to capture the imagination of the consumers by its distinctive and classy designs that make their gadgets stand out.
The Xperia series has gadgets in various price range and Sony Xperia L is a mid range smartphone that comes with a 4.3 inches TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 480 by 854 pixels along with a pixel density of 228ppi. The scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass protects the screen as the user gets to interact with the display by using up to 4 fingers. As far as the dimensions of the smartphone are concerned, Sony Xperia L comes with a length of 128.7mm, breadth of 65mm and thickness of 9.7mm. The smartphone weighs 137 grams and is boosted by an impressive hardware set. Under the hood, the gadget holds a dual core processor that clocks at 1GHz while the RAM is of 1GB – a considerable amount indeed. The software platform of Android Jelly Bean 4.1 comes preloaded in the gadget but the user can upgrade it to the Android KitKat 4.4 operating system.
Consequent to the update, Sony Xperia L would get access to the latest games and applications. Officially, an 8GB internal memory comes preloaded in the gadget but after the curtailment for application installation, the user gets 5.8GB of it for personal usage that may include storage of songs, games, images and videos. A microSD card slot would help the cause further as well ensuring 32GB enhancement of the external memory. Internet is absolutely secure and packed with the latest provisions that include various tethering features like dual band, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hot spot, DLNA etc. There is GPRS and EDGE as well that delivers a web surfing speed of 85.6Kbps and 237Kbps respectively. Also, NFC, Bluetooth and USB port are options for data exchange activities.
An 8 megapixels primary camera does a great job in image snapping at a resolution of 3264 by 2448 pixels. Auto focus, LED flash, geo-tagging and touch focus are just few of the multiple tools that accompany the primary shutter. And, the secondary camera of 0.3 megapixels too plays its part well by permitting video calling over Wi-Fi. There are two colors of Black and White that Sony Xperia L can be chosen. The non-removable standard lithium-ion battery of 1750mAh gives out a standby time of up to 498 hours in 2G and up to 454 hours in 3G. The talk time is up to 8 hours and 30 minutes in 2G and up to 9 hours in 3G. A substantial amount of music playtime is also observed with up to 43 hours and 12 minutes.
User Interface and UI functionality
Sony Xperia L holds a 4.3 inches TFT capacitive touchscreen that can be communicated to with the help of up to 4 fingers usage. The resolution for the display is 480 by 854 pixels whereas the pixel density is of 228ppi. Apart from the 16 million color resolution backup, the display of the gadget also comes with Corning Gorilla scratch resistant glass.
Multimedia features
Plenty of entertainment to look forward to with Sony Xperia L as the user gets a music player for creating a desired playlist of songs that can be heard via the earphones and loudspeakers. The video player too supports multiple formats and runs movies and videos.
Pictures and Video quality
There is an 8 megapixels primary camera with Sony Xperia L that ensures that the images snapped in outdoor and indoor conditions are awesome at a resolution of 3264 by 2448 pixels with LED flash and auto focus features providing the necessary clarity and accuracy. The secondary camera of 0.3 megapixels does well with video calling although the prescribed strength may be a little less.
Internet support
The GPRS facility with Sony Xperia L works with the web at a speed of 85.6Kbps while EDGE provides a speed of 237Kbps. There is Wi-Fi facility too that gives a download speed of up to 21Mbps whereas the upload speed given is of 5.76Mbps. Wi-Fi direct, dual band, Wi-Fi hot spot and DLNA are important part of tethering that enables other gadgets to connect to the web. Also, SNS integration allows faster access to Facebook and Twitter.
Internal and External Memory
Internal memory of 8GB would be a healthy amount of storage space on any given day even when only 5.8GB would be available for actual use. The microSD card slot gives the required hike to the external memory in case the internal memory runs out of steam. RAM is of 1GB with Sony Xperia L that complements the dual core processor well.
Applications and Gaming
Since the Sony Xperia L gets an upgrade from Android Jelly Bean 4.1 to Android KitKat 4.4, the user would now be able to get his or her hands on the latest games and apps including BBM, WhatsApp, and Temple Run.
Battery Backup
A 1750mAh standard lithium-ion battery delivers more than what we had expected from a Sony smartphone, for power backup has never been Sony's strength. The user here gets a talk time of up to 8 hours and 30 minutes along with a standby time of up to 498 hours in 2G. In 3G, both the figures change a bit with up to 9 hours of talk time and up to 454 hours of standby time. Up to 43 and 12 minutes of back-to-back music can be heard with Sony Xperia L.
Connectivity Offered

Wi-Fi covers all aspect of tethering and provides access to web along with GPRS and EDGE. The 3G operating frequencies of the smartphone include 900 and 2100MHz.

The pixel density is of 326ppi with Apple iPhone 5, which is much higher than the 228ppi offered by Sony Xperia L. Both the devices feature an 8 megapixels primary camera but the results with Apple iPhone 5 are arguably better. The secondary camera is of 1.2 megapixels with Apple iPhone 5 whereas the same is of VGA with Sony Xperia L. A 1440mAh standard lithium-polymer battery backs Apple iPhone 5 while a 1750mAh standard lithium-ion battery powers Sony Xperia L.

The European Union has rarely looked so united. The disparate members have joined up to mount a strong defence of the region's single currency. But the EU has also never looked so close to dissolution, divided by tensions between more and less fiscally responsible and economically successful countries. The fate of the union could follow either of two historical precedents with starkly different outcomes.
Exactly 150 years ago, on May 27, 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi started to besiege Palermo. The city was the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which had lasted in roughly the same form for almost six centuries. Most of the establishment at the time, including the Pope and Emperor Napoleon III of France, dismissed the notion of an Italian nation.
The romantic nationalist Garibaldi proved them wrong. Italy was unified under the Turin-based king of Sardinia. Huge regional differences in history, economy and culture have been diminished by the flow of people from south to north and of government money and bureaucracy in the other direction. The unified Italy has survived and prospered.
The less optimistic precedent is Yugoslavia. An expansion of the Kingdom of Serbia, the country was created after the First World War. Strong Slavic ethnic identity made it only slightly less likely to succeed as a nation than Italy. And Yugoslavia's disparate peoples seemed on the path to unity for most of the following six decades.
But everything fell apart quickly 30 years ago, after the May 1980 death of Marshall Tito. Without Yugoslavia's longstanding autocratic leader, the Serbian nationalism that had supposedly been crushed proved a potent divisive and destructive force.

DescriptionPure Wander Magazine is seeking editorial interns to assist with research and to write articles.
What we do: Pure Wander Magazine concentrates on unique, culturally relevant experiences for parents to do with their kids which will take adventures abroad and in the backyard to a higher level. This can range from elephant rides in Thailand to boating lessons in the Florida Keys—we offer insightful travel options for exceptional experiences. You won't find Mickey Mouse advice here; we believe that children are capable of great things and are able to adapt to exotic and unique situations right alongside their parents. There is almost no limit to where and when a child can travel with their family and we hope to encourage others to expand the minds of their little ones and explore the whole world!
Why we are different: The travel industry is flooded with publications that focus on budget travel, leisure travel, adventure travel, and travel to specific locations—and sometimes they print stories about traveling with kids. Parenting sites are filled with "how to travel with…" and "where to go with…" articles. Family travel websites focus on "family-friendly" locations, spring break and summer trips, as well as things you can do in popular destinations. Oftentimes this is good information, but it's generic and predictable, allowing for cookie-cutter trips to take with kids in crowded, family-only destinations.
Pure Wander Magazine focuses not on budget or destinations, but on offering readers eclectic, unforgettable excursions they can have across the globe with children of all ages. Our publication stands out because it offers a different perspective. We offer our readers more than a generic travel guide—Pure Wander illustrates where to go to make the most of your family trips and how you can do it.

Rare Footage Of The Special Effects Team Behind Star Wars
Reblogged from vimeo.com July 10th, 2009 at 5:17 pm 0 notes #movies #star wars
David Berry worked at George Lucas' special effects studio, Industrial Light & Magic, in the mid-1970s, when the now-legendary group brought Star Wars to life. He filmed everyday life around the ILM workshop, capturing special effects shot setups, model-making, and parking lot waterslide shenanigans. Now he's released a 10-minute video of the days of ILM before Skywalker Ranch and everything else. It's a sweet, fun look at the people who literally built the world of Star Wars out of paint cans and plastic molds. Check it out on Berry's Vimeo page. via io9

There's money on the floor, spray it spray it! There's money on the floor, spray it, spray it! This is not balling but this is our culture. If there's one thing I enjoy about being Nigerian is the parties. Beside the music and dancing, one thing that makes Nigerian parties so unique is "Spraying".
The best way I can explain spraying is: making it rain, throwing bands in the air at a party! Bands to make her dance (lol). Seriously though spraying when is the guests of the party shower the celebrant and their family in money. This usually happens at wedding receptions and birthday parties. The music is playing people are dancing, while that is happening the celebrant is getting spraying with money.
When I was around 7 or 8. We threw a birthday party for my grandmother, as a little kid I had so much fun running around and dancing. No exaggeration after that party I walked out with $189 dollars from getting sprayed with money. The next day my parents took that money and said it was going to my "college tuition" (little did I know lol).
If you haven't been to one yet, I recommend that you experience it one time in your life!

Ahmed Hassan Transforms Barren Backyard into Fabulous, Functional Outdoor Oasis for Family of Four
Episode HGTVD-111HSee all Episodes
Tune In
May 19, 2014
6:30 AM e/p
HGTV'D and landscape designer Ahmed Hassan take on the daunting task of overhauling the Clegg family's big and barren backyard in the middle of Texas. Lack of square footage in this huge yard is not the issue for this fun loving family of four. The challenge is how to take this oversized blank slate and turn it into a stylish, functional outdoor oasis that works for the entire family. By the time Ahmed is finished, the Clegg's backyard wasteland is transformed into the ultimate outdoor 'staycation' spot the entire family can enjoy for years to come.

The Blog is basically under maintenance, make sure you check back when it's ready. Should you want to have the most out of your current Offshore Bank.
Comment from our Bank Specialist: Hi there! Perla Geryol, I have a house in Odessa. I was self employed as a Lawyer. I like Sewing. This January, soon i will turn 25. Such a banking weblog site will actually be debonair.

then post your fine art here too !
I've seriously thought about it! but it feels too weird 8( like, the gap between the two modes of working is too different, and to have that contrast doesn't seem to do either of them justice. I just feel like it fits better on my personal blog.
i'm flattered you want to see it though!

It's kind of sad to me that you would pick Hyde over Murs haha..........
Larc is such a useless pop band D:... But then again everyone has thier own tastes. Too bad i'm up north, i'd like to go. I'd like to see Murs & Atmosphere (felt) perform sometime.
Posted 02 July 2006 - 06:26 PM

I liked it,
but I hated Beginning of the End (altho I most likely need to listen to it again).
those are the only two Ive listened to, I still needa hear the first 9th wonder / murs album.
oh and I also heard that 3MG's album, which sounded like the same song over and over! ugh...
anyway Murs is already confirmed for Rock the Bells, as is the entire Living Legends

I headed over there, but I couldn't get in... My friend got in but he was lined up since noon. I heard that the first person in line stood outside the venue since 9 in the morning. I was really after that 50% off merch sale, too... No crying over spilt milk, I'll be at Rock the Bells anyway.
I got there at about 3:45pm and got in but yeah thats crazy the guy that was there at 9:00am it was his birthday and Murs gave him a jacket and a shoutout on stage. I should be going to Rock the Bells too its going to be a crazy show with the lineup.

there is no way whatsoever I am gonna miss this:
Boot Camp on July 31 at knitting factory,
approximately 13 days after the release of their new album!!

that rock the bells show should be dope. i got that wu tang dvd they did a couple years ago, it looked wild. i also went to the odb tribute concert when they came to Boston, that shit was bonkers.
