Posted by Witch Hazel | Posted in 2013, year in review | Posted on 31-12-2013
It's that time of year again when everybody is looking back, waxing nostalgic and talking about what they ain't got time for in the new year. But, around these parts, we're thankful for what you DID have time for in 2013. Here are the top five Witches' Brew posts that you were checking for in 2013, according to our fancy counting machine on the Google.
5. That time Kelly Rowland closed the curtains on Keyshia Cole after Cole shaded the Destiny's Child Super Bowl performance.
4. You all were just as shocked as we were at Diddy's daughter flipping the bird on Instagram.
3. You rolled your eyes at R Kelly's audacity to think he could escape his past during an epic fail of a Twitter chat.
2. You now know that Sway DOES NOT POSSESS ALL THE ANSWERS, thanks to Kanye!
1. Lastly, one of our most important posts resonated with you in a big way. In July, we shared the story of "Courageous Christy" Tucker Sims, the survivor of a domestic attack in Atlanta. It was our most clicked post of the year. Thanks for your contributions to her medical fund. If you're still interested in donating, click here.
Thanks for your continued support of the Brew. Please keep sharing our posts, commenting and putting a like on it!

Boston Red Sox owner John Henry didn't like what the Miami Marlins thought about the Sox lineup the other day. After reading the lineup card earlier in the week, Marlins executives were "outraged" that only two regulars were in the Sox lineup, and that this was a "gross violation" of league rules. League rules states that at least four players that were regulars last year, or are competing for a position on the MLB club must be in the lineup.
Anyone who has been following the Sox knows about their injury troubles during this spring. Shane Victorino has been all over ESPN.com, and Jake Peavy's injury is still making the rounds as an internet goof. Keep in mind the injury reports teams receive before playing one another, and I don't understand how Marlins executives are being serious.
This complaint come from a team that featured some of the worst lineups I have ever seen in 2013. Something tells me that Marlins owners aren't considering giving 2013 season-ticket holders any refunds for what they trotted out last year. If you asked me to name the Marlins lineup off the top of my head, I couldn't even come close to doing so. They are even entertaining a trade of their only star, Giancarlo Stanton. If he goes, good luck getting people to that ridiculous building they call a ballpark.
John Henry shares similar views to myself and much of the baseball world. This weekend, Henry tweeted, "They should apologize for their regular season lineup." I am sure Henry will be getting a call from league offices soon, and will be getting a slap on the wrist, or the lightest of fines from the commissioner's office.
I appreciate Henry's honesty, as he is normally a behind-the-scenes guy who has been bashed for his behavior with the likes of Terry Francona and others. This side of Henry could really connect with Sox fans all over the country, and I hope he has a bit more 'Mark Cuban," in him over the course of the season. I wasn't following his twitter account prior to the season, but now I know I will be checking it out after any Red Sox-related news.

- Matching Gifts
Jennifer Arbella
Program of Emphasis: Biochemistry
Hometown: Miami, FL
High School: South Miami Sr High School
Why I chose to attend Juniata: I never thought about going to a small college out in the middle of nowhere. I decided to apply because my high school CAP advisor saw that it was a college with a high acceptance rate into medical school. She told me to further look into it, and I did. After receiving my acceptance letter, I was not convinced that I wanted to go. I had the option of a fully paid four year scholarship at another college. However, Juniata sent me a hand-written birthday card that arrived on the day of my birthday. This card made all the difference. At that moment I knew that any college that would take the time to personally write me a birthday card was the college I wished to attend. I was not able to go and visit because I could not afford it financially but I did not need to. To be completely honest, I did not even look at pictures of the Juniata campus before I accepted. I am glad that I accepted, I could not picture myself anywhere else.
Clubs and Organizations: I have been a member of HOSA (freshman year), Spanish Club (member), and ASBMB (vice president).
Internship: Last summer (2013), I was fortunate to be selected into the SURF program at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. It was an incredible experience! I was working in Dr. Yu's lab under the guidance of Julia Zhu. I was studying the specificity of a gene deletion to a glia cell. I was also testing other genes that my mentor and I believed might be regulated due to the gene deletion using qPCR. In addition, I learned how to do the following experiments on my own: mouse handling, DNA gel electrophoresis, PCR, Perfusion, RNA extraction, RT-qPCR, and western blots.
Research Participation: Transcriptional changes in cKO mice Juniata College is collaborating with UT Southwestern Medical Center in an ongoing research project that I was a part of last summer (2013). In the summer, I confirmed the specificity of the gene deletion to a specific type of glia cell (brain cells). Currently, I will be receiving RNAseq data from UT Southwestern Medical Center and will use Galaxy for bioinformatics analysis.
Most Interesting Class: My most interesting class is my research class (if that counts as a class) because I am doing what I love. Being in the lab motivates me to continue studying. I love doing wet-lab experiments and I even enjoy searching the literature because I know that both of these aspects will help me obtain and understand my results.
Favorite Faculty Member: Juniata College has made a wise decision in selecting Dr. Daniel Dries as the new biochemistry professor. Dr. Dries has helped me become a scientist not just a student who studies science. He has helped me learn to think things through and understand why things happen they way they do. I am glad that Dr. Dries is not only my professor but my research advisor as well. He takes the time to discuss my possible graduate school options. These meetings have helped me make my final decision on my next steps towards my career.
Honors Received: I have been inducted in HOSA, though I am not on a pre-med track.
Thank you!
For the past four years I have been extremely thankful for receiving this scholarship. Without this scholarship and my academic scholarship, I know that I would not be sitting here today writing this thank you note. I have loved every moment I have spent at Juniata College. I have grown as an individual. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to study in a different state. I have learned about different cultures (foods, fashion, and even language) and immersed myself with a different type of friend group that I thought I would never be a part of. Being at Juniata I gained more knowledge not only within my field but about life as well. Again, thank you.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail has inspired generations of fans. Now it needs its own game.
There's no question about it: the market is flush with massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-games.
Some of these have had a long and successful run, such as World of Warcraft. Others have faded into obscurity.
Still others, like BioWare's recently launched Star Wars: The Old Republic are struggling to keep up subscription numbers even just months after release. A reasonable person might ask whether we've simply reached a point where the market is saturated.
These days MMOs are adopting a free-to-play model. Revenue is generated through microtransactions rather than purchases or subscriptions. This lowers the barrier to entry for developers and gamers alike.
But even with such a crowded market, I think there's room for one more MMORPG and I think, if executed properly, people would play it: Monty Python's Holy Grail The Game.
It pretty much writes itself.
Let's speculate, just for fun, on what this game would theoretically look like.
1. The Factions
There would be no choice of race in this game. Rather, you'd get to pick one of two factions: The English or The French. This would open up a world of player-vs-player (PvP) options, including some really great tactical sieges. Each character class would need to be open to both factions, even though in the film the French are apparently just a handful of knights.
2. The Character Classes
At least at the outset, there would only be six character classes to choose from. Because this is Monty Python, the classes are restricted by sex, so only Witches and Grail Maidens could be female. However, all male classes would have the option of dressing in drag because, well, this is Monty Python.
Knights are strong, heavily-armored, and not terribly bright. Armed with sword and shield, Knights are the tanks of Monty Python's Holy Grail: The Game. Not known for brilliant tactics, they nevertheless make up for this by being extremely bloodthirsty. Occasionally a Knight will suffer from Cowardice, causing them to bravely turn their tail and run during encounters with monsters. Bloodlust also sometimes afflicts Knights, causing them to slaughter peasants without mercy. (Lawful Good)
The highly educated Monk class is equipped with Holy Artifacts, including Holy Hand Grenades. Preferring to fight from a distance, Monks make excellent travelling companions for the brawnier Knights. Already dressed in robes and preferring the company of other men, Monks are an ideal class if you'd like to play in drag. (Neutral Good)
Witches can walk on water and cast various other spells, but run the risk of being attacked by peasant mobs when visiting villages. Unfortunately, they have a weak spot for fire. (True Neutral)
Speaking of fire, the Enchanter is a powerful magic user though limited primarily to long range explosive spells. At close range, the Enchanter fights by spitting at his enemies. (Chaotic Evil)
Though they have a peculiar weakness to cannibalization, the Minstrel can confuse enemies with their array of Music powers. They can also boost morale for Knights suffering from bouts of Cowardice, though this risks inflicting said Knights with Bloodlust. (Chaotic Neutral)
Grail Maiden
Experienced Healers, the Grail Maidens are also adept at Illusion as well as a few other powers we won't mention here. (Chaotic Evil or Lawful Good.)
Next up: Monsters and Combat
3. Combat and Monsters
There are plenty of monsters sure to nip at the heels of our adventurers as they clip-clop about our fantastical Great Britain. Combat, of course, would be a particularly bloody affair. Each monster has its own strengths and weaknesses, and some are better tackled by particular Classes.
Killer Bunnies
Devilishly fast and hard to hit, these ferocious rodents are best dealt with using explosives.
Although huge and deadly, these three-headed monstrosities are also prone to bickering amongst themselves. If overcome with a fit of Cowardice, running is a reasonable option. Otherwise, prepare for a fight.
Black Knights
Highly trained, these dark-clad vassals have poor social skills and seemingly endless reserves of hit-points. Try lopping off their limbs.
Don't try to fight these many-eyed beasts on your own. Best to team up with other players before crawling any dungeon infested with these creatures. Occasionally they will disappear without explanation.
Armed with billy clubs and the power of confusion, police make formidable foes.
Try charging. If these heavily armored, flowery baddies don't expect an attack they can be taken unawares.
Especially dangerous to Witches, some Peasants can also cause trouble for Knights (especially if you've become a King.)
This is just a handful of the possible bad guys you would encounter. Not listed: The Knights Who Say Ni, Cat Ladies, and much, much more. In an ideal world, the combat would be the one serious component of this game. MMOs are far too often just point, click, hack, slash. Some actual tactical fighting would be nice. Especially if you could lop of heads and limbs in the process.
Next up: Quests, Mounts, Concept Art, etc.
4. Quests, Adventuring, Mounts and Items
All quests would be handed down by the big guy in the sky. But don't ask too many questions. Unlike most RPGs which require you to pester NPCs with endless queries, this quest-master is an impatient deity with a habit of smiting people. These quests would include, but not be limited to, finding old cups.
Monty Python's Holy Grail: The Game would feature lots of puzzles and trick questions. Failure to answer properly would mean a swift death-by-gorge or some other violent demise (though puzzles would certainly not be limited to questions about the air-speed velocity of unladen swallows.)
While some items, like muck, can be purchased from local Peasants, new armor and weapons are usually found in ponds across the game, where watery tarts have a tendency to lob scimitars at players.
Naturally there would be no mounts in the game, but you would have the ability to get better Squires and more resonant Coconuts.
These can be found in:
Concept Art
Thanks to Terry Gilliam's unique graphic design, we already have a trove of concept art at our fingertips. The game could easily use a polished, 3D-ified version of Gilliam's artwork as a leaping off point for its aesthetic.
Now, there's no reason this game would necessarily need to be an MMORPG. It could very well be a co-op RPG similar to Diablo, or a single-player RPG for that matter.
The reason MMORPG came to mind is that, although I'm not much of an MMORPG player, I do think the big open, social world would make for some really unique and funny interactions. Monty Python has inspired generations of dorks to quote it at length, making the social potential of an online game really exciting.
Indeed, although this is largely a tongue-in-cheek post, I would love to see a game like this.
So is there anything I missed? What would you like to see in a Monty Python RPG, whether single-player, co-op, or MMO?

The Dallas Cowboys and defensive end Anthony Spencer have ended negotiations on a possible contract extension. Spencer has gotten the franchise tag the last couple of seasons and will become a free agent again at the end of this season.
Spencer had his first double digit sack season last year, finishing up with 11. He also finished with 95 tackles, becoming the only player in the league last season with 10+ sacks and 90+ tackles.
The Cowboys are switching their defense from a 4-3 to a 4-3 this season. It will be interesting to see how Spencer will do in the new system since he will be asked to do different things. That may be a reason why the Cowboys wanted to stop negotiations. They need to see how he will adjust to the new defense.
Spencer will be a hot free agent again next offseason. He will be a good edge rusher for some team to throw dough at. He can get after the quarterback and is good against the run. He should get another nice payday next season and finally have a contract that lasts longer than a year.

Maybe having 2 young controllable, projectable outfielders on the market helps loosen up the market a little bit.

The Mets have nice depth with pitching now, but a lot of the guys are still far away or still question marks with regard to what their projections are. Within a year or two, the system will be deeper and guys will have more solid prospect value. I would say the Mets will be in perfect position to trade for a guy like Stanton, say after the 2014 season, right when he is getting pricey for the Marlins (that is, if the Marlins are not blown away by the Rangers before then or one of the few top prospect heavy/win-now organizations out there).---------------------------------------------The Mets don't match up on Stanton for two reasons: 1) the Marlins won't want to face GS 19 times a season, and 2) the Mets lack position prospects to swing the deal. Arm prospects aren't enough to acquire a young slugger like that.

Otherwise you're just robbing Peter to pay Paul, as DrDooby likes to say.

Mike Stanton for Wheeler, Syndergaard, Flores, and Reese HavensThat's an even trade but I don't do it or any other trade that would be considered fair. Stanton should be incredibly painful to get. Too painful for me. I have visions of Wheeler, Harvey, and Niese leading this team for years to come and this clearly messes with that plan.

Eagles/Indiana/Mets/Villanova: it's a long story

Posted: 2/26/2013 10:34 AM
A source close to the SFX Baseball Group, an agency representing some of the biggest stars in the game, told me this morning that the Marlins have recently discussed a trade that would include sending recently signed Juan Pierre (an SFX client) and Giancarlo Stanton to the New York Mets, for super pitching prospect Zack Wheeler, obtained from the Giants in the Carlos Beltran trade, and minor league catcher Travis D'Arnaud, the centerpiece in the R.A. Dickey deal. But wait, the Marlins are publicly telling people that Stanton will not be traded, aren't they? They sure are, but pay no attention because no Marlins executive is to be believed, most notably Jeffrey Loria, the team's owner.

LinkedIn is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this week, so I thought I'd join the party and give you my thoughts on what their success means to you, the marketer.
To begin with, if you're ever feeling discouraged about your company's growth, spend a few minutes flipping through "A Brief History of LinkedIn" on Slideshare. The creator was kind enough to share snapshots of start-up meeting notes, original site designs and early comments from the first users.
This is blurry, but I think it's worth noting, so bear with. . .
Right off the bat, users found some pretty big flaws in the site design and concept.

ployee with cancer (or a history of cancer) because of concerns about increased costs due to insurance expenses and lost productivity or because of concerns about the psychological impact of a survivors' cancer history on other employees. Some employers may fail to revise their personnel policies to comply with new laws, and even among those with updated policies, employers may not train their personnel managers properly to comply with these laws. The interpretation of laws designed to prohibit discriminatory practices is sometimes unclear and is being resolved in the courts. Some employers and co-workers treat cancer survivors differently from other workers, in part, because they have misconceptions about survivors' abilities to work during and after cancer treatment (Working Woman/ Amgen, 1996; Yankelovich, 1992).
Although cancer survivors do not have an unqualified right to obtain and retain employment, they do have the right to some freedom from discrimination and to be treated according to their individual abilities. Three federal laws—the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act—provide cancer survivors with some protection against employment discrimination.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) prohibits some types of job discrimination by employers, employment agencies, and labor unions against people who have or have had cancer. All private employers with 15 or more employees, state and local governments, the legislative branch of the federal government, employment agencies, and labor unions are covered by the ADA.
A "qualified individual with a disability" is protected by the ADA if he or she can perform the "essential functions" of the job. The ADA prohibits employment discrimination against individuals with a "disability," a "record" of a "disability," or who are "regarded" as having a "disability." A "disability" is a major health "impairment" that substantially limits the ability to do everyday activities, such as drive a car or go to work.
Cancer is an "impairment" as defined by the law. In most circumstances, cancer survivors, regardless of whether they are in treatment, in remission, or cured, are protected as persons with a disability because their cancer substantially limited a major life activity. Indeed, many federal courts and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) consider cancer in most circumstances to be a disability under the ADA

1994 Historic Snow, Ice, Extreme Cold: 20-Year Anniversary
Dennis Holman of California and his dog Sunny make their way along the frozen shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago on Jan. 19, 1994. The previous day's high of -11 tied the city's coldest high temperature in history. (Photo credit: BRIAN BAHR/AFP/Getty Images)
The winter of early 1994 was marked by a pair of historic, billion-dollar winter storms.
Arctic air was already in place Jan. 16 across most of the East as a storm gathered over the Plains. It was so cold that even on the "warm" side of the approaching storm, where southerly winds usually bring rain, most of the precipitation was instead snow. A stripe of heavy snow buried the Ohio Valley Jan. 16-17, bringing 15.9 inches of snow to Louisville, Ky. in 24 hours – the biggest snowstorm in Louisville history to this day. Parts of Kentucky and Ohio saw 20 to 30 inches of snow.
As the next blast of arctic air settled in over a large and deep snowpack, all-time record lows were broken on Jan. 19 – most of which stand to this day. Louisville dropped to -22ºF; not far away, Shelbyville, Ky. broke the state record low, hitting -37ºF.
Indianapolis set its all-time record low of -27ºF and the nearby town of New Whiteland hit -36ºF to break the all-time Indiana record low. Ohio was also bitterly cold, with Columbus setting an all-time record low of -22ºF.
Economic losses from the snowstorm and widespread extreme cold reached $1.3 billion (2012 dollars).
From Feb. 8-12, 1994, areas of low pressure rippled along a front marking the southern edge of an expansive arctic air mass. This resulted in a massive ice storm for a broad swath of the South and Mid-Atlantic, from northeast Texas all the way to Maryland. An unusually large area was affected by ice accumulations of 1 inch or greater, causing widespread destruction to trees and power infrastructure.
North Mississippi took the worst damage; there, an incredibly thick ice glaze of up to 6 inches caused $1.3 billion in damage to commercial forests alone, and some residents lost power for a month.
With an inflation-adjusted $4.7 billion in economic losses, the February 1994 ice storm ranks as the second-costliest winter storm since 1980, behind the 1993 Superstorm.

Security Lancaster to tackle cyber-threats at one of the UK's top science festivals
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Security Lancaster will be appearing at one of the UK's most prestigious science festival this summer to discuss threats posed by the increased connectivity of the world around us.
Dr Daniel Prince, associate director of Security Lancaster - a Lancaster University research centre - will appear at this year's Cheltenham Science Festival to talk about the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things is the term given for everyday objects, and infrastructure, that are connected to the Internet so they can provide live data, and be controlled, remotely.
Dr Prince will take to the stage with the BBC's Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, and Andy Stanford-Clark, an IBM research engineer who has a house that Tweets.
"Fridges that automatically replace your milk, cars that tell your coffee machine you are almost home and dynamic road maintenance based on real-time conditions - these are just some of the benefits that could arise from the Internet of Things," said Dr Prince.
However, with all the benefits come certain risks. As more and more objects become attached to connected systems, they become more vulnerable to malicious threats.
"I am excited to be discussing these issues at this year's Cheltenham Science Festival. This is a very prestigious event and I am looking forward to representing Lancaster University on stage with two fantastic panellists."
The Times Cheltenham Science Festival takes place from June 3-8.
Previous guests at the event have included science heavyweights such as Peter Higgs and each year the festival has famous guest directors such as Dara O'Briain and Brian Cox.

The South Carolina Gamecocks football team represents the University of South Carolina (USC) in the sport of American football. The Gamecocks compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Steve Spurrier is the current head coach, and the team plays its home games at Williams-Brice Stadium, also known as "The Cock Pit". Currently, it is the 20th largest stadium in college football.
USC's SEC tenure has been highlighted by an SEC East title in 2010, Final Top-25 rankings in 2000, 2001, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 (AP No. 19, No. 13, No. 22, No. 9, No. 8 and No. 4), and four wins over Top-5 SEC opponents, (No. 4 Ole Miss in 2009, No. 1 Alabama in 2010, No. 5 Georgia in 2012 and at No. 5 Missouri in 2013).
From 1953 through 1970, the Gamecocks played in the Atlantic Coast Conference, winning the 1969 ACC championship and finishing No. 15 in the 1958 final AP poll. From 1971 through 1991, they competed as a major independent, producing 1980 Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers, six bowl appearances, and Final Top-25 rankings in 1984 and 1987 (AP No. 11 and No. 15).
The Gamecocks have produced a National Coach of the Year in Joe Morrison, three SEC coaches of the year in Lou Holtz (2000) and Steve Spurrier (2005, 2010), and one ACC coach of the year in Paul Dietzel (1969). They also have three members of the College Football Hall of Fame in Rogers, Holtz and Spurrier. Carolina has 19 bowl appearances, with a 7–12 record.
Carolina fielded its first football team on Christmas Eve, in Charleston, SC, in 1892 versus Furman.[2] At that time the football team was not sanctioned by the University.[3] They provided their own uniforms and paid their own train fare in order to participate in the game.[4] They were nicknamed the "College Boys" by The News and Courier and their supporters wore garnet and black.[5]
USC won its first game in its third season, on November 2, 1895 against Columbia AA.[6] The squad designated their first head coach, W.H. "Dixie" Whaley, the following year.[7] The 1896 season also saw the inaugural game against arch-rival Clemson on November 12, which Carolina won 12–6.[8] From 1902 to 1903, coach C. R. Williams led the Gamecocks to a 14–3 record.[9] 1903 also heralded the program's first 8-win season with an overall record of 8–2.[10] The Board of Trustees banned participation in football for the 1906 season after the faculty complained that the coarseness of chants and cheers, yelled by the students at football games, were not gentlemanly in nature. Within months The Board of Trustees reversed their decision after hearing pleas, and receiving petitions, from students and alumni alike. Play was allowed to resume in 1907. A hastily assembled football team, coached by Board of Trustees member Douglas McKay, competed in an abbreviated season that same year, and the squad won all three games.[11]
Billy Laval, a Columbia, SC native, came to USC from Furman.[12] Laval accepted a three-year contract worth $8,000 per year to coach the Gamecocks, which made him the highest-paid coach in the state.[13] From 1928 to 1934, he led the Gamecocks to seven consecutive winning seasons and a 39–26–6 overall record, which included a perfect 3–0 Southern Conference campaign in 1933. The undefeated conference record earned the Gamecocks the Southern Conference Co-Championship, along with Duke.[14] However, this championship is currently not recognized by either the school[15] or the Southern Conference.[16] Laval is the only South Carolina football coach to have produced seven consecutive winning seasons. In 2009, The State called him "the greatest collegiate coach" in the history of South Carolina.[13] Laval left USC after six seasons to coach multiple sports at Emory and Henry College, partly due to differences over his contract with the USC athletics department.
Don McCallister led the Gamecocks for three seasons before being replaced. His final record is 13–20–1.[17]
Under coach Rex Enright, who came to USC from his post as an assistant coach at Georgia,[18] the Gamecocks produced another undefeated Southern Conference season, (4–0–1), in 1941.[19] After the 1942 season, Enright joined the United States Navy serving as a lieutenant and working mostly in their athletic program in the United States.[20] He returned to the Gamecocks in 1946 as head football coach succeeding John D. McMillan, and remained until 1955 when he resigned for health reasons.[21] He hired Warren Giese as his successor, and continued as athletic director until 1960. The Rex Enright Athletic Center on the South Carolina campus was named for him and the Rex Enright Award (also known as the Captain's Cup) given to the football captains of the previous season.[22] Enright gave-up his coaching duties in 1955 due to reasons related to poor health.[23] Enright retired with the distinction of being the head coach with the most wins and losses in school history (64–69–7), at the time.[24]
Warren Giese, who was previously an assistant coach at Maryland, was hired as head coach in 1956, and he led the Gamecocks to a 28–21–1 overall record in his 5-year tenure.[25] Giese employed a conservative, run-first game strategy, but he enthusiastically adopted the two-point conversion when it was made legal in 1958. That year, he also correctly predicted the rise of special teams after the NCAA relaxed its player substitution rules.[26] The Giese era included two 7–3 campaigns (1956 and 1958),[27] an 18–15–1 ACC record, and a 27–21 victory over Darrell Royal's 1957 Texas squad in Austin. Griese was replaced after a 3–6 season in 1960.
Marvin Bass was hired away from Georgia Tech, where he served as defensive coordinator, as the Gamecocks head football coach.[28] He posted a 17–29–4 record in his four-year tenure and was replaced after five seasons due to the team's struggles and low fan support.[29][30]
Paul Dietzel arrived in Columbia prior to the 1966 season, having previously coached at LSU, where he won a national championship, and Army.[31]
In 1969, he led the Gamecocks to an ACC championship and an appearance in the Peach Bowl. As a result, Dietzel was named ACC Coach of the Year that season.[32] Soon after, South Carolina left the ACC and became an Independent program prior to the 1971 season.[33] Dietzel finished his USC tenure with a 42–53–1 overall record (18–10–1 ACC).[34] In addition to the 1969 ACC title, Dietzel's legacies at Carolina include his improvement of athletic facilities and his penning of a new fight song, which is still used to this day ("The Fighting Gamecocks Lead the Way").[35] Amid growing fan unrest after an upset loss to Duke, Dietzel announced that he would resign at the end of the season, which ended in a 4–7 record.[36]
Jim Carlen, previously head football coach at Texas Tech and West Virginia, took over as coach in 1975.[37] Under his leadership the program achieved a measure of national prominence. Carlen led the Gamecocks to three bowl games,[38] coached 1980 Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers, and produced a 45–36–1 record during his tenure.[33] The Carlen Era included consecutive 8–4 finishes (1979–1980) and only one losing season in seven years.[39] In addition, the 1980 Gamecocks defeated a heavily favored Michigan squad coached by the legendary Bo Schembechler. The 17-14 victory in Ann Arbor, which made Rogers a household name, was one of the biggest wins in both the Carlen Era and the program's history.
Carlen retired from coaching after seven seasons at USC.[40]
Joe Morrison was hired in 1983 following a one-year stint by Richard Bell.[41] After a 5–6 mark in his first year, the "Man in Black" led South Carolina to a 10–2 record, No. 11 final AP Poll ranking, and a Gator Bowl appearance in 1984. It was also before the 1984 season began that the team removed the Astroturf that had been in place at Williams-Brice Stadium since the early 1970s and reinstalled the natural grass that remains today. The 1984 season included victories over Georgia, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Florida State, and Clemson. The 1984 defense was called the "Fire Ant" defense. In 1987, the Gamecocks posted an 8–4 record, No. 15 Final AP Poll ranking, and another Gator Bowl trip.[42] The 1987 Gamecocks were led by the "Black Death" defense, which held seven opponents to 10 or fewer points and yielded just 141 points in 12 games played. Morrison coached his last game in the 1988 Liberty Bowl,[43] as he died on February 5, 1989 at the age of 51.[44] He finished his USC tenure with a 39–28–2 overall record, three bowl appearances, and three seasons with 8 or more wins.[33][45] Due to his on-field success and "Man in Black" image, Morrison remains a popular figure in Gamecock lore. Morrison also began the tradition at Carolina, with his first game in 1983, of the pre-game entrance of the football team to the song, "2001: A Space Odyssey". This is still part of the Carolina football game day experience over 30 years later.[46]
Following Morrison's death, Sparky Woods was hired away from Appalachian State as head coach in 1989 and coached the Gamecocks until the end of the 1993 season.[47] He posted winning seasons in 1989 and 1990, but could not produce another winning campaign during his tenure.[48] Woods led the USC football program through the transition to the SEC and has the distinction of being South Carolina's first head coach in SEC play, as the Gamecocks entered the conference in 1992. Woods' overall record at South Carolina was 25–27–3.[49]
Brad Scott left his post as offensive coordinator at Florida State and took over as the Gamecocks head coach in December 1993.[50] Despite modest preseason expectations, he led USC to a 7–5 record and a Carquest Bowl victory over West Virginia in his first season.[51] The bowl win was the first post-season victory in the program's long history. However, Scott was unable to capitalize on his early success and maintain the success, as USC won only six games during his final two seasons in Columbia.[33] Scott was fired by athletics director Mike McGee after a 1–10 season in 1998 in which the Gamecocks lost their final ten games of the season.[52] Scott's final record at South Carolina was 23–32–1 in five seasons.[53]
Former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz came out of retirement and was hired as USC's head coach in 1999.[54] He inherited a relatively young SEC program (joined in 1992) that posted only three winning seasons from 1990 to 1998. USC won just a single game the year before Holtz's arrival and, subsequently, went 0–11 in his inaugural campaign.[55]
It didn't take long for Holtz to improve the Gamecocks' fortunes, however, as he engineered 8–4 and 9–3 records in the 2000 and 2001 seasons.[56] In addition, USC won consecutive Outback Bowls over Ohio State and produced the most successful two-year run in program history (at the time), going 17–7 overall and 10–6 in SEC play.[57] The 2000 and 2001 campaigns also saw USC's return to the polls, as the Gamecocks turned in No. 19 and No. 13 rankings in the Final AP ballots for those years. After consecutive 5–7 finishes in 2002 and 2003 (in which the team was ranked in the Top 25 during both seasons),[58] Holtz ended his USC tenure on a winning note with a 6–5 record in 2004[59] before retiring again.[60] Holtz finished with a 33–37 overall record at South Carolina, going 33–26 after his first season.[33][61]
In 2005, USC was placed on 3-year probation by the NCAA for actions during the coaching tenure of Lou Holtz, all of which were self-reported by the school. Five of these actions were considered major violations, and included such activities as impermissible tutoring and non-voluntary summer workouts as well as a "lack of institutional control".[62] Coach Holtz pointed out following the close of the investigation, "There was no money involved. No athletes were paid. There were no recruiting inducements. No cars. No jobs offered. No ticket scandal, etc."[63]
Former Washington Redskins head coach Steve Spurrier, who achieved fame after a very successful stint as head coach at his alma mater Florida, was hired in 2005 to replace the retiring Holtz.[64] Spurrier led the Gamecocks to a 7–5 record and Independence Bowl appearance in his first season.[65] As a result, Spurrier was named the 2005 SEC Coach of the Year.[66] The 2006 season saw continued success under Spurrier, as the Gamecocks posted an 8–5 record and a victory over Houston in the Liberty Bowl.[67] South Carolina posted consecutive 7–6 records in 2008 and 2009, returning to postseason play with appearances in the Outback Bowl and PapaJohns.com Bowl.[68]
In 2010, Spurrier scored another first with the first SEC Eastern Division Championship in school history.[69] On November 13, 2010, the Gamecocks defeated Florida 36–14 to clinch the division.[70] Prior to this contest, USC had an all-time record of 0–12 at The Swamp.[71] Freshman RB Marcus Lattimore rushed for 212 yards and 3 touchdowns in the game.[72] Spurrier got his first win in Gainesville as a Gamecock, received a "Gatorade Bath" from his players, and became the first coach to win the SEC East with two different teams.[73] Earlier in the season, the Gamecocks posted the first win over a No. 1 team in program history, with a 35–21 victory over top-ranked, defending national champion Alabama.[74]
In 2011, Spurrier led USC to its most successful season in program history. The Gamecocks posted an 11–2 overall record, went 6–2 in SEC play,[75] and defeated No. 20 Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl[76] to earn Final Top 10 rankings in the AP and Coaches' Polls (No. 9 and No. 8, respectively). Along the way, USC defeated Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and Clemson in the same season the first time in program history.
USC was investigated in 2011–12 by the NCAA after it came to light that student-athletes (including some football players) had received an estimated $59,000 in impermissible benefits, mainly the result of discounted living expenses at a local hotel. The school imposed its own punishment, paying $18,500 in fines and cutting three football scholarships in each of the 2013 and 2014 seasons.[77] The school also reduced its official visits for the 2012–13 year, from 56 to 30. The NCAA ruled this self-imposed punishment as adequate, stating that "the violations were limited in scope" and "there was no unethical conduct in this case", and went on to praise the school's handling of the affair, with the chairman of the NCAA infractions committee stating, "This has been one of the best cases I have seen from a process standpoint...In this case, it was obvious to the committee that the university wanted to get to the truth." The commissioner went on to state that USC "wanted to ask all the hard questions of all the right people and, in some cases, they even went beyond what the NCAA staff was doing."[78]
In 2012 Steve Spurrier, once again, led his USC football team to double-digit wins during the course of the regular season campaign.[79] The 2012 regular season culminated with the annual season-ending game against arch rival Clemson at Clemson's Memorial Stadium. Spurrier and his Gamecocks emerged with a fourth consecutive double-digit victory over the Tigers – a victory marked by Spurrier winning his 65th game at Carolina and, in doing so, becoming the winningest coach in Gamecock football history surpassing Rex Enright's 64 win total.[80] Spurrier led the Gamecocks to a thrilling 33–28 victory in the Outback Bowl against the winningest program in college football, Michigan.[81] The victory elevated the Gamecocks to an 11–2 record for the 2nd consecutive season.[82] Additionally, by finishing 8th in the Associated Press poll and 7th in the Coaches poll, South Carolina finished in Top 10 of both polls for a 2nd consecutive campaign.
In 2013 Spurrier and the Gamecocks finished with another extremely successful 11–2 season. The season started off to a convincing 27-10 win over North Carolina,[83] although they fell to Georgia for the first time in four years, 41-30.[84] Steve and the Gamecocks went on to a four game winning streak until falling to Tennessee in Knoxville after starting quarterback Connor Shaw left the game with a knee injury.[85] In the following game against division leading #5 Missouri, Shaw was benched due to injury over backup Dylan Thompson.[86] After a weak performance from the Gamecocks in the first three quarters, Shaw was put in the game in the fourth quarter with South Carolina down 0-17. Shaw went on to lead a historic comeback in which the Gamecocks beat Missouri in double overtime, 27-24.[87] That game was the first of a six game winning streak in which Spurrier and Carolina won the rest of their games, posting another 11–2 season. The Gamecocks also defeated #6 Clemson for the fifth year in a row, a school record, by a score of 31-17. Spurrier also led the Gamecocks to a Capital One Bowl victory over Wisconsin 34-24.[88][89] South Carolina finished with the highest ranking in school history in the AP poll, ranked at #4 in the country.[90]

The Carolina-Clemson Rivalry is the largest annual sporting event, (ticket sales), in the state of South Carolina. Clemson holds a 65–42–4 lead in the series which dates back to 1896. Historically, the final score in the game, (on average), has been decided by less than a touchdown.[91][92] From 1896 to 1959, the Carolina-Clemson game was played, on the fairgrounds, in Columbia, SC and was referred-to as "Big Thursday". In 1960 an alternating-site format was implemented utilizing both teams' home stadiums. The annual game has since been designated "The Palmetto Bowl." The last seven contests, between the programs, have been nationally televised (3 on ESPN, 4 on ESPN2).
The South Carolina-Georgia Rivalry, South Carolina's "border rivalry" with Georgia, dates back to 1894. Georgia holds a 47–17–2 overall lead in the series however, since SEC expansion in 1990, the series has been far more competitive with Georgia holding a 14–8 advantage.[93] Historically, one of the more memorable games was the 1980 tilt between future Heisman Trophy winners George Rogers and Herschel Walker. Led by Walker's 219 rushing yards, Georgia won 13–10 and would go on to capture the National Championship. Rogers turned in 168 rushing yards during the course of the battle, setting the stage for a successful finish to his senior season and eventual Heisman Trophy award. The last 16 match-ups between the schools have been nationally televised, dating back to 1997 (6 on ESPN2, 5 on ESPN and 4 on CBS).
The USC-Florida rivalry is the most recently added secondary-rival of USC's. This rivalry was automatically born when former Florida player (1963-1966) and head football coach (1990-2001) Steve Spurrier was hired as USC's head football coach in 2005. In Spurrier's first season, at the Gamecock helm, USC spoiled UF's SEC championship hopes by upsetting the Gators, in Columbia, SC, and thus igniting the rivalry almost instantly afterwards. In 2010, South Carolina clinched their first SEC Eastern Division title with a commanding 36–14 win in The Swamp in Gainesville, FL. Florida currently holds a 24–7–3 lead in the series, while Spurrier holds a 4–5 record versus his alma mater while wearing the garnet and black colors of the Gamecocks.[94]

In 1933, under the direction of the legendary Billy Laval, the Gamecocks went undefeated in conference play to win the school's first conference championship. They would share the honor with Duke, which also went undefeated in conference play. Part of the championship season included shutout victories over Wofford, Clemson, Virginia Tech and NC State. This championship is currently not recognized by either the school[15] or the Southern Conference.[16]
In 1969, the Gamecocks won the ACC Championship by going undefeated in conference play. In its six ACC matchups, USC outscored its opponents by a 130–61 margin. The squad posted a 7–4 overall record with a Peach Bowl appearance against West Virginia to close the season (14–3 loss). Two years later, South Carolina left the ACC and competed as an Independent for two decades before joining the SEC in 1992.
Led by Coach Morrison, the 1984 Gamecocks became the first team in school history to win 10 games (10–2 record) and were ranked as high as No. 2 in the polls.. The Gamecocks finished No. 11 in the Final AP Poll. Along the way, they defeated Georgia, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Florida State, and Clemson to earn an appearance in the Gator Bowl against Oklahoma State (21–14 loss). At the time, the No. 11 final ranking was the highest ever achieved by South Carolina.
In 2010, the Gamecocks won their first SEC Eastern Division Championship, going 5–3 in conference play.[95] For the first time in school history, they defeated the No. 1 ranked team in the country (Alabama) and won at Florida in the division-clinching game.[95] The season also included victories over division foes Georgia, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt as well as instate Atlantic Coast Conference rival Clemson.[95] In their first appearance in the SEC Championship Game, the Gamecocks were demolished by Auburn, 56-17.
Led by Coach Spurrier, the 2011 Gamecocks achieved its most wins in a single season and finished in the Top 10 for the first time in program history. USC posted an 11–2 overall record, went 6–2 in SEC play, and won the Capital One Bowl to finish No. 9/8 in the Final AP and Coaches' Polls (respectively). Along the way, USC defeated Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and Clemson to extend its winning streak over its biggest rivals to 3 games. This was also the first season that USC posted a 5–0 record against their SEC Eastern Division opponents.
Again led by Coach Spurrier, the 2012–13 Gamecocks squad went 11–2, with their only losses coming at LSU and at Florida in consecutive weeks. USC finished 2012 by defeating rival Clemson 27–17, in Death Valley, to end the regular season. They were invited to play in the Outback Bowl, with the Gamecocks defeating the Michigan Wolverines, 33–28, in a close game decided by a 28-yard touchdown pass from Dylan Thompson to Bruce Ellington with under a minute to go. The Gamecocks finished the season ranked No. 8/7 in the Final AP and Coaches' Polls (respectively)
Coach Spurrier worked his magic once again during the 2013-14 season by leading the Gamecocks to their third consecutive eleven-win season, their two losses coming at the hands of Georgia in Athens and Tennessee in Knoxville. By the end of the 2013 campaign, Carolina held the longest home winning streak in the nation at 18. The 2013 regular season culminated with a fifth consecutive victory over instate rival Clemson, in Williams-Brice Stadium, and an invitation to play in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando versus the Wisconsin Badgers. Connor Shaw led the Gamecocks to a 34-24 victory and was named the MVP of the bowl. Carolina became only the twelfth program in NCAA D1 history to record three consecutive 11-win seasons, (Miami (FL), Nebraska, Florida State, Alabama, Southern California, LSU, Oklahoma, Boise State, Oregon, Stanford, Northern Illinois), and finished the season ranked No. 4 in both the AP and Coaches' Polls, the highest final ranking in program history.

USC's 1980 season was headlined by senior running back George Rogers ("Big George"), who led the nation in rushing with 1,894 yards. For his efforts, the Downtown Athletic Club named Rogers the winner of the 1980 Heisman Trophy award. Rogers beat out a strong group of players, including Georgia running back Herschel Walker. Rogers also earned spots on eight All-American teams, all First-team honors. Behind the Rogers-led rushing attack, the Gamecocks went 8–4 overall and earned an appearance in the Gator Bowl. Rogers is also the recipient of the 1980 Chic Harley Award, the 2004 Walter Camp Alumni of the Year award, a Pro-Bowl selection, an SEC Football Legend, a Super Bowl champion and an NFL Rookie of the Year.
From 2003 to 2006, Syvelle Newton played multiple positions for the Gamecocks and left his mark on the national record books in the process. He became one of only four players in college football history to record 600+ yards passing, rushing, and receiving (each) in a collegiate career.[96] In Newton's four seasons, he posted 2,474 passing yards (20 TD, 13 INT), 786 rushing yards (10 TD), and 673 receiving yards (3 TD). He also returned 6 kickoffs for 115 yards (19.2 average) and made 18 tackles and an assisted sack in limited defensive action.
In the 2009 season, USC wore a special uniform against Florida in support of the Wounded Warrior Project.[106]
In the 2011 season, USC wore special uniforms against Auburn in support of the Wounded Warrior Project.[106]
In the 2012 season, USC wore special uniforms against LSU in support of the Wounded Warrior Project.[106]
Before the start of the 2013 season, USC debuted new uniforms made by Under Armour. The stripes on the front of the shoulders were moved to the top of the shoulder. The uniforms contain 11 total stripes – the same number of buildings as the national historic landmark that is The Horseshoe on the campus of the university. As of now, the new uniforms consist of garnet jerseys and pants, and white jerseys and pants – with the combinations interchangeable. There was no announcement of a black uniform.

Empowering physicians, changing healthcare
Colleagues of Daniel Palestrant, MD,1 say he has a desire to contribute to society in several ways. He originally wanted to practice medicine and devote his life to patient care, but after giving it much thought, he decided to change his life's path, realizing it was more important to reach the healthcare community at large and make an ongoing impact. As the CEO of Cambridge, MA-based Sermo, Inc., Palestrant developed his concept into an online community where physicians and others in clinical medicine can communicate their ideas, problems, and solutions and essentially network in the process.

Back in June the NHL held its annual award ceremony out in Las Vegas. While everyone knows of the awards presented: Hart, Norris, and Vezina among others, there was another award that didn't get as much publicity that night. However, I am here to correct that and present you with the nominees for the first ever "DiPietro Award." It is given to the player who has a contract so long and so awful, there's between zero and no chance that it will run its course before being bought out by the team.
In case you forgot, Rick DiPietro was the first overall pick back in 2000 with the New York Islanders. The brash kid from Boston had yet to establish himself as a star in the league before the Islanders signed him to a 15-year contract in 2006. The contract was set to expire after he turned 40 years old. It didn't take a Mensa member to figure out that a 15-year deal for a goalie wasn't the wisest decision and only a few years later DiPietro began suffering injuries which ultimately led to the Islanders buying out the remainder of his contract after the 2012/13 season. Don't feel too bad for Rickey though…he'll be pulling in $1,500,000 a year through the 2028/29 season as a result of the buyout. Not a bad severance package.
Despite the DiPietro contract, teams just can't help themselves and continue to hand out head-scratching contracts every summer. And while there are truly some horrific contracts in the league, not everyone's contract is awful enough to make be nominated for the DiPietro Award. On that front we want to give an honorable mention to those players who just missed the cut for nominees: Josh Bailey (four years remaining, $3,500,000 cap hit), Deryk Engelland (three years remaining, $2,916,667 cap hit), Tyler Myers (five years remaining, $5,500,000 cap hit), Corey Crawford (six years remaining, $6,000,000 cap hit), Nathan Horton (six years remaining, $5,300,000 cap hit), and Mike Richards (six years remaining, $5,750,000 cap hit). Sorry fellas. You just missed the cut for this year's award. Don't fret though: with your terrible contract causing havoc on your team's cap situation, there's a great chance you'll be nominated next year. Just keep on doing what you're doing.
Now, I am proud to announce to you the nominees for the first ever DiPietro Award:

Bata Children's Programme through the Bata Health Clinic in partnership with the Nairobi Outpatient Centre conducted a one day medical camp at the St. Anthony's Children's Home on 27th July 2013, children from a neighboring children home – Elshadai were also invited for exercise. The BCP Medical Camp was aimed at identifying and addressing ailments affecting children at the homes as well as ensuring that the children remain medically fit. The camp saw more than 65 children from both, St Anthony's and Elshadai Children's Homes get medical checkups and treatment for various illnesses
The BCP volunteers actively took part in this exercise by helping in the arrangement of the venue, control and registration of the children and also interacting with them to share their love and advise on nutrition from experienced mothers in the team.
The Bata Health Clinical Officer in Charge said that an evaluation of the camp highlighted two important issues. "Firstly, greater attention needs to be paid to healthy diet especially for the little children and secondly, there is a need for the children homes attendants to learn basic First Aid skills so as to be able to handle minor medical issues."
According to Sister Alice, the initiative was rewarding. "We express our heartfelt thanks to Bata, BCP volunteers, the medical personnel for helping the less fortunate children in our society. Today's exercise is a good gesture of ensuring proper development of our children's health especially in this cold season". However, She expressed that they rely entirely on well wishers like Bata for such services and therefore there is a need for sustainable support from sponsors. The Children were happy to receive the medical services.
Bata has been supporting St Anthony's Children's Home for many years through Bata Children's Programme.
