The Polar Vortex Makes For Some Hilarious Twitter Pickup Lines
Photo: Image Source/REX USA.
It seems all anyone is talking about is the polar vortex. And, while frostbite is no laughing matter, there are still plenty of folks making light of the situation. TrèsSugar even rounded up a few hilarious tweets from the latest hashtag sensation, #polarvortexpickuplines. Yep, it appears that cabin fever is making folks get all worked up over these chilly conditions. Case meets point in this gem of a tweet: "Want to see the tip of my iceberg?"
While it seems about as juvenile as the kid making armpit noises in the back of the classroom, lines like "Who wants to touch a vagicicle?" are coming from adults across the nation. But, heck, we'll take the folks sending humorous tweets over those starting a parking spot brawl any day. After all, when life gives you snow, you have to throw a snowball or two. Click here to see the rest of the tweets. You never know, they may inspire you to come up with a whimsical line of your own. (TrèsSugar)

I want to fire a recursive function every 10 milliseconds, but setTimeout doesn't seem to take any value under 100, no matter what I put.
decrementCountdown = function() {
t = setTimeout("decrementCountdown()", 100);
Why can't I set a value under 1000 milliseconds?
EDIT : Looks like my timer is firing correctly...the problem is when I use it to call a function ( like Jquery's html() ). Even though setTimeout is calling the function at correct intervals, it won't fire any faster than 100 milliseconds.
Anyone know how I can make a countdown timer on my page that counts down by 10 milliseconds?

Chat with Kevin Gemmell
Welcome to SportsNation! On Wednesday, ESPN.com's Pac-12 blogger Kevin Gemmell will stop by to talk some college football.
Gemmell covered San Diego State and the Mountain West Conference for three years before joining ESPN.com. As a Santa Clara graduate, his hope is that the Broncos will one day re-institute football. Until then, he lives vicariously through his readers. Gemmell lives in California with his wife and son.
Send your questions now and join Gemmell Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET!

Kevin Gemmell (2:00 PM)
I see the Trojan 1981 impostors are out in force today. Cute. Let's get started.
Ben (Scotland)
Pretty straight forward question here, who do you believe wins the Pac-12 South and why?
Kevin Gemmell (2:01 PM)
Straight forward answer: I don't know. I could make a case for UCLA repeating, USC bouncing back, Arizona or Arizona State winning. All four teams have a lot of things going in their favor and all four have question marks. I will say I'm liking the look of ASU's defensive front. Going to be nasty.
Cam (Los Angeles)
Would you agree that UCLA has the best linebacker corp in the P12? Barr, Zumwalt, and Kendricks, plus to be determined.Favorite/Least Favorite GOT character?!
Kevin Gemmell (2:03 PM)
Wouldn't say they are the best. Not saying they aren't either. But Stanford's corp looks pretty darn good with Trent Murphy and Shayne Skov coming back -- along with A.J. Tarpley. That's going to be just as formidable -- if not more formidable then any other group in the conference.
Trojan1981 (Office)
Ha ha! I assure I have nothing to do with it!
Kevin Gemmell (2:03 PM)
I believe you. I believe you. I believe you. I believe you. I believe you. I believe you. I believe you. I believe you.
Tim (ATL)
clearly we need better Geography education in our country... why are UCLA players on the North squad at the senior bowl while Stanford and Cal players go for the South?
Kevin Gemmell (2:04 PM)
Interesting question. And to be honest, I have no idea. So we'll go with because it annoys you.
Crazy (Crazy Town)
Where do you put will sutton in the post season top 25?
Kevin Gemmell (2:04 PM)
In the top 25. I can promise you that.
Jai From Eugene [via mobile]
Hey Kevin do you think with the fact that oregons recruiting class is so small this year they might pull an Texas A&M and only take 15-18 kids and then just have a huge class next year?
Kevin Gemmell (2:05 PM)
There's also a question of space (and to be honest, I don't know what their exact number is off the top of my head). I will say this, I got off the phone with Mark Helfrich 40 minutes ago. We had a pleasant conversation and recruiting was one of the topics. You can read the Q&A with him on Friday and he seemed very positive about the state of recruiting. Then again, if the ship was sinking, I'd imagine he wouldn't tell me.
Trojan1981 (Next to Burrito Stadium)
With the Beavs returning 4 OL starters, do you think they'll be able to play well enough to help Storm Woods have a break out season as well as pass protect a smidgen better?
Kevin Gemmell (2:06 PM)
I thought the offensive line was coming along really well -- then Cody Vaz got sacked 10 times. But yes, line continuity is one of the most important keys to success. I think Woods was very close to having a breakout this year so I'd expect him to continue to trend up as the line matures together.
Jason (Seattle)
Any update on Brandon Magee and his draft stock? Heard he got a combine invite.
Kevin Gemmell (2:07 PM)
Official combine invite list doesn't come out until Feb., but that's good to hear. I've read everything from late second day, early third day. Need to see how his workouts go before speculating. Great guy, though. Wish him the best.
Chase (Arizona)
Can Ka'deem still win the Heisman or is the assault (and possible drug use) case too much of a red flag against him.
Kevin Gemmell (2:08 PM)
If he gets himself together and puts up similar numbers, it could swing the character debate back in his favor. Nothing better than a good redemption story. Here's hoping that all comes together for him.
EM (Scottsdale)
How much do you put into recruit star ratings?
Kevin Gemmell (2:10 PM)
Not a ton. It's an OK gauge, but if I'm a coach, I trust my eyes, experience and ability of my staff to evaluate. Quick story -- a coach once told me about a player he was recruiting, a 2-star. Then top-five team came in and offered him a scholarship. The next day he had four stars. The coach said to me ... verbatim ... "How the hell did he get better overnight?"
Mike McIntyre (Boulder, CO)
Will I be 4-8 next year or worse?
Kevin Gemmell (2:10 PM)
I think four wins would be a nice start. Three would be just OK. Two or one would be seen as stalling.
David (Tempe)
I hope Ka'deem pulls it together as a human, but has a terrible season on the field. GO DEVILS!
Kevin Gemmell (2:11 PM)
Spoken like a true fan. Respectful to the bigger picture with a dusting of team allegiance.
Mike (San Francisco)
What do you make of the post-Tedford recruits Sonny Dykes is pulling in?
Kevin Gemmell (2:12 PM)
Don't know much until we get them in pads and see what they can do, but so far, they look good on paper. That OT is huge ... 6-8, 350. And they got Goff signed up already so he'll be at spring practice. Wait and see with cautious optimism.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
How damaging will the loss of Pep Hamilton be to the Stanford offense?
Kevin Gemmell (2:14 PM)
That's a very interesting question. You wonder how much of it two years ago was Andrew Luck -- especially in the red zone where they were so good in 2011 and had a huge drop off in 2012. Luck did, after all, call a lot of his own stuff. If they promote Mike Bloomgren, I don't think there will be too much of a hit because he's the one who really got that run game going. They just need to find some offensive playmakers to help out Kevin Hogan because he's going to be asked to do a lot more. In terms of play-calling, I'd imagine it will still be Shaw with input from Mike Sanford and Bloomgren.
Kevin (Reno, NV)
Any buzz on the Farm about Barry Sanders Jr? Do you anticipate him making an impact for Stanford in the running game next year with Taylor gone?
Kevin Gemmell (2:14 PM)
He's one of several. Will be interesting to see how that competition shapes up with Sanders, Anthony Wilkerson, Rickey Seale, Kelsey Young etc.
Todd Graham (Tempe, AZ)
Who will I loose to next year besides Stanford and Notre Dame?
Kevin Gemmell (2:15 PM)
Not sure you're even going to lose those games. I like the JC WR you brought in, the JC DT -- some solid players who can help immediately. ASU is going to be tough.
Puddles (Optimistc Eugene) [via mobile]
Kev happy belated MLK Day. I caught the Helf highlights from his press conference. Do you think the fact that he has probably had a more hands on approach with this offense than CK did over the last for years is being overlooked? Yes CK called plays and is a mastermind but a large part of Duck football is player development and helf has developed outstanding offensive players and high profile "spread" QBs. Thoughts?
Kevin Gemmell (2:17 PM)
That was one of the things I talked to him about earlier today. He knows the system in and out and while Chip did the play-calling, Helfrich certainly gave his two cents. For him, it's the collaboration and process of the play-calling that is most important -- not necessarily who makes the calls at the time. It will be interesting to see how that all develops in the coming months and who gets certain responsibilities.
Trojan1981 (KG's Bourdois)
Have you watched film of Jesse Scroggins? Is he able to run RichRod's read option offense?
Kevin Gemmell (2:18 PM)
Haven't watched film, but I saw him in spring practices. I would imagine both parties think it's a good fit or else he wouldn't have transferred to Arizona.
Johnny (San Francisco)
Are there any projected recruits in danger of decommitting due to the departure of Chip Kelly and the hiring of Helfrich? What are the chances we maintain the current class and add some additional undecided prospects?
Kevin Gemmell (2:19 PM)
There have been a couple of guys "open up" their recruiting to take other visits. That's not totally unusual this time of year though -- especially as 17 and 18-year-olds start to ponder their future. I think the chances are strong you retain the class. Remember, Oregon has developed into a program that recruits itself. They don't need to cast a wide net, so I wouldn't be too worried.
Tim (San Francisco)
Whoops, submitted a question earlier citing Derek mason as oc of Indy. Clearly I meant pep, mixed up my coordinators.
Kevin Gemmell (2:19 PM)
Was just about to get to that question. And I know what you meant.
Tim (San Francisco)
Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll are enjoying success in the NFL. If Chip Kelly and Derek Mason (as OC in Indy) follow, it makes me wonder: are Pac-12 coaches the most pro-ready out of all of the conferences (see: Saban, Spurrier)? And if so, why is that?
Kevin Gemmell (2:20 PM)
Interesting question. I guess there is something to be said for that since the pro-style, and many strands of it, are so prevalent in the Pac-12. They see outstanding quarterbacks and skill players each week, so there might be something to that.
Roger (The Woodlands, TX)
Dear Ted Miller Associate Director of Awesome, did Phil Knight endow that position?
Kevin Gemmell (2:21 PM)
He's one of several. The Pac-12 blog is a wise and lucrative investment.
tom (San Diego)
"State legislator Mitch Greenlick will request a hearing into Oregon's football hiring process ". (from the Oregonian). Grandstanding local politician or trouble for the Ducks?
Kevin Gemmell (2:22 PM)
Hmmm... missed that. Off the top of my head, sounds like grandstanding. Pep Hamilton reportedly interviewed for the job -- which would satisfy the state's requirement to interview a minority candidate. And they could have had Helfrich in place the same day if they really wanted to.
Paul Richardson (Boulder)
So the knee is feeling good, but I am going into my third coach at CU with the third system. What can I expect out of the Pistol formation?
Kevin Gemmell (2:23 PM)
Glad to see the knee is doing well. You were sorely (no pun intended) missed this year. Like all transitions to new systems, expect growing pains -- and finding the right QB to get you the ball in space is still a question.
Trojan1981 (Sitting on a Kurb)
Who do you think has a better year next year? Keith Price or Sean Mannion? Assuming Mannion shines in the spring.
Kevin Gemmell (2:25 PM)
Interesting... two very different types of players. That's a big assumption because Mike Riley showed a lot of loyalty to Vaz, so I'm not sure how that will play out. Mannion is more of a traditional drop-back passer. Price showed he could be that player in 2011, but he also is more athletic than Mannion (and Vaz for that matter). I do hope Price bounces back though because I think he's a real talent.
Johnny Bench (New Haven)
Why does ASU always recruit JUCO players hard? I know they picked up some solid guys, but it seems every year they are signing 8+ JUCO players!
Kevin Gemmell (2:25 PM)
JC players can be a good stop-gap, especially for newer coaches trying to build a program -- which is what Graham is trying to do. I'd expect that number to go down next year, the year after that and so on until the depth is there they want.
Jon (Fairfield, CA)
Seems like Marqise Lee is making the team his now. This can only be a good thing, right? Possible bounce-back year for USC?
Kevin Gemmell (2:26 PM)
If someone can get him the ball, then yes. I think there is enough talent on USC to contend for the South. But I could also see them stumbling to seven wins again.
David (Olympia)
RE Tom from San DiegoReports are at least 2 minority interviews were conducted. Greenlick was a sponsor of the bill that requires minority candidates be interviewed and he stated he felt Oregon upheld the letter of the law but not the spirit. Also there is no penalty for not complying.
Kevin Gemmell (2:27 PM)
Thanks David.
Ted Miller (Some Dive Bar)
Kev, my dog... you need to slow down with your chat here. Makin' me look bad, answering all these questions.

Am I crazy to dislike the Helfrich/Riley comparison? I realize Riley is a great coach, but he never looks like he has that edge and fiery component to his coaching. I love the Ducks hire, but in that sense, I hope he's different than Riley.
Kevin Gemmell (2:29 PM)
I just had my first extended conversation with Helfrich, and as I said it was very pleasant. I've known Riley for 15 years, so I'm not ready to make the personality comparison. But I certainly think it's a compliment to be compared to Riley. Just me, though.
Gonzucla (Klamath Falls, OR)
Could Datone Jones go in the first round of the draft?
Kevin Gemmell (2:30 PM)
I saw a report yesterday that he's really turning heads. The guy has always had the potential and I think moving to the 3-4 was a huge boost to him. Much better suited as a 3-4 end.
Trojan1981 (KG's Chateau)
How psyched are you for Game of Thrones season 3? And have you read the books?
Kevin Gemmell (2:30 PM)
Very psyched! And yes, I've read all of the books. Expecting "Winds of Winter" to come out around the time my son is graduating college (he's 20 months old now).
Derrin (Plano, TX)
Who starts at QB for Cal next year? Will the highly touted Zac Kline get a shot at running show?
Kevin Gemmell (2:31 PM)
Obviously, there will be a competition, so we have to see how each performs and how they fit into the new system.
David F. Calgary, AB [via mobile]
Who's really the better back, Barner or Franklin?
Kevin Gemmell (2:32 PM)
At the NFL level? Not sure. Depends where they go. I will say that each was perfect for what they wanted to run at their specific schools and programs. Ask yourself this, if you were to put Franklin at Oregon and Barner at UCLA, which one would do better? I'm not sure...
Joseph (El Segundo)
What's up with all of the trojan1981 love Kevin? Are you going to answer every question he asks?
Kevin Gemmell (2:33 PM)
I'm guessing I haven't answered a single question from the real Trojan 1981 yet...
Darryl (Oakland, CA)
Do you think Stanford O Line will be tops in the nation next year?
Kevin Gemmell (2:34 PM)
Not until we know who the center is going to be. It's the most important position on the line -- and especially for what Stanford likes to do -- the center has to be completely in sync with the QB and RBs. Sam Schwartzstein was very good and underrated for what he did. His loss is bigger than I think most people recognize.
Larry Scott Director of Casting (Walnut Creek, CA)
Which actors should play you and Ted in the upcoming made for Pac-12 Network movie: "Pac-12 Football 2013 - Spring Training"?
Kevin Gemmell (2:34 PM)
Hmmmmm... I'm going to go with Danny DeVito for Ted and a Channing Tatum a la Magic Mike for myself.
Connor Halliday (The Coug)
Should I be worried about any of the other quarterbacks on the depth chart? I'm looking at you Austin Apodaca and Tyler Bruggman
Kevin Gemmell (2:35 PM)
After this season, every Washington State quarterback should be looking over their shoulder and worried about their place on the depth chart. Certainly, you have the edge going into spring, but that doesn't mean you'll keep it.
Bo Duke (Hazzard)
I think you should have a "guest chat" with one of the frequent commenters fielding the questions. "We're Chatting... with Chongo!"
Kevin Gemmell (2:36 PM)
EMAIL from: Kevin's boss. TO: Kevin. RE: You're fired.
Bob (Seattle)
What is your opinion on the NCAA new recruiting rules?
Kevin Gemmell (2:37 PM)
Not a huge fan of the constant phone calls. I think that's going to get annoying and could come off as desperate. Would have liked to see the NCAA solicit ideas from recruits (not just women's lacrosse and baseball) when making this decision.
Trojan1981 (KG's Chambre a Coucher)
Better TV carr: General Lee or Kitt?
Kevin Gemmell (2:37 PM)
Wow... never in a million years have I pondered that. Off the top of my head... Kitt.
Craig G. (Fairfield, CA)
Hey Kevin, how long do you think it will take Mike McIntyre to turn Colorado around?
Kevin Gemmell (2:38 PM)
Hopefully he gets more than two years. And it depends what your definition of "turn around" is. Are we talking bowl game? I'd say three years is a good grace period to get to six games.
Jon (Fairfield, CA)
How long until Mora leaves UCLA to go back to the NFL?
Kevin Gemmell (2:39 PM)
Not sure. I talked with him a lot about that this year and he seems really sincere when he says he loves being a college coach. He's spent so much time in the NFL that this is a new and exciting gig for him. He seems really energized being around the college athletes. He and I shared a good 10 minutes after the win over USC outside the Rose Bowl around 10 p.m. in the rain and you should have seen the look on his face. I don't think you can fake that.
Kevin (Seattle)
Hey Kevin: I'll be in San Diego end of month. Where do I eat?
Kevin Gemmell (2:40 PM)
Cafe Coyote or Old Town Mex. Can't go wrong with either.
bobby (Livermore, CA)
Thanks for not answering my questions im outta here
Kevin Gemmell (2:40 PM)
No worries. See ya.
tom (San Diego)
Hey Kevin. One of the issues that I have with college football is that rankings/bowl game seeds are entirely based upon speculation of coaches and reporters. This is a completely subjective process that trickles down from pre-season rankings (before anyone knows anything about the quality of a team) all the way to bowl selections. A four team playoff is a step in the right direction, but I am skeptical that it will entirely fix a broken system. For example it is entirely possible to have more than 4 1-loss teams at the top of the rankings. Id like to see FCS cupcake games not count toward a team's win total, a more inclusive playoff, and a standardized conference format (8 vs 9 games). My question is: what are the chances of any of these happening? Are there any other ideas being discussed?
Kevin Gemmell (2:41 PM)
Tom, you and I share the same concerns. The No. 1 factor that goes into selecting the four teams has to, has to, HAS to be strength of schedule. This way, teams that play nine-game schedules aren't punished and it forces teams to not play the so-called cupcakes.
Unclesnake (Smog lake city)
Do you see any unique storylines coming out of the PAC-12 or even the whole league this year? Things to watch for?
Kevin Gemmell (2:42 PM)
I think the rise of the young quarterbacks is going to be really fun to watch over the next couple of years: Mariota, Hundley, Hogan, Kelly etc.
Trojan1982 (Jim Harbaugh's office)
I'm the real one! I swear! Kevin, what do you think about the Manti Te'o story at this point? Will it affect anything in the 2013 season?
Kevin Gemmell (2:43 PM)
Don't see how it affects anything in 2013. It's the single-most bizarre story I've ever read in my 17 years in this business (and that includes the first year when I was a news writer covering the cops and following up on police blotter reports).
Unclesnake (Smog lake city)
Should we call George r r Martin? Maybe remind him he hasn't finished his ice and fire series... It would be a nice read during the offseason
Kevin Gemmell (2:43 PM)
No kidding. I'm looking forward to the next Alex Berenson book. Not sure if you guys like the spy genre, but he's outstanding. Clancy good. My favorite current author.
Andrew (CA)
With the success of a number of running QBs this year, do you think Mariota will jump to the pros next year (fingers crossed yes!)? Seems like a carbon copy of Kaepernick
Kevin Gemmell (2:44 PM)
I'm still not sold on the running quarterbacks as the next great wave of NFL QBs. The 49ers may win with Kaepernick -- which would be great since I grew up a 49ers fan. But I think the coaches will adjust quickly and pocket passers will still be the premium players in the league. Just my guess.
Trevor (Portland)
Biggest recruit coming into the pac-12?
Kevin Gemmell (2:45 PM)
Cravens or Tyner. That's just off the top of my head. Burns at Stanford is the No. 4 PP-QB so that's pretty good too.
Matt (AZ)
Which movie are looking forward to more? Iron Man 3, The Wolverine, Thor 2 or Man of Steel?
Kevin Gemmell (2:45 PM)
Meh... nothing that really excites me. I might Netflix them in the fall when I'm traveling.
Jon (Fairfield, CA)
Was very happy to see that the Pac-12 moved the Championship Game to a Saturday. What were they thinking the past two years having it on a Friday? (One less day to prepare!)
Kevin Gemmell (2:47 PM)
The thinking was that they would get out ahead of the other conferences and be the first major championship game of the weekend. The hope was that it would draw more eyeballs to the TVs. But the logistics never really came together that well.
trojan1981 (55's office couch)
Number of years before we see Kevin Gemmel as a lead anchor on the Pac 12 Network?
Kevin Gemmell (2:47 PM)
For all of us here at the Pac-12 Network, I'm Kevin Gemmell?
Matt (AZ)
Which 4 schools would you add to make up the PAC-16? (Sorry, no Texas or Oklahoma schools)
Kevin Gemmell (2:48 PM)
Question doesn't work without factoring those schools because they are going to get looks if there is a another massive grab on expansion.
trojan1981 (55's office couch)
Is a strong Mountain West Conference better or worse for the Pac 12?
Kevin Gemmell (2:49 PM)
Don't think it has too much of an impact either way. I like how the divisions are set up for the MWC. But the Pac-12 will still get its pick of the recruits since both leagues recruit California, the Northwest, Arizona etc. pretty hard.
Trojan1981 (KG's Bureau)
Stanford seems to have been reloading very well the past few years, especially in recruiting. Do you see them as one of the inaugural playoff teams in 2014?
Kevin Gemmell (2:50 PM)
Very possible. If they get some offensive depth (and they can fill the holes left on defense after 2013, because there will be a lot), then they could certainly be in the mix.
Gonzucla (Klamath Falls, OR)
With Johnny Johnson, Foreman, and possibly Goodman and Willis coming to UCLA, could the Bruins have an all-freshman secondary next year?
Kevin Gemmell (2:51 PM)
They aren't scared to play freshmen -- that's for sure. Johnson looks like he's going to be a lock-down guy. Really curious to see how he develops.
55USC (Trojan1981's basement couch)
Would Santa Clara bringing back football be better or worse for the Pac-12?
Kevin Gemmell (2:52 PM)
Worse. I've still got eligibility so I think I'd have to go back, get a masters, and play football so the Pac-12 blog would suffer.
trojan1981 (PSJ's turkey fryer)
What team do you see losing more recruits as signing day approaches, Oregon or USC?
Kevin Gemmell (2:52 PM)
I think USC is still going to lose a couple of more -- just what I'm hearing.
Trevor (Portland)
Feb 1st is coming. Possible date Oregon meets with the Infractions Committee?
Kevin Gemmell (2:52 PM)
I think there are three or four meetings this spring, could be any of them.
Brian (Gilbert, AZ)
What do you put the odds at of the top Pac-12 Qb's becoming strong Heisman candidates? Marriota? Hundley?
Kevin Gemmell (2:54 PM)
Mariota probably has the better chance next year since so many offensive pieces are already in place. UCLA has some good looking talent at WR, but they are going to have to get the running game going. And Hundley has to do a better job not taking sacks.
Bob (Seattle)
What position battles are worth watching in the Spring?
Kevin Gemmell (2:54 PM)
The QB battles at Arizona, Oregon State and Washington State jump out, along with the RB battle at Stanford.
Brian B (En Route to the South)
Mariota is a beast and the two Freshman look awesome. Did I make the right decision in leaving Eugene?
Kevin Gemmell (2:55 PM)
You made the right decision for yourself. Yes.
Elton (Santa Clara, CA)
Do you think Francis Owasu will be able to strech the field like his brother for the Cardinal and provide Stanford with a consistent deep threat?
Kevin Gemmell (2:56 PM)
That's what you'd hope for from a highly-touted receiver.
Trevor (Portland)
Is there still hope Vanderdoes or Foster end up at UW?
Kevin Gemmell (2:56 PM)
Read today that there is a chance for Vanderdoes -- albeit a slight one. Not sure on Foster.
Chip Kelly ((Chongo's Lap))
Anyone from the Pac-12 I should consider drafting?
Kevin Gemmell (2:57 PM)
Someone suggested Matt Scott in the chat last week -- which sounded wildly ironic and awesome.
Trojan 1981 (the office)
You caused a quite a stir with Reggie Dunn at #25, but you said that was one of the easier picks for you and Ted to agree on. Can you defend why even though his most impressive games were against the bottom 3 teams in the conference?
Kevin Gemmell (2:58 PM)
We weren't intending to create a stir. We just didn't see how we could leave a first-team All-American off of the list. He did something that no one in the history of college football has ever done before. Any way you slice it, the guy set three NCAA records, tied a fourth and was an All-American.
Claymax (Tampa)
How come Utah hasn't been able to maintain a strong football team like Boise State has, even though the Utes now have greater revenue from the Pac-12 and should get better recruits thanks to the improved postseason access?
Kevin Gemmell (3:00 PM)
Until this year they had a pretty good bowl streak going, so I wouldn't count one 5-7 year as an inability to maintain a strong program. I think that's a little extreme. If they have failed to make a bowl game for four straight years, then yes, I'd call that an inability. But I wouldn't jump ship just yet. Let the recruits develop, the facilities are in the process of being upgraded.
Sparta1981 (Bellevue)
Will Sonny Dykes finally take advantage of Bigelow's enormous talent?
Kevin Gemmell (3:01 PM)
I would imagine so... he seems like a pretty smart coach and in my experience, smart coaches like to use talented players. Just sort of goes with the job...
Mrs. Gemmell (San DIEEEGGGOOOOO)
Lets say goodbye to the members of your blog together. :)
Kevin Gemmell (3:02 PM)
You heard the Mrs. Time to call it for today. You've got Ted tomorrow. Thanks as always. Cheers.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Consumers are increasingly being exposed to what chemistry Nobel laureate Irving Langmuir dubbed "pathological science," the "science of things that aren't so." It is the specialty of self-styled public interest groups, whose agenda too often is not protection of public health or the environment, but intractable opposition to whatever research, product, or technology they happen to dislike. This is not a harmless diversion: When their machinations give rise to overregulation—or even bans—of safe and useful products or processes, all of society is the poorer for it.
Activists who disapprove of certain kinds of R&D or marketed products often try to stigmatize them via guilt by association with corporate interests. For several reasons, however, including the importance of corporate branding, avoidance of liability, and a desire to succeed in the marketplace, industrial research most often adheres to high professional and legal standards, including peer review. When it doesn't, the scientific method, market forces, and regulatory oversight collaborate to ensure that, ultimately, dishonesty is exposed, condemned, and punished.
By contrast, activist-funded research is commonly held to a lower standard, or none at all. Activists' claims are typically promoted by alarmist press releases and reported by the media (their dual mottos: "If it bleeds, it leads," and "Never let facts get in the way of a good story"), but seldom are they independently peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals. Sadly, after its claims are repeated again and again, policy-makers, the media, and the public come to accept this pathological science as credible—or even proven.
Misinformation thrives in part because of the "information cascade" phenomenon, the way in which ideas gain acceptance by being parroted until eventually we assume they must be true even in the absence of persuasive evidence.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Alberto Fujimori ascended to the presidency of Peru in 1990, boldly promising to remake the country. Ten years later, he hastily sent his resignation from exile in Japan, leaving behind a trail of lies, deceit, and corruption. While piecing together the shards of Fujimori's presidency, prosecutors uncovered a vast criminal conspiracy fueled by political ambition and personal greed.
The Fujimori regime managed to maintain a facade of democracy while systematically eviscerating democratic institutions and the rule of law through legal subterfuge, intimidation, and outright bribery. The architect of this strategy was Fujimori's notorious intelligence advisor, Vladimiro Montesinos. With great skill, Fujimori and Montesinos created the appearance of a democratic public sphere but ensured it would work only to suit their personal motives. The press was allowed to operate, but information exchange was under strict control. The more government officials tampered with the free flow of ideas, the more they inadvertently exposed the ills they were trying to cover up. And that proved to be their downfall.
Merging penetrating analysis and a journalist's flair for narrative, Catherine Conaghan reveals the thin line between democracy and dictatorship, and shows how public institutions can both empower dictators and bring them down.

Man denies fourth drunken driving offenseOctober 29,2013Man denies
fourth DUI
An Orwell man charged with a fourth offense of drunken driving denied the felony charge in court Monday.
Peter Pfenning, 50, pleaded innocent to a charge of DUI 4 which carries a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a minimum sentence of at least 192 consecutive hours of jail time.
Pfenning, who appeared in court on a citation, remains free on court-ordered conditions that include he not consume or possess alcohol and that he report daily to the Rutland County Sheriffs Department for alcohol testing.
Pfenning was arrested earlier this month after Vermont State Police said he was seen driving in the wrong lane on Route 7 in Clarendon. Police said Pfennings blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.188 percent. The legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Vermont is 0.08 percent.MORE IN This Just InMore than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the state in...

GLOBAL: Quintessential Brands trumpets acquisition plans
By James Wilmore | 9 July 2013
Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is among the new brands Quintessential is hoping will deliver success
Quintessential Brands wants to "explode the myth" that the spirits industry is dominated by a few multi-national groups and is targeting becoming a global "mid-tier" player itself within five years.
In an exclusive interview with just-drinks, the company's international brands & marketing director, Mike Salmon, has revealed the full extent of the recently-launched group's plans. Salmon, the former CEO of Cutty Sark International, said the company, which already owns G&J Greenall, is in talks with a host of other firms to acquire more brands.
"We've set our sights at a mid-tier position, globally, as a spirits group," Salmon told just-drinks last week. "But, we don't feel our ambitions will be limited by our ability to find funds. Bringing home the deal is the challenge, not funding it."
He added: "We're looking for businesses with a combination of brand, manufacturing and distribution assets."
Salmon said he was confident about the London-headquartered group's deal-making abilities thanks to the previous experience of its founders, former Gruppo Campari CEO Enzo Visone and investment banker Warren Scott.
Last week, the group week launched Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin, revealed plans to relaunch coffee liqueur Toussaint and announced a distribution deal with Marblehead in the UK.
"The world may appear to be dominated by a few multi-national groups, but we plan to explode that myth and demonstrate in every market there are still a number of powerful local players," said Salmon.

International Feel Lyrics
Artist: Todd Rundgren
Album: A Wizard, A True Star
Here we are again, the start of the end,
but there's More
I only want to see if you'll give up on me
But there's always More
There is More, International Feel
And there's More, Interplanetary Deals
But there's More, Interstellar Appeal
Still there's More, Universal Ideal
Still there's More, International Feel
I swear something lies
in your ears and your eyes
'Cause there's More
You hear and you see yet you do not believe
That there's always More

also were found to be not invalid. The jury further awarded damages to VHC for the infringement of those patents. Apple appealed the verdict to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). The CAFC affirmed that the patents litigated were not invalid and also affirmed that Apple infringed two of those patents with their VPNoD feature. The CAFC remanded the damage award to the district court because they disapproved of the damage award argument presented at the original trial. In the CAFC ruling, the CAFC presented a method to calculate the damage award that it considered valid. The CAFC ruling is available here. Apple did not appeal the CAFC ruling to the Supreme Court so the validity of the VHC patents and the infringement of the VHC patents by Apple apparently cannot be further challenged. While other matters are being litigated in the upcoming trial, what cannot be changed is Apple does infringe and the four patents litigated in the previous trial cannot be challenged as invalid. Apple will apparently have to pay damages - this is a given.
VirnetX can put forth those licenses as a basis for Apple's royalty rate and it's up to Apple to argue why their rate should be less. VirnetX's published royalty rate also is between l% and 2%. The initial jury awarded VirnetX 1/2% ($368m), far below the rate of the other licenses. These licenses also are based on the price of the whole product.
for servers to act as relay servers for FaceTime. This approach is not covered by VHC's patents. Over the six weeks that this approach was tried, Apple received over 500,000 customer complaints and had to resort to their previous, infringing implementation. Because of the uproar from enterprise customers Apple decided not to implement the same fix for VPNoD. In a hearing to determine the ongoing royalty rate to be paid by Apple to VHC, VHC was awarded an almost 1% royalty. Because of the CAFC remand of the damages, this royalty never started. In the coming trial, the discovery of Apple's work around, its cost and its failure to provide an acceptable solution should convince the jury of the value of VHC's patents. As this trial covers damages for a longer period of time and a wider range of products, the jury could award in excess of $1b. If the jury awarded only 1% rather than the average 1.52% that the comparable license VHC's stock price would skyrocket. Additionally, this time the jury will be deciding whether iMessage and FaceTime also are infringing VHC's patents. This could cause the jury to find for an even higher award.
patience marvin is trying to think of one
MLM attorneys like Kevin Thompson and Jeff Babener clearly realize the significance of the Vemma action. Thompson produced two excellent video segments summing up their take on the situation.
And MLM industry "trainer" Eric Worre, who positions MLM as a profession (arguably so is being a burglar, a drug dealer or a mafia hitman), clearly sees the problems for the industry caused by the vemma case in his video.
so law enforcement should have an easy time with this case. It remains a shameful fact that this many years after the Madoff scandal, this poor people's version of the Ponzi-scheme, which is what MLM is (effectively a Ponzi scheme on a layaway plan), remains rampant.
In 2015, a growing number of analysts and media people have begun to understand the most dangerous and pernicious aspect of MLMs, worse than the financial losses they inflict on the public and more important than identifying MLMs as "pyramid schemes." It is the capacity of MLMs to operate cults that gain virtually total control over thousands of participants, making them the equivalent of economic slaves.
Pyramid Scheme Alert is regularly contacted by consumers alarmed and confused by the strange behavior of friends or family members that have joined MLMs. They note sudden changes in their dress, speech and attitude, obsessive recruiting, readiness to quit jobs and take on debt to pursue the MLM "opportunity" while also claiming no need for due diligence, associating only with other MLMers and abandoning or neglecting friends and family, unquestioning belief that "success" and great wealth will come soon through the MLM, a total obedience and near worship of the MLM leaders, and an adamant rejection of facts, argument or logic that question or challenge their MLM affiliation. They appear "brain washed."
In fact, they are brainwashed. The MLM has gained cult control over these people.
it is their endless down lines that make them a pyramid
insults, LOL
for Herbalife in a research report issued to clients and investors on Thursday.
no answer needed for your lies smoothie
you ever seen any HLF worthless products in Wal-mart or Costco or any store?
right not the same as being found not guilty either
why are you asking a bunch of lies smoothie?
every court case HLF had where they were being sued for being a pyramid scheme HLF settled, the recent share holder lawsuit dismissal was about long share holders losing money in HLF and the judge ruled they should have known better than invest in a company that had so pyramid publicity, the judge did not rule that HLF was a pyramid scheme or not a pyramid scheme FACT
on inventory and rely on members putting pressure on their own family and friends to buy the no good products that would just set on shelves if they were in stores
even though vast majority of participants lose money. FTC can't let them keep doing that.
bottom 93% of Vemma pyramid made almost three times more per person what the bottom 94% make in the pyramid = HLF is a even worse pyramid scam than Vemma ever was
has taken the initiative to launch a Defense Fund as the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) attack on Vemma is considered by many as an attack on the MLM industry.
He better start one for HLF also. He believes if Vemma goes down so will many MLM like HLF and others.
Avon, Amway and Herbalife, Yanbal
Colombia, according to the Superintendency of companies, is the leader in terms of the regulation of companies dedicated to the direct sale of products and services. Basically, what the Government wants is shut them off these fraudulent organizations that collect money and pretend to be MLM companies.
The most recent advance has to do with the issuance of the Decree 27, issued by the Ministry of industry, Commerce and tourism, which put new limits on firms engaged in direct sales activities.

Gary Patterson doesn't need a refresher course on mid-major survival skills. He practically wrote the guidebook.
Patterson, the fifth-year Texas Christian coach, knows exactly where he stands with an 8-1 squad. It's a place where the ground is eternally shaky, where the warm glow of fame spontaneously vanishes and where leases rarely run for more than a year.
It's also a place where Patterson and TCU hope to stay a while.
"Gary and his staff have built a winning program," athletic director Danny Morrison said. "To me, there's a big difference between a winning program and a winning team."
For the third time in four years, TCU is one of the nation's top mid-majors. After a bipolar start that featured a historic win at Oklahoma and a historic loss at Southern Methodist, the 20th-ranked Horned Frogs have won seven straight and clinched at least a share of the Mountain West Conference title in their inaugural season in the league.
While mid-major flag bearers such as Utah and Marshall have fallen off this season, TCU can secure its third 10-win season since 2002, a credential few of its perpetually underappreciated colleagues share.
"You just keep everything in perspective," Patterson said. "If you don't, you become forgotten. Don't let the outside distractions bother your team because they're always going to be there. If you win, they'll stay there and if you don't win, then they'll go away.
"But you like keeping them around."
They are back this week, as TCU prepares to host second-place Colorado State, which can win the league title by sweeping its final three games. Though the Frogs are soaking in media attention and stirring the annual debate over college football's imperfect postseason system, Patterson is already rehearsing his "You Become Forgotten" speech for Friday night.
For a defensive-minded coach like Patterson, why not stick with what works?
"Through the years we've played a lot better with our backs against the wall," said Patterson, who last June signed a contract extension through the 2008 season. "Every time we've been an underdog, we've won. Every time we haven't, we've lost. I guess that's probably my personality, to motivate from the bottom up."
His mission was easy after the 2004 season, when TCU lost three of its final four games to post its first losing record (5-6) since 1997.
"Our kids knew we had a lot more talent than what we showed a year ago," Patterson said. "We just didn't have enough chemistry, maturity and consistency to be able to do it overall."
Even those essential qualities appeared insufficient for TCU to get through a six-game opening stretch that Patterson called the toughest he's seen at the school. The Frogs had just one September home game, against league favorite Utah no less.
TCU's upset at Oklahoma marked its first win over a top-five team since 1961, when it knocked off No. 1 Texas. But a week later it traveled to Dallas and lost to SMU, whose players said the Frogs didn't respect them nor acknowledge a rivalry that had become one-sided.
But TCU's letdown didn't last into the league opener, when it ended Utah's 18-game win streak with a 23-20 overtime win.
"That was a springboard," Morrison said.
Added Patterson: "If you ask me which of the first three I'd lose if I had to lose, it'd be [SMU]. One [Utah] had conference implications and the other one [Oklahoma] had national implications."
TCU reached a junction the next week when senior quarterback Tye Gunn injured his throwing shoulder in the third quarter at BYU. In stepped Jeff Ballard, a junior with one career pass attempt. Patterson considered Ballard the third stringer before fall camp.
But there were no missteps, as TCU and Ballard prevailed 51-50 in overtime. Since then, the Frogs have five more wins behind Ballard, who likely will remain the starter even though Gunn could return to practice this week.
Ballard is just the latest TCU backup quarterback to come through. In 2002, Gunn, a redshirt freshman, replaced Sean Stilley and led the team to three wins before injuring his knee. The next year, Brandon Hassell replaced an injured Gunn and the team went 11-2.
"In our system we don't ask the quarterbacks to win ball games for us," Patterson said. "We just want them to manage the game. Fortunately with Jeff, he'd been in this program for four years. He knew the system. He was ready."
When TCU entered the Mountain West, Patterson looked to teams like Utah and Colorado State as models for his program. Now the admiration is being reciprocated.
"Everyone has respect for the football program at TCU," Colorado State coach Sonny Lubick said. "[Patterson has] carried it on and taken it to another level. I hope that we can match him. He passed us up."
The Frogs are the highest-rated mid-major in the BCS standings (No. 18), but a Utah rerun seems unlikely this season. Still, TCU's BCS prospects improve next year, when the series expands to include another game.
"We feel like we're deserving of an automatic BCS berth," Morrison said, "and over the next few years we've got a great opportunity to be in a position to capture one of those."
In the meantime, Patterson will continue to lead TCU down a path he knows well.
"We had a BCS run in 2003," he said. "If anything, it taught me to keep your nose down. Every week, if you don't take care of your business, it's over."

Savvy investors understand that the miracle of compounding accelerates total return, the longer the time frame, the better. I don't think there's a better gift for a graduating grandchild or other loved one than a gift of a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks including enrollment in the company's dividend reinvestment plan. Assuming that the graduate can fund the portfolio, even with small amounts to start, the portfolio will compound to produce real wealth over the long term. How much wealth? Millions of dollars, as I'll demonstrate.
Instead of giving a gift of money that the young person is likely to spend frivolously, a gift of a five-stock portfolio held in dividend reinvestment plans, is likely to stay in place and grow over the years. Your total cost to set up such a portfolio, depending on the price of the stock that you select, is somewhere around $500. What's more, there's a two-fold advantage to this gift. Not only will it provide a long-term financial benefit to the graduate, it will give him or her a first-hand experience with a logical approach to investing.
By "saving" in the stock of the companies in a portfolio of DRIPs, your young investor has the opportunity to build wealth by participating in the growth of the economy in the most efficient manner possible, and, if you can afford to take this gift one step further, by making additional gifts to fund the portfolio over the four years that the graduate is attending college, the results will be astounding. By the time you are ready to present your college. . .

The grace and elegance of a violin is undeniable. It's an instrument that not only requires patience, discipline and skill, but it can also cover a wide range of musical styles. In fact, this can especially be said for the electric violin. By combining the classic sound of a violin with electronic components, players have the opportunity to explore many other areas of their abilities and talents.
Today, popular instrument manufacturers from all over the world provide electric violin models that are crafted with careful consideration to sound quality and playability. These violins also come in many different styles, from classic looks to even futuristic-like designs. From Silver Creek and Yamaha to Bellafina and NS Design, these brands are all dedicated to making exceptional instruments for both beginners and experienced players alike.
For an ultra-modern design that has a traditional violin feel, the Bellafina SSE Electric Violin Outfit provides full functionality for studio, practice, and stage use. With a 1/4'' output to plug into most guitar amps or PA systems, this electric violin will surely bring you to the next level in your performance. Another great option is the Silver Creek SC3EL Acoustic-Electric violin. The SC3EL contains a carved spruce top with flamed maple back and sides. The D'Aaddario Prelude strings give players quick tone production, and the installed Barcus Berry pickup with volume control gives you an authentic violin sound when plugged into an amp. Overall, the Silver Creek SC3EL Acoustic-Electric violin is well-built and highly recommended.
Performers today all agree that the electric violin is a seriously versatile instrument. You can only become a better musician by trying other musical genres after all; and with the electric violin, players can do just that. The electric violin can be found gracing both classical and rock concert stages, and any violinist would surely benefit from including one in their collection of musical gear.

This paper is concerned with the optical domain generation of high-quality millimeter-wave signals for fiber-radio and other applications. The mode-locked millimeter-wave optical transmitter described is based on simple electrooptic microchip laser technology. The transmitter can be designed to operate from a few gigahertz to 100 GHz and beyond. The residual phase noise of the laser is below -100 dBc/Hz at 1-kHz offset, which makes it well suited for optically fed millimeter-wave wireless applications. A key feature of the transmitter is its simplicity, the very small number of elements it employs and the high level of integration of the millimeter-wave and photonic components that results in a small, rugged, and reliable package. The paper describes the design, fabrication, and experimental evaluation of the transmitter
