College Football Recap - 9/6/11
Tuesday, September 6, 2011
COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECAP - 9/6/11 Here's a brief look at the highlights of the opening week of the 2011 college football season, a week which featured a pair of surprising upsets as well as a pair of interconference games that could very well impact the national title picture. The rankings used in this recap are the preseason AP Rankings from prior to the games.
NATIONAL TITLE PICTURE #4 LSU 40, #3 Oregon 27: Despite a host of offseason attractions, LSU's intimidating defense and backup quarterback Jarrett Lee took advantage of four Duck turnovers to hand Oregon its second straight loss on a national stage to an SEC squad. The victory keeps LSU squarely in the hunt for the national title - though the brutal SEC schedule remains.
#5 Boise State 35, #19 Georgia 21: Boise and ultra-efficient quarterback Kellen Moore continued their season-opening dominance, posting their third straight win over a ranked opponent to kickoff the season; this time handing Mark Richt a painful loss which makes this Saturday's game against South Carolina a potential must-win. UPSET SPECIAL Baylor 50, #14 TCU 48: It would be hard not to call this the game of the week, if not one of the most exciting in recent years. Robert Griffin, III, had an amazing performance at quarterback for the Bears who took down their state-rival with an offensive blitz.
USF 23, #16 Notre Dame 20: Multiple penalties, including red zone miscues, put the return of the Irish to national prominence on hold, but South Florida and head coach Skip Holtz took full advantage to clinch a huge win for the Big East which craves respectability.
#25 USC 19, Minnesota 17: USC seemed in control behind the Matt Barkley-Robert Woods connection (17 hook-ups for 177 yards and three touchdowns), but USC fans still had to sweat it out down the stretch as the Trojans were held scoreless in the second half. NO HOLDING BACK #7 Stanford 57, San Jose State 3: The Cardinal doesn't seem to struggle in its debut under new head coach David Shawn - much of that may be because of star quarterback Andrew Luck, who throws for two touchdowns and runs for another in a blowout win over one of their Bay Area rivals.
#9 Oklahoma State 61, UL-Lafayette 34: Quarterback Brandon Weeden threw for 388 yards to lead the Cowboys to a 666-yard performance in an impressive season-opener against the Ragin' Cajuns.
#11 Wisconsin 51, UNLV 17: Behind the efforts of transfer quarterback Russell Wilson, Wisconsin affirmed itself as one of the top contenders in the Big Ten by over-running UNLV in a Thursday night game.
#12 South Carolina 56, East Carolina 37: The Gamecocks were down big early, but when senior quarterback Stephen Garcia came off the bench in the second quarter, things cleared up and South Carolina rolled to the victory.
#20 Mississippi State 59, Memphis 14: Playing a season-opening road game, rare for an SEC squad (and one of just two for ranked teams), the Bulldogs showed no mercy in crushing Memphis behind a three-touchdown effort from running back Vick Ballard. DEFENSE DOESN'T REST #2 Alabama 48, Kent State 7: Kent State managed just six first downs and 90 yards of total offense while Trent Richardson registered three rushing touchdowns to show that Alabama is clearly ready to compete for another national title.
#6 Florida State 34, UL-Monroe 0: The Seminole defense lets the Warhawks advance to the 28-yard line once, and that's it as they post a solid shutout. Offensively, FSU's EJ Manuel threw for 256 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
#21 Missouri 17, Miami (Ohio) 6: In order to give new starting quarterback James Franklin a chance to acclimate himself, the Tiger defense held the RedHawks to just one score with the big play being E.J. Gaines' end zone interception late in the first half.
#8 Texas A&M 46, SMU 14: Off-the-field talk has dominated the Texas A&M campus (and the entire Big 12), but the Aggies gave fans some on-field conversation-fodder by using a balanced attack (246 passing yards, 2 TDs; 212 rushing yards, 4 TDs) to crush SMU's BCS-busting hopes.
#18 Ohio State 42, Akron 0: Despite missing eight suspended players, interim head coach Luke Fickell imparted his linebacker philosophy on the Buckeyes, who held the Zips scoreless while Joe Bauserman threw for three scores - all to tight end Jake Stoneburner.
#22 Florida 41, Florida Atlantic 3: Will Muschamp debuted as a head coach by directing the Gators to an impressive opening-win; the defense held the Owls to just 137 yards and Chris Rainey scored on a run, a reception and a blocked punt.
#24 West Virginia 34, Marshall 13: In a weekend of brutal weather around the country, this West Virginia showdown suffered the biggest impact as it was called with 14:36 remaining, but not before quarterback Geno Smith was very impressive, completing 26-of-35 passes for 249 yards and two scores. TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS #10 Nebraska 40, Chattanooga 7: Quarterback Taylor Martinez ran for 135 yards and three touchdowns as the Cornhuskers pick up their first win as Big Ten members - though the conference schedule is expected to provide a bit more competition than the FCS Mocs.
#13 Virginia Tech 66, Appalachian State 13: After last year's loss to James Madison, Hokie fans had reason to be wary of a strong FCS opponent. However, with David Wilson running for 162 yards and three touchdowns and the Virginia Tech defense looking strong, the Mountaineers had little chance of an upset.
#15 Arkansas 51, Missouri State 7: A dominating defensive performance and a pair of punt return touchdowns from Joe Adams were complemented by an efficient performance by quarterback Tyler Wilson as Arkansas rolled to victory.
#24 Texas 34, Rice 9: After a slow start, Texas came to life in the second half and pulled away from the over-matched Owls.
MANNING AWARD STARS OF THE WEEK From the players currently on the Watch List for the Manning Award, here are some of the standout stars from week one:
Robert Griffin, III, Baylor (21-of-27, 359 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT) Griffin leads the Bears to their first win over a ranked foe since 2004, registering a career-high five touchdowns to snap TCU's national-best 25-game regular-season winning streak.
Chandler Harnish, Northern Illinois (12-of-19, 195 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT) Harnish sets a career-high by throwing for five touchdowns and then adds a rushing score in a 49-26 win over Army.
Landry Jones, Oklahoma (35-of-47, 375 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT) Jones continues to pile up big numbers, opening the 2011 season with a huge performance in a blowout win over state-rival Tulsa.
Case Keenum, Houston (30-of-40, 310 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT) In his first game after a major knee injury suffered against UCLA last year, Keenum looks in peak form, tallying another 300-yard game in a key victory over UCLA.
Kellen Moore, Boise State (28-of-34, 261 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) One of the most efficient quarterbacks in college football, Moore has a stretch of 28-of-32 passes completed with three TDs as the Broncos proved themselves on the national stage once again with a win over Georgia in Atlanta.
Danny O'Brien, Maryland (31-of-44, 348 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) O'Brien piles up the yards in Maryland's ACC opener. Leading the Terrapins to the go-ahead points with 1:39 remaining in the game.
While 31 quarterbacks are on the Manning Award Watch List, additional players may be added later in the season. Here's a look at the best performances from players making a bid to be added.
Tajh Boyd, Clemson (20-of-30, 264 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) In his debut as the Clemson starter, Boyd directs a pair of key third-quarter drives to get the Tigers rolling against a persistent Troy squad.
Bryn Renner, North Carolina (22-of-23, 277 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT) Making his first career start, Renner set an ACC record for completion percentage in a 42-10 win over James Madison.
Keith Wenning, Ball State (23-of-29, 173 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT) Wenning spoils Indiana's trip to Lucas Oil Stadium by leading the Cardinals to a 27-20 victory by completing 79% of his passes and also rushing for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Russell Wilson, Wisconsin (10-of-13, 255 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT) Making his debut for the Badgers after transferring from N.C. State, Wilson led Wisconsin to a 51-17 win over UNLV.
UPCOMING GAMES (current AP Rankings)
Arizona at #9 Oklahoma State (Thu.): The high-powered Cowboy offense will look to out-shoot Arizona and star quarterback Nick Foles in a Thursday night ESPN game.
#21 Missouri at Arizona State (Fri.): Missouri hopes to be a challenger in the 10-team Big 12, but will need a win over Arizona State, one of the top Pac-12 teams, to challenge for national recognition.
#3 Alabama at #23 Penn State: A critical non-league game for both schools and a rematch of the 1975 and 1979 Sugar Bowls.
#12 South Carolina at Georgia: Steve Spurrier won his first division title at USC last season; he'll need this win to keep on track for a repeat. Meanwhile, media pundits are calling this a must-win for Bulldog coach Mark Richt.
Notre Dame at Michigan: High hopes for the Fighting Irish were dashed a bit by the opening loss to USF, while Michigan and first-year coach Brady Hoke looked solid in a season-opening win. The first-ever night game in Ann Arbor will bring smiles and bragging rights to one of these storied programs.
#16 Mississippi State at Auburn: The defending champion Tigers narrowly avoided a major upset on Saturday, but the tight win knocked them out of the rankings. Mississippi State, meanwhile, looks for a huge Sec West victory on the road.
Oregon State at #8 Wisconsin: The Badgers looked very impressive behind transfer quarterback Russell Wilson. Meanwhile. Oregon State suffered a home loss to FCS foe Sacramento State - the trip across the country may not be pretty for the Beavers.
BYU at #24 Texas: BYU opened its first year of independence with a thrilling win over Ole Miss; now it gets a major challenge with a road game at Texas, which looks to recover from a 5-7 season in 2010.
Utah at USC: Pac-12 newcomer Utah gets its official league initiation against long-time powerhouse USC - the Trojans are favored in the Pac-12 South but are ineligible for postseason play.
Nevada at #13 Oregon: Nevada spoiled Boise State's national title hopes last year; with another non-conference loss, Oregon will be hard-pressed to climb back into the title picture in 2011.

Kabe, You are correct that glaze tension can cause warping. The coefficient of expansion and contraction is a factor in this.
Hi Marcia. A friend of mine said someone in one of his college classes made some tile and when they were fire the tile "cupped" I guess that would be the word. They were like upside down bowls. I thought about this abit last night and maybe that would be more like a situation where if the glaze was on a pot it might of shivered and if thetile warped the oppisite way and the edges all pulled up it would be like crazing. It would be interesting to manipulate a glaze both directions and apply the test glazes to thin tiles and observe the effects. happy firing

By Beth J. Harpaz Associated Press
The round, white, paper light shades sold at Ikea for $5 are a familiar item in contemporary interior design. But these inexpensive lanterns are knockoffs of light sculptures created by the renowned artist Isamu Noguchi in the early 1950s.
The Noguchi lamps — called akari, the Japanese word for light — were inspired by traditional Japanese lanterns used in ancestor worship. Over the decades, the akari became classics of mid-20th century modern home decor.
Noguchi's original designs are still handmade in Japan; they come in a variety of colors and dozens of geometric designs — including the widely imitated white sphere — and range in price from $100 to $1,000. And they pop up in some pretty cool places, from painter Georgia O'Keeffe's home in New Mexico to Tony Stark's bedroom in "Iron Man 3."
The story of how the late Noguchi came to create akari is rooted in the recovery of Japan's post-World War II economy and the cross-cultural currents that influenced his spare, bold, modernist aesthetics.
Noguchi's mother was American; his father Japanese. They never married. Born in 1904, Noguchi spent years in both countries during his youth.
After World War II, he was greatly admired by the art and design community in Japan, and at some point met the mayor of the town of Gifu, where local industry centered around making lanterns for ancestry worship, using paper from mulberry trees.
"The mayor asked Noguchi, 'Can you help us resurrect our lantern business?'" said Jenny Dixon, director of the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, N.Y. "That's how the akari were first produced. They were exported as an economic product and were well-received by the design community."
She said that Noguchi "papered them sculpturally. He didn't call them lanterns or lamps; he called them light sculptures."
Noguchi's concept "stood in sharp contrast to 1950s contemporary, modern, efficient lighting trends," said Peter Barna, provost of Pratt Institute, the art and design college in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Popular lighting options of the day included track lights, adjustable desk lamps and "pole lamps with conical shades," said Barna, a former president of an international lighting design firm.
Eventually, Noguchi developed a relationship with one family of lantern makers. The same family still produces his designs today.
"They're all handmade, each one, individually, from molds. They're not mass-produced," Dixon said. "We're now working with the third generation there, filling our orders. … Our biggest challenge is meeting the demand."
Depending on which lamp is ordered, "you might hit the jackpot and get a lamp right away or you can wait three to six months."
Each lamp has bamboo ribbing and standard wiring, and can accommodate incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs (45 watts for small lamps, 75 watts for large). Designs range from spheres, discs and cylinders to triangles, boxes, trapezoids, and other geometric shapes and combinations.
Most shades are white, but some are decorated in orange, green or black; a few bear abstract designs.
There are hanging lamps, as well as table lamps and floor lamps with metal legs or small black circular bases. Many appear breathtakingly elegant; others have a whimsical, futuristic look.

Python Escapes Canada Pet Store, Kills Two Kids
(Campbellton, New Brunswick) -- Authorities in Canada say a python escaped from a pet store and killed two children today. The CBC reports the snake somehow escaped and got into an apartment above the shop through the vents where it strangled a five-year-old boy and seven-year-old girl. The children were reportedly visiting the apartment above the store. Authorities originally indicated the snake was a boa constrictor.

What is the IndyPlanet Ad Swap Club? It's a way for you to promote your comics while at the same time helping to increase the awareness of some of the other great comics at IndyPlanet.
Here's how it works … we provide you with the base of the ad. You can download it here. As you can see it takes up about 1/3rd of the page. The other 2/3rds or so of the page are yours. To participate in the club you have to build an ad for your comic and agree to run ads from other creators in your comics.
You choose the ad or ads that you'd like to include in your comic. We'll post all of the ads we receive. You can download them and include them in the files you send to us or you can simply tell us in the notes field of your order which ads you'd like to run and where. You agree to run any ads you download unaltered.
This is an Ad Swap club. "Swap" is an operative word. To participate you must both provide an ad AND include ads in your books.
The honor system applies here. We're not going to police it rigorously … although we will certainly notice if your ads are being used by others yet no ads ever appear in your books. We will remove the ads of anyone who is not reciprocating.
There are a couple of ads already up to give you an idea of what can be done. You can use those ads as a guideline or you can do something completely different. You can do pretty much anything you want. Be creative. There are only a few restrictions.
1) The IndyPlanet base — artwork and text — may not be altered in any way. It must be in the foreground and you may not place anything in front of it or obscure it in anyway.
2) You may not put anything in the background of the ad that contradicts or in any way changes the meaning or intent of the IndyPlanet base ad.
3) You may not include anything in the background that infringes on the rights of another person or entity.
4) You may not include any images of a sexually explicit nature.
That's all of the you-may-not's, however there are a few It-would-be-a-good-idea-to's …
1) It would be a good idea to include artwork that is both visually interesting and generally representative of the artwork in your comic. You should also include your logo.
2) It would be a good idea to avoid cluttering up the image with too many words. We've already put plenty of verbage in the IP base. Your space would be best used to tantalize readers with your artwork and design sense.
3) It would be a good idea to avoid hype. It's always a good idea to avoid hype. Quotes from reviewers are fine, a tagline or something like that would be fine. But steer clear of the hardsell and the "this is the book you've been waiting all of your life for" and all that kind of nonsense. Remember you are designing an ad to run in someone else's book.
4) It would be a good idea to design your ad to work equally well in full color as well as in grayscale. Your ad may run on the interior page of a black & white book. If so, it will run in grayscale.
When you've built your ad upload it to your site or a third party site — same as you would files for a Ka-Blam order — and send us the link in the Message Center.
If your ad is approved — and it will be if you've obeyed all the rules — we'll post it here and you're in the club! It's just that simple!
BTW … don't forget … all of the normal page tech specs apply. So your add needs to respect the rules for margins and trim lines.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
This bag is perfect! Great for traveling with your skate, easy access side zipper pocket and super durable. I brought this on a skate trip to Europe and I basically lived out of this bag (I didn't have a lot of things with me). Super convenient pockets, comfortable straps, and great for daily use or for bringing on a trip.
I'm diggin' it!
It's pretty nice fitting! I would highly recommend it, honestly.
Nice bag
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This bag has an awesome unique look and quality feel. Not as many pockets as I would have liked but still just enough to keep your basics organized. The side zipper laptop access is a nice feature. It's great not having to pull out everything else to get to it. The inner laptop sleeve itself is large and even fits my rather bulky laptop. Overall I'm glad to have it.
Whats the difference between the landlock...
Whats the difference between the landlock and the landlock II?
I don't have the Nixon answer, but I own the Landlock I and the difference looks like it's the waist strap, which mine has, but the II does not have. Honestly I never use the waist strap much in the city, but it has come in handy going on outdoor day hikes.

Muscle atrophyMuscle wasting; Wasting; Atrophy of the muscles
Muscle atrophy is the wasting or loss of muscle tissue.
There are two types of muscle atrophy.
- Disuse atrophy occurs from a lack of physical activity. In most people, muscle atrophy is caused by not using the muscles enough. People with seated jobs, medical conditions that limit their movement, or decreased activity levels can lose muscle tone and develop atrophy. This type of atrophy can be reversed with exercise and better nutrition. Bedridden people can have significant muscle wasting. Astronauts who are away from the Earth's gravity can develop decreased muscle toneafter just a few days of weightlessness.
- The most severe type of muscle atrophy is neurogenic atrophy. It occurs when there is an injury to, or disease of, a nerve that connects to the muscle. This type of muscle atrophy tends to occur more suddenly than disuse atrophy.
Examples of diseases affecting the nerves that control muscles:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease)
- Guillain-Barre syndrome
- Neuropathy
- Polio (poliomyelitis)
Although people can adapt to muscle atrophy, even minor muscle atrophy usually causes some loss of movement or strength.
Some muscle atrophy occurs normally with aging. Other causes may include:
- Alcohol-associated myopathy
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease)
- Burns
- Dermatomyositis and polymyositis
- Guillain-Barre syndrome
- Injury
- Long-term corticosteroid therapy
- Malnutrition
- Motor neuropathy (such as diabetic neuropathy)
- Muscular dystrophy
- Not moving (immobilization)
- Osteoarthritis
- Polio
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Spinal cord injury
- Stroke
Home Care
An exercise program (under the direction of a therapist or doctor) is recommended to help treat muscle atrophy. This may include exercises in water to reduce the muscle workload, and other types of rehabilitation.
People who cannot actively move one or more joints can do exercises using braces or splints.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your doctor for an appointment if you have unexplained or long-term muscle loss. You can often see this when you compare one hand, arm, or leg to the other.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Thehealth care providerwill perform a physical examination and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
- When did the muscle atrophy begin?
- Is it getting worse?
- What other symptoms do you have?
The doctor will look at your arms and legs and measure muscle size to try to determine which nerve or nerves are affected.
Tests that may be performed include:
- Blood tests
- CT scans
- Electromyography (EMG)
- MRI scans
- Muscle or nerve biopsy
- Nerve conduction studies
- X-rays
Treatment may include physical therapy,ultrasound therapy and, in some cases, surgery to correct a contracture.

It means that feminism has gone from something that the right wants to destroy to something it wants to appropriate.
What part of feminism means that I walk away from the things that challenge and upset me on occasion?
Singh went on to say that Indian women should beware of adopting a western code of feminism.
You should mold your definition of feminism to the one held by your critics.
She blamed the lawyers for focusing on politics, not on feminism.
And, besides, she felt constrained to point out that feminism meant worlds more than a mere vote.
It will be seen from this how little he is involved by feminism.
But first the explanation of why I, a man, write these articles on feminism.
With flies, feminism is brought frankly into the love mechanism.
As the victim of masculinism or feminism is a degenerate the explosive manifestations are more marked.
The doctrine — and the political movement based on it — that women should have the same economic, social, and political rights as men. (See under "Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology.")

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a… hovercraft?
Hovercrafts are still a figment of human imagination to many, a vehicle that only exists in movies or in high-tech laboratories. In reality, hovercrafts have been around for more than 50 years, and few know that Auburn University has been building and racing them for a full decade. What is a hovercraft? They are nothing like Hollywood models, and according to Thomas Wills, sophomore in Auburn University's Department of Polymer and Fiber Engineering, "It's not like anything you've ridden before."
Auburn's team, the Hovering Tigers, hasn't raced in a few years, but that will change on Saturday, April 27, when a new era of an old rivalry begins. The Hovering Tigers will participate in a race on Lake Lurleen in Tuscaloosa, Ala., against the University of Alabama's newly formed hovercraft team. Teams from across the country are invited to compete in the race, which is sponsored by Hoverclub of America, but the Auburn-Alabama rivalry provides a particular interest to locals. The race is being called the Hovercraft Iron Bowl.
"We've got a competition," said Kent Gano, racing director of Hoverclub of America. "And, you know, that's really what I want to see." Gano has been involved in the national hovercraft organization and races since the mid-'80s after his retirement from the U.S. Navy. Gano said this race, the University Hoverbowl Challenge, could be the start of a collegiate division of hovercraft racing.
"The goal of this race is to get other schools involved, for it to grow," said Garrett Blackburn, four-year team member and polymer and fiber engineering major. He believes the Auburn-Alabama rivalry is an appropriate place to start this trend. "I could see other schools in the SEC joining in."
Blackburn became interested in the team while visiting Auburn in high school on E-Day, an annual open house for high school students to explore programs offered by Auburn's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.
"I just like making things and this is kind of the next step up," said Blackburn. "There's lots of trial and error that goes into it, a lot of tweaking and adjustments." He adds that there are various skills available to build their vehicle thanks to a variety of backgrounds found in team members majoring in polymer and fiber, mechanical, chemical, electrical, industrial and systems engineering and other programs outside of engineering.
"It's cool to see the stuff we've been learning in class and having a chance to put it into application," said Blackburn. Until recently, only a few members of the team had driven the orange hovercraft, but newly trained driver Mary Palmer Cook picked up the moves with ease. A driver hasn't been chosen to race on Lake Lurleen, but Cook has a good chance of receiving that opportunity.
"I think Mary Palmer will do pretty well when we're figuring out who should drive for the race," said Blackburn. Cook, a chemical engineering major, is petite and her size makes her a likely candidate for the team's driver compared to male students. "Anytime you want to make something fly, the less weight you have to lift it up is better," Blackburn said.
No matter who ends up driving the craft, the Hovering Tigers are excited for the chance to race Alabama's new team. Members have been working hard to get all of the kinks ironed out and fit in some practice time for drivers to become accustomed to handling the vehicle.
"I'm helping them both out, here and at Alabama," said Gano, as he advised Auburn team members on repositioning fan blades. "I'm on neither side, but as it looks right now, I'd say Auburn has the upper hand."
Their orange hovercraft, one of two vehicles the Auburn team races, is primarily fiberglass, a heavy, but inexpensive material compared to the carbon fiber used for the black hovercraft the team also experiments with. The Hovering Tiger's orange craft can travel on land and water. It is supported by a fabric cushion of pressurized air — a fan controls the lift and moves air behind the hovercraft, giving it forward motion. Bicycle handlebars orient a rudder that controls turns. The team chose to race the orange craft because the vehicle has been the recent "guinea pig" in the team's shop. It looks intimidating and complex, but according to Blackburn it's actually quite simple.
Team membership has no prerequisites except the willingness to work and contribute. The Hovering Tigers team was formed in 2003 with help from former polymer and fiber engineering faculty member Fissal Abd Elhady, the team's current faculty adviser, Schwartz, who is head of the department, and technical adviser Jeff Thompson. Thompson is the polymer and fiber engineering composites lab technician at Auburn, and he supervises and assists students with work performed inside the lab and at testing sites.
"It's essential for a hovercraft to be strong, but as light as possible," Thompson said, adding that the initial idea for the team was to show how Auburn students could make a lightweight, strong composite part, and he suggested they build a hovercraft.
"We have a number of 'gearheads' and some beginners in mechanics, but all of the students are doing great," Thompson said. "Building the hovercraft is the easy part. It gives the students that grew up with grease under their fingernails a chance to put together their own creation and test it out in an exciting competition."
The 2013 team's members include Blackburn, Cook, Fitzpatrick and Wills, as well as Holland Bankston, Nick Johnson, Alex Avery, Tam Thornton, Sanyam Shirgaonkar, Velislav Stamenov and faculty adviser Thompson.
The Hovering Tigers team was formed to enhance practical hands-on design experience, raise public awareness of the quality of an Auburn engineering degree and provide students with cross-disciplinary knowledge in a team setting. It is clear that is still the case today.
"You don't really have to know anything about this stuff," said Cook, as she watched team member Tom Fitzpatrick drive the craft across the open fields at Auburn's Research Park on South College Street. "You just have to want to know about it. And you need to be OK with getting your hands dirty."

- Hyperoxia reversibly alters oxygen consumption and metabolism (2012)
- Aim: Ventilation with pure oxygen (hyperoxic ventilation: HV) is thought to decrease whole body oxygen consumption (VO(2)). However, the validity and impact of this phenomenon remain ambiguous; until now, under hyperoxic conditions, VO(2) has only been determined by the reverse Fick principle, a method with inherent methodological problems. The goal of this study was to determine changes of VO(2), carbon dioxide production (VCO(2)), and the respiratory quotient (RQ) during normoxic and hyperoxic ventilation, using a metabolic monitor. Methods: After providing signed informed consent and institutional acceptance, 14 healthy volunteers were asked to sequentially breathe room air, pure oxygen, and room air again. VO(2), VCO(2), RQ, and energy expenditure (EE) were determined by indirect calorimetry using a modified metabolic monitor during HV. Results: HV reduced VO(2) from 3.4 (3.0/4.0) mL/kg/min to 2.8 (2.5/3.6) mL/kg/min (P < 0.05), whereas VCO(2) remained constant (3.0 [2.6/3.6] mL/kg/min versus 3.0 [2.6/3.5] mL/kg/min, n.s.). After onset of HV, RQ increased from 0.9 (0.8/0.9) to 1.1 (1.0/1.1). Most changes during HV were immediately reversed during subsequent normoxic ventilation. Conclusion: HV not only reduces VO(2), but also increases the respiratory quotient. This might be interpreted as an indicator of the substantial metabolic changes induced by HV. However, the impact of this phenomenon requires further study.
- The choice of the intravenous fluid influences the tolerance of acute normovolemic anemia in anesthetized domestic pigs (2012)
- The correction of hypovolemia with acellular fluids results in acute normovolemic anemia. Whether the choice of the infusion fluid has an impact on the maintenance of oxygen (O2) supply during acute normovolemic anemia has not been investigated so far. Methods: Thirty-six anesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs were hemodiluted to their physiological limit of anemia tolerance, reflected by the individual critical hemoglobin concentration (Hbcrit). Hbcrit was defined as the Hb-concentration corresponding with the onset of supply-dependency of total body O2-consumption (VO2). The hemodilution protocol was randomly performed with either Tetrastarch (6% HES 130/0.4, TS-group, n=9), Gelatin (3.5% urea-crosslinked polygeline, GEL-group, n=9), Hetastarch (6% HES 450/0.7, HS-group, n=9) or Ringer's solution (RS-group, n=9). The primary endpoint was the dimension of Hbcrit, secondary endpoints were parameters of central hemodynamics, O2-transport and tissue oxygenation. Results: In each animal, normovolemia was maintained throughout the protocol. Hbcrit was met at 3.7+/-0.6 g/dl (RS), 3.0+/-0.6 g/dl (HS P<0.05 vs. RS), 2.7+/-0.6 g/dl (GEL, P<0.05 vs. RS) and 2.1+/-0.4 g/dl (TS, P<0.05 vs. GEL, HS and RS). Hemodilution with RS resulted in a significant increase of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and a decrease of arterial oxygen partial pressure (paO2), O2-extraction ratio was increased, when animals of the TS-, GEL- and HS-groups met their individual Hbcrit. Conclusions: The choice of the intravenous (i.v) fluid has an impact on the tolerance of acute normovolemic anemia induced by acellular volume replacement. Third-generation Tetrastarch preparations (e.g., HES 130/0.4) appear most advantageous regarding maintenance of tissue oxygenation during progressive anemia. The underlying mechanism includes a lower degree of extravasation and favourable effects on microcirculatory function.

The share market held on to early gains to add three quarters of a per cent in value.
Shares opened the day stronger and stayed there on the back of better than expected employment figures and another record profit from a major bank.
Morgans senior private client adviser Bill Chatterton said markets were a bit in limbo, with investors unwilling to push the main local indices much above or below the 5,400 point mark unless there was a catalyst.
"The market is arguably pretty well priced but generally investors don't want to sell aggressively because the yields are still good in the big ones," he said.
"It is not cheap and it's not expensive and we are in that phase at the moment."
The unemployment rate stayed at 5.8 per cent in April, with more people in work than economists had forecast.
National Australia Bank's half year profit grew by 8.5 per cent to $3.15 billion, continuing the trend of profit growth set by Westpac and ANZ - regarded as good signs for the economy.
NAB shares added 30 cents to $34.14, Westpac gained 40 cents to $34.90, Commonwealth Bank improved 54 cents to $79.09 and ANZ was three cents higher at $33.80.
The resources sector made gains, with BHP Billiton up 48 cents at $37.65, Rio Tinto lifting 86 cents at $61.46 and Fortescue Metals 19 cents higher at $4.82.
Shareholders liked Qantas' update on its job cuts, which revealed 2,200 staff would be gone by the end of June, and nearly all of its 5,000 cuts are set to be completed 12 months later.
Shares in the airline gained 2.5 cents, or 2.1 per cent, to $1.245.
* The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index added 41 points, or 0.75 per cent, to 5,476.8.
* The broader All Ordinaries index gained 36.8 points, or 0.68 per cent, at 5,455.9.
* The June share price index futures contract was 39 points higher at 5,459, with 27,011 contracts traded.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEST was $US1,291.29 per fine ounce, down $US19.31 on Wednesday's price of $US1,310.60.
* National turnover was 1.45 billion securities worth $4.5 billion.

The room was spacious and nicely decorated. Was easy to find and very friendly with English spoken. Nic breakfast
Beautiful and clean room furnished with taste. Very good location (close to various public transportation lines and near a big mall). The owner of the hotel speaks well english and german and was very helpful and kind. Price was ok. Hairdryer, microwave and mini bar which were listed as included in room facilities were missing. More different kinds and sorts of food for breakfast would be great (f.e. 2-3 sorts of cereals and 2-3 sorts of salami and cheese). Too soft bed and pillows for our taste.
Nice and obliging people. Good central location but quiet. Nice decor in the room, high ceilings and big windows. The bed sheets were a bit rough.
Very nice accomodation (art nouveau rooms with very good and tasteful furniture), excellent location (close to various public transportation lines and to the centre), good breakfast, nice discussions with the owner in English and German
Good location, close to central train station and easy to go anywhere else. Quite, clean, cozy, we like it very much. Coffee is so so.
A new place but very friendly, good location, and a great standard of furnishing Hard to find as no sign outside !
Very individual spacious and large rooms - very clean! Timmer, the receptionist was very friendly and helpful (Thanks again, Timmer!). Good location near metro and Nugaty station. Parking in the street possible. Breakfast included with decent orange juice (that is not standard!). I know what is offered is standard in most locations but I would appreciate some more choice in breakfast. Eggs, bacon, etc. Not a must in this price category, certainly but it must be a unique variation from the average.
Spacious clean room, well connected to all sightseeings in Budapest Shabby entrance in the building, breakfast room a bit gloomy
Hotel's and rooms decoration is awesome, very cozy atmosphere, the staff is very friendly, nice breakfast.
The staff were very friendly and genuine. The guest house is newly openend and there is a few teathing problems with the plumbing!
I especially liked the cleanliness of it all. The staff is very proffesional and very polite and I liked them very much, also.
The people were very nice and very helpful smoking in the hotel lobby and secondly phone and internet in the room would have been helpful and there was no ironing board
Family run and very helpful, even though the could not all speak English they did do everything to help very friendly and helpful. A bit out of the City centre, but value for money very good suggest the use of public transport to get to City staff very helpful in giving directions.
Great hospitality. The front desk person was so friendly. He went out of his way to offer and make me espresso way before breakfast time. Hotel was spotlessly clean and felt very new. Someone mentioned no TV in a review, but I just wanted to say that there was a TV/cable in my room. Fairly convenient location to the airport - I didn't see any other hotels closer to the airport.
Good connection to city center by public transport, very good price. Noise from other rooms (thin walls)
Very smart, clean, and modern hotel with helpful english speaking staff. Safe parking and on main route out of the City. Comfortable lounge area with free wi-fi. A bit far from the centre, but tram 50 stops outside the door and connects with the Metro so only about 45 mins to centre. (Also all-night buses)
reception at any time
The quality and location were good for what we paid. The staff were extremely rude and actually tried to take advantage of us by having a third guest pay full price for another room, despite the fact that it was listed as 11 euros on website and we had a 3rd bed in our room. They insisted we pay another 50 euros for our friend for a single room, which turned out to be a triple room. It was a waste of time and money and we got extremely irritated that the management and personnel did not value our patronage at all. They would rather make money on the spot than have us as future customers. I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone and I am a Vice President for a major usa travel company.
I stayed only over one night and even that I arrived late in the night, the hotel staff was waiting us and he was very kind. In the morning, we wake up at 4.30 and he was waitng us with warm coffe and cookies. Thank you!
there is nothing good in this hotel the staff was the worst staff ever . and they was rude and the hotel was in dangerous area of Budapest i even check out early in the morning just to run away from this hotel i well never ever recommend this hotel i well prefer to sleep in street rather than this hotel.

Fox Misleads On Religious Belief And Contraception To Attack Health Care Mandate
Blog ››› ››› LARA SCHWARTZ
Right-wing attorney Jay Sekulow appeared on Fox News to argue that for-profit corporation owners' religious beliefs trump federal law when it comes to contraception, even while they take advantage of the legal benefits corporate status provides.
On America's Newsroom, host Bill Hemmer featured Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice, who is also known for claiming that President Obama was threatening military voters and promoting laws outlawing homosexuality. The show gave Sekulow a platform to promote attacks on the Affordable Care Act's provision requiring employer-provided health plans to include contraception coverage.
Sekulow's group and others have sued to block the mandate on behalf of corporations seeking to deny access to contraception on religious grounds. The results have been mixed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit blocked the law as it applied to the owners of Korte & Luitjohan Contractors.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, however, denied Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma-based corporation, the relief it sought.
In discussing the Hobby Lobby case, Hemmer asked Sekulow to explain "why you believe legally they win this." Unchallenged, Sekulow touted his court wins on other cases regarding the enforcement of the mandate, stating:
Well, for the same reason, Bill, we've won three cases that we brought so far. And that is the right of free exercise of religion, applies to these companies that have principles that the owners of these companies have religious convictions and to force or compel someone to violate their conscience is exactly what the free exercise clause of the constitution of the United States was designed to prevent.
But Hemmer failed to push back on Sekulow's claims and provide an accurate picture the current state of the law. In fact, the highest level ruling reached the opposite conclusion. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor (sitting as circuit justice reviewing decisions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit), denied Hobby Lobby's request for an injunction relieving them of their obligation to provide this coverage to their thousands of female employees. She noted that:
This Court has not previously addressed similar [Religious Freedom Restoration Act] or free exercise claims brought by closely held for-profit corporations and their controlling shareholders alleging that the mandatory provision of certain employee benefits substantially burdens their exercise of religion.
Many legal scholars have also rejected Sekulow's and Hobby Lobby's position.
Hemmer also gave Sekulow a pass on his assertion that corporations, which are not human beings, have religious rights like people do. This presented an imbalanced and inaccurate view not only on religious liberty but also on corporate law. As Supreme Court analyst Lyle Denniston observed:
[B]usiness people who form corporations do so to keep themselves independent from it: one of the main advantages of the corporate form is that the owners are not targeted when their company gets sued.
Hobby Lobby and Sekulow are trying to have it both ways: when a creditor comes to collect a bill or a party sues the corporation they own, they don't have to pay because a corporation is separate. Then they turn around and claim that they are not obligated to abide by a law they don't like because they and the business are one and the same. If courts adopted the theory that corporations have religious rights, corporate owners could game the system, hiding behind corporate status when convenient and discarding it when it's not.

LONG BEACH - A man fatally shot another man near a gas station early Thursday, then fired at a Long Beach police patrol car and was critically wounded when two officers fired back, authorities said.
The first shooting occurred shortly after midnight near the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Pacific Avenue, Long Beach police spokeswoman Lisa Massacani said.
"Officers were in the area, and they heard the shots fired," Massacani said.
The officers went to the location and saw the suspect walking away from the scene, Massacani said. As an officer was coming to a stop in his patrol car, the suspect fired at the vehicle, and bullets hit the windshield and hood, she said.
"An officer-involved shooting occurred, and the suspect was wounded in the upper body," Massacani said.
The suspect and the man he shot were taken to a hospital in critical condition, she said. No officers were hurt.
The man wounded by the suspect died a few hours later, Massacani said. He was only identified as a black male in his 30s.
The suspect, who is in his 60s, remained hospitalized in critical condition, she said. His name was not released.
Westbound lanes of Pacific Coast Highway were closed while authorities investigated the shooting.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office also will conduct an independent investigation, as is standard for officer-involved shootings, Massacani said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Long Beach Police Department Homicide Detectives Terri Hubert or Mark Bigel at 562-570-7244. Anonymous tips can be submitted via text or Web at www.tipsoft.com.

M's beat the Angels 8-3
Smoak leads Mariners past Angels
Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - One of the biggest questions during the spring for the Seattle Mariners was who could provide protection behind their coveted offseason acquisition Robinson Cano.
They may have their answer.
Justin Smoak ripped a three-run double as part of a Seattle four-run third inning and the Mariners beat the LA Angels of Anaheim, 8-3, in the middle test of a season-opening three-game set. READ THE REST OF THE STORY BELOW
The 27-year-old Smoak, who is already 4-for-8 with a homer, two doubles and six RBI in two games, has yet to live up to lofty expectations in Seattle after it acquired the 11th overall pick in the 2008 Draft from the Texas Rangers as part of the Cliff Lee deal on July 9, 2010.
Smoak tallied just three RBI over his first 20 games last season and didn't smack his first double until the 14th game. He finished 2013 hitting .238 with 20 homers and 50 RBI.
Brad Miller cracked a pair of homers, while Erasmo Ramirez (1-0) struck out six and allowed two runs on six hits over seven frames for Seattle, which won the season opener 10-3 on Monday night.
Cano went 1-for-3 with a run scored.
C.J. Wilson (0-1) surrendered six runs on eight hits and two walks while fanning eight for the Angels, who have started 0-2 for the first time since 2001. Raul Ibanez belted a two-run shot in defeat.
Back-to-back one-out singles by Dustin Ackley and John Buck preceded Abraham Almonte's double to left in the third, which brought Ackley home to open the scoring. After Miller struck out, Wilson intentionally walked Cano to bring up Smoak, who cleared the bases after lining a one-hop double into the gap in left-center to make it 4-0.
Ibanez's two-run blast to center in the fourth cut the deficit in half, but Miller smacked a solo shot to right-center in the fifth and Ackley added an RBI double in the sixth to increase the margin to 6-2.
Albert Pujols scored on Cano's relay throw to first in the eighth following a botched double-play attempt and Miller hit his second longball in the ninth, a two-run shot, to finish the scoring.
Game Notes
Seattle was 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position, while the Angels finished 1-for-8 with RISP ... Wilson had an 8-2 mark with a 2.14 ERA and 77 strikeouts over 11 starts against Seattle coming in.

The Corwin took the lead, and a five-mile run brought us to the edge of the ice-pack.
She was tried in March, 1692, by the Justice Corwin of the big, dark house.
In the matter of house hardware Corwin sold a considerable variety of locks.
Professor Corwin says that this utterance was approved by Jefferson.
I had given up hope of Mr. Corwin starting the deer so they would be likely to come my way.
Corwin asked him in a quizzical way if he was a foreign ambassador.
"Not at all, my dear Marguerite," said Mrs. Corwin, soothingly.
Once in, Corwin told the young man to take care of himself, and he did so.
Mr. Corwin said that he had counted nine shots that I had fired.
My object was to let the "Corwin" know that my party was coming.

The Chancellor did not attend, he had a separate interview with Haldane.
"The good Lord would look to the child," said Haldane unexpectedly.
"You deserve to be," said Haldane, with a mock severity which veiled a certain pride.
Haldane had been laying fresh sticks on the embers while she spoke.
From time to time a brainy civilian walks in, like Cardwell or Haldane, and saves it from becoming patently ridiculous.
We want to go all we can just now, to overhaul that ship Haldane saw.
"Something more than the season has hit him," commented Haldane, as we proceeded.
Master Haldane seed it, and I seed it, and poor Jackson seed it.
So I intended myself; but this business about poor Haldane put everything else out of my head.'
"I bet he's working on the chapter of a novel—he's not sick," laughed Haldane.
Haldane Hal·dane (hôl'dān', -dən)
Family of Scottish intellectuals and scientists, including John Scott Haldane (1860-1936), a physiologist noted for his studies of the exchange of gases during respiration; and his son John Burdon Sanderson Haldane (1892-1964), a geneticist.

I'm stumped trying to figure out a way to have a different background on my
 elements when an  inside of them is selected.
I'm also using a Jquery tabbing feature called idTabs to navigate to various anchors when clicked to give the appearance of tabs. It's really all a one page website.
The difficulty is in trying to get a different "selected" sort of background on the tab link
 that has just been clicked.
Tab markup is
So the tabBacker CSS has a colored background and I'd like that to switch to an image when that link is selected. But the anchor link is inside the
 that needs the switched background. It like to call an image called button-backer_on.gif as a background when selected.
Here's current CSS:
.idTabs li { float:left; width:234px; height:94px; background-color:#2f2f2f; font-size:18px; text-align:center; }.idTabs li a { color:#ffffff; }.tabBorder { border-right:1px solid #3c3c3c; }.tabBackers { background-color:#353535; }.tabBackers a.selected { background:#0082c8 url(../img/button-backer_on.gif) top left no-repeat; }
And the dev link:
I also got to figure out to center that button text Vertically in the
 ... weird problem ...
Shoot. I figured it out ... I just had to apply my background formatting to the anchor instead of the
.
Does anybody know how to center that text vertically?
You could set the UL to display: table and the LIs to display: table-cell (remove the float) and vertical-align: middle and set the width and height on the LIs that was on the As. Then you'd have to remove display: block from the As and put the blue background on the LIs on hover and when selected.
My understanding was that all the action had to happen on the anchors. Can I use the
 as a hotspot? I would love to know how to do that.

Some text

There also must be a way to tell it to do a colspan="4" right? because right now the table is stacking vertically.
I tried this too: display:table-row;
Didn't work.
I am slowly getting the picture. What I was missing in the past post was the vertical align middle part. That snapped everything horizontal nicely.
My last issue is, I still don't see how to do a .selected on an
. I tried to display the
 as an anchor or something, but it didn't work. I can't do this on a hover because it's just required for the "pages" that are deemed in the "on" state.
New dev link:
Nice work so far. What you can do is this in your CSS:
.idTabs li:hover, .idTabs li.selected {
background: #0082c8;
So, that will make the menu item blue when you hover over it, and it will also be blue if you add a class of "selected" to the LI, which you would do when that menu link's content is visible. At the moment, the "selected" class is being placed on the  ... which is probably better, but using display: table and vertical-align center makes it hard (if not impossible) to get the  to fill the menu item space.
So I'd look at editing the JS so the .selected class is placed on the LI instead.
Ahhhhh ... getting close ... just no cigar yet ...
I'm telling jquery to place the class on the
 but it put it on the anchor.
switch($('.idTabs a')){ case $('.enablingLink'): $('.tabBackersEnabling').addClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhat').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersBenefits').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhy').removeClass("selected"); break; case $('.whatLink'): $('.tabBackersEnabling').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhat').addClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersBenefits').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhy').removeClass("selected"); break; case $('.benefitsLink'): $('.tabBackersEnabling').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhat').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersBenefits').addClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhy').removeClass("selected"); break; case $('.whyLink'): $('.tabBackersEnabling').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhat').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersBenefits').removeClass("selected"); $('.tabBackersWhy').addClass("selected"); break;}
I'm starting to think this aint possible. Nothing will switch the damn class of another element. It always thinks I want to deal with an anchor.
Haven't I seen this butt simple move done a million times all over the damn internet? Shouldn't be this hard. They never even mentioned having the hover effect, but now that you do ... yeah let's do that too. That link you pasted in is cool. Not really a plugin though is it? More like a guy just trying to tell you how to do this from scratch which I don't have the time for right now unfortunately. Do i need to stat over? What gives?
Even if i learn his way, it's not gonna switch the class of a different element.
I think for my purposes today with limited time and all I'm just gonna go down and dirty
Thanks for all the help Ralph!|sc
Well, it seems to work as you want, so well done.
Thanks again Ralph. I learned a lot on that journey.

Rockers remember The Everly Brothers' Phil Everly
Listen to The Everly Brothers on iHeartRadio
Queen's Brian May says the late Everly Brothers singer Phil Everly was "magical." In a lengthy "Bri's Soapbox" post the rocker shares just how much the Everly Brothers mean to him. He admits that with Phil's death he feels like "a huge piece" of his youth "just melted away," because he "loved, loved those guys," and still does.
May explains that he learned how to play rhythm guitar from listening to Everly Brothers record, along with "how two-part harmonies work." He adds that "you'll find echoes of their influence" in a lot of Queen music, which he believes is perhaps "the best tribute." Brian adds that his recollections of Everly Brothers songs are among his "most treasured memories."
While May also regrets that he never got the chance to meet the Everly Brothers, The Zombies' Rod Argent says performing once with Phil was a moment he'll always cherish. He recalls in a Facebook post that he agreed to accompany another artist in performing "Let It Be Me" on a TV show, and it caught Phil's attention. Argent admits he was "in HEAVEN" when Phil asked to play it with him.
The Who and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine are some of the others who have shared their sadness over Everly's death on social media.
RIP the great Phil E
— The Who (@TheWho) January 4, 2014
Phil Everly died on Friday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. He was 74.

LONG BEACH - A 21-year-old man was shot to death at a Long Beach apartment complex, a police sergeant said today.
The shooting was reported at 9:44 p.m. Saturday in the 1700 block of Coronado Avenue, said Long Beach police Sgt. David Marander.
Police identified the victim as Frank Gordon III, of Long Beach. Officers found Gordon suffering from gunshot wounds when they arrived, Marander said. "Fire Department personnel declared the victim deceased at the scene," he said.
Detectives believe this crime may be gang related, Marander said.
A video reporter at the scene said witnesses told him the shooting took place at a pre-Super Bowl party attended by 40 to 50 people in an apartment complex, and it may have started with a fight.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact homicide detectives Teryl Hubert and Mark Bigel at (562) 570-7244. Anonymous tips may be submitted by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or going to www.lacrimestoppers.org.

July 15, 2014 | In 2004, Randy DeLay was asked by the commissioners of the Port of Brownsville, Texas, to justify his $25,000 monthly lobbying bills.

Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).

Now some lawmakers are quickly giving the money away to distance themselves from the embattled senator.
