Peter Jackson's decision to extend "The Hobbit" to three movies easily could be seen as a Gollum-like move fueled by greed and an unwillingness to give up his precioussss hold on the J.R.R. Tolkien legacy. That his announcement this week follows moves to break the final chapters of the "Harry Potter," "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" sagas into two films likely will fuel talk that the Hollywood-defying "Lord of the Rings" trilogy director has finally sold out.
But we're looking at the cinematic equivalent of a Hobbit's third breakfast as a gutsy choice that sets up Jackson for an unprecedented soaring Ent-sized success – or a bloated failure.
Jackson seems less a Gollum than a Baggins – a reluctant, unlikely hero thrust into an epic quest against odds as steep as Mount Doom. He seemed happy enough to hand over the reins to Guillermo del Toro only to step back in after the director bowed out.
Jackson, like Bilbo and Frodo, has a chance to make history, far beyond The Shire. But Hollywood offers cautionary tales. George Lucas' "Star Wars" prequel earned trilogy him the wrath of many of those with fanatical attachment to the first three installments. Some "Star Wars" fans, as best seen in the fascinating documentary "The People vs. George Lucas," feel as if they're part owners and protectors of the original flicks.
We suspect the sentiments are as strong among "Lord of the Rings" devotees, even if the franchises are different in key respects. Unlike Lucas, who created his own world with "Star Wars," Jackson is a master interpreter of existing source material who turned the "Ring" books into greats film – defying expectations among those who believed the novels couldn't faithfully be translated to the big screen. But "The Hobbit," of course, is only one book – and the lightest and least complex of Tolkien's "Ring"-related tomes.
Perhaps Jackson's biggest challenge will be living up to expectations that have only grown since "The Return of the King" bowed in late 2003. Any hint of a letdown when "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" debuts Dec. 14th could not only sink the prequel series but tarnish memories of Jackson's classic initial trilogy.
Still, the lure of the ring is too strong to resist – for Jackson and for fans. Jackson has earned our trust. His new path for "The Hobbit" is a journey we're willing to take.

With all of the changes in cabling designations and no official standards, it pays to stay on top of category cabling.
Nearly everyone involved with data cabling is familiar with category cabling and knows its classifications continue to change. Since several of these changes for-malized in the past few months, it's a good time to take a closer look at these changing cabling designations. While we typically refer to this topic as category cabling, it involves far more than cable. Jacks, patch cords, patch panels, punch-down blocks and testing adapters must also function correctly and meet specified testing parameters for any system to function as a Cat. "X" system.
Cat. 5 and Gigabit Ethernet. Currently, one of the most important new network types is Gigabit Ethernet, also known by its technical name, 1000Base-T. Unlike the traditional Ethernet protocol (10Base-T) and Fast Ethernet (100Base-T), this new method of transmitting computer signals uses all four pairs of a standard 4-pair cable, which transmits in both directions over each pair. This makes the operation somewhat more difficult, and has left a lot of computer system administrators asking, "Can I run gigabit Ethernet over my existing Cat. 5 system?"
To answer this question, you must perform tests. However, this requires more thorough testing than traditional Cat. 5 applications. Why? Gigabit Ethernet demands more of the cabling system than 10Base-T Ethernet. And although some Cat. 5 installations passed testing upon installation, the systems aren't sufficient for Gigabit Ethernet operation.
You can find the new test parameters in a document called TSB95, which describes the field testing of Cat. 5 cabling systems. TSB stands for Telecommunications System Bulletin. While technically not a standard, many industry professionals view this document as such. New testing requirements for Cat. 5 testing include:
- FEXT (Far End Crosstalk): This is crosstalk (a signal passing from one pair to another through electromagnetic induction) at the far end of a cable run.
- Return loss: Electrical energy reflects back through a cabling system to the source. Variances in the impedance of the system cause these reflections.
- Propagation delay: The time it takes for a signal to transmit over the length of the cable.
- Delay skew: The difference in the time required for a signal to reach the end of a cable on different pairs. In other words, the time delay between two simultaneous signals sent through each pair reach the end of the cable.
A good tester will perform these tests automatically, but be sure it's built to measure these new requirements - the older ones aren't. So what do you do if your Cat. 5 system will not pass these new testing requirements, but you'd still like to run Gigabit Ethernet?
1. Remove punch-down blocks and replace with patch panels. Two connector systems are more likely to pass the new test requirements than the very closely spaced punch-down connections. (This option may or may not be sufficient.)
2. Replace your connectors and/or patch cords with Cat. 5e devices. (This option should suffice.)
3. Replace the entire cabling system. (Typically not a cost-effective solution.)
Cat. 5e. Now approved, Enhanced Cat. 5 cabling (Cat. 5e) incorporates the new testing parameters we just covered. Essentially, this new cabling is an improved version of Cat. 5. Just like regular Cat. 5, it's rated for 100 MHz and used in the same applications. Remember, however, TSB95 details testing techniques. Cat. 5e is an entire set of specifications, not only for testing but also for the manufacture and performance of cables and hardware. Cat. 5e cabling and devices are similar to Cat. 5 equipment, however, they're made for more stringent requirements.
See a contradiction yet? We said Cat. 5e systems are rated for 100 MHz, and you can use them for the transmission of Gigabit Ethernet. Obviously, 100 MHz and one Gigabit are quite different levels of signal transmission. (By a factor of 10.) How do you explain this? Cat. 5e carries signals under the Gigabit Ethernet protocol, but not at the implied signal rate of one Gigabit per sec.
Cat. 6. Cat. 6 cabling remains in development. Although you've seen numerous advertisements for Cat. 6 cabling systems, manufacturers designed these products to a "draft" standard, not a formal one. Several types of Cat. 6 equipment are currently on the market that aren't interchangeable. The fact is, cable and tester manufacturers make their products to different bandwidth standards.
The absence of a standard means Cat. 6 systems are now proprietary; this means if you use Cat. 6, you must stick with one make of equipment from end to end. Suppressing crosstalk in RJ45 jacks is extremely difficult, and each of the manufacturers uses slightly different methods to counteract this problem. That means connectors and cables do not mix and match.
Cat. 7. Cat. 7 cabling is still in development. When it becomes reality, this system will involve larger shielded cables, larger connectors and reasonably good bandwidth (about 600 MHz). Currently, U.S. standards committees are doing almost nothing on Cat. 7 and focusing on Cat. 6. European agencies will probably have standards and products in the market ahead of the United States. That's too bad, because Cat. 7 could handle relatively high bandwidth levels, without pushing the technology so close to the edge that it fails regularly.

PKRA Red Sea World Cup Day 4
The sound of wind whistling through the palm lined shores of the hotel was like an alarm clock for riders and crew starting the final day of competition here in the Red Sea. Surprisingly the wind was even stronger than forecast with some locals predicting a large sandstorm headed our way. The 9am briefing informed riders that the wind had been measured at 25-43knots and that the comp area would be adjusted to accommodate the more offshore direction wind compared to previous days. Thankfully the sandstorm held back and the event continued as planned.
The men were the first to test the area with Micheal Shitzhoffer(*???) and Jerry Van derkopp(*???) doing their best to make something out of the tough conditions, from there thankfully the conditions only improved with the wind swinging more side-shore making it less gusty and averaging a solid 25-30knots the whole day. The men were riding 7m kites whilst the women were mostly on 5-6m.
The womens double elimination was one of the most hotly contested to date, with all girls giving it their all to improve upon their first round seeding. Manuela Jungo, Malin Amle and Annabel Vanwesterop all had very credible heats but sadly were unable to make it back into the final four. It was Anneloose Lammerts who once again surprised everyone with a great heat against Bruna Kayjia knocking her from the 3rd place and giving her a chance at the second place spot. She rode an extremely close heat against Gisela Pulido leading for most of it until Pulido managed to put together a few tricks in the dying minutes and keep her place.
The Womens final was once again an Pulido vs Winkowska affair and much like yesterdays final it seemed to be Winkowska narrowly leading for most of it due to slightly better kite positioning and power in her tricks. Winkowska also managed to land a nice backmobe towards the end of the heat (score) that no doubt sealed the deal. Scores overall were (scores). Winkowska has now won a total of 3 events this year coming 3rd only once and showing that she's truly motivated to once again reach for the world title.
The mens double elimination was exciting to watch with the strong gusty wind giving riders a chance to throw some big tricks and some even bigger crashes. Everyone was riding well for the conditions but it would be right to say that today was no-doubt Liam Whaleys day. Whaley had a methodical approach to heats doing only what he needed to win but in a way that provided him with some of the highest scoring heats of the day. The young Spaniard came all the way from dead last position, through 8(???) heats including the Brazillians (Carlos Mario, Eudazio Dasilva and Alex Neto) to come up against the winner of yesterdays single elimination Christophe Tack. Whaleys front blind mobes amongst other tricks were some of the nicest seen in competition so far and we're sure that this kid still has a bright future ahead of him. However it was once again to be Christophe Tacks day. Tack didn't ride as good as days previous, but he did enough to take the win and narrowly defeat Whaley by a .4 margin. Tack has also now won 3 events this year and has come second at another, showing that he's well on his way to winning the world title this year.

It is always later than we think, Jesus warns us this morning. Even if we are not going to die tonight, we are going to die. No matter how great our wealth, we cannot take it with us.
Our fame, our influence, our possessions, our accomplishments will soon pass and be forgotten. We must therefore seize the opportunity to make of our lives what we can. Before it is too late.
The prospect is scary, but it is also reassuring. We still have time, some time. Not as much as we would like to have, but still enough.
What are we going to do with it?
Fr. Greeley's Last Book:
We continue with our vacation stories. Once upon a time there was a daddy who had made a lot of money in the stock market (he had also made a lot of money in the commodity markets too). For every dollar he had invested in 1994, he now had ten dollars. Starting with a rather modest amount of money, he had become a millionaire. However, he as not the kind of person who could make his investments and stick with them because he knew that in the long run they would continue to grow. Quite the contrary, he was a real investor, that is to say, he bought and sold stocks almost every day to make money even more rapidly than did the ordinary investor who left it to his brokers and advisers to watch the daily opportunities. Our hero earned his living – and it was a good one – in other areas.
However, he became obsessed with the daily fluctuations in the market. He exulted when his holdings went up, and grew depressed when they went down. He called up the DJA on his computer several times every day and then explored his portfolio in detail. WELL, he went on vacation with his family and of course brought his laptop along. It happened to be one of those times when the DJA rose and fell like the tides. So he spent most of his daylight hours on his laptop.
As a result he wasted his vacation, even though the weather was beautiful every day, the lake was warm, the winds were light, and everyone else in his family had a wonderful time.

The Farmington, N.M., Fire Department has been using text messaging to firefighters and department officers to supplement its dispatch services for about seven years, and it has found there is a fine line between emergency notifications and spam.
"We've had a couple of agencies that have tried to replicate this," said Farmington firefighter Mark Mordecki. But they have had problems with service providers who were overwhelmed by or suspicious of the mass textings. One cellular carrier in Colorado cut off text service to a department that was sending out 300 texts every time there was a call.
Related coverage:
Text messaging for dispatch speeds fire department response
Mobile users get full 311 menu with new city app
Farmington uses the Remote Print Manager from Brooks Internet Software in conjunction with its computer-aided dispatch package from New World Systems and Microsoft Exchange to send out texts. Dispatch information entered by the operator at the 911 call center is massaged by RPM into a text-friendly format and sent to the Exchange server where it is queued up to the appropriate groups.
Those working groups are one of the keys to Farmington's success with the text system. Targeting specific personnel needed for each emergency run keeps the number of texts sent at a time to around 50, "so you don't get massive expenses with cellular companies for texts," Mordecki said. "You don't want to be a spammer."
Farmington F.D. does not provide cell phones to firefighters but offers stipends for personally owned phones. This means that there are a number of carriers that the system must use, but this is handled in the Exchange server, which matches each user to a cell number and carrier. Mordecki recommends managing recipient lists and text volumes in-house as much as possible rather than relying on services provided by the cellular carriers.
"In my experience, anytime we talk with them they want money," which the department can ill afford, he said. "We find it better to not even contact them at all."

Newborn of A's Neshek dies
Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Pat Neshek said that his newborn son has died.
The right-hander posted on his Twitter account late Wednesday night that he and his wife lost their first child 23 hours after his birth "with no explanation." He asked for prayers, and words of support began flooding Twitter.
Neshek took a flight home to Florida to be at the birth of Gehrig John Neshek on Tuesday.
"Our hearts go out to Pat and Stephanee and we share in their sorrow of losing their young son," the A's said. "The entire A's organization will keep the Neshek family in our prayers and thoughts, as they try to come to grips with this tragic occurrence in their lives."
Earlier in the day, the A's swept the Texas Rangers to capture an improbable AL West title. Neshek had been away from the club for the final two games.
The 32-year-old Neshek, acquired from the Baltimore Orioles in early August for cash considerations, was 2-1 for the A's with a 1.37 ERA in 24 appearances and 19 2/3 innings.

Hi everyone,
A few days ago a friend and I did a rock climb on a mountain in the Mieminger Kette. The peak is paradoxical: kind of obscure (it's not a crest peak), but contains a 15 pitch "pleasure" route by virtue of complete bolting. We climbed this route, but got lost halfway up, at a place where you are almost guaranteed to get lost. One problem is there are two topos out there, and they differ in this spot (we had the "worse" topo). Another is that the ground in that area is loose and easy. Finally, it has an odd ledge festooned with bolts that just confuses things more (there is another such unexplained ledge on the east face of this peak, very weird).
We finally got to the top, but did a fair bit of unprotected, "not fun" climbing. Here is the thing:
I want to share and disseminate this information. I think it's important and useful. I know if I had it before our trip, we'd have had a lot more fun. But I don't have enough information to create a whole mountain page. And the way things go, nobody else will for years, if ever, here on Summitpost.
I've got lots of tidbits like that. I just wish I had somewhere to PUT them. But the mountain page route just leads to despair for me, because I'm likely to make a poor page with my partial information, with intense detail in all the wrong places. The grain here is to say "good, complete information or not at all." I understand that. But I wish there was a way to accommodate a user like me. Looking around, the best place for this information is going to be local (german-language) forums. I'll certainly put it there. But I'm a Summitpost fan and wish for something more.
(I didn't include the mountain name only because it's beside the point and shouldn't become the focus of the thread).

Main Street Before Wall Street
We might start with the lesson that there is an essential role for government. Market fundamentalists have long argued that markets freed from governmental interference self-correct. We can now see clearly that the more Wall Street freed itself from regulatory oversight, the more its most powerful players manipulated markets and politics to their personal benefit. The more reckless their risk taking became, the greater the instability of the financial system, and the greater the threat to the rest of the economy.
So what would a healthy financial system look like? Let's start with the relationship between Main Street and Wall Street. Main Street is the world of local businesses and working people engaged in producing and exchanging real goods and services—a world of real wealth. Wall Street as it now exists is a world of pure money in which the sole game is to use money to make money for people who have money—a world of speculative gains and unearned claims against the real wealth of Main Street.
Money, an essential medium of exchange, makes modern economic life possible. In our current money system, the money that Main Street depends on to facilitate productive economic exchange and investment is created when Wall Street's private banks issue loans. You might say that the business of Wall Street is creating money. This does not in itself create wealth. Money is only an accounting chit useful as a medium of exchange. Wealth creation is the business of Main Street. This suggests that the only legitimate reason for the existence of Wall Street is to provide an orderly flow of money to meet the needs of Main Street.
Wall Street performed its appropriate tasks reasonably well so long as public regulatory authorities put in place subsequent to the financial crash of 1929 held it accountable to Main Street interests. As it liberated itself from public oversight, however, Wall Street turned from serving Main Street to preying on it to generate outsized financial rewards for its biggest players. It created a mind boggling variety of "heads I win, tails you lose" financial games.
It used deceptive practices to encourage people to run up credit card and mortgage debts far beyond their means to repay, and then hit the victims with special fees and usurious interest rates as they inevitably fell behind in their payments. To get the high risk mortgages off their balance sheets, the banks sold them to brokers who packaged them into tradable securities with inflated quality ratings. The banks that made the decision to extend the bad credit collected their fees and passed the risk on to others. Proceeds from the sale of the overrated securities were used to finance more lending to unqualified borrowers. Many of these overrated securities ultimately ended up in the portfolios of retirement funds, passing the risk back to Main Street workers and pensioners who had no voice in any of the decisions involved.
Wall Street also found it profitable to merge regulated banks with unregulated investment houses to facilitate insider dealing and finance a proliferation of highly leveraged hedge funds and private equity funds that specialize in gambling with other people's money using exotic financial instruments no one fully understands.
The players and their apologists claimed they were creating wealth, providing market liquidity, increasing economic efficiency, and stabilizing markets. In fact, they created and profited from financial and real estate bubbles and debt pyramids that used borrowed money to create paper assets that became collateral for more borrowing to create more paper assets to justify compensation packages for themselves in the hundreds of millions of dollars. It may be legal, but it is not wealth creation. It is an act of theft made possible by abuse of the legally sanctioned power of a private banking system to create money out of nothing and direct it to use by financial predators engaged in expropriating the real wealth of Main Street for exorbitant fees.
In 2007, the fifty highest paid private investment fund managers, averaged $588 million in compensation—19,000 times as much as average worker pay. They said they were worth it because they were so smart and productive. Now that their bets don't look so good, they think Main Street taxpayers should pony up to cover the losses of the firms they created to generate these handsome management fees.
Rather than seeking to restore the health of Wall Street's predatory private institutions, a proper plan would seek to rid Wall Street of its purely predatory elements while dismantling and reassembling its useable institutions to create a new system accountable to the needs of Main Street. Here are some of the basics.
Hedge funds and private equity funds pose great risks to society while performing no beneficial function. They should be dismantled.
As Senator Bernie Sanders has recently said, "If a company is too big to fail, it is too big to exist." Adam Smith, revered by many as the founding prophet of capitalism, cautioned against any concentration of economic power that might be used to avoid market discipline, manipulate market prices, and extract unearned profits. He had a very good idea. It's an important market principle.
It is time to revive anti-trust to break up all excessive concentrations of corporate power and particularly the banking conglomerates that have been fueling speculation in global financial markets. To meet the financial needs of Main Street create a system of federally regulated, community banks that fulfill the classic textbook function of acting as intermediaries between local people looking for a secure place for their savings and local people who need a loan to buy a home or finance a business.
Proceeds from taxes on the ill-gotten gains of those who created the financial mess can be used to make whole the pensioners, home owners, and credit card holders the system victimized.
I grew up believing that a strong middle class is a foundation of democracy and the American ideal. This would be a great time to get serious about a broader legislative agenda to restore the middle class by restoring a progressive tax system, raising the minimum wage, and assuring every American has access to the basics of a decent life. And while we are creating a tax code to favor Main Street over Wall Street we should include provisions to discourage absentee ownership and speculation by making them unprofitable.
Perhaps the most important of all the needed reform measures is to make money creation a public function and strip private banks of their ability to create money out of nothing by issuing loans at interest against unsecured demand deposits.
These are not small steps. Their implementation would likely cause significant temporary disruption, but no more than the disruption that inevitably lies ahead if the current system of predatory finance remains in place. Use the trillion dollars to help the people who are creating real wealth and let the fat cat speculators take their lumps. Only a thoroughgoing redesign of Wall Street offers prospect of a real solution. Anything else is only a costly temporary band-aid.

When the NFL's current collective bargaining agreement was hammered out by NFL owners and the NFLPA last summer, a tweak was made to the rules regarding the compensation a team can receive if one of their restricted free agents signs an offer sheet with another team.
In the past, the maximum tender that could be placed on a restricted free agent was for first- and third-round draft picks, meaning that if, say, the Cleveland Browns signed Player X, a restricted free agent for the Ravens, to an offer sheet, the Ravens could either match the contract offer and keep the player or let him walk and be compensated with those two draft picks. But in the new CBA, the maximum compensation has changed.
Now the maximum is just a first-round draft pick, which is still a steep price to pay for a player in the NFL. But the change in compensation could lead to more interest in the top restricted free agents.
The Ravens have four restricted free agents: cornerbacks Lardarius Webb and Cary Williams, running back Matt Lawrence and inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe. Webb, for example, should receive the maximum tender in terms of compensation, but with it taking just a first-round draft pick to try to get him -- not a first and a third -- there could be more suitors for Webb this offseason than there would have been in past years.
Of course, the Ravens will get the final say here. If they want to keep Player X, they can just match the offer.
On Wednesday, Ravens general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome was asked if he believes the changes to the RFA compensation rules will lead to increased interest in restricted free agents.
"This league covets draft picks. And so, in order to go after a restricted guy, No. 1, you have to give a number now that's something that we won't match as a team," Newsome said. "And then you've got to also give up a significant draft choice, because we would put some numbers on there that would make it prohibitive for people. … There's going to be some restricted free agents that we would like, but is it going to be worth giving up a significant amount of cash and cap and a draft pick? When you deal with that double-whammy, even though the rules have been relaxed, you just go, 'Nah, no, I wouldn't do it.' That's just my philosophy."
So there's that. But we can't be sure of how the NFL's 31 other personnel gurus will handle restricted free agents. For example, it only takes one general manager with cap room and a desire for a talented, young cornerback such as Webb. That general manager would have to be willing to give Webb a big contract the Ravens can't match and also be willing to give up a first-round draft pick for a proven commodity like Webb.
The Ravens want to keep Webb, who will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Newsome said on Wednesday that the Ravens would "entertain" discussions with Webb and his representatives about a contract extension, adding that it would "be best for this organization" if they got a deal done this offseason.

"The sooner you strike, the better deal you can get for yourself," Newsome said.

Boehner rejects Obama budget
House Speaker John Boehner immediately dismissed President Barack Obama's package of significant new entitlement cuts tied to new tax revenues, calling them "no way to lead and move the country forward."
The White House had portrayed the proposal, part of the budget it will release next week, as a compromise with Congressional Republicans that could have put them on track for another run at a grand bargain.
Story Continued Below
But Boehner said he will not consider new revenues as part of the deal, arguing that "modest" entitlement savings should not "be held hostage for more tax hikes."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama to return 5 percent of his pay to Treasury)
The budget proposal sets Obama up for major fights on his right and left. Republicans will not accept any new tax revenues and liberal Democrats have already signaled they will resist any cuts to Social Security and other entitlement programs that Obama is proposing.
The White House says the budget proposal would reduce the deficit by $1.8 trillion over 10 years, but it assumes the elimination of the sequester, which would otherwise account for $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction.
Already, Obama's budget proposal goes farther than many in his own party and base said they would bear by including "chained CPI," the adjustment that would over time reduce cost-of-living increases to Social Security and other federal benefit programs — effectively, a cut to Social Security benefits by tying them to inflation.
It's the $9 billion in new tax revenue by setting limits on "tax-preferred retirement accounts for millionaires and billionaires" that Boehner is rejecting.
And Obama is already facing a backlash from liberal Democrats as he has floated the chained CPI idea. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said Friday that any Social Security cuts are a no-go for him.
"While there are large portions of the president's budget that I strongly support, I remain firmly opposed to the chained CPI," Harkin said. "This policy is an unnecessary attack on Social Security, a program that by law is unable to add to the deficit."
At a lunch with Senate Democrats last month, Harkin and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) pressed Obama to take chained CPI off the table, arguing that Social Security doesn't actually contribute to the deficit — since it's walled off from the federal budget — and there are other ways to keep the government solvent.
To finance new spending programs proposed in his State of the Union address, Obama's budget calls for new cigarette taxes and closing a loophole that now allows people to collect unemployment insurance and disability insurance simultaneously.
A senior administration official said Friday morning that Obama's budget would include $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction – the offer the president has previously made to Boehner —and won't add to the federal deficit.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Conference play begins for the Tennessee Tech men's basketball team Saturday with a match-up against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks. The game marks the fifth and final game in a brutal five-game road stretch for the Golden Eagles as they look to move back above the .500 mark.
Tennessee Tech (6-6, 0-0)
Jacksonville State (8-3, 0-0)
Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012 / 4:30 p.m. CST
Pete Mathews Coliseum – Jacksonville, Ala.
The Broadcasts
Television - none
Radio: Fox Sports Radio, 106.1 The Eagle (Roger Ealey)
Webcast: Live on the OVC Digital Network
Setting the Stage
Although this series dates back to 1937-38, the first meeting between the Golden Eagles and Gamecocks, only four of the 21 matchups occurred before JSU's arrival to the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003. Tech won all four meetings prior to
Jacksonville State's inaugural season in the OVC.
The Golden Eagles own a 13-9 advantage in the series, winning the first meeting in 1937-38 by a score of 28-27. Over the past 10 meetings, Tech owns a 6-4 advantage, with all but three of the games decided by single digits.
Only four of the previous 10 meetings between the two programs have taken place in Cookeville, and the Golden Eagles have taken advantage of the home court opportunitites. TTU has won three of its four home games against Jax State in the last 10 meetings.
Tech exacted some revenge in the last meeting against Jacksonville State, winning in Jacksonville 76-68. The win came after a controversial home loss against the Gamecocks earlier in the year that saw JSU walk away with a 63-62 victory.
Former Golden Eagle Kevin Murphy and current Tech senior guard Jud Dillard put up big numbers against the Gamecocks in the last meeting, scoring 23 and 26 points, respectively. Dillard also added 12 rebounds in the game, accounting for one of his eight double-doubles in the 2011-12 season.
Four Gamecocks' players are currently averaging double digit scoring efforts every game. The team is led by sophomore guard Darion Rackley, who scores 13.7 points per game.
Also adding at least 10 points per contest to the mix for JSU are seniors Tarvin Gaines and Ronnie Boggs. A forward from West Memphis, Ark., Gaines is putting up 12.3 points per game. Boggs, a guard that also averages 6.5 rebounds per contest, is adding 11.0 points every time out.
Junior guard Brian Williams rounds out the group of double digit scorers with 10.5 points per game.
While Jax State boasts its scorers, the team is recognized for its defense this season, owning the best scoring defense in the Ohio Valley Conference and ranking in the top 60 in Division I basketball. The Gamecocks allow just 59.5 points per game.
Tech will look to get back to its winning ways and avoid dropping below the .500 mark for the first time this season. The match-up marks the fifth and final game in a five-game road stretch for the Golden Eagles that began Dec. 8 at Gardner-Webb. While TTU is just 1-3 during the first four games, it still sits at 6-6 on the season after wrapping up its non-conference schedule at Oklahoma State Dec. 22.
Senior guard Jud Dillard will look to keep up his strong scoring effort after three straight games of 18 points or better. A native of Atlanta, Ga., Dillard ranks second in the OVC with 18.9 points per game.
Fans can tune in to 106.1 TheEagle to listen to live coverage of Tech's contest against the Gamecocks on Saturday. Radio coverage will begin approximately 15 minutes prior to the 4:30 p.m. CST tip-off time. Fans can also view the live game feed on the OVC Digital Network, the Ohio Valley Conference's live webstream for free here.

Intrusion! Intrusion!
By Mrs. Singy
Thank goodness the Yankees were visiting Baltimore the night before Orioles' Opening Day because our house alarm sounded at precisely 2:54 a.m., causing Ken and I to jump out of bed faster than two volunteer firefighters.
It doesn't exactly help our fight-or-flight mode when the robotic voice on our system barks insistently, "INTRUSION! INTRUSION!" followed by a shrill BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, and then repeats the announcement over and over until we disarm it. Scary, because until we know exactly what set off the alarm, we imagine an intruder breaking in, and we feel extremely vulnerable (kind of how the Orioles feel when the Yankees are in town).
The dog begins wailing as the noise pierces his sensitive Rottie ears; the kids dash out of their rooms terrified out of their sleepy wits; and simultaneously, the phone jingles (the security company asks if we want the police dispatched) – all before we have rubbed the sleep from our eyes and can think coherently.
I whistle for the pooch to lead the way into the basement where the alarm system has indicated a point of disturbance, first pushing along Ken. (He's bigger than me, and hopefully more muscular than the imaginary prowler.)
If the alarm goes off when he's on the road with the Yankees, unfortunately I have to be the brave adult in the house; yet truthfully, it makes me a basket case to have to investigate. It's happened – ask our neighbor Tommy who has received my 2 a.m. scaredy-cat call when a tray table mysteriously fell over loudly and tripped the alarm.
Years ago when former Oriole Al Bumbry was our neighbor, he came to Mrs. Singy's rescue when the house alarm sounded. He found nothing but me shaking in my slippers, and offered to sleep on the couch the remainder of the night.
Ballplayers are so brave.
Announcers, too. So … Ken checks the basement slider, all is intact, and we figure the wind tripped the alarm. We return to slumber, however, mine does not come easily as I imagine all the nights Ken will be sleeping in hotels instead of in our room. Already I have the heebie-jeebies.
Couldn't the Yankees play in Baltimore more often? After all, the Orioles are used to New York's intrusions.

Rottweilers are a good guard dog to have. Thats scary!

In a song lyric, the exact phrasing of which we can't repeat here, West once inquired as to whether listeners have had romantic inclinations toward a Pharaoh. Well, we all know what's under that tough, 24-karat-gold exterior: a well-rested mummy, limping around and moaning "Haaaaaanh?!" between witty verses.
Start with a handy, Halloween-themed Morphsuit (toilet paper will suffice in a pinch, and you can prank your neighbor's house with the leftovers). Layer on all-black biker gear—it's safe to say Kanye and co. have transitioned out of the prep phase and into a goth-ninja motif. Finish with a back pain-inducing chain in the likeness of an Egyptian god, and you're ready to hit tonight's Halloween parties. Lambo optional—but try not to pull up in a Taurus.

Homeschool athletes can participate in homeschool and recreational leagues around the country, as well as some private school leagues. One of the biggest debates in the past several years, however, has been whether or not to allow homeschoolers equal access to public school sports leagues.
Summary of state laws >>
(requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Do Homeschoolers Have Equal Access to Public School Sports?
Currently, 22 states give homeschoolers the right to some type of access to classes or sports. These include Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. Read more information about state laws on HSLDA's legal summaries pages.1
Homeschooler participation in public school activities is usually subject to certain requirements, which are often part of the school's policy and the state high school athletic association's bylaws. Although specific requirements vary from state to state, they generally include: 1) being in compliance with the state homeschool law, 2) meeting the same eligibility requirements (residence, age, etc.) as public school students, and 3) submitting verification that the student is passing his or her core subjects. Consequently, the homeschooler may have to provide additional information, such as achievement test scores or periodic academic reports, even if the state's homeschool statute does not otherwise require them.
In states that do not have a specific statute or regulation mandating equal access, individual schools and school districts have the authority to determine whether homeschoolers can participate in public school activities. Policies often vary from district to district. In some cases, districts that would like to allow access are restricted from doing so by the high school athletic association's bylaws.
What Do the Courts Say?
Various parties have litigated to allow private and homeschool students equal access to public school sports. Some of the constitutional arguments used include:
1) Refusing non-public students access to part-time classes denies them due process in their property interest in the free public education provided for by state constitutions;
2) Non-public school students excluded from part-time activities are unjustifiably discriminated against, denying these students their right to equal protection under the law;
3) If a student is not enrolled in public school because of a sincere religious belief, his right to the free exercise of his religious beliefs is burdened by the prohibition of access to public school activities.
The courts have routinely struck down these constitutional claims, saying that a district's refusal to allow part-time access does not violate any constitutional rights and that the school districts have the right to set eligibility requirements for participation in their own activities. Most courts have held that public school administrators have a rational basis for not accepting non-students, due to limited resources, fair competition, and control over activities for which administrators are responsible.2 One of the main concerns is the state's basis for upholding a certain academic standard for all students participating in athletics.3 Homeschoolers thus have two options: 1) petition their local school districts for access, or 2) petition state legislatures to open schools to homeschool access (the latter tends to meet with greater success).4
What are the Cons of Equal Access?
Many public school officials oppose giving homeschoolers equal access to sports for various reasons, including:
1) Allowing homeschool students to play sports would shortchange the public school students who work hard for grades. As one Virginia high school league said, homeschoolers would be "playing by a different set of rules."
2) Homeschoolers might crowd out public schools students.
3) Homeschoolers have chosen to opt out of the public education system, which also entails forgoing certain privileges.5
Some homeschoolers often oppose equal access as well. They argue that:
1) Government services always come with strings attached. Homeschoolers should not accept government services such as public school sports unless they are willing to be subject to governmental requirements.
2) Paying taxes that support government programs does not automatically give homeschoolers the right to participate in these programs, i.e. adults with no children also pay to support schools.
What are the Arguments for Participation?
Those in favor of equal access tend to advance one or more of the following arguments:
1) Homeschool families pay the taxes that fund public schools. Just as it is unacceptable to exclude homeschoolers from publicly funded areas such as libraries, hospitals, and parks, so it is unacceptable to exclude homeschoolers from public school programs.
2) Increasing access to sports will increase the number of people who will pursue home education.
3) Homeschool students should not be denied the economic and career advantages available to public school students if homeschoolers meet the same qualifications.
4) Parents should be allowed to choose public school activities if it is best for their children.
Homeschoolers who are interested in participation in public school activities should check their state statutes and contact their state athletic association to see if equal access laws apply to them. If you live in a state that does not allow homeschoolers equal access, we encourage you to investigate some of the homeschool and recreational sports leagues that exist around the nation.

Preparing to Dye Wool Yarn a Solid Color
Immersion dyeing is traditionally used to dye fibers solid colors. Successful immersion dye baths rely in part on using stock pots (either stainless steel or unchipped enamel) large enough to accommodate the weight of fiber.
Dye pots of adequate size ensure even temperature and dye distribution. In general a 20-quart pot will comfortably dye 8 ounces (227g) of fiber. A 40-quart for will handle 1 pound (454g) of fiber without crowding. Wider pots work better than deeper pots. They allow the fiber to float horizontally, avoiding contact with the bottom of the pot.
Make sure the size of your burner and dye pot are compatible to avoid the danger of a tipping dye pot.
Long-handled spoons, tongs, or dowels are useful for manipulating the fiber in the dye bath.
Prepare your dye solutions in advance. Unless otherwise noted, dye solutions work best when used at room temperature.
When immersion dyeing, you will be working over a simmering pot of hot water. Use an exhaust fan and wear a dual cartridge respirator mask to avoid inhaling the vapors from the dye pot. Safety glasses will protect your eyes from splashes. Wear insulated gloves to protect your hands from steam and hot water.
Always follow the product manufacturer's usage guidelines.
Many factors come into play in the process of hand-dyeing solid-shade yarn. You must use a pot large enough to allow for sufficient circulation of the dye liquor (the liquid of the dye bath) and even temperature distribution. Careful measuring of materials, continuous monitoring of temperature, and manipulating the fibers in the dye bath throughout the process contribute to reaching an even shade.
To dye 1 pound (454g) of wool yarn using WashFast acid dye, you need the following supplies.
4 four-ounce skeins (454g) of wool yarn prepared for dyeing
WashFast dye Teal 495, 2 cups (500ml) of a 1% solution
1 tablespoon (15g) Glauber salt
1 teaspoon (5ml) Synthrapol
1 tablespoon (15g) citric acid crystals or 11 tablespoons (165ml) white vinegar
40-quart stainless steel or enamel stock pot
Long-handled spoon or wooden dowel
You need at least three figure-8 ties to keep the skeins from tangling. Looping a shoestring leash through the skeins makes handling them easier.
In the beginning, it is easiest to work with skeins that are a manageable size of approximately 250 yards with a 2-yard circumference.
You need a skein winder or an umbrella swift and a yardage counter, if you wish to know the exact yardage of the skein before dyeing. Keep in mind there will be fiber shrinkage during the dye process. A skein may decrease in yardage (but not necessarily in weight) during dyeing. The amount of shrinkage depends on the type of fiber. You will also need scissors and thin cotton string for making ties.
Clamp the skein winder or umbrella swift to one end of a work table. Extend the arms of the winder (or the ribs of the swift) to a circumference of approximately 2 yards.
Position the yardage counter at least 18 inches away from the winder and clamp it to the table.
Placing the cone of yarn on the floor to the right of the yardage counter, feed the yarn through the guides on the counter. Be sure to set the counter to zero before winding.
Tie the yarn to the end of one arm of the skein winder (or fasten to one rib of the swift).
When you turn the handle of the winder or spin the swift, the yarn will run through the counter and onto the winder. Stop when you have reached your desired yardage, but stop in a place where both ends of the skein meet.
To secure the skein, take one end and wrap it around the entire bundle of yarn. Then bring the end through the loop you have just created. Do the same with the other end. Then join both ends with a secure knot. When securing both ends of the skein, wrap the skein loosely to prevent forming a resist.
Take a 6-inch piece of string and, dividing the bundle of yarn in half, wrap the string around the yarn bundle. Crisscross the ends of the string and wrap around the second bundle of yarn. While keeping this figure-8 wrap loose, tie a secure knot.
A loose figure-8 tie will allow the dye to flow freely through the yarn strands while keeping the skein in order. Put at least three loose figure-8 ties in the skein.
Soak the skeins for 30 minutes in a sink or basin filled with warm water and 1⁄2 teaspoon Synthrapol.
This removes any dirt or spinning oil used in the yarn's processing and opens up the fibers so that the wool will more easily accept the dye molecules.

I am sorry you are still under the weather. I just learned of an intriguing remedy. As I am sick as well, I am trying to decide if I am brave enough to try it. Chop and boil one lemon, one grapefruit and one onion. Ideally, they should simmer for at least one hour. Drink the broth. It's weird enough that it might totally work. I love love love the cutlery ghosts!

Santa Clara
Head Coach Jerry Smith
Opening Statement
"I'd like to congratulate Michigan on a great year and a great match today. Like our last match against Nebraska, they gave us a very tough match, but I'm very proud of my team. We did a lot of things right today. We reached another one of our goals for the season, to reach the College Cup. We feel like we're peaking at the right time of year. We've certainly come a long way from the beginning of the season when we lost to Stanford 3-0 in our opening match. There's a lot to be said for peaking at the right time and our team is doing that.
On Veronica Zepeda
"Veronica is one of the cleverest dribblers in college soccer. If teams have never played against dribblers like her or Aly, they're very surprised. One of things we talked about was that Michigan had good size in their back four and we need to try and keep the ball on the ground. We felt although our players were a little smaller, we were a little quicker and more agile. I though Veronica's goal was a perfect example of quickness, cleverness, and overcoming bigger, stronger players."
On Michigan's goal
"They kept the game tight the whole time and after we scored our third goal, we might have relaxed a little bit and they pumped that one in on us. And that can happen anytime."
On North Carolina
"We've had a lot of great matches against North Carolina in our history. We've been fortunate to win our last two matches against them. North Carolina is still the program to beat. They're not the number one seed, but everybody knows they're the team to beat."
Senior Midfielder Aly Wagner
On the Broncos scoring twice in just over two minutes
"One thing we focus on is that five-minute period after a goal is scored, to really focus on keeping the ball in your half and taking advantage and capitalizing on opportunities.
On returning to the College Cup
"I'm really excited. Like coach said, that was our goal and we achieved it. The College Cup is an amazing event and it's something you want to go out in-one way or another-as a senior. I'm looking forward to it and I think our team is ready for the challenge. We've proven that we're pretty strong mentally, and physically as well."
Senior Midfielder Devvyn Hawkins
On her goal
"It was a perfect hit ball, and I just put my head on it and redirected the ball.
Junior Midfielder Veronica Zepeda
On her goal
"Last week, I had a couple of shots outside the box and we wanted to minimize that this week. This week in practice we focused on taking the extra touch before taking the shot. That's what I did. I was actually about to shoot the ball, and through my head, it kept running 'don't take a shot yet,' so I tried to get a little bit closer, and it worked."
Head Coach Debbie Rademacher
On the game
"They were a good team and I thought we really fought until the end. They moved their defenders forward which forced our forwards to move up with them and then when you're coming back and trying to hold the ball against their defense with only one forward that makes it tough. I think that was the key for them."
On playing against Santa Clara's three forward line up
"We don't play a three-front defense typically, but we knew that we had to mark their three center midfielders. So we gave our outside midfielders the responsibility having to play both ends of the field. That's really the only way we could have done it.
On Abby Crumpton's injury in the first half
"Well, she sprained her ankle and we wanted to test her out at the beginning of the second half to see what she could give, and she really couldn't give anything."
On taking a step forward as a program
"We definitely did. We started off really strong and had a few bumps along the way, but I think that really helped us prepare for the tournament. We have a very big senior class, a lot of experience there, and I think that is what helped us through the first three rounds."
On next season
"We have a strong class coming in and a strong supporting cast. This is the best experience the underclassmen have had. Like I've said, we've lost big senior classes before and the rest of the team has stepped it up; they've been mentored. Every team goes in a cycle, we'll certainly have a different team next year than the one this year, but they'll find their identity but they've certainly learned from a great group."
On Santa Clara
"They always play the same style. They want to play an attractive, possession-style of soccer and they do that year after year. Certainly they have a lot of experience whether they have seniors or not. They're a pretty similar team to the team they had last year in the championship."
Senior Carly Williamson
On Santa Clara's strengths
"Their vision was incredible. Their ability to pass and hold onto the ball was really strong. They were really able to exploit the width of the field and use their playmaking ability. Aly Wagner is a great player, but their whole team was tough today. They were ball-winners and could really hold onto the ball after winning it."
Senior Andrea Kayal
On Santa Clara's two quick goals
"Obviously when a team scores against you, you want to come back right away with intensity. I don't think that we were lacking it, however I think that scoring made them more focused on getting another one and really got them going."

As long as there has been pro football, there have probably been fan superstitions. Like there was probably some Canton Bulldogs fan in the 1920s who refused to take off his trilby hat for two years as the Bulldogs went undefeated through the 1922 and 1923 seasons (seriously, nobody ever tell Mercury Morris the fact there was a previously unbeaten team, he would freak out).
I, for instance, ate at the same Del Taco and walked out of the same gate at Angel Stadium during the 2002 World Series. You might think that's weird, but the Angels won it all, right?
In any event, I reached out to you via Twitter (this is why you should follow me) to get some of your superstitions and rituals. And you didn't disappoint. Here are some of my favorites.
And without further ado ...
@adamrank I have lots. For one, dirty Packer laundry must be at the top of the basket. #NFLSuperstitions- Sarah Peters @indiesarah January 16, 2013
Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.
@adamrank I eat pretzels when the giants need a big play and even gave @4stillRunning some! #NFLSuperstitions pic.twitter.com/es6QqyVh- Devin Holmes (@dholmes9294) January 16, 2013
Did he say, "These pretzels are making me thirsty?
@adamrank kiss all favorite team memorabilia #NFLSuperstitions- Jermaine Ford @unstoppable_J January 16, 2013
Just make sure its clean.
@adamrank line up my miniature helmets facing off in front of the tv. They're from when I was a kid. #NFLSuperstitions pic.twitter.com/PE1qZarJ- R.J. Ochoa @rjochoa January 16, 2013
Seems perfectly natural.
@adamrank @nfl I got a Pats jersey for Xmas 07. Wore it first time for Superbowl. We lost. We've lost the four other times I wore it.- Graeme McNeely @ginjaninja78 January 16, 2013
That jersey is gone now, right?
@nflnetwork @adamrank @nfl I always where the jersey of a team the chargers play to jinx Them. whoever I root for usualy lose even da bolts.- Trey Payne @king_alstott January 16, 2013
Uh yeah, stop wearing the Chargers jersey already.
@adamrank I'm not allowed to buy/wear an NFL jersey. I'm a curse. players get traded, hurt, or die. seriously. 6 for 6. #nflsuperstitions- Amy Hughes @amyleehughes January 16, 2013
Wait, who is your team? I might need to buy you a Peyton Manning jersey. Oh wait, you must already own one.

THE DAY REPLAYED – The four teams in action in Thursday's two quarter-finals saved the best till last, with Korea DPR scoring twice in the closing minutes to end Canada's run and France holding their nerve in a penalty shoot-out to see off Nigeria.
The North Koreans checked into the last four of the competition for the third time in a row after grinding out a 2-1 win over the resolute Canadians. Meanwhile, the French booked their first semi-final slot in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, the only FIFA women's tournament in which they had never gone past the group phase before.
It was a close-run thing for Les Bleuettes, however. After a goalless 90 minutes the French erased memories of their shoot-out defeat to Germany in the final of the UEFA European Women's U-17 Championship by downing the Nigerians 5-3 on spot-kicks.
Korea DPR 2-1 Canada
Nigeria 0-0 France (France win 5-3 on penalties)
Goal of the day
Korea DPR 1-0 Canada, Ri Un Sim 78
The North Koreans must have been wondering if they could ever break down the Canadian rearguard, when Ri Hyang-Sim skipped past Larisa Staub on the right and crossed the ball to the far post. Waiting there was none other than their main goal threat Ri Un-Sim, who had all the time and space she needed to plant a firm header into the back of the net and set her side on the road to victory.
Memorable moments
No surprises
Having won the inaugural tournament in New Zealand in 2008 and finished fourth at Trinidad and Tobago 2010, it came as no surprise to see Korea DPR win through to another FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup semi-final, especially with a born goalscorer like Un-Sim in their ranks. Against Canada the No10 kept up her record of scoring in every game so far at Azerbaijan 2012, pulling alongside Nigeria's Chinwendu Ihezuo as the tournament's leading markswoman with seven goals - just one shy of the all-time record set by Korea Republic's Yeo Minji two years ago.
Talking your lingo
Nigeria's supporters used their language skills to get the locals on their side at the 8 km Stadium, chanting "One more" in Azeri after their side put the ball in the back of the net in the first half against France, albeit after the assistant referee had flagged for offside. Suitably impressed, the locals lent their vocal support to the Flamingoes, though their efforts were in vain, the game remaining goalless in normal time.
Bruneau's majestic return
After watching from the sidelines as France conceded a couple of sloppy goals in their 10-2 group-phase romp against Gambia, Bleuettes custodian Romane Bruneau returned to provide some much-needed stability, turning in a supremely confident performance against the Nigerians. A commanding presence in her box, she dealt with every cross that came her way, marshalled her defence with aplomb and pulled off a superb save when Flamingo dangerwoman Ihezuo found herself through on goal.
Consistency not enough for Canucks
Canada have been nothing if not consistent at Azerbaijan 2012. While the North Americans were perhaps the least attack-minded of the eight quarter-finalists, they did find the back of the net in each of their three matches in Group A, each of them coming in the second half, a sequence they maintained against Korea DPR. Yet, having drawn 1-1 with Nigeria and beaten Colombia and Azerbaijan by 1-0 scorelines, the Canucks found that a solitary goal was not enough for them to shake off the determined Asians.
The stat
2 - The red card Nigeria captain Victoria Aidelomon received 74 minutes into her side's game with France - for her second bookable offence of the match - was only the second dismissal of Azerbaijan 2012. Uruguay's Gabriela Gonzales picked up the first in their group match with China.
The quote
"It's heart-breaking because we gave it our all and we expected to succeed, but soccer's soccer at the end of the day." Ashley Lawrence, Canada captain
