1. Miles' psychologist. I love her so much, I could almost make out with her. (Okay- not really because, ya' know- I'm not into kissing girls, but I do so love her a lot.) She GETS it. She knows her stuff about RAD and trauma and she sees right through Miles' utter charm and attention seeking behaviors and gets to the issues. She's practical and she reiterates to Miles about every 30 seconds that mom rocks and we need to love on mom. Of course she uses all kinds of therapeutic approaches to this- but let it just suffice to say that she makes me feel like a rock star instead of the piece of doodie that our attachment challenged kids can sometimes make us feel like. She is a HUGE treasure. So glad we have her on Miles' therapy team.
2. Fall wardrobe updates. I haven't had anything in my wardrobe updated in forever. Actually, I take that back. I do get new Spanx every time I feel the elastic start to break down in the old ones. Because dude- if you haven't already picked up on it- I LOVE me some Spanx. Okay- so here is my favorite thing that I added to my closet this fall:
I picked up this cardigan at Target and I may just wear it every single day because it matches everything and is the only trendy thing I own. (How bad is it the the trendiest thing I own is a cardigan. Uggh. )I tried to take a picture of myself wearing it, but I just had this really dorky "I'm standing here smiling waiting for the self timer to go off" kind of look on my face, so I decided to show the model wearing it. She's probably wearing an extra-small. I snagged a large because I have boobs and muffin tops and those kinds of things don't fit in an extra small.
3. Current Favorite Foods: Kettle Chips (yum) Candy Corn (double yum) and my Mamaw's homemade banana bread. It is the bomb diggity. If I can wrangle up my Mamaw's permission, I'll ask if I can post her top secret banana bread recipe so that you can make some this weekend. It just tastes like fall.
4. Favorite Blog Quote of the Week: "Nobody loves you better because you used yourself up." (Taken from this post on the BlogHer page.)
5. Gal Pals: The ones I have in real life and my "virtual" ones. Right now I am having the best time ever watching the emails fly back and forth between the 14 women going on our retreat in 3 short weeks. It is like an instant little community. So much stinkin' fun!
6. Current Favorite Blogs
Money Saving Mom- tips and tricks to score major freebies and deep discounts. Yesterday I was able to get a free, no strings attached 6 months subscription to the Wall Street Journal because of her tips. Score!
Our Little Tongginator- adoptive mama. great writer. And she says y'all (A LOT) so she's a gal after my own heart!)
Amazima- an amazing 20-something living in Uganda and being the hands and feet of Christ to the people there. This woman is truly one of the most inspiring people I've ever read about.
7. Music- Our 4:30 in the afternoon dance party playlist has consisted of lots of Black Eyed Peas, old school Willie Nelson, and Lady Gaga. I know that I am way too old to be enamoured with a pop star, but I think that Lady Gaga is just the coolest thing to walk the planet since Britney Spears. Gaga is coming to a town really close to us in the spring. Is it really bad that I'd just about give my left lug nut to go?
8. TV I can't live without this fall: Modern Family, GLEE, The Office and the old standby- Grey's Anatomy. I am also currently hooked on old reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. I find that the longer I've been married, the funnier that show gets. I also throw in an episode of "Little House on the Prairie" every now and then because my husband says I'm grandma-ish like that.
9. Favorite Guilty Pleasure: Benadryl for the kids at the first sign of a bad
10. Antidepressants! Dude- I feel like myself again. Can I get an Amen!

By Noel Randewich
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Results from the U.S.
Thanksgiving weekend look encouraging for PC sales although it's
too early to made predictions about the entire holiday shopping
season, and the PC industry still faces long-term problems, the
CEO of chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said.
The growing popularity of Apple's iPad and other
tablets have sapped demand for PCs, and with economic growth
slowing in China and struggling in Europe and the United States,
global shipments are expected to decline slightly this year, the
first annual drop since 2001.
"We've seen some positive news out of Black Friday over the
past several days," AMD Chief Executive Rory Read told investors
at a conference in Scottsdale, Arizona on Tuesday. "Our
performance over that period looked reasonably well but I think
it's a little early to call the holiday season."
Read reiterated that he does not expect the PC market, which
accounts for about 85 percent of AMD's business, to recover for
several quarters.
Manufacturers have been betting Microsoft's
long-awaited launch of its Windows 8 platform in October will
help drive PC sales this holiday season. But Read said the
operating system's release came at an awkward time and held up
inventories going into September, when manufacturers are
normally busy building PCs for the holiday season.
One of Silicon Valley's oldest chipmakers, AMD has been
laying off engineers while looking for new markets for its chips
as it faces depleting cash reserves.
It has hired JPMorgan Chase & Co to explore its
options, although an outright sale of the company is not the
main option, according to sources.
Sales over the Thanksgiving weekend and the holidays in
general are closely watched by investors. U.S. retailers can
generate a third of their sales and up to half of their annual
profit in November and December.
Like its larger rival Intel, Sunnyvale,
California-based AMD was caught flat-footed in recent years with
the emergence and fast growth of mobile devices.
Shares of AMD were up 0.53 percent at $1.88.

I am creating a website and would like to allow users to create their own email forward.
Basically, the site will allow groups to create pages on the site, each of which will be able to have its own domain name.
I would like users to be able to automatically create an email address on the site that will forward any incoming emails to their own email account.
Right now I have to manually set these up in my hosting account control panel but I'm hoping there is a way to do this automatically.
Does anyone have experience with doing something similar?

I have been teaching myself java for fun. I found a site that gives assignments so I have been trying to teach myself by completing the programs assigned by the site. This assignment asked that I write a program asking the user to guess a random number. Anyways, this is like my 3rd day of teaching myself this stuff so I am basically feeling it out as I go. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? Or, perhaps more importantly, why this doesn't work? Any help would be appreciated.
The errors the program is giving me are all in the underlined line. They are:
-Syntax error on token 'while' delete this token.
-Syntax error on token 'boolean' delete
Things I have tried:
-I tried defining the booleans outside of the while loop.
-I tried writing in public static void main whatever (I don't fully understand what that code does yet but it semeed to impact the way the boolean instances interacted.)
Here is the code:
import java.io.*; public class pickanumber { int x = (int) ((Math.random()*10)+1) while [boolean rightguess1 = false]; { try { Reader instream = null; BufferedReader userguess = new BufferedReader (instream); System.out.println("Pick a whole number between 1 and 10"); String usguess = userguess.readLine(); int uguess1 = Integer.parseInt(usguess); if (!(uguess1==x)) { System.out.println("Try again"); boolean rightguess1 = false; } else { boolean rightguess1 = true; }} catch (IOException err) { System.out.println("Only whole numbers please"); } System.out.println("Nice job. The number was " + x); } }

Welcome back to a new semester here at the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. This semester's focus will be images and how to find them, how to use images in presentations and papers, formatting images, how to finesse powerpoints, and prezis. We will also post beautiful pictures of architecture, public spaces, smart growth, and historic preservation, along with some not so beautiful pictures as well.
Keep in mind that here at the school, you have access to an archive of slides, many of which are already digitized, and many of which are copyright accessible. They were taken by a traveling student or faculty member and can be used by students for presentations and papers under the Fair Use portion of copyright law.
Other sources of images include the world wide web, and I will be explaining how to focus your search so you don't end up with thousands of google images to sort through. In fact this website "How to Use Google Search More Effectively" will get you started with that. Lastly, the University has a subscription to various image databases, including Artstor, where I will be uploading archival materials from the School's collection of architecture, planning and preservation images. Like this one, for example:

PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure (Japanese: ポケパークWiiピカチュウの大冒険 Poké Park Wii Pikachu's Great Adventure) is a Pokémon game for Wii. It was released in Japan on December 5, 2009, in Europe on July 9, 2010, and in North America on November 1, 2010.
After Pikachu gets pushed in a hole and lands in another place, the player takes the form of a Pikachu and travels through many different minigame areas. In each of these games, working together with other Pokémon is required to succeed. Over the course of the game, more and more Pokémon will be befriended, and they will help the player in unrevealed areas of the game.
Several aspects of this game are repeated from previous games. The player acting as a Pokémon was previously used in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, and photography was the central feature of Pokémon Snap.

The player, acting as a Pikachu, must solve the crisis that has befallen the PokéPark. The PokéPark was protected by an item called the Sky Prism. But the Sky Prism shattered, and its pieces were spread all across the PokéPark. In order to save this magical place, the player will need to explore the PokéPark and collect all of the Sky Prism Pieces.
The player will explore various Zones within the PokéPark, each very different to the last: Beach Zone, Iceberg Zone, Lava Zone, Haunted Zone, Granite Zone, and the Flower Zone, along with the Sky Pavillion. Each Zone has various Attractions, which comprise the main challenges in the game.
As Pikachu befriends other Pokémon, some will become playable in different Attractions, opening up a wealth of possibilities to make strategic use of different Pokémon's specific strengths.
Many of these befriended Pokémon will challenge the player to a Skill Game, such as Hide-and-Seek and Chase – all games that will allow the player to build friendships with the challenger by defeating them.
PokéPark Pad
The PokéPark Pad provides access to an important game menu, it is received by Chatot at PokéPark's entrance. It allows the player to view the amount of berries Pikachu is currently holding, the amount of friends Pikachu has, the remaining Camera film, Pikachu's profile picture (chosen at the file selection screen) and allows access to three menus.
Pikachu's Stats
The first menu is named "Pikachu's Stats" and provides information about Pikachu's potential HP, Dash, Thunderbolt and Iron Tail stats. A full bar means that the stat is complete and can no longer be updated at the Meeting Place, whilst an empty bar means that Pikachu hasn't acquired the stat yet. The HP and Dash stats are learned by default at the beginning of the game.
Friend List
The friend list is a list of Pokémon which have became Pikachu's friends. Throughout the game Pikachu is able to befriend a total of 193 Pokémon, although some of these are only available in the Friend List via passwords and the the "Battle" Skill Game. Pokémon are not listed in National Dex number and are instead listed by the notation "P.", Chatot is the first available Pokémon to befriend, although not the first available "best friend". Many Pokémon, particularly those fought in battle have to be defeated twice to become a best friend, although other Pokémon such as those already seen in the introduction movie and Pokémon which require Pikachu to take a quiz to become friends are generally those which are initially regarded as best friends. Ordinary friends are denoted by an icon resembling a pink journal next to it friend's list number and best friends are denoted by an icon resembling a rainbow colored journal. Information about the friends can be read by selecting them via the 2 button. The A button allows players to toggle between alphabetical order and friend list order.
Save game
The save game option allows players to save the game, before prompting the player whether to continue the adventure. A save does not record the player's exact location but only the game map itself. Loading the save brings Pikachu to the map's default starting point.
PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventures features the ability to take pictures from the game similar to previous WiiWare games. This allows players to easily transfer photos from the game with friends and to record events of the adventure, although a total of 30 photographs can only be stored in game at a time. This feature is unlocked after speaking with Misdreavus after visiting the Misdreavus Shop. If the player takes a photograph of Misdreavus, services become available such as the ability to buy more film and allow space for up to 30 photographs for a price of a small amount of berries. Once speaking with Misdreavus, photographs can be taken via the minus button, later in game a Spearow informs Pikachu that a first person perspective is available by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen at pressing B.
Berries are the main currency in PokéPark, after saving Chikorita and meeting Venusaur they are required to enter the various attractions. Attractions accessible later in the game usually cost more berries, for example Bastiodon's Block Barrage at the cost of 20 berries and Bulbasaur's Daring Dash at the cost of just 5 berries. When Pikachu gains access to the Meeting Place; the centre of the park berries can be spent on powering up Pikachu's attacks and eventually teaching Pikachu the move Iron Tail where the tutor is Primeape who humorously does not have a tail. The maximum amount of berries Pikachu can collect is 9,999.
PokéPark contains a total of nine zones. These are managed by several zone keepers; such as Venusaur, Empoleon and Blaziken, whom also run their own attractions although initially refuse Pikachu and friends to join them because they are 'strangers' until conflict is resolved.
Meadow Zone
Meadow Zone is a "lush, nature-filled area" and is the location of the Bulbasaur's Daring Dash and Venusaur's Vine Swing attractions. Venusaur initially prohibits Pikachu and friends from participating in the Vine Swing because it is 'too dangerous' until Pikachu enlightens Venusaur by defeating his trusty guards Croagunk and Spearow in battle.
Meeting Center
The Meeting Center is the center of PokéPark, allowing access to all the other zones although these are guarded by other Pokémon in earlier gameplay. Players will eventually be able to update Pikachu's Thunderbolt, Hitpoints, Dash and Iron Tail here via Electabuzz, Ponyta. Bibarel and Primeape respectively for an increasing amount of berries depending on Pikachu's current skill in the stat. A stat can only be updated three times, costing 1000 and 1500 berries for the second and third training sessions.
Iceberg Zone
Warning: this section may contain spoilers.
The Iceberg Zone is where Empoleon resides. It is a "silvery, snow-covered island" and is the location of the Empoleon's Snow Slide attraction. Empoleon becomes upset by visitors and freezes the entrance so that Pikachu and friends cannot come in as to sharpen his "Steel Will". In the process he freezes Mamoswine at the other side of the Iceberg Zone's lake, acknowledging that Mamoswine may have the power to break the door open. Eventually Mamoswine is thawed out with the help of Pikachu along with Glalie and Froslass (who helped freeze the lake) so that Pikachu could travel across it and breaks into the entrance of the Empoleon's Snow Slide attraction.
Beach Zone
The Beach Zone is also managed by Empoleon, although is initially taken over by Gyarados whom wants to run the zone himself. It is the location of the Pelipper's Circle Circuit and Gyarados' Aqua Dash attractions, which are accessible in the process of solving the conflict.
Cavern Zone
The Cavern Zone is "a mine tunnel inside a mountain" and is accessible later in the game. Although it is managed by Blaziken, Bastiodon is responsible for his own Block Barrage attraction and freely allows Pikachu and friends to take part for 20 berries. It is the location of many common cave Pokémon such as Zubat and Geodude.
Lava Zone
The Lava Zone is "a scorching volcano district" managed by Blaziken. It is the location of the Rhyperior's Bumper Burn and Blaziken's Boulder Bash attractions.
Haunted Zone
The Haunted Zone is the home of many Ghost and Dark type Pokémon. Three Attractions are located here, including Tangrowth's Vine Swing, Dusknoir's Running Crash and Rotom's Pulse Shoot System.
Granite Zone
The Granite Zone is an abandoned castle home to the Absol's Hurdle Succession attraction, although to proceed through the area the player requires to tell Flygon three passwords, which are told by other Pokémon around the zone.
Sky Garden
The Sky Garden is the final zone, and the location of Salamence's Air Ace.
Flower Zone
The Flower Zone is the final zone and the home of Shaymin. Rayquaza also resides here and will eventually allow the player to take part in Rayquaza's Balloon Panic. This is the final attraction prior to game completion and when completed, Shaymin will transform into its Sky Forme and allow the player to access the Sky Garden.
Skill Games
Skill Game (Japanese: ちからくらべ Strength Trial) is the gameplay mode as Pokémon come to the PokéPark and participate in a variety of games where they can test their strength and battle skills. Pokémon can be unlocked in this adventure mode and can be played in various Attractions.
Chase is a game where participants have to capture or run away from the other Pokémon. In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure the minigame always involves Pikachu chasing and capturing (by dashing into it) another Pokémon within a certain time limit. Thunderbolt can be used to stun the fleeing Pokémon, especially Flying type Pokémon to make the chase easier but if the time limit runs out Pikachu loses. If Pikachu successfully captures the other Pokémon, it usually becomes Pikachu's friend. The same Pokémon has to be captured twice for it to become a 'best friend'.
Battles, unlike the main series of turn based Pokémon games involve Pikachu actively moving around the screen and attacking the opponent. Pikachu can deplete the opponent's health bar via a Dash attack, Thunderbolt strike or Iron Tail attack, although Ground type Pokémon such as Torterra are only momentarily stunned by Thunderbolt and are not harmed by the attack. Pikachu starts off with a HP bar of two segments, although it can be extended up to five segments by upgrading the Hitpoints stat by training with Bibarel at the Meeting Place for a large amount of berries.
Hide-and-Seek is a game where participants have to locate or hide from the other Pokémon however, PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure only involves Pikachu having to locate the opponent within a certain time limit. If Pikachu is approaching the Pokémon it's voice can be heard, suggesting that it is close-by. Similarly, if Pikachu is traveling a long distance away from the Pokémon the game will inform the player that they are going in the wrong direction. If Pikachu manages to locate the Pokémon it usually becomes one of his 'best friends' immediately, without the need of taking part in the same Skill Game again.
A few Pokémon when spoken to, such as Corsola and Delibird will choose to ask the player whether they want to participate in a quiz. Three multiple choice questions are asked with three choices for every question. There is no time limit, although if the player gets one question wrong Pikachu will have to take the quiz again, often with different questions. If every answer was correct, the Pokémon becomes one of Pikachu's 'best friends'.
Obstacle Hop
The Obtacle Hop is less common and is only run by a few Pokémon such as a Spearow in Meadow Zone, a Machamp in Cavern Zone and eventually Mew at the end of main storyline. The minigame involves Pikachu jumping from different obstacles with the aim of reaching the opponent within a certain time limit. Falling is allowed, although this will deplete time and send Pikachu back to the first obstacle. Later in the game, opponents may also throw obstacles such as boulders in the direction of Pikachu.
Each Attraction is a mini-game designed to test the player's skills. A Sky Prism Piece is awarded to the player by beating the high score in an Attraction. Players must clear each Zone's attractions to make progress in their adventure.
Blaziken's Boulder Bash
In Blaziken's Boulder Bash (Japanese: バシャーモのパンチングロックス Bursyamo's Punching Rock), players must swing the Wii remote to smash or deflect the rocks shot at them, depending on the timing of the swing. The rocks fly faster as the game progresses and are shot by a giant machine which appears to be controlled by Blaziken (unless the player is playing as this Pokémon) and Golem. If the Pokémon is hit by a rock, the player must shake the Wii remote for it to recover. Points are awarded for the timing of the attack and the number of times the Pokémon destroys a rock in a row. 100 points are awarded if the blow is not completely in time; 300 points are awarded for excellent timing. The points are multiplied by the number of times the Pokémon hits a rock in a row (once is worth 100 or 300 points, twice in a row is worth 200 or 600, three times is worth 300 or 900, etc). The maximum score is 48,000 and the best Pokémon to play as is Groudon.
Empoleon's Snow Slide
In Empoleon's Snow Slide (Japanese: エンペルトのスノースライダー Emperte's Snow Slider), players must guide the Pokémon around a course of snow, tilting the Wii remote to turn. There are speed boosts which may help the player, but they can also make it difficult to get around corners. The Pokémon will slow down if it hits a wall or obstacle. The fastest Pokémon in this attraction is Suicune.
Dusknoir's Speed Slam
Dusknoir's Speed Slam (Japanese: ヨノワールのクラッシュランニング Yonoir's Running Crash) uses the same aim as Bulbasaur's Daring Dash: to reach the end as fast as possible by shaking the Wii remote. However, the view of this six Pokémon race is different from Bulbasaur's attraction and there are obstacles that slow the Pokémon down when it hits them. There are two types of obstacles: stone walls, which will already be there at the start, and Spinarak, which come down attacthed to webs. The player must hit these obstacles unless they use certain Ghost-type Pokémon such as Gengar. The best Pokémon to play as in this attraction is Darkrai.
Bastiodon's Block Barrage
In Bastiodon's Block Barrage (Japanese: トリデプスのパネルクラッシュ Trideps' Panel Crash), players move the Pokémon across the bottom of the screen using the directional buttons on the Wii remote, to stop the ball from getting past. To get points the ball must hit wooden panels with numbers on them. Pressing the 2 button to hit the ball gives it power, which means it can get past Bastiodon, who moves side to side in front of the panels, and the many Dugtrio who pop up on the field. If an unpowered ball hits a Dugtrio from the front, it'll be deflected back towards the player. If it hits from behind, the Dugtrio may go underground and let the ball pass, or it might deflect the ball back to the panels to score more points. If a powered up ball (power shot) hits Bastiodon, he will become dizzy and will temporarily be disabled. If the player shoots the ball normally, the points will equal 100 times the number on the panel. If the player uses a power shot, the points will equal 200 times the number on the wooden panel. For example, hitting a 2 gets 200 points and hitting a 4 with a power shot gets 800 points. Hitting two panels at once will not get a bonus, it will just get both the scores. The highest possible score in this game is 99,999 and the best Pokémon to play as is Metagross.
Absol's Hurdle Bounce
Absol's Hurdle Bounce (Japanese: アブソルのつぎつぎハードル Absol's Hurdle Succession) uses the same aim as Bulbasaur's Daring Dash. However, the view of this attraction is different from that of Bulbasaur's and there are hurdles that the player must jump over by pressing the 2 button. If the Pokémon hits the hurdle or trips on it while jumping, it will cause the Pokémon to slow down. The best Pokémon to play as in this attraction is Shaymin, who will start off in its land forme but transforms into sky forme before it starts running.
Rhyperior's Bumper Burn
In Rhyperior's Bumper Burn (Japanese: ドサイドンのおしだしヒートアップ Dosaidon' Heat Up Fight), the player must tilt the Wii remote to bump as many Pokémon out of a circular stadium as you can in the given time limit to earn points. These are awarded for bumping Pokémon out of the stadium and deducted for your Pokémon being bumped out of the stadium. Pokémon can unleash a special attack by pressing the 2 button after collecting a power-boost. Some attacks will cause the Pokémon to spin rapidly; others will cause them to explode or unleash an elemental attack. The best Pokémon to play as in this attraction is Heatran.
Salamence's Air Ace
Salamence's Air Ace (Japanese: ボーマンダのスーパースカイレース Bohmander's Super Sky Race)
Bulbasaur's Daring Dash
In Bulbasaur's Daring Dash (Japanese: フシギダネのふりふりダッシュ Fushigidane's Foot Race), players move the Wii remote up and down to run as fast as they can.
Venusaur's Vine Swing
In Venusaur's Vine Swing (Japanese: フシギバナのスイングロープ Fushigibana's Rope Swinging), players swing the Wii remote to swing the vine. Pressing 2 releases the Pokémon, and how far it goes depends on the angle of release and the power of the swing.
Gyarados's Aqua Dash
In Gyarados' Aqua Dash (Japanese: ギャラドスのマリンスライダー Gyarados' Marine Slider), players hold 2 to propel the Pokémon forwards, while tilting the Wii remote to turn. Hitting a Carvanha or Sharpedo will slow them down, while hitting a speed boost will make them faster.
Pelipper's Circle Circuit
In Pelipper's Circle Circuit, players tilt the Wii remote to make the Pokémon move around the screen. They must fly through rings to get points.

- PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is not the first game to implement a password system, as a similar system (although hidden) was present in Pokémon Battle Revolution which would unlock the Heated Gift and the Shocking Gift.
- Some Pokémon are notably more aggressive when they're outside of battle, for example; Primeape will punch Pikachu away and charge into him immediately even if Pikachu simply dashes into them a single time. In contrast, Torterra are less easily provoked and will not attack, although get angry if Pikachu dashes into them.
- There appears to be a typo in the dialogue string ..."not so far away are your Empoleon?", prior to thawing the door to Empoleon's Snow Slide with the help of Mamoswine's charge attack, where it is presumable that "your" should have been replaced with "you" instead.
- A similar typo is found in the German version. When Munchlax thanks the player, "PokéPark" is misspelled as "ParkPoké" in the dialogue string.
- Similar to Hey You, Pikachu! and Pokémon Channel, this game features the anime voices rather than the game cries. Also, despite Porygon-Z never making an anime appearance, it receives a voice in this game as well.
- This is the first spin-off game to feature genders. Interesting enough, several Pokémon have the same gender as their anime counterparts as seen on several dialogue strings and descriptions.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A Sunwing flight from Halifax, Canada, to the Dominican Republic was forced to land in Bermuda when three passengers refused to stop smoking, officials said.
Sunwing flight 454 landed in Bermuda Friday night while heading to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Police met the plane at the airport, boarded the plane and arrested three passengers, officials said.
"It appeared to be a father, a mother and a son. The parents appear to be in their 50s. The son, I believe, is around 22 or so," said acting Inspector Paul Simons.
The family has been ordered not to leave Bermuda and their passports and travel documents have been seized by local police, CBC said.
Dave Shellington said his wife was on the plane and sent him text messages about the incident.
"They were smoking in the plane's washroom and when they came out they got into a little bit of an argument with the attendants. They couldn't say where they put their cigarette butts and that caused a bit of a commotion, I guess. From there it kind of escalated with the father, the mother and the son," said Shellington
Simons said the plane was grounded overnight and that passengers were put in hotels.
"The flight was also grounded so that a Canadian-trained mechanic could inspect the aircraft for undetermined reasons," Simons said.

The Flynn effect has always been tinged with mystery. First popularized by the political scientist James Flynn, the effect refers to the widespread increase in IQ scores over time. Some measures of intelligence — such as performance on Raven's Progressive Matrices in Des Moines and Scotland — have been increasing for at least 100 years. What's most peculiar is how scores have increased:
1) Scores have increased the most on the problem-solving portion of intelligence tests.
2) Verbal intelligence has remained relatively flat, while non-verbal scores continue to rise.
3) Performance gains have occurred across all age groups.
4) The rise in scores exists primarily on those tests with content that does not appear to be easily learned.

Caroline Vloka went 18-0 in the sabre, while Noam Mills was 14-0 in the epee.
The Crimson opened with a 22-5 victory over Sacred Heart, as Harvard swept all nine matches in the foil. Shelby MacLeod, Artemisha Goldfeder and Arielle Pensler each posted 3-0 marks against Sacred Heart in the foil. Vloka went 3-0 and Hayley Levitt was 2-1 in the sabre, helping the Crimson double up Sacred Heart, 6-3, in that weapon. Harvard also won the epee, 7-2, as Nadia Eldeib won all three of her matches and Mills boasted a 2-0 record. In round two, Harvard topped NYU, 24-3, as the Crimson claimed all nine matches in the sabre. Vloka, Levitt and Elena Helgiu each went 3-0 in the weapon. In the epee, Mills remained perfect on the day, winning all three matches, while Felicia Sun also enjoyed a 3-0 mark. Goldfeder continued Harvard's dominance in the foil, as she and MacLeod were 3-0 against NYU.
Harvard narrowly edged Penn State, 14-13, as the Crimson earned 5-4 wins in the epee and sabre. Once again, Mills had a perfect record in the epee, taking all three bouts. Vloka also continued her perfect performance in the sabre, winning all three matches, including the decisive bout. The Nittany Lions topped Harvard, 5-4, in the foil, despite two wins by MacLeod.
The Crimson then cruised to a 22-5 win over North Carolina, led by 7-2 wins by the sabre and foil squads and a 8-1 decision by the epee team. Vloka improved to 12-0 in the competition with three more victories, while Helgiu and Levitt claimed two victories each in the sabre. Mills grabbed her ninth, 10th and 11th wins in the epee against the Tar Heels, joining Eldeib with a perfect showing against North Carolina. In the foil, MacLeod was 3-0, while Podolsky went 2-1. In the sixth round, Harvard answered 5-4 defeats to Princeton in the foil and sabre with an 8-1 showing in the epee, clinching a 16-11 victory against its Ivy League rival. Mills concluded her perfect day by improving to 14-0 with three more wins, while Sun went 3-0 and Eldeib was 2-1 against the Tigers. Vloka, meanwhile, posted her fifth straight 3-0 performance in the sabre. Podolsky was Harvard's highlight in the foil against Princeton, going 2-1.
In the day's final competition, Vloka clinched a perfect 18-0 record at the Harvard Invitational by helping Harvard top Vassar, 21-6. The Crimson won all nine matches in the sabre, as Vloka, Levitt and Helgiu each went 3-0.

Washington (CNN) - Former Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel has met with both President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, as the president considers tapping him to replace Leon Panetta as defense secretary, according to several knowledgeable sources.
Several sources familiar with the process say Hagel appears to have the inside track for the job. CNN has previously reported Hagel is on the short list of potential nominees. One Democratic source familiar with the process simply dubs Hagel "the frontrunner." Another Democrat with knowledge of the process calls Hagel's nomination "almost a done deal." But according to an administration official, no decisions have been made.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
Reuters reported that Obama and Hagel met early last week.
Hagel, who serves as the co-chair of the president's Intelligence Advisory Board, is someone well-known to the president. He crossed party lines to endorse Obama for president in 2008, and traveled with him to Afghanistan and Iraq. He is also friendly with Biden because both men worked together on a variety of foreign policy issues when they served in the Senate.
Since leaving the Senate in 2009, Hagel has remained engaged in public policy. He now heads the nonpartisan Atlantic Council. But he is known as someone who supports "engagement" and "soft power." He opposed President George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq and was against the Bush administration's troop surge there in 2007.
Many Senate Republicans would no doubt raise questions about Hagel's foreign policy positions.
If nominated and confirmed, Hagel would be Obama's second Republican defense secretary. Bob Gates stayed on when Obama took office after having served in the role under Bush. If not nominated for the Pentagon, there is also a possibility that Hagel might be considered for another post.
Sources say others under consideration for the defense post include Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Michele Flournoy, who was previously a top Pentagon official.
Carter, who has helped oversee the Pentagon's recent belt tightening, would be viewed as well suited to lead the sprawling agency during a period of fiscal austerity. Flournoy would make history as the first woman ever to run the Pentagon.
Panetta has indicated he would like to return to private life in California in 2013.
Both sources also confirm, as CNN has previously reported, that current chief of staff Jack Lew is likely to be nominated as treasury secretary.
One knowledgeable source says that any changes at the staff level- or in the economic team- are likely to be put on hold until there is a clearer picture of the fate of the fiscal cliff negotiations.
The question of who will be asked to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton-and when-remains unanswered. One of the Democratic sources says the president remains a "very big Susan Rice fan," but also adds that "the longer he lets her (Rice) hang out there, the harder it is. The last week was not good for her."
Rice, the U.N. ambassador, traveled to Capitol Hill recently to meet with skeptical Republicans about her role in the controversy over the administration's public response to the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
The sessions seemed to do little to assuage their questions. One moderate Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, emerged from her session clearly unenthusiastic about a potential Rice nomination.
Both sources say that the question of Rice's future is very closely held, as is the question of the timing of any nomination. One knowledgeable source indicated some announcements on the foreign policy front could be made next week. Sources also caution that these nominations should be seen as part of a larger picture: As in a chess game, each move affects the next move.
For instance, there is a consideration of working relationships, the president's "comfort level, and issues like diversity. If Rice were not to be nominated as secretary of state, the top four Cabinet posts-attorney general, defense, treasury and state-would all be filled by men, if the State Department nod was given to Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) instead of Rice.
One of the knowledgeable sources says the White House is considering former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland or outgoing Washington state Gov. Christine Gregoire for the position of transportation secretary.
As long as he has America in the balance and not his party of NO
as long as he is qualified for the job, his political affiliation shouldn't matter
i don't think it would be a good idea to have republicans. the guy might be good, but the party appears to be corrupt and has issues.
Once someone is in a position like Secretary of Defense, you would hope that politics would go by the wayside and the safety of the country would come first. Hopefully, that will be true.
seems kind of odd that they keep shuffling the same people around.
don't worry – hagel is no republican...certainly no more than arlen specter was.
Colleen Powell for Sec. of defense/cia
Could be worse could be a Dem
So hes a democrat with a republican tag? LOL. Against the troop surge...which worked and Obama took credit for? Interesting. Sounds like a confused lackluster individual. Soft power? So we can expect more of our amassadors to be killed in the next 4 years?
Ann Romney Turkey Chili and "Banana Cheese Gas" - Obama feeling the heat from all sides - No place to run - Not even the Berkshires - NYSP-BCI very smart (wink)
Nice to see Dems & Repubs working together for a change!
I think that the issue of using Cabinet appointments to pursue diversity is overblown. After all, when was the last "white guy" to be Secretary of State?
Nominate the best person after a full and equal evaluation of qualifications. If it's Susan Rice, so be it. If it's "some white guy", so be it, as well.
We have not learned from mcnasty's HUGE mistake in 2008. It's not just any woman, after Hillary lost to Obama, but it's the person who can do the best job.
If a rethug can do a good job without taking us into more unnecessary wars then so be it.
Choose a current Republican Senator. Empty the seat! Play politics like the right does, ya bonehead!
Obama continues the Bushes' pro-Islamo-fascist terrorist militaristic policies.
Sounds like a good choice. No doubt Hagel would be dubbed a RINO as soon as he's nominated.
Chuck would be a good choice as secretary Of Defense His presense woulld add some well needed Intellegence & Common sense to this otherwise confused y Administration
Will be interesting to see/hear what the Repubs and Focks News reaction will be if this comes to pass...I think Obama should throw them a real curve on the Sec. Of State too...something like maybe nominating Colin Powell...The right would go nuts!!!....would be great to watch!
This would be a wonderful choice!
There are many things to commend such an appointment, but I fear Hagel isn't bright enough to do the job.

And Gretchen's kvetchin' just pure leaves me retchin'
My guts out, the bleached little elf.
They do love the season, but don't know the reason
Their holiday comes in December
It was stolen from Norse, and from Romans, of course,
But these "journalists" must not remember.
These pinheads demand, but the Puritans banned
The observance of Christmas, you know:
True Christians could see that a creche or a tree
Was improper, and really should go!
So Gretchen and Billo, go purchase some brillo
And use it to polish your brains
So that maybe next year we can live without fear
Of your ignorant, selfish refrains.
As part of that continuing saga, you may recall, the (horrible, deplorable, sacrilegious, whatever) sign that the atheists put up beside the creche… was stolen! And yes, I stole the melody.
They came upon a midnight clear
Unto the Olympia Square
The night disguised them while they took
The sign the godless put there:
"It is our wish this Solstice time
That reason should prevail"
With hardened hearts and minds enslaved
The thieves may land in jail.
Still, tis the season to forgive;
To turn the other cheek.
Let's hope they've learned their lesson if
It's wisdom that they seek:
"Be kind unto your fellow man;
Treat them as you'd have them treat you"
There's room for you in the public square
But only if others fit, too.
The right to different views is where
The strength of our nation abides
The First Amendment makes it clear
The government cannot take sides;
The tyranny of majority
May change with the whim of the day
And someday you may need it too–
Don't throw your rights away.
My last (I hope) comment on this particular silly nonsense. This year, at least:
The traditional creche, to my thinking, is fine;
I won't mess with theirs if they don't mess with mine.
Not even the one at my town's public square
So long as my own has an equal place there.
If you want the display to be yours, and yours only,
Then keep it at home; hope you like being lonely.
Or join with the rest of us–come and have fun,
If you want a real party… invite every one!
Another in the long line of back-and-forth regarding the Cinci Zoo and FantasyGodLand or whatever it was called…
I'm looking for some funding; gonna open up a zoo
With cages of creationists, all blithely flinging poo
They're much more fun than pandas–much more active in their cages
With a longer line on Sundays, when they all sing "Rock of Ages"
The children love to point and laugh–they say "Hey look! They're praying!"
And when they talk, you almost feel they know what they are saying
But clearly it's just gibberish, not language like a man's;
(It shows itself–in transcripts, it comes out in comic sans!)
And lastly (this time, anyway), a response to an editorial. This year is Darwin Year, but sadly, it seems that some of those who will speak at Darwin Year events are (gasp!) atheists! Why can't those militant atheists be more like, say, Darwin himself, and act like the second-class citizens they are? Won't somebody think of the children!
I thought I saw an atheist, who dared to speak aloud,
Who did not meekly bow his head–oh, no, this man was proud!
Who, rather than–like Darwin–hold his tongue and keep his place,
Demanded equal membership among the human race!
I thought I saw an atheist–a scientist, as well–
Who dared to mention Darwin in the stories he would tell!
Whose glib association with the noble Darwin name
Would tar it with comparison to atheistic shame!
I thought I saw an atheist who read what Darwin wrote,
Who did not have agenda or religion to promote,
Who, on this anniversary, will stand in line to thank
A man who saw a view of life inside a tangled bank.

Hello Mr. M---,
I hope you and N--- are well. I will be nothing less than upfront -- this message could go a couple of ways. Meaning you might be offended and choose to cut off communication. However, I can assure you respect is in the forefront of my mind as I type.
I'm motivated to send you this message after your latest post regarding Obama releasing 12M illegal aliens to compete with US citizens for jobs. In fact, let's go just a bit further back. I am compelled to send you this message because many of your posts concern me from a factual standpoint. (A couple of which I have replied with refuting links citing actual facts.) Bear with me. This could get lengthy.
It's the memes (that would be an image with a single-sentence slam against someone or some group). They are hardly ever a way to convey real, tangible information. Instead, they incite or perpetuate anger, fear, hatred. Yes, I am left leaning, and many left-leaning news camps are not without useless memes either. I disregard or challenge those, too. (I am not exclusively pro-Obama or Democrat, by the way, but progressive in nature.)
Here's the core issue -- no complex topic can be reduced to a single graphic; no viewpoint can be refuted in a single rebuttal. We're all guilty of this reductionism, but it defies intellectual examination. There are two sides to a story, they say. I'd add there aren't only two sides, but myriad facets to a story.
When I was a young man you were a role model for me. I recall visiting your home several times. I admired its modesty and your matter-of-fact way of approaching life. But above all else I admired your penchant for collecting knowledge. You had books -- books spilling off shelves, books on tables. Everyone in the M--- household read books. This made a major impression on me in a positive way. It was a hallmark of how I wanted to live my life -- in pursuit of knowledge; real nuggets of truth with which to filter my interpretation of the world.
Now, at that time I was young, impetuous at times. Throughout though, I was also respectful of the elder members of the church my late father chose to attend. I listened and absorbed and later tested messages and behavioral examples against my growing faculties of discernment. There was much I could not reconcile. Hypocrisy, that timeless human condition, abounded.
Late to this Facebook game, my sister, H---, linked me with a lot of old church friends. That process has been wholly mixed. And, here, our viewpoints may seriously differ -- too many people I became reacquainted with have stagnated as if they stopped questioning empirical reality some 25 years ago since I last knew them. A few did not surprise me (although R-- W--, another role model for me, proved to be little more than a bigoted stooge). I challenge you -- are you as such?
The World Wide Web is a fantastic place in this simple fact alone -- we have no excuse for ignorance in the information age; ignorance is now a choice. The means to cross-examine any issue are available to everyone who does not reside in a fascist state like China or Iran. Every meme -- from left or right - can be quickly fact checked. Rest assured, I have as many lefty friends I blow off. Blinders work equally well no matter which side of the track you are wandering off toward, and the lens of truth gets equal application.
This leads me back to the immigration question. OK, estimated 12M immigrants -- illegal, undocumented, what-have-you -- running loose in our country. Level it -- they aren't going anywhere. If we choose to round them up tomorrow and send them back to Mexico, Ecuador, Cuba, wherever -- it would suck our tax dollars. If we eradicated their labor force in our country -- documented or otherwise -- it would drain our tax system some, but GDP big time. Do you realize what these desperate people are willing to do in our economy, like mop floors, slaughter meat, process our trash and hazardous waste? Do you realize how many of them are educated professionals with no future in their home countries, but with skills that could advance ours? Are you afraid for your job? I don't think you should be. Seriously.
Do you further realize that a strong majority (4 in 5, GOP and Dem) support a path to citizenship but differ in what stipulations we should assign to achieve it? It's not an Obama issue, it's an American issue. The immigration problem has been rearing its ugly head for generations, long before Obama was a teenager, perhaps even born. Why do you blame him exclusively?
In any of those voluminous tomes on your shelf, was there anything about ancient cultures -- Greece, Rome, Britain? Did you not read in those the consequences of isolationism? The inevitable fall from shutting off borders from fear that peaceful invaders (immigrants) were the sole reason for collapse? Historians have not been so kind in citing the truth about nationalist behavior and its contribution to the decline of a state.
The means of collapse are among us, my friend. (I can call you now my friend because of this -- once you were my elder and I respected you. We are now peers because I am a father, I have weathered the proclamations of you and yours, and have wisdom to share with you.)
Instead of spewing your hate (not a christian value in any form, by the way) toward Obama and immigrants, why don't you do a little research into GOP corporate interests and how the favorable tax breaks, lobbying statuses, and various policies contribute to the expatriation of American jobs? Why don't you explore that those most vociferously calling for the sealing of our borders are the same that seem to cry for small government yet vote for billions in corporate welfare? If you are outraged by paying welfare, why is it that food in families' mouths outrages you, but CEO bonuses (and lack of prosecution/penalties when they gamble with taxpayer money) does not?
These are not Republican or Democratic issues. I suspect we agree a lot when it comes to national politics. On both sides of the aisle we are being sold out. Knowledge can counter the side-taking. We ALL should be outraged by what's going on. My request is this -- be a part of the solution, not a polarizing contributor to the problem.
You inspired me. You are above that.
Respectfully and with love,
Tuesday, July 30, 2013

How cool is that? We technically gave you guys 4 new articles Sunday through Thursday.
Average Joe and the Other Guy at The Free Financial Advisor graciously let me join their podcast this week. If you care what I have to say (or are just curious about what I sound like) go listen at their page. What was my topic? The "three account" method. I'll go into further (written) detail on this method soon.
Actually, don't come for me… the other on-air talent outclasses me greatly. Other than Average Joe and the Other Guy from the Free Financial Advisor, check out my co-podcasters:
- Carrie @ Careful Cents
- Dominique @ YourFinancesSimplified

On Friday night I attended a show by up and coming indie folk rock band The Gallery at the Famous House of Blues on the Sunset Strip and a most entertaining show it was indeed. The room was filled with dedicated fans who eagerly anticipated the start of the show.
Based in LA, originally from Massachusetts and always on the road, The Gallery is fast building a bigger fan base with every show they play and they play many a show. Lead singer Brendan Cooney, base player Dave Mozdzanowski and drummer Ryan Cooney grew up together in Massessetes while lead guitarist Ben Lozano, who hails from Riverside, California joined the band last year replacing the original lead guitarist. The pairing has evidently worked as Ben rounds off this gathering of extremely talented musicians.
They performed an array of songs from their previous two albums Island Road and Come Alive such as the catchy and lyrically strong 'Ballroom of Broken Hearts', which is by far their most popular song, that being confirmed by the crowd singing along to the lyrics. They also performed new material from their latest release Restless. The new album features another stand-out song, the anthematic 'Young and Restless', which is a slight change from the majority of their material in terms of sheer crowd pumping radio friendly high energy. 'This album is different from our last ones because we wanted to experiment more. The last albums were a little more stripped down, a little more reserved and light rock.' says lead singer Brendan.
Although strongly Influenced by artists like Tom Petty and Bob Dylan they have a certain up beat yet classic cross-country-road-trip feel to their music reminiscent of 'Lynrd Skynrds 'Sweet Home Alabama' with a modern twist of course. Their onstage charisma and individual showman and musicianship on stage clearly contribute to them standing out amongst the many other contenders in this rock band rat race in L.A. They put on a great show and really engage their audience.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
Hey Tommy, you want to come over and play Xbox today? Nah, I'm busy, gotta climb this crazy-high bridge and dangle off the railing like a deranged squirrel. Next time!
These Russian kids forged a memory of a lifetime recently by taking to the heights of the Bridge to Russky Island, a yet-to-be-opened cable span stretching from the city of Vladivostok to (dur) Russky Island. Actually, they climbed a crane next to the huge structure, so they were higher than the bridge's montane pylons, which at about 1,050 feet are the tallest of their kind in existence. The central span is also a record-setter at 3,622 feet, the longest span ever for a cable-stayed bridge and a complete win over the second-place contestant, China's Sutong Yangtze River Bridge.
While you and I might cling to the cold iron skeleton of the crane like a maternally deprived rhesus monkey, these kids ham it up at their ear-freezing altitude, digressing from a central walkway to hang one-handed over the railing. (At several points you'll want to yell: Stop giving high-fives, idiots!) The possibility of them plunging into the Eastern Bosphorus, where they'd be smashed to bosons on the water's surface, makes this amateur footage a bit of a cliff hanger; there is no ending showing their safe return, but they probably made it down OK.
While it's no Siduhe River Bridge, the highest span on the face of earth, the Russky is a mighty and imposing bridge. The Russians plan to open it in time for the 2012 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, which is taking place partly on the island. After the diplomats leave, ordinary Russkies will be able to use the bridge to transit back and forth to the mainland section of Vladivostok, an urban center of about 592,000 residents near the border of China.
Aleksey Baranov, who is helping lead the construction work, describes his pride in the technologies that went into raising this titan:
They include the drilling of ultradeep boreholes from the water in the eastern Bosphorus Strait, the use of high-grade concrete for pylon erection, and installation of the main stiffening girder paired panels from the water. Implementation of this unique project demanded enormous efforts, emotional contribution and expertise of all of us. I dare say, on behalf of all bridge builders, that we are happy because not so often, once in the lifetime really, one could be honored to be able to participate in the building of such bridge.
See how much of this "unique" bridge you can take before losing your stomach. I made it to 1:12 in the above video. For more on how this bridge was built, try beginning with a lovely and extensive photo essay on this non-English page.
In an era of austere federal funding for urban public transportation, light rail seemed to make sense. Did the little trains of the 1980s pull their own weight?
The pioneering festival marketplace was among the most trendsetting urban attractions of the last 40 years. Now it's looking for a new place in a changed city.
Livability indexes can obscure the experiences of non-white people. CityLab analyzed the outcomes just for black women, for a different kind of ranking.
A different kind of wealth distribution in 17th-century Amsterdam paved the way for its quintessential home design.
It's the extreme end game of a tax code that shifts the burden from owners to renters, and from the wealthy to the poor.

A death registry for infants may help researchers get a better handle on how many babies die each year from SIDS and other causes, a new government study suggests.
Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) accounts for one in three deaths in children aged 1 month to 1 year, explained the study's lead author, Carrie Shapiro-Mendoza, a senior scientist in the division of reproductive health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It's the leading cause of death in infants of this age," she said.
Shapiro-Mendoza and her colleagues developed a new classification system to help medical examiners and coroners provide a more accurate description of the circumstances of each infant death.
"Right now there's a lot of confusion, or lack of standard practice, among medical examiners and coroners when they're deciding whether to call it SIDS or suffocation," Shapiro-Mendoza said.
The hope is the new system will give a clearer picture of infant deaths. And that, Shapiro-Mendoza said, might help researchers learn more about the causes of these SUIDs, and perhaps come up with ways to prevent future deaths.
Once researchers have a better handle on how many deaths can be explained, they can start to look for reasons for the unexplained deaths. "Maybe we need to look at biological or medical factors," Shapiro-Mendoza said.
Currently, SIDS is a "garbage diagnosis" that is used when the cause of death is unknown, said Dr. Marlyn Woo, a professor of pediatric pulmonology at the Mattel Children's Hospital, UCLA. "With all these cases being labeled as SIDS, you can't really home in on the cause of this epidemic. And you can't learn how to identify those children who are at risk and find measures to prevent it."
The new research will go a long way to helping scientists to find answers, Woo said.
"Thank goodness the federal government got involved and funded this classification system," she added.

Hot wings Michael? YUM!!
I got that too, puddin, but only cities that receive the Baltimore and Cincinnati game at 4:05 p.m. ET will be affected this week. Most of the country will get an early game.In fact, you can take a look at the CBS NFL distribution map for Week 10 and the sections shaded in green are affected by a potential overrun.Cincinnati, Baltimore, Atlanta, New Orleans, a portion of the Carolinas, St. Louis, all of Wisconsin including Milwaukee, western Michigan, most of Minnesota and parts of North Dakota are all affected.
Of course we will wait for you. We love Peach. Okay everyone, lets enjoy the show knowing that Peach is 7 minutes behind everyone.
He's on the other side of the world, Michael! And mswood--I just luuuvv you too! Guess I'll have to watch it all by myself....*sniff* *lonely tear*

text: PASADENA, Calif. -- Finally. When the Ohio State football team flies back to Columbus this weekend, it should make amazing time. The gorilla that was lifted off the Buckeyes back on Friday with a 26-17 win over Oregon in the 96th annual Rose Bowl should make the flight that much easier. Powered by a career game from sophomore quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who ran for 72 yards and threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns, No. 8 Ohio State (11-2) won its first bowl game since 2006, defeating 7th-ranked Oregon (10-3) -- a team most people figured would extend OSU's streak of bowl-game misery. "It's a reputation for us," Pryor said. "It was huge for us to get over that hump and win this game. And we've just got to keep on winning." In the days leading into the game, Oregon coach Chip Kelly continuously talked about the importance of his team's defense limiting OSU's powerful running game. A member of his coaching staff slipped up somewhat this week and mentioned that he felt Pryor seemed to wilt and make mistakes under pressure. Pryor answered any and all questions on his ability on Friday, completing 23 of 37 passes and guiding OSU to a Rose Bowl victory in the team's first trip to Pasadena since 1997. Moments after the victory, Kelly went to OSU's locker room and was seen smiling, shaking hands and congratulating Pryor on his big game. Pryor chose Ohio State over Oregon and Penn State as a high school senior. "They came in, opened it up and obviously Terrelle beat us," Kelly said. Normally conservative coach Jim Tressel bubbled with enthusiasm after his team's victory, which could catapult the youthful Buckeyes into a high ranking when next season starts, as well as another run at a BCS national championship. "I'm so proud of them," Tressel said. "Kurt Coleman led that defense. Terelle Pryor did a great job leading that offense and making plays. I'm proud of the coaching staff and our fans (who showed) up a long way from home. It's just a great night for the Buckeyes."

University of Colorado senior Will Oliver was named to the 2014 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award watch list on Wednesday morning.
Oliver is one of 30 kickers on the preseason list released by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. He was among the 20 semifinalists for the award last year after hitting 17 of 24 field goals and all 30 of his PATs during the 2013 season.
Heading into his final season with the Buffs, Oliver ranks eighth in scoring, including fourth in kick scoring, with 189 points, and also ranks fourth in both field goals (34) and field goals attempted (48) for the Buffs.
Oliver, who has been the Buffs' kicker since his freshman year, has hit 60 consecutive PATs and needs seven more for the CU record. He hasn't missed a PAT since the final game of his freshman season and is the first player in school history not to miss a PAT in multiple seasons.
