Every time the Texas Tech defense sacks an opposing quarterback, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest gets a boost and Lubbock National Bank gets an assist.
This is the 15th year Ronald McDonald House has partnered with Texas Tech football on the program.
People can pledge a $1 or more per sack.
For more information and to pledge, click here
Or call (806) 744.8877.
At the end of the season, the charity sends them an invoice based on their pledge and the final number of sacks.
"Our defense takes pride in getting to the quarterback each and every Saturday. While each sack helps us on the field, we're also fortunate to know it will help families in need at the Ronald McDonald House. This is a great cause for many in West Texas," said Kliff Kingsbury, Tech's head coach.
Lubbock National Bank is one of Ronald McDonald House's corporate partners with a $10,000 a year commitment – half of that going to the Quarterback Sack program.
"The bank is always interested in any organization that helps families and children – and Ronald McDonald House's mission hits that very well," said Randy Laycock, LNB senior vice president. "If you can keep a family together it promotes healing. It's very dear to us because we're a family organization."
Besides the bank's support, Laycock has served the charity on its board since 2008 and two years as board chair.
The house serves as a home-away-from-home for families of critically ill children who are receiving medical treatment in local hospitals. More than 400 families are served each year by the charity, whose service area covers a wide swath of West Texas.
Dina Jeffries, the charity's president and CEO, said the highest pledge per sack has been $1,000 and the highest number of sacks in a season has been 26.
She said they cap the number of sacks at 25 unless someone wants to donate more.
People can also make a one-time donation.
However the money comes in, Audra Boedeker, the charity's director of donor relations, said all funds "go directly to our chapter and stay here locally. People give local and it stays local."
About a dozen players attended a pediatric kick off party in the family room at Covenant's Children's Hospital.
"They came in jerseys and sweat pants and took a toy cart to the pediatric floor of the hospital. They signed autographs and gave t-shirts to the kids," said Boedeker.
Jeffries and Boedeker had praise for the bank and Laycock.
"Lubbock National Bank are amazing friends and partners. It's from (president and CEO) Eddie (Schulz) on down. They are one of our major donors. We opened our very first bank account with them 29 years ago. They invest in the community and not just in events. Their philosophy is to invest in their mission and we've learned from that," she said.
"We had an amazing transformation on the board due to Randy's leadership. The board is not as reserved and got to know each other more. He implemented board orientations. He implemented great policy changes on the governance committee. Randy is also a great sounding board," Jeffries said.
Boedeker said, "Randy has been a wonderful ambassador of ours."

If you're internet-dwelling losers like me, you probably know what SHUs are already. That is, unless you're a lonely internet-dwelling loser that doesn't give a fuck about science... in which case, shame on you. There's a wealth of information online that doesn't comprise midget porn, you sick fuck.
Anyway, here's the TL;DR on chile science for you.
We've previously discussed capsaicin and thyocianate, the evil motherfucers that turn your mouth into Satan's toilet and you colon into a heaping pile of pulsating blood clots, but we didn't delve too much on how they are meassured.
Scoville Heat Units were devised as units of measurement for his Organoleptic Test in 1912 by american biochemist Wilbur Scoville, who at the time was working for Boehringer-Ingleheim pharmaceuticals, the same company that makes Meloxicam.
An organoleptic test involves recording the results of a panel of testers, and being a subjective test, is highly imprecise. What Scoville did was to take the extract of every chile and dilute it with water, then feed it to a panel of 5 testers. A rating of 5,000 SHUs means that one drop of extract was diluted into 5,000 drops of water before it became undetectable by the tongue.
There's High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) available now, which is highly accurate in detecting the actual levels of irritant substances in chiles and spices, but 100 years of tradition have stuck and we rely on SHUs.
So what does this mean for us? Not much, actually, unless you want to search for a specific chile or hot sauce to suit your taste. Here's a great list of chiles and condiments that you can check before your next purchase.

We've chosen four of our favourite museums in Glasgow, so you can add them to your list of places to visit. If you love museums, then Glasgow couldn't be a better choice of city. All the museums we've chosen have an eclectic choice of artefacts, whether it's architecture, history or art, so read on and see which ones catch your eye and add them to the top of your list.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
A magnificent building that deserves a long look, and that's before you've even entered. It contains a staggering 8, 000 items for your enjoyment, these are anything from civic art to World War II planes suspended from the ceiling. There are various types of armour, and some amazing things to see in the natural history section which go back thousands of years.
The name comes from Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Scotland's most famous and talented architect. There are plenty of his creations in and around Glasgow for you to enjoy including The Glasgow School of Art, The Lighthouse, Mackintosh House, Mackintosh Church at Queen's Cross and finally Scotland Street School. Machintosh House itself reassembles the Glasgow home interiors when they lived at 78 South Park Avenue in the early part of the 20th century. You'll get to see their eclectic and distinctive style with a minimalistic austerity that was years before its time. It's been put together with all its original contents, so you can see how it would have looked.
Riverside Museum
This beautiful museum was designed by Zaha Hadid, and inside, as well as paintings you'll find all sorts of trains, cars, planes and skateboards. There's around 3,000 items here and the museum is a perfect setting for Glasgow's transport history.
St Mungo Museum Of Religious Life And Art
You'll find this interestingly named museum in Cathedral Square and covers world religions of every kind. You'll find Islamic Calligraphy sculptures as well as a beautifully designed Zen Garden. It's food for thought in some lovely, tranquil surroundings.

Today's post comes from one of our intrepid Graphic Designers, Ryan Sawyer. As Ryan just relocated to Austin, TX, we thought he could offer a unique first-hand account of what South By Southwest® is like for the locals. Recently, my wife and I moved to Austin. Two days before SXSW started, to be exact. I had visited Austin many times before, but never had the opportunity to experience the film/music/interactive festivals first hand. In many ways, it was a wonderful introduction to what Austin has to offer not only to its locals, but to the rest of the world, too. Austin is headquarters to hundreds of startups and food trucks, as well as corporate giants like Apple, Intel, and Google. Its citizens range from fair-trade farmers to software developers. There really is something for everyone here, and SXSW proclaims it loudly and proudly. Many friends back home were asking who I was planning on seeing perform and/or speak at SXSW. The sad truth was, I had no idea where to start! Do I wait in line for a few hours to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds perform at Stubbs BBQ, or do I use those hours to check out 2 or 3 smaller, relatively unknown bands? This is SXSW, after all…for all I know, one of those smaller bands could end up being the next big thing, and then I'd be able to get all that "I saw them before they got big" hipster cred that everyone seems to want/hate. And of course, you need to leave some flexibility in your schedule because you never know when a megastar is going to make a surprise appearance at a hole-in-the-wall club. As for the Interactive presentations, do I watch Edward Snowden teleconferencing in from Russia to discuss privacy, or do I attend the Neil Young panel where he debuted the prototype of his new "Pono" music player/service? I didn't get to attend a lot of film-related events, but I did get into a screening of the new Wes Anderson film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" at one of the Drafthouse theaters. Apparently Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman were at the screening the day before to do a Q&A, but no such luck on the evening I went. One of the more common complaints was that SXSW has gotten too big. There are far too many events and activities scheduled to take advantage of even a fraction of them. Case in point, there were over 2000 bands performing this year. If you were magically able to stay awake for 6 days straight and you spent all 24 hours of each day seeing a band play a 30-minute set, you'd STILL only be able to see 14% of the bands that performed! Carefully curating your SXSW experience ahead of time has become very important. Of course, it's not all about the grand, large-scale performances, either. SXSW has also become an important networking event, where representatives from small startups can be rubbing elbows with executives from large corporations, pitching their ideas and making important career connections. When you're standing in line for 2 hours to get into a panel on Gesture-Based Mobile App Design, you really get to know the people standing next to you. You never know, the person you're chatting with might know someone who'd be very interested in funding your Kickstarter idea for a Whoopie Cushion smartphone app (disclaimer: please don't actually sit on your smartphone). Could they benefit from toning down the size of the festivals? Possibly, yeah. It's becoming more and more apparent that many people are coming into downtown Austin on the evenings for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the after-hours free food and drink being offered by various studios and companies throughout the week. Ironically, SXSW started in 1987 because club owners were looking for a way to get people into the empty bars and clubs during spring break, since all the college kids had left town for those 2 weeks. Nowadays, SXSW has BECOME a spring break destination. If you can navigate your way through the live performances, the panel presentations, the surprise guest stars, the amazing food trucks, the film sneak previews, and the fascinating new technologies, SXSW can be an immersive, educational, and entertaining event. Just make sure you plan ahead in order to get what you want our of your own SXSW experience.

Books coverage has been shrinking in newspapers — including this one — for about as long as I can remember.
Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be nestled in the Sunday Chicago Tribune, the hometown paper I grew up reading, but what book lover doesn't miss the days of the stand-alone Printers Row book section?
Cataloging the technological and economic upheavals that have buffeted the business side of journalism would require a four-part series of this column, but the result has been a gradual shedding of content judged peripheral, which at many papers has sadly included books.
Bucking the trend is New York Media (Vulture, The Cut, Daily Intelligencer, New York Magazine), which recently announced it would be significantly expanding its book-related coverage, "tripling" its content spread across multiple platforms.
Last year, The New York Times, after years of running a kind of bifurcated system in which the daily and Sunday papers were separate fiefdoms, committed to a single vision for its books coverage under the authority of New York Times Book Review Editor Pamela Paul. Rather than signaling a consolidation and shrinking of coverage, this move added coherence and coordination, and included a redesign of the venerable Sunday Book Review.
Why are books worth investing in when it comes to drawing digital-age eyeballs?
I don't know anything for certain. These examples could be Hail Mary bets, but it feels more substantive than that. I think these publications understand what you and I both know: Book audiences are the best audiences.
When advertising online, it is difficult to achieve "market segmentation," grouping audiences in a way that allows for effective targeting of products and messages. Facebook and Google wield so much power because all of the personal data of ours they're busy hoovering up allows them to target advertising on their platforms.
Websites or parts of sites that draw a group with natural affinities create a kind of self-segmenting audience, which allows for more effective advertising, which publications can sell at higher prices.
Affiliate income, a chunk of revenue for anything purchased from clicking through a site to a vendor, also has the potential to be a nice chunk of ancillary revenue.
Business matters aside, I think there's a deeper reason why these publications are making this bet: They've recognized that books are enduringly popular and the nature of the internet as a medium has allowed book people to indulge.
This doesn't mean more book reviews, but it does mean more book coverage — features about authors or trends, themed lists, lost treasures. Recognizing that people want to read and talk about books as much as they want to read the books themselves is proving to draw audiences.
It works on me, anyway, both as a writer of this column and a passionate reader. Often now I'll finish a book I loved and go rooting around for interviews with the author or podcasts discussing the story or even online reviews from regular readers — all ways I can share and nurture my passion.
We are legion, folks. Let's hope more publications get wise to our power.
John Warner is the author of "Tough Day for the Army."
Book recommendations from the Biblioracle
John Warner tells you what to read next based on the last five books you've read.
1. "The French Lieutenant's Woman" by John Fowles
2. "Bleeding Edge" by Thomas Pynchon
3. "City on Fire" by Garth Risk Hallberg
4. "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt
5. "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple
— Michelle H., North Aurora
Almost feels like an easy one, which makes me suspicious, but I'm going with my gut: "The Sellout" by Paul Beatty.
1. "The Darkest Evening of the Year" by Dean Koontz
2. "The Bishop's Pawn" by Steve Berry
3. "The Pharaoh Key" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
4. "The President Is Missing" by James Patterson and Bill Clinton
5. "So Cold the River" by Michael Koryta
— Pam K., Naperville
A clear preference as a reader, which I want to respect, but I can't resist getting a little off the path. For Pam, it has to be suspenseful, and I'm going with a great novel of dark, psychological suspense: "The Dinner" by Herman Koch.
1. "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese
2. "Maude" by Donna Foley Mabry
3. "My Name Is Lucy Barton" by Elizabeth Strout
4. "Maine" by J. Courtney Sullivan
5. "Without Reservations: The Travels of an Independent Woman" by Alice Steinbach
— Lisa M., St. Charles
Here's how crazy reading is: If I just read the title "My Name is Lucy Barton," I get an emotional reaction rooted in my experience of reading the book. Tell me that's not cool. Lisa needs something well-written and emotionally satisfying, which brings me to "Up From the Blue" by Susan Henderson.

With the UAAP about to start its 81st season this weekend, Mr Libog's thoughts naturally turned to thoughts of championship.
"How hard could it be?" He repeated that question probably at least a dozen times over lunch at this new Vietnamese restaurant near where we live.
(Note to friends: you should all give it a try, its called Ba Noi, inside Kapitolyo, in Pasig, their Pho is truly inspired, and huge, good for two if you have normal appetites.)
Going back to our conversation, Mr Libog was off on another one of his discussions on basketball common sense.
"Pare naman, hindi naman imposibleng talunin ng Ateneo ang Lasalle last year. Apat na vetreran starters ang nawala sa Lasalle, apat 'yon ha!," he emphasized.
"Tapos ang pinalit mo, isang mad bomber na converted point guard, na-dengue pa along the way. 'Yung isa magaling na sana, kaya lang siempre may pagka-bwakaw, tsaka magulo maglaro. Take note, pareho pa silang sophomores, second year lang sa college parehas," he continued.
I reminded him that they still had arguably the best player ever to set foot on a UAAP court in maybe the last 20 years, the incomparable Benoit Mbala. Plus they also had a veteran transferee in 6-5 slam dunk champion Leonard Santillan, and veteran 6-5 Fil-American Abu Tratter. Heck, they even had Kib Montalbo, Andrei Caracut, Jollo Go, and 6-8 Justin (I am not spelling that with an "e" at the end because that is the feminine spelling and I don't care what it says on his birth certificate) Baltazar.
"Sino ba point guard dun? Sino may hawak nung bola parati? Nakakarating ba kay Mbala?" he rattled off.
"Tsaka, pare naman, may nakita ka bang galaw o pukol ni Mbala? Naalala mo ba si Orlando Johnson o kaya si Justin Brownlee sa laro ni Mbala? Hindi 'di ba? Sabi ko naman sa iyo wala naman talaga siyang pukol, matigas ang kamay, kita mo naman sa freethrows niya. Hindi din naman siya tipong kamador na may pullup or may tres gaya nina Johnson at Brownlee," he continued.
Still, said I, Mbala is a heck of a player, and since this is only college ball, that makes him a titan on the court, plus as much as Mr Libog may have ripped into Mbala's teammates, no one would ever dispute there are probably more PBA players on Lasalle last year than the Ateneo did.
I further reminded him that he himself made a pre-Season 80 prediction that Lasalle would repeat as champions, due largely, I reminded him further still, to, in his words, "Mbala wala talagang katapat."
It was in fact the first time he said, "How hard could it be?" And indeed how hard could it be to win when you have a 6-6 titan on your side.
"You remember I keep telling you how in the US NCAA it is normally the teams that do not have an NBA lottery prospect that wins the national championship?" he said.
"I'm talking about teams like Villanova, UConn, etc. In the last 10 years, only the Kentucky team of Anthony Davis had a 1-done lottery prospect and won the national title, all the rest are mostly veteran teams," he explained.
"Ganyan din actually sa UAAP, hindi naman just sheer talent. Look at Mbala's title team. Meron siyang Jeron Teng, Jason Perkins, Thomas Torres, Julian Sargent. Last year Mbala has two ball-dominant sophomores who barely played in their freshman year, a transferee playing for the first time in the UAAP, and a so-so talent whose best asset is he's a 6-5 Fil-Am."
And he played against what, a bunch of all stars?
"No, but Ateneo had veterans by then, battle-tested na. Thirdy Ravena, the Nieto twins, Anton Asistio, George Go, Vince Tolentino, even Ikeh, how many years have they been playing together? Graduate na nga sina Vince at Ikeh eh, Thirdy sat out a whole year pa, so that was how old that team was."
"Same with Lasalle last year as well, nawalan sila ng apat na fifth-year starters. When they had all of those guys, especially Jeron, how hard could it be?"
(I told you guys he said that a lot over lunch...)
"So this year, fearless forecast ko, basta palaruin si (Angelo) Kouame, taya ko bahay namin pati lahat ng kotse ko, champion ang Ateneo," he declared.
What if Kouame is ruled ineligible to play?
"Sure Final 4 pa din, with a few breaks, or maybe some freethrow help from the referees, Finals pa din ang Ateneo. How hard could it be?"
Everybody else?
"UST and UE will dispute the cellar. All the rest rambulan na lang, although lamang na for Final 4 berths siguro FEU tsaka Adamson."
There you have it folks.
How hard could it be...

17 March 2018 Manila, Philippines: Philippine Azkals Team Manager Dan Palami calls for support for the upcoming matches of the national team, taking place on March 22 and March 27, 2018, to be held at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The Azkals will see action on March 22 against Fiji, for an International Friendly Match, which will serve as a tune-up game for the crucial AFC Asian Cup 2019 qualifier match on March 27, 2018.
Azkals Team Manager Dan Palami says, This is an important match for the country, and the cards are not exactly stacked against us. We are currently on top of the table of Group F with 9 points. We win or we draw, we will move forward and the country will be part of the AFC Asian Cup for the first time.
Palami continues, We want the 12th man to be there in both the tune-up game and the Asian Cup qualifier match. This sport deserves all the support it can get, as we have already gone far, since 2010, when I took over as Team Manager of Azkals.
We should also be proud of our national team players who are doing well internationally in their various clubs. Such as Neil Etheridge, currently with Cardiff City, and all other previous PFL club players, who are doing well and are now playing for neighbouring Asian countries, such as Ian Ramsay, who is currently with Felda United and Misagh Bahadoran, who is with Perak FA
And maybe this is the only way that the country or the youth can see, that aspiring for an international football career is not that impossible, says Palami.
Tajikistan is currently ranked 124th, while the Philippines is currently ranked 122nd, in its latest rankings by FIFA, while Fiji is currently ranked 168th.

From our friends at ONE Championship...
If a teenaged Tiffany "No Chill" Teo could see her adult counterpart, she would be unrecognizable.
As a young girl, the Singaporean martial arts standout was heavily involved in choir activities, which she participated in for a decade.
"I was a nerd when I was a kid. I was not very active," Teo shared in jest.
Today, Teo is the polar opposite as she traded in her songbooks and rehearsal rooms for a pair of four-ounce gloves and the gym.
Teo went from a quiet, unassuming choirgirl to becoming a renowned strawweight martial arts prospect with an impressive record of 7-0.
The winding road to ONE Championship began in the oddest of places - in front of the television screen. Teo?s interest in martial arts, Muay Thai specifically, was stoked by popular reality show The Contender Asia.
Motivated by the aforementioned television program and a brief stint in Taekwondo, Teo made her way to a Singapore gym to start training in the "art of eight limbs" nearly eight years ago.
What started out as a way to stay in shape quickly turned into requests for Teo to test out her skills against real competition.
"I had no plans to compete," she revealed. "My coaches kept asking. They wanted me to go to Thailand. I thought it was a crazy idea. 'You want me to go face a girl that has been doing it all her life?'"
Teo turned down the opportunity test herself in Thailand, and, after training for two years, she put Muay Thai on the shelf completely as she packed her bags and headed to the United States to study Psychology at the University of Buffalo, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
However, school was far from enough to keep Teo from wondering "what if" in terms of martial arts competition. As each day passed, the fire in her to compete grew stronger.
With a full life prior to heading to the United States, there was simply no time for her to train, but after concluding her studies, the window opened again.
Teo returned to Singapore and dove head-first into the amateur martial arts scene after just a month of training.
What was meant to be a one-time experience that she could cross off her bucket list soon turned into something more serious, all because she lost.
"I hate losing," Teo bared. "I decided to re-evaluate what I did wrong, and I wanted to continue."
A far cry from her days in the choir, Teo's journey to perfect her craft in martial arts progressed quickly.
After immersing herself with Muay Thai and boxing, Teo dabbled in the famous grappling discipline of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Before she knew it, the Singaporean was on the road to a full-fledged professional mixed martial arts career.
"I fell in love with martial arts. There is more to it than throwing strikes and grappling with your training partner on the mat. It empowers me every single day," Teo stressed.
From the amateur to the professional ranks, there was one battle that Teo fought for every single match that she was booked for: winning the approval of her parents.
"They did not like the fact that I am competing," she said. "Since day one, they asked me why I wanted to do it. 'You cannot be a normal person with a nine-to-five job?' They have let it go, but I know they do not like it. They wanted me to settle down and live a normal life."
After having her hand raised in seven professional bouts inside the cage, Teo has received the biggest opportunity of her perfect martial arts career as she is scheduled to clash with "The Panda" Xiong Jing Nan for the inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight World Championship.
Both women are set to collide in the main event of ONE: KINGS OF COURAGE, which takes place at the Jakarta Convention Center in Indonesia on 20 January.
The 28-year-old Singaporean title contender can make history on that fateful night, but she knows that it will not be easy.
"It takes a lot of discipline and hard work to be a world champion. We see how people change after they become the champion, so I feel like you need to stay humble, grounded, and continue to work hard," she stated.
Although Xiong is widely-regarded as one of China?s finest woman warriors, Teo is confident in her ability to win as she is preparing for all possible scenarios for her first-ever martial arts world title contest.
"I feel a knockout or submission is possible. She is pretty wild with her punches so the opening for a knockout is there, and an opening for a takedown is there if she is committing to her punches," she explained.
"At the same time, she is tough. She might not get knocked down or knocked out, and she
It is officially a new year, and yes Praxedes, we somehow survived the annual mandatory blood alcohol poisoning that is part of the rituals of ringing out the old and ringing in the new.
Below, numbered for enumeration and not for order of importance, are my memorable basketball moments for 2017:
1. Kevin Durant made the move and won his championship ring.
There are those who think Durant ought to be commended for finally coming to terms with the fact that he and Russell Westbrook will never win an NBA world title together in Oklahoma City.
There are also those who think Durant should never ever be allowed into the Hall of Fame because he took the easiest way out of that little conundrum by signing with the Golden State Warriors, effectively ensconcing the NBA title in the West for all time, or at least the next decade.
Durant did what he had to do, and did it at a time when he can still win multiple championships in Oakland. Yes, if he was as great as he thinks he is then he should have stayed in Oklahoma and proven it.
But then again, he doesn't owe anybody any explanation or excuse about making a move that is simply a no-brainer if he wants to have the one thing that all the true greats have, a championship.
Unless LeBron James is cloned in Cleveland then the NBA has become boring for the next decade or so.
2. Ginebra retains its Governors Cup title.
Ginebra San Miguel and Meralco played to a record crowd of over 54,000 fans at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan in the Mother of all Game 7's as the Gin Kings retained their PBA Governors Cup championship.
Greg Slaughter, who sat out the 2016 title run due to injury, finally got his first PBA championship on the hardwood floor.
Meralco put up a heck of a fight, but in the end the superior size of Ginebra proved just to big (literally) an obstacle to overcome.
If the Game 7 box office and television share was any indication, Ginebra is still the lifeblood of the PBA.
3. Lyceum went from shit to sweep in the NCAA.
Talk about the Lyceum Pirates in the NCAA and you'd normally get word associations such as "cellar dweller", "league doormat", "whipping boys". At least until this season.
This season the Pirates completed an historic 18-game regular season sweep of the NCAA, including two tough games against reigning champion San Beda.
Granted they eventually folded when it mattered most, getting swept 2-0 in the Finals as the Red Lions went on to continue their NCAA Dynasty.
Still, no one can ever take away what Coach Topex Robinson, CJ Perez and the rest of the Pirates achieved this season. That si probably a record that will stand for the better part of this century.
4. Christian Standhardinger, through no fault of his own, is now June Mar Fajardo's teammate.
Mention Christian Standhardinger and what automatically comes to mind is the controversial trade that allowed the already powerful San Miguel Beer franchise to draft him with the Number 1 pick in the 2017 PBA Rookie Draft.
No one except the most hardcore of hoops fans even heard of Standhardinger before this year.
He is a strapping and active 6-foot-8 Filipino-German forward who spent his college years in the US NCAA.
Then Gilas head coach Chot Reyes summoned him for national team duty and he answered the call.
Although he was classified by FIBA as a naturalized player and not a local, he saw action with Gilas and showed Pinoy fans why Reyes wanted him.
Fast forward to Draft Day 2017 and Kia gives up the rights to the Number 1 pick in favor of some role players, allowing the Beermen to nab Standhardinger.
He now gets to play alongside four-time MVP Fajardo, although not right away since he still has an active ABL contract to play out.
5. Chito Narvasa resigns as PBA Commissioner following the Standhardinger controversy.
Kia, as mentioned above, gave up the chance to get Standhardinger in the draft essentially for three role players: JR Reyes, Ronald Tubid, and Filipino-American Rashawn McCarthy. Uh, who? Yes Praxedes, that was what everybody thought as well.
Anyway, where were we? Ah yes, Narvasa.
This trade would not have been consummated had Narvasa not approved it as Commissioner.
This then led to a "schism" of sorts within the PBA Board, with five team allied with the San Miguel Corporation on one side, supporting Narvasa, and seven teams led by the PLDT Group on the other side asking for Narvasa's head on a platter.
Although Narvasa held out for a while, he did eventually give up and resign.
Truth be told nobody would ever in a million

In the application of digital methods to research topics in the humanities, the sky is the limit. From archaeology to musicology to Islamic studies, digital projects abound at Bern. Here you find a breif overview concerning the extent of the Digital Humanities at the Humanities Faculty.
The professorship for Digital Humanities is currently involved in five different projects. Some of them are led by us, others profit to a substantial extent from our research. Their descriptions are available here.
The diverse student projects in Digital Humanities are portrayed here. They serve as illustration of the varied and useful methods, techniques and research questions that a student can engage with already as an undergraduate without prior knowledge.
Finally, some of the projects of other departments are presented in more detail, too. Through these presentations we aim to illustrate the versatile usefulness of Digital Humanities and to elucidate the fact that the university is already home to a wide range of projects in many different disciplines which explicitly use digital methods or have a digital content.

The issue of a nondiscrimination ordinance to members of the LGBT community has come before the Scottsdale City Council several times in the last few years, but has been continuously rejected as a "solution looking for a problem" or not needed because Scottsdale "doesn't have discrimination."
As a Scottsdale resident and as the parent of a transgender child, I would like to tell you otherwise.
I see discrimination every day. I experience it directly as the parent of a trans kid. I see it through the eyes of my child when some local businesses rob her of opportunities to thrive at school, summer camp, or playing her favorite sport. They rob her of the opportunity to be treated as an equal.
There are those who have already decided who she is and of what she is worthy. And this "worth" is something less than the average Scottsdale citizen. Businesses in Scottsdale, which are supposed to be open to all, are free to dismiss her as a person, to deny her who she is. There are no protections in place should a company operating in Scottsdale choose to deny her service. Because there is no recourse, should her rights be violated?
I see discrimination in our city when I read about the horrible incidents at 5th and Wine, where an LGBT staffer had no legal recourse at the state or city level to report the discrimination and harassment he faced. The discrimination I see is painful and pervasive.
The federal government has recently taken the position that the civil rights for the LGBT population ought to fall to the individual states. Arizona asks that those rights be protected by local municipalities. So then, with respect to civil rights and protection against discrimination, regardless of a person's biology, to whom they are attracted, or a person's gender identity, the buck stops with Scottsdale.
I would like to ask all citizens of Scottsdale to consider the importance of a fully inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance for the city. As it stands today, there is nothing that prevents local businesses from actively targeting and discriminating against its citizens. As absurd as it sounds, it is true. I argue that the freedom local businesses have to discriminate goes against our city's recent "Golden Rule" pledge. But we can fix that.
Supporting citywide equality for all who live, work, and visit Scottsdale takes courage on the part of the city. The fact is that not every Scottsdale citizen supports equality for every other Scottsdale citizen.
However, I would argue that those who are unsupportive of equality are mistaken. It is a founding principle of this nation that all people are created equal, in all places, at all times. It ought not be the case that all people are equal in Phoenix, but once they cross a line on a map, that equality dissolves. But until the state of Arizona passes statewide legislation protecting all its citizens, it is up to the city to set the right tone and protect its people.
I ask that the city provide an anchor of support for equality. A citywide nondiscrimination ordinance sends a message of tolerance and inclusion and shows the rest of Arizona that Scottsdale leads the way in supporting the civil rights of all its citizens.
Both my transgender child and my non-transgender child ought to be able to grow up in the city we love and know that it loves them both equally. They ought to feel welcome and free to build a life here. And, in the rare case when there are bad actors, everyone ought to have equal access to recourse and protection.
As we approach the celebration of our Declaration of Independence, I feel it is important that my children know that the city of Scottsdale will stand up to protect their inalienable rights, chief among them, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, in the face of those few who would rob them of those rights.
It is tradition here in the southwest to live independently. But the people who settled this state, and the tribes who lived here before us, were only successful when they depended on each other and supported each other. Arizona has a tradition of individualism on one hand and solidarity on the other. We Arizonans can take care of ourselves as long as we all have equal access to the same tools.
A nondiscrimination ordinance would be a tool Scottsdale citizens can use to fight for our rights. And that is all we are asking. We are asking for the city to craft a tool that we can use to fight for ourselves.
Editor's note: Mr. Chevaleau is a Scottsdale resident and is president of the Arizona Trans Youth & Parent Organization

Courts & Crime
Florida family presses for pawnshop legislation
MANATEE -- In the days after he found his wife Kathleen bludgeoned to death in their Terra Ceia home, it was not foremost in Dr. James Briles' mind to drive to local pawn shops to look for her jewelry and other items that were stolen.
Out of $40,000 in property taken, the Briles family ended up recovering one necklace.
After visiting hundreds of pawn shops after the initial shock of the murder, the Briles family discovered an industry, they say, has an antiquated paper system for recording transactions.
The family believes that if Florida pawnbrokers had to take pictures of every item they take in and everyone who does business with them, it might get some criminals off the streets faster and it would be easier for victims to identify their possessions.
The family's effort, known as Kathleen's Cause, has led to a pair of bills in the Florida House and Senate that would amend Florida Statutes 538 and 539 to include digital photographs of items pledged or sold and of the pledger or seller.
Senate Bill 1662 and House Bill 1323 also would establish a statewide electronic database for keeping all the transaction information.
"We are not after the pawn industry," the 58-year-old doctor said Monday. "We are after the bad guys. With this type of electronic system it will be easier to track bad guys."

Media Sunset Cocktail Reception
Prior to the cocktail reception, a press conference was held with YB Datuk Amar Abang Zohari Tun Open, the Minister of Tourism Sarawak. For Sarawakian, the minister is fondly known as 'Abang Jo' and I'm impressed with his public relations skills in responding to the media queries. Short, simple yet straight to the point kinda thing.
The media group later were treated with a cocktail reception while watching the sunset by the hotel swimming pool. It was an awesome and spectacular sights with 5 star hospitality. The cocktail reception was hosted by one and only 5 star hotel in Miri – Marriot Resort & Spa. Thank you, Marriot. 🙂

Stars Summer Update: Episode 2
ULTIMATE WINDOWS-sponsored Billingham Stars have had another busy week announcing their squad for the coming season, with four re-signs and the addition of Canadian centre Kevin Boyd as the roster starts to take shape. Read about new signing Boyd by clicking here, then read on to find out more about the four returnees.
The first defenseman on the roster was 17-year-old James Hellens. Hellens shone in his first season sharing senior duties with both the Under 20s and Under 18s sides, noticeably improving with every game. Never flustered, Hellens has all the attributes necessary to develop into a first-class blue liner and will be looking to log even more senior shifts this coming campaign.
Assistant Captain Cal Davies was a welcome addition to the squad, his being a name that many fans look for first when the team lists are published. One of the best two-way players in the League, Davies' partnership with long-time foil Michael Elder is so well established that one without the other seems unthinkable. Davies never gives less than everything he has, a quality that has endeared him to the Stars faithful and makes him one of the most popular members of the team.
Switching back to defence for the final two announcments of the week, the Stars revealed the return of Tom Keeley. Keeley's season was blighted by injury last time out, a summer of rest should see him come back better than ever. Fans will be hoping to see more of Keeley's slap shot this season, a weapon much missed as Keeley logged just 21 games.
The Stars week finished with the announcement that smooth-skating defenseman Ross Hanlon would also be returning to Billingham. As with Keeley, Hanlon was not able to play for a large part of the last campaign and his presence on he blue line was a big miss. Whilst it is easy to draw attention to Hanlon's skating ability, he also sees the ice very well and as such is an integral part of the Stars back line.

Four familiar faces and one new Star - a busy week at Billingham as the season creeps ever closer. Once again this week Anth Lowe of Stars Media Team was kind enough to share his thoughts:
"James Hellens came through from the junior set up last year and played big minutes alongside import Arturs Ozols. Hellens is a dependable stay-at-home D man who reads the game very well and is very rarely out of position, which is a fantastic trait in one so young.
"Cal Davies was one of those that I was waiting with baited breath to hear had signed. As a newlywed there was always the possibility of him taking some time out. Thankfully he hasn't as he is one of the most important players on the team. An excellent playmaker (who should maybe shoot a bit more), Cal is also one of the best two-way players in the League and is equally at home on the powerplay or penalty kill.
"Kevin Boyd is obviously a completely unknown quantity. Kevin comes with what appear to be good playmaking skills from his stats last year in the third tier of Canadian Junior Hockey. Our new coach speaks very highly of Kevin and so I am excited to see what he can bring.
"Tom Keeley had a tough time of it last year with injury derailing much of his season. Despite playing in 19 League games, Tom was clearly not at 100%. His booming shot from the point was missing from his game and we hope to see him back to full fitness.
"Ross Hanlon was another player who missed a large chunk of time last season, but when he did play the speed and ability to read the game was evident. Hopefully a full campaign will show how good Ross really can be."
Stars will continue to post signings as and when they happen on social media, with a round-up of the week's happenings on the website on Fridays. We expect fixtures to be issued very soon, please keep an eye on our social media channels for all the latest news.

Jeremy had his 911 coated with Gloss Coat by me, so he is no stranger to Opti-Coat and the benefits of protecting your investment. This meant when his wife got a new car, having it coated with Opti-Coat Pro, Opti-Guard Leather and Fabric, and Opti-Glass Pro was high on the priority list!
The car had been detailed by the dealership and there were many swirls to remove in order to make it look better than new. Thankfully, Optimum's polishes made quick work of this and soon it was ready to be coated. The interior was already pretty clean so not much was needed in order to prepare the leather and cloth for coating. This isn't a topic discussed much but Opti-Coat's fabric and leather coatings are a great way to protect from spills and UV rays, each backed with a 5 year warranty.
Finished up with Opti-Glass Pro, giving resistance to rain, snow, and ice since the vehicle is kept outside all the time! All in all, making sure you protect your investment from as soon as you get it is the best way to save on costly corrections and repairs in the future. Thanks Jeremy and Tiff!

"Bury me with my fathers in the cave which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite. Abraham and his wife Sarah, Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried there; I also buried Leah there." – Jacob (Genesis 49:29-31)
I always felt sorry for Leah — the wife not chosen, always losing in a rivalry with her sister over the affections of her husband.
Then there's this verse.
The cave where Jacob wanted to be buried was significant because it was the first place in "promised land" his people actually owned — a stake in the ground, so to speak, of things to come. There the faithful were buried as a statement that they belonged and as a place of honor.
We notice it wasn't Rachel but Leah so honored by Jacob. It points to a loving relationship prior to her passing. There, beside his first wife, Jacob chose to await the change.
Relationships heal and just because they go through rocky times, faith, forgiveness, perseverance make a difference.

Madest Quotes
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: / And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: / And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. - Bible
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? / Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: / Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. - Bible
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? / Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? / But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. - Bible

Hi, excellent! Is there a typo in your formula for Germany,
vector(Paris) — vector(France) + vector(Berlin)
Shouldn't it be as follows?
vector(France) — vector(Paris) + vector(Berlin)

I think the blog post is great, congrats! I find the idea of the dot product really clever.
Here are a couple of suggestions, several easy resources that you could use as tools:
Concerning point 1: you assume that the n most frequent words are likely spelled correctly, which is a reasonable assumption, however you could just use the subset of most frequent words which appear in a dictionary.
Concerning point 2: when gathering misspellings, you assume that the 10 closest items to the vector sum are misspellings. However, you could easily treat those as candidates, and check whether they are actually misspellings by using some string distance between the candidate and the initial word (such as Levenshtein edit distance, or similar). That way you would also not need to limit yourself to 10, but could get a large number of candidates and only retain the most likely.
Well spotted! So much for my careful proof read…
On the second point, that is roughly what I've done in the code: look at edit distance (but only from 10 neighbours) and reject anything that requires more than 2 edits. You also need to reject plurals and different endings for verbs, so I've written a bit of hacky code to get this done. I'll add a few words to clarify in the blog.
On the first point, I completely agree, using an existing word list would have been more sensible. With hindsight I'm not sure why I didn't.
@er214 this is great! Minor things:
Thanks @jeremy!
Some more fun results.
Given that the misspellings phenomenon looks like it's driven by differences in the distributions in the source data, I wondered if you might be able to do other transformations. In particular, could you create a transformation vector to turn my turgid businesslike writing into flowery, poetic prose. Someone responded to Jeremy's tweet wondering if you could build a transformation to make you sound smarter. Well, in a round about sort of way, it looks like you can.
Those who use long tricky words do tend always to use them, whereas people like me with a more limited vocabulary don't often use 'resplendent' or 'supercilious' in our writing. If this rarefied vocabulary only crops up frequently in particular sources, then it will probably be in a different bit of the vector space.
So, I've tried building a transformation (a pretentiousness transformation?) by taking the average between pairs of words that mean roughly the same thing, but one of them is souped-up. For example,
('impoverished', 'poor'),
('diffident', 'shy'),
('congenial', 'agreeable'),
('droll', 'witty'),
('valiant', 'brave'),
('servile', 'dutiful')
And so on. The resulting transformation vector shares characteristic spikes in 2 dimensions with the spelling vector, but not in the way you might expect. The 'souping-up' direction is the same as the misspelling direction. I think this is because the 'best spelled' end of the spelling direction is based on business news sources, which tend to stick to fairly straightforward language.
To generate interesting 'souped-up' alternatives for words I've applied the transformation (after chopping off these spikes it shares with the misspelling vector, otherwise we start creating misspellings), taken the nearest neighbours, and then removed from this set the nearest neighbours of the un-transformed query word. This just gives you better results. For example, if we use the word 'give',
It doesn't always work, often giving you rubbish, but here are few examples of the options this method gives you:
|fancy sounding alternatives
|fusty, foul-smelling, odiferous, odorous, malodorous, fetid, putrid, reeking, mildewy
|comical, droll, hilariously, humourous, ironical, irreverent, sardonic, witty
|adipose, carbohydrate, cholesterol, corpulent, rotund, triglyceride
|adroit, artful, astute, cleverness, deft, erudite, shrewd
|monograph, scholarly, treatise, tome, textbook, two-volume, nonfiction
|boisterous, cacophonous, clamorous, deafening,ear-splitting,resounded,sonorous,strident
Oh my, what you have done…
Actually perhaps some good can come of this - what if you created a "pretentiousness score" for a document based on this? Then averaged that across articles from writers in (for instance) the NY Times?
Awesome post @er214. The idea to use an initial transformation vector to find more candidates and then revise the transformation vector looks like a cool example of semi-supervised learning.
I was wondering if looking at difference between fasttext and ULMFit's wiki word embeddings will show what changes language model brings about. Any ideas ?
This is very cool, @er214! Thanks a lot for going the distance and writing this up! I'll link to your post in the next NLP newsletter!
Great write-up.
An example of one of the many reasons I recommend fast.ai forums as the best online DL community. Where else do original ideas like your's get highlighted and published this quickly, especially when they spawn from what can at best be considered a loosely related question.
This is AWESOME work. I will cite it next week in a lightning talk on embeddings I'm giving.
You might also be interested in this paper on formality in language:
Among other things, it gives a formula for a formality score of a document
F = (noun frequency + adjective freq. + preposition freq. + article freq.
– pronoun freq. – verb freq. – adverb freq. – interjection freq. + 100)/2
This might be useful to you someday in a loss function. (I know pretty good part-of-speech taggers exist, but I don't know what state of the art is.)
BTW, my personal belief, based on careful thought and not backed by research, is that formality is directly related to how easy it is for the audience to ask clarifying questions. Academic papers? Hard to ask questions (especially pre-email). Face-to-face speech? Really easy.
The ease of asking clarifying questions can be influenced by social status or rules, not just logistics. An audience with The Queen? Socially awkward to ask her questions. A court appearance? Difficult to ask questions of the judge.
Editorial comments on the post:
I realized one way you could use the formality score would be make a better graph of "spelling correctness" vs. formality – your news vs. IMDB graph. While all (almost all?) of the news corpus will be formal, the IMDB corpus is going to be really variable. You will have some commentators carefully – pedantically even – formulating responses with exquisite attention to precise language, and other readers just hacking sumthin' 2gether, ykwim?
Check out nmslib. It's a little easier to install/use and if you're not using it on GPU then it's faster than faiss.
You are really creative!
Could this be used to create more understandable variants of inscrutable texts?
For example, a layman's version of some legal document, or of slang-heavy lyrics?
A quick update on the Pretentiator:
I've tried scoring a few articles from different sources all relating to Trump's brilliant handling of the summit with North Korea. Results as follows - in ascending order of linguistic flair!
|New York Times
|Washington Post
|New Yorker
|Financial Times
I wasn't expecting the FT and Reuters to feature at the top of this leader-board. I think its probably has something to do with the tiny sample size (1 article), which is then skewed by certain quotes within the text.
As a further test I've tried it on a very reliable source of wordy prose - the London Review of Books (something my more learned friends enjoy). A random article from here scored a whopping 0.089, so I guess the measure does work a bit.
By the way, the score is the average per word score above a certain threshold, i.e. it is just measuring the average frequency of particularly high scoring words.

Good to hear from you @sermakarevich. I was just looking over your toxic notebook a few days ago … good stuff.
@sermakarevich Regarding toxic comments competition: I had the impression that good end result was heavily dependent on preprocessing and not so much on the actual nn model. Can you comment on that? Did you experiment of how big of an impact was made by prep step vs model? Thank you for sharing you work! Really appreciate, I was struggling with this competition myself also

Every month we will spotlight several members of our current HCLA class. In this month's issue, we would like you to meet Natasha Robinson, Patrick Propst, Greg Sorvig and Kelly Barton.
What is your education and work history?
I attended Anderson University and I've worked at Prevail for 9 years.
How long have you lived or worked in Hamilton County?
I have lived in Hamilton County my entire life.
Tell us about your family.
My husband and I grew up down the road form one another and rode the same school bus to school. We welcomed our first child, Raigan into the world on November 30, 2017.
What is the last book (or favorite) that you read?
Where the Sidewalk Ends is my favorite and I'm reading to my daughter too!
What is your favorite movie or tv show?
American Ninja Warrior ( I want to be on the show!)
Tell us something about yourself that few people know or would expect.
I love heavy lifting. My entire week revolves around my gym schedule, but I'm not into body building competitions.
What is your education and work history?
School of Hard knocks and my work history is to work smarter not harder. Just kidding. I have a BA in Christian Ministries from Anderson University. I have worked at Faith Community church for nearly 14 years. They just haven't figured out how to fire me. I worked the first 7 as Youth and Family Pastor, and Lead Pastor since 2011.
How long have you lived or worked in Hamilton County?
I have worked and lived in HC for nearly 14 years for both.
Tell us about your family.
My wife Kami and I have been married 16 years. We met and dated off and on through college. Ok, fine, I broke up with her four times and came crawling back every time. Yes, I'm a slug. We have three beautiful kids, they take after their mom. Jada is 13, she is our oldest, and only daughter. She's in 8th grade at NEMS. She plays violin in the orchestra, and is learning guitar, and keyboard. She also swims. She's got a heart for people, and she's awkward and silly and perfectly fine being so. Asher is 12. He's in 7th grade at NEMS. He's a runner. So he's on the Cross Country and Track teams for the school, and in Body In Training. He plays the sax – both alto and tenor. He's in Boy Scouts, he loves adventure, camping, jumping on the trampoline with friends, and doing what's right…because you should. Hines is our youngest. He is in 5th grade at Stony Creek Elementary. He is…well…he is Hines. He goes by the beat of a different drummer. He loves his down time, jumping off diving boards at the pool, hanging with friends, and our dog, Brutus. Hines likes to jump, flip, twist, run, skip, and just play. We love to hike in the mountains of Colorado, and dip or toes into the beaches when we can. And when we can't do that, we love hosting friends at our house for dinners, serving with our church in the community, or walking around in Downtown Noblesville.
What is your favorite restaurant in Hamilton County?
We go to El Palenque on 32 across from Hardees in Noblesville, the most. Come on, who doesn't have their favorite Mexican restaurant? We love the staff, and the food. I don't have a favorite dish – there are too many good ones to go with. Pass the chips and salsa, please. Oh and if you like a little kick, but not too much…ask them for the Salsa Verde.
What is your favorite movie or tv show?
So if I want to laugh, I watch The Man Who Knew Too Little. It stars Bill Murray who thinks he is in an interactive murder mystery show. In actuality, he is involved in a real-life international Cold War spy operation. It's hilarious. If I want all the feels, I watch Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle in Reign Over Me. It's a post 9/11 movie about a man who lost his family in the attacks and his struggle to find purpose, meaning, forgiveness, and community in this "new" world. Grab the tissues. Oh and it has a killer soundtrack.
Tell us something about yourself that few people know or would expect.
I collect PEZ. Well, actually, people give me PEZ and I hold onto them…the PEZ, not the people (although I am a hugger). So when I went to college my mom gave me a care package that had a couple of PEZ. I left them on my desk. Folks would stop in my room and ask me if I collected PEZ. I would tell them no, but they would still go out and buy me PEZ. Over the years, I have been given probably over 1000 PEZ. I have held on to them, and they are on display in my office. I love getting new sets, or unique older models. They're a great conversation starter.

What is your favorite thing to do or location in Hamilton County?
I always enjoy visiting the Great American Songbook Foundation office and archives at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

I have taken great interest in and truly admire Fred (Mister) Rogers and Frederick Douglass.
What is your favorite movie or tv show?
I'm a huge Star Wars nerd!

What is your favorite thing to do or location in Hamilton County?
We love to bike/walk/run on the Monon and attend the Farmers Market on Saturdays.
What is the last book (or favorite) that you read?
Lead True by Dr. Jeff Thompson. He is the previous CEO I worked for in Wisconsin.

I am inspired by being able to give back. I like to help people which is probably why I am drawn to healthcare. I like to be able to remove barriers so people can do their work. It inspires me to see how each and every day patients come to us at the most vulnerable times in their lives, trust us and allow us to care for them!
Tell us something about yourself that few people know or would expect.
I ran my first ½ marathon 4 years ago just to prove I could do it! I was married twice to the same man, never divorced, 1 year apart in 2 different states.

It took a week for Japan's Suidobashi Heavy Industries to respond to the challenge of the American MegaBots guys. They accepted the duel in a video message.
A week ago MegaBots released a video challenging Japanese Suidobashi Heavy Industries to duel of giant robots. "You have a giant robot, we have a giant robot - we have a duty to the science fiction lovers of this world to fight them to the death."
The robot battle will be of MegaBots Mark II against Suidobashi's Kuratas. The fight will take place in a year from now. Both robots need modifications to fight in one on one combat.
Suidobashi accepted the challenge but wants a melee combat and no guns. Suidobashi wants a hand-to-hand robot fight. It is not clear yet if MegaBots will agree to this. They are proud of their big guns.
This giant robot fight should be an awesome geek fest. We will keep an eye on the developments. In the recent DARPA robot challenge a South Korean robot beat the American and Japanese robots. The fight between MegaBots and Suidobashi is completely open at this point despite the size difference. The MegaBot is much bigger, heavier and is controlled by two people, almost like in the movie Pacific Rim.
