Hurricanes picked to finish fifth in ACC
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — The Steve Payne era is set to officially get underway at Tennessee Tech this weekend as the Golden Eagles prepare to open the 2011-12 season with a 6 p.m. CST tip Friday at Miami (Fla.).
In addition to debuting a first-year head coach, the Golden Eagles will put a team on the floor which returns four starters and 87 percent of its scoring from a squad that advanced to the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship game a season ago.
Payne was promoted from his post as associate head coach in March, replacing the retiring Mike Sutton, who he had worked under at Tech since 2002.
Friday's game features not just one head coaching debut, but two, as former George Mason chief Jim Larranaga will coach his first game at the helm of the Hurricanes.
Fans can view a live web stream at OVCSports.TV and can listen over the telephone via Teamline by calling 216-502-3200 and entering TTU's team code of 0654.
Miami owns a 3-0 record over the Golden Eagles in the all-time series, but all three games have been hotly contested. Miami claimed a 67-59 victory in 2004-05 in Coral Gables and won in a high-scoring 111-101 affair in 1989. The first game of the series was played back in 1947 in the postseason NAIB Sectional. Miami took a 55-51 victory.
Tech returns its top three leading scorers from 2010-11 in senior guards Kevin Murphy and Zac Swansey and junior Jud Dillard. Murphy, the OVC Preseason Player of the Year and a first-team selection last season, averaged 17.0 points per game, while Dillard poured in 11 per contest and Swansey scored 9.7 while also dishing out 6.4 assists per game to rank seventh in NCAA Division I in the category.
The Golden Eagles are picked to finish second in the OVC in the league's preseason poll while Murphy and Swansey were both all-league selections. Tech finished 20-13 a season ago and went 12-6 in conference play, finishing fourth. The Golden Eagles then advanced to the championship game of the OVC Tournament and earned a bid to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
Like the Golden Eagles, Miami also returns its top three offensive producers from 2010-11 in senior guard Malcolm Grant, a preseason All-ACC selection, junior guard Durand Scott and junior center Reggie Johnson, who will miss the first part of the season after undergoing knee surgery over the summer.
Grant averaged 14.8 points per game while setting a school record for most games started in a season with 36 while Scott contributed 13.6 points per outing. Johnson came up just shy of averaging a double-double, scoring 11.9 points and grabbing 9.6 rebounds per outing.
The Hurricanes were picked to finish fifth in the ACC in 2011-12 after going 21-15 overall and 6-10 in the conference a season ago, finishing ninth and playing in the NIT, where they advanced to the quarterfinals before falling to Alabama.
Miami has played one exhibition so far this season, winning 88-78 over Division II Florida Southern on Nov. 3. The Hurricanes trailed for most of the second half before tying the game with just under six minutes to go and finishing on an 18-8 run.
After facing Miami, Tech returns home to prepare for its home opener against NAIA Reinhardt on Tuesday, Nov. 15. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at Eblen Center.
Season tickets for the 2011-12 Golden Eagle home schedule are currently on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center, or by calling (931) 372-3940.

Jan. 18, 2008
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - TK Erwin, a former team captain of the UC Santa Barbara men's swim team, and his girlfriend Rachel are one of three teams that have advanced to the finale episode of the 12th season of "The Amazing Race". On Sunday night, the final episode of the reality program will air on CBS and the winners of the one million dollar grand prize will be revealed.
Erwin, the Gaucho men's team captain during the 2005-06 season, set a school record in the 200 backstroke during his junior campaign with a time of 1:47.14. The record has since been broken by teammate Chris Good. He was a four-year letterwinner for the Gauchos and was also an All-Big West All-Academic team honoree and Golden Eagle Award winner.
"The Amazing Race" is a show that features 11 teams of two people that have preexisting relationships. Each team is competing for a prize of $1 million. This season, the race has spanned the globe from Ireland to Croatia and the teams have traveled more than 30,000 miles and crossed multiple continents in just 28 days. Erwin and Rachel have survived 11 eliminations and are currently in second place heading into the race's last leg.
The finale episode is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20 on CBS. For more information, visit www.cbs.com.

This article presents our experience on setting up a mod_perl-based server on a VPS. The article also touches upon the utility of mod_proxy in this context, and that of mod_deflate in general. Using the right technologies will not only keep hosting costs under control, but also reduce them when deployed correctly.
First, the disclaimer: this article is merely for informational purposes. The techniques and tools, while proven to work for us, may not work in your particular case. You are free to try them at your own risk. Furthermore, this article is likely to be useful to those who host and manage their own websites and rely on Perl for CGI, or those resellers who provide Perl CGI applications to their clients, potentially sharing them among the clients.
For the unfamiliar, mod_perl and mod_cgi are two ways to run Perl scripts/applications on a web server. mod_perl is much more efficient, as it keeps a Perl interpreter in memory. Depending on the setup, precompiled scripts and modules may also be resident in the memory. mod_cgi, on the other hand, invokes the Perl interpreter on every request, loading and compiling the scripts and modules for execution. Therefore, it is much slower. Benchmark tests have shown mod_perl to be anywhere between 10 to 100 or more times as fast as mod_cgi (results may vary based on your application; see Practical mod_perl (O'Reilly, 2003).
Our Problem and First Solution
We migrated our sites from shared hosting to a VPS a while ago. The shared host did not allow mod_perl, only mod_cgi. In spite of it being a very powerful hosting system (one of the largest providers of its kind), the CGI applications were becoming heavy for it, and we suffered from slow response. Additionally, there was no shell access, which severely restricted our ability to monitor/test the various parts of the system. The obvious choice was to get to a platform where we had better control and could use the power of mod_perl.
We opted for a CPanel-based system to create and manage the few domains we had. With the system initially running under mod_cgi, the 15-minute load factor (referred to as "load factor" from now on) reached values greater than 10 during peak time. About 10 percent of our Perl application gets used 90 percent of the time. To run everything with the mod_perl Registry handler, which caches precompiled scripts into memory, would have been an overkill. Instead, we opted to run the highly used 10 percent of the application with mod_perl Registry, and left the rest alone under mod_cgi.
The reason for this was two-fold: Apache processes that use mod_perl Registry can grow very quickly in size as you cache more pre-compiled scripts. Keeping 100 percent of the system resident when only 10 percent of it is used 90 percent of the time didn't make sense. Second, our programs were more than 80,000 lines of Perl code. We had written them for mod_cgi, and it would take a while to port and test all of them to run under mod_perl. (On a more technical note, PerlRun was a possible replacement for mod_cgi, but that didn't work in our case at that time, due to reasons that are beyond the scope of this article.)
After transferring 90 percent of our CGI requirements to mod_perl Registry, the server load came under control. From peak time values of 10-plus, the load factor dropped to below 1, even though we were still serving 10 percent with mod_cgi. It seemed like a very good solution.
However, like spring, it didn't last very long. As our overall traffic grew, both the parts of the application running under mod_perl and those running under mod_cgi, grew. We have reason to believe that the mod_cgi portion may have had a larger growth. The result was that the load factor started rising. Over a period of several months, the increase was sufficient to take it beyond 5 at our peak times. The situation again was getting difficult for the server.
A Better Solution
This time, we wanted a longer-lasting solution. Practical mod_perl has excellent treatment of deploying mod_perl, as well as server setup and administration strategies. We came to a conclusion that we need to run two instances of Apache httpd, one to serve plain objects (static HTML, images, CSS, JS, etc.) and one to handle the Perl application. We followed the book's nomenclature, calling the first httpd_docs and the second httpd_perl.
httpd_docs listens to port 80 like any other web server. We also configured it with mod_proxy to act as a transparent proxy between the world and httpd_perl. httpd_perl itself runs on port 8000 and is not directly accessible from the outside.
This setup offers many advantages. In the previous setup, all the Apache processes ran with mod_perl, which meant that the Perl interpreter and parts of our application were present in memory for each and every Apache process. That, in turn, meant that even a request as simple as that for a 300-byte image used a large Apache process, instead of a much smaller Apache process. Moreover, mod_proxy also buffers the output, which allows httpd_perl to let httpd_docs carry out the mundane task of transferring data to clients with slow connections, and itself be free and ready to serve another Perl request.
With our newly specialized setup, we opted for a VPS without any control panel. Another factor in this decision was that we have very few domains, and now we were comfortable managing them without any control panel. We think that it is possible to set this up using CPanel also.
On the new VPS, which already came with Apache 2.2.0 and Perl 5.8.0, we built Apache 2.2.2, customized to our needs, in the two flavors (one with mod_proxy, and the other with mod_perl version 2.0). Prior to this, we also downloaded and built version 5.8.8 of Perl. After configuring both httpd_docs and httpd_perl, it was time to bring on the application.
On this occasion, we went with full blown mod_perl for the more heavily used scripts in the 10 percent part of the application that runs under mod_perl, and made them into Apache Registry handlers. It implies that not only is the Perl interpreter loaded at the startup of the web server, but all the handlers are also preloaded. They also share more memory this way and are also faster. For the rest of our application, we are now able to use PerlRun, which uses preloaded modules, and only loads and compiles the scripts as necessary. Our website is available in the form of subdomains, configured as Apache virtual hosts, in about half dozen languages. This setup made it possible to share the entire Perl application among the virtual hosts--rather like an application that a shared hosting provider may make available to their clients.
On an unrelated note, we also deployed mod_deflate on httpd_docs, the plain Apache, to compress the data before sending it to clients who accept compressed data.
Our Results
In the new setup, we have chosen to run a much larger number of httpd_docs than httpd_perl--about five times as many. This basically fits the usage pattern of our site and keeps the memory requirement to an optimum level. The load factor on the server now is nearly zero most of the time, and below 0.2 almost all the time. Our benchmark tests have revealed that the server can easily serve 8 to 10 times as many requests with the load factor still keeping around the 0.2 to 0.3 mark. We would have very likely hit the bandwidth limitations before we hit CPU or RAM limitations with this setup, but the deployment of mod_deflate has reduced our bandwidth usage by 40 to 50 percent.
Our experience has shown that using the power of computing can keep hosting costs to a minimum. To be able to increase the number of customers served 10-fold without bringing costs up is really cool, if I may say so. Even better, it can often translate directly into a similar increase in revenue. In the short term, we could, in fact, reduce our hosting costs by downgrading our package to a more suitable level until the expected growth happens. Of course, it goes without saying that the improvement achieved depends on how good or bad the starting point was. In our case, we do believe that the Perl scripts were well written, but not setting them up properly to run under mod_perl was the killer.
Our next step is to increase the use of Ajax to further reduce our bandwidth and CPU usage, and, perhaps, open up the possibility of increasing the customer base another 10-fold without increasing costs.

Some Clever New Ideas for Birthday Treats for School! – No cupcakes here!!
Busy Bee received a reader request for some fresh ideas for school birthday treats! I'm glad to answer this request and have a few ideas that will have you looking like the trickiest mom in town!
Regardless of what you end up sending into class, I always cut the ingredient labels off of each food package used in the recipe or the recipe itself and send it into school with the snack. Food allergies are so common today that you can't be too careful. This way the teacher can have the school nurse check for any questionable ingredients.
Cookie Pizzas
- 1 roll (18 oz.) Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies. (I think that you could use the chocolate chip cookie dough as an alternative.)
- ½ c. creamy peanut butter. (You could also use regular icing instead of peanut butter.)
- 1 ½ c. assorted candies for toppings. (No hard candy.) Try raisins, M&M's, candy corn, chocolate chips, or mini marshmallows.
- ¼ c. vanilla ready to spread frosting from a 16 oz. can.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12 inch round pizza pan with foil and grease foil. Cut cookie dough into ¼ inch-thick slices. Arrange in the pan and press to form a crust.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Use foil to lift the crust from the pan. Remove foil and transfer crust to a serving dish.
- Spread peanut butter over the crust. Sprinkle evenly with candies.
- In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave frosting on high 10 to 15 seconds, until thin and drizzly. Drizzle over the cookie pizza and cut into wedges.
An alternative: the bakery department at my local supermarket sells chocolate chip cookie cakes that they will decorate however you'd like, including Happy Birthday messages!
Crispy Granola Cones
- 1 ½ c. granola style whole grain cereal
- 1 ½ c. colorful crisped-rice cereal
- 4 c. mini marshmallows
- 1 ½ T. butter
- 10 small wafer or sugar ice cream cones
- Combine cereals in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Add cereal to marshmallows and butter and mix to coat.
- Transfer mixture to an 8" x 12" glass baking pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Mold cereal into ten 2" balls. Store balls in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, lightly press each ball into one ice cream cone.
- 24 – 36 flat bottomed ice cream cones
- ¾ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 t. flour
- 1 package (8 oz.) cake mix
- Vanilla or chocolate frosting
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place each ice cream cone upright in muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, stir together chocolate chips and flour.
- Prepare cake batter as directed on the package, stir in chips mixture.
- Fill each cone ½ full with batter.
- Bake 25 – 30 minutes.
- Cool completely. Frost and garnish with sprinkles.
Instant Ice Cream Sandwiches
- ½ pint vanilla ice cream, softened
- 16 store bought crisp chocolate wafer cookies
- ½ c. finely chopped peppermint candies, or Heath Bars
- Spoon a heaping teaspoon of ice cream onto half of the cookies.
- Cover with the remaining cookies and press gently.
- Pat the chopped candies onto the ice cream.
- Wrap the sandwiches in wax paper and freeze until ready to eat.
Makes 8 sandwiches.
Prehistoric Pudding
- 1 pkg. (16 oz.) chocolate sandwich cookies
- 2 c. cold milk
- 1 pkg. (4 oz.) Jell-O chocolate flavor instant pudding and pie filling
- 1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip topping, thawed
- 8 – 10 (7 oz.) clear plastic cups
- Prehistoric decorations like clean plastic dinosaurs, gummy or candy dinosaurs, jelly beans for dinosaur eggs, and malted milk balls for boulders
- Crush cookies in food processor or in zip lock bag with a rolling pin.
- Pour milk into large bowl.
- Add pudding mix and beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in whipped topping and ½ of the crushed cookies.
- Place 1 T. crushed cookies into each cup.
- Fill cups about ¾ full with pudding mixture.
- Top with remaining crushed cookies.
- Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.
- Garnish with candy and toys.
Some other fun ideas include:
- A bagel bar – order mini bagels from you local shop, pre-slice them and bring them in with butter, cream cheese and jam. Teachers LOVE this low-sugar snack!
- Fill clear plastic cups with Jello – drop a fun plastic toy into the Jello and chill to harden. Think blue Jello with ocean animals, green with dinosaurs. Just make sure that you wash the toys well before using them!
- Fruit kabobs made on colorful plastic straws.
- Think about your child's favorite food and don't feel obligated to bring in a snack from the dessert category!

BOSTON — The city moved ahead Sunday with plans to slowly reopen the six-block area surrounding the Boston Marathon finish line that has been cordoned off as a crime scene since twin bombs killed three people and wounded more than 180 others.
Mayor Thomas Menino said once the scene was released by the FBI, city officials will begin a multi-step process for reopening the area to the public, including environmental testing, debris removal and assessing the safety of buildings in the area.
Investigators have been painstakingly collecting evidence at the scene since the attack Monday.
"Today is the time to move forward, move the city forward," Menino said Sunday at a news conference near the site of the bombing.
No precise timetable was given for reopening the normally bustling stretch of Boylston Street, though Ed Davis, the city's police commissioner, said the process could begin within a couple of days.
Menino said one of the city's top priorities in formulating the plan was respect for the victims and everyone else who was impacted by the bombing. To that end, the city announced it would temporarily relocate a makeshift memorial that was created just beyond the crime scene to Copley Square Park.
As a first step, city workers on Sunday moved the items left in the memorial — including flowers, notes and running shoes — to an adjacent sidewalk.
The city also planned to put large message boards in the area to allow people to record their own reflections on the tragedy.
The Boston Police Department said it would return any personal items found at the scene that were not being kept as evidence in the FBI investigation.
The city also planned to open a "mobile city hall" to help business owners.
In another step toward a return to normalcy for Boston-area commuters, transportation officials on Sunday reopened the Copley exit ramp off the Massachusetts Turnpike, which had been closed since the attack.

Advancements In Active Grasping
During his internship at Willow Garage, University at Southern California student Jon Binney worked on improving the way robots grasp. He taught them how to improve their knowledge of where and what an object is by feeling for it with their grippers.
Robot grasping is often poorly coupled with object recognition. Typically, an object recognition algorithm is run to find the "most likely" object identity (shape) and pose, then it must execute a grasp motion relative to that pose. This approach is unstable because the pose provided by object recognition often has some amount of error (which is further exacerbated by imperfect calibration between the robot's cameras and grippers), which can cause the grasp to fail, and also because object recognition sometimes misidentifies the object entirely.
To overcome this, Jon implemented a system that uses the pose provided by object recognition as the center of a distribution of possible object poses and also considers other hypotheses for the object's shape. As the robot attempts to grasp the object, it uses measurements from tactile sensors on the gripper as well as the robot's ability to sense objects, to update the distribution over object poses and shapes. This includes information about where the object is and where the object is not through tactile feeling. If at any point the current grasp being executed seems unlikely to work (based on the updated object pose distribution), the robot backs off and picks a new grasp to try.
Code created for the project can be downloaded here.

B's Recall Miller on an Emergency Basisby Staff Writer / Boston Bruins
Boston, MA - Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today, December 2, that the team has recalled defenseman Kevan Miller from the Providence Bruins on an emergency basis (American Hockey League).
Miller has skated in 15 games with the Providence Bruins this season and has registered one goal and two assists with 35 penalty minutes. The blueliner has played the last three seasons (2010-2013) with the Providence Bruins, skating in 150 games, notching six goals and 37 assists.
Miller skated in three games with Boston earlier this season after earning his first career NHL recall on November 20, making his NHL debut on November 21 against the St. Louis Blues at TD Garden.
Prior to joining the P-Bruins in 2010, Miller played at the University of Vermont for four seasons from 2007-2010. In his collegiate career, Miller appeared in 144 games for the Catamounts and amassed 5-25=30 totals with 97 penalty minutes.
The 6'2'', 210-pound native of Los Angeles, California was signed by Boston as a free agent on October 21, 2011.

Moore got dealt and I'm disappointed there in a way because he was our only good man on face-offs.
Bear in mind the Pen's attendance # there is partially because our building is incredibly small too... Their 16,000 number is a little deceiving because of how small the building is compared to most other NHL arenas anymore.
With respect to Jeff's attendance numbers (well, the NHL's numbers), I'd love to see those broken down to paying attendance versus giveaways/discounts/promotions (buy one get one free).

Robert F. Young helped to found linux distributor Red Hat Linux in 1993 and is now offering to help Apple bypass the trademark infringement lawsuit brought by online computer retailer, TigerDirect.
Robert owns a Canadian football team named the Tiger-Cats (they were originally called the Tigers, established in 1869) and has offered to license their Tiger trademark to Apple in an attempt to short circuit TigerDirect's claim to the word Tiger by about 130 years.
TigerDirect claims that Apple's use of the word Tiger has knocked their site out of the top spots in popular search engines — TigerDirect is still above the 10.4 site on Google and Tiger Woods had better prepare for a lawsuit if MSN's results are any indication. TigerDirect has had trademarks on the words "Tiger", "TigerDirect" and "TigerSoftware" since 1996. Young thinks the whole lawsuit is "codswallop" and is betting:
"136 years ago we were called The Tigers..If anyone owns the exclusive rights to the word "tiger" with that much history and tradition, it's gotta be us."
Past Stories: Apple v. TigerDirect court documents uncovered, TigerDirect sues Apple for trademark infringement.

There are few textures lighter than a steamed sponge pudding and I am rather partial to it. As Spring seems to be finally upon us the opportunities for steamed puds are dwindling therefore I had to sneak this one in before it was too late!
This photo shows the light, open texture of a steamed sponge:
What I liked about this recipe was that it uses the rhubarb in two ways: some is steamed with the sponge and the rest is lightly stewed to serve with the pud. It created a rather colourful dish.
The pinkness of forced rhubarb always pleases me – it's such a strong and happy colour.
I tried to keep the lightly stewed rhubarb a little tarter than I normally would in order that it contrasted with the sweet sponge and custard. It was a really nice combination as the acidity cut through the sweetness.
500g forced rhubarb
Caster sugar, according to taste
For the pudding:
3 tablespoons golden syrup
100g unsalted butter
100g caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
100g self raising flour
50ml milk
How to make:
- Start by stewing the rhubarb: cut the rhubarb into small chunks and place in a large pan over a low-medium heat.
- Add about 4 tablespoons of sugar and stir. It will take a few minutes for the rhubarb to start collapsing.
- When the rhubarb is soft, but not totally collapsed remove about 5-6 tablespoons of chunks and put to one side.
- Taste the remaining rhubarb and add sugar according to your taste.
- After approximately 10 minutes the rhubarb will be soft and partially collapsed. Remove from the heat and put to one side. I like it with a few chunks left in it.
- Now prepare the pudding: grease a 1.5 litre pudding basin with butter.
- Place the chunks you removed from the stewed rhubarb into the bottom of the basin and cover with the golden syrup.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, vanilla and self raising flour.
- Beat in the milk.
- Spoon the batter into the basin carefully, so as not to dislodge the rhubarb. The basin will not be full as the pudding needs room to rise.
- In your steamer, ensure that you have enough boiling water to come halfway up the basin. I used a steamer basket, so my sponge didn't sit in the water. Both ways work just as well.
- Cover the top of the basin with a centrally pleated piece of baking paper, and another of foil.
- Secure with string and steam for approximately 1 ½ hours. A little more won't cause any harm.
- Remove the foil and paper and run a knife around the edge of the pudding before turning out.
- Turn the pudding out onto a lipped plate, in order to ensure that you don't lose any of the juices.
- In a saucepan gently warm the stewed rhubarb.
- Serve the pudding straight away with hot custard and the stewed rhubarb.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Anyone going to LaVentana this winter?
I am thinking about going to laventana this winter but will probably be solo. So I was wondering if anyone else was going to split some costs. Like cab fair from la paz to la ventana. Airfairs that i have been scoping are less than $400. I planned on staying at baja joes $30 a night for a bunk bed. I was thinking 10 days for the trip.
I emailed baja joes and they said that november is the best time to go. less crowds and good wind. I was thinking more around the middle of winter when i will be really jonesn' for some session time.
Is anybody planning on going or interested in going?
You will love it there. Joe and Angie are really fine hosts. By the time you pay for cabs to and from the LaPaz airport it may be cheaper overall to fly to Cabo and rent a car/drive. Then you're mobile for snorkeling, etc. while you're there. There's also killer hiking to the falls which requires a car, they'll fill you in. Also, there's adult entertainment in LaPaz (I've heard). :oops:
Go bigga'
I will be going to Maui this summer with my family, I know that Maui is kiteboarding mekka. Any sugestions on places that may be good for beginers. I would hate to cutoff some big pro dude and get my but kicked.
If you get the standard trade winds, the best place is upper Kanaha beach just up from Ka'a Point. Most people who are spooked about launching at Ka'a point where all the pro's ride usually launch just upwind and it all works out OK. It's not likely during the summer that you'd get Kona-type winds which would dictate kiting at Kihei, but if you do, it's good there too. I think I posted some info about it here somewhere. Let me know as you get closer to going and I'll fill you in on all the info you'll need for the trip.

KNOXVILLE - Antonio "Tiny" Richardson has had Oct. 19 circled on his calendar for 354 days and counting.
Tennessee's big, talented left tackle long has anticipated his rematch with Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina's all-everything defensive end, since the likely No. 1 pick in April's NFL draft beat him inside, sacked Tyler Bray and forced a game-saving fumble in the Gamecocks' 38-35 win in Columbia, S.C., last October.
Already a fiery player on the field, Richardson surely will be amped up more for Saturday's rematch than for any other game he's played in his Tennessee career.
The trick for the Volunteers, particularly this week, is managing the junior's emotions and keeping them in check.
"Tiny and I have that conversation every week," Tennessee coach Butch Jones told the Times Free Press after Tuesday's practice. "Tiny's a great competitor, and he has great standards and expectations for himself. It gets back to our whole program philosophy of a snap-and-clear mentality.
"You can't let the last play negatively affect you, or if you have success, the same thing: You can't let it affect the next play and the next play or the play you had three snaps ago affect you. When we talk about snap-and-clear, there's a meaning behind that. We talk about that with Tiny each and every day.
"But when you're a competitor, you want to play against the best of the best, and their defensive front's one of the best defensive fronts we're going to face."
The rematch between the two players became a talking point at SEC media days in July, when Clowney said what he remembered most about facing Richardson was that "he is the best at holding and getting away with it." Richardson's response the following day: "I have enough motivation."
Richardson was emotional following the meeting last season, when he left the field with a bloody nose and was jeered by some South Carolina fans as he walked off. Earlier this season, he got heated at the end of Tennessee's win against South Alabama and went to the locker room before any other player after Jones got in his face and yelled at him.
Though Jones and the Vols' coaches will talk to the 6-foot-6, 325-pounder about maintaining his poise, the task on the field Saturday falls to the players around him, particularly the rest of Tennessee's offensive line.
"I know he's excited for this game, but he hasn't done anything extra or anything like that," said right tackle Ja'Wuan James, who's hoping for a couple of shots at blocking Clowney himself.
"It's definitely all our jobs as offensive linemen. You know your personnel. You know Tiny's a hyper, excited guy. He wants to get after it. If we see him getting loose or anything like that, whether it's James [Stone], Bull [Alex Bullard], Zach [Fulton], just talking to him and him responding to focus back in."
Added Jones: "We talk about it not just with Tiny, but we talk about having each other's back, and we always talk about being accountable to each other. This game is no different in terms of preparing our mindset or how we react. We do that every week."
Clowney has yet to make the impact he made last season, and he's faced public scrutiny and had his dedication to his team questioned. When South Carolina played Kentucky two weeks ago, Clowney told his coaches just before the game he was too hurt to play.
Steve Spurrier, the head coach who against Tennessee is 14-7 and 5-3 since going to South Carolina, clearly was frustrated after the game, but he said the following week the situation was handled poorly.
Clowney, who's followed up a 13-sack 2012 season with just two this year, started and made two tackles last week against Arkansas in South Carolina'a 52-7 trouncing.
"You have to make sure he's accounted for on every snap," Jones said, "but they also have great players around him."
Fulton said Richardson has been awaiting his second -- and final, though both players are only juniors -- shot at Clowney "probably since the game ended" a year ago, but Jones adamantly stated his opinion: "Too much is made of that."
Richardson would disagree with his coach, but he can't let his own adrenaline and drive to exact revenge for the one play Clowney beat him on a year ago to induce an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty or hurt his blocking technique this year.
"There's going to be a lot of money made between them two guys on that end of the line of scrimmage," tailback Rajion Neal said. "He should really just have fun. I would be looking forward to the challenge and just having fun."

August 19, 2011 — U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten on Wednesday rejected a request from the state of Kansas to block a temporary injunction that halts enforcement of a state law blocking federal family planning funding for Planned Parenthood, AP/WIBW reports (Hanna, AP/WIBW, 8/18).
Marten on Aug. 1 granted a request from Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri to temporarily block enforcement of a recently enacted state law that would require Kansas to allocate federal family planning funding to public health departments and hospitals, leaving no money for Planned Parenthood and similar groups.
The ruling orders the state to resume allocation of federal Title X family planning grants to Planned Parenthood clinics as it has for the last 25 years and as promised in the grant application Kansas submitted when requesting a five-year family planning grant (Women's Health Policy Report, 8/10).
Lawyers at the Kansas Attorney General's office have asked that Marten dismiss Gov. Sam Brownback (R) as the defendant, arguing that he is "clothed with absolute legislative immunity" and cannot be sued for actions "taken in the sphere of legitimate legislative activity." The state's lawyers also have requested that Marten dismiss the case all together.
Marten's judicial assistant said the judge would not comment on the pending case.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood President and CEO Peter Brownlie said the organization may ask the federal court to force the state to immediately release federal funds for the group's non-abortion services, the AP/Wichita Eagle reports. Brownlie said the organization thinks the state is not complying with the judge's order, noting that none of its clinics has received any state money since Marten's Aug. 1 ruling. "The state's refusal to comply with the court's order is rather remarkable," Brownlie said, adding that the organization is trying to decide next steps (Hanna, AP/Wichita Eagle, 8/18).

— A contingent of black lawmakers blocked a vote on Mayor Rahm Emanuel's watered-down proposal to impose tougher penalties for illegal gun possession, the latest example of a rift between the mayor and the African-American community.
The reversal came after the stage appeared to be set Thursday to approve one of Emanuel's top legislative priorities of the fall session. Sponsoring Rep. Mike Zalewski, D-Riverside, held a news conference where he predicted the latest incarnation of the bill involving mandatory minimum prison sentences would pass.
As the Illinois House came to order, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. gave the morning invocation and lawmakers dealt with a few routine matters. When the gun bill came up, Rep. Ken Dunkin, leader of the House Black Caucus, had used a surprise procedural maneuver requesting information on how much the measure would cost taxpayers.
It was enough to put off consideration. Speaker Michael Madigan quickly adjourned the House until January. "We were finished with our business," Madigan said afterward. The powerful Southwest Side Democrat said he did not know if the mayor's gun bill had enough votes to pass.
Later, African-American lawmakers voiced concerns that increased incarceration instead of rehabilitation would ill-serve a community beset by high unemployment, high rates of incarceration and few jobs for recently released inmates.
"If you're not investing in education, you're investing in prisons," said Rep. Jehan Gordon Booth, a Peoria Democrat, who added that black lawmakers also want violent criminals off the street.
The quick adjournment avoided a potentially fiery debate pitting African-American and Latino legislators against largely white Chicago-area and Downstate lawmakers, which would have put on display philosophical fissures among Democrats. It would have been the second time this week, following approval of gay marriage, that black lawmakers would have been asked to support a high-profile bill opposed by some of their constituents.
"Today was a day that we wanted to make sure that the sponsor and the mayor of Chicago (are) aware that we have a real problem" with this gun legislation, said Dunkin, who said crime fighting should not be done in a "piecemeal way."
By blocking the legislation, the lawmakers aligned themselves on the issue with a re-election seeking Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn rather than Emanuel. Quinn has sought more money for programs to rehabilitate first offenders and re-entry programs for inmates.
Emanuel, who had billed the legislation as a way to help crack down on gun violence that continues to plague city streets, decried what he called "political stunts" to derail it.
"Criminals are the only winners when procedural games are used to defer a bill that clearly has the necessary votes in both chambers of the General Assembly," the mayor said in a statement.
By blocking the bill, African-American lawmakers sent a significant message to Emanuel, who has seen dissatisfaction among black voters grow in his time as mayor. A Tribune poll in the spring found more African-American voters disapproved of Emanuel's job performance than approved — 48 percent to 40 percent. Emanuel has closed Chicago public schools, presided over a teachers strike and had difficulty getting a handle on violent crime that's made national headlines.
The mayor's bill originally would have required three-year mandatory sentences for first-time gun offenders. That was negotiated away, and the latest version of the bill would have kept a mandatory one-year sentence but prevented judges from using boot-camp as an alternative to imprisonment. As a result of that change, the politically powerful National Rifle Association backed the measure.
Still, opponents questioned if the latest version of the bill would do little more than give the mayor a political boost, particularly because it likely would not have taken effect until June 1. To take effect immediately, the measure would have required a supermajority of votes in the House and Senate, a tough hurdle.
Zalewski had argued that criminals change their behavior when they hear of tougher penalties, including stiffer sentences for repeat offenders, gang members and people with violent felonies on their rap sheets. For example, under the measure unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon who repeats the offense would carry a minimum sentence of four years in prison. That's one year longer than current law. In addition, inmates would have been required to serve 85 percent of their sentences. Current inmates are eligible for day-for-day "good time" that allows them to cut their time behind bars in half.
After the bill stalled, Zalewski accused some black lawmakers of resorting to a "parliamentary trick" and contended they showed an "unwillingness to have a debate about public policy, public safety."

Not to fundies, no.
No. Even when you can manage to shake their faith in a prescribed religion, they often just become universalist or deists. Sometimes the path to atheism, but not always.
And you will always those of blind faith that will make every excuse imaginable, regardless of evidence or contradiction. Facts and reason mean nothing to this type.
I suppose they would try to incorporate it into their belief system as a means of certifying it. Like Joseph Smith claiming Jesus went to America after he died and appeared to one of the lost tribes of Israel.
The new sect will say Jesus went to Sirius and encountered the Zenoobs.
That will be interesting. I always thought the Zenoobs were Hindu. As for Joseph Smith, don't the Mormons believe they each get their own planet?
No. Only if you are a temple mormon, which last I heard makes up less than 20% of all active mormons. Then you will (hopefully) make the celestial kingdom, and only by continued work and study (not immediately upon arrival) can you progress to godhood and THEN you can organize a planet. And with your eternally pregnant goddess wives, start to populate it with humans. Just a brief synopsis, mind you. It does get very detailed. As they say, the devil is in the details. lol. Be well.
Thanks for the insight.
What I think is interesting, is that Joseph Smith said there were men living on the moon, but the fact that it's been proven false doesn't seem to bother most mormons.
Yeah, and that they were app. all 6 ft. tall, and dressed in the "Quaker style", whatever that means. And Brigham Young said there were inhabitants on the sun.
Interesting thought. A number of sci fi stories include either religious themes or touch on religion - V, Battlestar Galactica is infused with religious wuwu, I think several species on Star Trek were religious. So at least in the minds of the fiction writers, religion and extraterrestrial life are not incompatible ideas. The Cylons on BG annoyed the hell out of be with their religious wuwu. Then the extracognitive route to finding earth.... that annoyed me too. Oh well.
Maybe, given how almost all societies have religions on earth, maybe something about becoming sentient has a religious stage. Maybe human brains are hard-wired for religion, and the relatively few atheists are mutants.
I liked Battlestar Galactica as a TV series, but it struck me as having a scientologist's agenda...
Actually the original Battlestar Galactica from the 70's was inspired by mormon theology. Glen Larson was a mormon. It was one reason I stayed in mormonism until my 20's, because it was science-fictiony (my word). There was once an article I read "Everything I know about Mormonism I learned from Battlestar Galactica". Can't remember who wrote it, but was pretty accurate. The re-imagined series drew from other sources also, but still had some of the more esoteric teachings of mormonism in it.

FINAL SCORE St Kilda 13.10 (88) v Hawthorn 18.15 (123)
A superb last quarter from the Hawks, who refused to allow another team to come back into a game they had led. They have structural and injury concerns, but at 3-3 remain in contention for a top four berth. St Kilda played with spirit, and would be greatly heartened by the efforts of Koschitzke, Simpkin and Riewoldt, but they lacked the precision of their opponent, and had too few ball winner sand ball carriers when the game was decided.
FINAL SCORE Sydney 14.10 (94) v Adelaide 15.9 (99)
Epic contest ends with the Swans deep inside 50 with the ball in the hands of Jarrad McVeigh. But the siren intervenes and the Crows have recorded a landmark win on the road in front of over 24,000 rabid Swans fans. Adelaide join Sydney at 5-1. Lewis Jetta announces himself as a significant talent with a breakout game. Adam goodes has hurt his hip after another brilliant game. The Crows prove their renaissance is not to be taken for rganted.
Q4 0.30 Sydney 14.10 (94) v Adelaide 15.9 (99)
Crucial mark to Dangerfield on the wing sets up forward thrust which seemingly ends with a goal to Johncock. But there is a video review of the kick from 12 metres out, and a behind is paid as the ball skimmed the post One mroe chance for Sydney.
Q4 1.38 Sydney 14.10 (94) v Adelaide 15.8 (98)
Jetta snap front and centre... just misses. Golden opportunity goes begging.
Q4 2.33 Sydney 14.9 (93) v Adelaide 15.8 (98)
Deep in Adelaide's forward line. Throw-in.
Q4 2.33 Sydney 14.9 (93) v Adelaide 15.8 (98)
Ball camped in crowded Sydney forward line, before the midfield pack moves Adelaide's way.
Q4 22 mins gone Sydney 14.8 (92) v Adelaide 15.8 (98)
End to end stuff at tthe SCG. Crows get caught out without a forward line after thrusting into defence, then Jetta kicks out on the full. Composure needed in frantic final minutes.
Q4 21 mins gone Sydney 14.8 (92) v Adelaide 15.8 (98)
Q4 5.27 St Kilda 13.7 (85) v Hawthorn 17.15 (117)
GOAL. Hawks. Hale. Strong contested mark at half forward from the quiet big man, whose major contribution perviously had been his hit-outs (28).
Q4 12 mins gone Sydney 14.8 (92) v Adelaide 15.7 (97)
Sydney, lit up by Lewis Jetta, again come back when they looked finished. Jetta 24 touches and a goal.
Q4 7.11 St Kilda 13.7 (85) v Hawthorn 16.15 (111)
GOAL. Saints. Milne. Great work from Koschitzke, who smothers a clearing kick, then handpasses to Milne, who rolls it home from close range.
Q4 8.30 St Kilda 12.7 (79) v Hawthorn 16.15 (111)
GOAL. Hawks. Puopolo. Rebound off Riewoldt lead on the wing started by Stratton and ended by Puopolo's bouncing snap from 25 metres. Dominant last term performance from the Hawks.
Q4 12 mins gone Sydney 12.7 (79) v Adelaide 15.7 (97)
Crows making a statement early in the last term. They have set the pace all night and have now reasserted their dominance. Walker 5 goals; Callinan, Petrenko 3.
Q4 11.11 St Kilda 12.7 (79) v Hawthorn 15.14 (104)
GOAL. Hawks. Franklin. Buddy gets away with a jumper pull on dempster which leaves him with nothing in front of him but the goalface. He dribbles it home for his 5th goal. Saints just not getting forward enough, and when they do, they are not delivering well enough to their forwards.
Q4 8 mins gone Sydney 12.7 (79) v Adelaide 14.7 (91)
Goodes off the ground hurt, and now subbed out, leaving the Swans without an effective target. No score this term for Swans, three goals to the Crows.
Q4 13.44 St Kilda 12.7 (79) v Hawthorn 14.14 (98)
GOAL. Hawks. Franklin. Long kick to the goal line, Buddy too strong and big one-out. Saints really missing the defensive and offensive contribution of the injured Sam Fisher.
Q4 14.49 St Kilda 12.7 (79) v Hawthorn 13.14 (92)
Incessant attack from Hawthorn, Saints just holding on, with all their players back.
INJURY UPDATE: Nathan Bock suffered a fractured right tibia during the opening term of the Gold Coast SUNS game against Fremantle at Metricon Stadium.
Bock will require surgery over the weekend to repair the damage and is expected to miss a substantial period of time.
Q4 3 mins gone Sydney 12.7 (79) v Adelaide 13.6 (84)
Walker's fifth, and Jaensch's second goal get the Crows back in front.
Q4 18.40 St Kilda 12.7 (79) v Hawthorn 13.12 (90)
Armitage drops a mark in the corridor which lets Hodge in. Savage set shot from 45 metres out floats left. Armitage is off the ground with a sore back after being caught in front of Hodge in a marking duel.
Q4 Sydney 12.7 (79) v Adelaide 11.6 (72)
THREE QUARTER TIME Sydney 12.7 (79) v Adelaide 11.6 (72)
Five goals to three that term for the Swans. Five goals to Goodes. They have gone inside-50 51 times to 33, but key forward Sam Reid (five touches) has been well held. Taylor Walker has booted four majors for the Crows, taking up the slack from Kurt Tippett (five touches, one goal).
THREE QUARTER TIME St Kilda 12.7 (79) v Hawthorn 13.11 (89)
Milne marks inside 50 just before the siren after good work from Milera. He can't play on, as he prefers, and his set shot drifts wide. Good comeback from the Saints after the Hawks looked set to run away with the game on the back of Rioli's theatrics. Surely the Hawks won't fade again? Stratton was back in defence in the final minutes of that quarter, after he missed much of the game following a head knock.
Q3 1.27 St Kilda 12.6 (78) v Hawthorn 13.11 (89)
Franklin's turn to miss an easy shot after a strong mark inside 50.
Q3 2.52 St Kilda 12.6 (78) v Hawthorn 13.10 (88)
Riewoldt marks directly in front 40 metres out, and misses. That was a chance to consolidate momentum for the Saints, who look likely to mark every time they get inside 50.
Q3 4.00 St Kilda 12.5 (77) v Hawthorn 13.10 (88)
GOAL. Saints. Koschitzke. Five majors for Kosi. This time a long kick into a crowded goalsquare and he judges the ball so much better than Schoenmakers that he grabs it untouched despite hvaing twelve players within five metres.
Q3 5.37 St Kilda 11.5 (71) v Hawthorn 13.10 (88)
GOAL. Saints Koschitzke. Another mark close to goal for Kosi, who had Hodge for an opponent that time. Four goals for the key forward. Hawks vulnerable at the back if the Saints can get it that far - Stratton is out, as is Gibson, and their key backs are not their strongest feature to begin with.
Q3 20 mins gone Sydney 10.6 (66) v Adelaide 10.5 (65)
Goodes, Walker 4 goals. Jetta, Thompson 21 disposals.
Q3 8.38 St Kilda 10.4 (65) v Hawthorn 13.10 (88)
GOAL. Hawks. Roughead. Big man marks 45 metres out after smooth transition play, and converts the set shot without fuss. His solid form could be very important in the long run for the Hawks. Rucks: Blake 15 hit-outs, 9 possessions. Hale 23 hit-outs and 6 touches.
Q3 10.53 St Kilda 10.4 (64) v Hawthorn 12.10 (82)
All the statistical measure are equal except for inside-50s, where Hawthorn leads 36 to 26.
Q3 10.53 St Kilda 10.4 (64) v Hawthorn 12.9 (81)
GOAL. Saints. Stanley. St Kilda is not giving in, but the conversion from the superstars at the other end is making it hard for them to keep up. Rioli is now one-out inside 50 for the Hawks.
Q3 11.36 St Kilda 9.4 (58) v Hawthorn 12.9 (81)
Rioli converts a half-chance from 45 metres, turning and kicking a searing drop punt for his sixth goal. Why play Rioli anywhere but forward? Goals are the hardest thing to come by, and he's deadly in the front half.
Q3 8 mins gone Sydney 9.6 (60) v Adelaide 10.4 (64)
Walker four goals for the Crows.
Q3 13.40 St Kilda 9.4 (58) v Hawthorn 11.9 (75)
Rioli ducks his head, gets a free kick then a 50-metre penalty for abuse, which guarantees a goal. Saad had put the Saint back in range with a brilliant snap from 40 metres. Saints fans going spare. Rioli has five goals.
Q3 8 mins gone Sydney 9.6 (60) v Adelaide 9.4 (58)
Goodes 3 goals. Swans in front for the first time.
Q3 17.24 St Kilda 8.3 (51) v Hawthorn 10.9 (69)
GOAL. Saints. Koschitzke. Third contested mark and goal for the big man. Despite both teams pressing all player on the ball at stoppages, this is a surpisingly open, free-scoring game, featuring goals from all the high-flying stars. St Kilda are probably missing a contribution from Milne at ground level to match that of Rioli. Kosi and Riewoldt have six goals between them Franklina dn Rioli seven. Milne: five touches, no score.
Q3 18.45 St Kilda 7.3 (45) v Hawthorn 10.9 (69)
GOAL. Hawks. Rioli. Cyril decides to outdo Budddy with an electrifying run straight off the re-start. Four goals for Rioli, 3 for Franklin, and the Hawks now have a handy buffer.
Q3 St Kilda 7.3 (45) v Hawthorn 9.9 (63)
GOAL. Hawks. Franklin. Turnover in midfield leaves Hawks one-out in attack and Rioli, Roughead, and Buddy combine, Franklin running in and using a banana kick from close range.
Q3 St Kilda 7.3 (45) v Hawthorn 8.9 (57)
Huge blow for St Kilda: Fisher subbed out for Saad with a back or hamstring problem.
HALF-TIME St Kilda 7.3 (45) v Hawthorn 8.9 (57)

Q2 2.02 St Kilda 7.3 (45) v Hawthorn 8.9 (57)
GOAL. Hawks. Breust. Marks on the lead low down, then converts clincially from 35 on a 45 degree angle.
Q2 27 mins gone Sydney 7.6 (48) v Adelaide 8.3 (51)
Swans have fought back from a four-goal deficit and their intensity is lifting.
Q2 2.02 St Kilda 7.3 (45) v Hawthorn 7.9 (51)
GOAL. Saints. Riewoldt. The stars are shining. Goddard evasive brilliance sets up Riewoldt, who snaps on the left from close range. Three majors for Riewodlt and Rioli; two for Franklin.
Q2 2.42 St Kilda 6.3 (39) v Hawthorn 7.9 (51)
GOAL. Hawks. Rioli. Third major for the magician, who capitalises on the hard-running Smith's mark and long kick from the centre circle.
Q2 22 mins gone Sydney 5.5 (35) v Adelaide 8.3 (51)
Goodes 10 possessions and two goals.
Q2 5.28 St Kilda 6.3 (39) v Hawthorn 6.8 (44)
Hodge has come back on after being off for most of the quarter with a corked hip. He is limping heavily. Ben Stratton is already sidelined with suspected concussion, but he has not yet been subbed out.
Q2 6.42 St Kilda 6.3 (39) v Hawthorn 6.8 (44)
GOAL. Saints. Fisher. Sustained pressure from St Kilda inside 50 coughs up a scramble kick which ends up in the backman's hands 45 out. Fisher elads St KIlda with 12 disposals and four marks.
Q2 15 mins gone Sydney 3.5 (23) v Adelaide 7.2 (44)
Walker three goals, including two from outside 50. It is a midfield pack battle.
Q2 11.15 St Kilda 5.3 (33) v Hawthorn 6.7 (43)
GOAL. Saints. Riewoldt. Gilbert intercept mark in the corridor. He kicks long to lateral lead from Riewoldt, who marks strongly and converts with a drop punt from 40 metres out.
Q2 13.02 St Kilda 4.3 (27) v Hawthorn 6.7 (43)
GOAL. Hawks. Franklin. Buddy outmarked two in the goal square. He has 2.3 and is looming as a major problem for the Saints.
Q2 8 mins gone Sydney 3.3 (21) v Adelaide 6.2 (38)
Walker answers with a long set shot after the Swans had booted the first two goals of the second term. Thompson 14 possessions for the Crows; Josh kennedy 11 for the Swans.

GOAL. Hawks. Roughead.
Q2 15.02 St Kilda 4.3 (27) v Hawthorn 4.6 (30)
Goal-saving tackle from the tall but quick Boumann on Milne close to goal.
Q2 17.20 St Kilda 4.2 (26) v Hawthorn 4.6 (30)
GOAL. Hawks. Whitecross. Mitchell defies the mauling pack at centre half forward with a deft left foot lateral pass which Whitecross marks 46 metres out. Long straight conversion from the useful utility. Stratton has not returned to play since early in the first quarter and is being assessed for concussion. Luke Hodge has taken a heavy blow and has limped off.
Q2 18.59 St Kilda 4.2 (26) v Hawthorn 3.6 (24)
GOAL. St Kilda. Koschitzke. Riewoldt kicks long to the hot spot, 25 metres out, and Kosi judges it better than anyone else, taking an uncontested chest mark in the middle of the pack.
Q2 St Kilda 3.2 (20) v Hawthorn 3.6 (24)
Possessions: St Kilda Steven, Hayes 8; Geary, Fisher 7. Hawthorn: Hodge, Shiels Smith 9.
QUARTER TIME Sydney 1.2 (8) v Adelaide 5.2 (32)

Walker the goalkicker for the Crows.
Q1 17.55 St Kilda 1.0 (6) v Hawthorn 1.0 (6)

Q1 18.39 St Kilda 1.0 (6) v Hawthorn 0.0 (0)

FINAL SCORE Gold Coast 14.3 (87) v Fremantle 14.10 (94)
This was a remendous game, proving it is always worthshile taking a gander at even the most obscure AFL fixtures. Every now and again you get a thriller like that where the underdog plays out of its skin. Gold Coast, hard-hit by injury, will take almost as much out of that game as the victors. Harley Bennell came of age in the midfield, his brilliance and persistence almost dragging the Suns over the Line. After a poor start to their second season, the Suns are now becoming a highly competitive unit. The Dockers badly missed injured midfield star Nathan Fyfe, and looked one-paced and devoid of attacking options. But they found a way to win against a fired-up opponent. That will be all that matters later in the season.
FINAL SCORE Gold Coast 14.3 (87) v Fremantle 14.10 (94)
Possessions: Suns: Bennell 37, Prestia 32, Iles 29, Horsley 25, Hunt 22. Dockers: Pearce 29, Ibbotson 26, Crowley, Johnson, Mundy 25.
FINAL SCORE Gold Coast 14.3 (87) v Fremantle 14.10 (94)
GOAL. Dockers. Mzungu. Dockers lock it in their forward line, then Mzungu soccers off the ground with two seconds left for the sealer. Pavlich started that move kicking the ball while lying on his back.
Q4 0.40 Gold Coast 14.3 (87) v Fremantle 13.10 (88)
Half-forward for Fremantle.
Q4 1.11 Gold Coast 14.3 (87) v Fremantle 13.10 (88)
Dockers go forward after the Suns messed up their thrust with a miskick. Pearce had played on and was tackled but was allowed to take his kick.
Q4 2.29 Gold Coast 14.3 (87) v Fremantle 13.10 (88)
GOAL. Suns. Bennell. Bennell, already best on ground, caps his three Borwnlow votes with another superb snap under pressure from 40 metres. He is an elite performer - that was his 37th disposal. Epic effort from Gold Coast this.
Q4 3.01 Gold Coast 13.3 (81) v Fremantle 13.10 (88)
A 20-player pack in the middle of the ground will decide the game. The Dockers wrest it free first.
Q4 4.24 Gold Coast 13.3 (81) v Fremantle 13.10 (88)
GOAL. Dockers. Mayne. The ball travels end to end, but the Dockers get it to the more dangerous spot in front of goal, 20 metres out, and Mayne is hit high by a desperate tackle. A 50-metre penalty makes sure of the goal to Mayne.
Q4 5.56 Gold Coast 13.3 (81) v Fremantle 12.10 (82)
GOAL. Dockers. Pavlich. Stoppage 20 metres out; spillage to the right and Pavlich, unsighted most of the game, snaps truly. High drama as the Suns strive for their first home ground win.
Q4 8.20 Gold Coast 13.3 (81) v Fremantle 11.10 (76)
GOAL. Suns. Brilliant combinations from a midfield stoppage, including going through Swallow, and the foot passes end with Brown, who converts from 40 metres out.
Q4 9.27 Gold Coast 12.3 (75) v Fremantle 11.10 (76)
Mzungu misses from directly in front unopposed after taking three bounces. We have the close one!
Q4 10.05 Gold Coast 12.3 (75) v Fremantle 11.8 (74)
GOAL. Suns. Bennell. Weller gathers with skill and determination from a stoppage and hands off to Bennell, whose brilliant snap puts the hosts back in front.
Q4 10.41 Gold Coast 11.3 (69) v Fremantle 11.8 (74)
Hunt marks on the bboundary and curls his set shot wide for a behind.
Q4 11.30 Gold Coast 11.2 (68) v Fremantle 11.8 (74)
GOAL. Dockers. De Boer. Brennan tries to beat the field in a huge pack 20 metres from goal and de Boer converts the gimme free kick. A similar holding the ball decision could have been paid from the previous ball-up, but Brennan was caught.
Q4 14.24 Gold Coast 11.2 (68) v Fremantle 10.8 (68)
Mundy runs into an open goal and misses to the right from 20 metres. Freo look sluggish despite their opponent being shorthanded, this game is up for grabs.
Q4 15.28 Gold Coast 11.2 (68) v Fremantle 10.7 (67)
GOAL. Suns. Brennan. Brennan marks on the boundary line and Ballantyne pushes him late, giving away 50 metres and putting Brennan in the goal square. Terribly undisciplined play from Ballantyne, who has had a forgettable game.
Q4 16.17 Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 10.7 (67)
This is a real slog, the Suns are giving it everything. Bennell is reaching new heights in the midfield, Swallow is gallantly playing on as a forward despite his ankle injury.
Q4 Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 10.7 (67)
Possessions: Suns: Bennell 27, Prestia 23, Iles 22. Dockers: Pearce 23, Crowley 22, Ibbotson 22.
The Dockers ought to have the legs to run over the top of the Suns. The Suns are endeavouring to control the tempo of the game with foot passing, but when such switching of the play comes unstuck, it generally leads to scoring opportunities for the Dockers.
THREE QUARTER TIME Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 10.7 (67)
David Swallow can barely walk, Nathan Bock is in hospital with a auspsected broken leg, Jared Brennan is being assessed by doctors and Trent Mckenzie also has injury issues. The Dockers are gradually overhauling the beleaguered Suns.
Q3 5.21 Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 10.5 (65)
Q3 7.18 Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 9.5 (59)
GOAL. Dockers. De Boer. Contested mark from Clarke sets De Boer the task close to goal, and he holds offf his opponent and boots the ball off the ground from the top of the square.
Q3 8.03 Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 8.5 (53)
GOAL. Dockers. Neale. Huge Mayne tackle on a lairising Iles sets up a long shot from Neale which bounces through.
Q3 9.45 Gold Coast 10.2 (62) v Fremantle 7.4 (46)
GOAL. Suns. Swallow. Harley Bennell's perfect foot pass finds the injured Swallow 40 out, and the midfielder is able to push it through for a goal from his set shot despite looking hampered. Now it appears Jared Brennan has a knee issue - the Suns are running out of experienced players, with Bock injured during the game and Rischitelli, Ablett and Harbrow sidelined.
Q3 11.03 Gold Coast 9.2 (56) v Fremantle 7.4 (46)
Senior Dockers not delivering: Duffield, Barlow, Broughton, Pavlich, Ballantyne, Mzungu could all do more for the Fremantle cause. None have had a big influence on the game.
Saints blow
St Kilda Ruckman, Ben McEvoy, has been withdrawn from the selected team due to a knee injury suffered at training late this week.
Scans have indicated some loose cartilage which will require an arthroscope on Monday morning.
It is anticipated that Ben will miss 4-6 weeks.
Q3 11.42 Gold Coast 9.2 (56) v Fremantle 7.4 (46)
GOAL. Dockers. Roberton. Fringe player jumps up with a contested mark on fifty, and a long,straight bomb for a major. They needed that.
Q3 12.45 Gold Coast 9.2 (56) v Fremantle 6.4 (40)
GOAL. Suns. Shaw. Thrilling goal to Gold Coast, started by a shimmy in midfield from hunt, which helped extract the footy from the pack. Shaw's high snap on a severe angle followed big efforts from Bennell and Horsley.
Q3 14.36 Gold Coast 8.2 (50) v Fremantle 6.4 (40)
Stephen Hill has been subbed out after vainly trying to defy a badly corked thigh. Lee Spurr is his replacement. Davd Swallow has had his ankle treated and may play on.
Q3 16.22 Gold Coast 8.2 (50) v Fremantle 6.3 (39)
GOAL. Dockers. Mayne. High snap from close range is paid a goal after a video review. The Dockers have moved McPharlin to the forward line from defence in a bid to improve their scoring power, but it is their midfield which needs to lift.

HALF-TIME Gold Coast 8.2 (50) v Fremantle 5.3 (33)
Here's AAP's take on Nathan Bock: The AFL season of stand-in Gold Coast Suns skipper Nathan Bock appears over after he was rushed to hospital with a broken leg before halftime of the Suns' clash with Fremantle.Bock, acting as captain with Gary Ablett (knee) sidelined, fractured his lower right leg when he collided with Matt de Boer as he flew high attempting a spoil in defence.The Suns confirmed the former Adelaide full-back was on his way to hospital before the second quarter finished.
HALF-TIME Gold Coast 8.2 (50) v Fremantle 5.3 (33)
GOAL. Suns. Hunt. Karmichael Hunt, resting forward, gets on the end of a good foot pass 35 metres out, with one second left in the half. He kicks truly after the siren, and teammates swamp him in jubilation. Hunt is making telling contributions around the packs in midfield, and improving every week. Perhaps more importantly, he is obviously respected and revered by his teammates and fans. That piece of recruitment is a winner. The Dockers now have the lead they deserve. But can they keep up the pace for the entirety of the second half? One would expecte at least a couple of the more credentialled Docker midfielders will lift in the second half.
Q2 1.17 Gold Coast 7.2 (44) v Fremantle 5.2 (32)
The Suns have owned the footy for three minutes, sharing it by foot. Rising ruck star Zac Smith (11 possessions) is back to his best, making plenty of dangerous moves forward and doing well at ground level in stoppages.
Q2 4.11 Gold Coast 7.2 (44) v Fremantle 5.2 (32)
GOAL. Suns. Russell. The Suns use their neat foot skills to set up a shot from 40 out after a Docker midfield turnover. It appears Swallow was hurt by another of the contentious 'slide' tackles. Tony Shaw says it is "very, very identical" to the incident in which Swans winger Gary Rohan broke his leg.
Q2 5.06 Gold Coast 6.2 (38) v Fremantle 5.2 (32)
Another potentially huge injury blow to the Suns with David Swallow - 11 possessions, 2 goals - helped off the ground by trainers with an injury to his left ankle.
Q2 7.04 Gold Coast 6.2 (38) v Fremantle 5.2 (32)
GOAL. Dockers. Clarke. Zac Clarke outmarks Tom Lynch 20 out directly in front. The Dockers have dug deep to stay in touch in the last three minutes.
Q2 8.18 Gold Coast 6.2 (38) v Fremantle 4.2 (26)
The Suns midfield is winning mroe contests, and spreading more effectively, than its more heralded opponent. But the Dockers are feasting on Suns errors.
Q2 10.18 Gold Coast 6.2 (38) v Fremantle 4.2 (26)
Another terrible decision, this time from Trent McKenzie to traverse midfield, instead of going deep inside 50, and Pavlich ends up with a set shot on the rebound. If Gold Coast eradicate the howlers, they will establish a good lead here, they're right on top.
Q2 11.47 Gold Coast 6.1 (37) v Fremantle 4.1 (25)
GOAL. Suns. Day. Clearance from a massive centre field pack by Hunt puts Day in good position 15 metres out. Zac Dawson collapses on top of him and the young spearhead converts the free kick from directly in front. Karmichael Hunt's eight possessions have been telling.
Q2 12.47 Gold Coast 5.1 (31) v Fremantle 4.1 (25)
GOAL. Dockers. Crowley. Shocking turnover in midfield exposes the Suns defence. The Suns had kicked five in a row before that glitch.
Q2 13.53 Gold Coast 5.1 (31) v Fremantle 3.1 (19)
GOAL. Suns. Caddy. Another snapped goal from a boundary line throw-in, with Caddy making something out of nothing from the middle of a big pack in the forward pocket. This is an intriguing game, which Gold Coast are currently dictating with their foot skills. How long can they keep up this intensity?
TEAM NEWS. Ash Smith has withdrawn from the West Coast side to play North Melbourne tomorrow, due to an ankle injury. Brad Sheppard will now take his place in the 22 and Blayne Wilson has been added to the emergency list.
Q2 19.40 Gold Coast 4.1 (25) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
GOAL. Suns. Swallow. Slick work in close from the centre clearance by the Sunsand a clinical finish on the run 45 metres out from the gifted midfielder. You can't help but enjoy goals kicked by uber tagger Ryan Crowley's opponents.
Sometimes the footy news cycle moves too fast. I was unaware that St Kilda changing its name was a major concern, but the club felt it was enough of an issue for them to release the following statement:
"The St Kilda Football Club will not be changing its name."
"The Football Club has been St Kilda and the Saints for the past 139 years, and there are no plans to change the name.
"St Kilda may consider using the 'Saints' name to promote the Club when playing in Wellington, New Zealand."
QUARTER TIME Gold Coast 3.1 (19) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
Possessions: Suns: Prestia 11, Bennell 7, Bock 7; Dockers: Pearce 12, Crowley 10, Mundy 10.
Speedster Stephen Hill has not re-emerged since early in the term. His hamstring is strapped, but apparently it is his quad muscle that has taken a heavy knock. His fate will be decided in the first ten minutes of this second quarter. Nathan Bock has suffered a suspected fracture of the lower leg and was subbed out for Josh Toy.
QUARTER TIME Gold Coast 3.1 (19) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
The Suns have won their first first quarter of 2012, and deservedly so. They lead every relevant statistical category narrowly, and that smart goal to Bennell finally brought the scoreboard into line. The Suns so far have won contested possessions 49-41, disposal efficiency 75%-74%, clearances 15-7, and inside-50s 16-13. They regrouped very well after the serious Bock injury with four minutes to go, and really only struggled for one period mid-quarter when the Dockers kicked their three goals within a minute and a half.
Q1 0.52 Gold Coast 3.1 (19) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
GOAL. Suns. Bennell. Karmichael Hunt weaves through a heavily congested stoppage and handballs to Bennell, who finishes superbly on the run on and angle from 40.
Q1 4.00 Gold Coast 2.1 (13) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
Nathan Bock looks to have suffered a serious leg injury in a marking duel with Mat de Boer. He signalled immediately for trainers, hasn't moved, and appears likely to have damaged a bone in his right leg. A huge blow for Nathan, and the Suns. He is their next most valuable player behind Gary Ablett. Bock has been carried offf on a stretcher after a long break as he weas tended on the ground by trainers and doctors. Josh Toy has been subbed in for Bock.
Q1 5.11 Gold Coast 2.1 (13) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
GOAL. Suns. Iles. Gold Coast breaks the Docker zone and two kicks over the top of opponents end with Sam Day, whose handpass over the top is taken by Sam Iles fifteen metres out under pressure on a tight angle. Excellent snapped dribble goal on the left foot excites the small crowd.
Q1 7.37 Gold Coast 1.1 (7) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
GOAL. GCS. Swallow. Zac Smith feeds Swallow from a forward line throw-in and the talented youngster snaps around the corner superbly. Controversial tagger Ryan Crowley is his opponent, and he's not happy at having conceded a goal. Nathan Bock is manning up Matthew Pavlich at centre-half-back, but they way this game is being played, he is seeing plenty of the other end of the ground.
Q1 8.38 Gold Coast 0.1 (1) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
The game has changed completely after being dominated by the Suns in the first ten minutes. Now its the Suns pushing numbers back into defence.
Q1 10.04 Gold Coast 0.1 (1) v Fremantle 3.0 (18)
GOAL. Freo. Neale, Mayne. The Dockers break the shackles after their first major, winning the next two centre clearances to set up players in the goal square.
Q1 11.22 Gold Coast 0.1 (1) v Fremantle 1.0 (6)
GOAL. Freo. Hill. Stoppage on the wing, tap to Broughton. His brilliant left foot kick hits Hill running at full pace into an open goal. It took some special skill to break the goal drought.
Q1 12.04 Gold Coast 0.1 (1) v Fremantle 0.0 (0)
Dion Prestia is in everything for the Suns, and he has won seven touches.
Q1 12.54 Gold Coast 0.0 (0) v Fremantle 0.0 (0)
Plenty of pressure and hard running early as the Suns take it up to the Dockers. The ball is sopending much of its time in the Gold Coast half, with Fremantle apparently happy to congest the Suns forward line and rely on fast breaks into open space.

Geelong 17.17 (119) d Melbourne 11.10 (76)
Essendon 19.15 (129) d Brisbane 9.8 (62)
The Bombers led throughout, and established a five-goal lead early in the first quarter. Geelong led into a strong breeze and dominated possession. Stanton, Heppell and Watson excelled as the Bombers outran the listing Lions. Steve Johnson had 35 possessions and kicked three goals for the Cats, and Corey, Duncan and Enright won a heap of the ball. The Demons matched the Cats for contested possessions, showing their resolve, but they spent long periods of the game chasing their opponents, whose skill level was far superior.
4.10pm Live scores
Essendon and Geelong are winning easily as expected, against Brisbane and Melbourne. At Etihad Stadium, the bigger news than the 10-goals plus margin is the knee injury suffered by Stewart Crameri late in the game. The most productive Bomber forward with 18 possessions and four goals, Crameri fell heavily, but later was walking unaided. Essendon needs him fit and firing to remain a finals contender.
At Simonds Stadium, Chloe Saltau reports that Geelong captain Joel Selwood was a late omission from the Cats team that played the Demons. He was still suffering the effects from his blow to the head from Lions tagger Andrew Raines.
Selwood withdrew from the team with concussion, after coach Chris Scott said earlier in the week he was "still sick and sore" from the blow. Brisbane tagger Raines was suspended for the retaliatory strike on the Cats star, who was cleared by the match review panel for his part in the incident.
Defender Tom Lonergan also withdrew from the team to play the Demons with general soreness, and the pair was replaced with Shannon Byrnes and Tom Gillies.
Gold Coast v Fremantle, Metricon Stadium.
The supposed Tweet Wars mini-saga has added some spice to this encounter, with Ross Lyon taking exception to Suns captain Gary Ablett's criticism of Docker tagger Ryan Crowley's manhandling of Carlton champion Chris Judd. Off-field mind-games will have little bearing on this match however. Fremantle's pressure and maturity should be too much for the undermanned Gold Coast, especially with the prolific Ablett absent due to a knee injury. In their first meeting last year at Patersons Stadium, the Suns were right in the game at half-time, but the Dockers booted 10 goals to two in the second half to run out comfortable winners.
The Suns have been disappointing on the whole in their second season, with last week's honourable performance away against North Melbourne probably their best performance of a winless season. With Ablett, Michael Rischitelli and Jarrod Harbrow missing through injury, the time is now for some much-heralded junior talents to take up the slack. Fremantle's major problem is its spluttering forward line - if they find a winner or two there today, they should win comfortably. But if the Suns can win enough of the ball in close, and the Dockers struggle to convert, this could become a test for the visitors.

Bathroom Window Treatments & Bathroom Blinds
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

"Great blinds at a great price"
By CJCBlinds from Seattle
We went to several local shops and checked out several online blind stores and chose Blinds Galore. The service was great.View this product
By sandking from Harlingen TX
We have 4 nine foot tall doors with windows and had not covered them because we were afraid the look of them would be ruined. However we could not see oun TV because of the glare. Botton line the Bali's improved the look of the doors!View this product

The Sumo Citrus® Story
In the 1970s a citrus grower from Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan set out to develop
a fruit which would combine the best of the easy-to-peel Japanese Satsuma with big,
juicy sweet oranges from California. Although he saw promise in an obscure tangerine-orange
hybrid, this new fruit proved challenging to grow. Thankfully, our grower persevered.
Over time, he developed a series of methods for growing, pruning and thinning his
trees, which is different from all other citrus.
It took over 30 years but his hard work was rewarded when recently, this new variety
became the most prized citrus fruit in Japan and Korea. Now this legendary fruit,
which is called Dekopon in Japan and Hallabong in Korea, is finally available for
the enjoyment of consumers here in America. It's grown on our families' farms in
California's Central Valley to the same exacting standards of the original Kumamoto
It is the biggest mandarin you've ever seen. It has a distinctive shape with a prominent
"top-knot." The peel is bright orange, bumpy and loose so it peels effortlessly.
The delicate sections separate easily. It's seedless, juicy without being messy,
and it is quite probably the sweetest citrus you'll ever eat.
