two MORE bowl games this year gives teams that are 2-5 in conference (USF) a chance to go bowling and also brings us some terrible and unappealing match ups.

Since we all clamor for a playoff in college football, we have devised our own "Worst College Bowl Playoff Bracket" to determine the worst bowl in college football this postseason.

We have decided to break this down into four regions with four games each. The "Sleeper Sixteen of College Bowls."

Join us as we set our brackets up and take the time to vote for which match up/bowl you find the least attractive, in each reagion. Next week we will narrow it down to the final four!

West Region:

Texas Bowl - Rice vs. Western Michigan. Luckily this match up is on the NFL Network so it won't interrupt actual sports programing on your basic cable provider.

New Mexico Bowl - Nothing says excitement more than #5 WAC, Colorado State vs. #5 MWC, Fresno State in cold Albuquerque, NM. Could be worse. Imagine New Mexico/New Mexico State.

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl - Rematch of a Hurricane Ike displaced game played Sept. 13th between Air Force and Houston in rainy Dallas. A game that included ZERO pass completions for Air Force.

Insight.com Bowl - (7-5) Kansas vs. (7-5) Minnesota. The Golden Gophers finished the season 0 for 4 including embarrassing home losses to Michigan (29-6) and Iowa (55-0).

South Region:

R + L Carriers New Orleans Bowl: (6-6) Southern Miss. vs. (8-4) Troy. The victor gets the "Best SEC Cupcake Trophy."

Independence Bowl: (6-6) Northern Illinois vs. (7-5) La Tech in Shreveport, LA. Writing more would be a waste of characters. Definitely the number one seed in our books.

PapaJohns.com Bowl: (6-6) NC State vs. (7-5) Rutgers. The Bracket's sixteen seed. Birmingham, AL gave this one a line.

Autozone Liberty Bowl: No matter how much Autozone and the Liberty Bowl Committee have paid "The Worldwide Leader" to shill the game this year, (6-6) Kentucky isn't turning on any dials outside of Lexington.

North Region:

EagleBank Bowl: The Nation's Capital kicks off bowl season at 11:00am EST on the 20th. That's right 11am! That is 8am PST! Whoever talked Navy into trading sunny San Diego for this bowl tie-in should be given the award for "Salesman of the Year."

Motor City Bowl: FAU vs. Central Michigan. Since when did a 6-6 record in the Sunbelt become good enough to be bowl eligible?

International Bowl: Buffalo vs. U Conn. Yeah Buffalo is a cute story this year, but who cares about a bowl played in Canada, AFTER New Year's Day.

Roady's Humanitarian Bowl: (7-5) Maryland vs. (7-5) Nevada. Four words: Boise. December. Smurf Turf. Plus we guess the selection committee forgot that Maryland lost to Middle Tenn State and Nevada was defeated by the Aggies of New Mexico State.

East Region:

majicJack St. Petersburg Bowl: (6-6) Memphis vs. (7-5) USF. Does anyone know anyone who plays for Memphis? USF is an impressive 2-5 in Big East play.

Outback Bowl: South Carolina vs. Iowa. Doesn't quite scream Tennessee/Wisconsin of years past.

Champs Sports Bowl: It took Wisconsin three missed extra point tries and overtime to defeat FCS Cal Poly at home. Florida State is 6-4 without its two FCS victories.

Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl: Boston College vs. (6-6) Vanderbilt. This is interesting if you like to watch Vanderbilt continue to drive its season off a cliff. The Commodores are 0-2 vs. the ACC. BC should present a bigger challenge than Duke and Wake.

Editor's note: The Sheraton Hawaii and Pioneer Las Vegas Bowls just missed this list and only because they are played in actual tourist destinations. Look for NBC to make a run at ESPN for broadcast rights to another Notre Dame defeat.

How to Pick the Correct Projector for Your Home Theater
Youre finally making the jump to the holy grail of home theater video displays; the front projection system. Theres nothing else that delivers that really big, impressive video image like a front projection system. Its how you get that real cinema experience in your home theater. Home theater projector prices have plummeted in recent years, and the size of the units have shrunk right along with the prices. No more do have to live with a coffin sized box on your ceiling. As sizes have decreased, the image quality and brightness have actually improved dramatically. Youll notice image quality and brightness are two separate issues.
How do choose the correct home theater projector for your application from the myriad of projectors on the market today? There are so many different units, each with their strengths and weaknesses. First of all, there are two main projection technology categories, analog and digital. Analog projectors are based on CRTs, a mature technology thats been around for decades. Those are the projectors with the separate red, green and blue picture tubes and three lenses on the front. The other projectors use one of the newer digital technologies. These projectors have a single lens on the front. There are three major types of digital projectors on the market today; LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon). Each type of digital projector has its advantages too.
You need to evaluate your specific requirements in order to make the proper decision. First of all, look at the room. Is it a dedicated home theater or a multi use room? Do you have complete control of the light? What aesthetic concerns are you dealing with? What is your projector budget? How large of an image do you want? Do you watch primarily DVD movies, TV movies, sports, or other TV programming? What specific source components will you be using with your projector now or in the future? Is picture quality the most important thing, or are other concerns, such as noise, size or brightness more important? Are you installing the projector yourself, or are you hiring a custom installer to do the installation for you? Where must the projector be placed? Can you get the required video and control cables to that location? These questions must be answered to ensure you get the proper projector for your home theater. If you are using a custom installer, they will take into account these factors and specify the appropriate unit for you.
Dramatic improvements in the picture quality of digital projectors notwithstanding, CRT projectors still deliver the most film like image. They have no pixel structure and deliver rich, deep blacks. Properly set up and calibrated, with a good video processor, and with the proper size screen, a CRT projector will deliver simply stunning picture quality. Youll need to use a good quality projection screen, typically with 1.3 - 2.5 gain depending upon the size, viewing angel and ambient light in the room. Prices on really great CRT projectors have fallen like a rock in the last year or two. You can get a 9 CRT projector that used to cost $35,000 to $50,000, for less than a third of that figure now. Many firms no longer make CRT projectors due to the decreased demand for projectors using this technology. In addition, the required video processors have decreased dramatically as well. Ten years ago a great video processor used to cost $10,000 to $20,000. Now you can get one for well under $5,000 and as little as $2,000, brand new. They also easily last 8,000 - 10,000 hours when properly set up.
If they are so fantastic, why doesnt everybody still use CRT projectors? Well, there are many detriments to a CRT projector as well. The best ones, with the 9 tubes, are simply huge. Its like hanging an upside down bathtub on your ceiling. If you want to put one under a coffee table, itll be one large table. They are also very heavy, around 150 - 200lbs, so you need the proper structure to support them. CRT projectors also require precise placement. They must be perfectly square with the screen, at the correct elevation for good picture quality. In addition, while many digital projectors have zoom lenses, allowing the projector to be placed at a range of distance from the screen, CRT projectors must be at a very precise distance for a specific screen size. These factors severely limit placement options. While the larger CRT projectors put out more light than their smaller counterparts, they have pretty dim images compared to even the least expensive digital projectors. Finally, CRT projectors require specialized setup in order to get a watchable, much less an optimum image. Every 6 months to a year, they must be re-calibrated to ensure you are still getting optimum picture quality.
There are some very good reasons why most people are using digital projectors in their home theaters today. Many are small and light, require minimal setup and calibration (compared to a CRT), are quiet and have a bright, sharp image. But, there are many different digital projectors, ranging in price from around $700.00 to over $100,000.00. Which one is the best for your specific application? Thankfully, the situation is changing, but many of the digital projectors marketed for home theater use are really just re-badged presentation units. Presentation projectors sacrifice good video quality for brightness. Brightness is much more important when giving a Powerpoint presentation in a lit room than the correct color palate or the black level. The red on the pie chart looks great, no matter what, as long as you can see it from the back row.
You want to choose one of the newer units that has been truly designed for home theater applications. The actual technology used for the imaging chip is not all that important, there are great examples using all three of the digital technologies. Companies such as Sony, Runco, InFocus, Vidikron, Marantz, Benq, Panasonic, Sharp, Optima and Sanyo and some others all make great home theater projectors. The projector will have great black levels, to accurately reproduce detail in the darker areas of the picture and give great contrast. Absolute brightness is not extremely important, unless you have a multi-use room without complete light control or you have a lot of people over for sporting events. If you are entertaining many people for sports, its nice to have some light on in the room, so a brighter projector is advantageous.
Projectors come in a number of different resolutions. The lower the resolution, the smaller the screen you can use before you can see pixel structure. Also, the lower resolutions will not support true HDTV. Most will display HD, but at a decreased resolution. The lowest end projectors typically have resolutions of 800 x 600. The Texas Instruments Matterhorn chip is popular on budget priced wide screen projectors, and has a resolution of 1024 x 576. Anything over a resolution of 720 will allow for true HDTV. The TI series of HD-2 DLP chips has a resolution of 1280 x 720. In April of 2005, TI announced new DLP chips with 1920 x 1080 was ready for production, allowing for true 1080p resolutions. Projectors with this chip will begin shipping in Q1 of 2006. Blu-Ray Disc has stated they will support 1080p, so by late 2006 there will be commercially available 1080p content besides Microsofts WMHD discs.
Another very important aspect of home theater projectors is the internal video processing. This is one of the primary differences between good home theater projectors and presentation projectors. Digital projectors must display progressive scan images at the native resolution of the chip, so any interlaced signal, such as 1080i HDTV, must be de-interlaced and then scaled to the native chip resolution. Poor quality video processors, weather in the projector or external units, cause all sorts of video artifacts that can get in the way of a satisfying video presentation. This subject alone is too in depth for this article, as entire texts have been written on the subject. However, one common video artifact is where diagonal lines are jagged instead of straight. Another annoying artifact caused by poor video processing is moire. This is a pattern seen as alternating light and dark lines that change position as the image moves.
Youll want to be sure your projector supports the HDMI or DVI with HDCP copy protection to allow you to connect a HD-DVD, scaling DVD player or Blu-Ray Disc player. These devices will only allow maximum resolution on a display that has a digital video input with HDCP copy protection. In the future, cable TV and satellite providers may restrict the maximum resolution to their digital outputs too.
When choosing your new home theater projector, make sure it has the video quality, brightness, size, auditory and budget characteristics that you need. Projectors are a large investment, choose carefully and you will be rewarded with years of thrilling video in your home theater.

The case against the initiative is framed by the people for whom it was brought, and, of course, by the federal and state constitutions.
Sheila Cole is one of the plaintiffs. She and her partner of nine years live in Tulsa. Sheilas daughter had a baby girl in May. The baby is now in protective custody in Bentonville, Arkansas, after being taken to a hospital with multiple broken ribs when she was about 2 months old. Sheila asked the state to let her granddaughter join her in Tulsa, and offered to become her foster mother. Every week, she drives four hours to spend time with the baby. The state of Oklahoma did a home study and approved. Her application was pending with the Arkansas Department of Human Services when the initiative passed.

I'm not sure about this one. I wrote a post back in August in which I created a fictional organization called PAMIC, People Against Massages In Church. Some people that were pro massage got frustrated so I created a manifesto defending their position called CIMAP or Church Is Massage Appropriate Place. I like the CIMAP manifesto but I think only the PAMIC manifesto belongs in the book. My thought is that CIMAP was only funny in a web environment, where people were reacting to it and interacting with it.

Usually, I'm just asking a simple question, "Should this go in the book" and am very grateful if you are willing to share your opinion and say "yes" or "no." But today, I am curious whether you think it should go in as just PAMIC, go in as PAMIC and CIMAP combined or not be included at all.

I've posted PAMIC below, which is how I think it might work best in the book. But if you want to see the CIMAP manifesto, click here. Thanks again for your help.

Massages in Church (A Manifesto Against Them)

I admit, touch is not one of my "love languages." Few things wake me up as fast as having my wife's elbows and knees jabbing me in the middle of the night. Or what other people would call "snuggling."

I therefore always thought I was the only one that didn't like the "during church massage." But on my blog, when I briefly mentioned a lady I've seen at church that rubs her husband's neck during service, a number of people commented. Suddenly, I was awash with an ocean of hope. Although I have mentioned this issue before, this time I was filled with the sense that I am not alone. I am not that weird. Perhaps, I thought to myself, I can join an underground resistance dedicated to the elimination of the "during church massage."

And the more I thought about that idea, the more I realized that every underground cause needs a manifesto. Some brief document that lays out our thoughts about the terror we so valiantly struggle against. I googled the name of the organization I wanted to join and didn't get any good results. So I knew it had to be me. I had to make the first move in this battle. And thus this essay was born:

The People Against Massages In Church (PAMIC) Manifesto

1. The difference between a pat and a massage.
We recognize and respect the need to pat someone on the back. Sometimes, it's good to say "Hi" or "Good job" or "Your chair is currently resting on my big toe" with a small tap on the back. We support that. But when you pat more than four times and then linger, you have now crossed into massage territory my friend. And you're about to find yourself on the other end of a "PAMIC Attack."

2. Circles are great for cheerios, not church.
We recognize and respect the need to lay a hand on someone as you say hello or want to show your spouse support during a prayer. But when you start rubbing in a circle, a square or any other geometrical shape, you are now giving a massage. That's not a big deal right? Wrong. Your rotating hand is creating what we call a "circle of distraction." People around you will not be able to focus on the sermon as they instead become hypnotized by watching you. God hates that. It's in Numbers or Exodus I think.

3. There are consequences if you try to massage us.
The members of PAMIC are attractive and funny and Godly and often smell very nice. Please don't get confused by those four things and think it's OK to ever give us a back or neck rub during church. If you do, we can't be held responsible if you suddenly find yourself in some sort of karate arm bar lock, a sleeper hold or at the bottom of a wicked leg drop.

4. Don't confuse not loving in church massages with not loving life, Jesus, our spouses etc.
You will assume, based on our plans to rid all churches, in all countries of "during church massages," that we are not loving people. That perhaps you are rubbing someone's neck as an act of worship or praise or affection. And that members of PAMIC are not into any of those things. That is adorable. It's possible we held hands with our spouses as we walked into church. We might give back rubs at home. We could be amazing "snugglers" but when it comes to touching folks at church, we follow the Bible. And there's not a single example of someone in the Bible giving someone else a neck or back rub while Jesus taught. I dare you to find me a verse that show someone massaging someone else while they listened to the Sermon on the Mount for instance.

Is this extreme? Perhaps, but few great revolutions started quietly. We will not go peacefully. We will march and protest and launch thousands of PAMIC Attacks. (A PAMIC Attack by the way is when you squirt someone that is trying to start a during church massage with a squirt gun full of vinegar. Or what we call at our house, "sass juice.")

Non massagers of the world unite.

My mom used to make this when I was growing up. It's very filling and is a great way to combine meat, veggies, and bread all together.

Thaw out a loaf of frozen bread dough.
Cook your choice of one pound of meat (ground pork/beef/turkey/chicken or chicken pieces work best).
Choose your veggie (cabbage, corn, and tomatoes are popular for us).
Choose your cheese.
Choose your optional extras (spaghetti sauce, taco seasonings, etc).

Layer it all on the rolled-out bread dough and wrap it up as best you can (I've never been as good as my mom who manages to get everything inside with no tears, but it still tastes fine).

Cook at 350 for about 20 minutes or so, until dough is golden brown.

I think the original way is ground beef, cabbage, and mozzarella, but I honestly have no idea anymore.

I love Christmas time! I love the foggy nights, and coats, sweaters and gloves! I love the warmth and smell of lit candles! I love Christmas songs and yummy Christmas treats! I love wrapping presents, and chatting with strangers in line when I'm buying the presents! I love reminding my kids to think about if they are being naughty or nice (usually when they are being naughty) followed by my terrible singing of one of my favorite Christmas songs (now that I am a parent), Santa Clause is Coming to Town. I love hot chocolate and candy canes and walking into a store and hearing the best Christmas song of all time, Baby It's Cold Outside! Christmas time is just the best!

So, here were are, starting off the holiday season, decorating the Christmas tree! The kids always love to help, which means I usually have some rearranging to do when they are at school.

There are lots tents for best campings are available in the market. Great Bear Outdoors is a straightforward site with the product categories lined up on the right. The products are all of the basics required for camping in tents, beach trips, or skiing. More conventional travelers can also find items designed for the forests that work well in airports and hotels. Flash lights and backpacks arent limited to only Mother Nature. These items come in handy when you need to pack all of your electronic accessories or search through your bags while the lights are off on a transcontinental flight. Great Bear Outdoors has basic product descriptions, although I would prefer to have more information provided for each item. It may be best to do your research before coming to the site, unless you are experienced with the equipment. A simple search online revealed that the prices on the site are average in most cases. The shipping policies and costs were not prominently featured, but the phone number is a top all of the pages for contacting the company with questions and comments.

so last night, i went to some christmas service in the city that my friend was singing in the choir that was there. it was horribly boring. but i'm glad i went because at least i showed my face and whatnot. so we left and it was snowingggg! i was happy. but very cold.
so by like, 11:30 i got home. which really isn't too bad. my ipod almost died on the way home. but it had enough battery for the train ride. i'm mucho tired, but whatever. i have today and tomorrow off, so i can calm down and relax. hopefully i can get some work done on a spanish project i have to do. AND my partner is going to do all the cooking, thank god because i cannot cook to save my life. so thanks for that.

today, i'm going to do some homework. just something. thennn maybe go for a walk since it's really lovely out today. it's freezing, the sky is snow-white, and there's snow on all the roofs and whatnot. i have to mail something, anyway. so why not. maybe i'll head out to the store and get some crap to eat cause i'm a real glutton. gahh.

i was listening to my chemical romance last night on the train home. it's always like, a breath of fresh air when i listen to them after not listening to them for weeks. i was listening to "my way home is through you" and i kept thinking about the show at msg and how gerard dedicated it to lynz. eeeee. i think today may be one of those days where i'll listen to them all day and watch life of the murder scene, like the fangirl i am. xD

so uh. on tuesday, kevin is going to be stalking me at the bus stop. so if i know you in real life/go to my school, stay with me at the bus stop. he just wants to see if i have friends. he really thinks i have no friends at all. xD i can assure you, i do. haha. he's odd.

coffee was a bad choice. my throat is closing up. gahh.

All during December, noted author Jeannie Ralston will be donating a percentage of book sales from her new novel “The Unlikely Lavender Queen: A Memoir of Unexpected Blossoming” to CureSearch.
Ralston’s nephew Jacob was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in August, 2007, and endured 25 proton beam treatments at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston and 14 rounds of chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk, VA, both Children’s Oncology Group member institutions. Jacob is currently in remission.
Ralston says “I want to do what I can to make sure that no other children and no other families have to go through the trauma and stress all of us in our extended family felt during Jacob’s illness. I think that would be the best Christmas present children could receive.”
“The Unlikely Lavender Queen” follows Ralston as she reluctantly goes from being a journalist in Manhattan to a lavender farmer in rural Texas. She comes to embrace the change as the most rewarding adventure in her life, as she demonstrates to herself – and to her readers – how to “bloom where you’re planted.”
ABC’s “Good Morning America” has recommended “The Unlikely Lavender Queen” as one of its holiday “Great Reads,” as have Fortune’s “Small Business Magazine” and the Dallas Morning News, among others.

Pulaki Temple or Pura Pulaki is a Hindu shrine located in the hill bank and in front of the beautiful beach in north part of Bali. It is one of the biggest Hindu temples in Bali situated in the coastal side west part of Singaraja town or 1 hour drive to the west from the town. This temple is set on the flat land with stone hill bank as a back drop meanwhile the blue ocean is just in front of the temple.
Pura Agung Pulaki, a large, dramatic temple only 25 meters from the sea, is located 30 km of Seririt (48 km west of Singaraja) near the grape-growing village of Banyupoh. This important temple commemorates the arrival of the Javanese saint-priest Nirartha to Bali in the early 16th century.

Pulaki Temple is a famous temple among the Hindu people in Bali located in Singaraja regency, north part of Bali.
There are the group of monkeys dwell the hill forest around the temple and it usually standing around the temple in the day time. The beautiful beach with black sand and calm seawater is one of the fascinations to visitor to come to this temple. We can find the beautiful hill bank and beaches along the coastal road.
Cliffs tower behind the temple surrounded by jungle and overrun by hordes of simians. Considered sacred, the macaques are well fed by pilgrims. The monkeys on the hills range have existed before the arrival of Danghyang Nirartha. It is said that when he entered the forest of Pulaki he was escorted by those monkey troops. As his respect to those monkeys Danghyang Nirartha then established the Pulaki Temple and the entire monkeys there came to be its guardian.

The Pulaki temple is flanked by several temples which surround the Pulaki Temple as the center of the complex that is called , the surrounding temples are: Pemuteran Temple located 1 km to the west popular for its hot spring, Kerta Kawat Temple located 2 km to the southeast, and Pabean Temple 400 meters to the northeast.

Legend has it great village exist here, invisible for its temple. It said when Nirartha lived in Gelgel, he was forced to hide his daughter lest she abducted by the king. He finally brought her to this remote place, rendering it invisible to keep her safe. To this day, the people who occupy the visible village is known as gamang and are said to wonder the countryside.

Black stone gate will greet the pilgrims and visitors to this temple; this gate was built in 1983 and heralded with a great ceremony that need holy water from various places range from east Java in the west to Lombok in the east. As any other temple in Bali, Pura Pulaki is divided into three courtyards, Jaba, outer courtyard, jaba tengah, middle courtyard and jeroan, main courtyard. Not just the gate, the shrines and the ornaments of this sacred temple are also dominated by black color.

In my last post, I invited people to ask questions. So, since Esther LOVES to ask me questions all the time, she sent me a whole bunch via email. I am starting to answer few. It will take me awhile to get through all of them. None of them are going to be all that well written, just me, typing a response as I think it, so if it doesn't make any sense, forgive me!

how are you feeling about Saturday's meet?

I am answering the easy question first! Sort of like a warm up. I got an email with info about the meet today. It looks like for the 200 back and 200IM I will be swimming with all 50+ woman most likely. Ha Ha!

I am excited and nervous about the meet. It is the 'Zone Championship', so I think they are going to be a little more strict about starts/rules etc., so I can't be all twitchy on the blocks like I guess I am. My first event is the 1500m. I think I can go quite a bit faster than my seed time. It was a time I swam in a workout when I was tired and didn't do any flip turns. But, I have never done flip turns for that long before. What if I miss the wall again? What if it makes me tired?

For the 200 back and 200 IM I am just worried about being tired and about being cold after sitting for a few hours after the 1500. I am excited to race both of them. I think it will be a good meet and I am glad it will be a short drive. I am trying to get some people to watch. Freddy says it is too early (for the 1500), maybe I can talk him into the later events. I think I got a maybe out of you (Esther). It will be more fun having people there with me. I think if I had a swim team like most of the other people there, I would enjoy going a lot more.


"For years I have just adopted what my husband or boyfriend or whoever the male influence was in my life at the time thought and went with that opinion." where do you think this came from?

This is a hard one! I have a need to be perfect, to please everyone, to be liked. Or at least I used to. I think I have been this way most of my life as it was the role I took in my family. I needed to be perfect and to make sure that I did what every one wanted to make sure to keep everyone happy. I couldn't upset the balance or upset anyone. And even though my Dad was very quiet and mild mannered, he was definitely the dominant personality in the home. To me, he made the decisions and opinions came from him and that is where my ideas were supposed to come from. When I was an adult and moved away from home, I think I just looked to my boyfriend or husband for ideas on what to think on a lot of things because I didn't want to cause any problems in the relationship and wanted to be liked. What I realize now, is that I really have missed out on many opportunities to form my own personality, and times when I have been uncomfortable, it was because I didn't really have a sense of who I was or what I thought.

After I posted this I was thinking more about it and I realized I was missing something. This really comes from when I was around 8 years old and I learned not to speak out or voice my opinion or talk about my feelings from my family. My oldest brother was/is mentally ill and was very violent at the time. It has always been very difficult for me to talk about. At the time I didn't understand and was angry about the situation and voiced my anger. I learned in several ways not to voice my dissatisfaction with the situation. And I think that is where a lot of this started.

when do you think you were happiest?
Right now, I am moving into one of my happiest times of my life. Another time was the summer after my senior year of college. I was living in Eugene, OR and was getting ready to head off to grad school. I wasn't working and had no responsibilities. I took the summer to do exactly what I wanted. I woke up when I wanted, enjoyed the beautiful summer weather in Eugene by biking and running. I ate ice cream and fresh fruit every day. I made sure to go to all my favorite places in Eugene as many times as I could so I could capture those memories forever. I spent time with my boyfriend Dale which was one of the healthiest relationships I ever had.
Here's a picture of Hendricks Park in Eugene. I used to love to run up here. It's a tough run up to the top, but you get a great view. There are gigantic trees everywhere. In the spring there are Rhododendrons all over. Then I run down the other side of the hill down Skyline Blvd past Pre's Rock and stop and pay my respects.

The Yankees' latest plan twists in the wind as the marquee free agents ponder a myriad of options. The Bombers believed their big bucks would form a line of hungry job applicants. Think again. CC, A.J. and the other Derek hold all the cards as the Yanks lack of leverage puts them in a familiar place. Any competent agent would advise their client to put the Yanks on hold and play the field. The Yankees don't have a plan B, it's all or nothing. The front office failures have the richest franchise in sports history all dressed up with no where to go.

Yankees' followers are salivating over a possible rotation of: Sabathia, Wang, Burnett/Lowe, Chamberlain and Pettitte. Let's travel to the dark side: Wang--returning from a season lost to injury, Chamberlain-- returning from an injury riddled 100IP 2008 with a limit of 130IP for 2009, Pettitte--a high mileage veteran coming off a poor year, Aceves--a 26 year-old rookie who needs the support of quality defense and whoever. What about the farm? Don't ask.

Every college basketball season we come in thinking we know the star players, freshman and coaches that will be the storylines of the season.  And every year we are shocked when new faces and names emerge from virtual anonymity into nightly SportsCenter highlights.
Some are already proven stars on teams yet to breakout.  Others were good last year but will step into bigger roles this season.  And a few were already premiere players that are ready to take the next step into the status of “household name.”
Here are the ten players you need to know for the upcoming college basketball season.
