Weekend Watch List: Play the dirge for a grizzled, metal warrior
For the rest of Central Florida's research see Dodds and Ends. - Gardner-Webb? Appalachian State is shocked. - Step aside, Tim Tebow. The SEC's newest offensive star is Georgia's Knowshon Moreno. The redshirt freshman has rushed for 541 yards in the past three games to surpass 1,000 yards heading into the Auburn game. Moreno is being compared to Auburn's Cadillac Williams, who ran with Gumby-bodied toughness and rare speed. Moreno is Georgia's first 1,000-yard rusher in five years. Wow. Herschel, where have you gone? - Nick Saban (Alabama is at Mississippi State) is rebounding from the first loss of his career (pro and college) when his team has scored at least 30 points. - Submitted without the usual WWL skewer: Notre Dame (vs.

We've rented cottages four times in Devon, England's southwestern county noted for clotted cream, gorgeous countryside, famous seafarers such as Drake and Raleigh, and now local organic foods. One cottage was a thatched, 13th century granite farmhouse on the edge of Dartmoor National Park; two were in Chagford, a village surrounded by wonderful hiking country and small shops supplying high-quality foods. Our most recent stay in April was in an 18th century thatched cottage in Budleigh Salterton, a small seaside town on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage site. All the cottages have gardens and are well equipped and comfortable. Chagford is a lively village with a 14th century church. Most traffic is on foot, and you're as likely to hear horses clopping down the street as automobiles.
CES Dispatch--Toshiba's HD DVD Response
If gadgets could look forlorn, Toshiba's three new HD DVD players looked just that sitting on stage ahead of the executives' speeches. Jody Sally, vice president of digital audio/visual equipment, which includes Toshiba HD DVD player lineup, looked on the verge of tears during her truncated three-minute presentation in which reports of HD DVD's sales progress became moot following Warner Brothers decision to exclusively support the rival Blu-ray high definition DVD format later this year. Sally tried to put on a good game face, though, noting that HD DVD unit sales over the holiday shopping period accounted for 49.3% of the market. What she didn't note was that the figure would then translate to Blu-ray capturing the majority of sales of standalone players despite heavy Toshiba discounting.
Local developers positive despite sluggish industry
They already have the land, and they have some ideas of what they want to do, but are "still shopping for ideas."A home show, Jeffries said, "helps get the products out from the local businesses" for people to see.Jake Smith of Jefferson City came to the Firley YMCA because he's "thinking about remodeling a house. It's pretty run-down, and I need some ideas."Smith said seeing the exhibits of more than 120 vendors "shows you different aspects of what's available."Neither Smith nor Jeffries said they were concerned about recent slow-downs in the housing market and home construction industry.But George Storm and Jen Luecke, an engaged couple from Fulton, said they were looking at the home show to help make some final choices.

Microsoft teams up with Viacom
As part of the agreement Microsoft will get non-exclusive access to content from across Viacom's cable network and motion picture businesses, including MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Paramount Pictures. The content is likely to find its way onto Microsoft properties such as MSN and Xbox 360. Microsoft's Atlas division will become the ad server for Viacom's US websites, and the software giant will sell remnant display advertising inventory on its new partner's sites. Microsoft will also buy advertising on Viacom broadcast and online networks over the course of the five-year agreement, and both companies will cooperate on promotions and sponsorships for MTV Networks and BET Networks award shows. The deal has a projected value of approximately $500m in financial considerations and business services between the two companies.
Finding the Frame - Jed Conklin
This photo is a perfect example of Brian seeing those layers, and then making them all work together in a split second. Beyond that, it is just a very cool picture to look at. Brains eye is unlike any other photographers Ive known. He sees the world differently than most. I always know when its a Brian Plonka photo in the paper just by looking at it. He has a personal style all his own. .
How Obama Can Win
**--See, e.g,, his December 2 Stephanopoulos interview ("I also have a record of being in the private sector, not only in small business, but being involved in the human work of touching people's lives from the cradle to the grave ..."). 2:02 P.M. ___________________________ School Me (a new feature in which I advertise areas in which I'm embarrassingly ignorant, in the hope that readers will fill me in faster than I could fill myself in by, say, making phone calls): Back in June, Ron Brownstein wrote that in California "liberal interests and labor unions ... hate the idea" of an "individual mandate" requiring everyone to buy health insurance. Does that "hate" hold true nationally? Is it grounded solely in the sentiment Brownstein alludes to--that "they consider it unfair to working families"? Or does it also have a more cynical, institutional grounding, namely unions' fear that an individual mandate would undermine employer-provided insurance and the role of unions in negotiating for that insurance? ...
