PrintAfter pulling my eyes out for the better part of three hours on Saturday watching Kevin Prince run for a billion yards and watching Zach Maynard channel his inner Rich Campbell, I needed to feel empowered. So I decided to hijack 49er16's weekly "Images of the Weekend" post.
All images from http://30fps.mocksession.com/
What's a great way to celebrate a sack of Tim Tebow? How about Tebowing?
The sign police at ESPN College Game Day missed one.
Or, on second thought, maybe the sign police just took the day off.
Sad Hall of Famer. Maybe punching Robin Ventura would make him feel better.
Is that a Heisman pose? No, it's snot.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Here's some more context...not that it changes the interpretation of the quote
"I feel like I can make all the throws; smart; I feel like I can lead an offense up and down the field. I’m not the kind of guy who is going to lose a game for you. I can make some throws that will keep the chains moving. Most of all, it’s just understanding everything and having a feel for the game."

Cal football embarrasses itself at Ucla
Freshman safety Tevin McDonald made the first three interceptions of his college career, Derrick Coleman scored three touchdowns, and UCLA bounced back from one of its most embarrassing losses in years to beat California, 31-14, on Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
McDonald’s interceptions set up two touchdowns and a field goal for the Bruins (4-4, 3-2 Pac-12), who took the heat off much-maligned coach Rick Neuheisel, at least for the time being, with their most impressive performance of the season.
The Bruins scored 24 of their 31 points after turnovers in handing Cal (4-4, 1-4) its fourth loss in five games. The Bears committed five turnovers, four on interceptions thrown by Zach Maynard, who was 14 of 30 for 199 yards.
The Golden Bears held the lead 7-0 midway through the second quarter, after Isi Sofele scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter. But the Bruins rattled off 17-straight points to hold a 17-7 lead at half.
If only that were the actual Calbears.com headline.

Cal rugby can't even win anymore!
Bears go 3-3 in Rugby 7s event
The Golden Bears dropped a 26-17 decision to Saint Mary’s before defeating Santa Clara and University of San Diego at the California 7s Sunday on Pat Vincent Field.
“Saint Mary’s did a really good job with the organization of the event,” said head coach Jack Clark. “Because there are not too many rugby tournaments anymore, we tend to forget how much fun they are. This will be one of the positives to a full fall sevens season.”
California was captained on Sunday by freshman Andrew Battaglia, who played well in four starts during the tournament. The Bears also got strong play from fellow freshman Eakalafi Okusi as well as sophomores Jake Anderson, Paul Bosco, Hunter Frisinger and Max Shaulis as Cal exited the weekend with 28 tries scored, more than any other team in the competition.
In the Bears’ three losses at the California 7s, Cal matched San Diego State and Cal Poly with two and three tries in those respective contests, and notched three tries against four scored by the Gaels.
Did anything go right this weekend in Cal sports?

“Pringled quietly to myself.” The term “Pringle” is CGB-speak for LOL. This is because one of Cal’s great early football players was named Charles “Lol” Pringle. He was a hero of the 1898 Big Game! Because of his nickname “Lol,” people started using “Pringle” to mean “Lol.” Here is the original post that got this all started.

Water polo beat UC-Irvine 14-6
Four Golden Bears – seniors Zach Greenwood and Luka Saponjic, junior Marin Balarin and freshman Aleksa Saponjic – each scored two goals apiece as No. 4 Cal defeated No. 8 UC Irvine, 14-6, Sunday afternoon at Spieker Aquatics Complex. With the win, the Bears improved to 16-3 overall and 4-1 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, and take another positive step in their attempt to qualify for the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Dec. 3-4 at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
Junior goalie Justin Parsons also had a stellar match for Cal, registering 13 saves, including blocking a five-meter penalty shot by the Anteaters’ Sam Figueroa, who led UC Irvine with three goals.
“It was a very good team effort for us today,” said Cal coach Kirk Everist. “I was very happy with our defensive and offensive energy.”

No. 2 Cal volleyball gets swept at home by No. 4 USC
After dropping the first two sets to No. 4 USC, the No. 2 California volleyball team returned to form in set three, but could not mount a big enough comeback. The Golden Bears lost 25-15, 25-17, 25-22 to the Trojans on Saturday night at Haas Pavilion.
Cal drops only its second match of the season at home, falling to 21-4 overall and 11-4 in the Pac-12. USC improves to 18-4 and 13-2 in conference action.
USC out hit the Bears (.319-.147) and out blocked them (9-5) en route to the sweep. With a new season high in kills, Shannon Hawari led the Bears with 14 (4e, 23att), hitting a match-high .435. Elly Barrett dished out 30 assists. Tarah Murrey tallied nine kills for as many points. Both Murrey and Robin Rostratter paced the Bears with 10 digs apiece.
The Bears also lost on Friday
In one of the week’s top match-ups in all of collegiate volleyball, the No. 2 Golden Bears fell to their baby sister ursine in No. 6 UCLA for the second time this season, 3-1, at Haas Pavilion on Friday night. The Bruins posted the 25-17, 20-25, 25-17, 25-16 win over California, sweeping the 2011 series with the Bears.
Suffering its first loss of the year at Haas Pavilion, Cal drops to 21-3 overall and 11-3 in the Pac-12 while UCLA improves to 19-3 and 12-2 in conference play.
“We have no one to blame but ourselves,” Cal head coach Rich Feller said. “When the passing was good, the setting and hitting wasn’t. Overall, we fell well below expectations. We’ll see how we bounce back.” [ed. note: not well]
The Bears have a short time to recover from the setback for they face No. 2 USC at 7 p.m. on Saturday evening. No. 5 Stanford tallied an upset sweep of the Trojans on Friday night in Palo Alto. Feller noted that the Bears and coaches will examine the effectiveness of their goal setting prior to Saturday’s match.
Kiffy photos remind me...
Last night after the official review at the end of the game (USC was challenging the call on the field that time had run out in regulation), Kiffin came onto the field and appeared to continue pleading his case. At this point I said, “Lane, you lost.”
Not two seconds go by and Brent Musberger says, “Lane, you lost the challenge.”

This was discussed Saturday night at our hotel too. We decided that although uncomfortable, rooting for the furd hoping for U$C to lose that game was the right thing to do. 1) furd will go back to mediocrity after the luck is gone 2) Schaudenfreude (sp?) for $C fans is much sweeter as they a) actually have fans, and b) they are all douchy and watching them file out of the coliseum in disbelief after getting their hopes up is pure delicious goodness

That’s balanced out by the prospect of ’furd being a BCS team. Again.
If this were 5 years ago and it was just a random ‘furd team beating a powerhouse USC team, I’d probably not care either way and enjoy the USC fans’ despair. But USC is going nowhere and ’Furd has everything to play for, so you must root against ’Furd.

If Furd were to win out except for a crushing defeat to us, they would go to the Rose Bowl. This is what I call a losing scenario. Please adjust your scenario to be something that would make us HAPPY.
Well, I assumed he meant until furd played us.
Then they’d obviously lose to ASU in the Pac-12 Championship Game.

If ’furd lost to Oregon, who lost to ASU, then 10-2 ASU would go to the Rose Bowl over 11-1 Stanfurd, right?

Whose coverage? Their Coverage!
Y u double cover?
Allen saw two defenders on him for most of the game — including safety help on top — though Tedford denied that he was technically double covered.
“They didn’t spend most of the game doubling Keenan,” Tedford said. “They didn’t spend the entire game doubling Keenan. Keenan was — they ran the regular zone stuff, they didn’t double Keenan.”
Maynard, however, felt differently.
“They did a great job double-coveraging our star receivers,” Maynard said. “They did a great job. I had to make a lot of check-downs, I had to run a lot, I feel like, and they put a lot of pressure on me. Their D-line is great, athletic, they get to the ball fast and they basically did a great job today, as a defense.”

The 49ers won again
Despite having a crappy 2nd half on offense
Well, that one certainly wasn’t pretty. The San Francisco 49ers overcame a hideous offensive showing in the second half, holding on to defeat the Cleveland Browns 20-10 and improve to 6-1. While it was an ugly win that raises some question marks about aspects of the offense, the 49ers now stand four games up on the Seattle Seahawks after only seven games. They cannot sit back on the accomplishments to date but they have put themselves in an excellent position moving forward.
The 49ers got off to a hot start in the first quarter, jumping on top 10-0 in the first quarter. The 49ers dominated the Browns for much of the first half, running at will and having their way with the Browns offense. Frank Gore put up 103 yards in the first half and passed Roger Craig early in the second half to take over the second position on the 49ers all-time rushing leaderboard. For most of the first half, Gore had no problem gashing the Browns.
The passing game on the other hand was a bit all over the place. The 49ers had success on some Braylon Edwards slant patterns and I am a bit surprised we did not see more of that. Edwards is too big and physical for a lot of cornerbacks, which is perfect for that kind of route. The 49ers have had quite a few games where we will see something work really will and then the team seems to move away from it. I’m sure somebody out there can explain this better than I can.

Frank Gore made history in the game
He’s now the 2nd leading rusher in Niners history
In putting together another 125+ yard performance, Frank Gore continued his strong run of performances over the last five weeks. After a slow start due, Gore has been a workhorse in recent weeks. He has rushed for 125+ yards in four straight games, while also adding in a touchdown in each of the four games. This marked the first time in Gore’s career that he has rushed for a touchdown in four straight games.
More important in the “big picture” is that Frank Gore passed Roger Craig to take over the number two spot on the 49ers career rushing list. Gore now trails only Joe Perry for first place all time. Perry’s 7,344 yards is the franchise’s NFL record. Perry has 8,689 rushing yards for the 49ers if you add in their old AAFC days. Given those numbers, Gore’s 7,089 yards now trails Perry’s NFL franchise total by 255 yards. Gore would likely break the record against either the New York Giants in week ten or the Arizona Cardinals in week eleven. He needs exactly 1,600 more yards to pass Perry’s overall franchise record. If he can keep up his current pace, he would be able to set the overall record in the latter half of 2012.
I dont think you need the irl moniker unless Gore and Craig are frequenting NinersNation a lot!

Women's soccer lost at Oregon State
I would have said they were licked by the Beavers, but that would’ve been crude
The No. 22 California women’s soccer team’s tour of the Beaver State ended on a sour note – with a 3-0 loss to Oregon State on Sunday afternoon. The Beavers scored once in the first half and tallied two goals in the second for the key conference victory.
With the loss, Cal drops to 12-5-2 overall and 5-3-2 in the Pac-12 while OSU improves to 13-5-1 and 7-3-0 in conference play. Coming into the weekend, Cal was fourth in the Pac-12 while OSU was in second, behind first-place Stanford.
On the bright side, Cal got a split of the road trip
Bears beat Oregon on Friday
Sophomore Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick recorded her first career hat trick with three goals and an assist to lead the No. 22 California women’s soccer team to a 4-0 rout of Oregon Friday night at Pape Field in Eugene, Ore.
Junior Lauren Battung added a score for the Golden Bears, who improved to 12-4-2 overall and 5-2-2 in the Pac-12 Conference. The Ducks fell to 8-8-2 overall and 3-5-1 in the league with the loss.
“Tonight was a very good all-around team performance,” Cal head coach Neil McGuire said. “We received great goals from Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick and Lauren Battung to lift us past a hard-working and well-coached Oregon team.”
Fitzpatrick, who netted her first career goal against Oregon as a freshman last season, scored goals in the eighth, 52nd and 70th minute, while assisting on Battung’s score in the 58th minute.

Men's tennis competes at the Saint Mary's tournament
It didn’t go particularly well
The California men’s tennis team faced tough competition on the second day of the 2011 Saint Mary’s Gael Classic on the courts of the Timothy Korth Tennis Complex. The Golden Bears fell in singles quarterfinal and final matches, and were forced to withdraw from other matches due to injuries.
In the Red Flight singles quarterfinal, top-seeded junior Riki McLachlan won his first set, 7-5, over Nico Vinel of Santa Clara, but was edged in tiebreakers, 8-6, in the second set, and 7-3 in the third set.
Freshman Andrew Pises was defeated in the blue singles final by Will Martin of Saint Mary’s College as he withdrew following a 6-4, 1-0 result.
Senior Tommie Murphy dropped his singles consolation match to Michael Hui of UCLA, 6-2, 6-1. Murphy and freshman Andrew Scholnick were scheduled to play a doubles consolation match, but withdrew from the tournament.
Ohio!
I wonder of Ohio leads the nation in this kind of thing
Less than 24 hours after Cincinnati-area teacher Stacy Schuler was convicted on 16 counts of sexual battery, another Ohio teacher was indicted on similar charges. Schuler plead not guilty by reason of insanity when charged with having sex with students. Lancaster, Ohio, teacher Brian Barr was indicted Friday on three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a 13-year-old female student. A total of 19 Ohio teachers preceded Barr into the courtroom on charges relating to sexual misconduct with students this year.
Brian Barr — Lancaster
The 26-year-old Thomas Ewing Junior High School teacher and football coach was indicted for unlawful sex acts with a 13-year-old student. Law enforcement officers arrested Barr at the girl’s home last week after a tip from the girl’s father. He alerted police that he believed the young teenager was having sex with an older man. Barr was in his third year of teaching in the district and has been placed on paid leave pending the outcome of the trial. Barr plead not guilty and remains in Fairfield County Jail due to an inability to raise enough money to post the $50,000 bond.
Stacy Schuler — Cincinnati
Schuler was convicted Thursday on 16 felony counts of sexual battery. The Mason High School gym teacher and athletic trainer unsuccessfully plead insanity in her bench trail [sic]. Defense attorneys claim a mixture of the prescription drug Zoloft and alcohol Schuler provided when entertaining a series of five male students in her home rendered her unable to comprehend the nature of her actions of give consent for sexual intercourse. She was sentenced to a four-year prison sentence with the possibility of early judicial release, but must register as a sexual offender the rest of her life.

One tiny p[ositive from the game Saturday...
Was that Miller finally got some decent looks and made a few plays. He managed to.. oh shit! Maynard just threw another pick!
Inspiring and completing since1997 since2010!
There was also an odd play where Maynard threw at Miller. Miller ran the wrong way or wasnt looking or Maynard overthrew him or something and it was picked.
In the Game of Trolls, you either troll or you die.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
that was a stupendously awful pass to throw. Maynard came under and pressure and lobbed it in Miller’s general direction. Miller had no idea the ball was coming, especially on that trajectory so kept running his route while the safety just camped under it for the easy pick.
For that pass alone, Maynard would’ve been executed in my Totalitarian regime, much less for the other 2 horrific picks he threw. The 4th pick, I couldn’t tell if its was a bad pass, poor route, whatever. I was so disgusted I screamed “FUCK YOU” at the TV and turned it off so didn’t see any replays.

Maybe, but he’s running his route and the ball is not suppose to be there. I thought the same thing at first, but that’s not fair to Miller.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
but it is a live football game as opposed to practice, where things change dynamically and other inputs are at play, so maybe a little awareness of what’s going on around him would have been in order…
As you can tell, this game has annoyed me more than just about any game I can think of.
I’m kind of on the fence here…while running routes, I’m not sure I can always expect my receiver to keep looking back for the ball. I guess it comes with timing & chemistry between QB & receiver to know each others tendency
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
i think a little blame has to go to miller. without seeing the play (missed the game again, sigh…), if miller senses pressure before the snap, he should expect to break his route off
Deposed (and recently graduated!) #1 Indian
you’re probably right that Miller should get some of the blame. I wonder who was the hot receiver on that play (if there was one).
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
I don’t think so. If Miller wasn’t the hot receiver, he runs his route per normal and Maynard just didn’t put it where he should have.
You need to watch the play to understand just how stupid of a pass it was.

right. sure, the pressure was coming, but that’s why the best QBs either take the sack or throw the ball away to live another day. It’s clear he can get overwhelmed, so are the coaches simplifying Maynard’s tasks/prep for each game?
I know we’ve heard it before: Tedford’s plays/gameplans are way too complex. If there’s some truth to that, then he’s got a serious flaw if he is unwilling to simplify it.

As much as I hate to acknowledge it, it seems as though there has been little or no improvement for Maynard’s accuracy from his Buffalo days under the tutelage of Tedford. IIRC Maynard threw as many touchdowns as interceptions at Buffalo. Are we there yet?
It seems to me that we either need to give Maynard the freedom to revert to his sandlot football style (as seen in the Fresno State game) or get Bridgford in there as a “system guy” who can fulfill his role (managing the offense and throwing accurate passes) in JT’s offensive system.
However, it all starts with the big uglies and they have to perform better if we want to see any improvement at all. BTW – watched a little of Washington State last weekend – they played Oregon tough for over 1/2 the game….. this week is not a guaranteed win by any means.
Miller looked AWFULLY cavalier on that play though.

He never saw it until too late. I agree that if your a receiver, and a defender is jumping your route, you have to fight to make sure the defender doesn’t catch it – but he never got to that point. This one’s 100% on Maynard in my mind.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
A lot of Miller’s route running is not particularly crisp. He didn’t even notice there was an interception. You can see him realize it after like two seconds of “Huhhhhhh?”
…and even when he saw the situation I don’t believe he actually chased after the guy to tackle him. He just watched.

Oh, that’s what you meant. Growing up though, you barely ever even saw brown folks in the media, let alone as the central character or anything. There was no Outsourced. No Tom Haverford or Abed-style character on Thursday night sitcoms. The closest thing I can think of was Tony Shalhoub playing the taxi driver on Wings. So, to have a sweet Disney animated feature with a hero who looked sorta like me was a major novelty. And of course it didn’t hurt that it’s an incredibly entertaining film.

Get rid of Tedford AND Clancy P
Fire Tedford because he has topped. His answers over the weekend for why the team played so poorly show an amazing incompetence. He is lost.
However if Tedford stays then Clancy goes. When their backup QB runs for almost 200 yards and ends up playing like Kapernick I say Clancy needs to go. Granted the offense was pathetic but the defense just plain stunk up the place.
This shows me a team playing with no intelligence. Hell at least Gregory would have made some kind of adjustment. Our DC made things look worse in the second half. That was truly pathetic.
When you bring a guy in from the NFL who sees virtually the same offense from week to week it is extremely challenging for them when they coach in the college game. Every week an opposing team may bring a different offense and some are extremely tricky. Clancy doesn’t understand the college game. He is learning on the fly and probably needs to depend upon his LB and secondary coaches for understanding. Is that the kind of DC we need?
He made the Colorado QB and WR look like all world but neither one of them have played that well since.
This will only get worse with Tedford’s head in his @ss and Clancy coaching without one.

LA Trip Thoughts!
So I thought I’d quickly recap my thoughts from this weekend’s trip:
1) I was a little underwhelmed when I first walked into the Rose Bowl at 4 pm. But by the time the sun set, I was sufficiently whelmed.
2) The tailgating scene at fUCLA, and, well, most other schools, seems to beat ours.
3) I cannot live in LA. The overreliance on driving everywhere is not my thing. But, most importantly, the importance of apperances in the LA culture is just not something I want to deal with. And by appearances, I don’t mean looks; I mean people trying ot show off their money, etc. Just the way people think down there is very different.
4) Cookie Monster is the best costume ever.

Just before I talked to you I had a lulz experience. I went to the bathroom, washed my hands, dried them on a paper towel, then did my best impression of Zach Maynard and tossed the towel towards a trashcan, missed by oh, about a yard, and hit a guy in the leg. He saw, looked up, and gave me a look that said “you already know what a total and complete dumbfuck you are, so I’m just going to give you this look. *look *.” I sheepishly picked up the towel, apologized, and left.

Way to go out on top
Tony La Russa retired as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday, three days after winning a dramatic, seven-game World Series against the Texas Rangers.
“I think this just feels like it’s time to end it,” the 67-year-old La Russa said at a news conference at Busch Stadium.
The World Series win over Texas was the third of La Russa’s 33-year career. The manager guided the Cardinals to the championship despite being 10½ games behind Atlanta on Aug. 25 for the final playoff spot in the National League.
La Russa retires third on the all-time wins list, 35 behind second-place John McGraw. In addition to this season, he won championships in Oakland in 1989 and St. Louis in 2006.

But I think it’s unintentionally a pretty interesting look at what can happen to the psyche of a team when the QB doesn’t get it done. You have to wonder how this affects players. It’s been a few years for Cam and he’s still upset.
I thought the Nate Longshore special was playing well for three quarters
THEN throwing the picks in the 4th Quarter.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Fun fact
Nate Longshore never threw 4 INTs in a game. His career high was 3, which he did twice — at Ucla in 2007 and at Arizona in 2006, two of our most faceplantiest losses of all time.

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs
I didn’t know much about computers. I still worked on a manual Olivetti typewriter.
I told Steve I’d recently considered my first purchase of a computer: something called the Cromemco.
Steve told me it was a good thing I’d waited. He said he was making something that was going to be insanely beautiful.
I want to tell you a few things I learned from Steve, during three distinct periods, over the 27 years I knew him. They’re not periods of years, but of states of being. His full life. His illness. His dying.
Steve worked at what he loved. He worked really hard. Every day.
That’s incredibly simple, but true.

Does anybody watch the show "Pan Am"?
They had scenes set in the Cal campus in the last episode. One character, Maggie, worked in the registrar’s office (looked kinda like Doe Library to me). She ended up sitting in on classes (probably a set), and getting into trouble when she actually takes the final exam. She wears a cute yellow cardigan with a blue block C in one scene (basically the girl version of Oski’s outfit).

Serious question for board
two of my best friends are husband / wife (mid 60s / early 50s). I shared something / asked for advice from husband… not with wife. Now wife is pissed because she thinks we’re keeping secrets. I wouldn’t have minded telling her in a different manner, but it’s really none of her business and I don’t like being forced into doing something and I don’t think she’s “entitled” to know it. But I don’t want this to be an annoying issue for them either.
Seriously, are husbands / wives obligated to share everything like this with each other?
What to do?
Serious, no they don’t share everything, is this business related or personal?

personal. wife and i were friends first (for about 20 years) and husband and i Have been friends for about 10 years. They are both awesome people but the wife can get a little controlling and spun up. so just not something I wanted to discuss with her, though there’s no reason I can’t… but now I’m just annoyed… i can’t stand the middle aged woman martyr pressure tactic, if you know what i mean.

FWIW – Two responses
1) Apparently this person has learned that punitive anger/ threat of emotional consequences (read withdrawal of affection) are powerful weapons in achieving her goals (this is generally true BTW), and apparently feels threatened ( with regard to you, or by her husband??) by her exclusion from the information to the point where the “big guns” are required.
A) Nature of the threat? Either Loss of Control related to lack of access to information she perceives as valuable; or, perceived loss of support from you – within the husband-wife-fiatlux relationship
2) Why can’t you tell her to get the information from her husband if she really thinks needs it?
2) That would be unfair to him. I don’t want to put him in an awkward position of then having to betray my trust.
I’ll just tell her because it really doesn’t matter that much and in the end of the day I value both their friendship… but i’ll be annoyed about. But that too will pass.
Uh no, there is no obligation to share, especially if you’ve asked that person to keep it quiet for whatever reason.

In my experience, many husbands & wives assume “don’t tell anyone” does not include their spouse, who they view as just an extension of themselves when it comes to information. I always preface conversations with my married friends with “you can’t tell anyone, even jim/janie, is that OK? Because if not, we’re not going to talk about it.”
One thing that makes this situation awkward is that you were her friend first. She probably still views you as “her” friend rather than “theirs.”
I tell my wife everything. I even read every single DBD comment to her at night to bring her up to date on my day. I ttakes 4 houors every night.

Where am I wrong here?
So 4th quarter, after another terrible INT by Maynard, fUCLA drives and then fumbles. Cal recovers. Then sits there on the sideline forever, while they show the replay on the board twice, then it gets reviewed.
Why didn’t Cal take the ball and snap it to prevent a review?

Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce 72 days after marrying former Nevada basketball player Kris Humphries.
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce Monday morning, after 72 days of not-so-wedded bliss to Kris Humphries … TMZ has learned, and now we have the documents.
We’re told even though the marriage was short, she is not seeking an annulment. It’s a garden variety divorce, in which Kim cites “irreconcilable differences.”
The date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011. According to the docs, Kim wants Kris to foot his own lawyers’ fees and she’ll pay hers. And, she wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support.
And, the docs list the length of the marriage as a measly 2 months.
Kim has hired disso-queen Laura Wasser, who has repped the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie, Ryan Reynolds, and Robyn Gibson, Mel’s almost ex-wife.
As we first reported, the couple has a prenuptial agreement … Kim made sure of that.

The Pac-12 is probably getting the form reprimand letter ready
Lane Kiffin says he was lied to by the officials on Saturday night
A full day after the Trojans’ 56-48 loss to Stanford in triple overtime, USC coach Lane Kiffin maintained Sunday that he was deceived by the Pac-12 referees officiating Saturday’s game.
Kiffin, USC’s second-year head coach, said he told an unspecified referee before the final play of regulation that he wanted a timeout after the Trojans ran a play, which began with nine seconds left on the game clock. But receiver Robert Woods winded a screen pass the opposite way and was tackled inbounds with one second left, and the clock was left to run out into overtime.
It was originally ruled that Woods was tackled out of bounds with no time left on the clock. While the play was being reviewed, Kiffin reminded side judge Brad Glenn to tell the head referee that he had requested the timeout, and he said he received an assurance that the timeout would be called if it was ruled after the review that there was one second left.
“I was basically lied to,” Kiffin said Sunday.
If USC had been allowed to run another play with one second, the Trojans would have attempted a 50-yard field goal as time expired.
Hooray for Pac-12 refs! Wonder when he will get his reprimand (unless he crafted his words carefully).

so, honestly, this joke meme is lame if you’re just going to say “and i’ll over throw the x by 5 feet”
you need to let people infer that…
it needs to be something like

Berkeley city: No truth to viral email predicting earthquake
http://www.berkeleyside.com/2011/10/31/berkeley-officials-no-truth-to-email-predicting-earthquake/
An email that has gone viral that predicts an imminent quake on the Hayward fault is causing widespread concern in Berkeley, but city officials say its premise is false.
The email, which began spreading on Friday, says that geologists have told Berkeley officials that the recent spate of small earthquakes suggest that there will be a 6.0 quake or higher on the Hayward Fault within the next two to three weeks.
City officials have not been specially briefed by geologists, and there is no way of predicting earthquakes, numerous city officials told Berkeleyside.
Gawd forbid that there should be an earthquake 6.0 or greater anytime soon
In that case, the conspiracy theorists just will not shut up about how government officials knew there was a quake coming but warned no one.
And people wonder why its important to fund education. Unbelievable.

California teachers lack the resources and time to teach science
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-science-20111031,0,3957251.story
At some Los Angeles elementary schools, teachers have drastically cut time for science because of pressure to focus on reading and math. If they can incorporate science into class time, they say they mostly have to buy their own supplies.
And educators from the state’s high-tech epicenter of Silicon Valley say some students come to high school having never once conducted an experiment in earlier grades.
California, known as a global symbol of scientific and technological excellence, is failing to invest enough time, money and training to teach science well, according to interviews and a new survey of more than 1,100 elementary school teachers and administrators.
Only 10% of elementary students regularly receive hands-on science lessons, the report found. Just one-third of elementary teachers said they feel prepared to teach science, and 85% said they have not received any training during the last three years, according to the survey conducted by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning at WestEd, the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley, SRI International and others.
wouldn’t it suck if an earthquake hit before the stadium was renovated and made earthquake safe, destroying everything?

on wednesday.
http://sfist.com/2011/10/31/oakland_general_strike_plans_to_shu.php
Last week, over 1,600 people at the Occupy Oakland General Assembly voted to approve a resolution to shut down the city of Oakland with a citywide general strike this Wednesday, November 2nd. The proposed strike intends to close all banks and corporations for the day, while calling on laborers, teachers and students to join mass gatherings at 14th and Broadway at 9 a.m, 12 noon and 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Support for the general strike extends beyond the protesters at Frank Ogawa Plaza, as the strike has also been endorsed by labor union SEIU Local 1021 and the the teachers of the Oakland Educational Association.
In addition to staging a walkout of businesses and schools, the protest intends to shut down the Port of Oakland by forming a picket line before the 7 p.m. night shift.
In the city, Occupy San Francisco has also pledged support, with some members planning to meet at Justin Herman Plaza before taking BART to meet up with protesters in Oakland. There is, of course, the possibility that SFPD or BART officials could shutdown San Francisco BART stations during evening commute hours on Wednesday in order to block a mass movement across the Bay.
Businesses will return in droves, crime will go down, and in general people will live much happier existences?

Well... here's Bill Simmons' take
By the way, I don’t think Manning is coming back. Three neck surgeries in two years? Stem cell treatments in Europe? This seems insane. He won a Super Bowl, set some records and made more than enough money. Why risk it? What’s the point? You don’t mess around with heads, necks and backs. My personal take: I think Indy knows he’s probably not coming back; that’s just one of the 27 reasons they haven’t fired Jim Caldwell yet. They need Andrew Luck as much as Miami does.
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Hmm. I dunno. Rams really fucked up yesterday!!!
In the Game of Trolls, you either troll or you die.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
Yeah, but even if they end up with the #1 pick, there’s no way they’re going to draft Luck. They’ve got Bradford on the books for wayyy too much.
right i agree. they won’t draft luck tho. that’s the point. “suck for luck” implies that they will draft luck to fix their QB situation, which I don’t believe is the case. it’s just a question of whether Indy or Miami will pay that kings ransom (I think its Miami)
miami hasn’t had a qb since marino. read somewhere they’ve started about 30 different guy since he retired (most in the nfl).
Oh, I meant rookie salary cap.
Bradford’s salary is higher than Andrew Luck’s will be
2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Kings ransom = a bunch of number 1 picks though. At least 2 first rounders, probably a handful of second rounders. Getting top pick this draft will either mean getting Luck or getting enough picks to rebuild your team in 2 years.
I will hate the Colts forever if that happens.
I don’t think enough has been made of how lucky the San Antonio Spurs were, when they sucked for one year and got the #1 pick to draft David Robinson, and then he went down with an injury in the year Tim Duncan went into the draft. And now it’s happening with the Colts.

Mike Silver on Tebow:
DENVER – During more than two decades of covering the NFL, I’ve heard players disparage opponents on numerous occasions. As a journalist who has yet to be crushed by the proliferation of trash-talk, I’ve happily facilitated this dastardly dissing and shared it with the masses when given the chance.
Usually, these statements are designed to rile a rival, or to send a message that a player and his team won’t be intimidated. On Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, however, Tim Tebow(notes) was disrobed and demystified by a superior team – and then the young quarterback got low-blowed with a degree of disrespect that blew my mind.
More From Michael Silver
Chiefs return from abyss to make noise Oct 28, 2011
Memo to Goodell: Stop being a hypocrite Oct 26, 2011
Louis Delmas and the Lions turned Tim Tebow’s world upside down.
(AP)
"Can you believe ’15’?" one Detroit Lions defender asked after his team’s 45-10 immolation of Tebow and the Denver Broncos. "Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’ "
It would be one thing if this particular defender could be written off as an outlier, but during the time I spent in the Lions’ locker room after the game – and, later, on the phone with various coaches, front-office executives and players around the league – similarly harsh assessments were uttered about the second-year quarterback making his second start of the 2011 season.
Words like atrocious, terrible, completely exposed and not even close to ready kept coming up in these conversations; a couple of Lions even used the term oh my god. They did not appear to be mocking Tebow’s devout Christian beliefs – however, at least two Detroit players (middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch(notes) and tight end Tony Scheffler(notes)) made a point of "Tebowing" during the game, imitating the prayerful pose the quarterback struck following the previous Sunday’s stunning overtime victory over the Miami Dolphins.

it’s like this. Tebow has a lot of faith, that’s cool, to each their own. He does make some statements praising baby jeebus like a lot of athletes, also cool, to each their own. His personal life involved a lot of church related stuff, also cool.
From all this, evangelicals have made Tebow their favored son, so you better damn well respect or it it on. That’s the issue, not so much Tebow himself.

Luck I dislike just because he sneezes out snot, has an ugly beard and he’s a damn good player that plays for our rival.

Look if he didn’t keep talking about his religion (or if the media could stop) then I wouldn’t hate him.
Irrational? Yes. Stupid? Yes. But it is what it is. Everyone has irrational things sometimes.

What the fuck!?
The small building in India’s south-eastern state of Andhra Pradesh was once home to a family of four. But everything changed the evening that Laxmi Narayan found his 20-year-old daughter, Monica, on fire. Unable to cope with the grief, and the constant reminders of what happened, the family decided to move in with relatives.
Monica’s family had borrowed about 50,000 rupees ($1,100) from a microfinance company. However, unable to make the repayments, the family say they were harassed and humiliated by recovery agents from the lender. One evening last October, agents told Monica’s parents that the young woman should be sold to pay off the loan. For Monica, it was the final insult. She poured kerosene over herself and set herself alight.Narayan says he tried desperately to save her. The scars on his face and hands are a permanent reminder of his failure to do so.
In other words, Go Bears!
I’ve been told many many times by my Indian International Finance professor that debt is a much bigger deal for people in India. There is a stigma, a guilt, all for having just a little bit of debt, even if that debt is to buy seeds to plant your crop. To have as much debt as even the average American is just apocolyptic. I can understand at least in some small part why this would seem hopeless and out of control for the borrowers, and probably why the lenders feel they have the right to demand repayment. It’s viewed as a sign of ill-worth. (Or so says my Finance professor who is from India).
Cal: Bears with Books.
Interesting. I remember when I was young my all of our extended families used to make fun of my Dad for using credit cards. They though it was stupid and you should carry cash around all the time. But my Dad ignored that and now even I use credit cards for almost everything. I guess the reluctance to use CCs probably stems from that aversion to debt.
In other words, Go Bears!
Yea, it really says something too about how casual Americans are about using credit for EVERYTHING. Plus, I’m much cooler when I use my credit to buy BLING. /American
Cal: Bears with Books.
Well it’s not a problem to use CC for everything (like I do), as long as you pay off the bill in its entirety by the end of the month. Do not pay only a portion and have to end up paying the interest rate.
I bet the banks hate me.
In other words, Go Bears!
Depends what your business is. As Scootie has pointed out, you’re an ideal customer for her former company.
It has something to do with the way that the credit card companies borrow the money to pay for you or something
In the Game of Trolls, you either troll or you die.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
More or less, I’m sure Ms. Scootie can explain it better, but overall, a company like AMEX is going for lower leverage, high output. If you pay off your credit card immediately after every purchase (let’s pretend that purchase was $1000), AMEX pockets somewhere in the neighborhood of $30-40 just for using your card and is required to hold $0. If you were to make that purchase and not pay back immediately, now AMEX has to serve as a loan, and needs to hold more capital to “back” your loan. Even if you wait a month to pay it off, they’d make, say $40 on the fee plus $40 on the interest ($80 total) but required to hold $1000 on their balance sheets.
And I’m totes not doing this justice.
I better Raptorcalspe could do it justice!
In the Game of Trolls, you either troll or you die.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
Ok I can do slightly better.
AMEX operates like a charge card (which is how you use your card)
Other cards operate like a credit card which is the business model you are mostly referencing.
Both can be used as charge cards. The way you structure your finances as a charge card has to do with what you figure, as a business, your core operation is about (are you providing a convenient vehicle for spending (a la Neiman Marcus) or are you providing a form of debt financing)

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer_extra/2011/10/peeing_your_pants_why_do_people_urinate_when_they_re_scared_.html
Blame the limbic system. Bladder control requires a sophisticated interplay of brain regions. An area of the brainstem known as the pontine micturition center is in constant contact with the bladder. It knows when pressure is building, and makes the preliminary decision to void. Thankfully, this area doesn’t have exclusive control over our bathroom habits, or we’d urinate whenever (and wherever) our bladders become full. The prefrontal cortex can override the desire to pee by sending an inhibitory signal to the brainstem. Under stressful conditions, however, the inhibitory signals from the frontal lobe can themselves be overridden by the limbic system, a combination of brain areas that controls the famous "fight or flight" response. When we become stressed or anxious, electrical signals from the limbic system become so intense that the brainstem has trouble following the frontal lobe’s commands. That’s why many people urinate more frequently before important exams or in the starting corral of a marathon. In life-threatening situations, the limbic system’s orders become so urgent that you can’t even make it to the bathroom.

Sick of always losing to China in the FIBA Asia Championships, which act as qualifiers for the Olympics and World Championships, the country has taken advantage of some lax laws on citizenship to stock their team with talent from around the world. It doesn’t matter if you have Filipino bloodlines, only that you’re willing to play.
The latest is Wizards center JaVale McGee, who has reported expressed his willingness to join Smart Gilas Pilipinas, a developmental team that plays together year-round and generally makes up the national team’s roster for international competitions. A Filipino passport is a requirement for Smart Gilas players, which one might think would be a roadblock for the Michigan-born McGee. But do you remember how we called the country basketball-crazed? We weren’t joking: lawmakers are ready to push through an Act of Congress to give McGee citizenship.
Manny Pacquaio will surely let this pass, he’s a congressman in the south.

but what happens if they don’t beat the chinese?
does pacman knock mcgee out? or does mcgee’s reach advantage cancel out pacquiao’s hand speed?

On KA21 being double covered: “Nope, they were in zone.”
On Kendricks not playing: “Suspension.”
On Kendricks’ 2nd suspension (1st was against blue hoes): “Nope. I don’t remember that.”
Coach P on Kendricks not in practice: “Thumb bla bla bla.”
Conspiracy theory: Ted Jefford calling injuries suspensions!

24. California
The Bears did well to make the NIT during what was to have been a transition year, and they now return four starters and one of the most experienced teams in the Pac-12. Jorge Gutierrez and Harper Kamp are scrappy seniors who have set the tone, and reigning conference freshman of the year Allen Crabbe is oozing with potential. Coach Mike Montgomery, who is healthy after a battle with bladder cancer this offseason, built rival Stanford into a powerhouse and now looks to bring consistency to a program that two years ago captured the Pac-10 title. The Bears will be playing into mid-March if they manage to stay healthy and develop some depth because their starting lineup should be solid if not spectacular. No question big things can happen in Haas Pavilion this season. — Diamond Leung

Sure, I definitely trust Monty to put together a good basketball team, but I think it would be substantially easier and maybe the team would be better than otherwise with some of these top talents on it that are instead going to fucking Eugene, Oregon to play on this monstrosity.

and who knows if oregon will be any good?
they could very well end up being ucla under lavin; a squad of very beatable mcdonald’s all-americans.
dana altman put together a solid program at Creighton, though. i think he’s a pretty good coach

They could, but I’d rather the all-americans came to Cal to be tutored by Monty.

true, but i’m not going to complain about kids that don’t want to come to cal. it’s their loss, not ours.
It can be both, especially if they go to a conference rival.

For Asia Society Museum, Choe has created a kinetic, seal-like creature that appears to be breathing while dozens of intricate “wings,” leaf-like and gold in color, flutter above him. Guardian of the Hole (Custos Cavum in Latin) is the name of the piece, and its creation was inspired by a 10th-century Indian sculpture, Shiva as Lord of Dance (see image below), part of the Asia Society’s Mr. And Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III Collection. The exhibition is part of an ongoing In Focus series in which contemporary artists create new works inspired by Asia Society’s permanent collection.
According to Choe’s story, Custos Cavum guards the flow of communication between two realms. Just as the Hindu god Shiva represents balance and harmony, the Guardian is also a symbol of coexistence.
Both epic and creepy at the same time. It’s a doggy dog world!

There’s no eating or competing going on in that picture, so I think Cugel’s version is appropriate and probably a pun.

For the third straight week, a Pac-12 game involving Cal was not picked up by one of the television networks. Cal is once again working to get it carried on one of the Comcast SportsNet channels.

2000 anyone???
Come on, can’t let a devastatingly demoralizing downer of a defeat to UCLA deter us.
Or can we?
You want 2000 mentality? Okay then!
Boy howdy, I sure hope we score more than one touchdown this week! Maybe if the defense works, we can actually have a close game!

2000 Mentality?
I know a lot of people out there are worried, but I think we’ve bottomed out on the NASDAQ. Down 40% from its high this year, this is a great buying opportunity and I see the NASDAQ bouncing back in the next couple years!

Nobody got it.
In 2000, Cal defeated UCLA in triple OT, 46-38. Beating a good UCLA team was in distinct contrast to the rest of the season, in which Cal was 2-8. Cal’s other wins that season were against Utah (24-21 in Game 1) and USC (28-16 in Los Angeles in Game 8).

Right. 3-8.
