Insight Bowl
Minnesota’s life post-Glen Mason has been nothing if not Mason-esque, with the Gophers struggling through back-to-back six-loss seasons under Tim Brewster.The Cyclones had clearly hit rock bottom roughly a year ago, when its second-year coach, Gene Chizik, ditched his rebuilding project for the job at Auburn. As part of his rationale for leaving Ames, Chizik claimed the difficulty in producing a winner at Iowa State to be too demanding a task.

Dave Brubeck
Read more about this person from the article of en.wikipedia.org:
David Warren "Dave" Brubeck (born December 6, 1920) is an American jazz pianist. He has written a number of jazz standards, including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style ranges from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother's attempts at classical training and his improvisational skills. His music is known for employing unusual time signatures, and superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities.
His long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, wrote the Dave Brubeck Quartet's best remembered piece, "Take Five", which is in 5/4 time and has endured as a jazz classic. Brubeck experimented with time signatures throughout his career, recording "Pick Up Sticks" in 6/4, "Unsquare Dance" in 7/4, and "Blue Rondo à la Turk" in 9/8. He is also a respected composer of orchestral and sacred music, and wrote soundtracks for television such as Mr. Broadway and the animated miniseries This Is America, Charlie Brown.

"Mythbusters takes myths, tall tales and urban legends and gives them the scientific treatment to determine their validity. Myths are proved true, probable, possible, improbable or busted. Often after the real-world practical tests have proved or debunked a Myth, the team will take the experiment to the extreme, many times using more modern technology than the myth could have used or upping the black powder for impressive explosions."

Her book, which was called The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, it was a best seller when it was published in 1949. It was also made into some very successful German/ Austrian movies, titled, The Trapp Family made in 1956, and The Trapp Family in America made in 1958.
The book was then later adapted to The Sound of Music, which was also very successful as a Broadway Musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein. This then launched onto the immensely popular U.S. motion picture.

blackberry outage december 22
Users of Research In Motion's Blackberry smart phones struggled with an e-mail outage Tuesday evening.
Phone calling and texting services appeared to be functional, but users in North America were unable to send or receive e-mail messages. Would-be users tweeted their frustration on social networking site Twitter. Some said they also could not connect to the Internet.
Waterloo, Ontario-based Research in Motion Ltd. didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.
It marks the second time in less than a week that BlackBerry users in North America have had to deal with e-mail outages on their Blackberry devices. Research In Motion said last Thursday that technicians had isolated and resolved the issue and were investigating the cause. RIM didn't say how many users were affected or how long that outage lasted.

Hazy Shade of Winter
Hear the salvation army band Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride Than what you've got planned Carry your cup in your hand And look around, leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friend That's an easy thing to say, but if your hope should pass away It's simply pretend That you can build them again Look around, the grass is high The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Won't you stop and remember me At any convenient time Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme Drinking my vodka and lime

Dexter Season 5
Clyde Phillips the executive producer explained,”The story evolved and it kind of became inevitable. We knew that we had to do more than kill Trinity. It’s a little bit of a corner that we paint ourselves into. Last year we tried to avoid that and actually I think we didn’t do as well as we could have.” in answer to why they also had Rita fall.
The shocking finale, on Sunday Dec 13, leaves us with a insight of Dexter’s own memories. And how he watched his mother die in front of him and also soaked in her blood, with Rita leaving to go to a romantic escapade only to forget her ID, this is when she ends up being murdered in the bathtub, by Trinity. Meanwhile the baby Harrison is left crying in a pool of her blood.Phillips also revealed that Julie Benz who plays Rita, was not too happy about being killed off. “She loved being with us. We loved having her with us. She took it… professionally. She was greatly disappointed. She’s a professional. She works in television. She knew that this was a possibility.”
The writers also had an alternative ending for the finale, which was not chosen at the end. “While Dexter was packing to leave, he saw on the television that a child murderer had just escaped from prison. Either escaped or fallen thru the cracks. So he’s thinking, ‘Do I join Rita on vacation or do I…’ and then he looks towards the camera and he has this big decision,” Phillips explained.
We will be waiting till around September for the shows return, where we can see the outcome to Deb finding out that Dex is related to the Ice Truck Killer, and if she will find out about his alter ego.

BCS Bowl Games - In a Word: Disappointing
That TCU would get to play Florida.
That Boise State would get to play Cincinnati
I wanted those matchups because I'm sure people still think that Florida is a great team and they only lost to the best team in the country and would beat anyone else. I see a TCU team that would be able to match up physically on defense against Florida and it would be fun to watch a so called "mid major" chase Tebow around all day and knock the rest of that team into the dirt. Essentially, I view TCU as a team that has not only the best chance to beat Florida, but to shame them. I wanted to see Boise State play Cincy because the two teams could possibly provide enough electricity to power an entire third world country for a year and would play in what would have been the most exciting bowl game of the year.
Instead, we're getting what we're getting and the powers that be in college football have figured out a way to screw up what should not be screw-up-able.
So here are the matchups (all rankings BCS)
Citi National Championship GameJanuary 7, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. PTPasadena, California
No. 2 Texas (13-0) vs. No. 1 Alabama (13-0)
Hooray. Have you ever seen an elephant eat a longhorn before? Well, we're going to witness that crime against nature on January 7. This will not be an exciting game. This will be a beating. There are enough cooking shows on TV now that we've all seen a professional chef expertly dice up onions. He's precise and lightning fast. Alabama is the chef in this analogy and Texas is the onion, except instead of using a knife, Alabama is going to use a mallet. I just see them bashing Texas into oblivion. Whatever the under is, bet that, and whatever the spread is, bet on Alabama. Trust me. They're going to kill Texas.
Allstate Sugar BowlJanuary 1, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. PTNew Orleans, Louisiana
No. 3 Cincinnati (12-0) vs. No. 5 Florida (12-1)
As we saw in the final BCS rankings, Cincy came in third with a BCS % of .888 (Alabama .998; Texas .943; Cincy .888; TCU 884; Florida .864; Boise State .811), which narrowly edged them over TCU, so if Texas would have lost, Cincy would have played Alabama in the title game, but just barely (by 2 one hundredths). And freakin' Florida is still ranked higher than Boise State. As much as I love college football I hate it as well. It's corrupt and ridiculous. It looks like the Harris Poll and the Coaches Poll liked TCU better, but the computers put Cincy and Florida over TCU. What? I like Cincy's chances to score on Florida because they have the athletes that can get up and down the field, plus they're playing in a dome and they've got enough speed to do some damage. Also do not underestimate how massively disappointed that Florida is because they are not playing in the big show. I give Cincy a great chance in this game, even if they give up points like they've bet the over.

Discount Medspa
In the U.S., it is illegal for anyone but a doctor or nurse practitioner to prescribe drugs to patients and only pharmacists can dispense drugs to people.
Discountmedspa sells a variety of other DIY cosmetic treatments, including prescription Renova, and lip-filling gels.
Laurie D’Alleva, a lady from Texas, who appears to be the site’s proprietor, performs treatments on herself in self-made videos posted to the site’s YouTube channel.
Wired.com reported that such sites are brazenly circumventing regulations that protect consumers from bad or fake drugs and ensure that the chemicals are used correctly.
