2008 NCAA Football Week 13: Betting Odds and Picks

oklahoma 2008 NCAA Football Week 13:  Betting Odds and PicksI was right about Miami winning last week, but they failed to cover by 2 points, SCRUBS! I thought I was being soo sneaky on the Stanford plus 22.5 play which I ended up winning by the half point hook, but they looked like they were going to win the game after the first half of play and then they pissed it down their legs in the 4th quarter, I still covered…  This week on Thursday we have (23)Miami at Georgia Tech and then the Saturday night game is between Big 12 rivals (2) Texas Tech at (5)Oklahoma which will have serious implications on which bowl games will be assigned to which teams.  Below are the Spreads and my picks.

2008 NCAA Week 12: Betting Odds and Picks

usc 2008 NCAA Week 12:  Betting Odds and PicksOk, so I was all the way right on VT last week even without the spread available I called them to win, I was half right with my LSU +3 pick but then they went to overtime and Bama squeezed in a TD instead of being gentlemen and just kicking a field goal thus allowing me to push on the 3 points. Bastards…  This week since I’m feeling so good about the Virginia Tech pick I am going to pick their matchup with Miami this Thursday and then a Pac 10 matchup between (6)USC at Stanford on Saturday night.  Below you will find the spreads and my picks as well as links to all the NCAA matchups this week.

Rally Dakar 2009

dakar Rally Dakar 2009

Más de 500 participantes de casi 50 países participarán en el Rally ‘Dakar Argentina-Chile 2009?, que fue presentado este miércoles en Issy Le Molineaux, en las afueras de París, y que se disputará del 3 al 18 de enero, con 5.656 km de especiales en un total de 9.500 km.

Un año después de ser anulado por amenazas de atentados terroristas en Africa, el Dakar, mítico rally africano creado en 1979 por Thierry Sabine, cambiará de continente para aventurarse en una “edición excepcional con un gran recorrido”, según su director, Etienne Lavigne.

Después de una salida simbólica el 2 de enero por la tarde, el Dakar arrancará el día 3 en Buenos Aires con la participación de 530 aventureros de 49 nacionalidades distintas, un tercio de ellos llegados de Francia, nación más representada por delante de Holanda y España.

La caravana del Dakar estará integrada por 230 motos, 30 quads, 188 autos y 82 camiones y un 65% de los frustrados participantes del Dakar-2008 participarán en esta nueva edición.

La Patagonia, el desierto de Atacama o la cordillera de los Andes serán el escenario de ensueño del Dakar-2009, divido en 14 etapas con una jornada de descanso en Valparaíso (Chile) el sábado 10 de enero.

Las primeras etapas, en las llanuras de la Pampa, técnicamente fáciles y muy rápidas, servirán de rodaje para los participantes antes de atravesar el norte de la Patagonia rumbo a la dificultad, con especiales cada vez más técnicas y complicadas que comenzarán a marcar las diferencias.

La trilogía chilena será “el corazón del rally”, juzgó David Castera, director deportivo. Son “la firma del Dakar por la diversidad de paisajes”, unas etapas muy difíciles con cientos de kilómetros de dunas que garantizan “un gran espectáculo” y donde se alcanzarán los 4.700 metros de altura en el Paso San Francisco en la vuelta del rally a Argentina.

“El Dakar se renueva”, señaló Frédéric Lequien, director adjunto, sobre una edición que contará con un 20% de debutantes en autos y un 40% en motos.

El mítico rally sigue siendo una “carrera para aficionados”, quienes representan el 80% del total de los participantes, aunque serán los ‘profesionales’ quienes se jueguen la victoria final.

Mitsubishi, con cuatro nuevos autos con motor diésel, defenderá su título ante la amenaza del equipo Volkswagen con un Carlos Sainz más en forma que nunca.

Por primera vez, los tres primeros equipos (Mitsubishi, Volkswagen y BMW) rodarán con la misma tecnología.

“Será un Dakar extremadamente abierto, la carrera debería ser emocionante”, aseguró Lequien, que destacó la participación del chileno Eliseo Salazar, que debutará en el Dakar después de una larga carrera con experiencias en la Indy Car y la Fórmula 1.

Entre los ‘outsiders’ figura el polifacético Robby Gordon, primer estadounidense en ganar una etapa del Dakar. “El recorrido está hecho a su medida, podría acabar entre los tres o cuatro primeros”, señaló el director adjunto del Dakar.

En motos, al menos una decena de participantes pueden aspirar al podio, entre ellos el español Isidre Esteve y el francés Cyril Despres, ganador del Dakar en 2005 y 2007.

Frente a un recorrido desconocido, “todo el mundo partirá de cero, será una carrera abierta y apretada”, vaticinó Lequien.

El ‘Dakar Argentina-Chile 2009? será retransmitido en 189 países y 25 cadenas estarán presentes sobre el terreno.

En un futuro, el mítico rally podría volver a Africa, “pero es complicado en este contexto”, aseguró el director del Dakar, quien explicó que podría prolongar su estancia en América Latina en función del éxito de esta edición y de la evolución de la situación en Africa.

CONGO WILL NEED MORE COOPERATION !!

baby from congo 150x150 CONGO WILL NEED MORE COOPERATION !!The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today began distributing food to over 135,000 people displaced by fighting in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which has forced an estimated 250,000 people to flee their homes in recent months.

The distributions are aimed at internally displaced persons (IDPs) in six camps around Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu, which has been the scene of deadly fighting between Government forces (FARDC) and the rebel National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP), led by renegade general Laurent Nkunda.

While clashes are continuing in some parts of North Kivu, a recent ceasefire is reportedly stillWFP is responding as quickly as possible to deliver food to people who’ve been brutalised too many times over many years holding in Goma, which has a swelling population of between 700,000 and 1 million.

“WFP is responding as quickly as possible to deliver food to people who’ve been brutalised too many times over many years,” said Mustapha Darboe, WFP Regional Director for Southern, Eastern and Central Africa.

“Now they are suffering again. Tens of thousands have been uprooted in North Kivu and we are doing everything we can to find them and help them.”

The 10-day rations will be distributed in all camps at the same time to avoid any disturbances, as well as to ease the pressure on food supplies in Goma since the violence temporarily cut off many delivery routes.

The agency is moving food stocks to Goma from its office in Bukavu in South Kivu, and bringing in supplies from Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.

Assisting WFP with the relief effort is the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which will handle distributions to the estimated 65,000 IDPs who are now gathered at Kibati camp, 15 kilometres north of Goma.

The agency reported that a UN assessment mission to the Rutshuru area – the scene of much of the recent fighting – was forced to cut short its work on Tuesday when it found itself in close proximity to new clashes around Kiwanja, north of Rutshuru town.

The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has confirmed that three IDP camps in the area were destroyed and emptied, and is trying along with WFP and other agencies to determine what happened to the inhabitants.

“This is a dangerous and unstable environment and it’s going to be challenging to deliver food to where it is needed most. We need proper security in place to ensure everyone involved is safe and that we reach the most vulnerable,” Mr. Darboe said.
