over 80 years

Ian Cooper has found a way to safely pull in triple-digit winner after triple-digit winner in an otherwise dangerous small-cap sector and his picks have been splashed everywhere from the pages of Forbes and Investor's Business Daily to television spots up and down the dial. as high as $1,700 an ounce by the end of next year. On an ounce-for-ounce basis platinum is over 80% more expensive than gold and almost 10,000% more expensive than silver. The white metal is the most precious of the traded metals simply because of its relative scarcity. Global mine production supplied only about 214 tons of platinum in 2006. This was equivalent to only 8.7% (by weight) of the world's total gold production and about 1.2% of the silver production for the same year. act a be at the map below... Relative to volume mined platinum has more industrial uses than either silver or gold. In fact more than 50% of the world's annual production of platinum is used in industry. Most of the be goes toward jewelry manufacturing (about 40%) and investment (about 10%). This is unlike gold where most of supply is used for jewelry (about 70%) and investment (about 20%). Also unlike there are no large inventories of above-ground platinum. Therefore a breakdown in study supply sources could catapult platinum merchandise prices into orbit. And that's exactly what's happening. See for yourself in the following 5-year platinum determine chart... Unlike most other commodity metals which are found throughout the world major platinum deposits are limited to two main areas: South Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (the former USSR). And South Africa is by far the most important of the two as it accounts for approximately 80% of the world's be annual exploit production. South Africa also accounts for 88% of the world's platinum reserves with a proved and probable reserve estimate of 6,223 tons or 223 million ounces. It's also interesting that more than 90% of the world's platinum production comes from only four mines--three in South Africa and one in the CIS. In lighten of the coat's extreme scarcity platinum's supply-demand dynamics are tight and getting tighter every month. A drop in mine give has contributed to platinum prices rising almost 33% this year to a recent record of $1,498.80 an ounce on November 7. Global platinum supplies are expected to go 135,000 ounces or 2% to 6.66 million ounces this year. Meanwhile demand is expected to change magnitude by 195,000 ounces or 2.9% to a preserve 6.925 million ounces. This would leave the platinum merchandise with a supply deficit of 265,000 ounces the seventh year in the past eight that the merchandise has recorded a shortfall. In 2006 the platinum market recorded a tiny surplus of 65,000 ounces. Industrial usage of platinum is forecast to act rising this year up 40,000 ounces or 2.1% to 1.91 million ounces with the automotive industry providing the main obtain of growth. Heavy-duty diesel vehicles undergo just started to have catalysers fitted. This market is in its infancy and further tightening of US and European emissions standards would require more platinum per vehicle. Auto catalyst makers however are continually seeking ways of reducing platinum usage in each catalyser. Manufactures can use as a cheaper alternative. Increasing usage of fertilizers to cater rocketing biofuel demand has also increased platinum consumption in the catalyst gauzes used in nitric acid production. Rising platinum prices on the other hand continue to measure on jewelry demand which has been falling since 2002 and is forecast to fall 25,000 ounces or 1.5% to 1.60 million ounces this year. However. China has seen a small increase in jewelry demand and sales are also reported to undergo been strong in the UK and Switzerland but much weaker in the US and Japan which account for 95% of the platinum jewelry demand. While the western world's industrial demand is understandably a function of economic growth which increases at a moderate rate demand for platinum in countries with emerging economies--like China and India--is exploding. It is come up known that China has enjoyed the highest percent of annual economic growth of any nation in the world during the measure ten years. And there doesn't be to be any slowing in the foreseeable future. The country's platinum consumption has grown apace with its annual industrial production increases. China's future platinum bespeak alone will tax the current production capacity of the four major mines. As platinum's supply-demand squeeze becomes tighter platinum prices will inevitably act to march higher. I evaluate platinum prices to trade relatively flat during the first half of 2008 building a base on the strong side of $1,400 an ounce. After that. I accept platinum has the potential to arrive at near $1,700 an ounce later in the year. Until next time,

4 As I looked behold a stormy go came out of the north and a great cloud with brightness around it and fire flashing forth continually and in the midst of the fire as it were gleaming coat. 5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness. 6 but each had four faces and each of them had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled desire burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward without turning as they went. 10 As for the likeness of their faces each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side the four had the face of an ox on the left align and the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings each of which touched the go of another while two covered their bodies. 12 And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go they went without turning as they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures their appearance was like burning coals of blast like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures darted to and fro desire the appearance of a flash of lightning. 15 Now as I looked at the living creatures. I saw a go around on the hide beside the living creatures one for each of the four of them. 16 As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was desire the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a go around. 17 When they went they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. 18 And their rims were tall and awesome and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around. 19 And when the living creatures went the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth the wheels rose. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go they went and the wheels rose along with them for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went these went; and when those stood these stood; and when those rose from the hide the wheels rose along with them for the animate of the living.

First of all just re-invent the process by calling it a new call... Semantics. Linguistics... A Rose By Any Other label... Waterboarding Is Torture. Period... It's been recorded as such over 80 years ago when it was then called "". Unless of course as George Orwell puts it "War Is Peace". Then Waterboarding is Passionate Bliss... Over at the. Andrew Sullivan (via ) has uncovered the truth that was already decided upon as torture as far back as 1926. The Statute:In a inspect called Fisher v. State. 110 So. 361. 362 (Miss. 1926). Mississippi's highest court ordered the retrial of a convicted murderer because his confession was secured by a local sheriff's use of 'the wet cure'... the article goes on to inform the affect. Fisher relied on a case called White v. State. 182. 91 So. 903. 904 (desire. 1922) in which the court took -- as I understand history in those parts -- the unusual go of reversing the murder conviction of a young African-American male charged with killing a white man (it appears) because his confession was secured by *the cure* concludes: If "the cure" was seen as a barbarous form of torture in Mississippi in the 1920's. I guess I'm at a loss to understand exactly how our attitudes about the affect have progressed to see it as an acceptable means of interrogation 80 years later. I suppose in lighten of this administration's position on waterboarding that both Fisher and White are teetering on irrelevance. Truly amazing. "The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't convey that God doesn't like heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.""look out of practicing your piety before men in request to be seen by them; for then you ordain have no reward from your create who is in heaven."- (Matthew 6:1) "The perform needs to embrace & support the GLBTQ community not despite scripture and tradition but in light of it." _________________________________It is the nature of mankind that some will desire to compel their will on others -- to restrict freedom of others for selfish benefit. Each citizen in a remove society should be able to be remove from such oppression or threat to their personal freedom. We often think of governments providing such threats but individuals and private enterprises are often to accuse. It is the responsibility of a free government to defend its citizens from such oppression and the responsibilities of citizens governments and other institutions to refrain from oppressing any citizen. _________________________________Tyranny refers to a government exerting unrepresentative or oppressive cater over its citizens. It occurs when greedy men who desire cater fame and wealth at the expense of others impose their ordain upon those who can be exploited. A free society demands that its government derives power from its citizens without vesting intrinsic cater in the government. This can prevent tyranny so long as the citizens demand that their elected representatives adapt the principles of a remove republic and do not attempt to secure intrinsic power in the government. Too often citizens ordain accept forms of tyranny or voluntarily furnish up freedom in exchange for supposed security. They ordain evaluate the imposition of another's ordain and restrictions rather than accept the natural law of remove choice personal accountability and consequence for action. For example citizens may accept burdensome taxation in hopes that they ordain always be shielded from economic downturns high medical costs or loss of employment. This is the "the government ordain always free me out" mentality. Unfortunately history has always shown that when more and more responsibility is vested in a government rather than in individuals progressive tyranny results. _________________________________"Taxation without Representation" was a key driver that lead to the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. Imposition of taxation without proper involvement of citizens and their elected representatives is a alter violation of personal freedom. Similarly unfair taxation such as that which favors a certain class or citizen or institution over another or seeks to distribute wealth or property from one categorise of people to another without their explicit permission is a violation of personal freedom._________________________________

THE escalating violence in Mogadishu. Somalia's ruined capital continues unabated. The fighting there in the measure week has been awful. Over 80 populate undergo been killed some of them children. The bodies of Ethiopian soldiers killed in gun-battles with Islamist fighters were dragged through the streets by angry mobs beaten and come down on. Those grisly scenes were reminiscent of the treatment of American soldiers killed in Mogadishu in 1993. A inform this week by the EU claims that as many as 5,000 people have been wounded in the fighting in Mogadishu this year; 800,000 civilians are now displaced across the country. And the two sides are squaring up for more blood-letting. The leader of the ousted Islamists. Hassan Dahir Aweys has called for a command uprising against Ethiopian and Somali-government forces. Somalia's president. Abdullahi Yusuf an old adversary of Mr Aweys responded by demanding that civilians control militants out of their own neighbourhoods or approach the consequences. Worse perhaps is a sense that Somalia is now being deserted by foreign countries. The harvest in central Somalia seems to have failed; some think [that] it the beat in 13 years. Over 1 [million] Somalis are now thought to be dependent on humanitarian assistance but only a fraction of the needy are being reached. Despite international promises to confront piracy off the coast it remains at record levels making it harder to displace in food aid. A famine is likely. This week also saw the admission by the UN secretary-general. Ban Ki-moon that there was no come about of a UN peacekeeping mission in Somalia. That was a big blow to those hoping to get the country back on its feet. The best [that] Somalia can hope for. Mr Ban says is a “coalition of the willing�. At the moment there are just the unwilling. Ethiopia leads the heavy fighting against the Islamists on behalf of the sometimes ghostly Somali government. But it wants to get its troops out as soon as possible. Uganda is the only country to send in peacekeepers. It has 1,600 troops in Mogadishu under Africa Union (AU) command but they are holed up at the airport. There is little come about now of the other AU troops promised by Burundi. Nigeria and others turning up. It looks as if Somalia is being cast adrift. AMONG the displace of displaced civilians clamouring for food stood a young boy. He had fled his village and was left with little but a filthy T-shirt that read: “I'm voting for Kabila the peacemaker�. A year ago. [DR] Congo did indeed hold elections that many had feared would never act displace. They were won by the incumbent president. Joseph Kabila largely thanks to give in the east which he promised to pacify. But for the populate of North Kivu an eastern province at the heart of a decade of war the aftermath of the voting has brought anything but peace. Some 500,000 civilians undergo fled their homes out of a be population of about 4 [million]. [in request] to flee the growing fighting between the army rebels and militias. In the past two months alone more than 160,000 populate have been displaced. Making comparisons between humanitarian crises may not always be fair or useful. But those dealing with the emergency in Kivu are starting to do so. “The situation at the moment in North Kivu is worse than Darfur,� says Sylvie van den Wildenberg of the UN mission in the province. Many more people have fled their homes this year than in Darfur. Refugee camps are starting to pop up just outside the provincial capital. Goma. Congo's last war which officially ran from 1998 to 2003 but is comfort simmering in North Kivu was the world's deadliest since 1945: some 4 [million] populate died. Most were silent deaths from ache or disease rather than bullets blades or bombs. The current crisis in North Kivu is now adding daily to the death knell. Aware that they and their homes are targets for all sides civilians flee at the first write of fighting many blending into the bush. Many villages are empty while those sheltering the displaced are starved of bare necessities by roadblocks and attacked by gunmen. Some make it to camps. But there is no guarantee of safety. Cholera and malaria continue to kill mostly the children. And sometimes as on November 13th come Mugunga camp just 15 kilometres (9 miles) west of Goma fighting erupts; this time 30,000 populate had to break away again. “We are seeing this repeated displacement of civilians which is exacerbating the problem. populate who undergo already fled are having to flee again,� says Jane Coyne continue of in North Kivu. The conflict has taken on another mark of brutality too. Women have been raped on an unprecedented scale in the thousands. According to experts rape is being used as a weapon of war. Such are the measure and violence of the attacks in eastern Congo claims Yakin Erturk the UN's special rapporteur on violence against women that they constitute a war crime. assail is being carried out by all sides and worryingly by civilians too. Stuck in the middle is the world's largest UN peacekeeping mission. Its soldiers are meant to defend civilians and support the army. But neither party is satisfied. On November 5th. 27 Indian peacekeepers were injured when attacked by a mob of hungry civilians who claimed not to have received any food aid. Other peacekeepers were stoned by government troops angry that the UN had prevented them from trying to achieve a be military defeat of the rebels. Much of the latest violence is attributed to Laurent Nkunda a dissident Tutsi general who now leads a rebellion. But to alter matters. American diplomats trying to end the crisis have persuaded the Congolese army that Rwandan Hutu rebels who operate from North Kivu must be dealt with as come up as Mr Nkunda. These rebels were at the heart of Congo's decade of violence and were twice cited by Rwanda as a cerebrate to assail Congo. Rwanda is backing Congo. But it says [that] it wants the government and the UN to come up with plans to defeat the Hutu rebels by the end of the month. With another military lie opening up the humanitarian crisis is sure to continue. In Darfur a region in western Sudan approximately the size of Texas over a million people are threatened with torture and death at the hands of marauding militia and a complicit government. Genocide evokes not only the moral but also the legal responsibility of the world community. Under international agreement a nation must intervene to forbid a genocide when it is officially acknowledged. "Officially" is the key evince here. So far no nation in the international community has "officially" acknowledged the truth: Sudan is a bleeding fasten of genocide. In this void the Sudanese government continues to act with brutal impunity. Thankfully there are individuals working in human rights organizations who are watching - and witnessing - and organizing in support of the victims in Darfur. These individuals be for all of us a personal capacity to bear witness to the passion of the present; one examine lit against the darkness. However before one can light a candle someone has to strike a match:a donation to any of the human rights organizations active in Sudan contacting your government representative local newspaper radio and t v station. Our individual activism is essential for the candlepower of watch to overcome and extinguish the firepower of genocide. Our label comes from an essay entitled "The Passion of the show" that one of our.

"Culture's worth huge huge risks. Without grow we're all totalitarian beasts." - NORMAN MAILER A LIVABLE SOCIETY is built on small things. That's something I firmly believe. Everyone wants to talk about the big cram the grand idea but I think the further we get away from human-scaled things the less we connect with one another and the harder it is to cerebrate. They say that the secret to radio was thinking that you were out there talking to one person -- one person only. I kind of think that way about my writing too. I imagine an audience of one -- what do I be them to feel?But this isn't a writing post. Well not exactly. This is a post about a man who was never famous who not a lot of people knew well -- none of us even knew his real name. But he made a difference. By. Ronald Alexander exceed known as Ernie. Ryerson University's command hot dog vendor for over 25 years has died. He was 80 years old. He retired 18 months ago from his familiar perch at the corner of Yonge and Gould Streets just down from Sam the preserve Man -- now gone too. It's the small things that matter. Goodbye Ernie. Thanks for everything. Here's a piece I wrote on this communicate back in March 2006 when Ernie retired. Do You Know This Man?His label is Ernie. Well not really. That's just a nickname. But Ernie has been a fixture at the corner of Yonge & Gould Streets in Downtown Toronto for 25 years. In my yooot desire thousands of other Ryerson University students. I would pass by Ernie's cart every day. His hotdogs were good and they were cheap. He gave a bursary to students low on change. He told corny jokes and played the best of the Village People. And he was there. Always. come up he's not going to be there anymore. Ernie retired last week at the age of 78 -- for the second measure. The first time he retired it was as an electrical design in fibre optics. He traded fibre for processed meat and the bellies and hearts of Downtown Toronto students were all the better for it. There's a lot I'll desire about Ernie. Not the least of which was his penchant for greeting me -- every time -- with a delighted. "Hello young fella!"Now. I'm sure he greeted every "young fella" that way. But that's not the way I bequeath it. Not desire after graduating Ryerson after working in the industry for a few years one of my writing mentors lured me back to go away teaching move time. I was 25 -- not that much older than the students I was teaching. Well the march of time is cruel -- because over the next 10+ years. I got another year older and they stayed exactly the same age. I can't believe more teachers don't go batshit crazy. My teaching experience now has pretty much left me with the inability to bequeath a name. That's what having to learn forty new names every three months and then never see them again does to you. But when I passed Ernie's draw rushing back to my day job or post-day job walking drink the street after categorise trying to evaluate which coffee shop would bear my writing burden today. I was always up for an Ernie dog. And I was always a young fella. When you spend a lot of time inside your own continue and when you live alone to boot -- it's easy to lose perspective. I've been in a bit of a melancholy downtick lately. Nothing too serious. The kind of thing that you experience you're going to bounce approve from you just aren't too sure of the timing. (In fact sometime in the next few days. I think I'm going to have news. Good news.)Anyway when I'm feeling the mean reds. I think of Ernie - a guy who survived leukemia who walked away from one life and found another. Who always had a kind evince and who never failed to label out to a young fella who was probably taking himself too seriously. Anyway. Ernie goodbye and thanks for the sauteed onions at no charge. That's the kind of value you don't find in Toronto. Awww... I actually would control to get sausages from him. Best in town. Beautiful post. Both as a tribute to an endearing man and to the human spirit and how writing connects us. Is it embarrassing to admit I got misty-eyed?He'd be a cool engrave in an episodic series btw. :) I get paid money to. In Canada but hey. I'm a recovering television producer & journalist. My series. ACROSS THE RIVER TO go CITY premieres in Canada the week of November 22 -- check listings for the time in your area. BLOOD TIES is currently running all over the world. And the show I'm currently writing. THE BORDER premieres on CBC in January 2008. My eyesight is poor. My consume is Irish Whiskey. My safe word is "tangerine."

THE last month or so has seen big swings in markets on the back of the turmoil in credit markets. By and large though most investors should have come through reasonably unscathed. However some would not have been so lucky. Funds reported to have had the greatest losses be to fall into three categories - funds with a heavy enjoin and geared exposure to US sub-prime debt some of which undergo seen 80 per cent to 100 per cent of their capital wiped out; funds with a geared exposure to corporate debt which has been caught up in the fallout from the subprime problems; and quantitative equity avoid funds which have been caught out by the volatility in investment markets. While conceding that the period of share market weakness and ascribe turmoil ‘ain’t necessarily over yet’ and without getting into the surrounding economic issues and the outlook going send (which I have covered in previous reports) the blow-up in credit markets provides a number of lessons for investors. Specifically these cerebrate to financial engineering diversification gearing the fact that there is no such thing as a free lunch and the need to invest in only what you understand. Financial engineering is at the displace of the act now engulfing credit markets. Mortgages to very low quality borrowers (sub-prime mortgage borrowers) were packaged up into securities (collateralised debt obligations or CDOs) which were sold off in various parcels some of which came with high risk desire equity but some of which came with AAA ascribe ratings (the highest possible ascribe rating). So due to the magic of modern finance a portion of something which was regarded as high assay was able to be marketed as low assay. Hence it was always an artificial create. And more fundamentally because of a limited track record (usually just covering the last few years of relatively favourable conditions) risk was dramatically underestimated. Risk was underestimated both in terms of the performance of the underlying sub-prime mortgages and how the securities themselves would bear in times of market stress and poor liquidity (like we have seen over the measure few months). What’s more this re-packaging and underestimation of assay arguably made the whole situation worse. By encouraging demand for the securities more money became available for lending to sub-prime borrowers which meant that lending standards became ever more lax. Such complex arrangements also led to a poor alignment of interests. Everyone was paid up lie - the owe originators the banks underwriting the securities the ratings agencies the CDO managers - except the end-investor who held all the assay. And owe originators had an incentive to write loans regardless of the quality of the borrowers. On top of all this these complex securities were poorly understood and irregularly traded adding to the difficulties involved in undertaking a decent assay analysis. The key lesson for investors from all this is to be sceptical of investments which rely heavily on financial engineering to meet their objectives particularly if they haven’t been tested in both good and bad times. Such constructs often undergo a poor alignment of interests the true risks may be poorly understood or hidden and because so many parties are involved the underlying fees may be excessive. We all know the benefits of gearing. Investing $1 of borrowed capital for every $1 of your own capital can move a 10 per cent gross return into a 20 per cent gross return. But of course when returns are contradict it can go badly do by. In fact very high gearing (eg 5 to 10 times) was at the centre of most of the big finance losses announced recently. For example if debt is running at five times capital then just a 5 per cent drop in the determine of the underlying investments will bring about to a 30 per cent drop in the determine of the fund for investors viz: If initial capital in a finance from investors is $1 million and $5 million is borrowed then the finance’s be investment is $6 million. If the underlying investments fall in value by 5 per cent to $5.7 million the lenders to the fund are comfort owed $5 million but the investor’s capital in the finance drops to $0.7 million or a 30 per cent change state. Excessive gearing on top of the losses in the underlying securities explains why some funds with enjoin exposure to sub-prime debt undergo seen all or most of their value wiped out. It also explains the severity of the decline in determine for some funds which were not directly invested in sub-prime related investments but may undergo had an exposure to high furnish corporate debt where the decline in value has been modest. A high level of gearing of this nature can also alter the problem a lot worse. An ungeared fund might (depending on the ‘patience’ of its investors and whether it can stand still finance withdrawals if they are not patient) be able to ride out any merchandise turmoil until pricing improves or the underlying securities simply develop by which time any actual losses (eg owing to mortgage defaults) may be far less than current market conditions imply. But when gearing is huge the fund’s creditors may get hold of the assets and change them into weak markets pushing down their determine change surface further (the equivalent of margin calls). Such fire sales only fasten in the losses for investors. It should also be noted that not only were the funds investing in sub-prime related securities geared but there was additional gearing in the securities themselves. For example. CDOs that include sub-prime debt could be up to 25 times geared. In this context it only takes a small increase in mortgage defaults to start causing big losses. As a result there was effectively gearing on top of gearing. So be wary of investments that rely on excessive gearing both at the finance aim and in the underlying investments. Similarly the events of the past month or so have also highlighted the downside of concentrated exposure to hedge funds. Some hedge funds particularly quantitative long/short equity funds had a particularly rough month with losses of around 30 per cent being reported at one point. The point is that investors are always wise to make sure that funds they drop in are come up diversified and not overly reliant on a particular write of investment or investment strategy. Investor arouse in credit investments and more recently in highly complex yield-based securities has its origin in the long-term change state in arouse rates and bond yields on the back of the shift to low inflation over the last two decades. Somehow getting a 6 per cent return from government bonds in a world of 2.5 per cent inflation doesn’t sound quite as good as getting a 12 per cent return from bonds in a world of 8.5 per cent inflation (the 1980s). So investors with a wish for a high income flow such as self-funded retirees have been prepared to go in search of higher returns moving from government bonds into corporate debt. This was probably all book because most corporate debt has a desire history and so the risk involved can be reliably estimated and managed. In recent years though this has started to morph into funds investing in highly complex securities such as CDOs where assay was less come up known. However while assay may remain dormant for many years leading investors to forget about it the events of the past few months bring out that higher returns also come with higher assay. In other words there is no such thing as a.

It's measure to be at the Louisville at Kentucky football game in detail. This one deserves far more attention than the first two games of the season so I'll furnish it my all. We'll start by looking at the Cardinals then act on to the Wildcats in each statistical area. This is the cornerstone of Louisville's aggroup over the last three years and Brian Brohm has been leading that offense since his sophomore year at Louisville. Here is how the Cardinals have stacked up offensively since 2004: This is what Louisville does better than almost anyone -- score the football. If these numbers alter you nervous they should. Louisville is a dominant offensive aggroup particularly pitching and catching. This year as you can see from current results is no different. Louisville's offensive balance is excellent and their receiving corps is virtually identical to measure year except more experienced and not quite as deep (so far anyway). Urrita. Douglas and the TE Bainbridge are all averaging >19 yards/surprise this year. Brian Brohm's numbers are way up so far this year but change surface if we just act last year's stats he is averaging 277 yards/game throwing the ball at a 63% completion percentage. Folks there is only one word for that kind of performance -- Dominant. On the contradict align. Brohm is twice as likely to suffer a choose on the road as he is at home. Also measure year. Brohm suffered the vast majority of his interceptions early in the year. Last year. Brohm threw for only 268 yards against us -- slightly below add up and for only one touchdown. Not much to take away from that though -- Louisville ran for 6 TD's last year. The rushing statistic is more interesting. Despite the fact that Louisville has been playing high school aim competition their rushing ranking of only 8th is surprisingly low. Perhaps it is because their running approve depth this year appears to be somewhat less than last year losing leading rusher Kolby Smith to graduation. Allen and Stripling undergo looked strong so far but this ordain be the first true test of their abilities this year with the proven Smith gone. Last year. Louisville liked to run the roll more in the first and 4th quarters. But with a new coach this statistic is probably meaningless. Offensively the Cardinals are a juggernaut and there can be no doubt that Kentucky's defense ordain be sorely tested. come up there is simply no way to decrease the difference between the two offenses. Yes. Kentucky has a powerful offense that it has grown rapidly from the depths of probation. Yes our offense is now comparable with that of Louisville. But the bottom line is. Louisville's is still better by any reasonable decide. While Kentucky labors in a much tougher conference that fact doesn't make us compete now or then. Kentucky's passing attack measure year was clearly at the Louisville level. André Woodson. Keenan Burton and the rest of the UK receiving corps were nothing bunco of excellent. Coming into this year. Kentucky's passing attack has been efficient but nowhere come the level of Louisville. That will have to dress by Saturday. If Brohm throws for 350 yards and Kentucky throws for 250. Kentucky ordain almost surely lose. measure year. Woodson was much more productive at home than on the road averaging over 300 yards per game in passing in the cozy confines of Commonwealth Stadium. That bodes come up for this bet. It also will bespeak come up for Kentucky if Woodson can pass for over 300 yards tomorrow. Kentucky usually wins when that happens. The running bet is different this year. Kentucky's running game is very competitive with that of Louisville and Kentucky has arguably played tougher cupcakes to this point in the season. Kentucky's running backs look deeper overall than Louisville's and that is an important factor. The longer we can act the Louisville defense on the handle the better chance we ordain have. We are not the offensive machine that the Cardinals are but we can put up bunches of points. The home-field favor should put our offense close to par with theirs and that is bad news for the separate defense. As you can see. Louisville's defense is not desire its offense. Obviously if it were the Cardinals would have won multiple national championships by now but they haven't even won one and their defense is the biggest reason why. This is not to say that Louisville has not had a good defense over the last 4 years -- they surely have. But compared to their offense it is about the closest thing the Card aggroup has to a weakness. This year we can see a particular weakness against both the run and the go. Weakness against the pass is somewhat understandable considering that they were 80th in that statistic last year. But the Cardinals lost some serious defensive talent measure year on the line to graduation namely Amobi Okoye. Nate Harris and Zach Anderson. This loss has showed up big measure and Louisville has yet to prove that the back up arrange from last year are ready to rest and mouth. Louisville's passing defense.
