This special Holiday Memories Concert will feature holiday favorites like "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" as well as some new surprise pieces (including a piano duet!) that are sure to delight the audience. With a variety of pieces ranging in style from traditional to jazz to country, there is something for everyone. Brent will even be putting her classical music education on display with a challenging rendition of "Gesu Bambino" and will be reliving her recent country Christmas musical performance of "My Little One," as performed in the Fort Morgan Nazarene's "For Unto Ya'll" Christmas musical.
Brent graduated from Chadron State College in 2011 with a degree in Music Business and Communication Arts and has performed with Chadron State's Concert Choir, Women's Ensemble, and Wind Symphony, in addition to the Platte Valley Band, the Believer's Southern Gospel Choir, Harmony Hats, and many other local music groups.
Watson is an accomplished pianist, with a long history as the pianist at the Fort Morgan Nazarene Church, and enjoys touring with many music groups as well as accompanying for vocal and instrumental soloists.
This mother-daughter duo has been performing together since Brent was big enough to stand on the table at the Fort Morgan Senior Center and sing "On the Good Ship Lollipop," and they are excited to perform together again on their home turf.
Molly Watson, Brent's cousin who has recently been selected to sing the National Anthem for the All Service Academy Ball at the end of December, will be joining the mother-daughter duo for the Akron performance at the Cornerstone Coffehouse.
This one-of-a-kind concert is free of charge and open to the public. For more information, contact Kassi Brent at (970) 768-2834.

BlackBerry Brunt Of April Fools' Tablets Hoax
Remember the PlayBook, BlackBerry's ill-fated bid to establish itself in the tablet market? That didn't work out so good, but this week it looked like the beleaguered mobile device vendor was getting ready to give tablets another go.
A purportedly leaked BlackBerry road map slide surfaced on the @BB10Leaks account on Twitter, showing a full-size BlackBerry 10-based tablet scheduled for a third-quarter release. It also showed smaller tablet models or "phablets."
Not long after, @BB10Leaks tweeted "Happy April Fools," capping one of the most effective tech industry hoaxes in recent memory.

You will come across many questions as you shop around for mattresses and compare products and prices. It's always important to know what you're getting so that you can make apples to apples comparisons as you explore your mattress options.
On occasion, you'll come across terms such as natural latex mattresses or organic latex mattresses. On the surface, they seem to say the same things. But, there is a significant difference between natural latex and organic latex.

In seven years, the amount of money presented in grants has grown by a million dollars.
Palo Alto County Gaming Development Corporation (PACGDC) presented City Awards, School Awards, mini grants, grants and city per capita grants last Saturday, March 2. PACGDC is the non-profit corporation holding the license for Wild Rose Casino & Resort. Highlight of the night was a special award.
"We started with $900,000 the first year," said Skip Wallace, president of the PACGDC Board. "Look at this number: $1,932,747.13. We want to continue going up every year from now on."
Toward the end of the award announcements, Wallace and Amy Rubel, Wild Rose Casino & Resort General Manager, made a special presentation.
"We started, a few years ago, putting money into a reserve account," said Wallace. "That money is for projects like assisting Palo Alto County Economic Development. We provided incentive funds for the old Skyjack building. We set this aside for special projects. When we find something that's worthy, we can go ahead with it. And we have a special award tonight."
"On behalf of Gary Kirke and Dr. Mike Richards, they send congratulations to all the grant recipients," said Amy Rubel. "It's a wonderful night. We're hoping to hit that $2 million mark next year."
She announced that Wild Rose has partnered with PACGDC to purchase a Sunshine Van through Variety Club of Iowa. The van will have the Wild Rose logo and the PACGDC logo.
"The Sunshine Van will be going to Horizons Unlimited," she announced.
Amid the cheers from the Horizons group, Wallace added, "This is one of the things we can do with the reserve funds."
Variety Club of Iowa has granted Sunshine Coaches (specialized vans) to provide transportation for agencies that work with children's hospitals, youth at risk, disabled kids and needy infants and children. Wallace and Rubel will be in Des Moines next Sunday, March 10, for the Variety Club Telethon.
School Awards
Awards to cities and schools kicked off the evening of grant presentations. This year, PACGDC presented awards of $350,000 to cities and $200,000 to schools.
"We wanted to make sure every school district got something and they could choose how they spent the money," said board member Lloyd Petersen. "We worked with several different formulas and came up with something that we hope will work out for everybody." The school awards are based on a per-pupil formula.

We also used revolving loan fund for the Picray Welding expansion, and we still have funds. Palo Alto County Economic Development is currently working with two different companies that will put a transmission line across Palo Alto County. There are a lot of exciting things going on in Palo Alto County."
Grant Awards

QPR V Tottenham Hotspur;
Premier League; Loftus Road; Saturday 21 April 2012, 17:30 KO
Team News
Hosts QPR welcome back Djibril Cisse following his four-match suspension. The temperamental striker was sent off for the second time since joining the club in January against Sunderland.
Shaun Wright-Phillips will be pushing for a start after being restricted to a string of appearances from the bench. Alejandro Faurlin and Kieron Dyer remain on the sidelines due to injury.
Tottenham's absentees include Tom Huddlestone, Michael Dawson and Niko Kranjcar - who will miss the rest of the season after a knee injury in training.
Harry Redknapp has to make the decision whether to shake up his side after crashing out of the FA Cup against Chelsea.
Brad Friedel is likely to return after Carlo Cudicini was a surprise starter in the FA Cup semi-final. Jermain Defoe and Sandro could be recalled as Redknapp looks to change his team's fortunes as the battle for a top-four finish heats up.
Redknapp: We can finish fourth
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp was impressed with how his players have reacted in training following Sunday's crushing defeat in the FA Cup semi-final.
Spurs are hoping to end a current run of poor form after recording only two wins in the last 10 league matches.
Mark Hughes' side find themselves flirting with relegation, sitting just one place above the drop-zone - two points ahead of 18th place Bolton who have played two games less.
Redknapp admitted that the players felt dejected after losing 5-1 against Chelsea at Wembley, but insisted his side were raring to go as they prepared to take on QPR at Loftus Road.
"We all get very low but we came in on Monday morning and start again, you have to," Redknapp said before training on Friday. "By the end of the week it's history and you look forward to the next game.
"To be honest the players have looked sharp this week. Yesterday they worked fantastic. They zipped the ball about and it was a pleasure to be out there.
"We did lots of stuff on team shape but the quality of the play was top class and they look bright so hopefully we can carry that in to the weekend. We're ready to go again."
Spurs sit in fourth and are level on points with Newcastle, and two points ahead of Chelsea, however, Redknapp believes the north London club can see off the opposition and finish in a Champions League qualification position.
"I still think we will finish fourth," he added. "We hopefully might finish third. There are five games to go and we have to think about winning all our games if we can.
"Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea are in the same position. It's all to play for."

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney talks about today's bleak jobs report, repealing Obamacare and his role in private equity.
SAN DIEGO -- Mitt Romney declared May's disappointing jobs report a "harsh indictment" of President Obama's stewardship of the economy, accusing the president of being overly focused on "legislative achievements" instead of putting Americans back to work.
"The president's policies and his handling of the economy has been dealt a harsh indictment," Romney said in an interview on CNBC. "In many respects their policies have made it harder for the economy to recover."
Romney scheduled the appearance in reaction to a new government report on Friday that showed the economy added 69,000 jobs in May -- well below expectations -- and that the unemployment rate had ticked upward to 8.2 percent.
The dismal numbers gave Romney ammunition to prosecute his case against Obama as a manager of America's economy.
"Jobs are job No. 1 for the presidency," Romney said.
Romney's argument on CNBC was largely similar to the one he makes on the campaign trail: that the recovery has been dampened by Obama's policies. Romney said the president's focus on "legislative achievements," like green energy policies, taxes, and health care reform, which Romney asserted would slow the recovery.
"He decided instead of getting people back to work he'd fight for something he thought was historic, and frankly the American people don't want it and we can't afford it," Romney said.
Economists have attributed some of the struggles in the U.S. to the ongoing monetary crisis in Europe, but Romney said that was no excuse for Obama.
"Of course the developments around the world always influence our jobs, but we should be well into a very robust recovery right now," Romney said, noting several times during the interview that the unemployment rate has remained above eight percent for 40 straight months -- longer than the Euro crisis."
The former Massachusetts governor said the most significant prescription to instill confidence in businesses in the near term would be to "elect a new president," and that his energy, tax and spending policies would stimulate more robust growth in the private sector.
Romney also voiced opposition to a third wave of so-called "quantitative easing," a stimulative effort by the Federal Reserve that, critics fear, could lead to inflation.
Beyond the economy, Romney also addressed some of the larger political issues to plague his campaign this week.
Three days after appearing at a fundraiser with controversial supporter Donald Trump, who has continued to question whether President Obama was born in the United States, Romney was asked again why he does not simply tell one of his most prominent surrogates to drop the issue.
"I disagree with it," Romney said. "there's no question that the President was born in the United States of America,"
Romney added that he doesn't tell his supporters what to think, but that Trump "knows what I believe about this."
The presumptive GOP nominee also pushed back on the Obama campaign's criticism of his private sector record.
"I'm happy to embrace my record in private equity," he said, pointing also to an interview given last night by former President Bill Clinton, who said Romney's business career was "sterling."

Red Light Cameras Raise Crash Risk, Cost 499
concealment writes with news of dissatisfaction with a pilot program for stoplight-monitoring cameras. The program ran for several years in New Jersey, and according to a new report, the number of car crashes actually increased while the cameras were present. "[The program] appears to be changing drivers' behavior, state officials said Monday, noting an overall decline in traffic citations and right-angle crashes. The Department of Transportation also said, however, that rear-end crashes have risen by 20 percent and total crashes are up by 0.9 percent at intersections where cameras have operated for at least a year. The agency recommended the program stay in place, calling for 'continued data collection and monitoring' of camera-monitored intersections. The department's report drew immediate criticism from Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon, R-Monmouth, who wants the cameras removed. He called the program 'a dismal failure,' saying DOT statistics show the net costs of accidents had climbed by more than $1 million at intersections with cameras." Other cities are considering dumping the monitoring tech as well, citing similar cost and efficacy issues.

Must-Answer Questions From Dell Partners
After a bitter $24.9 billion battle to go private, a reorg putting a raft of new faces in Dell's executive lineup and recent server share losses to rival Hewlett-Packard, Dell World is shaping up to be a seminal event for the Dell partners hungry to learn what's next for a new Dell in 2014.
Dell World, which kicks off Wednesday in Austin, Texas, is expected to bring together 6,000 participants ranging from hundreds of executives, dozens of partner companies and 500 channel partners, according to Dell. The official agenda, which encompasses cloud computing, big data, security, BYOD and social networking, will likely have to take a back seat to more pressing partner questions.
"It's perfect timing for Dell World. They went private in October, they had a reorg in November, and now they get to answer all their partners' questions at Dell World," said Bob Venero, CEO of Future Tech, a Holbrook, N.Y.-based Dell partner.

(9-4, 0-0 Ivy)
Quick Facts
2013-14 Stats
Date: Jan. 11, 2014 | Time: 2 PM | Venue: Leede Arena (2,100) | Location: Hanover, N.H.
Live Stats: Dartmouthsports.com | Live Video: Ivy League Digital Network ($$$) | Live Audio: Ivy League Digital Network (FREE) | Koclanes Weekly Radio Interview : WTSL-WTSV
Entering today's Ivy League opener, Dartmouth and Harvard have sailed different paths through the non-conference slate. At 9-4, the smooth waters etched out by wins over Boston University, Florida International, Hofstra and Tulsa put the Crimson a step ahead of the competition. For the Big Green and first-year head coach Belle Koclanes, high seas have diverted her crew to a 2-11 record. Marked by early season injuries and illnesses, the Green and White are determined to erase the memories of 2013 and push onward in hopes of winning their 18th Ivy League crown.
• The Big Green struggled offensively against Hartford, shooting 28 percent from the field. Sophomore Lakin Roland finished with her third double-double of the season, scoring 10 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
• The Hartford defense did a nice job stopping freshman Fanni Szabo, but the sharpshooter penetrated the lane late in the contest and scored nine points on 4-of-16 from the field.
• Roland and Szabo were named to this week's Ivy League Honor Roll. Roland finished the week with double-double figures, averaging 10.5 points and 10.0 rebounds. Szabo led the offensive charge with 21.5 points and 4.0 steals. Szabo's 34-point performance against UMass was a new personal best. Earlier in the week, the duo was named to the All-Classic team at the 2013 Blue Sky Classic.
• Dartmouth is 17-17 all-time in Ivy League season openers. The Harvard game begins the 35th season of Ancient 8 regular-season play. From 1974-78, the conference ran a tournament to decide the winner without playing any in-league regular season games.
• Harvard is looking for their 10th win of the season after falling to Fordham in the championship game of the Fordham Holiday Classic on Dec. 30. Christine Clark leads the Crimson, averaging 17.4 points per game. Temi Fagbenle is second in scoring at 13.2 points, but leads the team in rebounds at 10.4.
The 14-game tournament known simply as The Ivy League begins at Leede Arena at 2 p.m. For all eight teams that encompass this historic league, there will be no neutral site competition, no brackets, no pre-tournament gala; just 14 games to determine who will represent the league at the NCAA Tournament in March. In the Ivy League, short-term memory loss is a good thing, especially if you are a team on the wrong side of a Friday night decision and have to immediately bus to your next destination for a Saturday evening contest.
The 74th meeting between the Big Green and Crimson is set for Saturday afternoon. The Crimson hold a 41-32 edge over the team from the Upper Valley, but it was Dartmouth who took the last decision, a 58-45 victory at home on Jan. 26, 2013. The prior meeting in Cambridge went the way of the home team, as Harvard handed Dartmouth an 88-66 setback. In this historic rivalry, it was the Crimson taking the first five meetings, which included a playoff contest won by the hosts in 1978. Dartmouth took control of the early 1980's, winning the next seven meetings. It wasn't until 1982 that saw the home-and-home series, begin between Ivy foes. Both sides traded wins through the mid-80's, but it was Harvard winning six of seven appearances in the early-90's that allowed the Boston-based institution to thrive. Over the past decade, the series has been a virtual deadlock, with Harvard taking just one extra win away from the Big Green, 11-10, with two playoff games to determine an outright league winner – both in favor of the Green. Since turning over into the new millennium, Dartmouth and Harvard have met to begin the Ivy League season 14 consecutive times with Harvard holding an 8-6 margin.
Harvard took the opening game of the series, 88-66, in Cambridge, but two weeks later, the Big Green tied the series and grabbed their first home win of the year, 58-45. For Dartmouth, Faziah Steen '13 averaged 15.5 points to lead the Green. Nicola Zimmer played in the home game and led the team with 18 points. Tia Dawson, who will miss this year's festivities, averaged nine points and eight rebounds. On the Crimson side, Christine Clark averaged 22 points and six rebounds after hitting the 22-point plateau twice. Victoria Lippert had 19 points in the win, but struggled at Leede Arena scoring just two, while Temi Fagbenle averaged eight.
The battle of the top shooting guards in the league will matchup on day one. Dartmouth's sharpshooting freshman phenom Fanni Szabo, who leads the Ancient Eight in scoring at 18.2 points per game, will square off against the league's third-best scorer, Christine Clark at 17.4 per night. Szabo set a career-high 34 points in the Big Green's last home match to UMass on Dec. 30. The quick-shooting rookie has scored in double figures 10 times this season, topping 30 points on three occasions. Clark has led her team through 10 games played. She missed three games in the month of December, and failed to reach double figures twice. Her season-high is 28 points against Northeastern on Nov. 26.
Fanni Szabo added her second Ivy League Rookie of the Week after scoring a career-high 33 points in a home loss to Providence. Szabo started out slow, scoring seven points in the opening frame, but exploded out of the gate in the second half with 26 points on 11-of-15 from the field and 4-of-6 from the outside. Szabo also added six steals, three rebounds and two assists to her game accolades.
Fanni Szabo was named the first Ivy League Rookie of the Week this season after scoring 21 points in her collegiate debut against Holy Cross.
Szabo has led the team offensively in eight of the 13 games so far this season and continues to push her team. Her career-high of 34 points capped a 76-72 victory for the team against UMass in the Blue Sky Classic. In the squads other win this season, Szabo netted 31 in her home debut against Vermont. Through 12 games this season, Szabo has scored 227 points, while averaging 18.9 points per game. She has eclipsed the 20+-point plateau on six occasions this season with three games in the 30+ region. Only twice has she come up short scoring less than 10 points, both losses.
The Big Green have yet have a game this season, where all 17 members have been healthy enough to dress. The team has gone through stretches where at least one member of the opening night starting lineup has been scratched due to an injury or illness. The team went through a three-game stretch in December where three of the five were inactive. Senior Nicola Zimmer missed seven games due to Mono, as did junior Milica Toskovic who needed four games rest from the same illness. Junior Tia Dawson sat four games with a concussion and will now miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury she sustained after returning from her initial injury. The team has yet to see sophomores Kasey Crockett and Lauren Taiclet return from injuries sustained from last season. Sophomore Daisy Jordan also began the season on IR and missed the first eight games with a knee issue, but returned to full active duty against DePaul. Classmate Sophia Roman has also returned from an in-season injury sustained during practice at Syracuse which inactivated her for three games.
Seniors Nicola Zimmer and Eve Zelinger were named co-captains for the season. Zimmer, returns for her second season as team leader, with Zelinger being voted on by her teammates.
Junior Abbey Schmitt had a great first season with the big Green in 12-13 after sitting out her freshman campaign with a knee injury, as the Winnetka, Ill. native was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week three times. As a junior, Schmitt transitioned into a center and is averaging 6.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per contest. In the Green's home defeat against Albany, Schmitt registered her third career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Schmitt and the Big Green will make a special appearance in her hometown for a pair of games before the holiday break, against DePaul and Loyola Chicago. Against DePaul, Schmitt scored 10 points and had four rebounds. Against Loyola, she had six points, five rebound and one steal.
|Click through for the game program
Sophomore Lakin Roland impressed the new coaching staff during training camp and has jumped in the starting power forward spot. Roland is second in scoring, averaging 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. At 6-0, Roland will need to use her size and ability on the glass to help her team on both ends of the court. Roland has also been a tremendous help on the defensive side and has taken five defensive charges so far. During the recent Chicago trip, Roland nearly averaged a double-double with 11.5 points and nine rebounds. She notched her first double-double against Loyola with 10 points and 12 rebounds. In the next game at home against La Salle, she claimed her second with 13 points an 12 rebounds. Roland finished the Blue Sky Classic with 11 points and six rebounds and was one of two Big Green members on the All-Classic squad. Over the past five games, she has scored in double figures in each game with two double-doubles in consecutive appearances. In total, she has notched double figures in seven games and tallied nine points twice.
Junior Tia Dawson was set to have a breakout season with the Big Green after setting a new high of six blocks in the home-opener against Vermont. Since then she has played in three more games with a four-game absence sandwiched in between. After returning for just one game against DePaul, where she scored four points but grabbed eight rebounds and helped the Big Green break the full court trap of the Blue Demons, Dawson went down with a season-ending ankle injury in warm-ups against Loyola. Her presence will be missed on the floor, as the team will now once again look for size inside.
Szabo has made quite a name for herself in her native Hungary. Szabo has been named to multiple All-Tournament teams and has taken the stage in many important games for her country, including an exhibition against Team USA in 2011. Szabo scored four points in the game that featured current WNBA stars Cappie Pondexter, Brittney Griner and Tina Charles.
The Big Green were chosen fifth in the 2013-14 Ivy League preseason poll, that was conducted by various media outlets within the eight institutions and one national media member.
TUTTO IN FAMIGLIA (All in the Family)
After being hired by Dartmouth, Koclanes searched for a staff that would complement her coaching style. Former Navy assistant Maria Noucas was tabbed as the top-assistant, after battling Koclanes the past few seasons in the Patriot League. Koclanes' next option was to find someone who understands the ins and outs of the Ivy League. Enter the 2011 Ivy Player of the Year Addie Micir, a Princeton graduate. Micir is a smart, energetic fresh mind that just finished two seasons overseas in Europe. Her most recent team was Challenge Sports Binnenland in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The final position on the staff went to Koclanes' former student-manager at ODU Michael Motta. The youngest member on staff, Motta spent last season with Providence as a graduate assistant coach.
The schedule will feature six teams that played in the post-season last year, including three from the Ivy League. Dartmouth will square off against four teams from the America East Conference (Albany, Hartford, New Hampshire and Vermont) and two teams from the Big East (DePaul and Providence), Atlantic-10 (La Salle and UMass) and Patriot League (American and Holy Cross). The Big Green will also face single foes from the Atlantic Coast Conference (Syracuse), Northeast Conference (Bryant) and Independent (NJIT).
Dartmouth will play the most home non-conference games at Leede Arena since the 1992-93 season, when they hosted eight teams. In total this season, the Big Green will welcome 15 different schools to Hanover, but only 14 will face the Green. Binghamton is the only team to not face Dartmouth, as they are the third team in the Blue Sky Classic.
Dartmouth Athletics, in partnership with NeuLion, announced the launch of the brand new Ivy League Digital Network, featuring enhanced live video streaming of all home games and extensive coverage of Big Green road contests against Ivy League foes.
Starting with the 2013-14 season, the completely redesigned Dartmouth channel — known as Big Green Insider — will include an easy-to-navigate interface with a league-wide network schedule and new interactive features that showcase the expanded content offerings available on computer, mobile and tablet devices, all without the use of an app.
This season 24 of the 28 games will be streamed with free live audio on Dartmouthsports.com and the Ivy League Digital Network. Brett Franklin will have the call beginning with a live 15-minute pre-game show where he will be joined by an assistant coach and player and then an extensive postgame show with head coach Belle Koclanes. During select road games this season, assistant SID Nick Guerriero will join Franklin to help breakdown the game and give the inside scoop on Dartmouth women's basketball.
Inspired by former Old Dominion head coach Wendy Larry; Belle Koclanes is following in her footsteps with her own radio talk show segments. Koclanes joins WTSL 94.3FM/1400-AM and WTSV 1230-AM host Brett Franklin every Tuesday evening from 5:30-5:45 p.m. An archive of the weekly segment can be heard on Dartmouthsports.com the following day.

TSN's Tom Dienhart Goes Out on Journalistic Limb
Wow. Groundbreaking stuff. Criticizing Carr after a 7-5 season. How does he have the balls to even type such words? I mean, one doesn't see 50 of those stories littering every U-M fan board in cyberspace. Hell, Dienhart could have taken the day off and simply cut-and-pasted from Rivals, Scout or any Fuck-You-Lloyd-Because-You-Don't-Win-Every-Game .org, .net or .com site.
Doubt me? Go try and find any pro-Lloyd threads out there. You have a better chance finding a Republican at a Hollywood fundraiser or some joker still running one of those FireJoePa sites which have suddenly gone silent on the heels of the Nittany Lions 11-1 mark in 2005.
Point is, Michigan fans need to take a deep breath. The sky is not falling. Really.
Before last season, Michigan went to back-to-back Rose Bowls. Yes, the Wolverines lost but keep those defeats in perspective. One of those losses was to a USC team in the midst of something like the third longest winning streak in NCAA history while the other Rose Bowl loss was on the last play of the game to Texas team led by a QB who absolutely shredded that same USC team even worse this past January.
Yes, 2005 was unacceptable. Totally agree. But it was an aberration. Even Dienhart mentions in his story that he "will give Carr and Michigan credit: They never have fallen on their keister like every other major program. USC, Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Penn State, Oklahoma, Georgia, Miami, Nebraska, LSU, Notre Dame … all of those college football fat boys have had losing records at some point over the past 15-20 years."
Furthermore, Lloyd has totally revamped his staff in an effort to correct the mistakes of last season. So the maize and blue faithful need to relax. It's not as bad as the cyber parrots would have you believe, even those getting paid to write that the sky is falling.

oh great TMZ, see'er of the future you have put my maize and blue heart @ ease.
anyone who thinks that an old dog can be 'tricked' out of his old ways - well, they must be blinded by rabies.
if a few coaching position changes (not really that new alltogether anyhow) is what you're hanging your hat on - that's the abberation!! but if it makes you feel better, then daydream.

With the talent Michigan pulls they should always be top team at the end of the season. Although the sweatervest has had better recruiting classes lately, both programs get their pick of athletes from their area and can recruit from across the nation.
I realize Carr has always been a winner, but you can't tell me you wouldn't want some new hotshot to come in and give your program the kick in the pants it needs. If he loses 3 games and the 1 to OSU he's gone.

Amen, Yost.
Also, anyone who thinks Lloyd's job is in danger doesn't know a thing about how Michigan is run. Get hammered at a stakehouse: fired. Go 7-5 but don't do anything scandalous: you're safe. I agree with this approach. Other schools purge coaches like their programs are Central American banana republics in the '70s. (See, e.g. , Nebraska and Alabama). Lloyd will go when he wants to go, so deal. Otherwise, I think Rick Neuheisel is still on the market.

Look, Dienhart's column is on a par with the rest of the crap that TSN turns out on a regular basis. This one is swimming in its own hyperbole when it suggests that Carr might be on the hot seat.
(Here's the Stephen A. Smith) HOWEVA, his opening point is valid: no team in college football does less with more than Michigan in recent years. Carr is not an innovator. He's an anachronism from college football's kinder, more innocent years... that never existed. You know, those years when assistant coaches weren't treated as expendable (when?); when football players weren't lionized (ok, circa 1910?); when people didn't bitch about stupefying losses... Carr doesn't like the modern game and his stubborn adherence to his 'own way of doing things' has made the program a punch line for an awful lot of jokes. When the idiots on College Gameday can sit there and reasonably wonder why Michigan performs so poorly in 2 or 3 games, season after season, it's hard to make a counter-argument with a straight face. Switching assistant coaches (returning Mike DeBord, of all people, to 'rejuvenate' the offense?) is not a solution, either.

Agree with Crimenotes on the fact that Carr is not in any danger of being fired. None. My beef isn't so much with the 5 in the loss column (well, yeah it is), it's more with the way LLLLLoyd coaches more to not lose than to win every year, which almost always results in losing games they have no business losing. He is usually so paranoid about his players screwing up the game, that he goes and does it himself. Just once I wanna hear him say "Fuck it, let's go for it. Fuck it, let's blitz the hell out of 'em" with the game on the line. One of the more memorable Michigan plays of my lifetime occurred when Mo was Coach, in '91 going for it on 4th against Notre Dame, which won the game. No way in hell Carr makes that call, ever. Gawd, I'm rambling.

No, I'm not comfortable with that, because that was a TIE game at the time, and any dumbass could see Minny was playing for OT (well, except Michigan's coaches).
More like when they get super-conservative and let tOSU comeback and score 2 td's for the win after leading by 9 late in the game at home.
- June 21, 2006 12:51 PM
Cock D:
See there are times when you blitz and other times when you don't. It seems like the Michigan coaches don't know which is which.
I.E. Minnesota is running out the clock, DON'T BLITZ
OSU is going long and passing on every down, DON'T GO INTO A COVER 2 EVERY DAMN PLAY
I HATE THE COVER 2 and the PREVENT BS that we always play in the end of games. Never ever blitzing at the end of the game, its just retarded.
You've gotta mix it up, run some zone with some blitzes, hell maybe even do a ZONE blitz.
Hopefully things will change this year.

As for the two Rose Bowls:
USC took us out behind the shed and beat the snot out of us. I was there. It was awful. We never had a chance.
Texas could have been beaten if we had a coach who understood that the clock will eventually expire unless those crazy new-fangled Time Out thingys are utilized.
Oh, and if the scouting report that read: "Texas only has one good player. You might want to contain him" was looked at before the game.
Will Lloyd be fired? Of course not. Is he a good coach? When he wins ONE important road game more than 3 hours away, and I'll think about it.

If Lloyd were a marriage, we're all at the stage where we're bored as hell, our eyes are wandering, and we're thinking about how nice it would be with someone else. (As a single guy, I'm just guessing.) The predictability and lack of adventure are getting old. We've heard our friend talk about the one who's really into blitzing and going for it on fourth, which seems so exotic and alluring that it blows our fucking minds.
But this is all dreamy-eyed claptrap. If we were all spazzing after the Alamo Bowl (I left some deranged comments on here condemning this blog's lack of primal rage) imagine a losing year with someone new, a Tressel-lite who can't control his players, or a rat fink Neuheiselesque social climber. Obviously a lot of you think Michigan can do better, but look to other storied and moneyed programs and see how they fared in transition. (Hello Bob Davie, John Cooper, Ty Willingham, Gary Barnett, etc. etc.) I suspect that whoever comes in after Lloyd will have an experience like Ron Zook's at Florida, and we'll all be bitching because things weren't as tight as they were under Lloyd.
I'd rather teach the old dog some new tricks than housebreak "some new hotshot" who's in and out after three seasons and a Sun Bowl.

If Lloyd went ten years without a single bowl win, would that justify a firing?
Oh, yeah. Bo did that. He must have sucked worse, right? After all, where was his national championship? After how many decades in the job? How many Rose Bowls did he lose? Am I the only person who remembers this classic line?:
"Bo can't win the big one"
College football is about coaching and stability. Programs that get those two right do really well, without fail.
Iowa stuck with Kirk Ferentz after he won 11 games in his first THREE years following his replacement of legendary Hayden Fry. Is that grounds for firing, or what?
Nope. He won 31 games his next three years.
Frank Solich followed a legend and won 38 games in the last four years before they fired him. The team won ten games his last season.
Callahan won just HALF that total the following year, snapping the longest current streak of seasons without a losing season in the NCAA. Last year, Nebraska won just eight games in the Big 12 North (aka "MAC light").
THAT would have gotten Solich fired, let alone the five win season the year before. Yet, Nebraska fans are talking about HOPE! Are Michigan fans ready to adjust their standards?
The record for most seasons without a losing record now belongs to Michigan, and is in the hands of Lloyd, the only man to win a National Championship at Michigan since Kim Jong Il's daddy was taking over South Korea. (Michigan State has TWO NC's since then, BTW).
Lloyd will surely stretch it another year this season. Three coaches since 1969 -- one fired over a brush with the law. That is coaching success. That is stability.
PLEASE fire him, Michigan. This Spartan can't wait. Throw yourself into a Nebraska or Pittsburgh type turmoil, wondering why all the victories vanished after you fired the "underacheiving coach."
Here's a message for you: THE SCREWY LOOKING HELMETS DO NOT WIN THE GAMES, and the silent, crabby fans don't get it done either. If you don't lose, it's because the guy calling the shots is doing something right.
Someday, from a low and lonely position, I dearly hope that you all look back and wonder about what you failed to appreciate. Bring it on soon.

Right back 'atcha:
My inspiration for the previous missive was a visit to the 'comments' section in TSN bit about Lloyd. Almost without fail, through the first couple of days, the meanest of the 'Fire Lloyd' sribes posting were those with a command of the language that... well ...
...I'll be diplomatic and say that its refreshing to know that Sesame Street can still perform such a solid public service for so much of the vocal Michigan fan base. To put these folks in touch with the help they need, I'd suggest that the long search for a school mascot should end with a large yellow bird that could be encouraged to wear a blue sweatervest.
(And, on a more serious note, I too offer a tip of the hat for the dead-on 'banana republic' analogy re: coaching changes.)

There is no need to do a small modification or to obtain the source for this.
that's the whole point of the article, me thinks.
what to do? dunno. warez their application. lobby dosbox to do an official version.
sue them. have fsf sue them - this is actually what you should do, buy it, request the source and when denied sue them.
I thought you could charge any amount you want for distribution...
Yes and no.
1. If you sell a binary that contains GPLv2 code, you must also make available the source code , and for distributing that source code, you can only charge a reasonable fee to cover costs.
2. The binary you may charge whatever you want - 1 cent or $1000 or whatever.
A restriction is only as binding as its enforcement mechanism. If the developers behind DOSBox aren't going to hold other developers accountable who are trading on their name, and nobody else is willing to take them to court over it (and obviously nobody will over $3.99), then the restrictions are meaningless.
Another incident which comes to mind is that of DD-WRT - there are several articles on this, but I'll just link to the first on Google's listings [wi-fiplanet.com] - where they derived their product from open source code (OpenWRT), then closed source key parts and refuse to release the code in workable form.
It seems to me that this is the fundamental problem with GPL, and some other, open source licenses; it all depends on the honor system. Sure, they are technically legally binding, but if nobody holds anybody's feet to the fire, that means nothing.
As it pertains to you if you really care that much about it, I suppose you have three choices: (1) Swallow it, and pay the price they are demanding; (2) Go without, and refuse to give developers like this your money; (3) Buy a license of the source code, and then release it publicly out of principle. Since this stemmed from wanting to play games from your childhood, the pragmatist in me says to choose option two and move on.
It seems to me that this is the fundamental problem with GPL, and some other, open source licenses
No, it's a fundamental problem with the current legal system. Nothing more, nothing less. The GPL, as any contract, is only enforceable by the legal system in place, which has this bias.
A restriction is only as binding as its enforcement mechanism. If the developers behind DOSBox aren't going to hold other developers accountable who are trading on their name, and nobody else is willing to take them to court over it (and obviously nobody will over $3.99), then the restrictions are meaningless.
Pretty much this. We can yell and scream and call them horrible people all we want. In the end of the day, no one gives a shit. The only ones with grounds to do anything about this are the DosBox devs, and they've either decided they don't care, or that the situation is ambiguous enough to let it slide. They wouldn't even need to take this joker to court: just start by reporting the infringement to google.
It seems to me that this is the fundamental problem with GPL, and some other, open source licenses; it all depends on the honor system. Sure, they are technically legally binding, but if nobody holds anybody's feet to the fire, that means nothing.
Your problem is that you don't understand how these licenses work. The copyright holder gave people permission to make copies, as long as they followed certain rules. This doesn't mean anyone, even the copyright holder, can force anyone to follow these rules. It means that anyone making copies without following the rules, or without having any other permission, commits copyright infringement, and the copyright holder can sue them for copyright infringement.
If you are not the copyright holder, you have no standing to sue.
The GPL doesn't prohibit you from charging for your software. It does require you to give the source to anyone who gets the binary and charge only the cost of distribution, but failing to do so is a license violation against the copyright holder, not against the user who wants the source.
So you need to convince a copyright holder of the original GPL2 version to go after the individual who isn't releasing source.
And you need to pay the $3.99 before you can get the source from the other guy.
And you need to pay the $3.99 before you can get the source from the other guy.
And then publish it, compile your own version and upload it to Play for free.
If that were true than MySQL would of never been able to make money...
MySQL, like every profitable product with OSS in it makes its money from proprietary extensions.
No one actually makes money directly from OSS.
If you are a DOSBox developer and have code in the source tree, try sending a DMCA takedown notice to Google.
If you aren't, it sounds like you've done the first step, which is report it to the community at large. You might contact DOSBox's developer community and see if they even care.
its dos, it hasnt been made for over a decade, does your app work? if yes then be happy, if no then start looking, its not like it has to keep up with the bleeding edge of MS DOS development here
The GPL doesn't mandate that the software/source code be released for free, it mandates that the source code MUST accompany the binary if (and only if) the binary is distributed.
For example, I work for Random Fortune 500 Co. and take a copy of DOSBox, heavily modify it and deploy it to all the workstations in my organization. At no point am I publicly distributing a binary, thus nobody has the right to demand I release my source code.
Example 2: I decide to take the DOSBox source code and make an Android port. I put this port in the app store and sell it for $5. Unless you purchase the application, again you have no right to request the source code. If 100 people purchase my application, they have the right to request the modified source code. If you buy it, you can request the source code.
Once you get the source code, you can do whatever you want with it, within the bounds of the GPL. You can give it away for free, package it up and resell it (modified or unmodified), or never give it away to anyone!
The GPL doesn't mandate that the software/source code be released for free, it mandates that the source code MUST accompany the binary if (and only if) the binary is distributed.
Yes and no. Source code only has to be made available if the binaries are distributed, that much is correct. But the GPL v2 does not mandate that the source code must accompany the binaries. For commercial distribution, what it mandates (down in section 3, paragraphis A and B [gnu.org]) is that either:
So yes, if you put up a port of DOSBox in the app store and don't include source code in the package, I can indeed come along and demand the source code from you without ever buying a copy of your app. If you refuse to provide it, you're in breach of your license to distribute the DOSBox code because you're failing to comply with section 3 regarding availability of the source code (no source in the binary package means paragraph A doesn't apply, your failure to make it available to any third party means paragraph B doesn't apply, and since you're distributing commercially through the app store paragraph C doesn't apply).
And here is why people don't develop GPL commercial apps.
How hard is it? The *distributor* of the binary is requires to distribute the source code as well. IF you get the binary from some HAX4FREE website, well, then you can aks them for the source code too, NOT the original developer.
So if you get the binary from an AppStore, you are entitled for the source code. IF you then get it from a
The GPL does not require that the source code accompany the binary, although that is the simplest way to comply with clause 3 of the GPL.
Clause 3 gives three options. Clause 3(a) allows one to distribute the source with the binary. Clause 3(b) allows one to offer to distribute the source to ANY third party. Clause 3(c) allows one to refer requests up the food chain. (Al puts the app out there. Bob grabs a copy, and gives it to Charlie. Charlie asks Bob for the source. Bob is allowed under clause 3(c) to tell Charlie "I got it from Al, he said you could get it from HERE".) Clause 3(c) is restricted to noncommercial distribution, and only works if all you got was a clause 3(b) offer. If you got the source with the binary (clause 3(a)), you are required to give it up on request.
Your Example #2 is SPECIFICALLY wrong. If you do not distribute your GPL source WITH your GPL binary in accordance with clause 3(a), you are required by clause 3(b) of the GPL to make your source code available to ANYONE who requests it.
Once you get the source code, you can do whatever you want with it, within the bounds of the GPL. You can give it away for free, package it up and resell it (modified or unmodified), or never give it away to anyone!
Three things I'd like to throw in here. First, you'd think that after a few dickish maneuvers of making source hard to get, someone that got the source from him would post it up somewhere so anyone could have it (whether or not they bought the author's binary) I suppose the author may try to go
Even better than "pay the $3.99 and upload the app". Pay the $3.99, get the source. Then talk to upstream to merge the changes upstream. Then redistribute the app from upstream. You do not want to have to upkeep a separate code tree for android. Merging it to upstream might just give you free updates of the engine.
The author says he already did send his changes upstream, but upstream appears to be dead.
gross violation of the GPL, report it to the EFF and the FSF immediately, they can and just might sue.
They can only sue if they are the copyright holder.
Unless I'm misreading the text of GPL v2, a fee can only be charged to cover the cost of the distribution of a program or derived work, not the cost of development.
You are misreading the GPL [gnu.org]. There's nothing stopping the author selling the product for £1,000,000.
Of course he's obliged to give the source code away - but only to people he distributes the application to. He's not obliged to make the source code available to anyone who wants a copy, and he's not obliged to distribute it to people who haven't got a copy of the binary.
Thing is, he's not allowed to impose any onerous conditions on you. He could sell it for, say, £1,000,000; you could buy it and then sell it yourself for £100. If you can persuade more than ten thousand people to buy it, you'd make a profit overall. If you could persuade 10,001 people to pay £100 for every one person who pays £1,000,000 to the original author, you'd make more money than them!
This means that it's pretty rare for commercial software to be sold under the GPL; usually it's dual-licensed. But it's not unknown, and as more hobbyist developers start looking at selling packaged apps on platforms like Google Play, I think it may even become more common.
Apparently a common misconception, but a misconception nonetheless. If you read the GPL v2 section 3 on distribution in object-code form [gnu.org], you'll find you have 3 options:
If you're distributing the source along with the binarie
Actually, no, that's not quite right. You can't resell his binary without his permission. The way it works is:
1) He doesn't have to give the original source or his modified source to anyone by default, and he can charge whatever he wants for his binaries built from modified source.
2) He *does* have to make either the complete modified source or patches against otherwise-available baseline GPL source available to everyone who buys his binary. He can charge a very minimal fee for access to this source (e.g
Did you even read the GPL text?
I think you are referring to the to the section 3) of the GPL license [gnu.org]?
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
There it states that You may copy and distribute the Program
I think a lot of people misunderstand the GPL. The GPL is a license that is protecting the user and grands the user rights (to study the code, to modify the
This exactly points out what is wrong with this world.

If the math is working well for you and you live on fast noodles and in a cardboard box, then complain!
I'm not a software engineer, just someone who is shocked by consumer attitudes over and over again.
If you want the app, pay the fee. If you are squabbling over the cost of a coffee at Starbucks, you have more financial issues than you think and if that is the case, you probably don't need that shiny Android device.
If it ticks you off so much, fork the most recent open source version you can find and try to build a community behind it.
I do understand this is all about GPL Violations, but if what brought you to investigating it was sticker price shock, I am just baffled by your cheapness.
First, the question is of the interaction. The apps almost certainly consist of a launcher/helper written in Java/Android and a compiled binary. The normal analysis is that by calling a GPLed program your program does not yet become GPLed. The next detail is that the DOSBox source is probably modified, e.g. to interact with the hardware (e.g. Android is not X11), and to compile on ARM,
Because I am an adult.
Thanks for the very lively and interesting discussion. The OP e-mailed a few days ago asking for the source code for DosBox Turbo [google.com]. I informed him that I make available the source code to my users whom I've distributed a binary to and that the GPL specifically allows for this. I also make available the source code to the upsteam DosBox devs, and forwarded them copies not too long ago. Furthermore, I've contacted the aDosBox devs and offered to port many of my improvements into the free aDosBox software for everyone to benefit. I've never heard back from the aDosBox devs, and I am assuming it is a dead project, as there has been no activity in over a year and no response to my messages in over 4 months.
While I respect the OP's opinion that (actual price on Google play is $3.49) is too much to pay (don't forget Google takes 30% off the top), the reality is, a majority of my time is spent providing user support, fixing bugs in various Android devices that my users have, and implementing new features and suggestions from my user-base. I've amassed a collection of no less than 8 different Android devices, so that I can reproduce a wide range of reported bugs.
The OP and I may disagree on what my time is worth; however, we did have a constructive discussion about perhaps moving to a model of charging for the value add-ons (which I currently provide for free), although, I'm not sure how easy that would be within the Google Play framework. I also suggested to him that there were numerous avenues for him to obtain a copy of the binary free of charge if price was a factor (one only has to search the various Android warez sites) and that I had no problems with him going that route.
While the OP may disagree with me, I believe that being able to charge for GPL software (and comply with the GPL) allows for development of better software with features and bug fixes that would normally never occur. Believe me, it is very time-consuming to sit around for hours answering user e-mails, or spending hours to fix hard to reproduce bugs that occur only on a specific version of Android or a specific device. Few, if any people, would do that kind of tedious work for free.
As a point of fact, the GPL does not "specifically allow[]" you to make the source code available only to users who pay for a binary version. GPLv2 offers three choices when distributing a binary work covered by its terms: 3(a) accompany the binary version with the source code; 3(b) accompany the binary version with an offer to provide the source code to anyone, at no more than your cost to distribute the source; or 3(c) -- for non-commercial redistribution of binary forms -- with the same offer that one received according to 3(b).
I informed him that I make available the source code [only] to my users whom I've distributed a binary to and that the GPL specifically allows for this.
That's only the case if you include the source code along with the binaries. Otherwise you must accompany the binaries with a written offer for the source code, of which anybody (including those who aren't your customers) is then free to take advantage.

Athletics to Hold Aggie Football Celebration Jan. 25 before Basketball Game
Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014
Utah State University Athletics will hold an Aggie Football Celebration Saturday, Jan. 25, on the concourse of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum to celebrate the 2013 season. The event begins at 8 p.m. and runs until 8:45 p.m. The celebration takes place prior to USU's men's basketball game against nationally ranked San Diego State.
During the Aggie Football Celebration, members of the 2013 Mountain West Mountain Division Championships and San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Championship team will be on hand to sign autographs. The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl trophy will be on display.
Autographs are available on the concourse, and fans must have a ticket to the men's basketball game to attend the Aggie Football Celebration. The first 2,500 fans will receive a commemorative 2013 football poster for autographs.
Tickets for Utah State men's basketball games are $18 for non-priority seating and $20 for priority seating.
Utah State will also recognize the 2013 Aggie Football team at halftime of the USU vs. SDSU men's basketball game, with a video highlighting the season shown prior to the introduction.
Utah State concluded the 2013 season with a 21-14 win against 24th-ranked Northern Illinois in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl finishing the year with a 9-5 record and tied with the 1960 and 1961 teams for the second-most wins in school history. With its win against Northern Illinois, Utah State posted back-to-back bowl wins for the first time in school history as it played in its third-straight bowl game, also a first at USU.
Utah State, who finished the 2013 season by winning six of its final seven games, also set the school record for conference wins as it posted a 7-1 league mark in its first season in the Mountain West to win the Mountain Division of the conference and advance to the inaugural Mountain West Championship game.
Utah State ended the year ranking tied for 37th nationally in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches' polls with two votes each, marking the second time in as many years that USU has concluded the season ranked among the top teams in the nation as the 2012 team was ranked 16th in the final AP poll, 17th in the final coaches' poll and 22nd in the final Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings.
Fans can follow the Aggie football program on Twitter or on Facebook at Utah State Football, as well as on Instagram. Aggie fans can also follow the Utah State athletic program on Twitter or on Facebook at Utah State University Athletics.

This is just a very cool feature I've recently discovered on Apache servers to add custom handlers for your own custom file extensions:
Action handler_name handler_file
Addhandler hander_name .extension
Currently, I've implemented such feature to create a custom "web programming language" for one of my clients so that he does not need to learn advanced scripting languages to edit his website.
Essentially, I point my custom handler to my handler file, which is basically a parser for all files of the given extension. The parser file simply translates the simplified code into the actual, more complex code and then is outputted to the browser when the client accesses the page.
Just though you guys would like to see this.

Surprising Further Evidence for a Wet Mars 192
Riding with Robots writes "When the robotic geologist Spirit found the latest evidence for a wet Mars, 'You could hear people gasp in astonishment,' said Steve Squyres, the lead scientist for the Mars rovers. 'This is a remarkable discovery. And the fact that we found something this new and different after nearly 1,200 days on Mars makes it even more remarkable. It makes you wonder what else is still out there.' The latest discovery, announced today, adds compelling new evidence for ancient conditions that might have been favorable for life, according to the rover team."

Bryant Nowicki will be Michigan's left tackle for the next few weeks. That can't be good.
What happened to Perry Dorrenstein? Wasn't he supposed to be the number two left tackle?
Rodriguez's latest press conference has revealed that Angry Michigan Offensive-Line-Hating God has seen fit to dislocate Mark Ortmann's elbow. He's out for about three weeks. Cue the skull-heavy, foreboding painting:
Mmmm, undead beef jerky. Also: now what?
Bryant Nowicki isn't Belgium's famous painter but he is Michigan's soon-to-be famous planet-sized walk-on starter at left tackle. When he came off the bench to replace Ortmann I deeply regretted the demise of the free programs that were so essential for figuring out which obscure player just made a special teams gaffe or, like, is our freakin' left tackle. Then I saw Nowicki talking to David Molk and it was weird that one of our OL made another of our OL look like Martavious Odoms. Then I deeply regretted Michigan's offensive line recruiting over the past five years. Then Nowicki played pretty decently.
So what's the deal?
Nowicki was a recruit who drew interest from a bunch of schools early because he was 6'9" and football-sized but didn't pick up a D-I offer. Some local I-AA and D-II schools did offer, but Nowicki picked a preferred walk-on spot at Michigan over toiling at SVSU or wherever.
This is his third year against Michigan, during which time he's lost around 40 pounds and learned not to squint in photographs:
He saw action in two blowouts—Notre Dame and Minnesota—last year. ESPN, surprisingly, scouted him. Upshot:
He can be a dominant blocker in a restricted area. He has dropped weight between his junior and senior year, and is more effective dealing with moving targets. He is able to more consistently get a piece, but will still struggle in space. As a pass protector he struggles to reset his feet and has difficulty handling speed, but can mirror rushers in a short area. Nowicki is interesting because of his size, but he may not move well enough to play guard and may struggle with speed rushers at the tackle position.
He's dropped 40 pounds, so maybe the movement has improved? I'll attend to him closely in UFR. Chances he's good are low, but he wasn't an obvious sieve in the way Courtney Morgan was. That may be an effect of opponent and relative competence of the gentlemen around him.
Bryant Nowicki will be Michigan's left tackle for the next few weeks. That can't be good.
What happened to Perry Dorrenstein? Wasn't he supposed to be the number two left tackle?
According to MLive, Rodriguez said Dorrestein will get the start: http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/football/index.ssf/2008/09/monday_morning_michigan_ortman.html
you are blowin' my mind.
a thousand cocktails to you, sir.
interested in the u.f.r., but i had the binocs on him for probably half of his plays and he...didn't stink, from what i saw. he looked okay.
I didn't make it a point to watch him over all of his plays, but I do remember that he completely whiffed on either his first or second play, leading to a broken option play that resulted in a TFL. I decided to stop watching him after that.

|Misericordia president Michael MacDowell, athletic director Dave Martin and MAC commissioner Ken Andrews attend the Cougars football announcement ceremony.
Misericordia will put its 86-year football unbeaten streak on the line as the Board of Trustees has approved the addition of football as a varsity sport.
The move to add football supports Misericordia's recently approved strategic plan that calls for thoughtful growth and an increase in the university's regional acclamation. The school, a Catholic institution located in Dallas, Pa., just northwest of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was founded in 1924 as a women's college and went co-ed in the 1970s.
"This is an exciting time for the Misericordia University community, in particular the intercollegiate athletics program," said David Martin, director of athletics. "This is one of the most impactful changes in the history of our institution."
The 14th sport added since Misericordia joined the NCAA Division III in 1992, football brings MU's total number of intercollegiate offerings to 23.
"In an ongoing effort to meet the demands of our student-athletes, our athletics program has grown in proportion to the University over the last two decades," said Martin. "The addition of football will have a significant impact on our entire operation."
The first order of business is finding a coach as the Cougars prepare for the 2012 season. "We will immediately begin a national search for a head coach," said Martin. "We hope to have a coach in place by February to begin the recruiting process for 2012."
The 2012 MAC lineup:
Who else is adding football? Check our FAQ for the full list.
While the addition of football has been rumored for at least 20 years, the possibility became more realistic with MU's transition to the MAC and Freedom Conference in 2008 – the Cougars will become the 10th MAC school to offer football, following Stevenson, which will join as an affiliate member with its first team next fall. "Being in a conference that sponsors football certainly added fuel to the football fire on campus," said Martin. "The change in conference affiliation was one of many factors in our decision."
The decision also comes in conjunction with the on-going improvements to Misericordia's athletics facilities. "Our goal has always been to provide our student-athletes with a first-rate experience which includes quality facilities. Our fitness center is relocating to the upper level of the Anderson Center and will more than double in size. The current fitness center will be converted into office space."
Mangelsdorf Field, the current home for MU's soccer, field hockey and soccer teams, will also undergo a facelift. In addition to the 10-year-old turf being replaced, the complex will see increased seating capacity and a field house/press box. "These are major upgrades which will have a positive impact on a larger percentage of our student-athletes as well as visiting teams."
Anderson Field, the previous varsity soccer field, will be converted to artificial grass and the baseball field will also be upgraded.

After a trial run in Charlotte this summer, Time Warner Cable officially launched its SignatureHome service today.
SignatureHome is Time Warner Cable's premium service offering that is based on the company's triple-play services. It's also part of Time Warner Cable's segmentation strategy [1], which includes SignatureHome on the upper end and the recently announced TV Essentials [2] on the lower end.
Time Warner Cable is charging $39.99 per month in its New York City trial of TV Essentials, while customers in Ohio are paying $29.99 per month. The nation's second-largest cable operator has priced Signature Home at 199.99 per month in New York City – where Time Warner Cable competes with Verizon – and $179.99 in Charlotte.
SignatureHome includes Look Back, Start Over and a whole-home DVR offering, which allows subscribers to watch a show in one room and then pick it up where it was left off in another room.
The SignatureHome DVRs can record up to four HD programs simultaneously and store 150 hours of HD content. A spokeswoman for Time Warner Cable recently said the company was using DVRs and set-top boxes from Samsung, Motorola and Cisco.
On the wireless side of the service, Time Warner Cable will hook up to 14 devices, including TVs, DVRs, computers, printers, stereos, game systems and mobile phones, to the wireless network that it installs.
The service also comes with Caller ID on TV and Caller ID on PC. Time Warner Cable's "VoiceZone" lets subscribers manage their digital home phones from any computer, while another feature sends voicemail to e-mail if a subscriber is away from home.
In today's press release, Time Warner Cable touted its "SignatureService agents, including both Personal Solutions Advisors (PSAs) and Connections Specialists." The PSAs, who can be reached via a dedicated SignatureHome phone line or priority online chat, will field all SignatureHome customer inquiries, work with customers to customize their connectivity needs and schedule a reservation with a Connections Specialist.
The Connection Specialist techs install the services and equipment in customers' homes and insure that there's connectivity between the devices and services.
While Time Warner Cable said SignatureHome was now available nationwide, today's press release said it was "being rolled out nationwide in December in areas that have the capability to launch whole-house DVR."
Since SignatureHome requires DOCSIS 3.0 on the data side and VoiceZone, here's a look at where the service will likely become available this month [3].
Time Warner Cable didn't provide any additional information on the service by deadline this morning.
After a trial run in Charlotte, TWC officially launched its Signature Home service.

On Tuesday, Apple released an updated line of iMacs, featuring quad-core Sandy Bridge Intel processors and Thunderbolt ports. Macworld Lab has all four standard configuration models, and the results for the $1999 27-inch iMac are in. The results do not disappoint, with the new iMac besting the previous generation of standard-configuration iMacs. The new 3.1GHz iMac even bested the performance of some impressively-equipped build-to-order models we've tested previously.
Apple releases Thunderbolt-equipped iMac line (Macworld):
Our overall system performance test suite, Speedmark 6.5, shows the new system to be 16 percent faster than the previous high-end standard configuration iMac, a 27-inch 2.8GHz Core i5 quad-core model with a 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive, and ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics with 1GB of dedicated RAM. (Apple considered the older 27-inch 2.8GHz Core i5 iMac a BTO option, but the online Apple Store didnt treat it like one, so we decided to treat it like a standard configuration model.)
Looks very nice but way too expensive for me.
On Tuesday, Apple announced a new generation of iMac models, running at speeds up to 3.4 GHz and powered by the next generation of Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors. The models also build in support for the new Thunderbolt high-speed peripheral connection interface that debuted in Apples MacBook Pro line earlier this year.
