If this keeps up, Tim Thomas isn't going to be able to play he "underrated and underappreciated" card much longer.
He's now popular world-wide.
The NHL today announced the first round of All-Star Game balloting results, and the Bruins goaltender is leading at his position by a decent margin over Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury. Thomas has 95,681 to Fleury's 88,100.
Thomas' teammate Zdeno Chara is second among defensemen with 110,098 votes. The only Bruins forward in the top 30 is Tyler Seguin, who has accumulated 41,443 write-in votes. But he's more than 60,000 out of the top three.
Thomas is a three-time All-Star, but he has never been voted to the starting lineup. He actually has earned the win in each of his appearances in the midseason classic.

I've been writing all over about my Devilgotchi, I know, but it's very exciting! I have had it since May and only recently had enough spare time to raise it to adulthood. I now have the pumpkin-headed character (kobodebitchi I think) and I have read that characters have special animations. I've read through a few Devilgotchi logs and a few posts here looking to see more about special animations. Do they happen at certain times, and is anything known about which animations happen at which times for which characters? I'd love to get some pictures of it. Thank you, and sorry if there is a post about this somewhere that I missed.

The only place that I know of that mentions the animations is HERE. The events vary based on what stage you're in and what time it is. The most common one I've experienced is the bat coming from Devil World because it can happen any time (usually on the half-hour...not sure if it's every half hour though; it's enough times during the night to make me want to turn off the sound though ) from bedtime to when your Devilgotch wakes up.

Thanks for the link OldSchoolTama! I saw some interesting animations with Bakedebirutchi (he was saying something in Japanese to me?) but I never got a picture. I've also seen the bat from Devil world. I'll keep my eyes open for others for now!

There is a lot written about the bicycle laws and rules but what about the pedestrians? I was taught that for safety you always walk facing traffic.
I live in a neighborhood where there is not a sidewalk on every street and many times I see joggers, walkers, dog walkers and baby carriage pushers going with traffic. It is even more dangerous now with snow on the streets.
Trails and sidewalks are where you keep to the right.

Adventures of Bill: The Real life story of How a Vermont
Bill Becomes a Law
Learn about how a bill becomes a law in Vermont with The
Adventures of Bill. The Adventures of Bill is a comic-like booklet
designed for middle school students that makes learning about Vermont's Legislative process
a whole lot of fun! Students will discover just how many
people it takes to make a bill become a law and see how
they can become involved.
Copies of these booklets are available to schools
and homeschoolers free of charge as part of their curriculum on Vermont history
and civics.

State House Tours page!
How a Bill Becomes
a Vermont Law...
...it all starts
with an idea...an idea which could be yours!
Three Branches of Government
The founders of Vermont, like the
founders of the United States, wanted to ensure that there was
a strong government, but they did not want any one individual
or group to become too powerful. Therefore, in the
Vermont Constitution they established a government with three
separate branches. Each branch of government operates
independently from the others, and its power serves as a check
and balance for the powers of the other branches. This
ensures that no one branch can take too much control.
This is called the "separation of powers."
The three branches of
government are:
- The executive branch administers and enforces the laws
passed by the legislature. The Governor is the head of
the executive branch and oversees the many state agencies that
do the work of the state government.
- The courts interpret the meaning of laws and apply
those laws to specific cases. The court can also
invalidate a law if it finds that it is inconsistent with the
Legislative - The legislature adopts laws. Some
laws establish rules and policies that govern our behavior,
such as criminal laws or environmental laws. Other laws
establish how the government will spend tax money (the budget
bill), and how those taxes will be raised (the tax bill).
Different laws are made every year to respond to the changing
needs of Vermonters.
How Vermont Laws are Made...
Vermont's laws are prepared and
adopted by legislators who are elected every two years by
people in their communities. Vermont's
session runs from January until any time between mid-April and
early June, depending upon when the legislators finish their
Vermont's legislature is
bicameral, meaning that it has two chambers: the
of Representatives and the Senate. A bill can be
introduced in either chamber (except for spending bills which
can only start in the House). In order for it to become
a law, both chambers must pass the bill with a majority of the
vote, and the Governor must sign it or allow the bill to
become a law without signature.
It All Starts With an Idea...
All laws get their start as
someone's idea. An idea begins as a bill, and once it is
approved by the House and the Senate and the Governor, it
becomes a law. An idea for a bill may come from anybody;
however, only legislators can introduce a bill in Vermont's
legislature. There is always a way to get a bill
introduced if enough legislators support it.
Usually resolutions honor
individuals or organizations, or express the opinion of the
legislature on issues before the United States Congress or
other national or international bodies. Resolutions can
be done jointly between the House and Senate, or they can be
made concurrently by each body. Simple resolutions come
from only one of the bodies of the legislature.
Legislators take ideas for laws
and ask the Legislative Council to write them up as bills.
Once they are prepared, bills can be introduced in the House
or the Senate - except for spending ($$$) bills which start in
the House as required by the Vermont Constitution.
The Idea Becomes a Bill...
A legislator or committee of
legislators must officially introduce the bill by becoming the
bill's sponsor. Representatives and Senators who sponsor
bills will try to gain support for them by getting others to
sign on as additional sponsors of the bill.
The title of the bill is read
during a session of the House or Senate. This is called
"first reading" of the bill.
Legislators are members of
legislative committees. Committees address different
areas such as education, agriculture, and transportation,
among others. After a bill is introduced, it is assigned
to a committee by the Speaker of the House or by the
Lieutenant Governor. The
President Pro Tempore of the
Senate assigns the bill to a committee if the Lieutenant
Governor is unavailable.
The Bill
Goes to Committee...
Committees may hold
hearings and
invite members of the public and lobbyists to provide
information and express their opinions on a bill. This
is the only time the public can give testimony on a bill,
although throughout the process members of the public and
lobbyists can talk or write to individual legislators to try
to persuade them to support, reject, or change a bill.
Following testimony and
discussion, the committee will decide what to do with the
bill. The committees
often make changes to the bill which is referred to as
"marking up the bill."
The Bill Leaves
the Committee...
Next, the committee decides what
to do with the bill. It can pass a bill out
unfavorably, or
without any recommendations; or it can
the bill or choose not to discuss a bill (both of which mean
that the bill dies in committee).
Depending upon what the
bill is about, a second committee (or even a third committee)
can ask that the bill be sent to it for discussion and
amendment (or to kill the bill).
The Bill is
Read on the Floor for a 2nd and 3rd Time...
Every bill gets debated and voted on twice by each chamber
of the legislature. After going through the entire
process, the bill (as amended by the committee) is sent to the
floor for second reading, debate, and
third reading.
a bill is reported for the second or third time on the floor
by the reporter of the House or Senate, it is put on the
notice calendar to warn legislators, lobbyists, and the public
when it will be debated and voted upon.
After the second
reading and before the legislators vote on the bill, a
debate may occur. Legislators argue in favor of or
against the bill and they can propose amendments to the bill.
The Speaker or Lieutenant Governor will only allow amendments
that are germane.
Debate, Amend, and Vote on the Bill...
Legislators may ask members of the committee to explain parts
of the bill. Sometimes the House or Senate will
in the middle of a debate on a bill. During the recess
members of the public, lobbyists, and legislators try to
convince other legislators to vote in support of or against
the bill.
When the legislators are satisfied that there has
been sufficient debate, they can call for a vote on the bill.
If the bill is controversial, legislators can call for a
call vote. A non-controversial bill has votes cast by
voice vote (("all in favor say 'aye'").
If the bill passes
second reading and the majority of legislators vote yes on the
bill, it is then put on the notice calendar for third reading
where additional debate may occur. After the third
reading, no amendments can be made to the bill. Then a
final vote is taken on the bill.
If the bill passes, it is
sent by the House Clerk and Secretary of the Senate to the
other chamber of Vermont's legislature. For example,
House bills will be sent to the Senate and Senate bills will
be sent to the House. If the vote is no, then the bill
has been killed.
The Bill
Goes to the Second Chamber...
When a bill
passes the House it is then sent to the Senate, and
vice-versa. In the new chamber it is given first reading
then it is referred to a committee.
The committee can choose
whether they want to work on the bill or ignore it, just like
in the committees of the first chamber. The public,
lobbyists, and legislators are once again given an opportunity
to comment on the proposal. During this time, the
committee can amend or even kill the bill.
Once the
committee has completed its consideration of the bill it can
choose to send it on to the floor for a vote, unless it is
sent to another committee for additional review.
As in the
first chamber, the bill is given second reading and is debated
and perhaps amended. Finally, it is given a third
reading and a final vote by the second chamber.
The Bill Goes
to Conference Committee and is Given a Final
If members of
the House and Senate pass two bills that are exactly the same,
it is sent to the Governor for signature. If the bill
that passed the House is in any way different from the bill
that was passed by the Senate (perhaps because it was amended
by the committee or on the floor) then a
conference committee
is appointed to try to come up with a compromise that members
of both the House and Senate would agree upon.
If the
conference committee comes up with a compromise, the bill is
sent back to the House and the Senate for a final vote.
Individual legislators can vote in favor of or against the
bill or they may abstain from voting. If the bill passes
with a majority of the vote in both chambers, it is sent to
the Governor.
The Bill
Goes to the Governor
When a bill goes to the Governor, the Governor must choose
whether to sign the bill, veto it, or let it become a law
without a signature.
If the Governor vetoes the bill, the
House and the Senate can vote to override the veto. It
takes a vote of 2/3 of the legislators in each chamber to
override a veto. When the Governor signs the bill, it
becomes a law. If the Governor does not sign the bill
and does not veto it within five days after receiving it, it
also becomes a law.
Generally, bills can be introduced only
during the early part of the legislative session. Bills
that are not passed within the two-year legislative session
cannot be carried forward to the next legislative session,
although a legislator can decide to reintroduce a bill.

LOMBARD – After a dreary spring, Glenbard East softball is warming up with the weather.
The Rams won just two of their first 11 games, but picked up back-to-back wins this week to build positive momentum.
East beat West Aurora, 9-3 on Monday and topped Wheaton North, 4-3, in nine innings the next day.
"We're still making errors, but we're getting the hits and we're making up for it," Rams coach Val Pinzker said. "We're putting it together at the plate. We made some changes to the hitting order and we're just playing good right now."
Alyssa Haught was 4-for-4 with four RBIs in the win over West Aurora. Kara Tadda picked up her first win of the season in the circle and was 2-for-4 with three RBIs at the plate.
Carissa Slobodecki was the hero against the Falcons. She singled in Kailey Lyons with two outs in the seventh inning to tie the score at 3-3 and later scored Brittany Plimmer on a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth.
"It feels really good," Slobodecki said. "We have a great team this year. We might not have come off strong, but we're definitely coming on strong at the end here."
Grace Miller earned her third win of the season by pitching nine innings against the Falcons. She overcame six errors by the Rams.
The Rams have a chance to recover from the slow start with a busy schedule ahead.
"I think just playing consistent and playing in warm weather has helped us," Pinzker said. "These next two weeks we play every single day except for Sundays. Now is the time to get hot."

I'm so confused...we have a topwhatever list linebacker and he's going to be semi-buried on the depth chart. What is this wonderful thing? Is this that "dep-th" thing I hear about?

|Jake Ryan
|Previously On MGoBlog
|Hello post from Tim. Ace scouts Cass games versus De La Salle, Cody, and Harrison. Ace interviews him.
|Cass Tech (everyone). Army All-American.
Junior highlights:
Michigan's third Westside Cub in the 2012 class, Royce Jenkins-Stone is also the second consensus four-star linebacker and second Cass Tech kid covered in this series. As a recruit he's a lot different than his Police Athletic League compatriots, though: where both James Ross and Terry Richardson are praised for advanced skillsets and knocked for their size, Jenkins-Stone is an A-level athlete who needs some molding.
Jenkins-Stone's name first started popping up when he was a rising junior hitting the camp circuit all Cass Tech kids hit hard. Barry Every came back with this evaluation($) from the 2010 Columbus NTFC:
Royce Jenkins-Stone, 6-2/216, OLB, Detroit Cass Tech (2012 class)
Has quick feet, long arms and a great frame for adding more muscle mass. … Displayed tremendous lateral movement during the 10-yard boundary drill, basically taking away any chance of a running back just trying to hit the sideline.
CONCLUSION: Detroit Cass Tech has another future star in the making. He has the size and speed to become not only one of the top prospects in Michigan next year, but a national recruit.
That was borne out as Jenkins-Stone went on to a productive, aggressive junior year. He racked up 90 tackles and a handful of sacks as he spearheaded the Technicians' defense. When the recruiting sites started releasing rankings, he was first or second in the state; Rivals had him the only Michigan kid in their top 100. ESPN's evaluation($) was last updated in June of 2011 and serves as a snapshot of where his star was before his senior year:
Has the size and athleticism for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition. This guy is a strong knock'em back tackler who will punish ball carriers when the opportunity presents itself; should be very productive early as a special teams player. … Although we detect some hip tightness we see the flexibility, balance and agility necessary to play in space; does a very good job getting a jump on the ball; is quick to key and read, displaying a tough downhill attacking style vs. inside and edge running plays. Shows the playing strength necessary to shed blockers while moving through traffic; keeps leverage on the ball showing good change of direction skills. … Does a great job with run and pass blitz timing; has the explosive playing strength to beat blockers through gaps and put immediate pressure on the quarterback; is responsible for quite a few sacks and hurries. This guy has very good instincts; plays with the intensity and toughness necessary to create havoc anywhere on the field.
Allen Trieu's assessment is similar, listing aggressiveness, athleticism, and toughness as assets and discipline as a drawback:
Has solid size and good speed and athleticism. An aggressive player who is best when in attack mode and shooting gaps. Good ability in coverage, as he has good ball skills and length. Improved as a junior in reading plays, but can still have a tendency to over run some plays. Often times, he is beating blocks with speed and sheer aggressiveness, so he will have to learn to take on and shed blockers at the college level.
Unfortunately, since then his star has waned a bit. Cass got annihilated in their season opener against Harrison and Jenkins-Stone did not have an impact. Josh Helmholdt($) on that:
With a Rivals100 ranking, more was expected of Jenkins-Stone in his senior season opener, but the 6-2, 215-pound prospect did not disappear completely. He registered a couple tackles for loss and showed off great speed, but got bottled up too often and had trouble picking his way through traffic. Jenkins-Stone moves well in space and when he hits you, you're going down. He made a great play ripping the ball from a Harrison back to force a fumble in the second quarter. The awesome physical tools were still recognizable, but this was certainly not Jenkins-Stone's best performance.
Helmholdt followed that up with some commentary on why Jenkins-Stone dropped like a jenkins-stone in Rivals's postseason rankings revamp:
"As a junior, Jenkins-Stone played an aggressive, downhill style of football player and was all over the field. We saw him live in two and a half games as a senior, though, and he had lost that aggressive style and was playing back on his heels. Jenkins-Stone has also grown very little since we saw him the first time as a sophomore and that raises questions about his ability to add the necessary strength and bulk to play inside in college."
Ace had a more optimistic take about the Harrison game, saying that Harrison mostly ran away from him, but echoed a number of Helmholdt's concerns in a later viewing:
Much like the last time I saw him play, there was a concerted effort by his opponent to run away from him, but I must admit I was still disappointed by his performance overall. RJS has all the physical tools you'd like to see in a BCS-caliber linebacker, but it appeared either his effort or instincts were lacking at times (my, er, instinct is that the latter is more the issue, since RJS appears to be very into the game emotionally at all times)—this is no more apparent than in the third clip from the video, in which he bites hard on an end-around fake and leaves a huge gap for the quarterback to take off up the middle.
This is not to say that I don't think Jenkins-Stone is a good player—when he's aggressive, he does a good job of finding a way to the ball and either making a play or forcing the ballcarrier into the rest of the defense. I like the way he's able to shed blocks to get to where he wants to go, and his athleticism and size combine to be a huge asset, and if anything, he's just got to harness that athleticism and play more under-control.
A later game against De La Salle was better; Ace pointed out that RJS also got 22 carries as a meat-grinding tailback and that Cass Tech's reliance on him on both sides of the ball suggests his motor is excellent. Cass did claim a whopping 145 tackles for him as a senior. I'm a little skeptical of that since his numbers in the three games that were heavily scouted add up to maybe 15 tackles.
After his somewhat disappointing senior year, Jenkins-Stone fell out of top 100s everywhere but retained his guy-we-rank-and-give-four-stars status. ESPN and Scout continued to list him just outside of their top 100s, but ESPN still has a fire-and-forget tendency.
You may note the weird offer list, with huge national names but no Penn State, Notre Dame, or Ohio State. (MSU did offer, but they're going to offer any four-star prospect in the state every year.) That's probably the local powers wanting Cass kids to actually show up on campus before they seriously pursue yet another player headed to Michigan. The recruiting articles on Jenkins-Stone mention a planned Notre Dame trip, but are silent about the result of it—it probably never happened. The powers halfway across the country were tossing the offer out as a way to get interest.
The local heavies hesitancy was well-founded. RJS was the first Cub to commit, taking himself off the market in mid-April($) right after Kaleb Ringer. Like Richardson, he flirted with visits to some of the power offers he picked up but ended up backing off after getting a stern phone call about the consequences of doing so.
At Michigan he'll start out as part of the MLB/WLB battle royale. However, the depth chart suggests someone is moving to the strongside. With Brennen Beyer and Frank Clark poised to duke it out at WDE, Jake Ryan's only backup is actually older than him. Michigan is going to have to slide someone down.
With Joe Bolden looking like the heir apparent at MLB and James Ross too small, the prime candidates are Jenkins-Stone and Ringer… except Ringer is listed at 6'0" most places and is not regarded as a vertical attacking threat in the same way RJS is. Michigan had already moved Beyer when Ringer showed for spring practice and he was still playing on the inside.
If Michigan wants to start grooming a Jake Ryan replacement this fall, RJS is the guy. While most of the sites list him as an inside linebacker, various analysts note the possibility he'll move outside. More Trieu:
He is truly has the physical presence to play inside, and the athleticism to move outside depending upon where Michigan needs him and has the potential to compete early. An aggressive player who is best when in attack mode and shooting gaps.
From both a roster standpoint and a player fit standpoint, that seems like the move. Most of the evaluations above hint that he's better as an athlete who can operate in space instead of a play-reading, traffic-evading inside linebacker. SLB is the land of insane athletes who can terrorize quarterbacks and take on tight ends without having to worry about guards or seam routes, and that sounds like Jenkins-Stone.
Etc.: Fluffy Scout interview. Army nomination article. State title recap. Wants to be a chef. Wilcher:
"They're getting a kid that is athletic," Wilcher said. "A kid that has great hands, catches the ball well. Good feet. Strong and has great speed for the linebacker position. One that can cover backs coming out of the backfield. Michigan runs the same style of defense we run, so I think hell fit right in. He'll know all the calls and all the gaps, and I think he'll adjust quickly."
An old old Webb News article.
Why Jake Ryan? Ryan is an often-irresponsible (but getting better) vertical attacker around 6'2" who has filled out into the 230-240 pound range and spent his high school career terrorizing backfields as a blitzer.
It's not a fantastic fit because the recruiting services missed on Ryan thanks to his late emergence and he played as an OLB in a 3-3-5; RJS was an inside linebacker in a 3-4. It's still pretty good. If you were going to list three assets and a drawback for Ryan you'd be hard-pressed to deviate from Trieu's formulation of RJS above: aggressive, athletic, tough… and a bit undisciplined.
Guru Reliability: Very high. Healthy, heavily scouted, same (or very similar) college position, and an All-Star appearance.
Variance: Moderate. Does need to put on some weight, may end up a bit of a tweener between the inside and outside, and has some boom/bust potential.
Ceiling: High. Seems a notch below the nutso athleticism that would get him a "very high" but easy to see him topping out at an all-conference level.
General Excitement Level: Moderate-plus. A little leery of the senior-year backslide a lot of responsibility on offense may have had something to do with that. Probably needs to make an adjustment to a position he hasn't played before. Doesn't seem as likely to hit his ceiling as Ross or Bolden, but still nice bullet to have in the chamber.
Projection: Jenkins-Stone is the most likely of the four incoming linebackers to redshirt. Bolden and Ringer came in for spring practice and Ross has a reputation as a guy who sees the game ahead of his years. Even if he makes the move to SLB Michigan has two solid options in front of him. Given the evaluations above, burning a redshirt for special teams activity seems highly inadvisable.
After a hypothetical redshirt year, RJS will find the linebacker depth chart largely in place. Only Kenny Demens departs after this year; with everyone else back it'll be tough to fight past Bolden, Morgan, Ryan, Gordon, et al, to find the field. He should get plenty of time on special teams and some garbage time drives. He'll probably find his way onto the two-deep as a redshirt sophomore and will be a prime candidate along with Mike McCray to replace Ryan in three years.
Yes. Michigan has a touted guy they shouldn't have to unearth until he's a redshirt junior. On defense and everything.
Not relative to the other players but from what I would expect a 4 star to look like at that stage. Also don't understand the yelling/screaming vid in after several plays that were fine but nothing special. He's a Alabama-monstrous-OL pancake away from toning that down.
Obviously that waist-up picture with no other object for comparison proves he's not small. If I didn't already know, RJS could be 5'5" or 6'5" in that picture.
What do you mean? He's bigger than a full grown tree...he's huge.
Stone is one of those tough names that would look great on the back of a Michigan jersey along the lines of Gold, Sword, Demens, Girgash, Irons, and Foote
Now we just have to convince him to drop the Jenkins
Or maybe we've been wrong this whole time and his name is really Royce-Jenkins Stone. That would solve the problem.
Don't forget Swett and Steele.
But I don't see Ryan staying more than two more years. We all know that the Big Ten guy who piles up sacks is pretty much garunteed a draft spot... and I could see ryan having that type of season, if not this year than nest.
You make good points concerning RJS looking like a SLB. He seems like a good fit to put on the end and turn loose his athleticism.
I get the feeling he won't redshirt for a couple reasons; Too physically ready to contribute now, seems like a natural for special teams duty from the get-go, and with any type of injury to Ryan or the oft banged up Cam Gordon could put RJS in the two deep.
he's a definite RS candidate because he's raw as hell. Doesn't play with techniques and relied on athleticism. As much as I love seeing Cass Tech pipeline, coaching is lacking and most of them really need to re-learn techniques and disciplines. He is a talent, but would need a couple years of coaching up before seeing time at LB
After seeing Delonte Hollowell,Raymon Taylor, Frank Clark, all very good athletes contribute as a true freshman, I don't have any problem seeing RJS able to contribute similarly
We've got 1,000 linebackers now. At least one or two of them should be able to redshirt; otherwise, it's a waste to have so many on the roster. I don't have a problem with RJS playing if he can help, but then Bolden and/or Ringer and/or Ross should redshirt.
|M. McCray
J. Ryan*
|C. Gordon*
We May have 1000 LB's but only only 2 SLB's on the depth chart. The road to playing time for RJS is not crowded if he indeed moves to SLB. Anyway SLB aside, I think RJS gets turned loose on special teams early on. Maybe not against Bama but at some point in September.
Besides, LB depth is not as great as you contend as you can see by the depth chart. I wouldn't be surprised if all four true frosh LB's play this year
|M. McCray
J. Ryan*
|C. Gordon*
J. Bolden
|M. Jones*
K. Demens*
|B. Gedeon
A. Poole*
|D. Morgan
|B. Hawthorne
You don't need to play 12 linebackers in one season.
Your predilection with redshirts may not be shared by the coaches. Hoke and Mattison are going to play the best players regardless of class. There are only 11 linebackers on the depth chart, so playing 12 isn't an option. As you mentioned 4 are going to be true frosh, leaving only 7 returnees, one of which (Poole) redshirted. So we have 6 returning LB's with playing time and three of them (Gordon, Jones, Hawthorne) were passed up by a true freshman (Morgan) last season, it very well could happen again this season. What seems apparent to me; Hoke and Mattison are not enamored with Jones and Hawthorne, could lead to true frosh again passing them on the depth chart. It would not surprise me if due to injuries and abilities, 3 of the 4 frosh LB's end up on the 2 deep next season. RJS behind Ryan, Bolden behind Demens, and Ross behind Morgan. It will definitely be interesting to watch unfold
Then there are special teams.... all these frosh LB's could conceivably contribute on special teams.
Although I agree with you that if he's ready he'll play, I don't think he'll be ready. As a linebacker, he's not only raw, but he's small. Sometimes true frosh play despite being raw, and sometimes they play despite being undersized, but rarely do we see true frosh play who are raw and undersized. Compound that with a solid depth chart, and I doubt RJS sees the field.
He could be solid on special teams duty, but not better than Jones or Hawthorne or Cam Gordon or a number of other defensive non-starters who wouldn't need to burn a redshirt to play. Remember - technique is important on special teams too, and a guy who is in his second or third year in the program will probably have better tackling form than RJS at this point.
Keeping in mind how much attrition there is in college football these days, I believe in striking while the iron is hot. Talent trumps. If I were a betting man, I would bet RJS plays. Shit, Brennan Beyer got on the field last season, that kid looks like he ought be competing in a 100 Butterfly.
On the flip side, Jake Ryan took a redshirt and he probably should have played. Lord knows M's defense needed Ryan as a true frosh. Kid is a playmaker. Had RR played Jake Ryan as a true frosh he might still be employed in Ann Arbor
Brennen Beyer was reportedly very polished coming out of HS, and he was second string thanks to Cam's injury. And unless RJS puts on about 10lb, he'll be just as thin.
Beyer was needed, plus he was a technically sound frosh. Unless Jake Ryan or Cam get hurt again, RJS will be neither of those.
Regarding Cass Tech players: They coaching must not be as big a detriment as you think. The only one to redshirt was Thomas Gordon, he of the major position switch, from QB to Safety. I guess he had to perfect his "prison abs" before seeing the field
Delonte Hollowell
William Campbell
Teric Jones
Thomas Gordon
Boubacar Cissoko
EDIT: it was Michigan4Life and not WolveinLA who mentioned the coaching at Cass Tech
Yeah, although I agree a bit with Michigan4Life that the Cass Tech guys don't tend to be as polished off the bat, I think it's more a case by case, position by position thing. Of the guys you mention, CBs usually redshirt less than other spots simply because less bulk is needed, and I think we all agree that BWC should have redshirted.
That said, I think the bigger reason those guys didn't redshirt was the lack of depth ahead of them, not their readiness necessarily. If Woolfolk hadn't gotten injured and we had more than one other upperclassman CB, I bet Hollowell wouldn't have seen the field either.

NORTH Albury is on the verge of signing former AFL star Jason Gram.
Hoppers' coach Jason Akermanis told The Border Mail the club was "absolutely" in discussions with the recently sacked St Kilda ace.
Gram, who played 154 AFL matches, visited Bunton Park this week and is in constant contact with the club.
Another former Lion, livewire utility Damian Cupido, also remains on North Albury's recruiting radar.
Akermanis, who spent two years with Gram at Brisbane before Gram moved to St Kilda, said the Hoppers could do "no more" to get the 2008 Michael Tuck medallist on board.
"Absolutely we're speaking with him," Akermanis said. "He came up to check the joint out on Monday.
"He's still speaking to a club in Shepparton, too, and one or two others, I think.
"We've offered what we can offer and now it's up to him.
"He wants to enjoy his footy again and we think he can do that here.
"He'd be a great addition to our midfield, obviously."
Gram, 28, recently had his AFL contract torn up by St Kilda for failing to comply with conditions relating to his behaviour.
Akermanis said he sympathised with the flashy wingman.Gram played in three grand finals with the Saints and was their best player in the 2009 decider against Geelong.
"He's in a similar sort of position to what I was a few years ago," Akermanis said.
"He probably realises he's done at AFL level.
"He wants to get what he can out of the game for the next couple of years and just enjoy his footy."
Cupido, meanwhile, remains a strong chance to return to Bunton Park for a second stint with the Hoppers.
He broke a 27-year-old goal-kicking record in Darwin at the weekend, booting 100 goals in just 13 games with NTFL club Southern Districts.
"Bubba's still in our sights," Akermanis said.
"We're still not sure. He's not locked his mind in yet but obviously he's killing it up there.
"He's still got a lot of good relationships down here and we had a good relationship in Brisbane.
"But, again, until it's done it's not done, is it?"
But the 2001 Brownlow medallist, and three-time premiership star, said it wasn't doom and gloom should the pair not join the Hoppers.
"We've got plenty of talent — and are more than happy with what we have got," Akermanis said.
"We do need another quality midfielder but, who knows?"
Akermanis will take training at Bunton Park tomorrow night.

Excerpted from a researched report by Mary MacKenzie, former Town and Village Historian
The Garden Club of Lake Placid was formed on September 10, 1933 at the home of Mrs. Wilton L. (Edna) Bernstein at Red Gables on Lake Placid. At the organization meeting the following officers were elected: Mrs. Milton L. Bernstein, president; Mrs. George C. Owens, vice-president; Mrs. H.H. Epstein, secretary; and Mrs. Henry Uihlein, treasurer. Mrs. Raymond C. Prime was named membership chairman and Mrs. Louis Hammer, horticultural chairman.
The object of the club was the general improvement of village and lake shore property, and the members planned to concentrate on the improvement of property barren of shrubbery or flowers.
In 1934 the club sponsored a competition among merchants to beautify their business properties on Main Street and awarded prizes.
By 1935 the club was in full swing. At a meeting on July 1, 1935, plans were formulated for annual garden competitions to be sponsored and judged by the Garden Club and were open to all-year residents only. Those employing gardeners were not allowed to compete. For two days in August 1935 the club staged its first annual Flower Show and occupied the main floor of the Olympic Arena. There was a program of entertainment including tap and ballroom dancing and solos by vocal artists. Music was provided by the Stevens House orchestra. There were also numerous classes of competition. $1,000 was netted from the show which was donated to the Lake Placid Hospital.
At the annual meeting on September 23, 1935, Mrs. Bernstein reported the membership had increased over the past year from 50 to 150. In 1936 membership increased again to 199.
In 1937 the club became a member of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State. A third annual Flower Show was staged with proceeds of $915 going to the Lake Placid Hospital. The club also painted the Library in 1937, planted its grounds and installed window boxes and shutters.
In 1938 the gardens of a number of members on Lake Placid were open for inspection during the entire summer. A three-day annual flower show was held at the arena. Two summer houses were provided by Lamb Lumber Co. and local contractor George Bols. The Lake Placid Club had a wild garden about a running stream and an Adirondack lean to. Gross receipts were $1024 and the net proceeds were divided between the Lake Placid Hospital and the Garden Club's fund of civic improvement.
The flower and vegetable garden competitions were again held, and the planning of the Arena grounds was continued. The club had developed since its organization in 1933 into one of the largest and strongest of its kind in the State. There were now 69 contributing and 211 active members.
In 1939 and 1940 the Flower Show was not held because the ice season at the Arena had been extended and there was no extra space. Only the flower and vegetable garden competitions were held. In 1940 Mrs. Luke L. Perkins was made a Ddirector. During the winter of 1940-41 the club filled 28 window boxes to be tended by the children at school.
The gardens of members on Lake Placid were again open for inspection in the summer of 1941, and courses in flower arranging were sponsored. The usual flower and vegetable garden competitions were held. In August of 1941 the annual Flower Show was staged in the Lake Placid Central School gymnasium. There were 88 classes in 21 groups. A miniature fish hatchery was set up by Royal Scott of Morrisonville, consisting of live trout in a pool beside a garden and flower house. There was a display of vases and containers, and flower and garden films were shown. The children's class had 100 exhibits. Started three years before to develop the interest of Lake Placid children in flowers, the class had had a phenomenal growth. $125 of the proceeds were contributed to the purchase of the new Main Street village park on Mirror Lake, and the club planned to spend the balance of the proceeds on landscaping the park. Property owners along Main Street were encouraged to improve the land at the rear of their places by personal visits by club members.
In 1941 the club also made plantings at the Library, and small evergreens purchased by the club from the Conservation Department were planted around the village pumping station and on the Chubb River near the village electrical plant.
Save for the encouragement and judging of Victory vegetable gardens in 1943, the club was inactive completely during the war years of 1943, 1944, and 1945. The club remained completely inactive from 1946 through 1951.
The Garden Club of Lake Placid was reorganized on October 16, 1952 at a meeting held in the town hall. Officers elected were Mrs. Luke L. Perkins, Mrs. H. Lutcher Brown, Mrs. Robert Isham, Mrs. Silas Donvan, and Mrs. Henry Uihlein. Mrs. Kenneth Stevens was named program chairman. Membership dues were $1 for adults, 50 for juniors under 16, and $5 for associate memberships.
Beginning in 1953 membership was reported at 110. Meetings were held all year round and the opening and showing of gardens at Lake Placid camps was renewed. The club replanted the Library yard which had been ripped up for building operations, and also planted shrubs in the rear. An informal Flower Show was held in August at the Signal Hill Club, limited to arrangement classes.
The Garden Club of Lake Placid is highly active today and sponsors the annual Village Clean Up Day held in April.
At the Lake Placid Public Library, TheBackyard Composting Interpretive Site was built in 2007 as a joint venture of the LPPL, Cornell Cooperative Extension Essex County Master Gardener Volunteers and the Lake Placid Garden Club. The compost bins are used for all of the library garden and yard trimmings and are a teaching site for lake friendly gardening practices. The library staff, visitors and local restaurants also add to the compost. Interpretive signs are above each bin explaining the composting process.
The LP-NEHS History Museum opens Memorial Day weekend with a new photographic exhibit based on the Stedman and Moses (formerly Barry) Collection of glass plate negatives. Please look for information on our opening reception and corresponding lecture series!

Just checked out the Amity Institute offering on the Jobs Offered Forum on Dave's .Seems their "teacher exchange" program , something called AVTA charges an "assignment fee" (oh brother!) ranging between $500 and $!000 depending on the place of assignment.The"volunteer" also pays his or her own health insurance and airfare. Is something wrong here? Who would go for something like this?After all,you can try the Peace Corps,VOS,or a few others...and you can be a volunteer for free...and they will even give YOU some pay and benefits(some.not much) instead of CHARGING you.I mean,it is bad enough working for free,but paying someone for the privilege of letting you work free?AH...I don't know about that one.I am sure they have some set altruistic answer.Also,I bet they have administrative staff who are not working for free. If you are really in the mood(and can afford ) to volunteer your services,I suggest you steer clear of the people who charge a fee for the "privilege" of volunteering. Reminds me a little of the CETP(Central European Teachers Program)out of \Beloit,Wisconsin that was charging $3000 fee to their "volunteers".

They always catch some impressionable green folks, and I say, why not? SO long as it is members of the backpacker brigade... they can at least learn a few things while accepting an assignment from such an outfit, and seasoned by these experiences they might be ready to join us as experienced ones. Back to top Guest Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2003 8:41 am Post subject: I too was shocked at just how much it costs to be a volunteer. Many organisations justify the fee by including accommodation, food, training, admin, sometimes flights, but it still seems so steep. There are clearly many people with enough money to take part (though I guess they are mostly gap year students with parental funding, wealthy pensioners or career minded people with enough savings to take a year out), but it seems a shame many people willing to offer their services for free are excluded, because they can't pay their way. It may be possible to get sponsorship, though I'm a bit clueless as to how you'd go about it. If you're attached to a church they may be able to fix you up and fund you. IMHO VSO (or the Peace Corps if you're from the US) is the best deal. With VSO flights are paid, accommodation is paid, a small allowance to live on and they even pay national insurance contributions. All they ask for in return is a degree, a CELTA, a year of experience and a two year commitment. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any first hand experierience either with VSO or a "pay to volunteer" scheme.

So many of us on this forum have great respect for your opinions, being as you are a "veteran" in China. Not all ESL teachers take their jobs seroiously, as do neither many of the schools who see ESL as a "business first" situation. However, I must say, some of the worlds brightest, most energetic, talented, enlightened and open-minded people are....... yes, young back-packers. I have met all too many "over thirty something" ESL teachers who would never be able to hold down jobs in their own countries due to alcoholism. Showing up drunk and perhaps not showing up at all. And yes, young people have lots to learn along the way, as do we older types.I hope I never stop learning. I do hope you see my point. I will retire to the balcony now and have a glass of Huadong red as you recommended it in an earlier post.

I saw this sad truth in Laos and Camobodia, were the Organizers earned very high Salaries, whilst local and Volunteer Staff earned a pittance. Many of my friends worked for these Organizations, and advised friends back home, not to come or give "donations" to Official Organizations. I would love to help people, who really need to better their lives under disadvantageous situations. But not through any of these corrupt, money oriantated or religious based Organizations, claiming to "help Humanity." In reality, they are scamming people, and earning a fast buck. Back to top David BowlesJoined: 30 Jan 2003Posts: 249 Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:49 am Post subject: The dodgy side comes, I think, not from charging the 'volunteer' but in where the work goes. I can understand admin costs etc, if the organisation doesn't have enough corporate backing/government funding, and I've seen quite a lot of teaching and other projects where the volunteers raise money for their own project. The problem is, as far as I can see, that a lot of the teaching posts don't match the philanthropic rhetoric. The schools that get 'volunteer' teachers are often the richest in their area, with the most privileged students. Partly this is because of a paradox in the whole idea- volunteers go out to help in areas where living conditions are poor, but to get volunteers at all many companies have to offer decent conditions. Partly, I assume, it's because the richest school are usually the most 'visible' and accessible. And in some cases, it might well be because a little money changes hands behind the volunteer's back. On the upside, I'm sure there are genuinely useful volunteering opportunities and I have no problem with the idea of raising money for these.

As I suggested in a post some time ago, I think many people who for various reasons do not "fit in" in their own countries, find other cultures much more forgiving . Or else, they will put up with some of our shortcomings because as we know, English teachers are a valuable resource .

Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium of drying oil — especially in early modern Europe, linseed oil. Often an oil such as linseed was boiled with a resin such as pine resin or even frankincense; these were called 'varnishes' and were prized for their body and gloss. Other oils occasionally used include poppy seed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. These oils confer various properties to the oil paint, such as less yellowing or different drying times. Certain differences are also visible in the sheen of the paints depending on the oil. Painters often use different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. The paints themselves also develop a particular feel depending on the medium.Oil paint was first used, as current knowledge shows, in western Afghanistan sometime between the 5th and 9th Centuries. From there its practice likely migrated westward until, when in the Middle Ages, (Theophilus mentions oil media in the 12th Century) it came into use, although not widespread, in Europe. It later became the principal medium used for creating artworks; the transition beginning during the 15th century with Early Netherlandish painting in northern Europe. By the height of the Renaissance oil painting techniques had almost completely replaced tempera paints in the majority of Europe. (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_painting)

Many firms in developing countries are informal, that is they operate without registering with the government. For example, in a labor market survey of Mexico, nearly 50 percent of business owners report that their firm is not registered with the authorities.
Different explanations have been put forth to explain why firms operate informally. One view, associated with De Soto (1989), is that informal business owners are viable entrepreneurs who are being held back from registering their firm due to complex regulations. Another view, expressed for example by Tokman (1992), sees informal business owners as individuals who are trying to make a living while they search for a wage job.
I used to be partial to the De Soto view. However, a few years ago, I wrote a paper on the impact of a business registration reform in Mexico (Bruhn, 2008), expecting that I would find that the reform led informal business owners to register their business. Surprisingly, this is not what I found. The reform had positive effects, creating more registered businesses and employment, but these businesses came from wage earners setting up new businesses, and not from informal business owners registering.
Ever since, this finding has bothered me. Over the following years, new research emerged arguing that informal business owners are heterogeneous and that both the De Soto and Tokman views may be correct, depending on which groups of entrepreneurs are under consideration. In particular, De Mel, McKenzie, and Woodruff (2010) find that 70 percent of self-employed microenterprise owners in Sri Lanka have personal characteristics similar to wage workers, while the other 30 percent have characteristics similar to owners of larger firms. These 30 percent are the ones who might be held back by regulation (as argued by De Soto), while the other 70 percent may be looking for a job (as argued by Tokman). In order to make this classification, De Mel, McKenzie, and Woodruff use discriminant analysis, a tool usually used by biologists to separate animals or plants into species on the basis of easily measured characteristics.
This paper gave me the idea of applying discriminant analysis to the sample of informal business owners I studied in my research on the registration reform in Mexico to help me isolate the business owners that would be most likely to register after the reform. In practice, this works as follows. I first take only individuals who are either wage earners or formal business owners and compare their background characteristics, such as gender, age, marital status, and education. Based on this comparison, I compute a set of weights on the characteristics that allows me to predict whether a person is a wage earner or formal business owner. I then take these weights and apply them to the same background characteristics in the sample of informal business owners. This allows me to separate informal business owners into the ones who are similar to wage earners and those who are like formal business owners. The results of this analysis are summarized in a new working paper (Bruhn, 2012) and show that about 50 percent of informal business owners in my sample from Mexico fall into each group.
I then examine the effect of the business registration reform on the registration decisions of these two separate groups of informal business owners. It was a relief to me when I found that informal business owners who have characteristics like formal business owner were indeed more likely to register after the reform, consistent with my original expectations about the impact of reform. In contrast, business owners who have characteristics like wage earners became less likely to register after the reform . This explains why my earlier paper did not find an effect on registrations when looking at all informal business owners. The next question then is why are informal business owners with characteristics like wage earners less likely to register after the reform? The answer is that they are more likely to become wage earners instead. My previous paper showed that the reform increased employment, which apparently helped these informal business owners find a job. So, overall, the reform seems to have led to a more efficient allocation of individuals into occupations, providing additional evidence of the benefits of business entry reforms. On top of that, the findings also confirm the argument that informal business owners are a mix of De Soto and Tokman types.

I really enjoyed your concise
Re: I really enjoyed your concise new
very interesting discussion - informel versus formel
Very intriguing observation.
Very intriguing observation. for many years now i always had had a suspicion that our leader economic players (be it government or corporate)carry a ignorant view about the informal sector actually at worst the attitude is dismissive. It is time that, particularly in a developing country like ours, the informal sector and its players be better understood in order to achieve the economic objectives the country sets itself particularly on job creation. It is clear from your observations that this sector if well nurtured and understanding the drivers behind existence of this sector will ensure the success of the interventions in the challenge of job creation.

Lots of the names are the same around the Big Ten.
When it comes to quarterbacks, Nebraska's Taylor Martinez and Illinois' Nathan Scheelhaase are going into their fourth seasons as starters, Ohio State's Braxton Miller is entering his third and Northwestern's Kain Colter is heading into year three as a full- or part-time starter.
Eight teams return at least 16 starters. But Indiana, Wisconsin and Penn State are yet to name starting quarterbacks.
There are newcomers at other positions who could become well-known names by season's end.

Glenn Murray scored twice against his former club as Crystal Palace capitalised on the early sending-off of Brighton's Lewis Dunk to return to the top of the npower Championship table with a 3-0 win at Selhurst Park.
Dunk was dismissed after only seven minutes for a foul on Palace's Wilfried Zaha and although Owen Garvan hit the bar from the resulting free-kick, the Eagles quickly assumed control.
Murray headed home a Yannick Bolasie corner on 37 minutes and added his second from the penalty spot after 54 minutes. Garvan added the third for Palace - also from the spot - after Murray was fouled by Gordon Greer.

To the Editor:
The cry still resonates in our Illinois, "we are ill-served," still. The latest example we have in Washington D.C., is Congressman Peter Roskam.
We elect time and again the same mopes who do the bidding of others, who claim and promise everything.
Rep. Roskam will not permit phone calls to his offices by his constituents. Why? Perhaps a fear grips a person that it leaves them cold.
Our elected representatives work for us. Why do they, including Roskam, forget who they work for? Sen. Dick Durbin still is a lackey of the Obama administration, as is Sen. Mark Kirk.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Investors will get smothered by a stream of economic smoke signals this week, starting with demand for big-ticket U.S.-made goods and ending with the key January jobs report.
Tucked in between is fourth-quarter GDP — how fast the U.S. economy grew in the last three months of 2012. And throw in the Federal Reserve's first big meeting of the year.
"Brace for a Super Bowl of economic data," in the words of Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank.

|Consumer sentiment
What all these things won't tell us, however, is precisely how consumers reacted to an increase in their taxes in 2013. Wall Street will have to wait until mid-February to get a clearer idea, and it's critical. Consumer spending accounts for as much as 70% of the U.S. economy. If they aren't spending, businesses aren't hiring.
"Most consumers didn't expect their taxes to go up," said Jim Baird, chief investment strategist at Plante Moran Financial Advisors in Michigan. "There's no question its going to have a negative impact on spending. It's going to be a drag."
Some clues might emerge in a pair of reports on consumer confidence, though. They'll give an early-bird warning on changes in people's behavior.
The big ticket
Orders for durable goods — products like aircraft or appliances meant to last at least three years — probably saw a big bump in December.
The reason: Boeing BA, +0.30% The jetmaker garnered more than 180 orders for planes in the last month of the year. Airline orders can have an exaggerated effect on the durables data because of the huge pricetag on new planes.
If transportation is stripped out, demand for durable goods was softer though still pretty good. Which means the U.S. industrial sector ended the year in solid but not great shape.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Orders for durable goods is not a sexy category, but it's a critical component of U.S. growth. Rising sales of autos, planes, computers, furniture and the like signals an improving economy.
The durable figures comes out Monday. A related report later in the week will also shine a light on manufacturers, but no one is expecting the picture to brighten. The Institute for Supply Management's index for January is forecast to hold steady near the 50% mark.
That means manufacturers are growing — barely.
Fourth-quarter scorecard
On Wednesday, the government is expected to report that the U.S. expanded at a 1.0% pace in the final three months of 2012, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
While that would be a lot softer than 3.1% growth in the third quarter, the details of the latest GDP report could actually show more muscle. The third quarter got a boost from a lower trade deficit, a spike in military spending and an unexpected inventory buildup — companies made more stuff than they could sell.
By contrast, consumers and businesses probably increased their appetite for a variety of goods and services in the fourth quarter, but the gain in spending could be largely offset by falling inventories. Lower inventories subtract from GDP.
Setting aside inventories and foreign demand, the firm Capital Economics suggests that domestic purchases might have hit a two-year peak.
"That would be a remarkable performance given that Sandy hit at the start of the quarter and the uncertainty surrounding the fiscal-cliff negotiations dominated the closing weeks of last year," economists Paul Ashworth and Paul Dales wrote in a report.
First look at jobs in 2013
The employment report for January, released Friday, is the capstone on a loaded calendar. In the first month of the new year, the economy likely added a net 168,000 jobs, the MarketWatch survey says.
Unemployment is forecast to hold steady at 7.8% — well above the Fed's 6.5% goal. The central bank plans to continue to pump money into the economy until the jobless rate falls. No change in policy is expected after its meeting.
The level of U.S. hiring each month has been stuck around the 150,000 mark since the beginning of 2011, the by-product of a slowly expanding economy.
Hiring is a classic chicken-and-egg scenario. Companies won't hire any faster until growth accelerates, but growth won't speed up unless a lot more jobs are created.
One thing to keep in mind are recent patterns. The U.S. had seen a burst of hiring from October through April in each of the past three years, followed by a spring slump.
The next few monthly reports on hiring should be treated with some caution if there are surprisingly big gains. It might reflect a legitimate uptick in hiring — or the difficulty government economists face in adjusting for seasonal variations.
"There is no question that has played a role," Baird said. "You have to question whether seasonal adjustments are occasionally making the numbers look artificially better than they should."
Still, most economists believe job creation should continue to track in the 150,000-plus range based on the current pace of U.S. growth.
There's even a chance that net hiring could top 200,000 in January, helped by a New Year's day deal in Washington to avert a budget crisis and ease the worries of businesses and consumers.
"Confidence is a great stimulus," noted Richard Moody, chief economist of Regions Financial Corp.

Seven months after tearing his Achilles' tendon, Kobe Bryant returned to practice Saturday for the Los Angeles Lakers, and apparently he already has made a positive impact with his teammates on the court.
Jodie Meeks said Bryant's return to practice provided an immediate boost to the team's psyche on the floor. Very positive day in El Sugundo.— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) November 16, 2013
Pau Gasol on Kobe at practice: "He looked good, & did a few moves I didn't expect him to do right away. I'm very happy for him & for us."— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) November 16, 2013
Xavier Henry on Kobe's practice: "He was out there making shots, basically being himself, just at a slower pace."— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) November 16, 2013
Given the type of injury Bryant suffered, his comeback has been nothing short of astounding. Throughout the rehab process, Bryant has been confident his recovery was moving along ahead of schedule. In recent weeks, he has been doing extensive drills in preparation for rejoining his teammates.
Bryant's presence was felt on Day 1, according to Lakers guard Jordan Farmar.
"That's a guy whose presence you can't replace," Farmar told the L.A. Daily News. "He got out there today and changed the tone on his first day back with us. It's exciting to see. I'm looking forward to having him there. It'll benefit everybody."

When the 35 year-old shooting guard will return to the starting lineup, however, will be dependent on how he handles full contact drills over the coming weeks.
The 4-7 Lakers have struggled without Bryant so far. If they are going to turn things around, they need their franchise player back as soon as possible.

Threading recursive routines is difficult. My usual process is to break the routine into two parts; one which starts threads and the other that does simple recursion within those threads. Your routine wasn't written with that in mind, so the result is that the simplest refactoring is to duplicate the subroutine like this:
