Unit 1: Anthropological Perspectives
Unit Overview
1. Queer Customs, Clyde Kluckhohn, from Mirror for Man, University of California 1994
Intrinsic to anthropologists' efforts to understand humans is the concept of culture, which involves not simply explanations for people's particular ways of life, but an appreciation of the general fact that human beings do not simply act out of biological necessity, but behave according to the precepts and customs which they have been taught. In this classic article, Clyde Kluckhohn sets forth such notions as "cultures produce needs as well as provides a means of fulfilling them" and "not all culture promotes physical survival . . . at times, indeed, it does exactly the opposite." In other words, for Kluckhohn, and for anthropologists in general, biology is not destiny.
2. Ethnographic Empathy and the Social Context: Rescuing Maasai Gilrs From Early Marriages, Caroline S. Archambault, American Anthropologist, December 2011
Child marriage among the conservative, pastoral Maasai has been portrayed as a relic of tradition and malicious patriarchy. The importance of the ethnographic perspective is emphasized, however, in the way the author shows the recent downward shift in the age of marriage is actually a response to cultural change, increasing poverty and marginalization.
3. Eating Christmas in the Kalahari, Richard Borshay Lee, Natural History, December 1969
Anthropologist Richard Borshay Lee gives an account of the misunderstanding and confusion that often accompany cross-cultural experience. In this case, he violated a basic principle of the !Kung Bushmen's social relations—food sharing.
4. Tricking and Tripping: Fieldwork on Prostitution in the Era of AIDS, Claire E. Sterk, Tricking and Tripping: Prostitution in the Era of AIDS, Social Change Press, 2000
As unique as Claire E. Sterk's report on prostitution may be, she discusses issues common to anthropologists wherever they conduct fieldwork: How does one build trusting relationships with informants and what are the ethical obligations of an anthropologist toward them?
5. The September 11 Effect on Anthropology, Lara Deeb and Jessica Wingar, Middle East Report, Winter 2011
The September 11, 2001 attacks have had a considerable effect on anthropological research in the Middle East and beyond. Along with the fact that job opportunities have increased in some areas and diminished in others, anthropologists have become increasingly concerned about the politics of funding and the ethics of particular kinds of projects offered. In general, pressures are mounting with respect to scholars' ability to maintain academic freedom and, perhaps, even tenure. itself
Unit 2: Culture and Communication
Unit Overview
6. How Language Shapes Thought, Lera Boroditsky, Scientific American, February 2011
As the author observes, each language contains a way of perceiving, categorizing, and making meaning In the world, an invaluable guidebook developed and honed by our ancestors. But, do differences in language create differences in thought or is it the other way around? The answer, says the author, is both.
7. Famous Names: The World of Business, John Colapinto, The New Yorker, October 3, 2011, p. 38
What is in a name? Contrary to the Shakespearean claim that a rose would smell as sweet by any other name, corporations are finding that name brands are important to sales. Billions of dollars are at stake as they employ ad agencies and linguists to make sure that you feel their product is just right for you.
8. Fighting for Our Lives, Deborah Tannen, The Argument Culture, Random House, 1998
In America today, a pervasive warlike tone seems to prevail in public dialogue. The prevailing belief is that there are only two sides to an issue and opposition leads to truth. Often, however, an issue is more like a crystal, with many sides, and the truth is in the complex middle, not in the oversimplified extremes.
9. Shakespeare in the Bush, Laura Bohannan, Natural History, August/September 1966
It is often claimed that great literature has cross-cultural significance. In this article, Laura Bohannan describes the difficulties she encountered and the lessons she learned as she attempted to relate the story of Hamlet to the Tiv of West Africa in their own language.
Unit 3: The Organization of Society and Culture
Unit Overview
10. Breastfeeding and Culture by Kathryn Dettwyler from Reflections on Anthropology: A Four-Field Reader, McGraw-Hill 2003
Whether or not a mother breastfeeds her child, and for how long, is influenced by cultural beliefs and societal restraints. Scientific research, including cross-cultural studies, show that nursing is not just beneficial for the child, but improves the health of the mother, makes for more wholesome familial relationships and is good for the society as a whole.
11. When Cousins Do More Than Kiss by Anthony Layng, USA Today Magazine, September 2009
Given the variability of incest taboos, cross-culturally, it is very unlikely that humans have some sort of instinct against inbreeding or that genetic closeness is the major concern. The more\likely explanation is that requiring young people to find mates outside their group fostered cooperation and exchange of food between hunting and gathering bands.
12. The Inuit Paradox, Patricia Gadsby, Discover, October 2004
The traditional diet of the Far North, with its high-protein, high-fat content, shows that there are no essential foods—only essential nutrients.
13. Ties That Bind, Peter M. Whiteley, Natural History, November 2004
The Hopi people offer gifts in a much broader range of circumstances than people in Western Cultures do, tying individuals and groups to each other and to the realm of the spirits.
14. Cell Phones, Sharing, and Social Status in an African Society, Daniel Jordan Smith, Canadian Journal of African Studies, 40(3): 496–523, 2006
Although the economic dimensions of Nigeria's emerging cell phone culture are important, much of its cell phone-related behavior requires a social rather than an economic explanation.
Unit 4: Other Families, Other Ways
Unit Overview
15. The Invention of Marriage, Stephanie Coontz, from Marriage, A History, Viking 2005, Chapter 3
As social institutions, marriage and the family have taken on a variety of forms throughout the human past. Contrary to sweeping generalities, however, such as the patriarchal "protective theory" and the feminist "oppressive theory," each of which emphasized female dependence and subjugation to men, the archaeological, historical and anthropological evidence indicates that the way people organize their domestic lives has much more to do with the needs and contingencies of time and place.
16. When Brothers Share a Wife: Among Tibetans, the Good Life Relegates Many Women to Spinsterhood, Melvyn C. Goldstein, Natural History, March 1987 (Updated 2011)
While the custom of fraternal polyandry relegated many Tibetan women to spinsterhood, this unusual marriage form promoted personal security and economic well-being for its participants.
17. Death without Weeping, Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Natural History, October 1989 (Updated 2011)
In the Shantytowns of Brazil, the seeming indifference of mothers who allow some of their children to die is a survival strategy, geared to circumstances in which only some may live.
18. Arranging a Marriage in India, Serena Nanda, Stumbling Toward Truth: Anthropologists at Work, Waveland Press, 2000
Arranging a marriage in India is far too serious a business for the young and inexperienced. Instead, the parents make the decision on the basis of the families' social position, reputation, and ability to get along.
19. Who Needs Love!: In Japan, Many Couples Don't, Nicholas D. Kristof, The New York Times, February 11, 1996
Paradoxically, Japanese families seem to survive, not because husbands and wives love each other more than American couples do, but rather because they perhaps love each other less. And as love marriages increase, with the compatibility factor becoming more important in the decision to marry, the divorce rate is rising.
20. The New Monogamy: Forward to the Past, Helen Fisher, The Futurist, November-December 2010
While women strive toward equality in the workplace and become less involved in child-rearing at home, a profound change is occurring. As the author looks "forward to the past," she sees a return to the kind of domestic life that existed more than 10,000 years ago—the rise of what sociologists call the "companionate," "symmetrical," or "peer marriage": marriage between equals.
Unit 5: Gender and Status
Unit Overview
21. The Berdache Tradition, Walter L. Williams, The Spirit and the Flesh, (Beacon Press, 1986, 1992)
Not all societies agree with the Western cultural view that all humans are either women or men. In fact, many Native American cultures recognize an alternative role called the "berdache," a morphological male who has a non-masculine character. This is just one way for a society to recognize and assimilate some atypical individuals without imposing a change on them or stigmatizing them as deviants.
22. The Hijras: An Alternative Gender in India, Serena Nanda, Adapted from an article in Manushi, vol. 72, 1992.
The transgender hijra of India form structured households and communities and, as a caste, fulfill roles that are rooted in social and religious tradition. As Serena Nanda notes, cross-cultural understandings such as this represent a challenge to the binary sex/gender notions of the West.
23. Where Fat Is a Mark of Beauty, Ann M. Simmons, Los Angeles Times, September 30, 1998
In a rite of passage, some Nigerian girls spend months gaining weight and learning customs in a "fattening room." A woman's rotundity is seen as a sign of good health, prosperity, and feminine beauty.
24. Missing Girls, Michelle Goldberg, from The Means of Reproduction, Penguin, 2009
Motivated by economic need and runaway consumerism and fueled by modern technology, such as ultrasound, sex selection in favor of sons has become a tool for limiting population in much of Asia. The resulting imbalance in the sex ratio threatens to impede women's rights, destabilize entire regions, and prevent men from marrying at all.
25. The Bride, Mara Hvistendahl, from Unnatural Selection, PublicAffairs, 2011
In some East Asian societies, decades of sex selective abortion has resulted in many more males than females, an increasing difficulty for men in their pursuit of brides and a continuing subjugation of women. But the ultimate irony may be that the ongoing preference for sons among the well-off may result in a preference for daughters among the poor.
26. Rising Number of Dowry Deaths in India, Amanda Hitchcock, International Committee of the Fourth International, July 4, 2001
Traditionally, a dowry in India allowed a woman to become a member of her husband's family with her own wealth. However, with the development of a cash economy, increased consumerism, and a status-striving society, heightened demands for dowry and the inability of many brides' families to meet such demands have led to thousands of deaths each year.
27. Murder in Amman, Rana Husseini, from Murder in the Name of Honour, Oneworld Publications, 2009
As journalist Rana Husseini seeks to understand the "honor killing" of young women in Jordanian society, she finds that, to a lesser extent, the victims include the family and even the murderer.
28. The Untold Story of the Amputees, Carolyn Nordstrom, Global Outlaws, 2007
This is an account of women who, in spite of having been maimed by war, have taken control over their lives by creating a self-run banking system and by infiltrating the "informal economy" of Angola, in southwest Africa. As the "invisible center of gravity" of society, these women are keeping their families and their economy from falling apart.
Unit 6: Religion, Belief, and Ritual
Unit Overview
29. Shamanisms: Past and Present, David Kozak, Religion and Culture, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2008
This article explains how few generalizations about shamanism do justice to the varying social contexts and individual cultural histories of the shamans, and discusses the past perceptual biases on the part of ethnographic observers.
30. The Adaptive Value of Religious Ritual, Richard Sosis, American Scientist, March/April 2004
Rituals promote group cohesion by requiring members to engage in behavior that is too costly to fake. Groups that do so are more likely to attain their collective goals than the groups whose members are less committed.
31. Understanding Islam, Kenneth Jost, CQ Researcher, November 3, 2005
As the world's second largest religion after Christianity, Islam teaches piety, virtue, and tolerance. Yet, with the emphasis of some Islamists on a strong relationship between religion and state, and with an increasing number of Islamic militants calling for violence against the West, communication and mutual understanding are becoming more important than ever.
32. The Secrets of Haiti's Living Dead, Gino Del Guercio, Harvard Magazine, January/February 1986
In seeking scientific documentation of the existence of zombies, anthropologist Wade Davis found himself looking beyond the stereotypes and mysteries of voodoo, and directly into a cohesive system of social control in rural Haiti.
33. Body Ritual among the Nacirema, Horace Miner, American Anthropologist, June 1956
The rituals, beliefs, and taboos of the Nacirema provide us with a test case of the objectivity of ethnographic description and show us the extremes to which human behavior can go.
Unit 7: Sociocultural Change
Unit Overview
34. Why Can't People Feed Themselves? , Frances Moore Lappé and Joseph Collins, Food First: Beyond the Myth of Scarcity, Random House, 1977 (Updated 2011)
When colonial governments force the conversion of subsistence farms to cash crop plantations, peasants are driven into marginal lands or into a large pool of cheap labor. In either case, the authors maintain their stand that the farmers are no longer able to feed themselves.
35. The Arrow of Disease, Jared Diamond, Discover, October 1992
The most deadly weapon colonial Europeans carried to other continents was their germs. The most intriguing question to be answered here is, why did the flow of disease not move in the opposite direction?
36. The Americanization of Mental Illness, Ethan Watters, The New York Times, January 8, 2010
According to some anthropologists and cross-cultural psychiatrists, mental illness has varied in time and place much more than previously thought. American-led globalization, however, is undermining local conceptions of self and modes of healing and, says Watters, is "homogenizing the way the world goes mad."
37. The Price of Progress, John Bodley, Victims of Progress, Mayfield Publishing, 1998
As traditional cultures are sacrificed in the process of modernization, tribal peoples not only lose the security, autonomy, and quality of life they once had, but they also become powerless, second-class citizens who are discriminated against and exploited by the dominant society.
38. Last of Their Kind, Wade Davis, Scientific American, September 2010
Within the next generation, we may eliminate half of the world's several thousand existing cultures. This represents an enormous loss if one values the languages and the diversity of adaptations they represent. There are so many lessons they have yet to teach us about coping with our own future.
39. The Tractor Invasion, Laura Graham, Cultural Survival Quarterly, Summer 2009
The Brazilian Cerrado is one of the world's most biologically diverse tropical Savanna regions. Its indigenous people are struggling to survive the onslaught of agribusiness, deforestation, environmental pollution, and exotic diseases. What legal rights they have to the land are being trampled and their cries for help are largely ignored.
40. We Are Going Underwater, Susan A. Crate, Natural History, May 2011
The first and most detectable effects of global climate change are being felt In environmentally sensitive regions and are having a very noticeable impact upon the ways of life of indigenous people such as the Sakha of Siberia. If we do not respond to the problem soon, these trends will have a devastating effect upon them—and us.
41. Being Indigenous in the 21st Century, Wilma Mankiller, Cultural Survival Quarterly, Spring 2009
With a shared sense of history and a growing set of tools, the world's indigenous peoples are moving into a future of their own making without losing sight of who they are and where they come from.
42. Population Seven Billion, Robert Kunzig, National Geographic, January 2011
With the world's population rising by several billion from the current seven billion, inevitable questions arise as to how this will impact the quality of life as well as the condition of Planet Earth.

Men's Individual Results

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The UC Santa Barbara men's cross country team had to face a big challenge on Saturday at the 2007 Pre-Nationals, as they were up against 13 nationally-ranked teams in the men's 8k White Race. The results were mixed for the Gauchos, as the team finished in 24th place with 611 points.
Men's cross country assistant coach Avery Blackwell was well aware of what his team was up against in the race, and was hoping for a stronger performance from his squad.
"The competition was tough, but we also finished behind some of the teams in the west region, which is disappointing," said Blackwell. "We'll definitely be looking to improve our times and run a much better race next time out."
Mike Powers was the top finisher for the Gauchos, running the 8k course in 24:17 to place 73rd. Micah Tyhurst and Julian DeRubira were next, with times of 24:32 (104th) and 24:42 (121st) respectively.
The conditions were perfect for racing in Indiana, which resulted in a number of records being set. Liberty University's Josh McDougal found himself in the unique position of losing and re-breaking the course record on the same day. After Lopez Lamong of Northern Arizona ran a 23:02 in the Blue Race to eclipse McDougal's previous course record of 23:12, McDougal would go on to finish 1st in the White Race later in the day with a time of 22:56.
UTEP were the winners of the White Race, with a team point total of 129. Colorado was 2nd, with North Carolina State rounding out the top 3. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo also had a notable result, finishing 10th with 328 points.
Also competing for UCSB were Scott Smith (148th, 24:57), Tim Aukshunas (211th, 25:37), Spencer Rotan (165th, 25:07), and Erik Aardal (246th, 26:23).
The Gauchos return to action on Friday, Oct. 19 at the Titan Invitational in Fullerton, Calif. The meet will be hosted by Cal State Fullerton, and the men's 8k is scheduled to start at 5:00 P.M.

More Women Face Mental Illness
You may pay more attention to your physical health than how you feel mentally. Like any physical ailment, though, conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse can tax your body. More than 45 million Americans struggle with a mental health problem, and many of them are women. Knowing more about mental illness, including the warning signs, can help keep your body - and mind - healthy.
Women and mental illness
A mental illness is any disorder that affects a person mentally, behaviorally, or emotionally. Such an illness can strike anyone. But more women than men tend to suffer from mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety-related conditions. In fact, the latest national survey on mental health found that 23 percent of women reported having a mental illness, compared with 15.9 percent of men. People ages 18 to 25 were especially prone.
Why are more women diagnosed with mental illness? The reason for this gender gap is complex. Many factors, such as genetics and environment, play a role. For instance, with depression, the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy and menopause can affect the portions of the brain that control mood and emotion.
The answer certainly goes beyond biology, though. Women are more often victims of violence. They also tend to be poor and have a lower social status. Such societal factors can increase a person's risk for mental illness. In addition, women are more likely than men to seek professional help for a mental health problem.
Signs of mental illness
Although more women than men ask for help with a mental illness, many more women avoid mentioning the problem. Some may even suffer for years before seeking help. Many mental illnesses are treatable. To start feeling better, though, you need to speak up first.
Talk with your doctor right away if you or a loved one is experiencing several of the following symptoms for more than two weeks, especially if they interfere with work or school. They may indicate a mental illness:
Think you or a loved one may be suffering from a mental illness? Don't despair. Read this article to learn more about finding the help you need.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.

Staying Mentally Healthy
To keep yourself healthy, you may watch your weight, exercise, or eat more fruits and veggies. But don't forget about your mind. Here are some ways to help you stay mentally fit, too:

Bank credit grew 16.9 per cent and deposits by 13.4 per cent year on year in the fortnight ended November 16. Banks disbursed new credit worth Rs 34,771 crore in the fortnight, while they lost deposits worth Rs 25,789 crore. In the previous fortnight, they'd accumulated new deposits worth Rs 47,211 and disbursed new credit of Rs 43,813 crore.
The Reserve Bank of India has projected the year's deposit growth at 15 per cent and revised the target of credit growth to 16 per cent from the earlier 17 per cent. In the first one-and-a-half months of the present quarter, bank deposits fell Rs 1,005 crore and credit growth was Rs 85,138 crore, RBI data showed.
Last year in the same period, banks had accumulated Rs 21,820 crore and disbursed new credit of Rs 39,002 crore. The credit-deposit gap has widened this year. This is one reason banks are borrowing a little over Rs 1 lakh crore daily's from RBI's liquidity adjustment facility.
Shubhalakshmi Panse, CMD, Allahabad Bank, said, "The widening credit–deposit gap is not alarming. Credit growth over a year's basis is looking high as last year, there wasn't much credit demand due to a slowdown. Most public sector banks have offloaded the high cost deposits; therefore, the deposit growth would be less as compared to advances."
The country's largest lender, State Bank of India, has been facing a problem of excess liquidity. According to Pratip Chaudhuri, chairman, the bank has accumulated deposits of about Rs 1 lakh crore this financial year and was able to deploy only about Rs 40,000 crore, leaving about Rs 60,000 crore of extra liquidity with the bank.
"People have withdrawn more cash this festival season (making the liquidity situation tight) than we were expecting" RBI deputy governor H R Khan told reporters a couple of days earlier, at the sidelines of an event here. He said a slight reduction in deposits and increase in advances also helped create the liquidity pressure.
Currently, banks are offering an interest rate of 7.5 to nine per cent for deposits of a year and above. For less than a year, they are offering 6.5 to eight per cent, making it an unattractive proposition for depositors at a time when inflation is high.
"There is a need to provide better returns to depositors," said M Narendra, chairman and managing director, Indian Overseas Bank. Depositors are instead investing in gold and real estate, where the rate of return is much higher. Higher demand has led the gold price to increase about 12 per cent in the past year, while RBI's all-India housing price index grew 24.1 per cent last year.
"Credit (demand) always picks up in the second half, which is the busy season," Narendra said, adding a reason why deposit growth was lagging was that both public and private savings are coming down, a function of many things, including government surplus. "This is a temporary problem and it will improve with the growth of the economy," he said.

Hi to Everyone,
It's nice to post to this forum again How's everyone?
I need help on Javascript for Form. The main idea is to fill out a form with just a click on a button. I tried it and it works fine if the files are in the same directory but it isn't if to post it to other site although all info are the same, it prompt me the message "Access is denied". Need some idea on how to make it work.
You can check this out to see what I mean. http://www.geocities.com/jscript2001/main.html
The link for "Testing 1" is in the same directory, which mean button "Submit 1" is working. "Testing 2" is a link to other website, so when I click on button "Submit 2", this prompt me the "Access is denied" message.
Thanks for all your kind attention.

Too Hard!! It should be easy to understand that BBALL officiating is highly inaccurate, to say the least. And that is the way it is! To question many calls, as he did consistently both ways, from his mid-court seat is annoying and detracts from the game. Like offensive holding, something can be called on every play. Always interresting to see blogs of two teams that played each other and both fan bases are convinced they got jobbed!!
A Face Of Granite, A Heart Of Wood, And A Chance
2/19/2012 – Michigan 56, Ohio State 51 – 20-7, 10-4 Big Ten
Eric Upchurch
There will never be a "Trey Burke photo spectacularrr" tag on this blog, and that's the way Michigan likes it. There are under ten seconds on the shot clock against the top defense in the country, and Trey Burke is wearing an expression of nonchalant determination.
If he smiles at points they are normal-person smiles, not the arm-flailing, mouthpiece-threatening HRRAAAAAAHHHHs of Tim Hardaway Jr or Jared Sullinger. If you're not exactly calm, the sight of Burke bringing the ball up at least dampens your anxiety—whether you're fan, coach or teammate. He is the fastest and slowest player on the court.
As a group, basketball players cluster on the hysteric end of a continuum of public displays of emotion. Burke is a rare data point on the stoic side of things. He'll never have an Aneurysm of Leadership. He may clap his hands a bit, if he's feeling strongly. At some point someone will make one of those images showing the hilariously unchanging moods of an impassive individual featuring Trey Burke.
Trey Burke eating ice cream: nonchalant determination. Trey Burke taking a calculus exam: nonchalant determination. Trey Burke roaring at the basket with a three-point lead in the final minute of a game against the #1 defense in the country with a foot-taller-than-you opponent who knows your darkest childhood secrets leaping at you…
Dustin Johnston/UMHoops
…nonchalant determination with a touch of premature aging.
Not shown on the jpeg will be the sweet kiss off the high glass and the ball arcing in for the game-sealing bucket, or the previous possession's not-quite-but-pretty-much-sealing blow-by and layup. They will only be implied.
Burke is of course one of many Michigan players who should be in over their heads. Jordan Morgan, Zack Novak, and Stu Douglass are the kind of guys who end up at Penn State and valiantly try to make an NIT. Even Hardaway did not have the recruiting profile you'd think—one and only one recruiting service (ESPN) stashed him at the end of their top 100. Burke himself was once a Penn State commit; after he reopened his recruitment his other finalist was Cincinnati.
Michigan is not valiantly trying to make an NIT. As of February 18th, 2012, Michigan is contending for a Big Ten title. Douglass and Novak are busting out their Kobe impersonations on step-back jumpers it's unbelievable they're even attempting, let alone making. Morgan is outplaying Jared Sullinger, if only for one game.
As I've sampled Big Ten message boards and blog comment sections over the course of the season, one theme continually re-emerges: I don't know how they're winning with these players. We're closer observers and can piece together a story about grit and surprising defense and making up for bad rebounding with transition points, but even that comes to a stuttering, unconvincing conclusion when the subject of Hardaway's three-point shooting comes up. And how is this lineup the fourth-best defense in the league anyway? Michigan has one post player!
Not even we can explain it. It just is.
If you're in the mood for some advice, here's mine: savor this. If this is Michigan's year of re-establishing itself—Michigan's This Is Michigan year—the things that come afterwards will feature a lot of wins and exciting times and fun. They'll also be burdened with expectations that aren't currently encumbering Michigan's motley crew of players rescued from the mid-major humane shelters of America. You know what it's like to have expectations. You're a Michigan football fan.
Here there is a rare opportunity to play with house money for big stakes. It will be the farthest thing from a disappointment if Michigan doesn't quite break their drought this year; if they do, that banner we know we can't give to Novak (and Douglass) despite wanting to will read "Big Ten Champions 2011-2012."
I'll be twitching uncontrollably as Michigan attempts this over the next two weeks. Trey Burke will eat ice cream and fly by in slow motion.
Our own Eric Upchurch's gallery:
Also: AnnArbor.com photo gallery. UMHoops photos. AnnArbor.com also got Gameday-related shots.
And then I was like…
Titlewatch(!). The chance Michigan ends its 25 year Big Ten title drought is still slim but after Saturday it is extant. Unfortunately, Purdue blew a five point halftime lead against MSU by coming out for the second half and throwing up thirteen straight bricks, so MSU has a one-game edge on OSU and M for the conference lead. Wisconsin is another game back.
Closing stretches:
- MSU: @ Minnesota, Nebraska, @ Indiana, OSU
- OSU: Illinois, Wisconsin, @ NU, @ MSU
- M: @ NU, Purdue, @ Illinois, @ Penn State
- UW: @ Iowa, @ OSU, Minnesota, Illinois
Despite the home-road split, Michigan has a considerably easier road than anyone else. They'll probably get at least a share if they win out, which Kenpom thinks has a 15% chance of happening. Winning 13(!) is the most likely scenario, though, and that would require MSU dropping two and OSU one of their last four to get a three-way tie. That's a tall order.
"The pride of Columbus, Ohio." I've never been a fan of the Crisler PA guy ("WHO WANTS FREE PIZZZAAAAA") but I have to give it up: dubbing Trey Burke the Pride of Columbus was A+ trash talk. Sixty-five points awarded.
Matta WTF. I've had to shut up about my theory that Matta is as dumb as a rock as his team has annihilated everyone on defense, but Saturday provided a great flashback to the days when OSU was only pretty good and Matta seemed like a major impediment to them being better.
The situation: Michigan is up three with 42 seconds left on the clock as they inbound the ball. Matta doesn't foul, betting on a stop and OSU hitting a three after getting the ball back with seven seconds left. WTF?
You got Morg-owned. Jordan Morgan outplayed Jared Sullinger head to head. Full stop. This is a big component of how:
AnnArbor.com; Dustin Johnston/UMHoops
On two tightly-spaced second half possessions he ran the floor well ahead of Sullinger and threw down explosive dunks as Sullinger looked on in disgust.
Morgan may not be very tall or an explosive leaper but he has no equal in the league when it comes to running the floor as a center. He may have missed his true calling as a tight end.
[INTERMISSION: let's take this opportunity to Homer-drool over the prospect of a 6'8" tight end who can run like Morgan.]
Anyway, Morgan: 11 points on 5/8 shooting, 11 rebounds (2 offensive), 0 TOs. Sullinger: 14 points on 6 of 14 shooting, 8 rebounds (3 offensive), 3 TOs. Michigan has to react to Sullinger a lot more than vice versa, granted, but Morgan was efficient offensively and stellar defensively. Sullinger cannot say the same.
Also, damn that's a pass right there. Also also, if Morgan keeps missing absolute bunnies one of these days I'm going to pass out. He and Douglass had groaners in the first half I dwelled on.
Please, please please let Hardaway get what he wants this time. 13 points on 5 shots, 2 of 2 from three. Four turnovers and zeros most everywhere else on the stat sheet are less appealing but I'll take that efficiency.
Step-back step-ups. I wasn't quite right that Michigan needed to shoot significantly better from three than Ohio State to win—Michigan had a narrow edge with three makes on 13 shots; OSU needed 16 attempts to match—but that's because most of Michigan's long-range makes came from just within the three-point line. Hardaway had a couple of "no no no… YES" long twos with a bunch of time on the shot clock early; late Michigan got critical buckets from Douglass and Novak on NBA-style step-backs.
It's been said before but it's worth repeating: Lavall Jordan has worked miracles with both Novak and Douglass. Those guys now have the ability to get their own shot off the bounce when they have to or they sense an opportunity. Neither produced shot one last year. The development of the two seniors is akin to Michigan's defensive coaches turning Will Heininger into a pretty good player over the course of a single year—evidence that Michigan's player development is top notch. Combine that with the waves of talent in both major sports and you're cooking.
Offensive board obliteration measuration. Not incredibly horrible: OSU rebounded a third of their misses. That's only slightly above the national average of 32.2%. Also it seemed like a lot of them came on a couple of possessions where OSU got three or four putback attempts; patterns like that bother me less because I'd rather have the opponent have one possession with a very, very high rate of success than four with a less-but-still-very-good rate. Also at some point there are just a ton of dudes around the basket and they're all taller than you.
Obligatory reffing section. After trolling OSU message boards for some schadenfreude and discovering the reaction of the Michigan internet to Jay Bilas, I'll abort my planned ref-railin'. Not necessarily because I'm wrong but because I'm obviously so partisan that I can't be trusted in these matters.
Also, I was waiting for the whistle on this late Craft layup attempt and one never came:
Dustin Johnston/UMHoops
Whether or not this event was actually quality D, it's one on which whistles are all but certain. I do question a bunch of calls but whatever.
Okay, it's just a conceit above. It's a pretty good conceit but this AnnArbor.com photo exposes its limitations:
ALL CAN BE FORGIVEN. I'll never say a bad word about Dave Brandon again if
1) Michigan wins at least a share of the Big Ten title and
2) the resulting banner bleeds like this:
Just the trickle down the side.
(Also, that's an excellent demonstration of the differences between Maize and our current yellow.)
UMHoops recap and Five Key Plays, featuring all of the charges:
Eleven Warriors recap. Andy Reid on Morgan's game. MANBALL? MANBALL:
"He played like a beast," Tim Hardaway, Jr. said. "He played like a man against the best big man in the country. And he took that to heart all week. All he heard was, 'Jared Sullinger, Jared Sullinger, Jared Sullinger,' and he wanted to come out here and show he could compete. He did a great job of that and took care of business."
Baumgardner on Morgan and other matters.
This morning, the state of Michigan must be rubbing its collective eyes, because look at the Big Ten standings now. Michigan State, which hammered Ohio State on the road earlier, is at the top with a 10-3 mark (21-5 overall) and could create space with a win at Purdue on Sunday, or create a three-way tie with a loss. Michigan (20-7, 10-4) and Ohio State (22-5, 10-4) are just behind, and who would have dreamed up this scenario?
With two weeks left, Michigan and Michigan State are grappling for a title, and go back to the preseason and try to envision that. While you're at it, go back five years when John Beilein arrived and imagine the Wolverines being here.
"To walk into that arena (before the game) was a bit moving," Beilein said. "I felt it wasn't just a rivalry game. It was a team playing for contention for a Big Ten championship, and I thought it was special. When you're rebuilding a program, there's a lot of little moments, a lot of small victories. This was one of them."
Meinke on Burke. Daily on Morgan. Beard on the hyped-up atmosphere at Crisler. Daily on Novak. Daily on GREATEST FEBRUARY 18TH EVER. Does The White Tiger have a giant head of himself? He's in the right area. Holdin' The Rope not at Holdin' the Rope.
Burke won his fifth Big Ten freshman of the week. I think Cody Zeller is out of moves here. McGary scouting from UMHoops.
The thing about Bilas that must be understood is that since 2001, he has viewed Michigan through a unique lens. From 2001-07, to him we were The Great School that Hired My Best Friend, and he adored us. Since 2007, we are The Evil School that Fired My Best Friend and he's pretty much rooted for us to fail ever since.
Brian, you're best work sir...well done. Well frickin done.
...and yes, I want to see Morgan in a winged helmet next season just because.
You take back your insult of the PA guy(Bob) or I will find you Brian!
In his basement high-fiving the wall.
I am not the world's biggest basketball fan. I don't understand many of the nuances of the game, nor do I really want to take the time to learn. I'm also not an English Prof. That doesn't mean I don't recognize a winning effort or know when a person's writing resonates with me.
There's a simple, one-word answer to the question of how Michigan is winning with these players: Beilein.
Michigan has the best coach in college basketball.
I think there three main measures of how good a college coach is. Does he represent the program well? Does he recruit well? Does he develop the talent he recruits?. Beilein has been excellent from day one on the first, improving from good to fantastic on the second, and absolutely excellent in the third. He also has "recruited" great assistant coaches to help with the above. I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade him for any coach in America and to be able to say that for 3 sports(football, hockey, basektball) is a pretty special feeling as a Michigan fan.
Was going to say that myself. This coach is GREAT. Not only does he win, but he wins with great kids. These kids work hard, play right and are good kids off the court too. Plus they are so much fun to watch. That is the definition of what we call Michigan sports: Win and win with class. Coach is a class act and he picks players that are too. Someone else said it and I'll resay it: There's a reason that NBA players are encouraging their sons to play for that man. We're better off for having him as our coach.
Good...good... someone do this:
"At some point someone will make one of those images showing the hilariously unchanging moods of an impassive individual featuring Trey Burke."
I wouldn't hold my hopes up, but I don't know that it's impossible to lose a game and still have a chance at the championship. You need Wisconsin to win a must win game for them, though it is in Columbus, and Indiana to have some Indiana home cooking against MSU. Wouldn't put money on either, but they're not ridiculous (I'm pretty much assuming OSU has to beat MSU at the end).
And I wish a few more people would have taken your advice to "enjoy it now" during the football season. After the last three years, expectations had died down quite a bit, and predictions were mostly lowered. Yet there was still a lot of complaining after wins, even one's as historic as Notre Dame. And not "analyzing the team as we go forward" stuff (which proved wrong anyway, but digression), but immediate reactions. Savior it a little. The pain isn't going to lessen, so take the joy to heart a little more.
Edit: And I would have loved to seen some of the other fan boards reaction to "how the heck are they doing this?"....
Thanks for including highlights that did not feature the grating whines of Jay Bilas.
In the highlights, as Trey Burke hits the last runner around 3:15, the camera pans left and in the top corner you see one of the cheerleaders power spike her pom pom like she's Brady. Love it.
They might hoist a banner for it, but if we end up on top of the standings, I can't personally feel like "we won a Big Ten title" when there's a tournament that basically negates the regular season.
Jay Bilas has his own Tommy Amaker themed "Never Forget" poster when it comes to Michigan. I really think he is incapable of being objective.
I think Brian said it best a few weeks ago when he said that the contributions of Novak and Douglass are no longer grit and untangibles. What those guys do every game is "damn tangible." Retiring their numbers doesn't seem quite right, but they need more than the normal senior honoring, one way or another.
"so MSU has a one-game edge on OSU and MSU"
Please fix that. Also, motley.
otoh, Morg-owned. Most excellent.
PS Does anyone have his email or know any family members k thx
Nice! Thanks for all of your work! Go Blue!
whenever i see ELEVEN WARRIORS, i always see ELVEN WARRIORS
can we make this happen?
Ask Antonio Gates, among others, if he missed his calling as a tight end because he played (only) hoops in college.
I love this team
Class kids, class coach. Win with class. Never quit and they are fun to watch. Everything you want in a team.
I watched the game with a high school coach who couldn't believe Matta didn't foul that last Michigan possession. Your basically conceding the game if you can't get a stop. Even if you do the odds aren't exactly great to get a good look with 11 or so seconds left. Also, Bilas irritated the hell out of me the entire game. It felt a little like Spielman but not nearly as bad. Maybe it's just me.
Meanwhile, Michigan coach Brady Hoke and the football staff — just three weeks after finalizing the 2012 recruiting class — were collecting stars like they were playing Super Mario.
So where's the hockey Monday column? Isn't that supposed to go up first?)
(Kidding, of course. Great weekend all around, and obviously huge win for Beilein and the program)
i love the attempted foot block by Craft on the Morgan pass. what's he doing, playing ultimate?
And you sir, were spot on
Standard move. You see Stu Douglass doing that, too. He's had a few kicked balls this season. Offense takes it out of bounds, but it does not reset the play clock. If I were Aaron Craft, I would've preferred to kick it, too, as opposed to giving up the jam.
To not let his Big Man, Sullinger, get DUNKED ON!!! But he whiffed and Sullinger watched Morgan slam one in transition!
Why did Michigan beat osu? Clearly because Brady Hoke is a way better pointer than Urban Meyer:
Also, as per the postgame interview: Trey Burke being interviewed by Erin Andrews after a win over osu - nonchalant determination. She actually had to ASK him to smile! And he did - for about 2 seconds...
He's got some serious poker face. I couldn't be a foot from Erin Andrews and not be smiling...
that banner we know we can't give to Novak (and Douglass) despite wanting to will read "Big Ten Champions 2011-2012."
Nitpick: we only put the second year on our banners, so it will read BIG TEN CHAMPIONS 2012.
If UM wins a share of the BIG title this year I will consider the "0" and "1" in "2012" on the banner as honoring Novak and Douglass.
I didn't realize that was Morgan's first double-double. Major props to him.
Can we stop using pictures to compare shades of maize? Someone can take a picture of the same jersey and the result can look anywhere from red to neon green based on camera settings and available light. And that's before processing in photoshop.
Jordan Morgan won that game for Michigan. I will say that it was of course a team effort but dare I say we expect that out of THJ (maybe not lately), Stu and Novak (I expect their leadership and "grit" every game now), and Trey Burke these days? What we don't expect, I don't think and is not a knock on Jordan Morgan, is for our big man to play a full game like the way he did. He shut Sullinger down playing AWESOME defense. He did what Brian said and played a very good offensive game, running the floor in transition (I do expect that out of him), and did a good job on the glass. Maybe most importantly, he stayed on the floor. This goes back to his defense and his smart play on Sullinger. I think an underplayed theme in that game was Beilein keeping Morgan in the game after picking up his two fouls in a short amount of time. After those (and one I feel was questionable if I recall) he went back to the smart and gritty battling with Sullinger down low.
Pure opinion of course, as the team played great together, but Morgan stepping up like that was maybe more of a factor than THJ stepping it up lately. If we can get Jordan Morgan to play that physical/smart/BEASTLY from here on out with the added awakening of THJ (and maybe Smotz) this team really could match-up with most teams in the country; I mean that.
I had so much more to add on this game but I doubt it''ll even get read by many people. I was so stoked about this victory I wanted to point out all the things good that happened, and obvi there were many. I know basketball pretty well (more that the average fan) and love to point out things some don't notice, for example. Who cares right now though, things are to awesome to go back and hash over!
Nice read, Brian. That was good schtuff.
ESPN has us as a lock. Did anyone here really think we'd be fighting for the top and already a lock with 4 games to go? You would have taken my house on that bet. Lifetime contract for coach B.

The Elk Valley Times received four awards in the recent Tennessee Press Association's 2013 newspaper contest, co-sponsored by the University of Tennessee.
Top awards were presented during an annual presentation ceremony held on July 19.
The Times won second and fourth place awards in the Best Feature Photograph competition.
The second place came for the picture "It's Fair Time!" in the Sept. 5, 2012, edition of the newspaper. Taken by EVT photographer and staff writer Paul Henry, the photo depicted Storm Hawk, owned by Jimmy and Oneita Wolaver of Lincoln County, during a workout in preparation for harness races during the Lincoln County Fair.
And the fourth place Best Feature Photograph award was received for the photo "Signs of Spring", on the front page of The Times' March 20, 2013, edition. That photograph, also taken by Henry, depicted daffodils growing along King Drive and Old Wells Hill Road, with an old barn in the background.
"Great composition, action, color and background," wrote a judge in his critique of one of the entries, a comment also echoed by a judge in relation to the other entry.
The Times also won third place in Local Features, a category that takes into consideration overall feature stories included in the newspaper. Entries in that category are judged based on contest criteria during any given month selected at year's end by the press association.
"The Elk Valley Times deserves much credit for putting much effort into timely community coverage," a judge wrote of the newspaper's entries for the designated month, which happened to be August, 2012.
Local features included in those August editions were by Times' staffers, Laurie Pearson, Sandy Williams and Lucy Williams, as well as Henry.
The newspaper also received a fourth place for Community Lifestyles included in March and April, 2012, editions. That division of competition is judged based on content in four consecutive editions of the paper – content reflecting the work of all The Times' editorial staff.
"The sections are absolutely packed with local news," another judge wrote in assessment of the entries. "Clearly the newspaper binds the community together."
"Everyone here at the paper does an excellent job every day," said Lucy Williams, editor and publisher.
"The Elk Valley Times consistently wins awards every year in our state press contests, and it's because of the work that each of our staff members does.
"I would like all of our staff members to know how much I appreciate all the effort they each put forth consistently to make The Elk Valley Times the best community newspaper possible," she added.
"They are truly wonderful, and we feel very fortunate to have each of them on staff."

Golden Silva keeps pressure on leaders
Manchester City cut the gap to rivals United at the top of the Premier League to four points on Saturday, while Liverpool hit five as they moved level with Arsenal in the hunt for European football. Newcastle's survival hopes were derailed by Reading, who moved out of the bottom three at the expense of Wigan.
• Delaney: Rs denied by old boy Cole
• Jolly: Henderson shines
Roberto Mancini will hope for a favour from Tottenham after Manchester City did their job ahead of United's trip to White Hart Lane on Sunday, beating Fulham 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. A brace from David Silva ensured pressure was applied by the champions as they attempt to hunt down their neighbours.
Mancini does not expect any big-name signings in January, but he was boosted by the return of two important squad members as Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri took to the bench against Fulham. And the duo were treated to a goal after two minutes, as Silva pounced on Mark Schwarzer's parry after Edin Dzeko had fired at goal.
Steve Sidwell shaved the outside of a post for Fulham, who found themselves without the ball for large periods, and tension grew for the home side as their slender lead looked increasingly precarious. However, with 20 minutes left Silva got his second, capitalising on Carlos Tevez's delightful touch to seal the three points.
Liverpool bounced back from defeat at Old Trafford with a convincing 5-0 victory over Norwich at Anfield. Daniel Sturridge was handed his first start by Brendan Rodgers, and he struck up an instant understanding with Luis Suarez as goals from Jordan Henderson, Suarez, Sturridge, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling lifted the Reds up to seventh - six points shy of the top four.
Rodgers had to make do without injured 'keeper Pepe Reina as Brad Jones, Jamie Carragher and Henderson all came into the starting XI. Jones was called into action early as Ryan Bennett wasted a glorious headed chance for Norwich, sending his effort straight at the Liverpool keeper.
The Reds had to wait until the 26th minute for the breakthrough, Henderson smashing home in superb fashion from the edge of the area. The next goal was even better as Sturridge nonchalantly stepped over the ball to allow Suarez to run clear, the Uruguayan clipping home his 16th league goal of the season with his left foot.
Fittingly, Sturridge got his own name on the scoresheet in the second half when he tapped home Stewart Downing's excellent first-time cross, before Gerrard lashed in a 25-yarder. Sterling then stepped off the bench to guide a fifth past Bunn as the Reds turned on the style.
Newcastle started the day two points above the bottom three and will continue to feel desperately uncomfortable about their top-flight future after a 2-1 defeat at home to comeback specialists Reading. Yohan Cabaye handed Alan Pardew's men the lead at St James' Park, but Adam Le Fondre stepped off the bench to score a brace as the Royals leapt out of the relegation zone.
Adam Federici was a busy man in the first half as he denied Newcastle with a couple of top-drawer saves, but he could do nothing about Cabaye's pinpoint free-kick in the 35th minute.
Newcastle could not build on that moment, though, and Le Fondre bundled the ball home 19 minutes from time before curling in a delightful second, leaving Pardew's men in real danger, while Reading are now 17th on goal difference.
QPR are a point closer to dragging themselves out of danger as Harry Redknapp's men clung on for a 1-1 draw against West Ham at Upton Park.
Redknapp handed a start to new signing Loic Remy, and it took less than 15 minutes for him to start repaying that fee as he latched onto a fantastic pass by Adel Taarabt to run clear of the home defence.
West Ham then screamed for a penalty on the half-hour when Marouane Chamakh was felled by Shaun Wright-Phillips, but nothing was given. In the second period, Chamakh missed a golden headed chance, but Joe Cole eventually equalised in the 68th minute, leaving QPR four adrift of 17th spot.
Wigan's survival hopes were badly dented by a 3-2 defeat against Sunderland at the DW Stadium as they dropped below Reading into the relegation zone. The Latics led after a fourth-minute own goal from David Vaughan, but a harsh penalty decision for handball allowed Craig Gardner to equalise.
Steven Fletcher then handed Sunderland the lead when he beat Ali Al-Habsi at the second attempt, and he curled home his second prior to half-time. Angelo Henriquez scored a late penalty for Wigan, but they could not find a leveller.
Aston Villa squandered a two-goal lead and were left with just a point from the west midlands derby against West Brom as it ended 1-1.
It looked like being all three when Christian Benteke (12) and Gabriel Agbonlahor (31) put Villa two up at The Hawthorns but Chris Brunt pulled one back four minutes after half-time and Peter Odemwingie earned the Baggies a 2-2 draw seven minutes from time.
Elsewhere, Swansea won 3-1 against Stoke at the Liberty Stadium in a mid-table contest. Michu missed a first-half sitter for the Swans, but Ben Davies scored a memorable goal early in the second half before Jonathan De Guzman added a brace. Michael Owen grabbed a consolation for Stoke with his 150th Premier League goal.

Welcome to the American PitBull Registry ( APBR ). If you are looking for a registry to represent you as a PitBull owner you have come to the right place. The APBR is the world's largest international PitBull specific registry and offers registration services unparalleled in the entire registration industry.
In addition to registration services we are the largest information provider on the world wide web in regards to the American PitBull Terrier ( APBT ) dog breed.
Although the primary focus of the American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) is to register pure bred PitBulls, we are a comprehensive resource for the PitBull dog breed, owners, rescues, shelters and those wishing to learn more about the American PitBull Terrier dog breed and its unique history.
The American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) is the largest repository of information on PitBulls and is considered to be the number one resource and clearinghouse on the Internet with thousands of pages of general and member exclusive content. Please review the links to the left to begin your inspiring quest on all things PitBull.
PitBull Myth:
Purity of breed can be determined by registration and paperwork.
PitBull Fact:
The PitBull is the most unregistered pure breed in existence. It also has one of the longest histories of registration of any pure breed. Many pure bred PitBulls have had their unregistered records kept meticulously within their family for generations, others have fallen out of the process simply due to breeders not following through with registrations and other PitBulls have been targeted and excluded from registration by some registries for no other reason than their coat or eye color. Exclusion from registration however does not equal impure.

deStentor - Playing Ping-Pong With The Hips
By Henriëtte Aronds | deStentor :: January, 2011
"I really enjoyed the way I could express myself through Nia, and later I became fascinated by the combination of all the different movement forms. It had a tremendous effect on me. I learned to be in my body. I gained strength and flexibility, my body alignment improved and my endurance increased. Once back in the Netherlands, I started missing Nia incredibly. In Hamburg I took the training to become a Nia teacher. I've been teaching for several years now and lead workshops at businesses."
Wilma Notermans
Below is a translated version of this article:
"Kick you right leg to the front. Step. Now your left leg: step, as if kicking a balloon up in the air. Cross your arms and hands in front of your chest like kickboxing, and move back with your arms up then wide and stretched out. Shake your shoulders seductively…"
With a happy face, teacher Esther Arends, microphone on her head, gives up-tempo instructions for the warming-up section of class. She totally surrenders into her movement and into the stimulating music. Using loud cheers, she encourages us to follow her. We, a group of women in a studio in the centre of Amsterdam, need not be told twice. We see our bodies in the enormous mirrored wall. We kick and shake as this was our last dance. Our bodies are sweating.
We are doing Nia: A fitness workout developed in America. Nia means 'intention' in Swahili and was created by Debbie Rosas and Carlos AyaRosas. These two California fitness-instructors saw no salvation in the motto 'no pain, no gain' in the battle for a fit and slim body. Moreover, they felt that classical fitness was too static, too hard on the body, and way to serious. They wanted a dynamic, safe and playful way of moving.
The duo studied various movement techniques, which they then combined. They borrowed movement from the martial arts like Taekwando and Tai Chi, which help develop flexibility, precision and strength. They integrated the expression and pleasure of modern dance and jazz dance. Yoga inspired them to pay attention to posture, balance and concentration. Nia has become a way of moving that is focused on the body and mind. Above all, it is an exercise in which the joy of movement comes first. Debbie and Carlos believed that while we are working out, we sometimes forget that exercise most of all needs to be fun.
To IT engineer Wilma Notermans (40), who brought Nia to the Netherlands several years ago, the essence of Nia is indeed the joy of movement. She came in contact with it when she was living in California for a while. "I really enjoyed the way I could express myself through Nia, and later I became fascinated by the combination of all the different movement forms. It had a tremendous effect on me. I learned to be in my body. I gained strength and flexibility, my body alignment improved and my endurance increased. Once back in the Netherlands, I started missing Nia incredibly. In Hamburg I took the training to become a Nia teacher. I've been teaching for several years now and lead workshops at businesses. I hope my passion becomes my sacred livelihood next year."
The program, also called "wellness fitness," has been around for 27 years and has a big group of loyal and enthusiastic practitioners across the United States. For many people, Nia is a way of life. It has spread over the rest of the world. Notermans: "Especially the last two years, Nia has been expending in the Netherlands. Through the communal website of Nia teachers in The Netherlands, the requests for a local Nia class increased throughout all parts of the country. We hope to have more trained teachers soon, so that all regions are covered and everybody can practice Nia. "
In The Nia Technique book, Debbie and Carlos explain the technique step by step. They describe how the program suits every level, every age and every body. And yes indeed, it is physically easy to do. You don't make any high jumps or perform endlessly repetitive movements like you do with traditional aerobic classes. Besides that, the choreography is so easy to follow that you don't have to worry about the next step.
Student Mathilde (46): "Since so little is fixed, you always make a slightly different movement. You will use muscles and tendons you have not used for a while. For my job, I sit still for long periods and this is a beautiful antidote."
Everybody can practice Nia, yet so far, mostly women feel attracted to this way of moving. Notermans thinks that this is because dance is an important aspect of Nia.
"The majority of men are a little uncomfortable with dancing in the gym. "
Martial art teacher Mike (50) who watched part of a Nia class upon request, suspects that men are quickly turned off because of the dance element. Besides that, he believes that martial arts practiced to music are really aerobics. "You simply cannot put all your attention and strength into a kick or a punch when it has to fit the rhythm of the music. "
It's true that tuning into awareness of sensation will not appeal to everyone. And the visual instructions – let your armpits yawn, catch flies, pull the grass, play ping-pong with your hips, laugh loud and walk like a Native American with stomping feet through the room – make you giggly. But to be honest: once you cross the threshold and surrender to the catchy music, this workout improves the well-being of the body and mind. It's not clear how it works precisely. But it is a fact that it works.

In 2007, Temcor built a 105-m-diam. aluminum dome at the Platin Works cement plant in Drogheda, Ireland, near Dublin. The Platin Works plant and Podilsky are part of CRH Group.
The dome at Podilsky, like the one in Ireland, will be a 105-m-diam. aluminum dome for limestone storage. Custom features will include a conveyor opening, truck access and man doors with dormers, and a gravity vent at the top of the dome. The dome was designed to withstand heavy snow loads. All-aluminum construction will keep the dome maintenance- and corrosion-free for years.

The northern snakehead is an invasive predator fish that can perform all kinds of non-fish-like feats -- like breathing only air for up to four days and even using its fins to crawl across land to get to a body of water.
And this weekend, environmental officials in New York will be checking to see if any of these super-fish are lurking in Harlem Meer, a man-made lake in Central Park.
Hopefully, they won't find one.
"If we spot one, we will take it out, but there is no confirmation that there are any in there," said Rodney Rivera, a spokesman for the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
PHOTOS: Weird sea creatures, strange fish
Native to China, Russia and the Koreas, the snakehead has no natural predators here in America, where it has been invading our waters.

A trio of rare baby camels are thrilling visitors at the award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Gertie, Gucci and one baby, still to be named, are a welcome boost for the critically endangered Bactrian Camels species, whose numbers in the wild have dwindled to around 1,000.
The baby camels are now great friends and out and about in their reserve with their eight-strong family, including their father Khan - delighting visitors.
"It has been a very exciting time for us welcoming three new baby camels. "Keeping them in a large, social herd as they would in the wild has contributed to the success of the breeding programme.
"We are so pleased at how well they are doing and it's great to be able to share this with our visitors," said YWP director Cheryl Williams.
"They are all getting along brilliantly. "The mothers have been very attentive and Darcy, a first time mother, has taken to her role extremely well.
"They all have a wonderful, gentle nature and are enjoying being out and about for the first time."
Bactrian camels have become critically endangered in their native home, the Gobi desert of Northern China and Mongolia.
YWP, located in Branton, is part of a global mission to help conserve the species.

Difference between revisions of "Gedser"
Revision as of 11:30, 20 September 2009
Gedser is a small port town on the island of Falster in Denmark's Zealand region, with just 832 souls living there, it's main claim to fame is as the southernmost town in Denmark, and the ferry line to Germany.
Get in
By train
The old train station in Gedser is served by a lone train per day departing Copenhagen in the morning, arriving 2 hours later at early noon and returning around 11AM. there are plans to shelve this route completely, but authorization for this has yet to be granted by parliament, hence the one train, but remember to check if the train is still running if you plan on taking it.
By bus
Movia [3] line 39 connects Gedser with the regions main train station in Nykøbing Falster around once per hour on weekdays, down to 8 departures on Sundays. In summer another option is line 43, also connecting with Nykøbing Falster, but stopping at many of the regions popular beaches en route.
By ferry
The main reason to come to Gedser is the ferry to Rostock in Germany, the most direct route between Copenhagen and Berlin. The crossing takes 1 hour and 45 minutes and is operated by Scandlines [4]. Departures every two hours between 7 and 23. Price is 650 DKK for a car including passengers, and 50 DKK for walking passengers.
Get around
Gedser is very much small enough to walk anywhere you would need to go.
There is a single gallery, and a grocery store in town, near the ferry terminal
Nope, but you can buy a beer at the grocery store and hang out at the harbour
Get out

I took a couple of DUers to task for that a while ago, during the Bush years. I believe it was over calling Condi Rice "Aunt Jemima". I even called the poster out and asked if he or she was black-no, of course not. I don't remember who it was, though, but he or she justified the comment by saying that Condi was not acting in black people's interests, therefore it was okay to use that term. I told him or her that he was lucky there were so few black posters on DU to offend with those kind of comments.

It may be rocket science, but General Motors says a new robotic glove it's developing with NASA has some seriously practical applications down on Earth.
Formally known as the Human Grasp Assist, the system is a spin-off of the Robonaut 2 project, a human-like robot GM helped develop that's now operating on the International Space Station, or ISS. Known internally as Robo-Glove, the prototype is intended to make it easier to hold something in your grip longer and more comfortably.
The system could be used by space-walking astronauts as well as workers on the assembly line, says Dana Komin, GM's manufacturing engineering director, Global Automation Strategy and Execution.
"When fully developed, the Robo-Glove has the potential to reduce the amount of force that an auto worker would need to exert when operating a tool for an extended time or with repetitive motions," explains Komin. "In so doing, it is expected to reduce the risk of repetitive stress injury."

Submission + - I designed North Korea's new website -- by accident (foxnews.com) 1
Velcroman1 writes: Robert Westmore of Southern California designs websites for a living — but he was shocked to learn that he had designed a new homepage for the reclusive North Korean regime. "I had no idea," he said in an interview. "Honestly, I didn't even know North Korea had a website." While the notorious totalitarian government continues to spend hundreds of millions on failed rocket launches, North Korea skimps in other areas, notably web design. Indeed the country spent just $15 redesigning its national homepage, korea-dpr.com — a fact accidentally discovered by an unsuspecting college student. Westmore was surprised, but okay with it in the end. "As a web designer I'm always happy to see my work getting utilized," said Westmore, who spent several months of development on the theme. "Especially when it's on a high-profile website."

A fight broke out at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem after rival groups of Orthodox and Armenian clerics clashed over the boundaries of their jurisdictions inside the church.
This is a great video to show religious geography and how scale plays a key role in a patterns. Not only does the macro-religious geography of the Levant lead to politically contentious situations, but the micro-religious geography can also be problematic. This building itself has a curiously devided spatial pattern among Christian branches that demands tolerance, cooperation and searching for ways to share a place that many groups find holy...this could be seen as symbolic way to look at the whole area.

Grasso to Join University of Delaware as Provost
- 01-30-2013
- By Jeffrey R. Wakefield
The University of Vermont's vice president for research and dean of the Graduate College, Domenico Grasso, has been named provost at the University of Delaware. He will remain in his current post at UVM through Aug. 14.
"I am most grateful to Dr. Grasso for his service to the University of Vermont, both as dean of the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, and as vice president for research and dean of the Graduate College," said Tom Sullivan, UVM president. "Dom's strong commitment to research and graduate programs has helped to strengthen UVM's research profile across the country, and his interest in the study of complex systems was instrumental in establishing one of our key Spires of Excellence at the university. He is a talented administrator and a distinguished scholar who will play an important leadership role at the University of Delaware. We wish him all the best as he transitions to another outstanding public research university."
"I am excited about accepting this wonderful opportunity at Delaware, and I look forward to getting started," Grasso said. "But I am certainly going to miss UVM and Vermont. The friends and colleagues I have known here will never be forgotten, and I plan to spend as much time as possible enjoying the people and places I have come to love in Vermont before heading off to the University of Delaware. I am blessed to be leaving one exceptional institution for another, and I am profoundly grateful for all of the opportunities and experiences I have been so fortunate to have had at UVM. Living here has been a very special privilege for my family and for me, and Vermont will always be a cherished part of us."
Grasso came to UVM in 2004 from Smith College, where he was founding director of the Picker Program in Engineering and Technology, as dean of the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. He was named to his current post in 2009.

AP Report on Latest Hostess Asset Sale Tags the Wrong Union With Blame for Company's Demise
I don't know whether AP Food Industry Writer Candice Choi misidentified the union responsible for the final demise of Hostess late last year deliberately or out of ignorance.
But in the final five paragraphs of her report on the company's sale of several of its best-known brands to two investment groups, Choi definitely blew it (bolds are mine throughout this post):
A bankruptcy judge on Tuesday approved the sale of Twinkies to a pair of investment firms, one of which has said it hopes to have the cakes back on shelves by summer.
… The bakers union for Hostess, which had previously objected to the sales, said in a statement that it shared the enthusiasm exhibited by the new owners to bring Hostess brands back to shelves quickly.
The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union said it believed "our highly-motivated and skilled workforce will serve as indispensable partners in the seamless re-opening of factories."
The Teamsters, which was the company's largest union, appeared less optimistic.
"The liquidation and sale process has only insured that the brands may live on – none of the buyers have made any comments to employ former Hostess workers let alone honor the terms of conditions of their employment with Hostess – in fact they specifically stipulated that none of the obligations carry forward as part of their bids," the Teamsters said.
Hostess closed its factories in late November following a strike by the union. The company had been struggling financially for years.
A reader unaware of the actual history would have to conclude based on what Choi wrote that the "union" which finally led Hostess to decide to liquidate was the Teamsters. As Bloomberg News and many other outlets reported at the time, the blame belongs completely with the bakers' union:
Hostess Brands Inc., the bankrupt maker of Wonder bread and Twinkies, said it will fire more than 18,000 workers and liquidate after a nationwide strike by bakery workers crippled operations.
Officials of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, representing about 6,700 Hostess employees, were "incredibly disappointed" and "angry" about the shutdown, (Hostess Chief Executive Officer Gregory F.) Rayburn said. The Teamsters union yesterday urged the bakers' union to let members decide by secret ballot whether to continue the walkout.
"The company has clearly been mismanaged for some time," the Teamsters said today in a statement. "Unfortunately, the company's operating and financial problems were so severe that it required steep concessions from a variety of stakeholders but not all stakeholders were willing to be constructive."
Drivers represented by the Teamsters earlier ratified a new contract with 8 percent in wage concessions and 17 percent in benefit reductions. Teamsters members "understood what was at stake and voted to protect all jobs at Hostess," the union said in today's statement.
As noted above, I don't know the reason for Choi's obvious error. But how can the Essential Global Network's Food Industry Writer mess up on such an easy thing and not have it get caught by some kind of editorial oversight?
I believe what we're learning is that at the AP, there really isn't any meaningful editorial oversight.

Ask Andru: How do I convert cassette tapes to digital format?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Music, PC / Laptop, Software,
With the move to cloud and digital content that's taken the world by storm, older technologies have fallen by the wayside. The problem, though, is that there are still plenty of great pieces of content that are relegated to VHS, film reels, cassette tapes, and records. Today in my Ask Andru column, we have a question from Janine, a kindergarten teacher who wants to know how to convert her books on cassette over to a digital format. Let's jump into it.
Q: I listen to your show and really enjoy all your tips. I teach Kindergarten and have many books on cassettes that my students love listening to. Some of the cassettes are getting a bit worn. So I thought I could convert them over to CDs instead of buying new books with CDs. Do you have any suggestions on what would be the best way to do this that is affordable?

Kodachrome, R.I.P.
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Corporate News,
Because of poor sales, Eastman Kodak has decided to take our Kodachrome away. No more greens of summer when the stock that is left sells out, probably this fall. The film first came out in 1935 and was a huge hit, but now accounts for less than 1% of the company's market. Most camera owners opt for digital and newer film technology and although the company claims to be nostalgic, it still comes down to profit.

Digital Transition This Friday
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV, Misc. Tech,
You know this is your final week before your TV turns into snow, right? If not, it is time to stop procrastinating with the excuse, "The dog ate my coupons." DTV.gov says that about 42% of stations have already made the digital transition and that means that as of Friday, 58% of the channels you take for granted on your old analog set will cease to exist. Check out their site if you need physical or emotional support.

More TV Stations to Crossover to Digital Before June
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories:
The FCC has announced that 158 more stations will switch from analog to digital before the June 12 deadline, with about a third of them being PBS affiliates. This leaves 927 stations, 51.6%, to make the change later. One of our local stations that made the early transition almost harasses you if you tune them in without a converter. Twenty four hours a day of telling us to get a box is not exactly friendly PR. You can check the list of those that are crossing over early on an FCC PDF.

TV Stations To Crossover To Digital Early
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV,
Now that the crossover to digital TV has been postponed, don't think that you still have 4 months to buy a new TV or converter box. Some of the 1,796 full-power stations will still go with the option of dropping analog transmission this month. The FCC has asked those stations to notify them today and can prohibit the change if they feel that it is not in the public's interest. So if you still aren't ready and you live in an urban area, you might see that snow after all February 17.

House and Senate Approve Digital Changeover Delay
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment,
Put your converters back into their cardboard boxes for a while. The House okayed the bill by 264 to 158 to set the date for the digital changeover to June 12. The Senate had previously approved the measure. Undoubtedly, President Obama will sign it as well. However, there is still no funding for more converter coupons but that may yet come under part of the new stimulus legislation.
