Seems high to me, but Vegas knows best. What do you think?
UM -13 vs NW
Weren't we 10 pt favorites for Michigan state? I think Vegas is using the Michigan name to make some cash money.
He's saying uninformed people will take Michigan to cover because they are Michigan-fer-god-sakes not knowing that Michigan is not quite itself and northwestern is a little more than you would normally consider NU to be.
I think many more people that bet on sports would be informed, though, and would take NWU to cover, making easy money in the process. This tactic would lose them money, I would think.
I like NW here at anything over 10
It's already at 11. Can't see it going below 10. Got it at 13 so thank you quick poster! If it does magically go below 10 I have a nice middle shot for Saturday.
Vegas isn't trying to do anything more than get the most action on every bet. The more people who throw down cash the more the house makes on the extra 10% or whatever the sportsbook charges these days. That being said, I think we need to jump on this NW team early. They have the firepower to put up a ton of points, and our offense is not that prolific. Who is starting for us at QB, BTW?
Who is starting at QB for NW is also a good question. I doubt either one will be able to air it out against us, so as long as we can contain the Colter and Mark read option attack we should be fine.
Edit: NW is 113th in passing yards per game, and 13th in rushing yards per game. Hopefully our front seven comes to play and we see a lot of Kovacs rolling into the box.
Um, I'm not sure you understand how sports betting works. Vegas needs (or at least wants) an equal amount of action on both sides so that no matter who wins, Vegas wins by means of their rake. They do not want to be betting against you that a team will or will not win.
People say this all the time but it's not necessarily true. If Vegas knows the public has a strong lean one way they're willing to take a side against it as long as they feel the odds are well in their favor. What you're saying is generally true but not always and probably not as often as you think.
You're right, and there are people who make a living off betting against popular teams because of that. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the effect is only in the 1-2 point range. That's enough to cheat the odds in their favor a little without making ridiculously unrealistic lines that sharps would jump all over with big money. Generally though, Vegas would prefer to have equal money so they don't depend on the outcome of the game.
I'm really curious how the 'Denard is uncertain/Denard is staring/jk, Denard's not starting now five minutes before kickoff' played out from Vegas's perspective. I assume a bunch of people jumped on Minnesota last minute and then got burned when Devin Gardner decided to be awesome.
I don't think I'm getting the difference between the two positions being argued.
If there's a public bias in favor of a particular big-name team, wouldn't the bookie need to slide the line a bit in that team's direction to get the money aligned on both sides?
The sharps might get to take a bit advantage of the public bias but if I'm the bookie I just want my rake. If I put up the line I actually think, I'm going to end up with too much money placed on the bigger name.
I'm pretty sure we're all saying the same thing.
Keep in mind though that sharps are typically willing to bet a lot more than the general public, so a very small contingent holds a lot of sway over the line. Hence my assertion that Vegas can't really move the line more than a point or two to account for public bias.
on every bet." Simple fact that underlies the entire system. And Vegas can go on betting forever that grown men will ignore it.
Vegas is just baiting bettors to take NW.
I reckon the line will dip down to -7 by gametime.
The latest Massey numbers, which will be updated tomorrow, would have Michigan by a touchdown right now, I believe, and the Sagarin rankings (82.40-77.20 plus the 3 points for home field advantage) would tell a similar story. I assume the line on Saturday might actually be closer to this.
Having said that, I think we should be able to stunt Northwestern's rushing attack enough to get at least a push on that opening line, just looking at stats (we could play well enough on defense to win by 2 TDs, in other words). We're closely matched when it comes to offensive production by the numbers, but superior on defense (except in rushing defense, but as others have pointed out, scheduling can skew these stats - in the conference, we've done quite well). The key will likely be getting out to a fast start in this one, I think.
I'll take Michigan. I've expected every conference game, except for MSU, to be a blow out so far this season and it has. I don't think that changes for these next two games.
You really expected us to get blown out by Nebraska before the Denard injury? I thought it would be pretty close but a tossup (before the injury).
We have beaten the spread for every game except for MSU. I expect this to be the same. We have one of the best defenses in the big ten that can limit teams to around 10-15 points a game. (see all of our opponents from ND to Minn besides Nebraska) I believe we'll win 35-14.
We did not beat the spread against Nebraska.
Michigan has always had trouble with Northwestern for some reason.
last year's results say otherwise
I'd like to beat Northwestern by much more than 13 after Fitzgerald's "Michigan did nothing," comment in regards to last year's game when we shut them out 28-0 in the second half.
The comment was almost on par with Bob Davie's "We have to ask ourselves, did Michigan beat us or did we beat ourselves?" response after the Notre Dame game in '97.
Screw you, Fitzgerald. I hope we beat you by 40.
On any specific shift in momentum in the game... "I don't think we ever lost control, we just turned the ball over. When you give up scores off those turnovers, that's where you get the swings. We have to play better team football together. We thought we had a good plan coming into the second half. Again, we as coaches didn't think there was anything schematically that we didn't adjust to properly. We feel like we stopped ourselves and that's a little disappointing".
In their postgame quotes archive, this is the only thing similar to what you reference, and Fitzgerald says a lot of the standard postgame compliments to Michigan/Hoke/Denard, including this opening statement:
Opening statement... "Credit goes to our opponent, obviously. They came back in the second half and made the plays that winners make. We turned the ball over and they capitalized on it. Now as coaches, we've got to look critically at a number of things. No. 1, we've got to look schematically to see how we can help our guys. No. 2, make sure we've got the right people in there at the right times. We lost momentum again. We've got to do a better job of picking each other up. There are a bunch of guys in that locker room that are very disappointed in the way we played but we'll stick together and we'll find a way. I'd like to thank our great fans tonight for the support, especially our students. It was absolutely an outstanding environment. We thank them and expect it moving forward and we'll see them back in a few weeks for homecoming."
is a classy guy. If you're looking for opposing coaches to get worked up about, keep looking.
Line already down to 12. I'd expect to to end around 10.5.
I don't expect much trouble from NW, I think thats a pretty fair spread but I see us winning by a bit more
I think NW is going to be a tough matchup. Fitzgerald is going to have them ready to go coming off a bye week. Keep in mind their only losses are at State College and on against Nebraska on a last minute TD.
Michigan wins a tight one: 27-24.
It does concern me a little that they had a week off before playing us. But I am encouraged by how much their defense gives up to opponents: 39 points to Penn State, 29 to Indiana, 29 to Nebraska. Even lowly Syracuse scored 41 on them.
But just about every win on their resume has been close. They haven't won a single game convincingly yet (except South Dakota)
Good point. To me, it comes down to coaching, however. Fitzgerald is one of the (few) good ones in this conference. I just don't see him getting blown out with two weeks to gameplan against a team that is not playing their best football right now.
Michigan wins ultimately because they are at home and their defense will slow down the spread attack. This is one of those games, however, where I see the road team come out swinging in the first half. Will Denard be ready to go? Will panic set in if NW takes an early lead?
NW covers, Michigan wins.
I think the line is about right. Nebraska is a similar spread style, but much more effective and we played them in Nebraska. We held them to 23. I think it is reasonable to think we would hold NW in the Big House to 14 points or sonething like that.
So the question is, do we think the offense can put up 26-30 points?
I have not reviewed NW defense this year, but I do not think that is unreasonable. Remember, for whatever reason, the offense does significantly better at home (more than the typical homefield advantage)
But keep in mind, Nebraska didn't have much of a sense of urgency to score in the fourth quarter against us. If they'd needed to, they probably could have tacked on another score (whether FG or TD) on that long possession that killed the clock.
True, but on the other hand, against Nebraska the defense was repeatedly put in poor position by the offense both with turnovers and 3-and-outs. Also, I think that more than the spread style it was the high tempo that bothered us, and NW does not do that (at least not to the extreme that Nebraska does).
Curious why you say (few) good ones. I'd say that more than half of the teams in the conference have good coaches.
Obviously this is a pretty subjective statement on my part. I think that aside from Urban Meyer, there is no other proven great coach. Then looking at what's left, you have a couple coaches that (IMO) have shown enough to be deemed "rising stars" in the coaching world: Fitzgerald and Hoke. It may be too soon to say anything definitive about O'Brien, but he's had a strong debut. The next tier is made up of average to slightly above average coaches that wouldn't be too high in demand were they to leave their current post: bielema, pellini, dantonio, ferentz.
Keep an eye out on Indiana's coach, however. He's turning that team around. His stock could rise.
Agreed. In fact, I think 10 out of the 12 coaches in this league are doing a good job, just not necessarily this year.
Hoke, Meyer, Pelini, Fitzgerald are 4 obvious ones that should need no discussion.
Wilson and Kill have their program's playing much more competitively than they have for years.
O'Brien has done a ridiculously good job considering the offseason turmoil, and has made McGloin look significantly better than expected.
Ferentz is having a down year but it was only a couple years ago he took Iowa to an Orange bowl win, and has done a lot in the past.
Bielema and Dantonio are both gigantic douches but there's no question that they've both led their programs to more success than their programs have seen in awhile.
Honestly Hope and Beckman are the only 2 out of 12 that are "bad" coaches, and I'm not even positive you can make a case for Beckman yet since it's his first year.
you think he has been more successful than alvarez? alvarez is the guy that turned that program around. bielema was brought in to keep it stable.
beckman is tbd. its his first year, and the man could put up some serious points at toledo. if he's still struggling next year, i'd be more inclined to say he's a bad coach.
i'd take that
Worries me A LOT... I think we win but it could involve a late, late, touchdown, still this game scares me.
But NW covers.
NW 24th in BCS
That Hoke will keep all of guessing as to who will start at QB so that NW will have to spend extra time in preparation on D.
Considering how similar denard's qb style is to devin's, not sure it'll affect NW's game planning on defense.
One of the biggest differences is on pass plays Devin will tuck and run or move out of the pocket and keep his eyes downfield. Denard usually just stays in the pocket. Either way though Fitzgerald tells his rushers that they have to maintain their lanes and keep the QB in the pocket.
It all comes down to how Gardner plays if Denard can't go/re-aggrivates his injury. I mean he played really well last week against Minnesota, but so did Sheridan...Does last week's Gardner show up on Saturday, or does the Gardner that struggled to move the ball against MSU last year show up?
I know Northwestern has had some close games with good opponents but I just don't see them coming into the Big House and pulling off the upset, especially since we'll have some momentum from the Minnesota game.
Same way it's UM, not MG.
Thanks for clearing that up regarding the abbreviation for NW.
Still think it is unlikely that NW will win playing Michigan at home.
I think that Northwestern may give us some trouble early on, similar to last year. I think we win, but a little tighter than what may be predicted. Hope I'm wrong. I hope we are surging by the time we go to Columbus.
Line is way too high IMO. it will be a 1 score game, northwestern is legit.
Northwestern and the points. We will not beat them by two touchdowns.
how else do you explain unranked Michigan as a double digit favorite over BCS # 24 Northwestern ?
Go Blue!
Earlier in the season, I would have expected us to cover this easily. But with the way that our offensive line has been playing, I expect our scoring numbers to be low from here on out. Add to that the fact that teams have scouted us and are shutting down some of the plays that worked earlier in the year, and the rest of the games aren't going to be pretty.
... is that Northwestern under Fitzgerald thrives in November.
He's 13-8 (okay, so, thrives by Northwestern standards), but includes several big wins.
For those who think Northwestern won't come in and take the upset, consider they went down to Lincoln last year and knocked off No. 9 Nebraska.
In 2010, they beat No. 13 Iowa at home.
In 2009 they went Kinnick and beat No. 6 Iowa, then knocked off No. 14 Wisconsin at home
In 2008, they went to No. 20 Minnesota and won.
All of these games happened in November. So, don't take the Wildcats lightly. With only 5-5 MSU and lowly Illinois ramining on the wildcats' schedule, this game has Northwestern's signature November victory written all over it. We've got to show up to play.
= Victory.
That's pretty much it.
Northwestern is a horrible Big Ten passing team, like Michigan.
Except they've thrown like 5x fewer interceptions than the Wolverines have.

South Korea delays rocket launch as eyes turn to North
South Korea cancelled plans to launch a civilian space rocket on Thursday because of a technical problem while speculation mounted that North Korea may defy the international community with another ballistic missile test.
The lift-off of the 33-metre KSLV-I rocket, or Naro, and its 100-kilogram research satellite was halted shortly after 3pm HK time, Cho Yul Rae, vice science minister, said in a televised briefing. He didn't say when the launch, which will be the country's third attempt to put a satellite into orbit using a rocket built with domestic and Russian technology, may resume.
Activity at North Korea's launch site is consistent with preparations before the botched firing of a rocket in April that cost the regime an American food-aid deal, according to satellite company DigitalGlobe. South Korea has spent about US$500 million on the Naro project to gain a toehold in the space- services market while countries including the US contend the North's program is cover for missile development.
"North Korea may want to restore its national pride after the failed launch," Baek Seung Joo, who studies the Pyongyang regime's military at the Korea Institute of Defence Analyses in Seoul, said yesterday by telephone. "If South Korea succeeds with the Naro rocket, the North's technology will look weak in comparison."
Kim Jong-un's government may be in a position to conduct a test by mid-December, DigitalGlobe said on its website, citing a November 23 image of the Sohae satellite launching station.
North Korea, which announced plans for its last launch almost a month in advance, has not signaled another test is imminent while State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland declined to comment on November 27 on any intelligence assessment of satellite images.
The regime could behave provocatively at any time, South Korean President Lee Myung Bak said November 27 in remarks to military commanders, without commenting on any preparations North Korea may be making for a missile test. South Korea's military was watching the North as usual and had not changed its alert levels, an official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff said November 23 after the Asahi newspaper reported the US told Japan and South Korea it had detected preparations for a possible missile test.
South Korea's presidential election on December 19 would weigh against Kim firing a missile before then, said Baek of the defence institute. It would reduce the chances of economic aid from South Korea, harden the US stance against Pyongyang and embarrass the new leadership in China, Kim's main benefactor.
Naro Rocket
Success with the Naro rocket could bring long-term economic benefits of as much as 3 trillion won for South Korea via higher value-added exports and a share of the space-services market, according to the science ministry.
During the last launch in June 2010, contact with the rocket, which is presumed to have blown up, was lost within minutes of lift-off. On the first attempt in August 2009, a protective cover failed to properly separate from the satellite, causing it to overshoot its planned altitude.
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute is leading the project, in collaboration with more than 150 South Korean companies, including Korean Air Lines, Hyundai Heavy Industries and Doosan Infracore, the agency said on its website.
In April, North Korea failed to launch a rocket that it said was intended to carry a satellite into orbit. The totalitarian nation denied the launch was cover for a long-range missile test in violation of United Nations sanctions.
It disintegrated shortly after takeoff in a debacle that prompted a rare public admission of failure to the outside world. When North Korea fired a Taepodong-2 missile that crashed into the Pacific Ocean in April 2009, it claimed to have successfully placed a satellite in space.

Games That Could Have Been 99
Gamespot, to accompany a piece on the art of pitching a game has up a companion article on a few good pitches from talented developers that never quite made it into games. My favorite of the three, from Will Wright: "I've always been fascinated with airships, and I wanted to do a game about the Hindenburg. And it was originally conceived as a cross between Myst and a flight simulator, if you can imagine that. You basically wake up on the Hindenburg. You're all alone. It's flying toward Lakehurst, New Jersey. You can walk anywhere on the ship. You can turn lights on and off. You can steer. You can adjust the engines. But every time you come into Lakehurst, it blows up. And you have to figure out why, and it becomes like this weird mystery flight simulator thing. I'd still love to do that."

The symbolism of this vestment is darkness vs light and alternately darkness is on top. This could signify the battle between good and evil, but then there are twisted bars between the panels and there are dark triple teeth motifs on the sleeves and borders of this vestment. These have to be a visual 'Freudian slip', that unconsciously and unintentionally reveals the twisted and false beliefs being pushed by false shepherds, theologians and pagan religion inspired psychologists like Jung - that God, Father, Son, Holy Spirit are either evil, capable of evil and/or are a mixture of good and evil.
This is basically a vestment that only a toxic and dangerous priest would wear would wear in one of the various apostate denominations' synagogues of hasatan.

In cut and pattern it has a very Asian look and if it were made for an Asian-Christian congregation would be a perfectly appropriate blending of ethnic style and liturgical function.
If we in the west can wear vestments based on ancient Roman secular clothing, and the orthodox can wear vestments designed after Byzantine court dress, there is no reason our Asian brothers and sisters can't adapt their traditional styles for Christian worship.

Snow day! Fox31 claims an edge in the battle of the local TV snow reports
The competition has always been fierce, but now a local TV station is boasting about shaving seconds off its automated snow day school closing reports.
Channel 31 proclaims "FOX31 DENVER PROVIDES SNOW CLOSURE INFORMATION FASTER THAN ANY OTHER COLORADO MEDIA OUTLET." Using Nexus SchoolClosings, one of the handful of automated systems available to news outlets, KDVR and its website can report delays and closings first, the station claims.
The press release: "When a school administrator remotely enters a closure into our system, there is no delay before it is conveyed to our audience. New information appears on the air, on our web site and on our mobile app literally within 15 seconds," says VP of Technology David Harpe. "For our FOX31 Denver on-air viewers, we don't make them wait through a long, hours-old closings list to see the most recent changes. Our exclusive 'Just In' feature flashes a real time alert on screen every time a new delay or closing comes in. New closings are displayed first, followed by a comprehensive list of all closings for the area. With these technologies, FOX31 Denver viewers and KDVR.com visitors have the most up-to-date information throughout the day."
Longtime ratings and especially snow day kingpin 9News dusted off the claims of its rival like so much powder on the windshield. KUSA General Manager Mark Cornetta said, "We have the technology to do the exact same thing but chose not to." Because 9News prefers to alphabetize the list of school closings and add to the list as it scrolls around, "small schools could interrupt all morning. We've chosen not to use that feature."
Viewers are now free to clock the announcements down to the millisecond. Or do what most rational people do these days: reach for the smartphone or iPad by the bed and see what your kid's school is doing.

Artist: Kent Ullberg
Title: "Sailfish in Three Stages of Ascending"
Medium: Sculpture -Metal
Sizes: 30' x 6' x 12'; 6' x 20' x 5''; 5' x 10' x 2'
Year Installed: 1990
Venue: Broward County Convention Center
On the eastern plaza of the Convention Center, a black granite water fountain incorporates bronze sculptural elements representing the marine life of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. With leaping sailfish of 30' in height, chasing baits such as ballyhoos and mullets, the fountain design fulfills its role as a fountain as well as a free-standing sculptural installation. Water jet and lighting are coordinated and controlled by a computerized performance program.
"Dedicated to the Florida marine environment, this fountain represents a section through an ocean wave. On the water surface, the Sailfish is shown in a conceptual stop-action jump in three stages. Starting with the fish's dorsal fin, or "sail", the simulated action culminates with the regal, world famous fish leaping clear. On all sides of the fountain, other members of the underwater community emerge from the waves. On the east side, a school of Ballyhoo and Mullet."

THE Bendigo Advertiser has been overwhelmed by people rallying in support of Friday's Christmas tree lighting event.
Money, a stage, audio equipment, lighting, entertainment and offers to host the event were received yesterday.
Rob Clohesy of Bendigo Party Hire donated a stage for the event.
"It's great for the community and all the kids of Bendigo," he said.
"It's something that's pretty important and something we need to go ahead with."
Dewar Audio Systems owner Suzanne Dewar, who donated a PA system, said she was disappointed the event had been cancelled.
"I remember going to these sort of things as a child ... Bendigo needs this, it shows pure Christmas spirit," she said.
Mark Coffey of the Wine Bank also offered a PA system.
"I thought it would be shocking not to make something fun out of it," he said of the event.
"I think people donating services is the sign of a good community."
Bendigo Youth Choir artistic director Valerie Broad said the group was happy to help and noted the need to celebrate the festive season, and Phoenix FM presenter Anne Conway said she thought she would make a good MC.
"I just thought it was a great shame something like that wouldn't go ahead," she said.
Tina Chandler of Hey Dee Ho Music said she'd be happy to sing at the event and donate a large parachute for kids to bounce on.
"They absolutely love having a sing and a dance and it seems like a great event to get behind."
Julian Fisher of Apex Imagery will record the event and encouraged children to share a video message, and the Marist Brother Brass Band offered to perform.
George Flack, a long time member of the band and director of Flack Advisory, also offered a cash donation between $500 and $1000.
"Community – that sums it up in one word," he said.
"It's about the mums and dads and little ones.
"It's a season for everyone to be joyous and hopefully full of goodwill."
The final list of performers and logistics of running the event is still being finalised.

Some like it hot.
While the near-100-degree days may be miserable for many, the weather is just perfect for the produce that is coming into season right now.
�The hotter the temperature, the sweeter the fruit,� said Steve Frecon, of Frecon Farms in Boyertown. �This hot weather is just what we�re looking for right now.�
Frecon said that the rain the area received in June was good for developing the size of this season�s peaches, blueberries and plums. And this month�s heat has accelerated things a bit.
�Once it gets this hot, things start to ripen quickly. It happens with corn, peaches and blueberries � the different varieties start ripening closer together,� he said. �All the sugar that was developed in the earlier part of the season is concentrated when it gets hot. The fruit loves this weather.�
Frecon added that the early peaches had good flavor, but he expects the next varieties will only get better and sweeter.
�Now that we�re in the heat of July � the varieties will be bursting with flavor,� he said.
Andrew Frankenfield, agriculture educator for Penn State Extension in Montgomery County, said he has also seen some acceleration in maturity of area produce.
�Typically in our area, we don�t often see our own corn come in by July 4 but we can get it from Lancaster County,� he said. �But I had sweet corn by the Monday after the Fourth this year There was some corn tasseling by the Fourth, so it�s been right on track or early.�
Chris and Rob Fry, who own The Farmer�s Daughter Farm Market on Route 724 in Spring City, said this is one of the best growing seasons they have seen so far, and they hope the ideal conditions continue throughout the remainder of the summer.
While temperatures above 90 can stress some crops, Frecon said the fruit trees have not impacted.
�There has been no stress on the trees, only on the people that have to work on the trees,� he added, saying the farm has adjusted its work hours a bit because of the heat.
Chris and Rob Fry and their team get out into the fields early before the day gets too hot to check on their crops and to harvest a variety of vegetables.
Frankenfield said corn can be sensitive to temperatures above 90-degrees; because this is the time the plants will begin to pollinate. He said that if the temperature gets too high, there is concern among farmers that the plants may not pollinate.
Frankenfield said that what was consistent throughout the spring and early summer was moisture, which was a challenge for hay farmers and the wheat farmers in the area, delaying their harvesting seasons. The rain also delayed the start of cherry picking by about three weeks, according to Frecon. But now, Frankenfield said it appears soil moisture is adequate.
�Corn will curl its leaves to keep moisture in, and we haven�t seen that this week (with the heat). That tells us there is good moisture in the soil,� he said. �If we catch an inch of rain again on Saturday � I don�t think there would be many unhappy farmers. That�s about what it takes each week for the crops.�
Frecon agreed, adding that the fruit trees take most of their moisture from the first couple of inches of surface soil. �We want some gentle evening rain and no drought through the fall � that will be perfect,� he said.
The Frecon family has been growing and selling produce in the Boyertown area since 1944, expanding through the years to include a retail store, �pick your own� in the fall and taking fresh fruit to farmer�s markets throughout the region. Frecon�s also hosts an annual Bluegrass Festival � The PickFest and launched Frecon�s Hard Cider � farm fresh, handcrafted hard ciders made with Frecon fruit.
The Farmer�s Daughter Farm Market has been at its current location since 2002. What started in 1984 as a half-acre of sweet corn sold out of the back of a truck, has grown to more than 40 acres of sweet corn and about 10 acres of vegetables and pumpkins.

With so much focus on today's generation of superstar fund managers, the passing of Michael Hart last month went relatively unnoticed.
Hart managed the UK's oldest investment trust, Foreign & Colonial for 28 years from 1969 before handing the reigns to Jeremy Tigue in 1997. In this period he oversaw a rise in assets from £180 million to £2.3 billion, while the share price rose from 8p to 160p.
At the peak of his popularity around 500 investors would make the pilgrimage to the trust's annual meeting just to hear his stockmarket views.
The fan club ranged from Warren Buffett to Tony Blair, who both attended his lunches. However, Gordon Brown was among the few to turn down an invite - 'Unfortunately, he didn't seem interested in the subject at all,' Hart recollected following his retirement from the fund industry.
Hart had to contend with a number of extraordinary conditions in his career, including the 1970s oil shock, the 1987 stockmarket crash and the 1990s recession.
In an interview with the Financial Times in September 2008, 81-year-old Hart fondly recalled some of these extremities.
'I guess I started out as a naive optimist and never really changed all that much,' he told the paper.
'In 1974 stocks fell so far and so fast that everyone lost hope. But panic creates great opportunities and towards the end of the decline I presented a list of stocks I wanted to buy to the board. They were blue-chip stocks at bargain basement prices, so we agreed I would borrow some money and take a big bet on them.'
This basic approach, which he described as 'low risk nibble away', took him to all corners of the world to hunt down opportunities.
Industrial conglomerate GEC, was one of his most successful plays with a £300,000 investment worth £3 million six years later. He did have his fair share of disappointments too, including the ill-fated purchase of Eurotunnel shares.
Hart also had a few choice words for the hedge fund industry, which was growing in prominence towards the twilight of his career.
'There are some brilliant chaps now, hyperactive many of them. I was a bit dull and boring in comparison, more the steady type...I don't like the high fees and I can't invest in something when I don't know what they are doing.'
After leaving F&C Hart had a tumultuous spell as director general of the Association of Investment Trust Companies, quitting the role in March 1998 after just two months. The exit came after a major corporate governance row with Hermes over the F&C-run Brazilian Smaller Companies Investment Trust on which Hart had served as chariman.
'I felt terrible, and got really depressed for two or three years after that,' he said.
Hart left the industry following the experience, spending time watching cricket and working on charitable causes before his death on 28 May.
Did you invest with Michael Hart and if so what are your memories?

FAO and Uzbekistan agree to expand cooperation
3 April 2014, Bucharest, Romania – Strengthening cooperation with FAO and expanding FAO programmes in Uzbekistan – particularly on irrigation, water management and food safety issues – were the focus of FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva's meeting today with the Ilhomjon Nematov, Ambassador-at-Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan.
The meeting was conducted on the sidelines of the 29th FAO Regional Conference for Europe, which is the Organization's regional governing body for Europe and Central Asia, and where Ambassador Nematov headed the Uzbekistan delegation.
Nematov confirmed the Uzbek government's willingness to host a FAO Representation office in Tashkent, for better coordination of the technical expertise needed. He also invited FAO to participate in the International Conference 'Vegetable Growing, Horticulture and Viticulture, Source of Increasing Efficiency of a Food Programme', to be held in Tashkent in June.
The Ambassador also expressed the Government's interest in commemorating the International Year of Family Farming 2014 in Uzbekistan, especially in light of the fact that 95 percent of food produced in the country is produced by small farms.

Paul Thurrot and Rafael Rivera have some good shots of the new theme for classic applications in windows 8. Looking pretty good - too bad Microsoft didn't come up with a new icon set as well. Still, white window borders with a white taskbar and these new widgets and flat appearance... Nice.

Actually, computer mice provide quite a bit of haptic feedback when you use them. The shape helps you put your hand on top of the buttons, the buttons are designed to click noticeable when you press them, good wheels have a "rough" feeling that let you know precisely how much you have scrolled...
One of my main gripes against current-gen touchscreens is that they are usability disasters. No way to know that you are "hovering" something, your fingers either hide what's happening or moves on large distances constantely, and what they call "haptic feedback" is just an agressive vibration that occurs *after* you have messed up instead of a subtle feedback before and after clicking.

2008 Baseball
Manchester 14, Bluffton 6
Manchester uses nine-run sixth inning to defeat Bluffton 14-6
April 29, 2008
BLUFFTON, Ohio - Manchester College sent 15 batters to the plate in a nine-run sixth inning as the Spartans finished Heartland Conference play with a 14-6 victory over the Bluffton University baseball team on a cool and windy April 29, 2008. Bluffton fell to 15-20 overall and 7-12 in the HCAC while Manchester improved to 18-20 with an 11-11 mark in the conference.
Matty Miller drove a two-out triple to right center and crossed the plate when Danner Partridge singled down the left field line for a 1-0 lead in the first inning.
Bluffton knotted the contest thanks to a Manchester throwing error that allowed Tony Moore (Elida/Elida) to score following Tim Kay's (Alpharetta, Ga./Blessed Trinity) theft of second base in the bottom of the first.
Manchester put a pair of unearned runs on the board in the second. Jay Sheets doubled and scored on a Bluffton fielding error before Josh Buell tripled home Heath Williams for the 3-1 lead.
Despite loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the inning, Bluffton scored just one run as Colin Denihan got a ground ball double play that allowed Corey Conn (London/London) to cross the plate before a line drive to second base that ended the threat.
The Spartans added single runs in the third and fourth frames before Bluffton knotted the contest with three scores in the bottom of the fifth frame. Two Manchester errors helped Bluffton load the bases for Chris Bauman (Milford/Milford) who delivered a two-RBI single to right field. Jimmy McMonagle's (Ida, Mich./Ida) perfectly placed squeeze bunt down the first base line plated Tim Kay and tied the game at five.
Bluffton's hopes were quickly extinguished as the first eight batters for Manchester reached safely in the top of the sixth. The Spartans took advantage of three walks, two hit batters and seven hits, including a Jay Sheets triple, to blow the game wide open with nine earned runs which made the score 14-5.
Moore opened the Bluffton seventh with a single up the middle and he came around to score on McMonagle's base hit down the right field line, but it was not enough as Manchester closed the door and finished off its season sweep of the Beavers, 14-6.
Tony Moore went 2-of-5 at the plate with three runs scored and he is now two hits shy of tying Bluffton's all-time hits record of 168 hits. A.J. Ramthun (Springfield/Southeastern), Steve Roberts (West Salem/Mapleton) and Brett Howard (Toledo/St. Francis DeSales) all collected two hits for the Beavers. Bauman and McMonagle both drove in a pair of runs.
Danner Partridge led the Spartans with four hits while John Smolinski drove in three runs and Heath Williams scored four times.
Adrian Fritch (Edon/Edon) took the loss after giving up four runs on two hits in one inning of relief. He walked two batters and struck out two. Starter Dustin Zizelman (Rockford/Parkway) went four innings and gave up five runs on seven hits over four innings. Senior Brandon Freytag (Wapakoneta/Wapakoneta) worked three innings of shutout relief and limited the Spartans to just one bloop double while striking out two batters.
The Beavers wrap up their season with a three-game series against Anderson University this weekend. The first contest is scheduled to start in Memorial Field at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 2, 2008.

Cromartie wuz robbed.
Was the Aaron Maybin call BS? If the ball is intercepted and being returned isn't Luck viewed as a would be tackler? Why is knocking him down any different?
Cromartie wuz robbed.
Definite BS. The refs were ridiculously bad today.
The Reggie Wayne DPI was awful as well.
Possibly the worst call in the NFL ever!!!
Okay was just making sure I understood the rules. But great we now have a QB that is getting protected as a rookie. Irony being when Sanchez was a rookie Rex was losing his mind as refs just let defenders just tee off on him.
But I was at the game and they didn't show a good replay of the Maybin penalty, just checked it out and wow, what a terrible call. It was a solid block on a player that was close to the play. It wasn't like he was just looking for a cheap shot on the QB, it was a legit block.
No one at the game had any clue what that penalty was. The refs were horrendous today. Every play I feared there was a penalty. Worst was when Reggie Wayne fell down and Cro got called for PI.
Have you ever seen a player have 2 INT returns for TDs both called back for questionable penalties? That could only happen to Cro and the Jets.
if that was Vick getting creamed there is no way it would be a penalty.
Im pretty sure the refs knew they ****ed up, but they didn't want to negate the call and look stupid.
How can you have roughing the passer when a defender has the ball in his hands running in the QB's general vicinity?
We definitely got our money's worth on the Facemask penalty though. (Was it Coples?) About twisted Luck's head off...
The penalty wasn't for the block Maybin gave Luck. After Luck went down Maybin "gave him the business" so to speak. Supposedly you cannot see it on the replay, but after the two went down, Maybin threw a forearm to his head. Or so the story goes....
Mike Pereira @MikePereira
The hit on Luck was for a forearm shot to the head after Luck was on the ground. You can see it on the live shot only. Good call.
Collapse * Reply *Retweet *Favorite
Andrew Luck took some real shots yesterday. Obviously I agree that Maybin's block was perfectly legal but man, I think we roughed him pretty good for sixty minutes. Their coaching staff needs to be shot for having him in there still taking big hits with 30 seconds left on the clock and down by 20+ points. Stupid of them.
I agree with the interference on Cro with the 2nd INT.

Microsoft is the last among browser makers to react to the vulnerability. Everybody else has released patches to address some, if not all of the holes.
Seems the IE team is so small, they can only do is development on IE9; perhaps there is no other team. Maybe they're all working to make the latest Windows Mobile platform a rousing success.
Its a much slower, conservative company now that Bill Gates has left. And I don't mean that in a good way.
Hey, we are paying for "gitmo" (aren't we?)... may as well get some use out of it!
They'd only start slapping a Beta tag on everything like Google does. That would buy them a few years of delays. Then they'd lobby to get the law modified so their liability was limited to the price of the software. Then they'd say the kernel is what costs and the rest is free bundled stuff. At every stage they'll lobby and start lawsuits to delay things. Eventually its 15 years later and you've got some silly obscure law that protects nobody unless they've got the money to fight a massive software company (something the US DoJ doesn't have).
Far worse, the big proprietary players would do that but the small shops and free software would all fold up or leave the U.S. because they couldn't afford the legal fees.
That would only serve to drive the cost of software up. Is it not best to allow the free market to work? Those who want the guarantees can pay for it, while those who are willing to take the risk can use the software for less, perhaps even free.
I am certain that if you passed the appropriate amount of money in Microsoft's direction, they would be more than happy to accept liability for IE. Personally, I do not want to pay for that level of service.
How could anyone whine about the cost of software going up. Right now it's at rock bottom to purchase consumer software, more expensive software across the board would be a good thing assuming the money goes to the right people (haha).
The added costs would go to people like insurance companies who would assume more risk on behalf of the vendor for errors in the software. A lot of open source software projects would come to an end, because who wants to be liable for errors in the work they provide for free? Let the market decide. If liability is important, people will pay for it.
Get real, Microsoft's software is WAY overpriced. ALL of it is way overpriced; at least, for an average Joe buying the software outright at a computer store.
I paid over a hundred bucks for XP, upgrading from 98. I really felt ripped off. Not only did a lot of my old software no longer run, Microsoft "disabled" the app that came with my CD burner, saying it was "unstable". I'd had no stability problems with 98. What was worse, every morning when it booted it informed me that it had disabled this software, wh
Accepting a refund is different than assuming liability for a mistake in the product. I am not against refunds on software. Though I do realize it is a difficult problem to solve in the world of piracy.
If I buy a toaster and it won't make toast, I can get a refund. Why can't I get a refund for shoddy software?
Because you bought the software in the full knowledge that it was shoddy and sold "as is, no returns, no guarantee".
Because you bought the software in the full knowledge that it was shoddy and sold "as is, no returns, no guarantee".
Why didn't it say that on the box? You don't see "no returns, no gurantee" until you've paid for the POS and seen the EULA.
They have "lemon laws" [carlemon.com] for cars, why can't we have laws like that for software?
If I sell you a bucket of paint, but the bucket is empty, that's fraud.
Because there is no market. The customers don't have any choice. Where ever you go you will get Microsoft Windows and your "market" will drop support if you use anything else then Microsoft Windows. Many OEMs are going so far that they even will drop the warranty if you dare to install something else on your computer then Windows.
The government, the schools, the employers support this monopoly. Because they are all dependent on Microsoft Windows. The government and the schools failed to implement open stand
No, I had no choice, thanks to the Sony rootkit my daughter installed. It completely trashed Win 98, and I had lost the reg # for it.
I specifically bought it to run the Windows programs I already had. Had I known that Windows wouldn't run Windows programs, I'd have just wiprd the drive and installed Linux, rather than running it dual-boot.
What free market? You mean the market where I can go to Mediamarkt and get 99% of the computer, laptop with Windows 7? Or the free market in Saturn where 99% of the computer and laptop are with Windows 7? Or the free market at best buy where 99% of the computer and laptop are with Windows 7? Or maybe the free market with Dell, Hp, Samsung, Lenovo?
To what market I go if I don't wish to buy a computer or laptop with a more secure system?
A free market can only work if there are many vendors, which are competin
Surely the GP's proposal would, at least on one understanding, be beneficial to the functioning of the market?
There are, to my mind, two constructions of what the GP said. The first is the narrow suggestion that customers should be eligible for a refund if software doesn't match the designers claims. Given that the existence of a free market relies on the dissemination of accurate information, preventing the creator of software from making exaggerated claims to sell their product would seem entirely consist
How about only having liability on code which cannot be inspected? Though the lobbys would never allow that to pass.
Its a much slower, conservative company now that Bill Gates has left. And I don't mean that in a good way.
There was a point in time (not too long ago by normal standards - ancient history "Internet time") when Microsoft was very slow to respond to any security issue. That was very much in the Bill Gates era. The concept of full disclosure comes from that time. The subject of disclosure has been beat to death around here more than once so we'll avoid going down that path. However, some of the intents of the "full disclosure" concept is to shame the vendor and warn the user. Even "responsible disclosure" rules tend to have some breaking point where the bug gets exposed without vendor consent.
This is less of a turning point than a reminder of where we've been before.
Ballmer has a hard-on for Apple and Google. Instead of focusing on their core business which is providing servers and office automation to businesses they are chasing Apple and google with WP7, chasing the iPad, the iPod, Google search, and the Sony playstation. Arguably they've been successful at the latter, the others not at all.
Look at WP7 vs Windows Mobile 6.5. WM6x is in dire need of an overhaul. WP7 cannot replace it in a business environment at this point. We use windows mobile powered devices for out warehouse management apps. The replacement for ActiveSync, Windows Mobile Device Center, is worse than AcviecSync (if you can believe that) and is more consumer focused than business focused. WP7 is not designed for business apps - there is a huge opportunity for Google to invade the embedded business app space.
Ballmer needs to cease his juvenile, masturbation fantasies of crushing Jobs and Schmidt and get back to focusing on their core business.
According to the timeline [coredump.cx], Microsoft too has also released patches for some but not all the bugs. This final delay appears to be because they had problems reproducing the crashes, which I think is probably due to the nature of this tool which makes reproducing the exact circumstances difficult. I can sympathise because I have had to find hard to reproduce bugs is the past.
Still I think that is correct that it should be all made public now, considering that the bad guys have already got the code.
Yes, lets have the UN send one of its famous "Stern Letters Of Warning" to China that they've been very naughty and shouldn't do what every other nation or its citizens doesn't already do.
China has a permanent seat on the UN security council.
That being said, they have the ability to veto any substantive resolution designed to address their intrusion into Google's computer systems.
From the co,puterworld link:
"I have a conference call with MSRC [Microsoft Security Response Center]," Zalewski said in the timeline's note for Dec. 28. "The team expresses concern over PR impact, suggests that the changes made to my fuzzer code between July and December might have uncovered additional issues, which would explain why they were unable to reproduce them earlier."
MS, if you want better PR, stop worrying about PR and start worrying about code quality. For what your software costs, its performance is abysmal. You have Yugo software with a Lexus price.
I think I'd call it more "security by bliss" (from 'ignorance is bliss") Really they're not so much taking advantage of users' ignorance, but rather that they don't care. As long as their computer is functional, most users don't care if their machine is participating in a botnet and DDoS'ing or spamming.
Right, which is why most users are overly concerned about "credit card theft" when most infections are about spamming the shit out of people; and a large number of people who succumb to identity theft are actually taken by malware that installs itself as an "anti-virus" program but secretly records your bank transactions.
It's like walking through Baltimore City alone at night. As much as people are terrified by it, not everyone is out to kill you; that said, if you walk through Baltimore City alone at night regularly, you'll meet someone who is out to kill you. Paranoia is when you think they're all out to get you; rational sense is when you realize, no, they're not, but there's a significant risk of encountering someone eventually and it only takes one knife to stop your heart.
That seems a bit over the top, even for the anti microsoft crowd here on Slashdot.
Microsoft doesn't sell computers, and they make very little on OEM versions of Windows installed in the factory.
Last year I attended a conference where one of the talks was about browser security. The speaker demonstrated how easy it was to gain access to someone's PC when the machine was being specifically targeted. Some of the things he did:
1) Set up a rogue access point with open access and SSID name similar to the venue..
2) Set up a rogue DNS.
3) Set up a redirect page that installed demo software...
One of the things he mentioned was that if you are being targeted specifically, your system will likely be compromised. If you are not targeted specifically, it's trivially easy to find machines that can automatically be compromised.
Adding any apps increasing your exposure.
The number of unpatched vulnerabilities is staggering and it's only a numbers game when a slew of machines are needed.
Sitting in a Starbucks is a low-risk method because it's hard to trace. Hell, you can load automated software onto a hand-held PDA (iPaq? I ran Linux on one...) to do all the raping and infecting. The packets can be tagged with a different MAC address than your real device, making it physically untraceable; it's all in your pocket, and can auto-connect to wifi and do whatever, so picking you out of a crowd is harder than "find the suspicious person" since you just carry it around and don't go out sniping.
This works for MP3s and child porn and whatever the hell else too, btw. Assuming you know where and what to search (I assume torrents for MP3s, who knows for kiddy porn), you could have an automated program do all the relevant searches and store the results. When you get home, pop the device out and browse through the cached results... pick what you want, and next time you're out it'll find those things and download them.
For the obvious flaw, you can ban your own Wifi network and your neighbors', or have the program automatically search for certain networks (yours, your neighbors', etc) and decide you're "too close to home" and shut down. You could even have a separate daemon that handles wifi, and when it sees you're "too close to home" it prevents any wifi connections at all.
There's a lot of "I can have this here with me, but never physically do anything while connected to the network, and never use my own network" that can be done to hide your online presence. The same can be done for chatting on forums, sending e-mail, etc. The only thing you can't hide that way is real-time chat like instant messaging or IRC, because you have to twiddle the device; but for answering a forums post or blogs, you can have a program smart enough to deal with phpBB and V-Bulletin and Wordpress... it could let you record what you want to post, who to reply to, which post ID to reply to, the works... then when you're out somewhere, post.
Basically you're interacting from an alternate reality, one where you're pulled out of the real world; that interaction is transferred into the real world physically somewhere, but you're not present at that point and there's no cable running from there to here to draw a path to you. You'd have to use an innocuous device (a PDA most likely, bought in cash) and download the software from a MAC-shifted device on a public link to have absolutely zero trail (i.e. no evidence that you're even capable of this), but it'd be doable. Completely. It'd make for some interesting shit... maybe I'll write a sci-fi novella about the idea.
You mean the "Internet" doesn't cache all communication so that they can be pulled up easily by dumping the cache on someone's webcam to get the feed sent 3 weeks ago like they say on NCIS?
(Sorry, I always have a laugh when they start doing that...)
Didn't work for me until I turned off the 'block pop-up windows' in Tools-Options-Content.
So I'll keep that window pop-up blocker turned on I guess.

Once again, it's clear that fuzzing is really useful for testing security. Not that it's a be-all/end-all, but people developing secure software should be using fuzzers. It's unfortunate that this fuzzer's "design can make it unexpectedly difficult to get clean, deterministic repro"; without deterministic repros, it's often really hard to find and fix the problem.

The reason for this is because they want to sell an "unlimited" package to people who will only use 2GB/month.
So why not offer GRADUATED pricing levels? 2 GB/month for $x. 5 GB/month for $2x. 10 GB/month for $10x. You could even break it down to traffic that stays on your own network and traffic that reaches the Internet.
The reason for this is because they want to sell an "unlimited" package to people who will only use 2GB/month. Most people want to have unlimited traffic even if they have no concept of the amount of traffic they need.
In Uruguay, we have 2 ISPs: the state-run AntelData, and privately owned Dedicado (thanks to some shady 3rd world deals that created a duopoly).
The state run company is now advertising some tiered service levels (I'm writing this on the 1 Mbps ADSL with a 10 Gb/month soft cap with a surcharge if you go over that), and have some pretty good advertising detailing the amounts of stuff you can do with each service (the 1 Gb/month, 3 Gb/month, 10 Gb/month and 256 kbps and 1 Mbps unlimited services)

If you have a modern, and very cheap, Linksys router there is some very good (free, as in beer) 3rd party software you can use to reflash your router to be far more capable than the standard software it comes with. I think those are some of the abilities it includes.
I often use ssh/x to connect to work with p2p downloading at the same time. The ssh/x response is horrible. I'd like to be able to shape the traffic so my ssh/x connection gets absolute priority
Traffic shaping is the only way to really do that, but if you have a simpler goal, there is a quick, easy solution. The simpler goal is not to have ssh get absolute priority but to instead have good response most of the time. The easy solution to this is to use p2p software that allows limiting its own maximum b
I know in the US there are laws prohibiting companies from gimping their products like this. The specific laws escape me at the moment. Does Canada have anything similar?

Throttling is not acceptable for telecommuting.
Agreed. I regularly use scp to transfer files with nontrivial size between my home office and my employer's network; if my ISP throttled this traffic, then I wouldn't have any reason to pay for their highest upload speed. Fortunately I live in an area with multiple high speed internet providers.

There are reasons why p2p systems have started encrypting their traffic.
Yeah, well in my area both the cable and DSL providers advertise "DOWNLOAD MOVIES IN MINUTES!!!1!!" get all the greatest tunes! Lightning fast games blah blah blah.
Basically, saying they endorse lots of file sharing-like activity in the ads and not just implying faster surfing, but more, and bigger downloads as part of the point of their service.

Japanese space telescope is go
Astro-F to probe early universe
Japan this morning sucessfully launched its Astro-F infrared imaging surveyor from its Uchinoura Space Centre. The satellite, nicknamed "Akari" or "light" took to the skies at 06:28 local time atop an M-5 rocket.
The Astro-F's 500-day mission is to participate in the international All Sky Survey of the heavens "with much better sensitivity, spatial resolution and wider wavelength coverage" than the IRAS satellite - launched in 1983 by the Netherlands, UK and US. It's equipped with "a 68.5cm telescope cooled down to 6K, and will observe in the wavelength range from 1.7 (near-infrared) to 180 (far-infrared) microns" as the Japanese Space Agency blurb puts it.
Astro-F is in a Sun synchronous polar orbit at 745km (463 miles). It orbits the Earth "above the twilight zone" in around 100 minutes, passing over the North and South Poles.
The All Sky Survey aims to probe galaxies dating back to the earliest days of the universe. Dr Stephen Serjeant, senior lecturer in astrophysics at the UK's Open University, told the BBC: "This is a tremendous new window on the primordial Universe." ®

It's the skins you really want...and with the 350 RP from the previous issues, you can have a total of 900 given RP. Not too bad, if you ask me...you can even buy a top priced skin when it goes on sale. Btw anyone know why TF's magnificent skin costs 1820 RP?

Ima on a winning streak atm
Won my last 9 games
And have won 12 and lost 1 from my last 13 games (possible a little more but I wasnt keeping count). O_o
Oh and that game I lost, our team surrended early O_o They had bad moral and thought they were going to loose.
But my client updater stuffed up and when I open the launcher I get unkown error and it wont let me open the game. And if I select send error logs, it crashes.

Yeah it's on EU (I believe). It's really difficult to connect on EU servers these days (busy, queue over 9000, 30/40 minutes to enter PvP.net... ), so I played on my US smurf. I will be level 30 soon! Perfect time for the 2nd season of LoL.
900 RP is cool, I will take a Ashe or Sivir skin I think!

Can anyone tell the difference in player level based on their ELO? Mine's below 1400 atm but I'm still getting the same old "win or lose decisively in the first 20 mins" kind of match. Normal games have a good share of bitching too, so I no longer see the difference...

But I tend to only play premades, and they're usually with my friends, who have a lot more wins than losses [I have more losses than wins, unfortunately], so that might be why.
Are people just feeding? Or are teams good at taking advantage of snowballing? I'll play games where we'll be decisively winning by 20 minutes, but our team won't push or we won't have any damage late game, and we lose [in normal games].

The thing is that , if you didn't played ranked after your level 30 and then you just played normal games till 200+ , you decide to try ranked , you'll encounter "weak players" yeah cuz mostly players already play ranked after lv 30 so they don't have much skills than you and then don't be surprised to find lot of feeders , ragers , flammers etc.... and some people tend to try build like Shen AP , WW AD , Trist AP , Soraka AD .....
At the beginning , it's hard to getting on the top except if you carry your game or you have a better teamplay. 1200-1500 elo. If you win more then your chance to encounter better play increases , or if you lose more , you'll encounter players that are stuck at 1200-1400 elo even with 100+ games in ranked. Basically now , you're at the begining for the elo hell. I'll recommend you to play viable champs if you want to get out of this fast.
Jarvan , Noc , Irelia , Rumble(Ban) , Ashe(if played very well) , Vayne(dunno for her nerf)...
And make a better team compo.
Funny now how people try to make compo like the DH LOL. I always encounter Ashe/Sona/Alistar/Jarvan/Irelia/Vayne/Malz/Anivia/Soraka/Amumu....
Btw , Premades > Solo Q yeah.
Ow and , if people saw the base race at DH , in a ranked game , my team wanted to do it too after baron omg while the opponents killed dragon then rush 2nd bot towers.
My team decided to rush 3rd mid towers. I knew we won't made it , they had so much speed atk buff & true damage compared to our team & when we came for the 3rd tower , they already destroyed the 2nd & rush 3rd.
Guys , it could've been so easy to kill them at bot then end it...

Speaking of Dreamhack-inspired comps, I wish people in the US never realized how good a ranged carry + support lane is. Having to deal with a lane where trading damage will always be in their favor because they can heal themselves is annoying, and it's just as annoying to let the carry just sit there and farm. It's worse when you have one or two melee champs in your lane and can't harass the ranged carry without trading.
Well, I play passively and just chip away at people, so of course it'd be annoying for me.
I need to buy Caitlyn....

Laning really depends on champion types...champs like Singed or Tryndamere are better off going straight for the kill when paired against support champs, since the latter usually have lots of CC, range or AoE skills. On the other hand, a support team can't push a tank/soak team because they wouldn't have enough mana to faze them through healing/regen. Personal favourites:
Support - Zilean. Time bomb time bomb time bomb time bomb!
Soak - Mordekaiser. A true laner imo, raising E and W first gives room to harass and deter others from coming on you.
Tank - Galio. Nothing beats going trigger-happy and poking with this one.
Carry - Tryndamere. Watching your crit chance soar the less HP you have is actually quite fun...
Not a fan of AP carries, enemies with MR either screw your build or counter you hard.

Tryn is better off to jungle. I can make sure a Tryn won't ever see a creep before lv 6.
Zilean with flat AP rune is just retard, even 1 against 2.
And MR counter AP the same way armor counter AD, so I don't really see a big deal. How many people actually survive that Malz's combo?

My wininng streak ended at 10 games.
In a game we should of won, we were out ahead, 1 inhibuator down real early in the match... then Teemo went into lardedar mode and did hes own thing by himself not caring/listening to anyone else, then brand kept running off into enemy territory on his own and getting killed.
Most frustrating game to loose! Our base(double turrets) was under attack and Teemo was still up top farming!!

Ah I should also ask..
I sorta having a break from Irelia, and well I unlocked Jarven and have been playing him.
Anyone know any good tips or advice when playing him ? I sorta been trying to play Tank Jarven as I've been playing AD Irelia alot. So just for something different. Like a different game style.
Only had two or three matches so far, but I been building, boots (still unsure which kind), Ghost blade, then Frozen Heart, Frozen Mallet, Maybe Banshee/Force of Nature if the enemy has decent amount of AP champions.
His ult is kinda funny, was lanning with a friend and well when she tried getting away and ult attacked the enemy and she got caught in the arena and died.... Unintentioanlly got her trapped.... opps ? D:

Lane Jarvans I see usually go something like Regrowth pendant + pot, Philo stone, boots 1 --> merc treads later, Heart of Gold, Force of Nature, Warden's Mail as core. From there on you build depending on what your team needs, or as pure tank, what kind of damage the enemy deals.
As for me, if I'm not jungling, I usually play AP caster. Nothing more satisfying than bursting someone from full to zero as Malzahar, or AoE stunning the enemy team as Annie, or just be an annoying prick as Vladimir.
I actually like playing support the most, but considering most team comps are usually lacking in one particular area (tank, jungle, ap carry, ad carry; most especially first two), I usually don't get to play them. In fact, most of my ranked games are support (taric, soraka, zilean), until I got fed up by massive leavers/griefers/afkers like 4 months after season 1 started (this was before leaver buster + tribunal).
So yeah, can't say much about ranked, as I haven't played it in like a year, despite me started playing ranked as a level 20 (yeah before they increased level cap), around 200 ranked games, and still kept 1300 elo. XD

"Begin, the operation!"
So I've never posted here so I'm just going to jump in based on what's above me at the time.
I prefer playing... honestly whatever the team needs. I find that I like playing everything a little bit and can fill (if not good then at least competently), although I gravitate toward one's I'm good with.
If I had to pick a preference, I usually like playing either the carry or the tank or the support. I favor Alistair, Twisted Fate or Corki, or Healbot/Soraka (although once the Kayle rework comes around I'm going to play the crap out of her).
My ELO is terribad at like 850-900. I'm stuck in Elo Hell D: .

If it's a Jarvan-specific thing, I understand, but for tanks I know I personally stack two Negatron Cloaks and go for BVeil before I build a FoN since I don't really need the extra movement speed. Well, if I need the MR, anyway.
Edit: If you're building Jarvan tank but still want to build some damage, don't get Ghostblade/Frozen Mallet. Get Triforce and go straight for tanky items.

In the past several weeks, police have now arrested 14 people involved in drug delivery services in Brockton, Bridgewater and Whitman.
BROCKTON – Local police detectives have put a larger dent into a local drug-delivery service they say would bring heroin and crack cocaine to your community.
Police in the WEB Task Force, which includes officers from West Bridgewater, East Bridgewater and Bridgewater, announced Monday they arrested three more people in connection with their investigation into the delivery service.
In the past several weeks, police have now arrested 14 people involved in drug delivery services in Brockton, Bridgewater and Whitman.
The lastest three arrested were: Phiniess Macklin, 22, of 291 Grove St., Apt, 2, Brockton; Emmitt Ware, 24, of 58 Clinton St., Brockton; and Matthew Freeman, 46, of 524 Main St., Bridgewater, who were taken into custody Friday by members of the WEB Task Force, Brockton and State Police detectives.
Police followed a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Brockton into Bridgewater on Friday to make the arrest. Macklin was driving the car with Ware in the passenger's seat when they were stopped on Main Street in Bridgewater, police said.
Inside the car, police said they found 15 grams of crack cocaine and 11 grams of heroin, with a street value of about $3,000. Also seized was $400 cash.
Macklin and Ware are known to Brockton Police, Sgt. Det. Scott Allen said.
Freeman was alleged to have been involved in purchasing crack cocaine or heroin from Macklin and others, Allen said.
Macklin and Ware were charged with possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to distribute and conspiracy to violate the drug laws. Bail was set at $25,040 for Macklin and $15,040 for Ware.
Freeman was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws and held on $40 bail.
The arrests come as the region copes with an increased number of heroin overdoses.
