TTB Andrew interviewed Ben Braden a few days ago. Braden says he's up to 6'7", 325 lbs. and not planning on redshirting.
An Interview with Ben Braden
Good interview and good job of restraining yourself from ripping apart his game. I am just kidding. Braden's size is college ready, his foot work will be the determining factor in his future. Redshirting that entire class will create a log jam so I kind of like the idea of not redshirting all of them. That is provided they don't burn it with DG playing time.
Just because the kid says he doesn't plan to get redshirted doesn' t mean he won't be redshirted..not many kids come in planning to be redshirted
To be fair, he says this is what the coaches are saying, too. And given how thin we are on the O-line, we probably will want at least one of the Freshmen players who could play a backup roll in the up-coming season. That's not to say things can't or won't change depending on what he shows in practice, but it's not a stretch to think he will be considered for a backup right tackle instead of red shirting.
Is there any particular significance to your LOTR Theoden/Arwen avatar? Does this have something to do with your user name?
The woman in his avatar is Eowyn, not Arwen.
Good lord I'm a nerd.
Your manly avatar cancels out your nerdy post, I think.
I suppose I could make up some story about my daughter helping to save me from a wormtongue-like individual, but really it just that both my daughter and I are LOTR fans. I used to read her bedtime stories, and she started getting bored with the usual children's fare. When she was 5 or 6, I read her the entire trilogy and she loved it, begging for more every night. Yes, it took weeks, but she really got into it. Then I checked out the animated videos from the library. By the time she was 7 or 8, she already realized how ridiculous those versions were, and of course we saw the Peter Jackson versions when they came out.
Maybe if MGoBlog had been around in those years, I could have read from it instead, and she wouldn't have ended up a Spartan. Anyway. she's a proud graduate of MSU and now working on a Ph.D. in Chem E at North Carolina State. As you might be tipped off given her field of study, she is definitely not an irrational, couch burning Sparty fan, and we enjoy some good natured ribbing back and forth when football season comes around. When I started thinking about possible avatars I couldn't think of anything better than a LOTR reference.
Is it really worth reading "Lord of the Rings" to your kids if it means they'll grow up to be Spartans? It's a debate for the ages. And really, I don't think it will ever be solved.
From everything I've heard he has the size and athleticism. Sounds like he's been working in the weight room, is keeping in shape, and will be ready to train. Kudos to him, and I look forward to seeing him in the maize and blue.
Ben is huge, all of our linemen are massive-do you guys ever wonder how much food and beer these guys can put away? I wish I could see an eating contest with just the Michigan linemen. My buddies in college would hit Red Lobster during football season for the all-you-can eat shrimp. My friend Josh ate 193 fried shrimp and scampi. I Got up to 138 and felt like dying. I'm wondering if a kid this size could do 300-400 shrimp. For those of you who are still on campus, do you guys eat with the team/serve the team at restaurants?
I would hear the stories from the other cafeteria workers of the things that went on in the SQ players dining room. They have their own dining room for a reason.
Oh come now, you have to tell us some of your stories now! You can't just leave us hanging like that
I really enjoyed that interview, thanks Magnus. This kid seems like he has a lot of old school in him. I loved his line "I just eat" and I can't stop laughing at the visual of little hercules hurling the rocking chair against the wall as a kid!
We're going to have some serious battles for playing time on the OL the next couple years. I love it! It will be interesting who rises to the top and who falls behind.
Going forward, it is a good connection for Michigan. The Rams are consistently playing at a high level.
Eh. Rockford does well, but D-1 talent doesn't come around very often there. It's a good connection but it won't feed us like Cass has.
I live on the west side of the state, not to far from Rockford, and I agree that Rockford is an excellent program but it does not put out top tier D1 players very often.
Do you think Braden is athletic enough to play LT? Seems like we've had a tough time finding the next Lewan - Kalis is a G or RT, what about Magnusson? Tully Tillman seems like a potential LT, but needs at least a redshirt year technique wise so he doesn't see the field until '14 at the earliest.
Well, keep in mind that Taylor Lewan is the next Jake Long (nobody's words but mine), and there were 5 years between those guys being recruited (Long came in 2004, Lewan in 2009). I think Tuley-Tillman has the most potential as a future left tackle, but as you said, there are obviously some technique questions to work out in the meantime.
Braden has potential to play left tackle at some point in his career, but I think we're more likely to see him remain at right tackle. The guy who seems to be primed for left tackle from the 2012 class is Magnuson, with Blake Bars as a darkhorse candidate for the position.
I've never played/taught the OL, but how difficult is it for tackles to switch from left to right? With Morris, the RT will be the blindside tackle. Will that change things? I know that typically your LT (blindside) tackle is more athletic and more of a pass blocker while your RT (other side) is more of a mauler because if he gets beat the QB can see it. Can the two tackles just switch sides year to year? Is there more technique than that? Honest questions
Overall, the technique is pretty much the same. The issue is you get used to doing things a certain way, ie foot placement, keys, etc. Those keys and things are essentially the same, but they are mirrored. Some people can handle this, others not as well (or at least it takes time to get away from what they are used to).
I know there was one school recently (I think it was Alabama but don't quote me on that) that would essentially flip their tackle based on the play. That is, rather than having a blindside tackle and a front side tackle, they had something closer to a strongside tackle and weakside tackle. So it can be done, again, it's just getting used to it. Most RTs in the league were LTs in college.
with the strongside/weakside tackles:
"A thing I'm curious to see: Illinois does not have right and left on their offensive line, they have strong and weak. IE: they will flip their line down to down. I have never even heard of this."
Doesn't this get flip flopped with southpaw Shane? The RT becomes the blindside, but do the "specs" you're looking for in a tackle flip between LT and RT?
With Shane at QB typically your prototypical LT would be at RT and what you are looking for out of those players would flip. It's more of a blindside/frontside tackle thing, but seeing as about 95% of QBs are right handed it works to the convention LT/RT. It does get a little awkward at times though, especially if you're switching between QBs, as you don't want the linemen to get their keys and footwork confused. Michigan may stick with more of a conventional approach at first (and hope the tackles are interchangable enough) and work from there.
The other position that will have to get used to it are the receivers. It may sound like a very small thing, but when you are used to catching a ball with a certain spin all your life, a few drops occur when it hits your hands in a way you aren't used to.
He's a MONSTRO!! The kid is a beast and he is game ready.
The kid is no doubt an absolute freak of a specimen, but the thing that gets me excited is to hear about how hard he is working in high school to prepare for the next level. He has a bright future in front of him.
Our OL depth probably demands that he does not redshirt. A couple of our freshmen OL are going to be in the two-deep.
It is my opinion that Braden's tape is the best out of all of our incoming OL in both classes, and think he will be a monster for us. I also think the M fan faithful are sleeping on him.
And further, it really pisses me off that they've talked about about Diamond and Kozan, like spurned lovers, than they have about Braden, who will be better than both of them.
I do agree that Braden will be better than Kozan and Diamond. I was never a fan of either of them, although Kozan would have helped with the depth at center, I guess.
The main gripe I've heard about Braden is that me lacks the mean streak you want in an OL. Have you seen this too? Attitude is the hardest thing to measure, but sometimes it can be one of the most important characteristics.
I definitely agree that he lacks a mean streak on the field. Maybe he can develop that a little bit, but that lack of aggression is what knocked him down a peg or two in my estimation. I think he's in the second tier of linemen that Michigan brought in last season. He also has a fair amount of work to do from a technical standpoint because he didn't do a ton of pro-style pass blocking.
Aggression is not needed if he effectively makes the block at a dominant level. Lewan's aggression got him a ton of penalties... and a mean streak like a Richie Icognito, who was cut by the Rams for this got him stupid penalties, over and over. The term mean streak seems overused and not clear to many, maybe me most of all....... and Braden does what needs to be done...he annihilates the player, legally. No "mean streak" needed I guess.
The problem is that doesn't always necessarily finish blocks. I don't really see the "annihilation" you do, but maybe we've watched different film. He's a solid high school lineman, but I don't think we should go quite so far as to say he dominated or annihilated the competition.
Of all the OL recruits we had in his class and this new one... whose tape impresses you the most?
Kyle Kalis'.
Who would you put second? I personally would say Bosch and Fox (very close for 2nd) and then Kugler, Tuley Tillman and Braden (very close for 4th)
I'd like to see more of Fox's film, but he would be my initial pick for #2 and then Bosch at #3.
I wonder what he'll weigh as a senior? Will he just get stronger or bulk up to something like 340? He looks like a fairly solid 325 right now. He's a large dude.
I don't know that he'll get much bigger than 325. You can only get so big before stiffness, injury, and slowness become an issue. He'll probably just refine the size he already has.
I can't imagine playing hockey with this kid!! One check and I would be decapitated!!!
It's hard to keep up with them! I need updates like this to keep me focused on all of the great possibilities. This kid can be great.
Thanks for the update!
Did anyone else see the video of Tom with Ben Braden, he absolutely dwarfed Tom. The kid is huge. His lack of a mean streak can hurt, but I think the staff will find a way to get his fire burning.
Well . . . TomVH is pretty tiny. Jeremy Gallon would probably make him look like a dwarf.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Young What Kihl will give the talk, "North Korea-U.S. Relations: The Diplomacy of Denuclearization," on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. in Carnegie 208 at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free to the public, is sponsored by the University's MacArthur Chair programming with support from the departments of political science, international relations, and East Asian studies.
"Professor Kihl is a leading scholar on North Korea," said Zhiqun Zhu, associate professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell, who also serves as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Chair in East Asian Politics at the University.
"In his talk, he will examine the importance of denuclearization of North Korea, not only to the United States and East Asia but also to the world, and he will explain why the U.S.-North Korea relationship has been one of mutual hostility and diplomatic estrangement," he said.
A visiting scholar at Georgetown University, Kihl is professor of political science emeritus at Iowa State University and serves as editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Korean Studies.
He is the author of several books on Asian security and Korean politics, including North Korea: The Politics of Regime Survival with co-editor Hong N. Kim; Transforming Korean Politics: Democracy, Reform, and Culture; Peace and Security in Northeast Asia: The Nuclear Issue and the Korean Peninsula with co-editor Peter Hayes; and Korea and the World: Beyond the Cold War.
Kihl, who received his doctorate in politics from New York University, is the recipient of many teaching awards. He also has served as a distinguished visiting professor and Fulbright Professor at several universities in South Korea.

Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary (Large Print / Paperback)
Special Order (unlikely to be available)
Rediscovering the Original "Way" of Jesus the Christ
Leading Bible scholar Marcus Borg takes us on an incredible journey to discover who Jesus was, what he taught, and why he still matters today. In the definitive book of his career, Borg argues that how we see Jesus affects how we see Christianity and reveals a new way of seeing—a new perspective that can overcome the differences between the literalists and progressives, a path that emphasizes following "the way" of Jesus, the original name of the Jesus movement.
Praise For…
"Borg pours a lifetime of scholarship into this provocative overview of Jesus's life."

Does it seem like all your kid's pet hamster does is sleep? What about that lazy guniea pig? Or sluggish bunny? Perhaps your lethargic pet is just bored.
A recent study done by the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada found that caged pets can demonstrate signs of boredom if they are kept in less than exciting habitats.
The researchers took two groups of caged minks. One group was kept in a small, nearly empty space while the other group was given an "enriched" space with water for wading, passageways for running, objects to chew and towers to climb.
Each group was then given items to play with including objects that should scare the minks like a pair of leather gloves that were usually worn to catch the animals.
It was found that the animals in the empty spaces would avidly seek stimulation, a characteristic that is common with humans who are feeling bored. These minks approached the added items, even the gloves, three times more quickly and investigated them longer than the other group. They also ate more treats, even though they were given as much food as the other group of minks.
When they were not being tested, the minks in the empty cages spent their time lying down.
The authors of the study, which was published in the science journal, PLOS ONE, hope their findings will help encourage the development of better housing for small house pets.
In the meantime though, the study recommends you give your lovable little pets stimulation by buying them larger cages that allow them to roam and toys that will keep them active.
Maybe this video below will offer some encouragement to your pets who are suffering from a little ennui.

If Quinn is signed he will be brought in strictly as a backup. Sanchez is the better player. Quinn had a better OL, receivers, running backs last season and actually looked worse than Suckchez. I saw Quinn play against Tampa's bottom ranked pass defense and he looked like he didn't have a clue.
Quinn = Tebow at less than half the price with none of the baggage

The M/V Sam Simon to Join the Sea Shepherd Fleet for the Next Voyage to Antarctica
The rumors are true! The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is going to add a fourth ship to the fleet. The Sam Simon will soon join the Bob Barker, Steve Irwin, and Brigitte Bardot. Sam Simon generously donated the funds to purchase the ship and we have found the perfect candidate, in of all places – Germany! As chance and Costa Rica would have it, I happen to be in Germany and in an excellent position to survey and prepare the ship to join us on our return to the Southern Ocean to once again confront the illegal whaling activities of the Japanese whaling fleet. I wish I could elaborate on the ship but until it is secured, outfitted, and ready for Whale Wars, that information has to remain classified. What I can say is that former German-government-owned ships are meticulously maintained and kept in good running order. It will not be a problem to have the new ship underway in time for the voyage to Australia and on to Antarctica.
The Sea Shepherd crew intends to return to the Southern Ocean in a campaign to be called Operation Zero Tolerance. Zero Tolerance illustrates our objective of zero kills by the Japanese whalers and it is a title that makes use of the image of the Zero in Japanese history. Sea Shepherd is confident that four ships and two helicopters plus unmanned drones will give the Whale Warriors the combination of speed, range, strength, and communication abilities to accomplish this zero kill objective.
Four ships, four captains, and over 120 crew from around the globe represent a force to be reckoned with, and once again the integrity of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary will be defended by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Sea Shepherd is proud to include Sam Simon in the short and distinguished list of compassionate, dedicated, and concerned activists whose names have graced Sea Shepherd ships over the years. This list includes Edward Abbey, Cleveland Amory, Farley Mowat, Robert Hunter, Steve Irwin, Brigitte Bardot, Bob Barker, and now Sam Simon.
Sam Simon, co-creator of The Simpsons is a longtime champion of animals and a wonderfully compassionate human being. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is proud to have him on our Advisory Board and proud indeed to be launching a ship bearing his name. The Sam Simon will be taking a leading and important role in Operation Zero Tolerance in defense of the whales. Thank you Sam. We will make you proud of this ship and what it can and will accomplish.

Not for the first time during his Chelsea tenure, Rafael Benítez feels trapped in an "impossible" situation.
The interim manager takes his team to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon for the club's 54th game of a gruelling season and he is vexed by the 55th coming a little less than 48 hours later. Chelsea face Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-final replay at 12.30pm on Easter Monday.
"Physiologically, it's impossible," Benítez said. "The day after a game you feel really tired, but two days afterwards you feel even more tired. It's the reality. This second day will be really tough for everyone."
It stands to be the same for both teams and United would argue they have more travelling to endure. They go to Sunderland in the league on Saturday and the cup tie will be played at Stamford Bridge. United, though, do have the 12.45pm early kick-off at the Stadium of Light.
But Benítez is worried because there is rather less riding on United's trip to Wearside than his team's to Southampton.
United have room for manoeuvre at the top of the table – a 15-point lead is the fluffiest of cushions – while Chelsea dare not falter in the race for Champions League qualification. The feeling is that Sir Alex Ferguson will pick entirely different lineups against Sunderland and Chelsea, having earned the right to do so, but Benítez's hand is more forced.
"We can't play two different teams," he said. "I try to keep the level. The difference is that they are 15 points ahead, so maybe they can say, 'OK, we do that and see what happens'. We can't do that. We have to find a very competitive team for Southampton, with the other game in our head because we can't forget we have just 48 hours.
"I don't want to use this as an excuse because some people say, 'oh, he's making excuses'. No. The reality is that, because of their position in the table, they have an advantage and they will not have another [European] competition … they are not in the Champions League. For them, it's clear. The priority will be the FA Cup."
Benítez could not say which of the two fixtures was the more important to Chelsea. A top-four finish is the club's priority, but the Cup tie against United is do-or-die and steeped in A-list glamour. The margins are suffocatingly slim and Benítez's every selection feels fraught.
"We have to pick a team that can beat Southampton, but if I don't pick, for example, Ashley Cole – if I say Cole or [Ryan] Bertrand – if we lose, people say, 'why didn't you pick Cole?' If you win, nobody will say anything. But then, if we lose against United, somebody will say, 'you can do this or that'. You have to realise we have a lot of information [on the players] and, also, it's not easy to make a decision because it's impossible to be fully fit for the second game.
"For four months, we have been playing one game every three or four days more or less, we know how to handle this, but two days? It's impossible to have fresh legs if you play the 90 minutes against Southampton."
The Metropolitan police said Chelsea's Cup tie against United could not have a later kick-off time because of Fulham's league derby with Queens Park Rangers at Craven Cottage on Monday night, and the Chelsea schedule rumbles on relentlessly. They play Rubin Kazan at Stamford Bridge in the Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday night.
"We have two [clear] days before Kazan, so it will be the third day," Benítez said. "Four days is fine, three days is very close. With the information we have, some players are a little tired. But two days will be impossible.
When we played two games in three days at Christmas, teams couldn't cope with the intensity of the second game and you could beat them easily by changing players. When you have a good squad and you can manage [the players], the other team are physically below their levels.
"Sometimes you are not playing at 100% and still you can win because you are better than the other team. It depends on each player, each position and, also, the opposition." Benítez knows United are not the sort of team that can be rolled over at less than full power.

The Time Ephemerides software project consists of software and associated data to create, manipulate, and interpolate time ephemerides of the Earth (and potentially other solar system bodies). These time ephemerides consist of convenient approximations to relativistic time-dilation integrals which have been determined using numerical quadrature of quantities supplied by JPL ephemerides of the major bodies of the solar system. Time ephemerides of the Earth help to determine general-relativistic corrections for Earth-based clocks due to the time varying velocity relative to the solar system barycenter and time-varying gravitational field experienced by such clocks. Such corrections are fundamentally important since they help determine the independent variable of the JPL ephemerides, corrections to pulse-arrival times of pulsars, determinations of precise radial velocities, interpretation of spacecraft-ranging data, etc. For important background information on time ephemeris calculations see this paper. For example, equation 3 of that paper defines the relativistic integral approximated by the various time ephemerides of the Earth.
The Time Ephemerides software is divided into the following subprojects:
The ephcom2 software project is a major revival of the ephcom1 software for manipulating and interpolating ephemeris data in standard JPL ascii and binary forms. The ephcom1 software was last released under the LGPL by Paul Hardy in May 2004 at the ephemeris.com website. The ephcom2 software fixes several important bugs (and many minor bugs) in ephcom1 and adds some useful additional functionality (a convenient Fortran interface and a CMake-based build and test system). The ephcom2 software is licensed under the LGPL. For a more detailed look at ephcom2 please see here.
The timeephem_generate software project contains software to perform the necessary quadrature of the time-dilation integral discussed above based on data supplied by a particular JPL ephemeris. The result of these calculations is an ascii version of a time ephemeris which is similar in form to the ascii form of the corresponding JPL ephemeris.
The timeephem_interpolate software project contains software to manipulate and interpolate the ascii time ephemeris data supplied by the timeephem_generate project.
The timeephem_generate and timeephem_interpolate software have been used previously to calculate the TE200 and TE405 time ephemerides (corresponding to the JPL ephemerides DE200 and DE405) that were discussed in the above paper. Both software packages are being modernized (including a new CMake-based build and test system) and will depend strongly on ephcom2. Both software packages should be released in the forthcoming months under the LGPL.

The second generation of the amPlug has been significatnly improved, especially the signal quality. Every model offers 3 different amplifier simulations and the rotating mechanism of the plug was reinforced.
The amPlug Bass also possesses, next to the "Bassilator" circuit for more power and low end, a brand new rhythm section. This is equipped with various new patterns and is perfectly suited for practicing on-the-go. Additionally, the input level can be adjusted for any electric bass via a switch.
Due to the new, automatic power-off function of the amPlug 2 shuts itself down automatically after 30 minutes without receiving a signal. This extends the battery life of one charge up to 17 hours. Naturally, the second version is also equipped with an Aux input.
Compact headphone amplifier
New Vox Bassilator circuitry
Selectable Input-Gain (Hi/Mid/Lo)
Integrated Rhythm-Player
9 different styles: Pops, Rock, Shuffle, Jazz, Funk, Skip, Samba, Special, Click
Aux Input for MP3 Players for example
Automatic power-off
Up to 17 hours battery life
Its made in Japan but the quality doesnt feel so good in hands.
Aux in amplifies just a bit the connected audio source.
There is no master volume, just gain, but with 3 additionally different input levels. Each level is connected to a different led color
Green=full signal
pale red= attenuation
full red=further attenuation
Hence this tool works good with high output electric basses, and it shows a very clean sound overall.
Each and every drum machine loop can be adjusted in time signature (but just by ear) and sound volume.
It does what it says, the quality is not top as it is made from plastic and can easily break if you are not carefull, but it is very usefull and best for travelling.
Awsome sound and great performance.
Got this to learn base (I am a guitar player)
My only complaint is that the on/off button is rather small and you tend to miss it if you are not looking at it.
It really pays off no doubt!
Works fine for clean guitar sound as well, I preferred the rhythms over the effects, there're only 6 variations but it's enough for practicing.
Craftsmanship is good although for me an unattended torque made the jack support to get lose, I glued it back and works fine, my fault though.

CyberKnife® is unique in that it uses a linear accelerator mounted to a
flexible jointed robotic arm to provide up to 1,200 different angles for physicians
to reach a variety of tumors both benign and malignant. Surgeons synchronize
CyberKnife® with patient movements, including breathing, to allow pinpoint
radiation treatment even on moving tumors.
The extreme accuracy of the CyberKnife® is unsurpassed, lending it the ability
to deliver high precision radiation to the tumor while avoiding the healthy
tissue surrounding the tumor. The addition of the CyberKnife® Radiosurgery
Center, located in the Mercy Medical Plaza, offers tumor patients new treatment
options that were not possible in the past. Initial uses have been for brain
and spinal tumors, but CyberKnife® can treat tumors anywhere in the body.
"Radiosurgery is by definition predicated on accuracy. The CyberKnife® is
capable of sub-millimeter accuracy. Better accuracy means a lower dose of radiation
to nearby healthy tissue, and this means fewer side-effects for the patient," said
Richard Deming, M.D., medical director for the CyberKnife® Radiosurgery
Center of Iowa.

The Government of Nepal, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) jointly launched the "Ecosystem based Adaptation in mountain ecosystem in Nepal (EbA)" Project today. The project aims at implementing an emerging approach to help people to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change.
The project document was jointly signed by Mr. Harihar Sigdel, Joint Secretary and Chief of Planning and Human Resources Development Division, Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) on behalf of the Government of Nepal and Ms. Shoko Noda, Country Director, UNDP Nepal on behalf of the EbA partners UNDP, UNEP and IUCN for 3 years starting from August 2012. The Secretary of MoFSC, Dr. Krishna Chandra Paudel was also present in the signing ceremony.
Speaking at the occasion, Joint Secretary at MoFSC, Mr. Ram Prasad Lamsal expressed that the ministry is willing to join hands with UNDP, UNEP and IUCN for future endeavors as well.
The USD 3.3 million project, funded by the Government of Germany, will be piloted in the Panchase area of Nepal which spans across the Kaski, Parbat and Syanja districts in the western part of Nepal. The project will strengthen ecosystem resilience and reduce the vulnerabilities of mountain ecosystems and their communities to the impacts of climate change.
Speaking about the unique opportunity that this project will provide to Nepal, Country Representative of IUCN Nepal, Dr. Yam Malla said, "Lessons learned and outputs of the project should be shared widely, not only at the community and national level, but also internationally."
Addressing the ceremony, UNDP Country Director Ms. Shoko Noda said, "Environment and energy, and climate change is a very important area of UNDP's work." She expressed UNDP's commitment for continued support for the effective and successful implementation of the project. "I am confident that the project outcomes will be valuable for future climate adaptation initiatives of the country, and will also contribute to national policies and strategies," she added.
Dr. Krishna Chandra Paudel, Secretary at MoFSC highlighted the significance of the project in the current context as the recent Rio+20 Conference has laid significant emphasis on adaptation. He also stressed that cooperation at local as well as regional and national levels is important for the successful implementation of the project. "From this project, we can achieve not just the anticipated results but even more if our partnership and collaboration is strong", he said. He further emphasized to carry out baseline study of the project site so that the achievements made by the project interventions can be measured.
The project is possibly the first project focused on Ecosystem Based Adaptation in mountain region, therefore, it provides unique opportunities for experimental learning between regions and among countries with similar landscapes. In addition to Nepal, similar initiatives are being implemented in Peru and Uganda.

That's not quite as much ice as the previous "big one", and I can see you're still online. Did you loose power at all?
I still remember hearing the transformers popping all around my neighborhood- Hear a pop that kinda sounded like a fireworks mortar, then about 15-30seconds later the lid would land in the street. Then the substation up the hill from the library went off, lit up the sky and you could feel the rumble in the ground. Wild night.

Marty Mornhinweg wants to be an NFL head coach again, but now may not be the time.
It appeared all but certain that the Eagles offensive coordinator would be left out of the discussion of possible head coaching candidates this off-season. A number of teams had openings -- some you would think might be interested in Mornhinweg -- but never once was his name mentioned in the usual chatter from the media gallery.
In talking with Mornhinweg recently I was under the impression that he was OK with that. There was the murmur of a drumbeat for the former Lions coach to get another crack at a top job last January, but it faded away when a report that Mornhinweg was to interview for the vacant Browns job proved false.
Last year should have been the year for Mornhinweg. Michael Vick's transformation, under the coach's tutelage, was one of theNFL stories of the year. The Eagles set franchise records in points and total yards. Mornhinweg was eight years removed from the debacle in Detroit that general manager Matt Millen co-authored.
But he didn't even get a sniff. And after this season's regressions -- the Eagles', the offense's, Vick's -- there was no way Mornhinweg was going to get a whiff of an opportunity. And, I think, he had accepted that and, perhaps, even welcomed it. He's loyal to Andy Reid and next season, obviously, is an important one for the Eagles head coach.
And then there is Mornhinweg's family situation. He has a daughter with another year of high school and a son with another year of grade school. His eldest son, Skyler, is moving on to college -- possibly to play quarterback for Penn State -- but he may prefer to wait a year before uprooting his family. (Which he may have to do if the Eagles miss the playoffs again next season.)
That being said, I think it would be hard for Mornhinweg to turn down a head coaching opportunity if one presented itself, especially the one in Indianapolis.
When Ryan Grigson was named the Colts' new general manager on Wednesday some were suddenly connecting the dots that would lead Mornhinweg to Indianapolis. Grigson, as some of you may not have known but probably do now, was the Eagles' director of player personnel. His dealings with Mornhinweg were limited, but they had an occasional working relationship. If Grigson were to look for a new man to lead the Colts, the thinking went, why not Mornhinweg?
He has head coaching experience -- albeit two forgettable years in Detroit. He's run an offense that consistently puts up franchise highs in yards and points. And, perhaps, most important, he has turned many young quarterbacks into successful pros. And with the Colts sure to expend the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft on Andrew Luck, Mornhinweg would be the perfect coach to spearhead the Stanford quarterback's development.
There is some merit to the speculation.
But there are obvious obstacles. For one, the Colts still have a head coach. His name is Jim Caldwell, and while he certainly is on the hot seat, he is only two years removed from a Super Bowl appearance. And it's not like working with quarterbacks is something alien to the coach. Caldwell was a quarterbacks coach in Indianapolis for seven seasons before he became head coach, for one season in Tampa Bay and way back when for seven seasons with Penn State.
He can't take credit for Peyton Manning's development, of course, and Penn State has a dubious history with quarterbacks, but Caldwell surely aided Manning in some way, and he was with the Nittany Lions when a young Kerry Collins was on the roster. Mornhinweg may have a greater track record in nurturing quarterbacks (Brett Favre, Jeff Garcia, Michael Vick), but it's not like Caldwell is some schlep in that department either.
There is the belief that Grigson may want to bring in his own guy. I'm a true believer in the axiom that a head coach and GM have the get along and have the same philosophy for a team to be successful. We've seen the casualties of differing personalties in Kansas City and other NFL outposts. But let's say Mornhinweg is Grigson's guy -- and that's quite a leap -- is the new Colts GM really going to be the one to make a coaching change?
Probably not. Caldwell's future ultimately lies with Jim Irsay, one of the more hands-on owners in the NFL, and if he goes a replacement will likely be picked by Irsay. Maybe Mornhinweg could end up being Irsay's choice, but it would seem to be a long shot.
I know some Eagles fans that would welcome his departure. Since the end of the season I've received many e-mails, tweets and messages from fans looking for various members from the Eagles organization to go. In order, the list probably goes like: 1. Reid, 2. Juan Castillo, 3. Howie Roseman, 4. Mornhinweg.
The Eagles offense did not have a great season. They set another team mark for yards and first down, but they were near last in turnovers and below average inside the red zone. Mornhinweg's play-calling was also not at its best. Abandoning the run with a 20-point, second-half lead against the 49ers immediately comes to mind.
And then there was Vick's step back. A lot of the blame falls on the quarterback's shoulders, but Reid and Mornhinweg share some of that responsibility.
Still, basking in Mornhinweg's departure should he leave would be a case of not knowing what you had until it was gone. In his six seasons as the Eagles offensive coordinator, the Eagles offense has finished second, sixth, ninth, eleventh, second and third in total yards and sixth, 17th, sixth, fifth, third and eighth in points.
If Mornhinweg were to go, the currently unemployed Brad Childress could return to the Eagles as offensive coordinator.
Or maybe Reid solves his defensive coordinator problem by placing Castillo in charge of the offense.
That was a joke.

Some of these things are embarrassing not to know, but in some cases, I think these people should be embarrassed to be embarrassed. It's not embarrassing not to know the difference between a sweet potato and a yam. It's more embarrassing to make a point of distinguishing the two. People call sweet potatoes "yams," and a "true" yam is something else. So what? At some point the misnomer becomes an alternate name. How many technical plant names do you worry about getting right?
At an early age, I developed the fear of being embarrassed about not knowing things, so I would steer clear even of asking about things I thought it might be embarrassing not to know. And by early age, I mean about 6. I did not like adults laughing at me when I got things wrong. Decades later, I realized they were just enjoying cuteness. Ah, the amusement I denied them as I denied myself information.
Embarrassment is way overrated. As Bob Dylan said:
King Kong, little elves
On the rooftops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the makeup man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is embarrassed
And I must be gone

After Llanelli shocked their pool rivals and beat Moseley 40-17 at Parc y Scarlets to progress to the latter stages, Llandovery need just one point to join the west Wales side in the last eight.
With the Drovers five points clear of Saturday's opposition in second place, Lewis' men are favourites to progress and must play with confidence according to club captain Lloyd Phillips.
"It might be unlikely but at the end of the day Nottingham can still qualify so we can't play safe," he said.
"We need to start fast, get a lead and hopefully hang on."
The Drovers' brilliant league form has dropped a little since Christmas but the carrot of a place in the quarter finals is huge and they know a win would secure a home tie.
Phillips, who will miss the game with a dislocated shoulder suffered in an earlier round of the cup added: "Recent results haven't been as we would have wanted but Sunday is a massive game for the whole club.
"We struggled at times earlier in the season but we now have players who can come in and add strength in depth. A number of players have taken their chance, Adam Warren is an example of that and now he's in the Wales Under 20 side. Along with Warren, scrum half Rhodri Williams is also on Wales Under 20 duty this weekend.
"But I'm confident the team can get a win on Sunday - we just need to go out there and play with confidence."
There was a significant boost to Llandovery's hopes this week when centre Matthew Jacobs won the Principality Premiership Player of the Month award for January and he starts at outside centre with James Garland and Lee Rees at half back.
In the other British & Irish Cup games to take place, Cardiff face near rivals Bristol tonight with the English Championship side favourites to progress to the quarter finals from Pool 1 while Aberavon, who have been in improved form of late, travel to Rotherham.
Meanwhile in the Premiership, there are four games taking place this weekend with the highlight being a Gwent derby clash between Bedwas and Cross Keys.
Both sides go into the game on the back of disappointing results in the SWALEC Cup and will be looking to bounce back at the Bridge Field.
Bedwas make a number of changes from their cup defeat to Carmarthen Quins. Stuart Thomas starts at full back with Ethan Davies with the Wales Under 20 squad. Matthew Pewtner starts on the left wing in place of Mathew John while Simon Grainger returns to the back row to lead the side.
James Thomas starts in the second row in place of Phil Rees who drops to the bench with Ian George at loose head prop.
The two sides are separated by just four points with both hoping to keep up the pressure on league leaders Pontypridd. Bedwas secured a narrow 31-28 win when the two sides met earlier this season but with Keys welcoming back Rhys Peebles and Phil Williams from injury, they will be hoping to avenge that defeat.
At Sardis Road, Newport will be hoping to secure an unlikely league double with a win over Pontypridd. The Black and Ambers shocked the league leaders at Rodney Parade earlier this season but will be without Scott Sneddon who is out with a fractured arm. Tom Hancock starts at fly half and is partnered by Rhys Downes who will be facing his former club.
The home side continue to mix and match in their selection policy with Wales Sevens returnee Adam Thomas slotting in at full back, Dai Flanagan at fly half and youngsters Owen Jenkins and Joel Raikes both making a comeback from injury.
A new front row of Stuart Williams, Darran Harris and Chris Phillips will be utilised with veteran flanker Wayne O'Connor stepping into the back row.
In the other two games to take place, Swansea visit Carmarthen Quins as they look to move off the bottom of the table while on Saturday, Bridgend host Neath at the Brewery Field in an early kick off (11.30am).
Last weekend the two clubs experienced contrasting fortunes in the SWALEC Cup, Neath knocking out holders Cross Keys while Bridgend lost to championship side Bargoed.
Neath coach Patrick Horgan said: "I thought we were magnificent last week and the game had everything - it was fast, all-action stuff but we all realise that there can be no resting on our laurels. Bridgend is always a big challenge, all the more so after their defeat last week which will have disappointed them.
"We must push onwards and keep improving. Earlier in the season, Bridgend messed around with our scrum and stifled us at the contact area so we will need to counter that if we are to play with the style we want to."
Principality Premiership:
Bedwas vs Cross Keys (Friday KO 7.15pm)
Swansea vs Carmarthen Quins (Friday KO 7.15pm)
Pontypridd vs Newport (Friday KO 7.15pm)
Bridgend vs Neath (Saturday KO 11.30am)

Bristol vs Cardiff (Friday KO 7.55pm)

MAGIX: Easy video editing for everyone
Easy video editing is especially important for beginners.
Someone who is just starting out will often spend a lot of money on technologically savvy camcorders, not realizing that most movie projects require some form of post production on the PC to achieve the desired quality. Digital post production is just as important for amateur movie makers as it is for video pros: it polishes up a movie's look and turns it into something people will want to see. Unfortunately, beginners have traditionally shied away from editing their video recordings, considering it too difficult a task. Here's where software specialists MAGIX have found the perfect solution: MAGIX Video easy, a software program specifically designed for easy video editing.
This software program guides users through all the steps needed to create a perfect movie, helping them exploit the full potential of their recordings in the easiest way possible. In a deliberate attempt to keep things as simple as possible, the program interface is clearly laid-out and omits buttons that would only confuse users. All steps from importing the raw footage to exporting the finished movie to DVD are explained in easy-to-understand tutorial videos. The first step consists of transferring the recorded video material to your PC. It can be imported directly from the camera, even in high resolution as HD video. After you've imported the material, you can start removing individual scenes and edit image and sound. The program makes a point of not overwhelming users with functions and design elements; on the contrary, only the editing steps necessary for achieving perfect results are presented.
Easy video editing with MAGIX – the easiest way to make a movie
Easy video editing is the guiding principle of Video easy, which lets users obtain impressive results by means of small and simple changes. Once you have modified your movie with video editing and it has the desired sequence of scenes and atmosphere, you can export it to DVD with a simple mouse-click and enjoy it at home with friends. Alternatively, you can save your movie as a file in the desired codec on your PC. This is how easy video editing with MAGIX not only lets you make creative movies, but also offers just the right output option for everyone.

Everybody at some time struggles with weight problems. You are not alone.
Before you start on your exercise regime to lose weight buy yourself a nice notebook! If you are to succeed you need to track your progress. This is a wonderful motivating strategy and it also gives you encouragement to carry on. Remember too that you are in competition with nobody but yourself. We are all different and approach our problems from a different perspective.
Walking is an excellent exercise to help you to lose weight. Of course you must use it in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet. This does not mean that you have to buy special foods or follow restrictive diets. Make sure you eat a balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables. Watch your intake of sugar and carbohydrate and exercise daily.
A pedometer, which can be bought in sports shops or on line is a wonderful tool for keeping track, Buy a simple on which does not need much programming.
Rule your notebook as illustrated and record the readings from your pedometer daily. Every step counts so put on your pedometer first thing in the morning. Your aim is 10,000 steps daily.
Date Steps Time Distance Calories
Walking helps you build muscle which in turn speeds up your metabolism which will burn fat more easily. Walking of course has other benefits. It reduces your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes type two and colon cancer.
Losing one pound per week is a realistic goal. Remember if you lose weight too fast it is very easy to put it back on again. When we eat we stack up calories to give us energy to carry out our normal daily tasks. If we consume more calories than we are able to burn off through activity we gain weight.
One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. If you are to lose one pound weight you need to burn that many more calories than you eat in a week or 500 calories per day. If you weigh 11stone ( 154 lbs) and you walk for two miles at an average walking speed of 3 miles per hour you will burn 163 calories.
To lose walk by walking you will need to walk a little faster, a little longer than you might normally chose to do but the rewards are worth it. Work on increasing your distance before you work on increasing your speed. When you walk faster you use your arms more using more muscles. This burns up more calories. To lose weight you either have to eat less or exercise more or a combination of both.
Once you are able to walk for one hour daily without much effort you can think of increasing your speed. Walking faster will burn more calories. A good way to start walking faster is to take a point in the distance about fifty yards from where you are and then speed up your walking until you reach that point Pretend you are rushing for the bus or for an appointment!. Then slow down as long as you need to and repeat. In this way you increase your stamina and speed gradually.
Remember every calorie you burn counts and every long journey starts with one step. Enjoy your walking and your new shape!

Submission + - Valve's Steam License Causes Linux Packaging Concerns (phoronix.com) 2
skade88 writes: With the Linux Steam beta giving Ubuntu and it's large user base all the love, other Linux gamers are understandably wanting to let in on the fun. For the beta, Valve has provided Steam as a Debian package. Many hungry Linux gamers have reported that they have have Steam running on their fav. distro, but that still leaves the legal debate. What is the legal threshold needed to get Steam in the repos of your fav. flavor of Linux? Will Valve's one-size-fits-every-OS license be flexible to work on Linux or will it kill/Delay the dream of a viable gaming world for Linux? We are so close to bridging the last major hurdle in finally realizing the year of the Linux desktop: Gaming. Lets hope the FOSS community and Valve can play together so we all win.

via Mosque plan called too large for rural Howard County – baltimoresun.com.
Leaders of the Dar-us-Salaam community in College Park have been looking for years for a new home, a place for a school and a mosque close enough to be convenient for members living in several counties. They've scouted hundreds of spots and looked closely at a handful, and now they think they've found what they've been looking for in the rural western section of Howard County.
The 66-acre former home of the Woodmont Academy, a Catholic school in Cooksville, looks just right to the Muslim community leadership, with buildings already in place and plenty of undeveloped land for parking and a new mosque to accommodate thousands of worshippers in the decades to come. To many of the people who live nearby, however, it seems all wrong, a poor fit for a rural community weary of battling what they consider encroachments on the quiet way of life they've chosen.
Some remember the "Stop Woodmont Academy" signs sprouting on lawns 12 years ago, when the school staked out a spot in a residential area a few miles from where the project was eventually built on Frederick Road. Now there's a "Preserve the Woodmont Academy Land" Facebook page; a recent routine homeowners association meeting turned into a session on Dar-us-Salaam that drew a couple of hundred people; and residents talk of fighting a project that to them seems too large for an area of horse farms and homes.
"That's not what rural, country land on wells and septic was created for," says David Yungmann, who lives in the Carriage Mill Farms community in Woodbine, about a mile west of the Woodmont site. "We're constantly defending the rural environment, the rural zoning, which is in law."
Minhaj Hasan of Catonsville, a board member and project manager for Al-Huda Inc., which runs Dar-us-Salaam, is aware of the nascent opposition and says the organization's plans may be misunderstood. He says the project is more modest than the rather grandiose descriptions that appeared a few months ago in an Al-Huda newspaper.
"They are rural-type people, they want a quiet place — we understand that," says Hasan, who graduated from Oakland Mills High School in Columbia. "We want to keep it green, we don't want to pave over it."
As residents are taking steps to organize possible opposition, the project is in its early stages.
The corporation has not filed any plans with the county, but Hasan and other representatives have talked with Planning Director Marsha S. McLaughlin and members of her staff. They have an engineer studying whether the project would work, and they have a contract to buy the property for $8 million, contingent on getting zoning approvals by the spring.
The Dar-us-Salaam community is now trying to raise money to buy the land, pursuing a local, national and international effort, according to the organization's website. Hasan declined to say how close the community is to the goal.
The project was announced in Al-Huda's newspaper, The Muslim Link, in August. The headline said the new center could be the "Largest Islamic Project in America," and the article described plans for "three seven-story buildings" and a five-sided mosque around a circular courtyard. Another Muslim Link article now posted on the "Preserve the Woodmont Academy Land" Facebook page mentions an underground parking garage, and says the project "could change the Western Howard County landscape for years to come." A Muslim Link article last month reported that Dar-us-Salaam was hoping to win approval for a mosque that could accommodate 2,500 to 5,000 people.
One of those newspaper articles here:
Imam Safi Khan said the decision to move to a much larger property in a rural area was dictatedin large part by Dar-us-Salaam's long term vision to "build a community that can showcase Islamin action." Dar-us-Salaam's current projects include religious, social, media, youth, health, and business services and entities.
"We have to look at our community's growth in terms of the next 50 years to 100 years, not just 10 or 20 years down the road. This is an investment in the future of the community, for the Muslims who are here long after we are gone," Imam Safi Khan told about 200 community members who came to a Sunday, August 5 walk-through and town-hall meeting about theproperty.
A conceptual drawing of the future campus is available on the project's website http://www.homeoftheheart.org and features three seven-story buildings and a large five-sided masjidaround a circular courtyard. The concept plan also shows a stream and garden going around theproperty, walking and bike paths, a 10 acre farm, a lake, underground parking, and many trees.
From their website:
Dar-us-Salaam's new home is in northern Howard County (14196 Frederick Road, Cooksville, MD 21723), far enough from the congestion of Washington DC and Baltimore city to maintain a safe, peaceful rural character, yet close enough to be able to reach major cities like Columbia in about 20 minutes.
The small town where the Dar-us-Salaam campus is located – Cooksville – is just off I-70, about 15 minutes from Ellicott City, Maryland. In 2010, CNN ranked Ellicott City as the #2 best place to live in the nation [1].
Howard County is regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in the United States, ranked #17 in the nation by Forbes magazine in 2008[2]. Howard County is also ranked high in the following areas:
- 3rd highest median household income level ($101,672) [3]
- 8th and 9th most educated population in the nation based on the percentage of residents who hold bachelors and advanced degrees, respectively [4]
- 2nd most technologically advanced county in the United States [5]
- 3rd most digital county government [6]
- Best public library system in the nation [7]
How will this small congregation afford an $8 million dollar tract of land, and how did they negotiate a $2 million dollars discount? At least one video on Youtube is soliciting funds from Indonesia.
The future of America is not free:
