U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Black Tanzanian Network Analyst Fired While White Counterpart Was Merely Disciplined, Federal Agency Charges
ATLANTA – Integrated Broadband Services, a provider of operational support software and back office services deployed by cable and broadband operators worldwide, violated federal law when it fired a black Tanzanian analyst because of her race and national origin, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Civil Action No. 1:10-03106, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Rehema Gore was hired by Integrated Broadband Services in July 2008 as a Network Operations Center Analyst. As an analyst, Gore was responsible for monitoring elements that could degrade the quality of the network. On November 21, 2008, Gore was terminated by her supervisor because she left work 30 minutes early in order to beat traffic. The supervisor did not, however, terminate a similarly-situated white analyst in October 2008, when he left work two hours early on two different occasions during the course of a week simply because he was tired. The white employee only received written discipline, and that only after his second offense.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC is seeking back pay, compensatory and punitive damages for Ms. Gore. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief designed to stop the race and national origin discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
"This is a case with clear evidence of disparate treatment based on race and national origin," said Robert K. Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "It highlights the importance of the EEOC's obligation to protect the rights of employees to equal treatment in the workplace. Employers need to understand that rules should be the same for all employees regardless of their race or place of birth."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Description: Dave Loukides began making knives in 2001. He brought many skills from his 30 year occupation as a machinist. Dave is now a full time knife maker and was awarded Journeyman Smith at the 2011 Atlanta Blade Show. It has been a pleasure watching Dave move up in the ranks of knife makers and we look forward to seeing what he has for us in the future.
This carving knife is perfect for carving fowl from the bone, slicing roasts, and portioning meats. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance perfect.
Dave Loukides began this knife by forging the 1084 carbon steel to shape. This ensures optimal grain structure and a keen, long lasting edge. Both the blade and tang are distal tapered for a perfect balance. A hand rubbed satin finish lends an heirloom quality.
The cocobolo handle is set on a distal tapered full tang. Excellent work throughout!

Welcome to Ursuline College's Master of Arts in Ministry website! We are glad that you have found us, and we hope that you will take some time to explore our website, get to know our students and faculty, and discover the rich and unique experience that a theological education at Ursuline College has to offer.
What can you expect from a graduate education in theology at Ursuline College?
First, you will find that theological education at Ursuline is
rigorous yet practical
. The Master of Arts in Ministry program provides students with a professional degree that integrates theological education with ministerial formation and practical experience. The curriculum includes a 36 credit-hour course of instruction that provides students with a broad and deep academic foundation in scripture, doctrine, theology, pastoral care and counseling, church history and ethics, as well as with hands-on experiences in pastoral ministry.
Second, you will find that theological education at Ursuline is
. There is a constant conversation taking place in our classrooms between the body of tradition we study critically, and the many and varied experiences each of us brings with us into that same classroom. You will find this distinctive emphasis on integration and synthesis throughout all of your coursework, whether you are taking a course in Church History, Moral Theology, Liturgy and Sacraments, Pastoral Care and Counseling, Social Justice or Christian Scriptures. Every member of our program faculty seeks to accomplish this kind of integration in our courses through reading assignments, through lecture, through classroom dialogue, through written projects, group projects and through theological reflection.
Finally, theological education at Ursuline is
. A fundamental principle of theological scholarship for people of faith is that we are transformed by what we study. Critical study of the object of our faith should not lessen that faith but indeed, should broaden and deepen that faith. The study of theology should not lead to indifference but rather should teach us more about our religious beliefs and values. And indeed, as you will see and hear from our students and faculty, the Ursuline Ministry program has transformed many students since it first began in 1990, leading women and men into deeper, more mature, and more authentic relationships with one another, with their religious communities, with the world and with God.

Charlie Sheen has apologised to Ashton Kutcher after slating his performance in Two And A Half Men.
The bad boy actor commented on Ashton - who replaced him after he was fired from the show last year - in an interview, saying he was "tired of pretending Ashton doesn't suck".
He also criticised the programme.
But he has now said sorry for his words, posting a message on his website admitting he had been "disrespectful."
"Dear Ashton, My bad. I was disrespectful to a man doing his best. I got excited and threw you into a crossfire.
"The rest of my statement I stand behind. You, however, deserve better. Safety in your travels good sir"
He signed the letter from 'The late Charlie Harper', his character on Two And A Half Men.

In our second report from UK distributor Fisher Outdoor Leisure's '09 trade show, we bring you the highlights of the commuting kit and family cycling gear on display. Click on the thumbnails on the right for more images.
California-based Dahon have always done well in our tests, and they were displaying their latest range of folding bikes. The '09 lineup includes the lightweight (22lb) Mµ Uno singlespeed with back pedal brake, the 18-speed Vitesse P18 – the first Dahon to have a front mech – and the XL Sport with Shimano Nexus hub gear.
Their top-of-the-range model this year is the 19.4lb, £1,999.99 Mµ EX with SRAM Red and Double Tap levers, which they claim "rides just like a normal road bike".
Dahon say their new SRAM Red-equipped Mµ EX rides just like a normal road bike
In addition to small-wheeled folders, they had a number of machines with their patented Lockjaw mechanism. The hinges are barely noticeable and Dahon say they enable you to fold the bike in 10 seconds.
The Cadenza Solo singlespeed features Dahon's LockJaw hinge technology
The LockJaw hinges on the top and down tubes are operated with a 6mm Allen key
Dahon claim LockJaw bikes can be folded in seconds but are exceptionally stiff when locked
Dutch brand Basil were showing off a range of colourful panniers, many of which can be converted into shopping bags or school rucksacks. Some come with matching saddle covers and even umbrellas. They also had a number of traditional-style wicker baskets. Okay, they won't be to everyone's tastes, but for someone looking for less utilitarian-looking bike luggage, they could be a godsend.
Basil's Blossom Postmenbag panniers are available in a range of designs and colours
Basil's Jasmin Rosa Shopper has a matching saddle cover, basket and umbrella
Lambretta, the streetwear brand named after the iconic scooter company, are making a move into the cycling market, and they had a pair of 'his and hers' 26in-wheeled town bikes on display which are set to cost around £700.
Lambretta's new 'his and hers' 26in-wheeled town bikes will retail for around £700
They say the devil is in the detail, and what sets these apart from the pack is the nifty-looking flat mudguards and chrome-effect finishing kit.
The Lambretta bikes boast some striking-looking finishing kit
Bspoke had a range of men's and women's commuter clothing on their stand, which will be launching in March. It's only the discreet reflective piping and drop tails on the jackets that give this kit away as cycling clothing, so it could be perfect for those who don't want to wander round town in a fluorescent yellow jacket after riding to work.
Bspoke's clothing doesn't look like cycling gear so it could be ideal for the office commute
Canadian company Trail-a-Bike were showing off a range of colourful trailer bikes – the perfect way for families with young children to go on longer rides without leaving the kids struggling to keep up.

Normally, when an injury that causes
bleeding occurs, the body sends out signals that cause blood to clot at the
wound, and then the clot naturally breaks down as the wound heals. A person prone to
abnormal clotting has an imbalance between clot formation and clot breakdown.
Warfarin prevents new clots from forming and
prevents existing clots from growing by stopping the production of certain
proteins that are needed for blood to clot. Warfarin does not break up or dissolve
existing blood clots. Warfarin is a type of anticoagulant medicine.
Warfarin is used to prevent or treat
deep vein thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism.1
If you have a high risk of these problems, such as having a recent surgery, you might take warfarin for a short time, about a few weeks.
If you have had deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, you might take warfarin for a longer time, such as 3 months or longer. The
length of time will vary based on your health.
Warfarin reduces the chance that a
new blood clot will form or that an existing blood clot will get larger.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Bleeding: Call 911 or other emergency services right away if:
Call your doctor right away if:
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Realize that it
will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
Allergic reaction: Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Other side effects of warfarin include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects.
(Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
When you take warfarin, you need to take extra steps to avoid bleeding problems.
For more information, see:
what to do if you miss a dose of anticoagulant.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, do not take warfarin. Warfarin can cause miscarriage or birth defects. If you are taking warfarin, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
If you think you might be pregnant: Call your doctor. If you are pregnant, you will take heparin during your pregnancy.
If you plan on getting pregnant: Talk with your doctor. You and your doctor will decide which medicine you will take—warfarin or heparin—while trying to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Paris Nous Appartient begins at the end-with a mysterious suicide. Curious as to why a young Spaniard would take his own life, Betty Schneider visits many of the places frequented by the dead youth. She learns from theatre-director Giani Esposito that the suicide victim was part of a sinister international conspiracy. She further learns from American-expatriate Daniel Crohem that Esposito has also been targeted for persecution by the conspirators. By the time Schneider realizes that the conspiracy was merely a figment of the neurotic Crohem's imagination, the terrified Esposito has killed himself. The intrigues of the plot take second place to the film's centerpiece: an eternally-in-progress stage production of Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre. Now regarded as one of the pioneering efforts in the French New Wave movement, Paris Belongs to Us was also the first feature-length effort of director (and former critic and film theorist) Jacques Rivette.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Director: Jacques Rivette
Cast: Betty Schneider, Gianni Esposito and Françoise Prévost

Nightmare Before Christmas, The (US - BD RA)
What's this? Gabe loves this Blu-ray disc. What's this? One he wouldn't miss..
Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, is tired of Halloween Town life. Somewhere deep inside of his bones an emptiness has started to grow. One night Jack wonders too far into the forest, and discovers a gateway to Christmas Town, a new and exciting place full of joy and happiness, rather then fear and misery. Jack decides to take Christmas away from Sandy Claus this year, and rallies his Halloween Town brethren to his noble cause.
There's a small list of films somewhere in the back of my mind that, beyond being my favourites, are my personal litmus tests of those around me. The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my litmus films, and if you're one of those frightening people that don't like it, I'm not quite sure I can trust you. From the concept, to the artistry, the music, even the acting, Tim Burton and Henry Selick's joint ne plus ultra experiment is simply one of the most magical things ever put to film. I don't even let those obnoxious emo-goth, Hot Topic shoppers that adopted the film get in the way of my love for it.
In many ways The Nightmare Before Christmas is an unparalleled success. It's a film that really shouldn't have been made by a studio, or released on more than maybe three screens. It was made using archaic techniques on the cusp of the digital effects revolution, and it broke into song when even Walt Disney animated productions were having second thoughts about musicals. The film is really too strange on every level to have ever found any kind of monetary success, or longevity behind a tight knit cult following, and yet, here we are, re-buying it on home video for the fourth time.
It almost restores your faith in humanity.
The film represents career apexes for all the major players, leading me to believe that this sum is greater then its parts. Henry Selick's solo efforts have been either passable ( James and the Giant Peach) or dreadful ( Monkey Bone). His co-productions are always stronger (including his work on The Life Aquatic, and hopefully Coraline). Tim Burton's expressionistic/gothic cartoon environment was apparently the perfect arena for Selick's specific talents. To the same token, when Burton tried directing stop motion without assistance, the end effect was much less inspired, even with big name actors like Johnny Depp in the cast.
Burton's career has always followed along the lines of fairy tales. His best work blends traditional folklore and modern storytelling techniques. He revels in worlds that take the fantastic for granted. The eccentrically decorative worlds of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, even the first two Batman films looked like nothing else on film, but were still somehow familiar, as if we'd been read them on our mother's laps as children. Nightmare is a particularly natural fairy tale, with a specific and original look, and characters that fulfil the moral lessons of traditional folklore. In choosing Halloween and Christmas as the basis for his tale Burton also infuses it with centuries of holiday tradition as well.
Comparing Nightmare to The Corpse Bride or James and the Giant Peach is unfair for one reason—the lack of top shelf Danny Elfman. Sure, Corpse Bride has an Elfman score and a few songs, but these mostly just serve to remind us how much more magical Nightmare's music truly is. I'd favourable compare the songs in Nightmare to every other musical in the history of film musicals. It may not be the very best (who can decide such things), but it stands up admirable to hard hitters like Marry Poppins, Westside Story, even The Wizard of Oz. Add to this the fact that Elfman so memorably sings his own songs, and you've got a career best for the former Oingo Boinger.
There are some things you just need to re-buy when an improved version is made available. First I bought Nightmare on VHS, but it wasn't widescreen, then I bought it on DVD, but it had no extras, so I was forced to buy it again. Needless to say, it wasn't going to take a perfect transfer for me to get my hands on this Blu-ray version. This is probably as perfect as the film will ever look. It reveals new details that I missed even during the 3D re-release (which I thought was a massive disappointment), like groves in the street of Halloween Town, and sparkling bits of snow in Christmas Town.
Besides the heightened details, this new hi-def transfer displays brighter colours and deeper blacks. Sometimes the new bright hues bleed into each other ever so slightly, but the overall effect is that of near perfection, especially during the black light lit Oogie Boogie sequences. The autumn shades of Halloween Town are sometimes display a hint of noise, but the newly represented Christmas Town and real world are very tight, even with the purposefully soft focus camera. I'm a little surprised to see some print damage artefacts (mostly white flecks), but for the most part this is an unsoiled transfer.
It's too bad that Disney didn't go for a DTS-HD Master Audio track, but I don't foresee many complaints concerning this Dolby Digital TrueHD 7.1 track. Even in theatres during the 3D re-release the mix wasn't this active. Every channel layers Elfman's score into a fully immersive atmosphere. So many film scores are mixed into what basically amounts to a Pro Logic track, spanning the stereo speakers and only using the middle and rear channels for slight bleed through and echo effects, but not this track. The mixing of the music into every channel creates the effect of being effectively surrounded by the orchestra. Even the singing moves beyond the centre channel, creating the effective of characters honestly moving from behind the viewer into frame. The subwoofer is very punchy and never over used, as is so often the case on bigger soundtracks. I had to turn the volume up to a higher level then I would've with a DTS track, but the dialogue normalisation doesn't result in any noticeable distortion.
Many of these extras are carried over from the older special edition DVD release. The 'exclusive' extras start with a very quick word from Burton on his satisfaction with the new Blu-ray transfer. This is followed by a new audio commentary featuring Burton, Selick, and Danny Elfman. The commentators have all been recorded separately, and it appears that the Selick sections of the track were taken from the special edition release. I usually don't really like cut-together tracks because of their artificial flow, but editing Burton is always a good idea, even if this is one of his better efforts. Danny Elfman's contributions are the most thoughtful, but there's something to learn from all three commentators.
'What's This? Jack's Haunted Mansion Holiday Tour' is a virtual tour of the newly revamped Haunted Mansion 'ride' at Disneyland. Viewers can watch this odd camera guided tour with or without a trivia track. The new extras (which are all presented in 1080i) come to an end with Christopher Lee's reading of Burton's original poem, which was the inspiration behind the film. This is presented visually as a slightly animated storyboard based on Burton's original sketches.
From here it's nothing but the same old same old. The uncut version of Burton's original short film Frankenweenie start these out. Frankenweenie, if you haven't already seen it, is a cute little James Whale inspired short concerning a little boy's attempts at resurrecting his dead dog, and what invariably goes wrong. The film looks fantastic for its presumed cost; Burton really captures that authentic Whale look, something that must be harder then it looks based on the hundred of failures pressed to film. The cast is also impressive, featuring Shelley Duvall, Daniel Stern, Paul Bartel, Barrett Oliver, and even a young Sofia Coppola (under the name Domino). The little Tim Burton intro tells us that the weirdo maverick is working on a stop motion, feature film adaptation as we speak. This is followed by one of Burton's first attempts at stop motion animation, an amusing six minute short called Vincent (which was made using Stephen Chiodo animation).
Next are three deleted scenes in storyboard form, with Danny Elfman's temp music on the soundtrack. These include deleted sections from 'Making Christmas' and 'Oogies Song', and an alternate ending where Oogie's true identity is revealed. Then we have four deleted animation sequences, which are presented with rough music and slightly unfinished animation. The first is an extended version of Jack's Christmas experiments, the second is an alternate version of Vampire hockey, the third is an extra bit with Lock Shock and Barrel, and the last is a bit of Oogie's silhouette dancing. Selick says on his commentary that some of these scenes were cut for time, but one has to wonder about this judgment when the final film is only seventy-two minutes long.
The behind the scenes featurette is quite fluffy, and it was probably made to advertise the film on the Disney channel or HBO, but still manages to cover all the bases, even if they do it with super speed. The featurette is worth it for the footage of animators working with the puppets, and the actual sculpting of the armature puppets. It runs about twenty-five minutes. Things are completed with five different still galleries, and trailers for other Disney releases. Oh yeah, and that second disc? That's just a digital copy version of the film.
If you've still got the previous special edition release, and no plans to buy a Blu-ray player any time soon, I say skip this new release. The new extras just aren't quite worth the new purchase in my eyes. However, if you have a Blu-ray player you have no excuse. The transfer is crisp and colourful, and the TrueHD soundtrack is a standout.

Venus out of Sony with back injury
A big match beckoned for Venus Williams on a court where she first hoisted the championship trophy 15 years ago.
Alas, on Saturday she wasn't up to any heavy lifting.
The three-time Key Biscayne champion withdrew from the Sony Open because of a lower back injury shortly before her third-round match against fellow American Sloane Stephens.
Williams, seeded 19th, was extended to three sets in the second round Thursday against Kimiko Date-Krumm. She said her back began to bother her Friday, and she decided after warming up that she couldn't play.
"It's really disappointing," she said. "But I have faced disappointments in my life and my career. It's not the first; probably not the last."
The cancellation cost the tournament the day's most appealing match, pitting a rising star against a seven-time Grand Slam champion. The 20-year-old Stephens upset Serena Williams at the Australian Open and is ranked a career-best 16th.
"I'm a little bummed, but I guess a win is a win," Stephens said. "On to the next round."
She'll play defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska on Monday, and could face a rematch against Serena Williams in the semifinals. Five-time champion Serena won her third-round match, overcoming a 3-love deficit in the first set to beat Ayumi Morita 6-3, 6-3.
"Definitely a little bit of a rough start," the No. 1-ranked Williams said. "It was good to get through this match."
Venus Williams said she hopes the back ailment won't prevent her from playing in her next scheduled tournament at Charleston, S.C., beginning April 1.
"That's always a concern, but I have dealt with injuries before in my whole career," she said. "I feel like also I know how to hopefully recover quickly from them."
The 32-year-old Williams hasn't beaten a top-10 opponent since August, and has played in just three tournaments this year. She lost in the third round at the Australian Open to Maria Sharapova, and was beaten by No. 109-ranked Olga Puchkova in the semifinals of the Brazil Tennis Cup last month.
Williams won the title in 1998, 1999 and 2001, and was appearing at Key Biscayne for the 14th time. Stephens found it difficult to imagine herself playing for so many years.
"Oh, man. That's crazy," she said. "I just turned 20, so I don't know. I mean, I hope. I mean, if I can I want to, but that's still really a long ways away for me."
Williams' injury was the second in two days to sideline a former Key Biscayne champion. Two-time winner Victoria Azarenka withdrew before her opening match Friday because of a right ankle injury.
On a sunny, humid afternoon, Sam Querrey won in his first match as the top-ranked American, rallying past Lukasz Kubot 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. The 20th-ranked Querrey this week moved ahead of No. 23 John Isner, who hit 25 aces and beat Ivan Dodig, 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (5).
Isner has won his past five winner-take-all third-set tiebreakers.
"I really tend to play my best in a tiebreaker, for whatever reason," he said. "I wish I could sometimes play a little better outside of that."
Second-seeded Andy Murray needed only 56 minutes to beat Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-1. The absence of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal helps Murray's chances in the tournament, which he won in 2009.
"When you know they aren't going to be here, then it obviously changes things a little bit," Murray said. "For tennis it's way better if all of the top players are here. I think we have been very lucky the last few years especially that a lot of the top players have fulfilled their commitments to all of the big events. So it's going to happen from time to time, and it's unfortunate for this event that it happened here."
Tomic, who fell to 2-15 against top-10 opponents, drew jeers from the stadium crowd during his lackluster performance.
Radwanska, seeded fourth, lost serve seven times and needed nearly 2 1/2 hours to beat Magdalena Rybarikova 7-6 (5), 2-6, 6-3. No. 9 Caroline Wozniacki lost to wild card Garbine Muguruza of Spain, 6-2, 6-4.
Querrey lost his first service game but held the rest of the way and hit 12 aces against Kubot. The 25-year-old Querrey said being the top-ranked American has provided only a modest boost in confidence.
"Some days more than others," he said. "I never thought about it out there today. Haven't really thought about it much. Felt like another day out there to me. Nothing new."
Querrey won despite a lack of rest. He's staying near downtown Miami, site of a weekend electronic music festival.
"I'm not sleeping well because of this Ultra Festival going on," he said. "I could hear the bass, and strobe lights were shining in my hotel, so it's hard to sleep."
Isner said the festival hasn't bothered him.
"I can sleep through anything," he said. "I can sleep through a train wreck. Do not hear it, which is good."

Hoke React, No Swearing
Hoke React, No Swearing
So this isn't two thousand words of swearing as promised. That requires some level of verve to pull off and I'm out of that. I'm depressed and waiting for the other shoe to drop and far too sober. A few things:
"This is not Brady Hoke's fault." Repeat 1000x. This is not Brady Hoke's fault. He seems like a nice enough dude. It seems unlikely he actively participated in the submarining of Rich Rodriguez. Unlike everyone else ever associated with the Michigan program with even the most thinly plausible of resumes, he actually wants to be the head coach here. So that's nice.
This is a stupid hire. It will always be as stupid hire and David Brandon just led the worst coaching search in the history of Michigan football. He managed to chase off half of an already iffy recruiting class, hired a Plan C coach on January 11th, probably ensured the transfer of the reigning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, and restricted his "national search" to people who'd spent at least five years in Ann Arbor. Michigan just gave themselves a year of USC-level scholarship reduction voluntarily.
What are the chances that the best available coach is a 52-year-old with a 47-50 career record and no experience as a coordinator? Why weren't a half-dozen coordinators with time and results on their side given the opportunity to interview? Why did Brandon waste time with Les Miles, a guy on the downside who may not have even gotten a serious offer? After learning a hard lesson about program continuity with the last hire why did Michigan hire a guy who professes to hate the spread 'n' shred a day after two spread teams played for the national title?
I'd rather have Rich Rodriguez entering year four with a new defensive staff than this, a total capitulation. Does anyone remember Tressel's record against Lloyd Carr? 5-1. Change was necessary. It didn't work, but that doesn't mean you go back to the stuff that required change.
Michigan should still be better next year. It depends on what goes on with the offense. Calvin Magee has already been hired at Pitt, so don't get your hopes up about tempting Denard by keeping the offensive staff that matters (QB coach and OC) unchanged.* The defense should be much better simply by virtue of returning approximately ten starters if you throw in Troy Woolfolk and not dragging the devilishly handsome corpse of Greg Robinson around. At the very least Hoke should have a quarterback, even if it's redshirt freshman Devin Gardner.
A completely average coach should be able to take 20 returning starters on a 7-6 team that sees the schedule ease considerably and get to 9-3. That's good, because that's probably what we hired. If Denard's out the door all bets are off except "will Brian cut down or across?"
*[Tony Gibson immediately found work at Pitt, too, which is amazing: the most maligned position coach on RR's staff is unemployed for ten days while most of Carr's coordinators fled to the NFL to be an assistant (to the) position coach. The exceptions are Stan Parrish, who is on a quest to rack up the worst winning percentage as a head coach in CFB history, Greg Mattison, who left voluntarily for an equivalent job at Notre Dame and shouldn't count as a pro, and Ron English, who got hired by Kragthorpe.]
Prepare for the media 180. This hypothetical 9-3 will cause the media to fall all over themselves declaring Brady Hoke the polar opposite of Rich Rodriguez (lazy media meme #1 is already underway) and whipsaw Michigan back to the positive side of the media ledger, whereupon that period where Michigan State could literally have 20% of their football team descend upon innocent bystanders in back to back years while Michigan gets painted as the Program Out Of Control will end with authoritah. Sportswriters—even the good ones—love nothing better than holding themselves above the outraged plebes, arguing that whatever they think is foolish.
We're unhappy, so they'll defend Brady Hoke to their dying single-sentence paragraph. This would have been a fascinating dynamic to watch if Miles was the guy. Seeing Rosenberg paper over Miles's oversigning hijinks would have been hilarious/infuriating. Since it's Hoke it will just be generic "why can't you be happy going 9-3 every year and beating OSU 30% of the time, I mean look at Rodriguez!"
Prepare for the program alum 180. Judging from twitter, Michigan guys in the NFL are happy, so there's that. At least we won't have Mark Bihl advising recruits to go to Michigan State and Dhani Jones walking into David Brandon's office and demanding a firing. Thanks for your support, guys! Your loyalty in this tough time is appreciated.
This is actually Hoke's main asset relative to non-Michigan candidates: the program won't be actively hoping he fails. This is not an insignificant bonus relative to Rodriguez.
The Gene Chizik plan is dodgy, temporary, and requires a bucket of money and amenable prospects. All right, so maybe we can hire the next Gus Malzahn and the next Ted Roof and import JUCOs like Nick Fairley and Cam Newton. This is lazy media meme #2, because lol those crazy fans, amirite?
- Who is Gus Malzahn? Texas just blew their coaching staff up and hired Manny Diaz and the Boise State OC, so they're off the table. It is January 11th. Next up is… I have no idea. Honestly, if you were going to poach an up-and-coming coordinator your best option on defense is none other than Scott Shafer, and on offense there isn't anyone, really. I'll believe Michigan has hired Randy Shannon as a DC six months after it's announced, but that's what this plan requires: hiring Randy goddamn Shannon as DC at a million a year.
- JUCOs are not available, and I'm not sure anyone can wave a towel like Trooper Taylor anyway.
- We hired a manball advocate unlikely to stick with the bits of Michigan's team that kind of worked, and his defensive coordinator is going to be the head coach at SDSU.
- To date Michigan's pay packages for assistants have been pathetic. Brandon promised that would change. He also promised a national search and hired a guy who will probably be one of the lowest-paid coaches in the Big Ten.
- The figurehead approach leaves you vulnerable to having your quasi-HC poached, as West Virginia found out when Doc Holliday was hired by Marshall and Auburn will find out soon enough. If you can plug and play Cam Newton that might work, but Michigan can't.
Also, Chizik was an established ass-kicking BCS coordinator who led the nation's #1 scoring D at Auburn, was 5th in yardage allowed in back to back years, won the Broyles award, and then went to Texas to win a national title opposite Vince Young. He didn't really need Roof. He had Gene Chizik. He did not immediately turn Iowa State into a team of ninjas but Chizik was a better hire than Hoke even absent the ludicrous money that went into his staff. Hoke's never even been a coordinator, and his results as a head coach are less than a slam dunk.
I am all in for being wrong. Or not really so much wrong as properly skeptical in an environment where success turns on a blade of grass and real games are few and far between and randomness is so important. Kenpom just put up a great post today about +/- and its general lack of usefulness as a stat because of its immense noise—college football has a lot of noise. It is possible that Brady Hoke was just unlucky or unprepared and that his last three years are more representative of his talent than his first five. I won't become what I hate, Emperor Palpatine.
With the dual boosts of a pliant media and cooperative network of former players plus a program that should find itself on an upward trajectory instead of a downward one, everything's set up for him to look like the white knight who "saved" the program and ride that to something approximating success. Michigan's just thrown in the towel on being a national power but this could be Nebraska after Callahan instead of Notre Dame after Davie.

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) — Lindsey Vonn is in a class by herself when it comes to women's World Cup skiing at Lake Louise.
After winning both downhills, Vonn capped a sweep with a victory in Sunday's super-G. The American star recorded a hat trick at the Alberta resort for the second straight year after winning all three races in 2011.
Vonn now has 14 career wins at Lake Louise, and she hopes that's enough to prompt the world governing body of skiing to re-consider her request to race the men's World Cup at the site.
"It's not like I'm getting 20th every day and saying I want to race the men," Vonn said. "I try to let my skiing speak for itself.
"I think this weekend was the next step for me and a testament to why I want to race with the men."
The U.S. women's team had a banner weekend in the season-opening speed events. Julia Mancuso was second in Sunday's super-G after Stacey Cook was runner-up to Vonn in both downhills.
Anna Fenninger of Austria was third Sunday.
Vonn felt pressure to win at Lake Louise this year. The defending overall World Cup champion asked FIS in October to allow her to compete in the men's World Cup on the same mountain. FIS denied her request.
Vonn arrived in Alberta not feeling her best. The lingering effects from a stomach ailment that hospitalized her for two nights in November drained her energy.
She finished 21st in a giant slalom in Aspen, Colo., prior to her arrival in Lake Louise. Tina Maze of Slovenia jumped into the lead in the overall standings with a pair of giant slalom victories to start the season.
Vonn felt uncertain about how she would perform, but Lake Louise was once again "Lake Lindsey."
"I was in a pretty rough place sitting in a hospital bed and everyone is training and skiing fast and Tina is winning everything and, 'Great. How am I supposed to get up and keep going? I have no training, I have no energy,'" she recalled. "I've never quite dealt with something like that before. I didn't know what was going to happen.
"I came up here trying to have a clean slate, giving myself every chance to do well and it turned around. This really sets me up well for the rest of the season. This is exactly the weekend I needed."
It's not just her wins, but her margin of victory at Lake Louise that sets her apart.
Vonn beat the field in Friday's season-opening downhill by 1.73 seconds. The difference between second and third that day was one hundredth of a second.
Despite a major slip halfway down the course, the 28-year-old from Burnsville, Minn., won again Saturday by .52 seconds. She completed her sweep by clearing the super-G field by .42 seconds.
"Honestly, it doesn't matter if I won by one tenth or one second," she said. "I think it definitely validates my cause a little bit more by winning by a larger margin, but it's just a win and that's all that matters to me."
With her super-G win back in 2010, Vonn is the first woman to string together seven straight wins at one venue. The previous record was six by Sweden's Anja Paerson in Maribor, Germany.
Alpine Canada President Max Gartner has been supportive of Vonn's bid to race the men at Lake Louise.
"She definitely made a statement this weekend by dominating the women's circuit again and saying she's ready to take that next challenge," Gartner said. "We are certainly there to support it if it goes that way.
"I think at the moment on this course when she has a normal run without any major, major mistakes, I don't think anybody can beat her."
Predicting how Vonn would fare against the men at Lake Louise based on her times and speed in the women's races is problematic.
The courses for the men and women at Lake Louise were virtually identical this year. There are years, depending on conditions, when the women's start hut is lower.
Vonn's top speed in the downhill of 84.31 miles per hour matched the fastest posted by Canada's Jan Hudec in the men's downhill. Hudec finished 17th in that race.
Vonn says that's an apples-and-oranges comparison. A large dump of snow prior to the men's races made for a slower course for them. The track hardened and was faster for the women.
"I would really love to say you can directly compare it, but you can't," Vonn said. "The course this year is more similar than I think it has been in the past years, but at the same time, they totally re-groom the hill, the snow conditions were different. You just can't compare it.
"I don't know exactly where I'd stack up, but that's kind of the whole point, to see where I stand and see how much farther I can push my skiing because the men, they're skiing is the best in the world hands down. That's where I want to get my skiing to be."
With her 56th World Cup victory, Vonn moved past Switzerland's Vreni Schneider into second on the career list. Vonn needs six more to match the 62 of Annamarie Moser-Proell of Austria as the winningest skier in women's World Cup history.
The next women's World Cup is in St. Moritz, Switzerland, starting next Friday.
"Those kinds of records are really hard for me to think about because they mean so much to me," Vonn said. "Annamarie is a legend. She's held that record for so many years and it's been thought to be untouchable.
"I don't picture myself in the same league as her so to be this close and still feel like I have a few more years of racing left in me is much more than I ever anticipated."

Nets continue long road trip in Portland
The Brooklyn Nets already punched their ticket to the postseason, while the Portland Trail Blazers are still fighting for a playoff spot.
The two teams will meet Wednesday night in the Rose City.
Brooklyn is 3-1 on an eight-game road trip and squeezed past the Phoenix Suns, 102-100, on Sunday. Brook Lopez scored 21 points and Deron Williams recorded a double-double with 20 points and 11 assists for the Nets, who have won seven of their last 10 games and sit fourth in the East -- 2 1/2 games ahead of both Chicago and Atlanta.
"We got a lot of points off the bench tonight and that's just how it has to be sometimes to get the wins. I said earlier teams like this sometimes are the tough teams to beat," Nets forward Kris Humphries said.
Humphries had a season-high 17 points and eight rebounds, while C.J. Watson scored 14 points off the bench to help Brooklyn rebound from a previous loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
The Nets, who sport an 18-3 mark when scoring 100-plus points, are only 2 1/2 games behind the New York Knicks for Atlantic Division supremacy and own a 19-15 record on the road. The Nets will also visit Denver, Utah and Cleveland on this lengthy trek, and last won 20 road games in 2005-06.
Portland is back home for two games and went 2-3 on a recent road trip.
The Trail Blazers capped the journey with Sunday's 103-83 loss at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rookie Damian Lillard had a team-high 19 points, while Nicolas Batum registered 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Trail Blazers, who had won two in a row.
"I thought it was a good effort against arguably the best team in the West," said Blazers coach Terry Stotts. "It was our fifth game in seven nights and we just didn't have it at the end. I don't think the final score is indicative of how the game went, but my hat's off to them."
LaMarcus Aldridge had 10 points and 12 rebounds, and is listed as probable for Wednesday's game with an illness.
Portland will also host the Utah Jazz on the short homestand and is 22-11 at the Rose Garden this season. The Blazers are 2 1/2 games off the eighth and final postseason spot in the Western Conference.
The Blazers lost to Brooklyn 98-85 on Nov. 25 this season, but are 11-4 in the past 15 matchups between the teams. The Nets have lost four in a row and 22 of the last 25 trips to the Pacific Northwest.

Twitter Hands Over Info After Judge Makes It Almost Impossible For It Not To
from the sad dept
Put in such a tough position, Twitter did what it had to do and handed over the info the government is seeking on Harris. The only concession the judge gave is that the information is filed under seal for one more week. Hopefully, Twitter can convince another court to stop this in this one short week and to allow a full appeal to be heard.
The EFF has a really good explanation for why both the DA's and the judge's actions in this case are potentially so dangerous:
If Judge Sciarrino is worried that Twitter is making a mountain out of a molehill by continuing to press its challenge to the subpoena, the same has to be asked of the prosecutors who are using a misdemeanor disorderly conduct arrest that occurred more than a year ago as a pretense to obtain a wealth of information. The attempt to obtain this information from Twitter is to prove a point not even really contested: whether Harris was on the bridge during the protest.There are a lot of important issues brought up by everything that's led up to this situation, and it's unfortunate that the judge seems to have decided to toss all of those concerns overboard with his contempt claims against Twitter. Hopefully a higher court puts a stop to this in the next week.
This case was shaping up to be a constitutional showdown on a contested and unclear area of the law. Judges much higher up the judicial chain have been wrestling with the complicated issues brought about by the explosion of information turned over to third parties. In her concurring opinion in United States v. Jones, Justice Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court wrote that she "would not assume that all information voluntarily disclosed to some member of the public for a limited purpose is, for that reason alone, disentitled to Fourth Amendment protection." If a Supreme Court justice is thinking about the issues here, why would a state trial court force Twitter into a position where it has to abandon its court case seeking clarity or risk a massive fine in deciding to pursue its appeal? Some have already questioned whether Judge Sciarrino is the right judge to pass on this landmark case.

Saturday's defeat to Everton all but ended Manchester City's title challenge for this season. The Champions have fallen far behind their local rivals Manchester United, and such was the laboured way his team played a Toffees team that was down to ten men for the final half hour, it was probably a good decision for Roberto Mancini to miss out on the post match press conference.
The Citizens will look to secure a second place finish in the league and hope they can win the FA Cup, with a semi-final tie against the winners of the Manchester United – Chelsea replay and then the winners of Wigan – Millwall their only challengers.
In the grand scheme of football that is no failure, but for City and the hundreds of millions the owners have splashed out, anything short of a Premier League or European title is unacceptable.
City had a lot of catching up to do when the billionaire Sheikh Mansour took charge, off the pitch as well as on it. Recently, City have concentrated on improving both the boardroom and the infrastructure of the club.
Now they have former Barcelona duo Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain in the boardroom and the new training ground adjacent to the Etihad is in the pipeline they can focus more on the players and coaches.
Perennial headline maker Mario Balotelli was offloaded to AC Milan, Kolo Toure's contract is set to expire this summer, while Carlos Tevez's deal which runs out next summer does not look like being renewed. Joleon Lescott has been linked with a cut-price £4 million transfer out of City, in an effort to remove his wages from the club's bill.
It is not just players who are set for the chop. Rumour has swirled around the future of manager Roberto Mancini, with Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini linked with the Etihad hot seat. City's calamitous Champions League campaign has hardly helped Mancini.
Given that there are also question marks over so many players that Mancini signed – Samir Nasri, Edin Dzeko, Aleksander Kolarov, as well as those already mentioned – and that some signings such as Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair and Javi Garcia have failed to prove themselves to be of the required level, it is no wonder the Italian's future is in doubt.
The resources Mansour has provided Mancini inevitably brings pressure, and while Mancini has laid blame for the failure to sign players like Robin van Persie at the door of Brian Marwood and other directors, it does not excuse the ex- Internazionale manager from not getting the best from the players he has signed.
Balotelli has scored seven goals in six games for Milan, proving his quality, while City will inevitably make huge losses on any players they sell. Young players struggle to break through the ranks, and there appears to be no long-term thinking from the manager's point of view.
If City are to find long-term sustainability while also competing both at home and abroad, they need long term planning from boardroom down. The transfer policy needs to be sharpened up, the millions they spend on the youth academy needs to show some reward and there needs to be a feeling of control form the dugout.
Roberto Mancini has not shown he is up to the job and his volatile management style does not appear conducive to a focused, determined environment.
Changes have been made at the top end of the club, now they need to find balance further down. The right manager will be key, and Mancini is not that man.

Late injury to leading scorer Torrey Craig proves costly as the Spartans fall to Mercer on its home court.
MACON, Ga. — When Torrey Craig got knocked in the head, USC Upstate had the ball down two points and in position for a possible monumental victory.
The rest is kind of foggy to him.
Craig checked back into the game, still a little groggy, only about a minute of scoreboard clock later. But by then, the Spartans were basically finished.
Top-seeded Mercer owned a six-point lead that soon became nine and the Bears pulled away for a 72-64 win on their home court Friday night to make the championship of the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament. They will face Florida Gulf Coast at noon today in a game that will be televised nationally on ESPN2 and send the winner to the NCAA tournament.
USC Upstate, the fifth seed, matched the regular-season champs (15-0 at home) blow for blow until the very end. The game was tied with three and a half minutes remaining.
"It was a very competitive and hard-fought game," USC Upstate head coach Eddie Payne said. "I think both teams played hard. Mercer is a good team and they made some nice plays down the stretch. I also think they got a couple of breaks down the stretch. Good teams do that."
One of those perceived breaks was when Craig grabbed and offensive rebound and took an elbow to the head. He went down hard on the baseline, was called for traveling, and stayed down for several minutes to get medical attention.
"I got hit in the head and then I just couldn't catch my breath," said Craig, who leads the league in scoring. "I don't know. I felt like I was having a panic attack or something. It was scary."
After Craig was helped to the sideline with 2:38 remaining, Mercer got back-to-back buckets to stretch the lead to 63-59 exactly a minute later. Bud Thomas (20 points) buried a turnaround one-hander in the lane. Daniel Coursey had a shot rejected but USC Upstate was called for goaltending and the basket was counted.
Craig went to the scorers table to check in, but it was too late.
"I had a knot on my head and I felt kind of drowsy," he said. "But I wanted to go back in and help us win."
Craig led the Spartans with 20 points. Ty Greene had 14 points, five rebounds and three assists. Adrian Rodgers added 11 points. Ricardo Glenn had 10 rebounds and three assists.
"I'm proud of our kids," Payne said. "I thought we played here at the end of the season like we all thought we would play throughout the year. We just came up a little short today."
Mercer, which averages seven 3-pointers per game, had nine in the first half and finished with 14. Possession after possession, USC Upstate would play tight defense and not allow the Bears to get good looks inside, only to have them fire long ones with the shot clock winding down.
"Our game plan was to stop penetration, don't let them get to the rim and go out and contest threes," Greene said. "When people hit tough shots, sometimes you have to tip your cap."
USC Upstate struggled to score in the first seven minutes and trailed, 11-5, with Rodgers getting the only points. But then the Spartans heated up. They went 10-for-13 from the floor, including seven straight makes, and went 5-for-5 on 3-pointers to take a 30-28 lead. Craig had 11 points and Greene eight in the 22-point burst.
Mercer, up 34-30 at the break, started to pull away in the early part of the second half. Thomas pulled down an offensive rebound and powered his way for a basket that made it 44-37.
But Mario Blessing of USC Upstate scored all seven of his points during the next few minutes. Blessing made a spinning bank shot, took a charge on the defensive end, made a 3-pointer and then drove the lane for a floater that gave the Spartans a 46-44 lead.
"There were spots when we played exceptionally well," Payne said. "The series triggered by Mario to give us the lead was tremendous. I was real proud of the way he played during that stretch."
Mercer beat USC Upstate by eight points at home on Jan. 19 and by 11 on Feb. 14 in Spartanburg. The Bears' opening game in this tournament was an 82-48 win, a record margin for this event, against Lipscomb.
This one, though, was more difficult that the final margin would indicate.
"We played a tough team that has great athletes, tremendous players and one of the best coaches in the country," Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman said. "Our guys withstood what they do best, which is rebounding the ball. That's their strength."
USC Upstate lead the league in rebounding margin, but Mercer won that battle, 33-30, and had nine offensive boards.
The Spartans next season will return all but one senior who averaged 0.8 points per game. So they will be one of the favorites to get back to this position and perhaps to the championship game.
"That's an emotion I'll have to get to in the next few days," Payne said. "I'm not there yet."

Warren of Stafford, a textile mill that ended 160 years of production in December, plans to restart its looms within 10 days.
Thursday, American Woolen Co. announced it would buy the mill complex from Loro Piana, an Italian luxury cashmere and wool apparel company, which had owned it for 26 years. The company made fine worsted wool for men's suits and cashmere and camel hair for coats, and for most of the time Loro Piana operated in Stafford, 200 to 250 people worked there.
By the end, there were about 85 workers.
Friday, the state Department of Economic Development announced that it had given American Woolen $100,000, and loaned it $300,000 at a subsidized rate, to...

I can't remember the last time I bought a subsidized phone. With Discount my unlimited Magenta plan runs me $73 a month after taxes. With my normal phone lifespan being 6-8 months I was wondering how many follow suit. I can tell you I've never paid over $385 for a new phone and had some pretty decent ones in the past.
Currently running a 6 month old SGS2 and a G2X before that I've had some pretty rocking hardware and with the savings from the plan have made out in terms of subsidies. I love T-Mobile and probably will never betray them. Just wondering who else does something similar to either keep up on hardware or keep their "grandfathered" plan going.

Monsanto Company has received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the sales of a new formulation of acetochlor for early post-emergence use in cotton and soybeans. The product will be marketed as MON 63410 Herbicide for the 2010 growing season. Upon receipt of state registrations or approvals, it will be introduced primarily for those areas of the Southeast, Mid-South and Midwestern states of Missouri and Southern Illinois, which have had resistance and other control problems with Palmer amaranth and tall waterhemp.
"Farmers face a number of weed control challenges in cotton and soybean production and we continue to work on solutions from both the crop protection and seeds and traits perspectives," said Kerry Overton, Monsanto selective herbicides marketing manager. "We've been working on a plan that includes immediate ways to address those challenges through information, as well as incentives designed to take a season-long approach. This breakthrough with a new encapsulated formulation of acetochlor will be an important step forward in weed control while offering good crop safety."
MON 63410 is a new encapsulated formulation of acetochlor that provides for greater crop safety on cotton and soybeans than previous products like Harness herbicide and Degree herbicide. Both herbicides are approved for use on corn, where the compound already provides reliable pre-emergent residual control of grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. In comparative testing against currently registered products under an EPA experimental use permit during the 2009 season, MON 63410 provided similar crop safety results in cotton with improved control of Palmer amaranth, more commonly called pigweed. Soybean testing in the same season showed improved crop safety results and similar weed control to currently registered products.

Johnson's double propels Timbers past Dynamo
Portland, OR – Ryan Johnson netted a second-half double on Saturday as the Portland Timbers knocked off the Houston Dynamo, 2-0, at JELD- WEN Field.
Portland entered the match winless on the season and with only three points from four matches, but Johnson roared to life in the second 45 minutes to make sure his team claimed three points in front of a raucous crowd of over 20,000.
But it was the traveling side that had the better of the play in the first half with a great chance in the 32nd minute as Cam Weaver collected a cross in the box from Andrew Driver and turned it on goal, but the shot sailed over the bar.
Both sides had ample chances over the remainder of the first half, but the clubs went into the break scoreless.
Portland broke the deadlock in the 55th minute when Diego Chara whipped a cross into the Houston penalty area from the right flank and Johnson was there to direct it past Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall for the 1-0 lead.
Johnson grabbed his second of the night in the 73rd minute after he was put through by a great cutting ball from Darlington Nagbe, took a few touches into the penalty area and fired it into the top left corner to make it 2-0 for the home side.
The victory pushes Portland up to six points on the season, while Houston remains in third place in the Eastern Conference with nine points from five games.

jeez... is there anyway short of buying that I can get this stuff now? >_<
Yong, and SK.net actually helped in selling manga, not stopping sales.
As for Yong, he also has passworded the new stuff from Young Animal...no chance of getting that outside of a subscription...and I can't afford that
...I wonder if someone can do to paradiselost what Mike T did to you guys some months back...
Nah, that would be low...
Can someone mail me the adress of hakusensha, i'm gonna rat off yong's site, cuz it is more than obvious that homosexual sociopathic piece of rotten shit paradiselost and yong animal snitchbitch are in cohoots. I wanna hurt them anyway I can. If I was an ant, i'd enter their ears and eat their little brains.
I wouldn't say that about Yong... He scanned entire volumes.
Well, before seeing the scans I had no interest in buying the manga. The covers made it seem far more violent than things I normally read, and having seen it and read it...I will be buying it...that's what I meant by that.
Please White_Hawk...Lets be mature about this. Hate begets Hate.
yeah, the only people who really profit from imported manga are the sellers
And where do those sellers get them?Scans are obviously harmful, in my opinion.
Now, if I could, I'd buy the manga, but japanese are such xenophobics dorx
that it's usually a quest only to find original volumes outside Japan.
Japan is a pretty fertile market of comics, and I doubt some editor is losing by publishing new mangas. The mangaka aren't rich people (from what I know) and I think it's a business that can't be harmed by such insignificant things as a few scans.
Even if the whole series is posted somewhere, a true fan will strive to get the original.

Hardy with a Perfect FitVerified Buyer Reviewed by Robin from Wake Forest, NC on Monday, February 5, 2018My man works fabricating and installing large signs on the sides of buildings. It requires a great deal of climbing, crawling, bending, kneeling, scraping up against brick walls, and moving in and out of a 30' lift. When he's not working he's dog training and wading through brush, swamps and woods. These jeans have always served him well. They fit him perfectly, allowing enough room to move while not drooping. The pockets are well enforced which is essential given the number of drill bits and small items he's constantly placing in them. I like that these pants aren't just offered in blue. They are a great value and wash well.

Question & Answer
Questions about this product? Get answers from community and staff experts.
"When will more be in stock to order?"
I don't know. Not something available to me.
Due to the nature of the closeout business, we often receive items in limited quantities. Therefore, some sizes and colors can sell out quickly, and we do not have information future shipments. We suggest signing up for the My Updates as the best way to monitor incoming products. You will receive email notifications of our newest stock items.
When I try to place an order and my size is out of stock, I just check back daily and they usually pop up within a week. I must have a very common size, because they are always low on stock when I try and place an order. Hope this helps.
"When they say they are 5 pocket do they mean the one on the leg and not the change? The denim says the leg pocket but the colored ones do not."
The 5 pocket "style" does not include the leg pockets in the count.
"Are these pants light weigh it's hot here need the light jeans with side pockets "
Yes. We are in South New Mexico and not only are they a good summer weight, they have lasted a year- and still intact for this coming summer. Totally worth it. The 32's were long, I easily hemmed them.
According to Carhartt they are a lighter weight than the traditional duck pants.
I would call them "medium" weight. Light would be really thin cotton and heavy would be like thick denim. These are in between.
"What does factory seconds mean exactly?"
I have ordered many pairs of these and never found anything noticeable other than some loose threads in the pockets. I just trim them up.
They have a flaw somewhere meaning they can't be sold for full price in a department store. However the two pairs of pants we bought, we didn't notice any flaw at all and couldn't be happier. The flaw could be length, size, belt loops, etc. Minimal flaw but somehow detected upon inspection prior to sale.
It means there is some flaw, usually quite small, that makes them not "perfect" in some way. I have purchased over a dozen pairs of Carhartt "2nds" and I typically cannot find the flaw. ONE time I did actually find the flaw and it was about a 2 inch blemish in the fabric which looked lkike a double stitch or something similar. It was on the leg and in the back. I am a high school teacher and wear Carhartt canvas pants to work every day. They are as comfortable as blue jeans but look professional enough to meet our dress standards. Yes, you do take a bit of a risk. For example the flaw could be right in front and obvious. However, as I said, I have only ever found the flaw one time after nearly 15 pairs of pants have been purchased. For what is usually about half price----- it is worth it!!
Factories produce products in "runs." Be it jeans or cabinet doors or red solo cups. They inspect each run with random Quality Control tests. If a QC finds a certain # of items with flaws big enough to reject an item for retail sale, the entire run is typically rejected and placed into second-place status. Some items may be fine, some may have a visible defect, but the factory finds it more profitable to sell their seconds to warehouses in lots for a deep discount rather than take the time and pay an inspector to look over every single item in the run and sort out the 1st placers from the 2nd placers. The only flaw I noticed on my pants was that the button hole got messed up. still works, just not perfect.
Factory Seconds = items rejected by quality control as being flawed. The flaw could be visible or internal. It may affect functionality or it might not. Buying seconds is taking a chance, but it could be worth it or it might not. If the item is mission critical (life depends on it) then don't do it. If you can stand a wardrobe malfunction, well it might be worth it...
Good question, it is difficult to find any blemish on the pants I have purchased, near imperceptible.
2nds: Minor cosmetic blemishes or irregularities which do not affect the fit, performance, or longevity of the item. Label is usually clipped by the manufacturer. A small flaw means big savings.

"Are the side pockets big enough to hold a large cell phone?"
Not really, I have a 6 plus and need to use the back pocket. Only my Columbia shorts have a decent size cell phone pocket.
Depending, how large is large??? Right pocket measures 3 1/2" wide and 5 1/2" deep.....left leg is 2 3/4" wide by 6" deep....hope that helps. Fits both of my phones, but mine are not the mini laptops everyone is carrying now....pants are VERY comfortable....
My iPhone 6+ fit fine and easily accessible
Sorry, can't help you. These were a gift I sent at Christmas time.
Have a Droid Turbo @ and it fits with room to spare.
They will hold a IPhone 5S in an Otterbox defender case and an 6S with a slim case.
"Do these pants have the double knee?"
No the Carhartt Carpenter Jeans do not have a double knee
No they do not, and they are a little bit lighter weight fabric.
No, they do not have the double knee. They are also a lot softer than the ones with the double knee. Hoping they hold up as well!
no, but very much worth the price..soo you can replace when/if you wear the knee out!!!!
No they do not
No the product I received didn't
Do these jeans have double or triple knees,are these the same as work jeans?
"Can these pants be considered boot cut?"
The leg opening for these jeans is nineteen inches. In addition, the "Carhartt Fit Guide" on the Sierra Trading Post web site describes the "loose fit" as having wide leg openings. Sierra Trading Post has other Carhartt jeans that have straight leg openings instead of wide openings. Both the "traditional fit" and the "relaxed fit" Carhartt jeans have straight leg openings.
"What is the size of the leg opening @ the boot I am not looking for this to be big . They always look like your wearing bell bottoms"
The Carhartt Carpenter Jeans have a 19" circumference leg opening.
The leg opening for these jeans is nineteen inches. In addition, the "Carhartt Fit Guide" on the Sierra Trading Post web site describes the "loose fit" as having wide leg openings. Sierra Trading Post has other Carhartt jeans that have straight leg openings instead of wide openings. Both the "traditional fit" and the "relaxed fit" Carhartt jeans have straight leg openings.

I have a size 38 32. The bottom of the leg where the foot opening is 9 1/2". Definalely not bell bottoms, as there is a slight taper down the leg, comfortably covering the boot.
"Hi There,|Please tell me if these jeans have the side pockets on each leg. Thanks,|Tom Holden"
These pants do have the small pocket on the leg of each side.
They have pockets on each leg. The right leg pocket is wider, the left leg pocket is deeper.
No they are only on the right leg. (there is also a loop on the same leg)
Yes, there are low pockets (and regular top pockets) on the sides of both legs.
Hi Tom, Yes they do plus they have a cell phone pocket on the right side and on the left there is a smaller utility pocket. I orderd 6 pairs they are great. I hope this helps
Yes, these pants have pockets and hammer loops on both legs.
