Fingerprint Readers
The goal of the project is making fingerprint readers as easy as possible to use for secondary authentication.
See the use cases in the whiteboard.
- Name: Bastien Nocera
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 11
- Last updated: 2008-11-27
- Percentage of completion: 80% (some code available)
libusb1, and the required libfprint are available in rawhide (F-11). The authconfig patch to enable pam_fprintd
fprintd is being reviewed. It includes a pam plugin to not require a password for login. The authconfig patch to add fingerprint reader authentication is also in rawhide.
Enrollment support is being added to gnome-about-me.
Detailed Description
Currently, using Fingerprint readers is a bit of a pain, and installing/using fprint and its pam module take more time than should ever be necessary. The goal of this feature is to make it painless by providing all the required pieces in Fedora, together with nicely integrated configration.
Benefit to Fedora
Better Out-of-the-box experience for systems with fingerprint readers. Fedora will support one more piece of frequently found hardware.
Better integration would mean
- Having a D-Bus service for handling reading/using the fingerprint reader.
- The PAM module uses the VerifyStart method provided over D-Bus to authenticate users, and will be added to the default configuration.
- gnome-about-me would use the EnrollStart method to write a new fingerprint data file for the specified user.
- gnome-screensaver would be able to use finger scans to unlock the desktop
- Any other dialog presented to the user for authentication would be able to use finger scans
- The create-user dialog in firstboot or its replacement could offer to enroll the new user
Test Plan
- Person installs a laptop/desktop system with a fingerprint-reader that's supported by fprint
- Person sets their fingerprint in gnome-about-me
- Person can log in using their fingerprint
- Person deletes their fingerprint in gnome-about-me
- Person can no longer log in with their fingerprint
- Another thing to test: turning fingerprint support off in authconfig prevents login with fingerprint, but keeps the fingerprint data, so that turning it back on doesn't force people to re-enroll.
- Debian's fingerprint integration wiki
- Ubuntu's fingerprint integration wiki
- the fprint library
- supported fingerprint readers
- libfprint and libusb1
- authconfig support
- fprintd with pam module
Contingency Plan
Not installing the packages by default.
Release Notes
Fedora 11 supports authentication using fingerprint readers. Before you can log in using your fingerprint, you need to enable fingerprint authentication in authconfig (System → Administration → Authentication) and enroll your fingerprint in gnome-about-me (System → Preferences → Personal → About Me). For a list of supported fingerprint readers, see http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Supported_devices.

Major Wetlands of the World
Pantanal (Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay)
The Pantanal is one of the largest and best preserved wetlands in the world, covering a total area of 150,000km2. Its complex system of marshlands, floodplains, lagoons and interconnected drainage lines is home to over 658 species of birds, 190 mammals, 50 reptiles, 270 fish species and a truly outstanding 1,132 species of butterflies.
Camargue (France)
This place definitely has a certain je ne sais quoi! The Camargue encompasses the Rhone River delta in the southeast of France. Approximately a third of the Camargue is either lakes or marshland. It is one of the best places in Europe for bird watching. Its brine ponds provide one of the few European habitats for the greater flamingo. It is also famous for the Camargue bull and the Camargue horse.
Wasur National Park, Indonesia
Wasur National Park is a massive wetland region in the Indonesian province of Papua, on the island of New Guinea. Dubbed the Serengeti of Papua owing to its incredible biodiversity, Wasur National Park plays host to a large number of rare animals and birds, especially around Rawa Biru Lake. There are many water fowl species and migrant birds here along with cassowaries and wallabies. Unfortunately the park natural flooded grassland systems are threatened by the invasion of alien species such as water hyacinth and mimosa pigra.
Kakadu Wetlands, Australia
Kakadu National Park is a diverse park about half the size of Switzerland located in the Northern Territory of Australia. The freshwater and saltwater crocodiles sleep on the banks of the many rivers and billabongs for most of the day but can also be seen floating or swimming in the water. One of Kakadu's best known landmarks is the Yellow Water billabong. Located near the small settlement of Cooinda, Yellow Water is home to crocodiles, wild horses, buffalo and other wildlife. The billabong, which floods to join other waterways during the tropical season, also attracts millions of migratory birds each year.
Kerala Backwaters (India)The Kerala backwaters are a chain of lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast in the Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, fed by 38 rivers. The backwaters are home to many unique species of aquatic life including crabs, frogs water birds and animals such as otters and turtles. The area is becoming a popular tourist destination with several large Kettuvallams (traditional rice boats now converted into floating hotels) crusing the waterways.
Okavango (Botswana)This precious jewel of Africa wants your vote. The Okavango Delta is Africa's largest and most beautiful oasis. The river's mighty waters empty over the sands of the Kalahari. The huge Kalahari desert's thirst is locally quenched in a blue-green wilderness of fresh water, with emerald reed beds and towering trees. This brings in wildlife in huge numbers as they take advantage of this massive watering hole.
Kafue (Zambia)
The Kafue Flats are located in central Zambia along the Kafue River. This unique wetland landscape of grasslands, lagoons, marshes, swamps and reed beds covers some 6,500km2. It is one of the major wetlands in water-rich Zambia and is extremely important for wildlife, fishing, cattle-grazing, sugar-cane farming and the production of hydro-electric power.
Everglades (USA)The Everglades is one of the world's only rain-fed flooded grasslands on limestone and North America's most extensive flooded grassland. This wetland is one of nature's most efficient water treatment systems where plants filter pollutants out of the slow-moving water, delivering cleaner water to the Florida Bay, the Florida Keys, and nearby coral reefs.
Lower Danube and Danube Delta (Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine)This area boasts the largest reed bed in the world. It also attracts the largest colony of pelicans outside Africa. The Danube delta hosts over 300 species of birds as well as 45 freshwater fish species in its numerous lakes and marshes.
Sundarbans (Bangladesh)The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world. Sundarbans means 'beautiful forests', but the region may also have been named after the large number of Sundari trees that grow in the salty coastal waters. This area is definitely fit for royalty as it is home to possibly the largest population of Royal Bengal tigers in the world.

Seattle Seahawks' impressive run in the NFL playoffs ended at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons.
The top seeded Atlanta Falcons ended upstart Seattle's run Sunday by holding off the Seahawks in the fourth quarter for a 30-28 win in the National Football League playoff quarter-finals.
Matt Bryant kicked the game-winning 49-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining as the Falcons blunted a second-half surge by the Seahawks to advance to the National Football Conference championship game.
"I never cried after a win before," said Falcons veteran receiver Tony Gonzalez. "For us to come back the way we did. I am so proud of our guys. We knew they would make a run. I am so happy."
Quarterback Matt Ryan tossed three touchdown passes en route to his first playoff victory for the Falcons who blew a 20-point fourth quarter lead Sunday.
Heading into the game, Atlanta had lost their last four playoff contests.
Running back Michael Turner carried the ball 14 times for 98 yards and fifth-year Falcons quarterback Ryan threw for 250 total yards.
Ryan had lost his first three playoff games.
Atlanta, who are the No. 1 seed in the NFC, will host one of two NFL semi-final games next weekend against the the NFC West champion San Francisco 49ers.
The Falcons hope they can ride the home crowd at the Georgia Dome to their second Super Bowl appearance.
Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson looked poised to continue his Cinderella run Sunday but his sensational season ended with Bryant's field goal.
Wilson finished 24-of-36 for a playoff team record 385 yards with two touchdown passes and one interception. Wilson also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown on seven carries.
The loss snapped Seahawks' six-game win streak.
Marshawn Lynch finished with 46 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries for the Seahawks, who have lost their last four NFL playoff quarter-final games.
The last time the Falcons advanced to the league semi-finals was in 2004, when Jim Mora was the head coach and Michael Vick was the quarterback.
Ryan took over as the face of the franchise four years ago after disgraced quarterback Vick went to prison for his role in a dog-fighting ring.
But Ryan had come up empty in each of his three playoff appearances since then.
Ryan had a superb regular season in which he threw for a team-record 4,719 yards with 32 touchdown passes.

The Oakland Raiders will have to deal with one of their toughest defensive tests without one of the leaders in their secondary.
Starting strong safety Tyvon Branch will likely miss significant time with a right ankle injury starting with next Monday night's game against Peyton Manning and the high-powered Denver Broncos.
Branch is one of two returning starters on a much-improved defense for Oakland (1-1) that leads the league with nine sacks and has allowed just three scores on its last 17 drives. Branch got hurt rushing the passer in the first quarter of Sunday's win over Jacksonville.
Coach Dennis Allen would not confirm an ESPN report Monday that Branch broke his leg but said Oakland's highest-paid player in 2013 will be out for "some time."
"Man that hurts," backup safety Usama Young said Monday. "Hurts the team. Having a guy like that in the locker room, on the field, in meeting rooms. It's a devastation. As a group you have to put your best foot forward to go ahead and get the next guy up."
Young and Brandian Ross filled in admirably for Branch on Sunday and both will likely see time alongside Charles Woodson in Oakland's secondary. Ross has played mostly strong safety and Young has backed up Woodson at free safety, but the Raiders could start either one because the positions are similar enough and Woodson has experience at both.
"If Ty's out for a while then we've got guys that we feel can step up and make plays, whether it's strong safety, free safety," Allen said. "To me I look at those as interchangeable positions and they really need to be to be able to have the flexibility to do different things defensively. I think I've got confidence in all three of those guys that are back there."
Branch has been one of the few constants on a Raiders defense that has undergone major overhauls the past two offseasons. He started 64 of the past 66 games and has played virtually every snap when healthy.
"He's been in the system now for a while and he truly understands the game," Woodson said. "There's not much out there that's going to surprise him as a player. So you're going to miss a guy out there that has a great understanding of what to do and when to do it."
His absence will be particularly felt this week against Manning and the Broncos. Denver has scored 90 points the first two weeks with Manning throwing nine touchdown passes and no interceptions.
A dangerous offense has gotten even tougher to defend this season with the addition of Wes Welker to a talented receiving corps that already featured Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas. Welker has 12 catches for 106 yards and three touchdowns in his first two games in Denver, giving Manning yet another option.
"He's the best of the best, you know, and he's seen everything and he probably watches film probably more than anybody else and he's going to know what to look for when he walks up to the line," Woodson said. "The thing with him is you try your best to give him different looks and not let him know when you're in. If he knows what you're in, you see what he's done the first couple of weeks."
Since allowing touchdowns on the opening two drives of the season to Indianapolis, the Raiders defense has played very well, giving up just two touchdowns and one field goal since then.
Oakland has been more aggressive than a year ago and it has paid off in the sacks, including five from the defensive backs. But the Raiders have been unable to generate any turnovers.
"We have to get the ball," Woodson said. "Not to have any fumbles, not to have any interceptions has been tough. I'm used to having a couple myself at this point. That's what a great defense does. You stop people from moving the ball, you get off the field on third down and you get turnovers. We haven't gotten any over the first couple weeks, and that's something we've got to start doing. That's especially true against a guy like Peyton Manning."
NOTE: G Lucas Nix is having an MRI on his injured ankle that forced him out of the game in the third quarter. ... Allen said he believes K Sebastian Janikowski's two missed FGs have to do with a lack of comfort with new holder Marquette King rather than bad holds. Shane Lechler had held for almost all of Janikowski's first 13 seasons.

ropevim, rope in vim
Ropevim is a vim mode that uses rope library to provide features like python refactorings and code-assists. You should install rope library before using ropevim.
New Features
- improved support of multibyte sources
- implemented extended complete feature (disabled by default)
- ropemode is not the part of distribution now
Setting Up
First add ropevim folder to the PYTHONPATH (or install it using python setup.py install).
Then load ropevim.vim in vim. That can be done either by adding source path/to/ropevim.vim to your ~/.vimrc or copying it to ~/.vim/plugin/ folder.
If you don't want to install rope and ropevim you can add something like this to your ~/.vimrc:
let $PYTHONPATH .= ":/path/to/rope:/path/to/ropevim" source /path/to/ropevim.vim
For using the repository version of rope, see docs/ropevim.txt.
Getting Started
Refactoring Dialog
Ropevim refactorings use a special kind of dialog. Depending on the refactoring, you'll be asked about the essential information a refactoring needs to know (like the new name in rename refactoring).
Next you'll see the base prompt of a refactoring dialog that shows something like "Choose what to do". By entering the name of a refactoring option you can set its value. After setting each option you'll be returned back to the base prompt. Finally, you can ask rope to perform, preview or cancel the refactoring.
See keybinding section and try the refactorings yourself.
Finding Files
By using RopeFindFile (C-x p f by default), you can search for files in your project. When you complete the minibuffer you'll see all files in the project; files are shown as their reversed paths. For instance projectroot/docs/todo.txt is shown like todo.txt<docs. This way you can find files faster in your project. RopeFindFileOtherWindow (C-x p 4 f) opens the file in the other window.
RopeCodeAssist command (M-/) will let you select from a list of completions. RopeLuckyAssist command (M-?) does not ask anything; instead, it inserts the first proposal.
You can tell ropevim to use vim's complete function in insert mode; Add:
let ropevim_vim_completion=1
to your ~/.vimrc file.
Note that when this variable is set, autoimport completions no longer work since they need to insert an import to the top of the module, too.
By default autocomplete feature will use plain list of proposed completion items. You can enable showing extended information about completion proposals by setting
let ropevim_extended_complete=1
Completion menu list will show the proposed name itself, one letter which shows where this proposal came from (it can be "L" for locals, "G" for globals, "B" for builtins, or empty string if such scope definition is not applicable), a short object type description (such as "func", "param", "meth" and so forth) and a first line of proposed object's docstring (if it has one). For function's keyword parameters the last field shows "*" symbol if this param is required or "= <default value>" if it is not.
Note that you'll need rope r1558:0d76aa9d0614 or later and ropemode r35:bd77ca42b04d or later for extended complete feature to work.
Enabling Autoimport
Rope can propose and automatically import global names in other modules. Rope maintains a cache of global names for each project. It updates the cache only when modules are changed; if you want to cache all your modules at once, use RopeGenerateAutoimportCache. It will cache all of the modules inside the project plus those whose names are listed in ropevim_autoimport_modules list:
# add the name of modules you want to autoimport let g:ropevim_autoimport_modules = ["os", "shutil"]
Now if you are in a buffer that contains:
and you execute RopevimAutoImport you'll end up with:
from shutil import rmtree rmtree
Also RopeCodeAssist and RopeLuckyAssist propose auto-imported names by using name : module style. Selecting them will import the module automatically.
Filtering Resources
Some refactorings, restructuring and find occurrences take an option called resources. This option can be used to limit the resources on which a refactoring should be applied.
It uses a simple format: each line starts with either '+' or '-'. Each '+' means include the file (or its children if it's a folder) that comes after it. '-' has the same meaning for exclusion. So using:
+rope +ropetest -rope/contrib
means include all python files inside rope and ropetest folders and their subfolder, but those that are in rope/contrib. Or:
-ropetest -setup.py
means include all python files inside the project but setup.py and those under ropetest folder.
Finding Occurrences
The find occurrences command (C-c f by default) can be used to find the occurrences of a python name. If unsure option is yes, it will also show unsure occurrences; unsure occurrences are indicated with a ? mark in the end. Note that ropevim uses the quickfix feature of vim for marking occurrence locations.
Dialog batchset Command
When you use ropevim dialogs there is a command called batchset. It can set many options at the same time. After selecting this command from dialog base prompt, you are asked to enter a string.
batchset strings can set the value of configs in two ways. The single line form is like this:
name1 value1 name2 value2
That is the name of config is followed its value. For multi-line values you can use:
name1 line1 line2 name2 line3
Each line of the definition should start with a space or a tab. Note that blank lines before the name of config definitions are ignored.
batchset command is useful when performing refactorings with long configs, like restructurings:
pattern ${pycore}.create_module(${project}.root, ${name}) goal generate.create_module(${project}, ${name}) imports from rope.contrib import generate args pycore: type=rope.base.pycore.PyCore project: type=rope.base.project.Project
This is a valid batchset string for restructurings.
Just for the sake of completeness, the reverse of the above restructuring can be:
pattern ${create_module}(${project}, ${name}) goal ${project}.pycore.create_module(${project}.root, ${name}) args create_module: name=rope.contrib.generate.create_module project: type=rope.base.project.Project
- ropevim_codeassist_maxfixes: The maximum number of syntax errors to fix for code assists. The default value is 1.
- ropevim_local_prefix: The prefix for ropevim refactorings. Defaults to C-c r.
- ropevim_global_prefix: The prefix for ropevim project commands Defaults to C-x p.
- ropevim_enable_shortcuts: Shows whether to bind ropevim shortcuts keys. Defaults to 1.
- ropevim_guess_project: If non-zero, ropevim tries to guess and open the project that contains the file on which a ropevim command is performed when no project is already open.
- ropevim_enable_autoimport: Shows whether to enable autoimport.
- ropevim_autoimport_modules: The name of modules whose global names should be cached. `RopeGenerateAutoimportCache' reads this list and fills its cache.
- ropevim_autoimport_underlineds: If set, autoimport will cache names starting with underlines, too.
- ropevim_goto_def_newwin: If set, ropevim will open a new buffer for "go to definition" result if the definition found is located in another file. By default the file is open in the same buffer.
Uses almost the same keybinding as ropemacs. Note that global commands have a C-x p prefix and local commands have a C-c r prefix. You can change that (see variables section).
Some commands are used very frequently; specially the commands in code-assist group. You can define your own shortcuts like this:
:map <C-c>g :call RopeGotoDefinition()
Ropevim itself comes with a few shortcuts. These shortcuts will be used only when ropevim_enable_shortcuts is set.

StarDrive Review
Every other week it seems a new rumor from a reliable, yet unnamed source leaks concerning one next generation console or another. No doubt these rumors and the eventual hardware releases will reignite the PC versus Console debate (as though it has ever ended). Those not overly committed to one side or the other likely agree that really, it just boils down to what game or genre you are talking about. Some genres are best played on consoles, and some are best on PCs. Perhaps the best example for a PC genre is the real-time strategy, RTS, genre and certainly its 4X variant.
Standing for explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate, 4X games are characterized by large gameworlds, the need for players to quickly annex what resources they find, and then prove their superiority over their opponents through conflict or diplomacy, depending on what the developers decided on. Along the way to victory, players often must manage their economy, feed and defend their people, while also researching new technologies to improve their effectiveness at fulfilling these tasks. Balancing these demands often require micromanaging your empire, which 4X gamers typically enjoy, but gives the developers the awkward task of designing simple-to-use interfaces to micromanage without simplifying the management.
Enter StarDrive, a new, independently developed 4X game with some novel ways of approaching micromanagement. These, if not its outer-space setting, are what set it apart from other games of its genre. A fairly obvious example of this is its 'Shipyard' functionality (which will be explored in greater detail later) that allows players to customize the contents of any ship hull, buildable by their race. Want a Titan-class ship with only fight bays on it, or a Corvette-class that has all of its weapons on one side, for powerful broadside attacks? Just make sure you have the power plants to drive it all.
Is StarDrive the 4X game you have been waiting for, or does it exhaust, exasperate, and excoriate, execrably? Read on to find out.

Run Offense vs State
The brahs are all like "OMG Greg Jones" as if Manti Te'o isn't a faster, better version of him, assuring everyone who will listen and their poor disappointed mothers that sometime in the second quarter Jones will violently disembowel Denard so a funeral can be held at halftime.
Unfortunately for the brahs, the State defense hasn't lived up to those proclamations. Aided by an injury, MSU held Wisconsin's John Clay somewhat in check. He managed 80 yards on 17 carries, 4.7 per. They didn't do so hot against his backup James White, a smaller, speedier guy who averaged almost 10 YPC. Between the two primary tailbacks Wisconsin had 178 yards on 27 carries, 6.6 a pop. (White, a freshman, was also responsible for a couple of terrible blitz pickups.) A couple of those long runs came when MSU sucked inside and got punished by bounce-outs because of irresponsible play; against Denard Robinson getting irresponsible is six points conceded.
Meanwhile, ND's Armando Allen averaged 5.5 YPC on just 13 carries, though MSU did keep ND's other tailbacks down. Overall, ND tailbacks averaged 4.5 YPC, almost exactly what they managed against Michigan. I think we know what happens when Michigan's rushing offense goes against the Michigan defense.
That's it as far as useful comparisons go. Western Michigan is 114th and Florida Atlantic 116th in rush offense, and Northern Colorado is a 2-3 I-AA team.
So that seems encouraging, but Michigan was expecting to run against Michigan State last year and ended up averaging one yard per carry. Brown and Minor combined to for 17 yards on 10 carries. This was the first inkling that Michigan's rushing offense was something of a mirage:
Forcier kept the ball when he should have handed it off, most painfully on Michigan's overtime drive where a veer play absolutely had State for a ton of yards and maybe a touchdown but Forcier kept it and was forced to follow Minor into the hole for only four. Twice Brown burst into the open field with a lead blocker and naught but one player between him and the endzone and both times Brown and the lead blocker failed to beat that one guy. Martavious Odoms took a reverse and had absolutely cavernous space to cut up into but did not realize it until far too late and slipped making his cut. On several plays State had left themselves open for a big cutback run behind the center but the tailbacks did not take it. And, yes, the right side of the line repeatedly failed to crease State's DL or chop the backside DT when plays went away from it. State did a good job—on both of those potential big gainers the State player in question made a huge, touchdown saving tackle—but Michigan left a ton of yards on the field.
The offensive line was blown up, too. On GS's run chart your winner was Mark Ortmann's +1.
There were plenty of reasons for this, foremost David Molk's injury and the shuffling it imposed on the defensive line. David Moosman played center, adding another bad snap to the pair that killed drives in the Indiana game. Huyge played right guard and struggled so badly that journeyman John Ferrara got a drive or two in case he was better; Dorrestein was forced into the lineup at right tackle and struggled.
This year, Molk is back, Patrick Omameh has ascended to the starting right guard job and has performed at an all-conference level after a rough start against UConn, and donkey-hating Taylor Lewan has forced his way into the starting lineup past Huyge. Schilling and Dorrestein return as better players. And Michigan has the most dangerous runner in the country taking snaps.
State, meanwhile, lost Oren Wilson and Trevor Anderson from last year's defensive line. Anderson's been replaced by the clunky 6'7" Tyler Hoover, a redshirt sophomore who is a version of Greg Banks minus some of the veteran savvy. Wilson's replacement is a platoon of Kevin Pickelman and Blake Treadwell. MSU returns DT Jerel Worthy, their best DL by some distance, and meh DE Colin "Cam" Neely. Neely and Pickelman missed the Wisconsin game but will return this weekend. Their linebackers are senior versions of last year's guys.
State's been decent against the run but when BlueSeoul broke down the MSU-ND game in one of his extensive Picture-Pages-on-Steroids diaries a major reason for this was the general derpitude of ND offensive linemen in space:
Michigan linemen are from space. They voted for Zoltan and everything. If you put them in space they and the mountain goat receivers will show you your O-I'm-on-the-ground-and-Denard-is-fast face.
Michigan is going to get yards against this defense, but the torrid pace—7.1 YPC, first nationally and a full yard better than all but six teams—they're on should cool off somewhat. If MSU is intent on leaving the safeties back, this will be a steady drip of five, eight, ten yards. If they go Indiana on things it will be more erratic but prone to bigger plays. One key: will Michigan break out the midline option or the veer that Oregon (and now Nebraska) are slicing defenses apart with? Worthy is a guy who just tears after people; he could be exploitable against the midline. Michigan hasn't had to do anything new except pop out a pulling lineman or two; this is the week to deploy a completely new package.
Key matchup: Schilling, Molk, and Omameh versus Worthy and Pickelman/Treadwell. Last year State owned this matchup. Worthy is a quality player but the other defensive tackle is something of a weak spot; Michigan must win this matchup to get second-level players out on the State linebackers and keep the ground machine operating at full death.
Pass Offense vs State
This was also a source of OL ownage on State's part last year:
PROTECTION METRIC: 37/57, Team –5, Dorrestein –4, Ortmann –4, Ferrara –3, Huyge –2, Minor –2, Moosman –1.
That is terrible, and large parts of it can be blamed on the absence of one David Molk. People who would not have been playing otherwise picked up –7 and one bad Moosman snap was given –1: more than half of the 15 negative points assigned to specific players on the line are attributable in ways direct or indirect to Molk's foot.
Michigan's offensive line gave up five(!) passes (or attempts to pass) that were marked "pressure"; Forcier also added ten more attempts that were IN, BR, or TA, including the fatal super triple BR on the OT interception. Three flat drops did not help matters. Forcier managed to go 17/32 for 223 yards despite this, but the offense operated in fits and starts and relied on a burst of Stonum athleticism and desperation to get its two touchdowns.
That is not likely to repeat this year. For one, Michigan's tied for first nationally in sacks allowed with one thanks to a combination of Denard running, massive progress on the OL, and opponents being terrified of Denard breaking contain. Meanwhile, after losing Trevor Anderson and Oren Wilson, Michigan State is in the triple digits when it comes to acquiring sacks. They've got five; even Michigan's three-man rush is doing better (yes, yes, against an avalanche of passing spreads). When Michigan drops back to pass they'll have time.
Despite the lack of rush, State's pass defense has been at least decent:
|Notre Dame
Notre Dame racked up a bunch of yards and touchdowns but took 55 throws to get there and didn't put up a huge YPA; Wisconsin got thunked. A large portion of the latter was Tolzien having a bad day and Nick Toon dropping everything that came his way (and subsequently complained about not getting enough opportunities!). Even so, Michigan State has not been lit up in the same way Michigan has. A large part of that is the return of Johnny Adams from injury. Their okay senior corner (Chris L. Rucker) also managed to not explode his ankle, so they've got that going for them.
Even if the outside guys are kept in check, this could be a big day for slots. It appears that ninja-kicking former walk-on Jon Misch is going to be the weakside linebacker who spends much of his day hovering in the vicinity of the slots; the fact that he's in a true battle with hyped sophomore Chris Norman is probably not so good for State. MSU cornerbacks have also been historically poor at tackling, leaving bubble screens attractive options, and the main reason Notre Dame couldn't exploit MSU's addiction to the 4-3 was this equivalency: Stephen Threet : screen :: Dayne Crist : screen.
Robinson will have to throw more than usual and in some uncomfortable situations; this will depress his remarkable efficiency ratings. He should still have enough opportunities to hit big plays in the passing game to win.
Key matchup: Magee and friends versus hyperactive Michigan State run defense. We've seen it all year: Denard takes a step forward, causing the entire defense to fly downhill at him, then flicks a pass to Roundtree that he runs into or near the endzone no matter how far away from it he is. While State's probably spent time on defending that particular iteration of Denard Automatic Play Action, there will be other opportunities to rack up RPS +3; in this game Michigan is going to have to lean more towards balance on first down to prevent the drive-stalling two yard plays that happen when a team sells out, Tecmo Bowl-style, and gets it right.
Run Defense vs State
Michigan's run defense isn't good but it's probably better than the pass defense; against State they will be severely tested. Edwin Baker, Le'Veon Bell, and Larry Caper are all quality backs in the same mold: big, fast tackle-breakers slightly light on the shimmy. Bell has more RAGE, Baker more breakaway speed. Caper is returning from injury and may have gotten Wally Pipped by Bell, a who-dat recruit out of Columbus who arrived in a chariot of thunder and said "surprise!" They're all OR on the depth chart, but Caper's had six carries in MSU's two actual games. He is OR in name only.
The other guys:
|Edwin Baker
|Le'Veon Bell
|Edwin Baker
|Le'Veon Bell
That's… uh… kind of terrifying, actually.
Michigan's most relevant outing was the opener against UConn and their similarly power-heavy stone age offense; in that game Jordan Todman had 20 carries for 105 yards, 5.3 per. That's not awful; Todman is legit. In his two other games against D-I foes he put up 192 on a Temple and 190 on Vandy. While those aren't the greatest opponents UConn returned Todman and four offensive lineman from last year's #39 rush offense and appear to be picking up at or above where they left off.
Oh, wait, right: UMass. Crap. Michigan also got imploded by UMass on a series of counters and power running plays on which the linebackers got lost. While Mouton and Ezeh played much better in the two games since the opponents were Bowling Green and Indiana, two passing spreads with no clue how to run the ball that are allergic to pulling linemen. Any hope derived from those games should be vague and humble.
HOWEVA, after watching the Wisconsin game I'm weirdly optimistic Michigan can not die in a fire. Wisconsin's DL was in the backfield a lot and big chunks of MSU's rushing yards came on a misdirection fourth and one pitch and an instance where Wisconsin was badly misaligned against a full house backfield. When it came to just lining up and running it State didn't open many holes. Their tailbacks did drag tacklers all day. If Michigan's linebackers have their heads on straight I can see something similar going down where Michigan does enough to force a bunch of second and long.
Simple power plays and zone stuff probably won't go very well but State has to run it to set up the rest of their offense of counters and play action; I bet the counters are consistent gashers and the regular stuff pops a run or two but also sees a lot of two-yard gains. Some of these will get up to four or five thanks to the quality tailbacks; by the end of the day numbers similar to the UW game are likely.
Key matchup: Cam Gordon run support versus backbreaking long runs. MSU's rush offense is the usual old-school thing Michigan fans will remember from Lloyd Carr's days: a lot of grinding, a lot of meh results, the occasional long gainer that happens when someone busts an assignment or a tackle. For Michigan to keep MSU's numbers in the Wisconsin-or-below range Gordon is going to have to go 10/10 on opportunities to take down MSU backs breaking past the linebackers.
Pass Defense vs State
You know the story on Michigan's side of the ball. When it comes to Michigan State, they still have Kirk Cousins. Cousins is a somewhat mobile pocket passer with good accuracy who makes a lot of excellent decisions… and two or three mind-boggling throws per game.
He usually does the latter bit when he's pressured. He has a tendency to chuck the balls Ben Chappell was tossing into the stands at covered receivers. He threw two interceptions against Wisconsin, one horrible, one a ball deflected at the line that seemed like it was going directly to a double-covered receiver and was going to be picked off anyway. In the second half he got lucky on a back-foot throw that could have been a pick-six if it was more accurate.
State's receivers are analogous to Michigan's—a solid unit without a Braylon/Plaxico superhero. Mark Dell, Keshawn Martin, and BJ Cunningham have split receptions almost right down the middle, and if you squish MSU's two TEs into one body you can say the same thing about Charlie Gantt and Brian Linthicum. There is no one go-to guy. If you're pigeonholing, Martin is the explosive slot guy, Cunningham the big possession guy whose ability downfield comes more from muscle than speed, and Dell a pretty good generic outside receiver. To compare them to Michigan guys: a poor man's Steve Breaston, Junior Hemingway, and… uh… a rich man's Ron Bellamy? There isn't really a good Michigan analogue for Dell. Anyway, it doesn't really matter who they are because they will be open. State's receivers have had a case of the dropsies this season, FWIW.
BlueSeoul picked out a specific thing State does well that Michigan's defense has seen a lot of in practice but still can't defend: the bubble.
Prepare yourself for this. Michigan is going to put either James Rogers or a freshman out on the outside. One will be playing in the parking lot; the other will get blocked into the parking lot. Michigan State is going to eat up yards on bubble screens, and you will be enraged.
This looks like a functional passing game run by something that's not a duck. This means doom so far as it's possible. Will Michigan State abandon its usual gameplan of "run or play action on 80% of first downs" in an effort to attack the Michigan secondary? Probably not since it's not likely anyone will mistake the M run defense for the 2006 unit. Will they have considerably more success on third down than they should? Yes.
Key matchup: Martin and Roh versus the MSU OL. Michigan has the opportunity to pick off some passes of their own if Cousins is dealing. Sometimes this happens when receivers are covered and he just tries to MAKE PLAYS; usually its an artifact of someone getting in on Cousins. The turnover margin will be huge, and Michigan should have an advantage if they get quarterback pressure.
Special Teams
An advantage for Michigan State. Martin returned a punt for a touchdown against Wisconsin and the Spartans have one of those kicker guys. Dan Conroy is 7/7 on the year. They're also averaging 38 net yards on punts, which is around 40th nationally. Michigan can't return punts or kick field goals and freshman punter Will Hagerup is still working through the jitters. Hagerup seems to be coming around, but Michigan hasn't even attempted a field goal since the first half against UMass and seems happy to keep it that way.
Will it matter? Maybe not. Special teams have not played a major role in Michigan's last few games because touchdowns have been plentiful, and both kickoff return units are weak. Michigan's probably going to go for it on fourth and reasonable distance once they crack the MSU 40 until game theory concerns kick in late. MSU is more likely to make their field goals and more likely to get a big punt return; the net effect of that bonus will either be negligible or large with little in-between.
Key matchup: STOP KICKING THE DAMN BALL
Cheap Thrills
Worry if...
- Denard allows his usual backup quarterback cameo, and continue worrying until he returns to the field.
- MSU's line is kicking M's ass again.
- This jumping the snap business happens again.
Cackle with knowing glee if...
- Michigan State's maligned defensive coordinator leaves the safeties back in a Norm Parker-style adherence to old principles in the face of new technology.
- A significant new addition (midline, veer) to the running game leaves MSU's defensive gameplan in shambles.
- Roh rushes the passer lots.
Fear/Paranoia Level: 6 (Baseline 5; –1 for Michigan State's First Road Game Unless You Count Playing In Front Of Sixteen Fans In Detroit, +1 for They Hit Wisconsin Upside The Head With Ten Pounds Of Ham, –1 for Previous Defensive Performances Say Michigan Can Run Lots, +1 for Competent Passing Offense Versus Sack Of Confused Cats, +1 for Oh God What If Field Goals Are Relevant, –1 for Denard!, –1 for Vegas Is In The Tank For M, +1 for Annual Crazy Michigan State Over-Preparation, +1 for No Reason Except The Lump In The Throat.)
Desperate need to win level: 10 (Baseline 5; +1 for Would Be The Definitive 2010 Is Not 2009 Answer, +1 for Would Force Inane Media Narratives To Switch To A Different, Less Annoying Inanity, +1 for Would Cause Uppity State Fans To STFU, +1 for The Alternative About The Annoying State Fans Is Horrible To Contemplate, +1 for Constant Rich Rodriguez Job Rescue Campaign)
Loss will cause me to... get really annoyed at the little Dantonio head growing out of my shoulder. I mean, you think it's annoying now, let me tell you… man.
Win will cause me to... forcibly suppress any ideas Michigan might be playing Ohio State for the Big Ten title at the end of the year.
The strictures and conventions of sportswriting compel me to predict:
Well… dammit. I didn't really know what would happen against UConn. I didn't really know what would happen against Notre Dame. And I don't really know here. Is Wisconsin the top-ten team I was terrified of before the season or was last year a mirage? Is Indiana's passing offense really a high-powered knife cannon aimed directly at the Big Ten's tingly bits? Denard? Greg Jones?
There is a common opponent:
- Michigan beat Notre Dame 28-24, outgaining the Irish by a narrow margin if you discount ND's last drive on which Michigan was happy to cede 40 yards. The game was on the road, but Dayne Crist missed a quarter and a half. Michigan missed two field goals, but why wouldn't they miss two more against MSU?
- Michigan State beat Notre Dame 34-31 in overtime on the trick field goal. Yardage was basically dead even. The game was at home, but Crist went the whole way.
This tells us nothing. At the end of regulation ND had four extra points against State. The home-road flip is worth another six. A reasonable estimate of how many points Crist's absence cost Notre Dame is ten. Flarbity doo, I'm wearing a shoe.
So: I think Michigan's offense is not going to slow down much against what is likely a mediocre Big ten defense. Their drives will be longer because MSU is not a flamingly awful Big Ten defense, but the overall efficacy of them won't be too far off the high level they've established so far this year. I think State will do much the same to M. The home/road flip should be good for a stop or two; Michigan's defense will not be the wasteland it was against Indiana if only because they'll be going up against an offense less suited to torch it; the freshmen defensive backs will have more of a clue; Michigan is likely to end up in the black in TO margin since a somewhat pick-prone Cousins will be putting the ball up more frequently than Denard.
Finally, three opportunities for me to look stupid Sunday:
- MSU safeties combine for more tackles than Greg Jones.
- Denard goes for 150 on the ground.
- Michigan finally looks like they've prepared for this game specifically.
- Michigan, 35-30.

Acknowledging crushing public criticism, CBS News President Andrew Heyward said yesterday that his network would seek to resolve questions about disputed documents relied on in a story a week ago to allege that President Bush had used well-placed connections to avoid fulfilling his military duties while in the Texas Air National Guard.
Some leading Republicans on Capitol Hill denounced CBS yesterday, calling on the network to characterize the unnamed source of the papers. Rep. Christopher Cox, a California Republican, called for a congressional investigation, saying there was a "growing abundance of evidence that CBS News has aided and abetted fraud."
The network continued to maintain yesterday that its documents are real based on a "preponderance of the evidence." But on the CBS Evening News last night, Heyward said: "Enough questions have been raised that we're going to redouble our efforts."
The original story, narrated by Dan Rather and broadcast Sept. 8 on 60 Minutes, featured an interview with Ben Barnes, a powerful Texas Democrat who said he intervened to secure a slot for Bush in the Texas Air National Guard. He said he was acting at the behest of a friend of Bush's father, then a congressman, to protect the younger Bush from serving in combat in Vietnam. But Rather told viewers new revelations were contained in "a number of documents we are told were taken from [Lt. Col. Jerry B.] Killian's personal file." Killian, then Lieutenant Bush's squad commander, complained that Bush had refused direct orders and used connections to avoid fulfilling his duties, according to the documents.
Elements of the story quickly came under withering fire. Independent document experts questioned the style and spacing of the type on the supposed memos. Family members of Killian, who died in 1984, said they doubted the memos were real. And Marion Carr Knox, Killian's former secretary, told newspapers and CBS that they were not genuine, although she said his reported feelings toward Bush had been reflected in similar documents that she had typed at the time.
Referring to the records obtained by CBS, Knox told Rather: "I know that I didn't type them. However, the information in those is correct."
Last night, CBS seized on Knox's characterization to bolster its case for the memos.
CBS also identified the four experts it had consulted to authenticate the Killian papers. In recent days, Linda James and Emily Will, two analysts who said they were asked by CBS to review the documents before the broadcast, have stepped forward to say they raised questions about the memos before the broadcast, but the network brushed their doubts aside. In a statement, CBS said that the two had misstated their involvement, adding that the two women "played a peripheral role in the authentication process" and had deferred to the judgment of San Francisco-based document examiner Marcel Matley, who has defended the authenticity of some aspects of the memos. A fourth examiner, James J. Pierce, also continues to support the documents, the network said.
But in interviews with The Sun, both women said they had not deferred to Matley.
"That is untrue," James said yesterday by telephone. "I did not authenticate them. This keeps on getting more and more involved."
Instead, James, a document examiner from Texas, said that she had been asked by CBS to look at several apparent Killian documents five days before the broadcast and that she made clear her reservations about them.
Will, a North Carolina-based documents consultant, said she was sent two copies of memos to review by the network three days before the broadcast. One, a document dated August 1972 that was used on the air, contained only initials, not a signature.
Before the broadcast, Will said, she told the network she could not vouch for the authenticity of the initials and also expressed reservations about some of the typewriting features - for example, a superscript "th" next to the number 111, which is more common to papers produced on modern word processors than typewriters of the early 1970s.
In an interview yesterday, Will said she called a journalist at CBS the night before the broadcast - she declined to name the person - to ask whether the network was pressing on with the story. When she learned it was, she repeated her concerns, telling them: "If you run that on the air Wednesday, you're going to have problems with people like me on Thursday."
Will said the network's reliance on photocopies made it difficult to speak with any certainty on the documents' validity.
CBS also produced two experts after the first broadcast who said it was possible such documents dated back to the early 1970s because typewriters with such features did exist. And the network also said that, in addition to the now-disputed papers, it relied on corroborating interviews from Killian's Air National Guard colleagues to support the depiction of his views.
Until last night, CBS had declined to release the names of the experts it relied on to review the documents. Will said that that confidentiality came at the direction of the network and that she felt they were abusing that agreement to misrepresent her stance.
"The statements they were issuing made it sound like they had no reason to doubt the documents at all - that the experts all backed them up," Will said. "Considering the things they were continuing to say, I felt morally released from that agreement."
Rather's involvement in the politically charged story has led some Bush allies to challenge the network's general credibility.
The conservative talk show host Sean Hannity questioned the legitimacy of photographs obtained by the same 60 Minutes producer, Mary Mapes, that led to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal this year. Yesterday, CBS called Mapes "a well-respected, veteran journalist whose credibility has never been questioned [and who] has been following this story [on Bush] for more than five years."
Some other observers argued that CBS has been too slow to respond.
"CBS was had," an editorial in the Los Angeles Times said yesterday. "Who fed a seeming ringer to CBS, and why did the network fall for it?"

Introducing the PlayStation 4 - Arrives Holiday 2013
Posted: 05:51PM
Author: bp9801
After a solid year of rumors on Sony's next PlayStation, the console has finally been announced. Sony announced the PlayStation 4 a little while ago, and while details are still pouring in, what's known so far is pretty impressive. For starters, the PS4 has been in development for five years, uses an AMD x86 CPU with eight cores, an "enhanced PC GPU", an indeterminate amount of internal hard drive storage, and 8GB of GDDR5 unified memory. The exact AMD processor isn't mentioned, though it'll be a "Jaguar" APU with a combined CPU and GPU on the same die. There's a new controller too, the DualShock 4. It's similar in shape to the past models, but on the front is a small touchpad, the top has a light bar to better ID players, the grips are rubberized, and there's a headphone jack. There's also Share and Options buttons on either side of the touchpad, which I'll discuss in a moment.
Sony wants the PlayStation 4 to be a seamless experience with minimal lag between you and the content. The PS4 allows games to be paused and resumed right where you left off with just a button press. It allows for a great deal more multi-tasking, which is always good to see. Internally, the console has a second chip dedicated solely to uploads and downloads. Games (and other content I imagine) can be download in the background (no firmware update necessary) or when the PS4 is turned off, plus you can begin playing a game as it's downloading. How's that for console innovation?
Now, back to that DualShock 4 and its new features. The light bar works in tandem with a new stereo camera to track position and identify the players. Sounds like an upgraded and built-in PS Move, although the current PS Move controllers are still supported. The touchpad is of the capacitive variety and can be clicked like a giant button, plus it should allow for easier ports of touch-enabled games at the least. That Share button is something else though, as it allows gamers to record and share gameplay clips with friends via Ustream and Facebook. Plus, thanks to Sony's acquisition of Gaikai, gamers can broadcast gameplay to their friends and if they get stuck, a friend can jump in and help out.
The PS4 is heavily consumer focused and can learn your likes and dislikes over time. It can even begin to download content based on previous purchases, though I imagine there'll be some kind of user-defined restriction on that. You can even see what your friends download so you no longer have to ask if they've tried out a certain game/demo. As for demos, well, Gaikai is offering another new feature, which lets you download any game and start playing right away. It's an impressive try before you buy feature, but it isn't just a demo or "lite" version of a game; it's the actual game that you can purchase later.
Remote Play gets an even bigger focus than ever before, as it's built directly into the PS4's architecture. Games can be streamed to a PS Vita, with the PS4 acting as a server and the Vita as a client. It should allow for decreased transmission time, plus you can immediately switch the game to the Vita if the TV is needed for something else. Provided you have a Vita, that is, but it's hinted at that other devices like smartphones and tablets could get the feature too. If you're wondering about backwards compatibility, well, there's some good news and some bad news. The bad news is there's no native backwards compatibility, but the good news is PS1, PS2, PS3, and even PS Mobile games can be streamed from the cloud. No word on how that'll be determined, but hopefully there's some way to scan in your current catalog of games (possibly via account registration) instead of rebuying everything.
Several games were announced for the PS4 as well, with plenty of others on the way. Some of the titles shown tonight include inFamous: Second Son from Sucker Punch, Killzone: Shadow Fall from Guerilla Games, Knack from Japan Studio, DriveClub from Evolution Studios, The Witness from Jonathon Blow (creator of Braid), and others. Blizzard is bringing Diablo III to both the PS4 and PS3, while Bungie is bringing its newly revealed Destiny to the console. A new Final Fantasy is also on the way, though Square Enix didn't reveal a name, Capcom showed off its new Panta Rhei game engine and Deep Down (working title), and Ubisoft revealed Watch Dogs will come to the PS4.
Sony didn't mention a price for the PlayStation 4, but we do know it's arriving this year. A holiday 2013 launch is planned for the PS4, though an exact date wasn't listed. The PS4 does have a Blu-ray drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI out, Analog-AV, and optical out. USB 3.0 ports are also available, as well as an AUX port, though its exact use is unknown. Below are some pictures of the DualShock 4 from various angles, plus the new Eye camera for the system. It's listed as having a 1280x800 sensor capable of 60fps video capture.

- "Hissy, hissy, little snakey,
Slither on the floor
You be good to Morfin
Or he'll nail you to the door."
- —Morfin Gaunt in Parseltongue[src]
Morfin Gaunt (fl. 1925-1943) was a pure-blood wizard descended from Salazar Slytherin. He was the son of Marvolo Gaunt, brother of Merope Gaunt, and uncle of Tom Marvolo Riddle. After he hexed Tom Riddle Sr. with painful hives, a Muggle who lived near his home in Little Hangleton because his sister was infatuated with him, Morfin was imprisoned in Azkaban for three years. When he returned home, his father and sister had already died. In 1943, Morfin met his nephew, who killed his paternal family and then altered Morfin's memory so that he believed he was the murderer. Morfin died in Azkaban, but not before Albus Dumbledore learned the truth about the Riddle murders.
Early lifeEdit
- Tom Riddle: "...that cottage belongs to an old tramp called Gaunt, and his children. The son's quite mad, you should hear some of the stories they tell in the village—"
- Cecilia: "Tom, I might be wrong — but has somebody nailed a snake to that door?"
- Tom Riddle: "Good lord, you're right! That'll be the son, I told you he's not right in the head."
- — Tom Riddle Sr. and Cecilia discussing Morfin[src]
Morfin lived with his father and sister in a shack near Little Hangleton. Generations of inbreeding in the House of Gaunt caused a defect in Morfin, rendering him mentally deranged and violent. He almost exclusively spoke in Parseltongue and frequently terrorised Muggles, including Tom Riddle Sr. after Morfin noticed his sister watching him with interest. He, like his father, was abusive toward Merope.[1]
First imprisonmentEdit
- "She likes looking at that Muggle. Always in the garden when he passes, peering through the hedge at him, isn't she? And last night... Hanging out of the window waiting for him to ride home, wasn't she? But I got him, Father! I got him as he went by and he didn't look so pretty with hives all over him, did he, Merope?"
- —Morfin to his sister about her infatuation with Tom Riddle Sr.[src]
Morfin's violent behaviour eventually led to the Ministry of Magic pressing charges against him; in particular for causing Tom Riddle Sr., a Muggle, to erupt with hives. Bob Ogden, head of the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol, was sent to summon Morfin to a hearing, but the Gaunts resisted violently, including firing a jinx that caused yellow puss to flow from Ogden's nose. When Ogden returned with reinforcements, he arrested both Morfin and Marvolo. Morfin received a three-year sentence in Azkaban while his father was imprisoned for six months.
While they were incarcerated, Merope married Tom Riddle, probably by using a Love Potion on him. She died soon after giving birth to a son, Tom Marvolo Riddle. Marvolo returned from prison to an empty house and died before his son was released from Azkaban.[1] When Morfin finally returned, he found his father dead. He, therefore, became the last heir to the Gaunt family and inherited the shack and the family signet ring, their last heirloom. Over the years, Morfin lived in a much more deplorable state than ever, as Merope was no longer there to clean the house. Morfin let his hair grow to extreme lengths and mouldy food and dust appeared to cover the entire inside of the house.
Second imprisonment and deathEdit
- "Whatever Morfin Gaunt was, he did not deserve to die as he did; blamed for a crime he didn't commit."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Morfin's death[src]
Morfin's teenage nephew came to Little Hangleton to learn about his family in the summer of 1943. He met Morfin, who thought that this stranger looked "mighty like that Muggle", referring to the elder Tom Riddle. He told him of what transpired between the man and Merope, which infuriated Riddle Jr. to the point of seeking revenge. After stunning Morfin, Tom went to the Riddles' home and murdered his father, grandfather, and grandmother with the Killing Curse, using Morfin's wand. He covered up his crimes by altering Morfin's memory, causing him to believe he was the killer.
When the Ministry of Magic investigated the crime, Morfin freely admitted to it and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. They checked Morfin's wand to see what its last spell was, and saw that it was the Killing Curse. Because of this evidence of Morfin's own, boastful confession, the Ministry saw no need to further investigation by means of Legilimency or Veritaserum. Before leaving, Tom also took the family signet ring from Morfin and wore it like a trophy at Hogwarts, which led Morfin to lament how his father would kill him for losing the ring for the rest of his life. It was eventually turned into one of Tom's Horcruxes.
Albus Dumbledore sought Morfin out in prison, and after difficultly extracting the true memory of his meeting with his nephew, determined that his memory had been tampered with. Dumbledore immediately used the true memory to appeal for Morfin's release from Azkaban. Unfortunately, by that point Morfin was weakened to such an extent that he died before he could be exonerated. He was buried beside the prison alongside the other prisoners who expired within its walls.[1]
Physical descriptionEdit
- "The man standing before them had thick hair so matted with dirt it could have been any colour. Several of his teeth were missing. His eyes were small and dark and stared in opposite directions. He might have looked comical, but he did not; the effect was frightening, and Harry could not blame Ogden for backing away several more paces before he spoke."
- —Harry Potter's impression of Morfin Gaunt while in Bob Ogden's memory in the Pensieve[src]
Morfin was described as having thick hair matted with dirt, missing teeth, and small dark eyes that stared in opposite directions. Harry thought such an appearance should be humourous, but instead Morfin looked frighteningly deranged.[1] Upon meeting Bob Ogden, a Ministry of Magic representative, Morfin brandished both a wand in one hand and a short, bloody knife in the other. After his sister's departure and father's demise, Morfin eventually let his hair and beard grow so long that it covered his eyes and mouth.
Personality and traitsEdit
Generations of inbreeding in the Gaunt family has caused a defect within Morfin, rendering him an overall violent and deranged individual. Morfin shared the same ideology with his father and liked to torture and hex muggles, without caring about the law, the community, or anyone else, except for his father, whom he respected, because they were both violent and pure-blood supremacists. As Merope was a blood traitor, Morfin was very disrespectful and abusive to her. After her departure from the shack, he brutally insulted her and called her a thief for stealing the locket heirloom. Furthermore, Morfin was sadistic, as he liked to torture snakes, nailing them to the door, despite his ancestor's affinity towards them.
Magical abilities and skillsEdit
- Non-verbal magic: Morfin was highly skilled at hexes and jinxes, and could even do them nonverbally, a skill very difficult to master. He attacked Bob Ogden with a jinx that caused yellow pus to flow from his nose without an incantation. He also cast a curse on Tom Riddle which resulted in him being covered in painful hives, though it is unknown if this one was nonverbal. He also sent a flurry of non-verbal hexes at Ogden when Ogden sent a Relashio charm to stop Marvolo Gaunt from strangling his daughter.
- Parseltongue: As with the rest of his family, Morfin inherited the ability to speak to snakes from their ancestor. Morfin was proficient with the language, enough to communicate with his family and Ogden with it.
- The name Morfin is a variaton of "Morfey", an Anglo-French surname meaning "ill-omened," or "ill-fated".
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Appears in flashback(s))
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) (deleted scene)

While humans are genetically and neurologically hard-wired for speech, this is not true for reading, which must be learned through conscious effort. Nemours BrightStart! is designed to identify preschoolers at risk for reading challenges.
Warning Signs for Reading Failure
Some "at-risk" warning signs in children,
4 to 6 years old, include difficulty with:
- identifying letter names and sounds
- reading and writing his/her name
- rhyming
- separating and blending word parts
- reading several words
Dyslexia: A Bright Mind That Learns Differently
Dyslexia, a specific type of learning disability generally diagnosed when a child is about 8 years old or in the third grade, is a neurodevelopmental reading disorder caused by subtle disturbances in brain structure and function.
Dyslexia is:
- Not caused by brain damage.
- Not caused by, or a sign of, low IQ.
- Not caused by vision problems, a major misconception being that the eyes or brain "flip" letters (reversed or flipped letters and words can be a part of dyslexia, but not in every case).
- Not a sign of low motivation or laziness.
Dyslexia is fundamentally a language-based disorder. People with dyslexia have difficulty analyzing and blending letter sounds within words, and building a large bank of easily recognized words.
Functional brain imaging studies have shown that dyslexic brains work differently than normal brains when reading occurs. However, after intensive instruction, dyslexic brains begin to function more like normal brains when reading.
Risk Factors for Reading Problems
While reading problems occur across all races, ethnicities, socioeconomic levels and in all written languages, there are specific risk factors:
- family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities
- low parental reading level
- preschool language disorder, especially language comprehension disorder
- attentional, behavioral or emotional problems that affect learning
- poverty and attendance at schools with a high poverty rate
Nemours BrightStart! is designed to engage educators, parents and health professionals with science-based resources that identify early warning signs and provide the tools to help young children with early literacy difficulties respond and adapt, which closes the reading readiness gap with their peers and prevents a possible future of reading failure.

Ireland bowler Max Sorensen continued where he left off on Friday to secure an innings victory against Scotland in the Intercontinental Cup.
Sorensen claimed the wicket of Majid Haq to put Scotland out of their misery after 10 overs of play on the fourth and final day as leaders Ireland won by an innings and 44 runs in Dublin.
Scotland had ended day three on 143 for eight and they managed 25 more runs before bowing to the inevitable at Clontarf.
Haq and Safyaan Sharif had brought a touch of respectability to Scotland's second innings before the latter fell for a final score of 60 to mark the end of Friday's play.
Iain Wardlaw came in to bat but only managed one run - his second of the match - before being caught out by Kevin O'Brien, who was winning his 200th cap, off the bowling of debutant Craig Young.
Alasdair Evans managed 14 and Haq got to 37 before O'Brien got his second catch of the day in the slips off the bowling of Sorensen as Scotland were all out for 168.
Sorensen had destroyed the Scots' top order on Friday, seeing off four of the opening five batsmen for a combined total of 10 runs. The South African-born medium-fast bowler ended on statistics of five for 37.
Ireland scored 350 in their innings to complete a successful series against the Scots following two World Cricket League victories that secured them the title and automatic World Cup qualification while Scotland must play off.
The victory against third-placed Scotland extends Ireland's lead at the top of the Intercontinetal Cup table to 32 points over Afghanistan.

midway needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 371 designs submitted by 88 freelance designers.
Southern Roots Nursery
Southern Roots Nursery is a company, located in the southeastern United States, that grows and sells vegetables (primarily lettuce and tomatoes) that are grown hydroponically (without soil) as well as flowers, plants and shrubs for landscaping residential lawns.
The company promotes a return to a more relaxed lifestyle, relishing life's simple pleasures (such as gardening at home) and quality (fresh, great-tasting, healthy vegetables) versus the hectic, day-to-day lives that most Americans live today.
There are two target audiences for Southern Roots Nursery:
1. Local restaurant chefs desiring fresh, great-tasting vegetables for their dishes.
2. Local residents desiring fresh, great-tasting vegetables for their families and those wanting a wide selection of healthy flowers, plants and shrubs for their home landscaping needs. The local residents purchase these products from the company's retail store.
1. The Southern Roots Nursery logo should be designed so that "Southern Roots" is more prominent than "Nursery".
2. The logo should convey a natural, sustainable, environmentally-friendly impression.
3. The full-color logo should be no more than 3 colors.
4. The logo should also be designed so that 1 color can be used, if needed.
5. An icon should be incorporated into the logo. The icon should be unique and easily distinguishable. For example, a green leaf, which is a quite common image to convey 'nature' or 'natural', would not be acceptable. Potential iconic images might include lettuce, tomatoes, flowers or even a hummingbird - although none of these suggested images is required. The icon can be either a detailed or abstract image.
6. The logo should be able to be used on both a large sign at the company's entrance or reduced to a small size and still be read (so that it can be included next to a dinner entree on a restaurant's menu that promotes the fresh vegetables included in the dish or printed on a small sticker that would be affixed to the vegetables for retail sale).

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court appears likely to side with Monsanto Co. in its claim that an Indiana farmer violated the company's patents on soybean seeds that are resistant to its weed-killer.
None of the justices in arguments at the high court Tuesday seemed ready to endorse farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman's argument that cheap soybeans he bought from a grain elevator are not covered by the Monsanto patents, even though most of them also were genetically modified to resist the company's Roundup herbicide.
Chief Justice John Roberts wondered "why anyone in the world" would invest time and money on seeds if it was so easy to evade patent protection.
The case is being closely watched by researchers and businesses holding patents on DNA molecules, nanotechnologies and other self-replicating technologies.

CES 2012: Sony Gets Serious About IEMs
CES 2012 was the coming-out party for Sony's in-ear headphones. Nearly buried in the talk of cell phones, media managers, and 3DTV was the announcement Monday night of Sony's first line of balanced-armature in-ear monitors (IEMs). This step up to a higher class of product shocked me for two reasons.
First, Sony introduced not one or two models, but 11 — including the first Bluetooth, noise-cancelling, and sports IEMs I've seen with balanced armatures. Second, at a time when pundits are starting to ridicule Sony as a company that — despite its "make.believe" tagline — doesn't actually make anything anymore, the company is manufacturing its own balanced-armature drivers. "We're not sourcing them from that one manufacturer everyone else sources them from," quipped Sony product manager Claude Schmidt.
OK, let's backtrack with a little tech talk. Almost all in-ear headphones use dynamic drivers, which are essentially tiny versions of the drivers in a conventional set of speakers, with diaphragms propelled by little voice coils. Balanced armature drivers move a speaker diaphragm through a device that resembles a tiny, motor-driven teeter-totter. Because balanced armatures can be small, they can fit deeper into your ear for a better seal, and they're also revered for clearer, more detailed treble. Balanced armatures are found mostly in IEMs prices priced about $200 or higher.
Basic models in the new Sony line include the $79 XBA-1, the $199 XBA-2, the $279 XBA-3, and the $349 XBA-4. The number at the end of the model designation indicates the number of balanced armatures used. So you can think of the XBA-2 as a two-way model with separate woofer and tweeter; the XBA-3 as a three-way model, adding a midrange driver; and the XBA-4 as a dual-woofer three-way. Each is also available with an inline mic/control for smartphones, an option that adds the designation "-iP" to the model number and $20 to the price.
Auditioning each model in the line was a fascinating experience. The XBA-1 sounded like a really good inexpensive IEM, but the sound got better and better until I tried the XBA-4, which sounded more like a really good pair of speakers than like a headphone. But with four drivers, the XBA-4 gets pretty bulky; S+V web editor Michael Berk told me he couldn't fit them in his ears.
The $89 XBA-S65 is basically a sport version of the XBA-1 with a really cool loop that you can tighten to fit snugly around your ear so the IEMs would probably stay in place even during your next Greco-Roman wrestling match.
The XBA-BT65 is a $299 model that's basically the XBA-1 with Bluetooth added. Its carrying case actually has its own internal rechargeable battery, which recharges the XBA-BT65 whenever the headphone is stored.
The $399 XBA-NC85 is the first noise-cancelling IEM I've seen that doesn't have a clumsy "lump in the line" for the electronics. It, too, uses the same driver as the XBA-1.
Schmidt summed it up well when he said, "This is a big step for us." But he also added, "It's just the beginning." Personally, I'm eager to give these new models a spin when they ship in late February or early March.

A Castle for Our Time: Astley Castle Wins the Stirling Award 2013
RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, has chosen Astley Castle as the winner of its 2013 Stirling Prize. This is the first time the prestigious award has gone to a revived historic building, rather than a completely new build. And get this– you can stay here.
The castle, located outside Birmingham in Warwickshire, is owned by the Landmark Trust, a UK charity which restores buildings of architectural and historic note and transforms them into incredibly unique holiday rentals (I speak from experience — my family are dedicated Landmarkers).
While the charity normally tries to be as authentic as possible in its restorations, in the case of Astley Castle, originally built in Saxon times and most recently updated in the 1770s, much of the building was in ruins, and beyond the point of re-creation. The Trust worked with UK architects Witherford Watson Mann on a design which both preserved the remaining features of the old building and brought the property into the 21st Century.
The contrast of raw timber against medieval stonework and the large glass walls framing picturesque country views make it clear why Astley Castle was the frontrunner for the award from the beginning, and also the favourite of the British public, according to polls in various media outlets. The space sleeps 8, and though fully booked for the foreseeable future, could make an amazing holiday base a little ways down the road.

coastal erosion control Applications
Erosion & sediment control solutions for costal/beach region
Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land or the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, or drainage. Removing sand and other materials from beaches and dunes due to tidal storm surges and construction purposes causes massive beach erosion damages and land loss of seashores, thus destroying the natural heritage of the coast and reducing the vibrancy of the tourism industry. Uprooting vegetation from coastal areas destabilises beaches and clearing sites inland results...

GodisaGeek: "Congratulations to Namco Bandai, as their JRPG is getting a huge amount of love right now, not least from the UK public, who have purchased enough copies to have the game enter in first place, this week in the UK Charts."
so highly in demand again. A masterpiece of a JRPG at that.
Grats to Namco. Definitely going to play this before the year has ended. Lets hope the PS4 is backwards compatible !
Congrats! Well deserved. Hopefully it will be number 1 for more than a week but even so it is a big accomplishment for a JRPG not named Final Fantasy.
Awesome news, they really needed this to be successful in the West and it looks like their gamble paid off well. Hopefully, this shows Japanese developers that Westerners are hungry for good JRPGs.
