Our beach trip!
As some of you know (mostly my twitter followers), I recently got back from a trip to Panama City Beach, FL. We usually go every year and had already been once a few months ago, but something about the weather and the ocean was extra pretty this time. The water was so unusually calm the first few days we were there which made it super easy to spot lots of cool ocean critters-- We saw stingrays and even a manatee! It was so fun. Here are a few photos of our trip!

The water there is so beautiful there too.
You are so lucky that you get to go there so often.

DUBLIN, October 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of Wintergreen Research, Inc's new report "Augmented Reality (AR): Market Shares, Strategies and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2016 to 2022" to their offering.
Game Based and Industrial End-To-End Process IoT Augmented Reality Modular AR markets Are Anticipated to Reach $7 Trillion by 2027
Worldwide AR markets are poised to achieve significant growth with the use of smartphone apps and headsets or glasses that are platforms to project digital information as images onto a game image or a work situation.
AR digital enhancement provides explanations and process predictions. Google pointed the way, as it so often does, to the AR opportunity with Google glass which failed, but spawned a large number of projects that have succeeded. All the AR vendors will reap the benefits of the Google original Google Glass huge AR marketing investment.
Augmented reality AR is set to become an indispensable part of people's lives. AR is poised to take off as part of the much heralded Internet of things (IoT). Digital images become as much a part of the real world as the things we can touch and feel as they are integrated into everyday life. The reality is augmented by the digital images. Augmented reality is a misnomer to the extent that it implies that reality is somehow has something superimposed on it. Instead the reality exists, and the digital images blend in to enhance the experience of reality, make it more understandable or more interesting. The reality is not changed, it is not made better, it is understood better.
Use-cases for AR proliferate. Pokemon Go points the way to, illustrates, the huge game market opportunity looming on the ubiquitous smart phones.
Adoption of AR technology in the enterprise is growing. AR headsets and glasses are used in manufacturing, logistics, remote service, retail, medical, and education. One popular AR application is providing see-what-I-see' functionality, enabling off-site specialists to provide real-time guidance and expertise to troubleshoot an issue. Others superimpose process steps by step information on dials and switches in workflow situations.

When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Le...

Poor data quality and analytics drive down business value. In fact, Gartner estimated that the average financial impact of poor data quality on organizations is $9.7 million per year. But bad data is much more than a cost center. By eroding trust in information, analytics and the business decisions based on these, it is a serious impediment to digital transformation.

The track extensions will allow two additional trains to be stored at the Port Washington Station, paving the way for additional express service and improved service to Citi Field and U.S. Open events, served by the Port Washington line.
Once the East Side Access project is complete, the LIRR estimates that approximately 45 percent of its Port Washington Branch customers will opt for trains heading to Grand Central with commuting time cut by up to 40 minutes a day as crosstown subway and bus trips become a thing of the past. In order to offer the additional service to Grand Central, the LIRR requires more space to position extra trains at the existing Port Washington yard so they can be ready for the morning rush.
"This track extension project at our existing yard will have immediate benefits for Port Washington customers," said LIRR President Helena Williams.
The LIRR has pledged to work with town officials and community leaders to try and minimize the impact of the project on parking at the Port Washington station. Under a preferred proposal, the LIRR would purchase a piece of property from the town of North Hempstead at market value and also utilize a portion of the LIRR's Haven Avenue lot, resulting in the loss of approximately 40 parking spaces. If the LIRR uses only its own property for the track extensions, the entire LIRR Haven Avenue lot, including approximately 140 parking spaces would be needed for the track extensions.
The additional yard space at Port Washington will improve train service for Port Washington Station by offering increased AM and PM Peak service, enhanced express service, frequent service to two Manhattan terminals (once East Side Access opens) and more service for special events.

Troy Smith Got Screwed
I mean come on!
As U-M fans, we are no lover of Ohio State and we're thrilled Troy Smith has used up his eligibility for selfish reasons. But in the biggest games, he plays his best (as U-M fans know all too well). This year alone, he led his team to an undefeated season and victories over two #2 teams, the first time that has ever happened.
And Brady Quinn?
Uh, um, he looked good against 4-8 Michigan State...in the 4th quarter. The only award he should have won over Smith is the Commander in Chief Trophy in recognition of Notre Dame's stirring victories over the service academies.
Seriously, who counted up the votes for this thing? The old accountants for Enron?
What bullshit.

Troy will win the Heisman. That's better than a Maxwell.

LOL, when did Michael Richards get mixed in with College football. Great picture parody, lol
- December 08, 2006 1:30 AM
Agreed, Heisman runner-up tends to win the Maxwell lately.
My argument is that Darren McFadden, Ray Rice, Colt Brennan, Steve Slaton, and Mike Hart were all more deserving than Brady "Career Acheivement Award" Quinn.

Other award winners were: Joe Thomas, Wisconsin, Outland Trophy (best interior linemen); Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech, Biletnikoff (best wide receiver); Aaron Ross, Texas, Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back); Patrick Willis, Mississippi, Butkus Award (best linebacker); Arthur Carmody, Louisville, Lou Groza Award (best kicker); and Daniel Sepulveda, Baylor, Ray Guy Award (best punter).
gimme a break!

Player of the Year Brady Quinn? What a joke! No player was more over hyped and more disappointing this year, bar none.
What idiots voted him for this award?
- December 08, 2006 8:20 AM
title IX:
Am I crazy, or did I read somewhere (yesterday?) that Woodley had won one of these season-ending awards?
Aaron Ross winning the Thorpe Award is almost as big a joke as Quinn. He's a great talent, but this had to based more on reputation than performance.
One I would completely agree with was the Butkus Award - Patrick Willis is an absolute monster from sideline to sideline. Maybe the best player in the country not named Troy Smith.
- December 08, 2006 8:36 AM
- Andy said...
Yes. Woodley won the Lombardi award -- given to the nation's top lineman. He was the 1st Michigan player to ever win the award. Mike Hammerstein (1985), John Elliott (1987), Mark Messner (1988), Greg Skrepenak (1991) and Steve Hutchinson (2000) were all finalists but never won it.

the Maxwell Trophy is voted on by Harris Poll voters no?
- December 08, 2006 10:35 AM
And congratulations to Woodley! Funny, seems the Big Ten is bringing home a lot more hardware than the best conference in football, the SEC.
I'm actually really pleased with most of the awards with the exception of Quinn. I cannot wait to see the Irish get shithammered by LSU. I understand they can set a record for consecutive bowl game loses this year....

They always use these other awards as a "consolation prize" for the guys who are not gonna win the heisman.

Yeah, I gotta say Smith should have won it...
But it occurs to me that a lot of screwed up things have happened in the last couple of weeks in CFB.
Hey Zach-
You should change that Joe Buck to Gary "Assface" Danielson.
- December 08, 2006 12:40 PM
I was disappointed that Mike Hart didn't get the running back award, he had over 100 against the Number 1 team in the biggest game of the year and he is totally consistent. The fact that Michigan finished early and some of these others played later really hurt Michigan in some of these awards and probably in the polls. Tell Lloyd to take some byes next year, maybe halfway through to make the season last longer. One other thing it seemed like most of these players were from the bigger schools, and on the Jim Thorpe award, I watch boocoo College Football and the best defensive back/safety that I have seen is Eric Weddle from Utah, he can play and he also plays offense, holds the kicks, runs out of QB and is a straight up playmaker. Guys like him are not even in the conversation on these awards and that my friends is a shame and he's just one I can think of off the top of my head I'm sure that there are others.
- December 08, 2006 12:50 PM
Illibuck - you really don't want to restart the Big 10/SEC argument again do you? Or is that just a crummy attempt at another jab to arch rivals for the latest BCS snafu. Concentrate on your game.
I agree Anon 9:50 with little schools getting overlooked for awards. If they didn't, the Heisman Trophy possibly would be getting Lei'ed. That dude put up sick numbers this year, a pick a game, but other than that, just damn!
- December 08, 2006 1:22 PM
But Brady Quinn is suuuch a courageous young man! He's got suuuuch heart! He's courageous!
He's earned this award, because he's soooo courageous and plays with soooo much heart!
Did I mention that he's courageous?

it's interesting to me that most of the players are from southern schools....
(save Joe Thomas)
the fix is in!?
- December 08, 2006 1:39 PM
Hate to say this, but Brady Quinn is the best white quarterback in America, and thus had to win some major award. Every suburb and Starbucks would go apeshit if this didn't happen every year. Brady Quinn is not that good and in five years it will be funny to see what players the Raiders could've drafted instead of this guy
- December 08, 2006 1:58 PM
Troy Smith did get screwed. I mean, seriously, do the voters of this thing really believe that Quinn is better than Smith.
I don't see how Ross won his award or how Posluszny won his. Anybody follow Penn State this year who thinks his award is justified?
- December 08, 2006 2:23 PM
- Greg said...
I was surprised to see Posluszny win. Dan Connor - on his own team - was better than he was this year.
And I kept hearing about how great Calvin Johnson is, and in every big game Georgia Tech played, he was held to one or two catches. It's easy to catch 20 passes against Duke, but where was he in important games?
- December 08, 2006 3:08 PM
- Lichty said...
Suddenly Brian Cupito thinks he has a shot for a post-season award.
- December 08, 2006 3:22 PM
Wow, Greg just stole my thoughts. Pozslugasdgdgay: 2nd best linebacker on his team, and Calvin Johnson: earning collegiate accolades based on NFL potential. Sure the guy's 6'5", strong, and fast, but there were at least 6 other WRs who had better seasons.
And race card--most of the people you're talking to here would be considered "suburb and Starbucks" people... and we're all pissed that Quinn won. It's nice of you to try to create racism, but in this case I'm afraid it doesn't work.
Finally, for jim: you're an SEC guy, right? You had to have seen Hawaii/'Bama. Laid a pretty big egg in that one. Colt Brennan=statistical oddity; Hawaii ALWAYS has a QB who puts up big numbers. They throw 90% of the time, and the only guy who runs it is a 483 lb. Samoan fullback. Gotta look past the stats.
- December 08, 2006 3:30 PM
- Reed4AU said...
Let me get this right. Troy Smith wins best QB, Quinn plays QB, and Quinn wins best player. How can you win best player if your not even the best at your position. Screw ND and their overhyped everything.
Calvin Johnson is great, put him on a team with a real QB instead of some little bi-polar midget. It wasn't him not showing up for big games, it was Reggie Ball who is good up until a point in the season where people start to give him praise, then it's all down hill from there.
- December 08, 2006 3:39 PM
I'll let the DRAFT determine the REAL winner! It will tell THE REAL STORY!
- December 08, 2006 4:11 PM
In the spirit of Big Ten "harmony" I just wanted to throw out an article on ESPN here. Now, dont get me wrong I am a Michigan fan tride and true. I must say it has been easy to hate Troy Smith in the past. Hell, just look what he has done to Michigan. However, as the year goes on I have to admit its alot harder to knit pick and find reasons to hate him. After reading an article on him on ESPN.com I have much respect for the guy. Regardless if you like Ohio State or if you like Michigan, if you are a fan of overcoming adversity then this will be a good read:
- December 08, 2006 4:15 PM
The Maxwell is the "East Coast" Heisman. The people who vote on it are primarily from the East Coast, particularly what was Big East country, where Notre Dame is huge. These are the ESPN sorts who will beat the drum until Brady Quinn is the first pick in the draft, which of course will lead to the inevitable "Why would you pass on Adrian Peterson for Brady Quinn?!" stories from ESPN three years from now.
- December 08, 2006 4:18 PM
Greg - I hate the A-she-she but Calvin Johnson is a shitload better than his numbers and who held him indicate... yadda yadda yadda.. His numbers may not have supported it, but you have to remember who was throwing him calls... and Reggie Ball sucks ass. And yeah, that dude will be the first WR taken in fantasy keeper leagues next year.
Jones - no arguments here, I was just impressed at his stats and tried to awkwardly fit in a funny with the Lei'ed comment.
I need to remember - stats are like a bikini, what they show is interesting, but what they hide is essential.
- December 08, 2006 4:33 PM
^^^^^ calls = balls
- December 08, 2006 4:34 PM
BQ has better stats for the year with a tougher schedule than Troy Smith. Troy Smith had 107 yards no TDs and one INT against Illinios. A horrible game against PSU. Having a bad game against a good team is better than having a bad game against a terrible team. All the NFL boards know BQ is the better talent. Anyone who knows anything about football knows Troy Smith will not be a #1 pick. You're and idiot for posting such a stupid nonsense.
- December 08, 2006 10:25 PM
And having a bad game when your team wins is infinitely better than having a bad game when your team gets stomped on.
Quinn couldn't lead his team to victory and Smith could and that is why Smith will win the Heisman regardless of what you think about that line of logic.
- December 08, 2006 11:26 PM
Anon 7:25 -
Brady Quinn had 135 more passing attempts than Troy Smith. He only produced 771 more yards than Troy with those 135 added attempts...
...against teams like mighty Stanford, North Carolina, Army, Air Force?
Get a clue man
- December 08, 2006 11:31 PM
The same NFL boards that had Joey Harrington as a #3 pick overall? The same ones that raved about Akili Smith? 100s of other busts? Yeah, you're right, I'll take their word for it. Brady Quinn is the greatest.
- December 09, 2006 1:07 AM
- JVH said...
Very disappointing post and comments, dudes. You've bought into the ESPN/ABC Heisman Hype Machine.
This has nothing to do with race. Brady Quinn stats are way better than Troy Smith's. And maybe, just maybe, the fact that Troy Smith is a thug that was on the take had a role in how the votes went.
Notice that the Maxwell voters went with Vince Young last year over 100K Reggie Bush. Perhaps they don't want their good name sullied by awarding players that cheat.

- Ungar Kelt said...
Why the hell is McFadden going to NY and not Hart? I guess Carr should have called a bunch of high school JV level trick plays like Arkansas & the SEC pull & let Hart throw a few passes to get attention.
Watch Hart's performance against Tosu and McFadden's against Florida - who deserves to be in NY for the Heisman?
(Do you think Teabow will try the shovel pass again against Tosu?)
- December 09, 2006 9:48 AM
I dont know, maybe the boys here saw both Quarterbacks play in very big games, you know, the ones against Michigan. Maybe, just maybe, they saw the fact that Brady Quinn could barely get off his back long enough to throw a TD, let alone four. Maybe they knew that Troy Smaith was taken out in the third quarter against teams like Indiana, Northwestern and Cincinnati, and that Brady Quinn was left in for the entirety of the game against EVERY opponent this year. Thats fine with the Maxwell though. Remember last year when they asked VY if he wished he would have gotten the Heisman, and he said no, the crystal ball is much more important. Well, let BQ get the Maxwell, Troy will walk home with the Heisman tonite, and hopefully the crystal ball in January.
- December 09, 2006 12:11 PM
Thanks to the knowledgable Michigan fans who tip their hats to Troy Smith. You guys could easily be Troy Smith haters after his success against UM, but you're respectful enough to give credit where credit is due. Lord knows that must be difficult, I don't know if I could do the same for a Michigan Heisman candidate..
- December 09, 2006 1:24 PM
Unger Kelt, next season try watchng some games on CBS instead of being stuck on ABC/ESPN.
I agree, Hart is good, but there are a lot of players in the top 10 with Hart and McFadden who also didn;t get invited. Hart has just a few more yards, but McFadden more per carry. McFadden also brings another dimension to the game. Yes, maybe all football teams should be required to run the I, not be allowed to make forward passes, and be given penalties for trying to fool the defense of opposing teams. Hell, let's go back to leather helmets. If it's just the same to you, I'll just stick to allowing teams to play how they want, regardless of how complicated the offenses get.
- December 09, 2006 3:10 PM
- Ungar Kelt said...
I watched 4 Arkansas games this year (USC, Auburn, LSU, and Florida). USC destroyed Arkansas - McFadden was limited by, of all things, and injured toe suffered in a Little Rock bar fight - exhibit "A" on why Hart is more deserving, character should count for something. McFadden is a good RB, but I think Hart is better.
How do you measure a great RB? Analyze them by how they performed in the biggest game of the year. Hart ran for 142 yards and 3 TDs vs. Tosu. McFadden ran for 73 yards and 0 Tds vs Flordida (+ an interception on a stupid circus play).
As far as "trick plays" I'm not saying there shouldn't be creativity on offense, but Arkansas shot themselves in the foot with that McFadden interception. Trickery for the sake of trickery is stupid, and that is one reason why Arkansas didn't win the SEC title.
You'll see a couple solid, boring, leather helmeted-stlye teams from the Big-10 take of the flashy ones in the bowl games. This isn't the XFL
- December 09, 2006 5:29 PM
I know my opinion probably means little, but Quinn had better stats, and Smith is a "virtual lock" for the Heisman...Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.
- December 09, 2006 5:57 PM
I bet Brady Quinn gets the Manning award. He's so much like Mannings (ie he sucks against the big names). Not that he deserves it though (he doesn't).
It's this one weekend when I think it's better to be a bunch of thrown together all stars than a team (thankfully, Michigan is still a team)
- December 09, 2006 6:15 PM
All of this discussion is very nice. It's too bad that the Heisman has been a meaningless award for about 10 years.
- December 09, 2006 7:27 PM
meaningless until a Wolverine is up for it again..
- December 09, 2006 9:17 PM
now that Troy HAS won the Heisman....who really cares about the Maxwell?
- December 09, 2006 9:18 PM
Unger Kelt - Don't blame McFadden for calling the plays. Sure he pulled the trigger on that bad throw, but don't blame him for the offense that Nutt runs. He executes the play as he's required to, and it usually results in special things (rushing, blocking, taking snaps, kick returns). And you're right, perhaps character should be a consideration for the Heisman, I 100% agree with that, but tell that to the voters that voted for $mith. Inviting McFadden may have been just to appease those from the South, but the guy is a freak when he has the ball. Hart did have a big game in Michigan's Big Game, but he wasn't the only one that had huge games in his team's big games (180+ against LSU, Tenn) 140+ against Auburn, and you saw his UofF game (just a pedestrian 3.5 per carry and shared the load with Felix). I don't fault you for thinking Hart is better, and I agree he deserved to get an invite to NY, but if he is deserving, McFadden is as well.
As for XFL - man, that's just funny.
- December 10, 2006 9:19 AM
The Maxwell SMART trophy went to an Ohioan. The Heisman wenty to an Ohioan.
Has any Wolverine other than an Ohioan won the Heisman Trophy for the Wolverines?

ND fans -
Performance in big games matters. In the biggest games, Troy Smith rose to the occasion (unfortunately for us Michigan fans). Brady Quinn, on the other hand, shrivelled up like George Costanza after a swim (like a frightened turtle!). Please STOP going off about Brady Quinn's stats...he beat up on the service academies, Standford and UNC, and had nice games against a terrible MSU team and UCLA. Against Michigan and USC? Sorry...he sucked balls.
- December 10, 2006 12:52 PM
Unger - that was my anon 6:19 post.
Didn;t notice I forgot to put my name with me taking quick breaks from taking care of our sick 8-mo old twins.
Sorry about that.
- December 10, 2006 2:08 PM
Who'd he get screwed by? Some dashing black beauty?
- December 10, 2006 4:01 PM
In the end Troy Smith is the best player and doesn't need a trophy to tell him that. Fortunately he's going to get a trophy anyway, the one that matters the most, the Heisman.
If these guys want to make an argument for Quinn then we can go with this one: He's the only player on ND worth a crap. Their defense is non-existant, their running game is a joke, so they have to throw the ball 50 times per game just to beat sub-par competition. Troy on the other hand is blessed with a strong running game and a lights-out defense. So maybe its hard for some of these voters to see his unique talents when coupled with the likes of Ted Ginn Jr, Anthony Gonzalez, Chris Wells, and Antonio Pittman.
So let's go ahead and throw Brady a bone for being the best player on an attrocious team.
- December 10, 2006 6:57 PM
ND's hockey team defeated UM's team this week-end in a home & home. A preview of what will happen in Ann Arbor in Sept.'07. Boy you have alot of angst towards Brady Quinn. What don't you like about him. Is it because he plays for the most storied football team in America. He's a nice looking all-American type kid. No baggage, no social ills, no emotional baggage etc, etc. It sounds like your posters would have thrased Bellino, Dawkins, Staubach, Huarte, *& cheered the likes of OJ Simpson, & Johnny Rogers. You're really pathetic with your level of vitriol. PS. anonymous=fear.
- December 10, 2006 10:26 PM
You really have to feel sorry for either Brady Quinn or Troy Smith. One of those two guys are going to end up playing for the Detroit Lions. Yes, the Detroit Lions. Who ever gets stuck playing for that disgrace of a team will see their career ruined. It sucks to be one of the top players coming out of college because you get stuck playing for bad teams. It is much better to fly under the radar and play for a solid contender.
- December 11, 2006 11:21 AM
jim masterson-
-no, it's because he sucks.
- December 11, 2006 4:36 PM
Brady sucked against USC??? We lost sure. Badly? Yes. But Brady sucked? Did you even WATCH the game? And I'm so sick of this service academy crap. On OSU's schedule are such powerhouse teams as: Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern. And Navy is probably at least as good as Cincy. Even if not, that's five cupcakes on EACH FREAKING SIDE. Each guy, troy, brady, gets the SAME PADDING to their states. OMG, I'm losing faith in peoples ability to reason for themselves and not blindly believe everything ESPN says.

Beginning Friday April 5, when the Final Four events began until after the championship game on Monday, April 8, MARTA saw an estimated 78 percent increase in rail ridership. During that period, there were about 1,140,000 total rail passenger boardings; about 500,000 more than on average days when no such events are taking place.
Passenger boardings include rail-to-rail transfers, which are not counted by MARTA's Breeze farecard system. These boardings generally add about 30 percent to the total.
MARTA also saw an increase in ridership through customers who flocked into the city to attend free concerts and to watch the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Hawks who were playing home games. In preparation for the crowds, MARTA added extra buses and trains, as well as redeployed police officers and station attendants.
Due to the extraordinary number of customers on the system, however, there were reports of long lines at some stations and unexpectedly long waits, indicating there's room for improvement, says the authority.
"We did a good job getting customers where they were going safely," said Keith T. Parker, MARTA's general manager and CEO. "These are the kinds of large-scale events that really test our mettle and, most important, help us find ways we can do a better job of serving all of our customers every single day."

Benefit, you get me every time.
With your cutesy retro fun packaging and the yummy-smelling products.
Every. Single. Time.
But the products have actually been a long-time love of mine. I would consider Benefit to be one of my first cosmetic obsessions. Sure they're fun and all, but the quality is great too which is obviously the most important thing. Especially the boxed powders.
I remember my first one, Dandelion. It was love. So when I saw that Benefit had started to create other products based on their much-loved boxed powders, they got me again.
Which reminds me that I need to get around to posting swatches of the new Ultra Plush lip glosses based on the boxed powders. Look for that soon.
These new kits I'm giving you a little peek of here will be exclusively sold at Sephora. The first two, Sugarlicious and Go Tropicoral are created around two of those famous boxed powders, Sugarbomb and CORALista. Those kits are $28. There is also one based on Dandelion called Feelin' Dandy, which I don't have. The other is one of their new Complexion Kits. They come in 3 shades- Light, Medium, & Deep and will be exclusive to Sephora also. Those are $30. All of the kits will be available in August.
K, so enough chit-chat... Here's the eye candy.
kit contains:Benetint (cheek & lip stain), High Beam (highlighting liquid), Sugarbomb (face powder), Ultra Plush Sugarbomb lipgloss
|I love the little "Tips & Tricks" booklet that closes around the mirror of each kit
|The shades are pretty subtle in this one- (l-r) Benetint, High Beam, Sugarbomb powder
|Sugarbomb Ultra Plush lip gloss
|kit contains: Chachatint (lip & cheek stain), High Beam (liquid highlighter), CORALista (face powder), Ultra Plush lip gloss in CORALista
|(l-r) Chachatint, High Beam, CORALista powder
|CORALista Ultra Plush lip gloss
|As with the previous kits, this one also has a helpful "Tips & Tricks" booklet around the mirror
|kit contains: The POREfessional (primer), Hellow Flawless Oxygen Wow (brightening liquid foundation), Boi-ing (shade 03 & 04 concealer), Hello Flawless (finishing powder)
|For some reason, I found it exciting that the concealers snapped out...

Clam Shell is a simple shell, designed to be a testbed for user interface ideas. It is a modular shell where the modules can be loaded or unloaded at runtime to expand or contract the functionality of the shell. This lets each user have a set of tools that they like to use, rather than one monolithic shell.
CURSEL is a freeware FMLI (Forms and Menu Language Interpreter) implementation for Linux and UNIX. CURSEL interprets Menu description files, which are simple text files, describing a character GUI (Menus, forms, text files) for character terminals (xterm, vt100, etc.). Pipes, shell escapes, backquoted expressions, and file redirection are supported, and when compiled with ncurses 5, CURSEL supports color.
fli4l is a single-floppy Linux-based ISDN/DSL/ethernet-router. It features configuration with some simple ASCII-files, several possible connection-flavors (in/out/callback, and raw IP/PPP), channel bundling (an extra channel can be added through a Windows/Unix-client), configuration of multiple networks, least-cost routing, automatic choice of provider, display/calculation of connection times and costs, and a Windows/Unix client to control dial/hangup, monitor traffic and monitor incoming calls on ISDN (see screenshot).
GNU Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is intended to be a conforming implementation of the IEEE POSIX Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).
GNU shtool is a compilation of small but very stable and portable shell scripts into a single shell tool. All ingredients were in successful use over many years in various free software projects. The compiled shtool program is intended to be used inside the source tree of free software packages. There it can overtake various (usually non-portable) tasks related to the building and installation of an free software package.
DIRT is a simple directory stack utility that lets the user use the same directory stack across terminals and sessions. The stack of directories is stored in a file (.dirtpile) in your home directory. All shell sessions access the same file, and thus, all of them use the same stack. DIRT supports jumping to specific entries, push, pop, swap the CWD with the top of the stack, and jump to the top of the stack. A set of CSH shell aliases are also included, and required for proper functioning.
The Tecla library provides programs with interactive command line editing facilities, similar to those of the Unix tcsh shell. It supports recall and editing of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names and application specific tokens, and in-line wild-card expansion of filenames. The optionally reentrant modules which perform TAB completion and wild-card expansion are also available separately for general use. The library is smaller, more modular, makes more efficient use of the heap, and has a less restrictive license than GNU readline.
new_script is a program that creates shell script templates. It was developed to facilitate rapid creation of well-formed shell scripts containing the features expected in a production quality script, including traps for signal handling, command line option and argument processing, help messages invoked with the "-h" or "--help" options, and a framework for internal documentation.

But as their chants of "We are...Penn State" gave way to more of a mob mentality; as news vans were overturned and street lights were toppled, I became angry. Such blind loyalty to a coach, and a team, and a school is exactly what caused men like AD Tom Curley, President Graham Spanier and, yes, coach Joe Paterno to abandon their responsibilities -- not as ADs, administrators and coaches; and not from a legal stand point -- but as human beings. As fathers themselves. People who, in attempting to the protect "the brand" behind the blind loyalty, failed on an immeasurably larger moral scale.
The scandal brewing around Penn State isn't about a football coach. Or a team. Or a school. As others before me have said, it's so much bigger. And infinitely worse. This is about a bunch of kids -- some allegedly as young as 8 years old -- who were raped. Yes, the terms "abused," "assaulted," and "molested" are thrown about and have been used more often since the story broke. But while the meaning may be a legal distinction, those other terms sometimes seem to soften the horrific crimes that allegedly took place. And such ugly, vile acts deserve no such shading.
If you think Joe Paterno was treated unfairly, read the grand jury report. It won't be easy. It'll make you want to cry, scream or both. Regarding the incident which was brought to Paterno's attention, the one involving "Victim #2" (there were allegedly eight over 15 years that are known about so far), a Penn State graduate assistant (now known to be current assistant coach Mike McQuery) entered Penn State's football building where, according to the grand jury report, he:
"heard rhythmic thumping, slapping sounds. He believed the sounds to be those of sexual activity. As the graduate assistant put the sneakers in his locker, he looked into the shower. He saw a naked boy, Victim 2, whose age he estimated to be 10 years old, with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky. "
He saw a 10 year old boy -- somebody's son -- being raped by a then-58-year-old man. McQuery, who was "distraught" according to the report, talked to his dad, called and then went to Paterno's house where he "reported what he saw." Paterno testified that the GA was "very upset." Paterno then called Curley to his home -- on a Sunday -- and told him he had seen Jerry Sandusky "doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy." And after reporting this to Paterno, and Paterno telling his bosses, the GA heard back a couple weeks later:
"He was told that Sandusky's keys to the locker room were taken away and that the incident had been reported to the The Second Mile (Sandusky's charity)."
They took away the locker room keys. For the alleged rape of a 10 year old boy.
And Joe Paterno knew about it. Knew. Not allegedly knew. Yes, the rape itself is only alleged at this point. But not the fact that McQuery told Paterno he saw something horrible happen to a little boy in the shower of the school's football building. That is not in dispute. Paterno himself admits -- both in the grand jury testimony and since the story broke -- that an upset McQuery told him he witnessed something awful between a 58 year old man and 10 year old boy in the school's football building. Nobody denies that.
Of course the spin now is that Paterno (and Curley and Gary Schultz, another school administrator who was told at the time) were not informed by McQuery of the severity of what he saw in the shower. They're all falling all over themselves now trying to downplay what was reported. Claiming McQuery (who also failed miserably in this whole sordid affair) only said there was "inappropriate conduct," something that made him "uncomfortable," or "fondling," or "horsing around."
As if that makes the inaction of Paterno and the others okay. Absolves them of their moral responsibility. It does not. Because there is no instance when it is okay for a 58 year old man to be with a 10 year old boy naked in a shower, "horsing around."
So I don't care if Paterno was a great football coach. Or won a lot of games. Or graduated a lot of players. Or gave a lot of money to the school for a nice library. He had to be fired. Immediately and without ceremony.
Yes, it was one mistake, as his some of his interviewed supporters were quick to point out on TV last night. And he apparently broke no laws. For that he will suffer no legal consequences. More importantly, and sometimes overlooked in the aftermath of the firing, Joe Paterno did not rape little boys. Jerry Sandusky is allegedly the monster solely responsible for that. Paterno's failing was an ethical one. Not for what he did, but what he didn't did do. If actions speak louder than words, in this case, Paterno's inaction was even louder and more damning.
Even JoePa understands that.
Before he was let go, Paterno said he wishes he would have done more after being alerted about the incident. He could have: In 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 or 2011. Or any of those other times he probably ran into Sandusky around the campus he was only banned from this week, or in the weight room Sandusky apparently used just last week. But Paterno did not. Instead, his moral inaction did and should have cost him his head coaching job.
If you think that was unfair to JoePa, well, that's exactly the kind of culture that led to some folks thinking after the rape of a 10 year old boy that the right thing to do was to take away some locker room keys.
So to all of you I saw on TV causing trouble on campus last night, yes, You are...Penn State. Now stop tipping over news vans, and screaming for the return of a coach who doesn't deserve that title anymore, and decide what that slogan means. Joe Paterno forgot. Will you?

Rosa Khutor, Russia (SportsNetwork.com) - Shaun White has decided to withdraw from the Olympic slopestyle event.
White will instead concentrate on his preparations for a third straight halfpipe gold medal.
"After much deliberation with my team, I have made the decision to focus solely on trying to bring home the third straight gold medal in halfpipe for Team USA," said White in a statement released by U.S. Snowboarding. "The difficult decision to forego slopestyle is not one I take lightly as I know how much effort everyone has put into holding the slopestyle event for the first time in Olympic history, a history I had planned on being part of."
White hurt his wrist during a training run on Tuesday and had initially indicated that he wouldn't miss the event.
"Shaun is the consummate professional and has made a sound athletic decision," said Jeremy Forster, USSA Snowboarding and Freeskiing director. "We anticipate an outstanding slopestyle debut on Saturday, but also respect the importance to Shaun to keep his focus on winning a third halfpipe gold."
The slopestyle course has drawn criticism for its setup and has been modified after Monday's injury to Torstein Horgmo. The Norwegian suffered a broken collarbone and will miss the event.

This is EXACTLY what we're talking about
Note the Michigan dig at the bottom. So let me get this straight...
- Their team is #1 in all the land
- They're undefeated
- Their QB won the Heisman
- They're going to the National Championship game
Yet they still have to bash Michigan?
Imagine if Michigan were playing Florida in the title game. Do you really think any U-M NC gear would include a mention of Ohio State? Fat chance. Who would give a shit?
So why is the mentality around Columbus such that Buckeye fans can't simply enjoy their success and cheer their team on? Almost seems they're more excited that Michigan lost than the fact that their team won. Which is probably why one hears more cries of "Fuck Michigan!" rather than "Go Bucks!" outside the 'Shoe during The Game.
Pathetic...but not surprising.
P.S. To any Buckeye fan tempted to respond to this post on a Michigan site, think long and hard about leaving a comment lest you further prove this point.
P.P.S. And is the picture above supposed to be Tressel? Damn, that is some shitty artwork. It looks more like Benny's friend's dad. And he's African-American.
57 comments:
I will personally give $10 to any person who can actually find, photograph, and wear a shirt with that design on it.
P.S. Yost, why can't we respond to the post? Just because we're Buckeye fans? We're still readers - just because we don't cheer for Michigan doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to read a Michigan blog. It's hilarious, that's why we read it.
P.P.S. The shirt design sucks hardcore ass. Just because some stupid schmuck who doesn't like Michigan designed it doesn't mean OSU NC gear all claims superiority over Michigan. Ohio State's team did a pretty decent job of that.
- December 10, 2006 11:47 PM
- Yost said...
Not talking to you re: responding. I'm talking to some others who respond with a barrage of "Fuck Michigans!" I for one always appreciate your comments.
And you're 100% right - you guys did do a great job of proving who is the better team on the field. End of story. That's why I'm so puzzled by designs like this. Doesn't 5-1 and a possible 2nd NC say it all?
P.S. How'd the Slav Languages test go?
- December 10, 2006 11:52 PM
- Trevor Pitt said...
I'm not actually defending the design, because I think it's crap too. And Eric is right, no one's going to wear that on a shirt, it's just what someone wrote in the subject line of their original email (ie: New BCS Shirt). I think the "Michigan still sucks, mate" is a little much...but if the 'artist' would've left it at "Dear Michigan...etc. etc." that would've been a fun jab at our rival.
NCAA football isn't the only place this happens. Why did the Steelers chant "We-Dey" in a celebratory parade after they won the Super Bowl? Because the Bengals are their fiercest rivals and they wanted to rub it in their faces (and yes, that pissed me off, but it also added to the importance of this year's games). Same goes for the Buckeyes & Wolverines. For years Michigan owned OSU's ass, I had to listen to loads of players & fans in Michigan deny the rivalry and say "Ohio State's not our rival, Michigan State is." What a bunch of bunk. But that was Michigan's way of getting under OSU fans' skin. Now the shoe's on the other foot, so we've gotta rub it in whenever possible. Because who knows when this high might end in Columbus. Besides, if Michigan was indeed in the NC game, you wouldn't completely let up on your posts that poke fun at the Buckeyes, would you? And I, as a Buckeye fan, wouldn't expect anything less from you guys. In fact, I'd be disappointed.
And I'd also like to say that I'd never throw a "Fuck Michigan" your way, or that I'd even want to screw anything from Michigan...okay, I'll make some exceptions, but only if the Michigan Cheerleaders aren't wearing those Soccer Mom outfits.

The weather in Arizona is great? What kind of retarded dig is that?
- December 11, 2006 1:10 AM
OSU fans respond, in part, with that kind of jab (meaning on the t-shirt, not the Fuck Michigan stuff you refer to) because Michigan fans/players/coaches were whining about getting a rematch after losing handily (as you posted after The Game). Much was said about what would happen on a neutral field. Hell, Mike Hart himself said he "guarantees" things would turn out different. When people talk shit about what would happen if they played again after losing and giving up 500 fuckin yards, its not hard to wonder why OSU fans might take a little jab at Michigan football.
- December 11, 2006 4:16 AM
I wouldn't worry about what is going on in Columbus so much.

- December 11, 2006 7:02 AM
Why is this a big deal? Turn the tables, and I would love to take a jab at OSU like that. We just need to, y'know, fucking beat them first. Please?
I see it as more of a hat tip than an obsession. Like, yeah, the National Championship would just be icing on the cake, as we all know the UM game is more important. That's the highest form of respect I think we should expect from our mulleted foes.
- December 11, 2006 8:05 AM
Your comment reminded me of Beano "I Love ND, Army, and Navy" Cook from ESPN. He said something like "The national championship always runs through Notre Dame". Well, in our case, you can't win a NC without beating Michigan first. So take it as a compliment, we think about you guys 365 days a year. That's why it's a great rivalry.
- December 11, 2006 8:37 AM
i would love to see a similar michigan shirt that took a little dig at ohio state. you cant find them and when you do its just an ohio state version with the colors and names switched. come on UM fans, get original and make something for us to wear. but like someone said we have to win first.
- December 11, 2006 9:14 AM
Its odd in the fact the majority of OSU fans want nothing more than Michigan to shove it up USC's arses in the Rose. The few that want Michigan to lose at all costs are just idiots that still live in the Mom's trailor.
One of the strangest things about college football is how you have your conference teams you want to beat so bad all year. Then once you get to the bowls, you become their biggest fans...I will be rooting on every Big Ten team regardless...
- December 11, 2006 9:15 AM
Anon 6:15,
Rooting for the conference thing seems to be pretty much the norm for the BigTen, and I'd have it no other way.
Especially against the sec.
- December 11, 2006 9:35 AM
Why do you insist on wondering why Ohio State fans love to cheer against Michigan when your own blog is constantly posting fun towards Ohio State. You have a whole section dedicated to great posts against Ohio State.
Its a rivalry. Teams hate each other all year long. Ohio State fans love their Buckeyes but hate Michigan year round. Figure it out. Thats how a rivalry works.
- December 11, 2006 9:41 AM
And that is exactly why Michigan has beat OSU once in 5 years. We care about beating you. ND is not a rival game. Stop crying about how we dog on you guys nonstop, man up and beat us for once.

Yes, thank you for pointing out in what? your fourth thread on this topic that OSU is obsessed with Michigan. By making every other post about how obsessed WE are with YOU, our fanbase, or our team. By selling anti-Buckeyes T-shirts off your main page. By making a list of your best Ohio State threads you have shown without a doubt that only those crazy Buckeye's care about this rivalry.
- December 11, 2006 10:42 AM
you call it "obsession" and "pathetic", we call it "focus". Focus is generally a good thing.
- December 11, 2006 10:55 AM
A good question would be: Who will Michigan fans be rooting for in the BCS Championship game?
1) On one hand, you would be rooting for OSU due to the Big Ten ties and the fact you would not want to see Urban Myer and his whining paying off with a national championship. I could see wanting Florida to get what's coming to them.
2) On the other, a Florida win and a big win by Michigan could result in a split National title.
What say you, Michigan fans?
- December 11, 2006 11:09 AM
Anon 8:09
It won't be a split title no matter what. So of course we'll be going with our Big 10 loyalty & anti-politicing choice: tOSU
- December 11, 2006 11:24 AM
Even if Ohio State lost to Florida the pollsters would not give a split title to Michigan. The pollsters have already spoken. They have said that Michigan had its shot at the title and failed. Why on earth would they give a title to Michigan? All the media would say is that the Big Ten was way overrated and that the SEC was by far the best conference.
Michigan's only option is to destroy USC and hope Ohio State destroys Florida so the pollsters will have to eat crow.
GO BLUE, and (unfortunately) go bucks
- December 11, 2006 11:26 AM
Wow, you guys were so focused that you went 2-8-1 in the glory years.
It's so funny that the "fanbase" is taking credit for the fact that OSU has gone 5-1 in the last six years. Are you saying that you didn't root hard enough in the 11 years before that? I kinda feel bad for Tressel and the team.
- December 11, 2006 12:08 PM
OK..that shirt is about the dorkiest thing yet. Who would wear that? I have a shirt that says "All I want for Christmas is a Natioal Championship". Guess what. Not a word about Michigan on it. Just because someone with limited artistic skill and too much time on their hand made something, doesn't mean it will be recognized by any Ohio State fans. But hey, it made it to your front page, so I guess you can give him props.
By the way, exactly how much time a day do you spend searhing for Ohio State stuff on the web???
- December 11, 2006 12:09 PM

Ruin my day? Don't flatter yourself. Actually, as a Buckeye fan trolling a Michigan site leaving such a comment, you simply help prove the point.
- December 11, 2006 3:18 PM
As a tried and true Buckeye fan, there's only one thing you need to understand about the OSU-UM rivalry: Ohio State could go 1-11 for the year. But if that one win came at the expense of the Wolverines, 99.9% of Ohio State fans would consider the season a success. The fact that we get an opportunity to play for the NC is icing on the cake.
(But that shirt looks like my 4-yr old nephew made it. I'm fairly certain the Irwin family wouldn't endorse it.)
- December 11, 2006 3:51 PM
Take it easy, Yost. Buckeyes fans are on here because they enjoy your posts and humor. That t-shirt, while very lame as another poster pointed, was really not that big of deal. Its something that goes on with a rivalry, especially when a game is played with a title berth on the line.
- December 11, 2006 3:57 PM
"On the other, a Florida win and a big win by Michigan could result in a split National title".
What are you on crack?
- December 11, 2006 4:04 PM
- Yost said...
Totally agree it's not a big deal. That's not the point of the post. It's that I - and I think a lot of Michigan fans - really can't understand why Michigan would even be mentioned on an Ohio St NC tee. I defy anybody to show me a UF NC shirt that takes a poke at FSU or Tennessee or anybody besides the Bucks on it. I'm guessing you won't find it b/c they don't do it.
And don't say their SEC rivalries or FSU game isn't as intense as M/OSU in their eyes. So why does OSU do it when others don't?
- December 11, 2006 4:12 PM
Is there a sequel version of the shirt with a stingray barb in Tressel's chest?
- December 11, 2006 4:13 PM
I particularly relish the recent success of OSU against you boys remembering all the shitheads in Ann Arbor (including UM players) who got so cocky with UM's success in the 1990's to the point of bragging that The Game wasn't really their big rivalry...it was MSU....although I'm beginning to think maybe they were actually prophetically correct as the level of play between the Spartans and Wolverines appears much closer to parity.
- December 11, 2006 4:33 PM

Yost, OSU-Michigan is a far bigger rivalry than FSU-UF. Their fan rivalry is nothing compared to this. That is why there is an Ohio State shirt taking a shot at Michigan.
It matters much more to us, well at least to Ohio State fans. 2-10 over Cooper's reign was totally agonizing. Perhaps you underestimate football in the state of Ohio, and what Ohio State means to its fans.
- December 12, 2006 2:50 AM
The shirt is much more creative than the buckstache t-shirt. I am a proud owner of said shirt and will wear it with pride while I am in Glendale for the game. You guys can worry about our t-shirts while you are in Pasadena playing for "pride".
