Present democracy is like a verdict by a mob that does not attend a trial. Tribunocracy is a better way.
The single thing the world most needs now is better government. Our present system of mass public elections selecting government leaders and voting on referendum is equivalent to verdicts rendered by jurors that do not attend a trial. Better government requires a better system.
There is growing dissatisfaction with our election process, the role of money, and the ineffective government it produces Nevertheless reverence for the present form of democracy has largely precluded consideration of modifications substantial enough to significantly improve its substance. Tribunocracy is such a modification.
Tribunocracy utilizes Tribunes randomly selected from all the willing eligible potential voters. Like jurors in a court trial the selected Tribunes attend a public trial-like Tribunal Convention before voting. The majority vote of the Tribunes is a proxy for the majority vote of the entire pool of eligible voters. Tribunes serve only briefly, are dismissed after voting and retain no special power.
Tribunocracy reduces the role of money and shallow campaigning.
All Tribunes attend a public trial-like Tribunal Convention, before they vote. Like jurors in a trial, Tribunes are exposed directly to the candidates and testifying parties for hours, over a period of days. Thus it greatly reduces the need and value of paid advertising, and shallow slogan based campaign rhetoric. Dishonest claims, incorrect facts, and shallow arguments will be much less common; because the opposition will have adequate time and opportunity to dispute them by presenting better more persuasive evidence and arguments during the Tribunal Convention.
A quick dramatic change to Tribunocracy is not possible. However its gradual adoption is. Tribunocracy should and will first be introduced and tested in small special limited non-threatening non critical situations. For example, Tribunal Conventions might initially select officials not now elected such as city managers, or judges

Dec 12 2012: @Dale Retter
Your website does not explain how the agenda will be set for the tribunals (who will decide what to discuss and when?), the system is also likely to devolve into randomness with things like abortion being stuck in a loop of being legalized one week and being criminalized the next (this is the reason there are years in between elections). The one thing less reliable than politics are trials.
Dec 13 2012: Thanks for visiting the web site. The constitution does not specify every detail and many of the necessary mechanics had to be worked out and evolved over time. Tribunocracy will need to start small with experimentation in non critical arrears before its practice has gained enough refinement to assume more importance. Basically there would be equal time for candidates to speak, offer witnesses (other people speaking and presenting information on their behalf) rebuttals. Tribunes would after deliberation in small groups offer written questions and comments.
If you were accused of committing murder, would you consider a trial by mass public opinion manifest by voting on a referendum, more or less reliable than a trial by jurors who witnessed your trial?
Dec 13 2012: I understand that any system has to evolve but you have to lay down some guiding principles to start. Tribunocracy lacks a guiding principle for setting agendas, it simply won't work without one, you have to fix that.
"If you were accused of committing murder, would you consider a trial by mass public opinion manifest by voting on a referendum, more or less reliable than a trial by jurors who witnessed your trial?"
I really hope I never get accused for a trial by jury (thank god my country doesn't have those), period. The American justice system is a farce with judges and especially juries who judge people by their appearance and don't know the first thing about technology, science and statistics, and lawyers (the most clever ones only available to the rich) who know how to exploit those weaknesses. I'd rather have trial by computer, I would at least stand a chance then.
And seriously, what if the science budget is up for debate and the tribunal presiding over it is composed of 100% inbred, evangelical teabaggers? Also, in politics there often is no single right answer: which is when the voice of the people is the only measure you can go by. How much money should be spend on security, how much to development aid? This is when it really matters to hear the voice of the people instead of the voices of a handful of people who were randomly picked and may thus very well represent a minority opinion.
Dec 13 2012: Some of the guidelines for the agenda are detailed at www.tribunocracy.org. Like any new laws and regulations they should be public set well before the event and subject to revision based on experience.
Initially the objective of Tribunocracy is to replace mass public voting by eligible voters choosing to vote with a random sampling of eligible voters who indicate they would be willing to serve as jurors if selected. The advantage is not that they are any different from the group of eligible voters they represent, but rather that the process of attending the Tribunal Convention before they vote would provide them more information, exposure to the candidates and arguments, before they vote. It does not require that Tribunes assume any greater participation.
Seriously I view trial by jury a poor form of justice, but as Winston Churchill said of democracy, its only virtue is that it is better than the alternatives.

Best Trailer of the Day: Binary Domain's "Bigger Than You Think"
From the creators of the Yakuza series, we're given a peek into the sordid future of 2080. Humanity has battled devastating climate changes by advancing technology beyond all precedents. Regulations were set in place to keep such technological growth in check with one rule held in sacred: machines can never fully resemble human beings.
We wouldn't have a kick ass, dark sci-fi story on our hands if that rule wasn't broken, however, which leads us to this surprisingly amazing trailer. Put Binary Domain on your radar, friends, and prepare for the machine age February 28th.
I know every single American gamer in the country — without exception — is whiling the days away until Yakuza of the Dead (aka Yakuza: Dead Souls) finally comes out, but give a gander to Binary Domain (Feb. 28th), a squad-based shooter set in the 2080's that looks to be ripped right out of an Asimov novel.
Yakuza Studios hopes to somehow find more international success with Binary. I really don't know how a third-person shooter where you blow away robots would translate better than the interpersonal relationships between Japanese mobsters, but I guess that's why I'm not a game developer.

There was a time when pie was an important student retention tool for the College.
During William F. Quillian, Jr.'s 26-year tenure as the fifth president of Randolph-Macon Woman's College, from 1952 to 1978, there was a tendency for students to attend R-MWC until the end of their sophomore year and then transfer to larger institutions.
"'Sophomore slump' was the term," said Quillian, who always emphasized close interaction between faculty and students. "By the end of their second year, some students were just ready to leave and looking forward to the next year somewhere else."
Quillian wanted insight into why students were leaving, so he and his wife, Margaret, began inviting sophomores to their home for dessert and discussion.
"My wife became known for the pies that she made," said Quillian. "She always made a chocolate chiffon pie, and our children would serve the students."
Each group of 20 students would provide him with a better understanding of how students were feeling and a glimpse of the challenges that lay ahead for the next recruiting season.
Quillian's interaction with students and faculty was a feature of his administration and led to the development of hallmark programs such as The World in Britain program at the University of Reading.
"One thing that came out was that it would be good to have more international studies," he said. "We had a give and take discussion on what we should do in that area. Sweet Briar had a program in France, so we decided to try to establish the program in England."
Multi-cultural education, retention, diversity, and issues related to changes in student attitudes and needs that Quillian dealt with then are not unlike those faced by the College today. In his new book, Voices From R-MWC, Quillian offers a collection of his essays and memoirs, and historical material from guest authors. The book provides a unique glimpse into the College's history, how it responded to changes behind the Red Brick Wall and in the community and society around it, and how it evolved and improved.
Improvements at the College resulted, in part, from fundraising and development. The topic features prominently in Quillian's book, perhaps because it was in his DNA.
"I always enjoyed fundraising, and I knew we needed to raise money," said Quillian. "My father was a college president, and I watched him build a brand new campus five miles away from the existing campus."
During Quillian's tenure, the College built the Physical Education and Recreation (PER) Building, the Houston Memorial Chapel, and the Leggett Building and Thoresen Theatre, and expanded the Lipscomb Library.
"I enjoyed it," he said, "especially when something good clicked."
Quillian also worked to acquire support from a variety of foundations, including Ford, Kresge, and Dana.
At the same time philanthropy helped the College build out infrastructure, America was undergoing sweeping social changes. One such change was the integration of the College. For Quillian, resolving the potentially divisive issue began with a discussion among students.
"Every Wednesday, there was a required assembly. At one of them, I raised the question, 'Suppose this college were to become integrated?'" he recalled. "It shocked them."
After he started the discussion, students kept it alive. An essay in his book titled, "The Integration of a Southern College," recalls an editorial in the November 5, 1953 issue of the Sundial that concluded: "Think about the issue— it's important for your future."
Throughout the rest of that decade, the discussion on the R-MWC campus would mirror the debate in the broader Lynchburg community, culminating in December 1960 when two Randolph-Macon Woman's College students—Mary Edith Bentley Abu-Saba '61 and Rebecca Mays Owen '61—became central figures in an anti-segregation demonstration at a lunch counter of a Lynchburg drugstore.
The Supreme Court's 1954 ruling requiring public institutions to integrate exerted pressure on the College from the outside at the same time student social issues were developing within.
Quillian's "The Abolition of Sororities" is a notable example. In the College's first decade, six national sororities were established: Chi Omega, Tri- Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Delta, Alpha Omega Pi, and Tri Sigma. However, by the '40s and '50s, there were questions about the value of sororities on campus, especially given the pressure students felt to be selected for the "right" sororities.
"Many new students felt deeply hurt by their failure to make the sorority of their choice," Quillian wrote. "There were tearful phone calls to parents reporting these disappointments."
Student referendums on keeping sororities active passed by narrow margins. The discussion continued until a Board of Trustees vote on May 13, 1960 directed the administration to eliminate sororities at the "earliest date deemed practical." As a result, the 1960–61 academic year began without sororities on campus.
This past May, during Commencement, Quillian stood at the podium as Touch of Harmony, the College's a cappella group, sang a rendition of "Minnie the Moocher." Quillian responded by singing the last verse, and as delighted students, faculty, and guests joined in the refrain, a lighter moment from his presidency came full circle. Years before, Quillian had been approached by faculty who were planning the first faculty show. They asked him to do something "out of character." His performance was "Minnie The Moocher," and when he sang at the request of students at the following Pumpkin Parade, a tradition was born.
"Every president since then has blamed me for that!" he laughed.

A special guest joined FOX 5 morning news - reality TV star Bethenny Frankel!
She visited to talk about her daytime talk show called 'Bethenny' that premieres on September 9th at 11:00 a.m. on WTTG FOX 5.
It covers topics for women, such as love and relationships and celebrities and pop culture.
About Bethenny:
From a natural foods chef to best-selling author, reality TV star to self-made businesswoman and mom, Frankel's wit, wisdom and humor first came to national attention when she was named first runner-up on NBC's "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart." Network executives saw a personality they couldn't ignore, and her connection to the audience, so they put her center stage on Bravo's hit series "The Real Housewives of New York" for three seasons. She emerged as the star of the series, with a huge network of fans, which led Bravo to create a spin-off series, "Bethenny Getting Married?" that premiered with the highest ratings ever in Bravo history and continued with "Bethenny Ever After…" which aired for two seasons.
Now, Bethenny Frankel brings her distinctive voice and candid point of view to daytime television this fall on "Bethenny," the nationally syndicated new daytime talk program, hosted by Frankel and cleared in over 97% of the country, following a successful six-week summer test on select FOX-owned stations including New York and Los Angeles.
"Bethenny," the show, embodies Bethenny the woman; it is real and unfiltered five days a week. Bethenny, "the queen of too much information," brings her honest, non-judgmental and playful perspective to the topics that women care about most; love and relationships, celebrities and pop culture, beauty and fitness, as well as her own relatable personal and professional life experiences. From fun and spontaneous celebrity interviews to informative takeaway on health and relationship issues, "Bethenny" is the go-to destination where women can come every day to learn, laugh, feel inspired and be transformed.
In addition to being regularly featured in national publications from The New York Times to Forbes, she is a regular contributor to Health and Glamour Magazine. Last year, Frankel checked novelist off her list with the release of her first novel, Skinnydipping, an instant New York Times Best-Seller, which chronicles the story of Faith Brightstone, an entrepreneur-turned-reality-TV-star who must choose between fame and love. Her first book Naturally Thin: Unleash Your Skinnygirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting debuted on The New York Times Best-Sellerslist and remained onthe list for an impressive 18 consecutive weeks. Frankel's second book, The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life was released just in time to support "new year, new you" resolutions with delicious, practical, effective recipes and lifestyle tweaks. The Skinnygirl Dish showcases
Frankel'srenowned "fix-ology,"her ability to take calorie-rich foods and revamp them to create healthier versions without compromising flavor. In A Place of Yes: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out Of Life, Frankel put her personal experiences into a framework of rules, to encourage readers to take action when "good enough" really isn't good enough. A Place of Yes spent 13 weeks on The New York Times Best-Sellers list. And her fifthbook will be released summer 2013, entitled Skinnygirl Solutions, which will include tips on relationship, career building and motherhood.
Her skill as a fixologist applies to cocktails, too. She created the Skinnygirl Margarita and in March 2011, the largest U.S.-based premium spirits company, Beam Inc. (NYSE:BEAM), acquired Skinnygirl Cocktails where Bethenny continues to serve as the committed brand collaborator, developer and marketer. Skinnygirl Cocktails is currently one of the fastest growing spirits brands in the U.S.
Frankel has enjoyed expanding her Skinnygirl brand by creating products for women with practical solutions to everyday problems. Her Skinnygirl Smoothers n' Shapers line was created as "lazy lingerie," shapewear you actually want people to see, all the designs are practical with a hint of fun, flirtiness and sexiness. Her Skinnygirl Daily nutraceutical line was developed for women (and men) to have a variety of products to fit into and promote healthy lifestyle. The line includes Skinnygirl Cleanse and Restore, which is a daily cleanse packet that gently removes toxins from the body and replaces it with essential greens, Skinnygirl Daily Weight Management supplement, and Skinnygirl Daily on-the-go bars (which are vegan, kosher and natural). Her Skinnygirl Workout collection includes yoga DVD's and workout accessories that are perfect for "fitting in fitness." Products currently include: Skinnygirl Mini Stepper, Weighted Fitness Gloves and Ankle Weights, Fitness Mat Wrap, and Folding Mat & Tote.
As the go-to expert for all things reality and lifestyle, Frankel wields her pen (and Iphone) like a sword, ensuring that her fans will get the unvarnished truth along with common sense, expertise and a healthy –always-healthy – dose of humor. She is on a mission to democratize healthy living, making information available to everyone she can reach through her appearances, books, columns and blogs … and now her daytime talk show.

A study found that men are more likely to have nightmares about disaster while women will be haunted by dreams of "interpersonal conflict." A group of Canadian researchers studied 572 volunteers who recorded a total of 10,000 dream journals.
The study, "Thematic And Content Analysis Of Idiopathic Nightmares And Bad Dreams," found that men were twice as likely (9.4% compared to 4.7%) to report nightmares of disaster and calamity than women.
Dr. Genevieve Robert and Dr. Antonio Zadra from the department of psychology at the University Of Montreal published the research.
Dr Robert remarks on some of the more severe repercussions of women's nightmares, saying, "dreams of interpersonal conflicts may elicit a more intense emotional response in women, leading to a greater proportion of such dreams ending in nightmare awakening."

Q&A: My child has become very aggressive in social situations. How can I stop this?
My son just turned 2 and is an only child. In order to provide him with some socialization with other children I have enrolled him in music and gymnastics classes. The first semesters in both he did great; he participated, was cooperative, and was somewhat interactive with the other children in the classes.
Now that he has turned 2, all of this has changed. He has become aggressive and uncooperative. He doesn't want any other child to touch a piece of equipment he is using in gymnastics, he yells at them and tries to hit. He tries to interact with some of the other children (he leans close to them and says, "hi" or touches them). If they do not respond he gets aggressive and kicks or hits. I take him away from the siutation for a short time out, tell him the behavior is unacceptable, demonstrate acceptable behavior (asking nicely or touching gently) but he then yells at me and continues to try to "attack" the other child, or runs around wildly.
He does not behave like this at home or when we have guests in our house, only when he is away from home. I am considering taking him out of these classes for fear he will actually hurt someone.
Can you please advise me?
Some children have this difficulty adjusting to situations by temperament, which remains a lifelong tendency. But you describe behavior that has changed, and that only occurs in certain situations. So the question is, what is it about this situation which causes him to react negatively?
Here are some possibilities to consider:
- He is in a stage of development in which he is easily frustrated by, say, being asked to share or not getting the expected response from another child. In which case, with the good modelling of more appropriate behavior (that you are already doing) and with some time, this should improve.
- He is at his worst because he is "stressed," from hunger or fatigue. Are these classes at a time when he would ordinarily be eating or sleeping? If this is so, some adjustments to his schedule may offer improvement.
- He is overwhelmed by the crowd of children or the level of stimulation in the class. Since he isn't yet able to verbalize his feelings, he will 'act them out' with frustrated behavior. Perhaps you could add a small, short playdate to his week, where he only needs to deal with one other toddler in a less stimulating environment. You should be able to tell by how he reacts to this situation whether he is ready for the bigger class setting.

This Week in the Twitterverse
Programming Notes
Football season is upon us, and with the end of OT season it seems like about time to put This Week in the Twitterverse on the shelf for a while. We've got a few ideas as to its replacement, but I'm open to suggestions as well.
Also, you may notice that the name on the dog-tag has changed. Given the number of Brians/Bryans/Bhrayinz working around these parts nowadays, I figured it might reduce some confusion if I peeked half-way out of the name closet, especially since I haven't been in South Bend for a couple of years. Don't worry, I'm still a football-playing golden retriever writing based on the promise of delicious noms.
Now... ON TO THE TWITTERVERSE
Social Commitments
I'm sure you all saw last week that Jared Wangler announced that he would become the 38th* Wangler to play football at Michigan. But one of the interesting things about it was that he announced it via Vine.
This is a very encouraging development. No frills, no long lingering build-up, no reach-for-this-hat-fake-grab-that-hat-SURPRISE-I'm-wearing-a-Florida-elbow-pad. Derrick Green's principal talked for like 20 minutes. I think Cullen Christian's announcement is still ongoing. Wangler took exactly six seconds. Done and done. This was the 12-minute wedding ceremony of football announcements.
In that vein, it's only logical that more recruits should commit via various social media outlets. And I have a few suggestions, based on the school you're planning to choose.
- Alabama - YouTube. In fact, 2014 WR commit Derek Kief already did so. So feel free to post your commitment, but be warned: it may be pulled down by the platform at any time based on the flimsiest of reasons, including the ambiguous "violation of the Terms of Service." You will have no recourse.
- Nebraska - Instagram Video. It's like Vine, but it's 15 seconds long, so you get an extra nine seconds of your life before Bo Pelini starts yelling at you about the size and color of your ears or whatever is pissing him off today.
- Ohio State - Regular Instagram. Buckeye players are kinda video-averse these days for some reason. Plus you can use cool filters like "black-and-white security footage."
- MSU - iTunes. Rap game. Spartan fo life. Fo fo life.
- Penn State - Vine. But you can only use the first 4 seconds. It's actually in the NCAA sanctions. Look it up.
- Notre Dame - Christian Mingle. "I found Touchdown Jesus's match for me..."
- Maryland - MySpace. Nothing screams "wait... people still do that? What are you thinking? No one will ever see you there" like MySpace.
- Northwestern - LinkedIn . Networking is a lifelong pursuit, people.
- Kentucky - Google Plus. A platform that, while tied into the biggest name in the game, is only a peripheral member of that association which is smirked at by the rest of the empire, still kinda sucks, and you know isn't going to succeed long-term? Sounds like Kentucky to me.
- Iowa - Manual Typewriter. Kirk Ferentz doesn't approve of the internet. Or computers. Or the forward pass.
- Purdue - WebMD. "I've decided to play my four years at Purdue." / "TOP RESULTS: Torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament." / "But my knee doesn't feel... oh, there it is."
- Ole Miss - PayPal. Oh, no reason. No reason at all.
*Estimate. Exact figures are unavailable.
[AFTER THE JUMP: Jay Bilas sees hypocrisy. Twitter is sees the future. Sparty doesn't see what's in front of him.]
Fun With Quotes: Dantonio Edition
This week in football coaches make obvious statements about how recruiting rankings are not guarantees:
Michigan State's Mark Dantonio wary of star rating systems used to classify recruits
"If you come in as a four‑star recruit, really doesn't serve any purpose," Dantonio said.
Last year in football coach talking about a guy in his recruiting class:
"For the third straight year, Michigan State gets the top player, perceived top player by the media in the state of Michigan."
(This was Aaron Burbridge, who turned out to be MSU's only receiver not toting bricks around for hands. The previous two were Lawrence Thomas, last seen playing FB/TE/DL/horrible mutated fly-man, and the wildly overrated but still long-term starter and NFL draft pick Will Gholston.)
I mean you guys at some point we're going to get all the football coaches in a room and carefully explain to them that we don't think the rankings are iron-clad guarantees, either, and that if they could just take that as a given we could all talk about something else for once. In any case, Dantonio won't have to walk a fine line between being a hipster about rankings and trumpeting his acquisition of the top player in the state this year.
Unverified Voracity Et Al
The Michigan Difference. From the Iowa game:
et al
I will take this radio host's opinion and trust it because that's what I want to do. Gene Smith just stopped by the local sports talk radio station and said the following things:
Gene "probably leaning to playing more conference games considering the amount of teams we are at"
And said this as well, paraphrased:
Gene was emphatic that preserving that game is job one. Good news as far as Im concerned.
And the guy doing the interview got this impression:
Get the feeling talking to Gene just now that OSU and Michigan in same division will be a likely endgame.
At least there's one guy maybe trying to do the thing that makes sense. Good job… Gene Smith? We have reached a strange place indeed.
Mitigating damage. We've heard this before only to have it beaten back by the need to squeeze every penny out, but if they don't expand the conference schedule now come on man:
After announcing the addition of Maryland to the league Monday, Big Ten commissioner said during a national teleconference that the league's conference football schedule could increase to nine games, and the league's basketball slate could jump up to as many as 20 contests for each team.
"I think more games is on the table," Delany said. "One of the reasons we stayed at 11 (members) and stayed at 12 is because we love to play each other more, not less."
My wacky idea for the basketball schedule is to play everybody once, draw a line in the middle, and then play six more with the top teams facing off and the bottom teams facing off. Never happen, but it would at least make the regular season title a nonrandom event based heavily on who you didn't play.
Meanwhile, a nine game conference schedule in football with the current protected rivalry setup would mean teams played opponents in the other division 33% of the time. Better than twice every twelve years; still less than is necessary to support any true rivalry with the opposite divisions.
Guaransheed! Mark Dantonio:
"When we win Saturday -- and I'll say when -- we'll be a 6-6 football team, not climbing out of the cellar as a 2-10 football team," Dantonio said.
Would you like to backtrack like whoah, though?
It sure sounded like a guarantee. So I asked Dantonio later on the Big Ten coaches' call whether he was, in fact, guaranteeing a victory.
"I don't guarantee anything," he said. "I'm saying that's the mindset we bring when we come."
Aw man just roll with it.
The hate. MVictors has created a grid of hate.
I assume that ending the losing streak has cooled off some of the Penn State hate; when I went in 2006 I would have classified that as orange. Also, Illinois should be red for them and green for us—when my wife, an Illinois undergrad not too up on sports, came to Michigan for her PhD she was under the impression that Michigan was Illinois's primary rival.
Meanwhile, fire up Rutgers and Maryland versions: all Big Ten teams totally indifferent towards them, Maryland and Rutgers getting continually more pissed off that Big Ten fans would like to see their universities vanish from the planet.
This is not about TV? Delany:
Delany said that, in his opinion, too much has been made about the move to add Rutgers as a pure cable television play. He emphasized how difficult it will be to integrate the Big Ten Network into the lucrative New York and New Jersey market.
"It's a difficult business," he said. "It's not always successful. You have to be good and lucky and hardworking at it. People treat it as if there's a no-risk assessment. There's always a risk. This initiative has risk. If it was so easy why didn't it happen a long time ago?"
Delany said the media has a perception that growing into cable homes in the East and mid-Atlantic regions is easy. He strongly disagrees with that notion.
"It's not that way," he said. "We went a year with the Big Ten Network without distributing in core areas. We decided we wanted to do that we did it and hung together. We'll have discussion with people."
Hmmm. I am not sure this is the best idea I have ever heard.
How will we spend the money? This is the saddest thing I've read about all of this, a post from On The Banks about what they'll do with all the money:
That being said, staff raises and respectable budget should be in order all around.
Yes. Get The Picture takes apart an annoying Andy Staples article:
This is Staples' blessing of the situation:
None of us grew up with Ohio State-Maryland or Michigan-Rutgers. This is different, and different is always scary. But the Big Ten saw a chance to add value, and Maryland saw a chance to make more money in a time of economic uncertainty. This marriage may not square with your idea of which teams should or shouldn't play in the Big Ten, but in this economy, none of us should be criticizing a school for making a sound fiscal choice.
It's not that it's scary. It's that it's boring. It's like shopping for an insurance policy instead of a new car. We're fans. We don't give a rat's ass about our schools making sound fiscal choices. (Just ask Tennessee fans about that right now.)
This is soul-numbing. And it's been done in such an in-your-face way that it won't even be worth making an effort to laugh the next time Delany has the stones to invoke tradition when he talks about the television programming he schedules, er… conference he leads.
Money is a zero-sum game. It can only be used on the facilities treadmill and coach salary treadmill. It does nothing for the people the money actually comes from, especially when the richest conference in the country goes out and hires Jerry Kill and Danny Hope and Tim Beckman.
The overwhelming feeling of adding Rutgers and Maryland is boredom. No one is going to wake up the morning their team plays either of those schools and do anything but shrug, and as the expansion continues that will spread to other teams. Michigan State and Wisconsin have a nice thing going; now they don't meet for four years. In the future there won't even be a way for those nice things to get going, because oh God Rutgers is on the schedule again.
More on the dissolution of the bundle empire. Conveniently timed SBJ article:
Nobody thinks that the World Series or NBA Finals will be on YouTube any time soon. But top executives with MLB and the NBA said they've seen increased interest from digital media companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple in recent months.
"They are sniffing around," said MLB's Brosnan, who just negotiated media deals with ESPN, Fox and Turner. "Pay-TV services are never secure, but with TV Everywhere starting to gain some traction, pay TV is looking like it's building a model that might have some traction and will be here to stay."
Stern, whose NBA is in the fifth year of eight-year media rights deals with ESPN and Turner, said he anticipates a time when digital media companies place a bet on sports rights in the same way that Fox Sports invested in the NFL in 1994.
The problem for the BTN model is not going to be actual fans signing up to pay but increasing numbers of sports-indifferent cord-cutters who opt out of subsidizing sports fans and just Netflix/Hulu/whatever everything. The current model is going to be the newspaper business in short order here, wheezing out a decline.
The 60 Minutes thing. It is here:
And there is a bonus thing.
Oh right Ohio State. This could have waited a week maybe, Mr. Delany? Articles from Maize and Go Blue and two from Eleven Warriors, one on the New War, the other on Goebels past and present.
Etc.: Fake conversations with Jim Delany are about to become a cottage industry. Penn State loses Tim Frazier for the year, which just obliterates them. They were outscored 53-24 by Akron in the second half after Frazier went out. He'll be back next year. Weinreb bombs everything. The Iowa game from the Hawkeye perspective.
One Frame At A Time: Michigan State
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to One Frame At A Time, our new weekly gifs post that will go up each Monday morning after football weekends (and probably continuing into basketball season, too, and whenever else it strikes my fancy).
From here on out, words will be sparse; if one picture is worth a thousand, I won't bother to calculate how many are accounted for by a moving image—bajillions, probably. In that sense, apologies for my wordiness, but the Michigan State game was a treasure trove for gifs. Par exemple:
[Due to the large file sizes, the rest of this week's gifs are after THE JUMP. Remember that you can always hit 'escape' (except in Chrome) to stop the animation.]
The Threat
"We're laying in the weeds. We've beat Michigan the last four years. So where's the threat?" — Mark Dantonio
Celebrate. Pants optional. Brunettes mandatory.
Unverified Voracity Had The Wind Knocked Out Of Its Head
New Yost. Looks nice…
…but is set to further erode the atmosphere in the stadium as the first three rows of the student section have been excised for additional handicap seating. I guess it's inevitable that would eat out a chunk of the students because money is the primary motivator for the department, but that continues a long tradition of crapping on the student section without offering anything in return that started with the terribly-designed (and perpetually half-empty) club seat overhang that eliminated the last four rows on that side of the arena and made a further four or five partially obstructed when you stand, as students do. With every renovation the capacity gets smaller and the prices go up.
Meanwhile, this is not a good idea:
On the bright side, it appears that opposing parents are sitting next to us this year. [insert evil laugh here]
Maybe the student section has mellowed enough in the past five years to make this workable but the last time this happened, hockey parents moving into the students to find who was talking about their boy were an annual occurrence. Michigan's asking for it.
Descent into Captain Queeg-dom: 75% complete. Mark Dantonio's presided over two mass player brawls, picked multiple players up from jail to drive them to practice, seen William Gholston treat Denard Robinson's head like a beer with a twist-off cap and punch Taylor Lewan without lifting a finger (the Big Ten levied the suspension, remember), had a public hissy fit after last week's EMU game, and he's just getting started.
As I was checking out the Brayfriend Experience in Athens, Michigan State was playing Ohio State in East Lansing. A film kerfuffle and eye-gouging incident have obscured the true WTF moment from that game:
Will Gholston laid motionless on top of Braxton Miller for a good 30 seconds after that hit, wobbled off the field, and then returned. The sideline reporter dutifully related that Gholston "had the wind knocked out of him."
That's appalling. Anyone who hits the video above can see the ref tapping Gholston in the back to get up; he does not get up. He's just taken a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit and lays there for 30 seconds. Does it matter if he's actually unconscious or just incapable of moving for 30 seconds? No. That guy is done for the day, unless you're Dantonio. The blatant lie about what happened to him is just the cherry on top.
I guess it's nice that Dantonio has the same disregard for the safety of his own players as he does for his opponents, though. (Remember who was Robert Reynolds's DC: Dantonio.) He's got that going for him.
I assume this will once and for all end the bible-thumping, square-jawed discipline dean media meme, right?
BONUS: hey, guess what everyone who said words to the effect of "good" in the thread on this on the board got? Banned.
In other MSU news. Their OL took another hit when starting center Travis Jackson went out for the year against OSU. They inserted journeyman senior Ethan Ruhland at center after the injury and are rolling with a redshirt freshman at LG; Blake Treadwell has been bouncing in and out of the lineup with injury. If Michigan had suffered the injuries they have already we'd be sitting here in sackcloth and ashes—okay, more sackcloth and ashes—gibbering.
OSU's Jordan Hall tore his PCL and is doubtful for next week but apparently will be "evaluated on a week to week basis."
Uniforms. No Z. We'll see how the motion shortz go with these things but these actually look pretty slick from the rear:
This will all be ruined by Muff the Magic Block M on the front, I know.
UPDATE: front. I like 'em.
Why are we stopping this again? Michigan-ND kills, man:
Michigan-Notre Dame
Clemson-Florida State
Kansas State-Oklahoma
That was an NBC record. Surely NBC is pissed off that Stanford for some reason is taking the place of M-ND and that Purdue and Duke and Wake Forest are hitting up Irish schedules now.
Maisel also points out that this is all Texas's fault.
If only anyone had paid any attention last year. Gholston a draft faller:
William Gholston*/DE/Michigan State: Gholston failed to impress during the Spartans' devastating conference defeat at the hands of Ohio State. Though he continued to play despite being injured in the first half, Gholston provided no impact and was minimally productive. In five games this season, he has posted just a single sack.
I thought they were nice. I may have been wrong.
Yeah, but have they had two people on Survivor? Georgia has. I saw it on their jumbotron.
Etc.: Google docs spreadsheet with Michigan hockey TV appearances from the HSR. Things that should have been at the estate sale that wasn't.

SEOUL, South Korea – A South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman says Seoul believes that a nuclear test caused an earthquake in North Korea near the site of two previous atomic tests.
Kim Min-seok says North Korea informed China and the United States of its plans to conduct a nuclear test.
The South Korean Defense Ministry, which raised its military alert level after the quake, said it was trying to determine whether it was a test. Nuclear blasts can create tremors but they are distinct from those caused by natural earthquakes.
The U.S. Geological Survey as well as earthquake monitoring stations in South Korea detected an earthquake just north of a site where North Korea conducted its second nuclear test in 2009.
There is a high possibility that North Korea has conducted a nuclear test, said Chi Heoncheol, an earthquake specialist at the government-funded Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources.
Chi said a magnitude-3.9 earthquake and a magnitude-4.5 earthquake were detected in the North's 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.
Gunman, 2 others killed at courthouse
A gunman who spent years in court battles over custody disputes opened fire Monday in the lobby of a Delaware courthouse, leaving two women dead before being fatally shot, authorities said.
He walked right up the first victim and shot her point-blank right in the chest. He then turned around and shot a second woman who was approximately 10 feet away, said Bill Heriot, who says he was waiting to enter the New Castle County Courthouse on Monday morning. He said the heavy-set man, who appeared to be in his 50s, pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and fired a single shot at each victim.
Heriot said the shooter then exchanged gunfire with police before falling to the floor.
Authorities said two police officers were also shot, but were treated at a hospital and released. Chief William Jopp of the Capitol Police, which provides security at state government buildings, said they were protected by their armored vests.
Thousands gather to mourn slain ex-SEAL
As military service members carried the flag-draped coffin out of Cowboys Stadium, the sounds of bagpipes echoed and people saluted Chris Kyle, an ex-Navy SEAL sniper who dedicated his post-military career to helping other veterans.
Widow Taya Kyle spoke through tears earlier, surrounded by her husband's military friends, her voice trembling as she described to a crowd of thousands what my slow-talking Texas man had meant to his family, friends and country.
Nearly 7,000 people, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, attended the service. Dozens of military personnel and others were seated in front of the podium near the Dallas Cowboys' star at midfield, where Kyle's casket was placed at the beginning.
Child in car killed in random shooting
Oakdale police say a gunman killed a 10-year-old and wounded two other people in an apparent random shooting.
KMSP-TV reports several bursts of gunfire erupted Monday night near a Rainbow Foods store in the eastern Twin Cities suburb. Oakdale Police Chief Tom Sullivan says the gunman fired at a car carrying the 10-year-old and the child's mother. Sullivan says the child died and the mother was wounded in the arm. A woman in another car was struck and wounded in the hand.
The police chief tells the Associated Press a 33-year-old man is in custody and is being questioned by investigators.
Northeast returns to work after blizzard
The workweek opened with a white-knuckle ride Monday in the snow-clobbered Northeast as drivers encountered unplowed streets, two-lane roads reduced to a single channel and snowbanks so high it was impossible see around corners.
Schools remained closed across much of New England and New York, and more than 80,000 homes and businesses were still waiting for the electricity to come back on after the epic storm swept through on Friday and Saturday with 1 to 3 feet of snow that entombed cars and sealed up driveways.
The storm was blamed for at least 18 deaths in the U.S. and Canada, and officials warned of a new danger as rain and higher temperatures set in: roof collapses.
Donald Byrd, jazz musician, dies at 80
Donald Byrd, a top hard-bop trumpeter of the 1950s who recorded dozens of albums and collaborated with artists including Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, has died at 80. A Michigan funeral home says Byrd died Feb. 4 in Delaware.
Byrd later enjoyed commercial success with hit jazz-funk fusion records such as Black Byrd and later still became known in hip-hop.
Byrd was the first person to teach jazz at Rutgers University and started the jazz studies department at Howard University.

Are you a TV Fanatic?

^Like everyone else i also think its a hallucination but it'd be awesome to have her back.and plz none of the vampires really act their age except Caroline.Look at the Salvatores,still fighting over a girl who doesn't deserve their attention,atleast Katherine was fun,Elena looks like a stick of wood and acts like it too.
I loved Hayley!!! And can she be like frenemies or something with Caroline? That would be awesome. Stefan annoyed me so much in this episode. everything about Elena lolololol...
I saw the promo before the episode, so in the last scene where Elena was freaking out, I thought that Katherine got inside her head to mess her up. But then I saw the promo again and they said that killing a hunter has consequences? sigh.. I think it would be awesome if Katherine was messing with Elena's head.
As for the cure stuff, Plec said that it's something so much bigger. Like when all we knew was that Katherine wanted a moonstone and the story behind it was bigger.
Anyway, I'm enjoying s4 so much more than s3 so that's good!
@Kitanishi you are wrong on all counts. . .
Anyway, because of the positive responce to this episode(OP) i decided to download and watch it. I was quite surprised. I haven't watched the other 4 episodes, but i have had an understanding of what have been going on due to reading about it here.
Elena was good. Finally she didn't get bossed around by the Salvatores. Well sort of not. Stefan forced control upon himself, vervaining Damon and stuff. Elena then choose to take action AGAINST Stefan's "orders". She actually saved the entire situation in the grill. Then later when she kills Connor. It was good until she started burrying him and when she said "You told me to kill him, so I did". That was stupid. I kinda hoped she would have stepped up to her actions, knwoing she did it to protect etc. etc.
Stefan was a douche. These people are big on trust, but i personally don't mind when Stefan plot behind everyones back. I like it even in S3 with the coffins, although it was a little vague. But it was the thing where he assumed what Elena's future should be.
Damon had an incredible little role in this one. But still, it was good. He didn't cry or spill his heart at any point, so bonus for that. Same goes for Klaus. He only talked a bit in this episode, and he has an awesome voice so it's good.
This April chick seems to either get a story or GTFO. Jeremy was boring as an emo(but then came Anna), and currently this chick seems like a more whimpy version of emo Jeremy. Matt was boring as he always had been. Bad actor as well, overplaying his scenes. For some reason he can never play it cool, he always has to put this wretched "emtionfull" face on in every scene he does.
I don't think this is the end of Connor. Not completly atleast. Maybe the actor won't return, but i believe Jeremy will find some of his stuff, and train himself in secret, using Connor's note and such at one point. This feels like an acutally interesting storyline for Jeremy, where he might split and take a stand from the group. I can't see the thing people make with Buffy and male slayers either. Sure it's somewhat similar, but it only makes sense, and it isn't Buffy unique. Also the thing with sexism because it is male hunters? Sorry but we live in more advanced time where that kind of forcible female empowerment isn't needed because we can think for ourselves. I am not saying what the writers and producers might think, and i honestly couldn't care less. Also i don't believe it was specified it was males only? Am i wrong? I saw a clip with the medival dude with the incredible hair and the other dudes as well. But this is in medival times. Ofcause the one who thought of this would pick 5 men in medival times. Women weren't fighters back then. Anyway, if it is male specific, i am wrong, but i still wouldn't care.
Caroline continues to be awesome. The "No, you don't tell me what to think!" line was awesome. More Caroline please. No creepy "triangle" stuff between Caroline-Tyler-Klaus. Did Tyler cheat? I am not to clear on that? Was it hinted in an earlier episode that he cheated? Anyway if he didn't, thank god, it would be lame if he did.
That's my 1.5 cents.

"STAA has demonstrated to me that their clients are people who take their careers seriously. They are committed to the industry. If they're going to make that initial investment of time and money in STAA, then I'm going to align myself with that company. STAA gives them an understanding of what it takes to get the job."

Good news for Alt-J fans: the band has revealed plans to begin working on their second studio album as soon as they finish their current tour. Keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton says that the guys have been working on a number of song ideas while they've been out on the road promoting their debut release, An Awesome Wave .
"[We] come up with little things maybe just on our own, or with one or two of us, or sometimes in soundcheck we have little jams if we have time and like make lots of little recordings on our phones," he tells ABC News Radio. "I think once we finish this tour, which will be in a few months, we'll kind of open up the…treasure trove of these recordings we'd made for the last year and a half and see what we've got."
Guitarist Gwil Sainsbury adds that while the group has made tentative plans to begin the songwriting process in October, fans shouldn't count on getting their hands on the finished record anytime soon.
"Our approach with the first album was that we were at university while we wrote most of it, so we did it in a very relaxed way over a long period of time," he explains. "I think the long and the short of it is we don't know how long it will take to make our next album. It will be ready when it's ready."

Mike Tyson was the baddest man in the ring for years and his behavior outside the ropes was pretty bad too at times.
From raping a woman and serving time to biting the ear off of his opponent - Evander Holyfield - and other high crimes and misdemeanors, there was no greater public figure in American pop culture than Iron Mike.
People either loved him or hated him and he made no apologies.
Well that was then and this is now and Tyson has a new wife and seemingly new life and he's been doing some work in Hollywood between TV shows and movies and now he's going to the theater, launching a 10-week national tour which begins in February.
It's said to be an a behind the scenes tell all and how he has found the path to redemption.
Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth runs here in Chicago from Feb. 15 to Feb. 17. It's produced by Spike Lee.
It had a short run on Broadway to mixed reviews.

I was surprised at the subtle sweetness of this cranberry concentrate. I have purchased other concentrates as well as reconstituted quart bottles, and they all are much more tart and not as flavorful as the Dynamic Health brand. I kept looking at the ingredient list to see if a sweetener had been added, and there is none. For those of you who avoid pure cranberry juice because of the tartness, try this brand. iHerb packages well and delivers promptly. I bought 5 bottles for the best shipping rate, enough to share or keep me in stock for awhile.

I have a recurring problem with my urinary tract and this concentrate helps a lot. I drink it with water daily and don't feel any pain. Taste is also wonderful. Great to drink with water, add to smoothies, or my favourite, pour it over a fruit salad.
Great Product!

I have tried countless cranberry-only juices, and I think this one has the best flavor. The 8 ounce (and 16 oz) concentrate takes up little space in the fridge. I like that I can select the water (flat or sparkling). You can also add it to other juice blends that you find too sweet or weak. You can also keep other flavors (like pomegranate, elderberry and blueberry) to blend with it as you please.
Excellent product

I just tried this brand of cranberry juice. Have used several others and this is by far the best. Great flavor.
