"Support The Troops" Is Not An Argument
9/13/2014 – Michigan 34, Miami (Not That Miami) 10 – 2-1
Jake Ryan did a good job of not blowing up Hendrix for penalties [Eric Upchurch]
Michigan Stadium was a roomy place on Saturday, somewhat full of cranky people waiting for an opportunity to vent their ire. They held their fire after a Gardner interception; they held their fire when Michigan was tied 10-10 with a team that hadn't won a game since 2012 midway through the second quarter.
This was a bit of a surprise. Hell, the 1997 team(!) got booed at halftime of their game against Iowa when they went into the locker room down 21-7. (This was definitely performance-related, exacerbated by a late Tim Dwight punt return touchdown. The tenor of the boo was WE KNOW YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS LET'S GOOOO and when they came out of the locker room the corresponding cheer was much louder than it usually is. But damn we used to have some expectations.)
In 2014, after seven years of mostly unrelenting failure, on the heels of a humiliating shutout in the Last Notre Dame Game, I was expecting more audible grumbles. Michigan fans held off, possibly too stunned by last week to do anything but meekly absorb events in front of them.
Then Michigan took a delay of game penalty (after a timeout!) and decided to punt from the Miami 37 with a minute left in the half. This was pure coaching malpractice that reminded a grumbly Michigan Stadium of last year's Penn State game. The boos rained down. It was loud. It was grumbly. It was statistically accurate.
As the game rolled along and Michigan proved themselves about as superior as you'd think they should be, this game receded from the hateful constellation of lower-level matchups that turned into stomach-churning wins or even losses.
When you end up giving up fewer than 200 yards to an opposing offense you've established that they are very bad and you are not. Eventually Michigan's ground game kicked in and put up similar YOU ARE BAD numbers. Erase some pretty random turnovers (deflected pass at the line, redshirt freshman pop-up kickoff fumble) and this is 45-0 or thereabouts.
I know you don't believe turnovers are random, person on the internet who I am anticipating a "LOL" comment from, but even you have to admit that when a throw goes from probably on target to directly in the chest of an opposing player because it glances off a fingertip that's just life giving you the middle finger, and not—oh you just said MAKE PLAYS in seriousness on the radio nevermind this sentence. Players make plays. Etc.
Anyway: in retrospect I am not stressing about this game.
I was in the second quarter, like everyone else, and while I didn't actually boo—I am in the too-shocked-to-do-anything club—I agreed with it. What's more, I deeply appreciated that the people still mad enough to let someone know about it waited for the perfect moment.
When Pat Fitzgerald was asked about Northwestern fans being upset in the aftermath of the Wildcats' 0-2 start, he responded thusly.
"No shit."
This is a press conference answer to get behind. It is brief, quotable, and addresses the situation. Fitzgerald is not surprised that fans are upset; he is upset (he called the team "an embarrassment to anyone that ever put on the purple and white"); fans should be too.
When Brady Hoke was asked an open-ended question about his message to the fans, he said this:
As far as the fans that watch from the outside and see some of the similar issues that they saw last season, what would you say to them and how concerning is it as a coaching staff?
"If they're truly fans they'll believe in these kids and what they've done and the hard work that they've put in. If they're not, they won't."
To the great misfortune of someone whose words are repeated verbatim on the internet, he would later claim to be misquoted. At least he has been told that knocking the fans who pay his salary and are currently leaning towards "tar and feather" over "put FOR SALE signs on front lawn" is not great, Bob.
But he has succumbed to the post-9/11 Godwin's Law: eventually someone in charge of the troops is going to tell you to support the troops, because he thinks that's the best argument he's got left. You think knocking over tinpot dictators halfway across the world with no real hope of installing anything that won't collapse the minute you leave is a bad idea? Support the troops, buddy. Why don't you support the troops?
So kudos to Michigan Stadium for holding its fire until the guy on the sideline with the timeout blundered his way into a fourth and eleven punt that went into the endzone on the fly. It was 1000% clear who was and was not supported at that moment.
Michigan is at least tolerant of the troops even when they're struggling against Not That Miami. Michigan is pissed off at the guys in charge. No amount of deflection will hide that fact.
Brady Hoke Epic Double Points Of The Week. #1 is Derrick Green, who was often the recipient of gaping holes but hit them and even made some yards himself.
#2 is Jourdan Lewis, who turned in excellent coverage all day and came up with an excellent interception.
#3 is Brennen Beyer, because it is impossible to really distinguish between the various guys whipping up on Miami's OL but Beyer got a sack.
Honorable mention:
Epic Double Point Standings.
6: Devin Funchess (#1, APP, #1 ND)
3: Derrick Green(#1 MIA)
2: Devin Gardner (#2, APP), Willie Henry (#2 ND), Jourdan Lewis (#2 MIA)
1: Ryan Glasgow (#3, ND), Brennen Beyer(#3 MIA)
0.5: Kyle Kalis (T3, APP), Ben Braden (T3, APP)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week.
For the single individual best moment.
This was a one yard run but let us sit and savor the fact that even against a terrible defense Michigan had a touchdown that looked like this.
Honorable mention: Jake Butt shakes free for a fake screen(!) touchdown, something we haven't seen since Hoke's arrival. Jourdan Lewis runs a guy's fade for him, picks off a ball thrown too far inside. Dennis Norfleet and the KO unit execute a right-sided return on a kick to the left out to the 50. Derrick Green breaks backside and breaks a tackle for a 20-yard gain.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
AppSt: Derrick Green rumbles for 60 yards.
ND: Nothing.
MIA: Derrick Green scores a goal line touchdown without being so much as touched.
Worst. Event. Ever. This Week.
Devin Funchess standing on the sideline because Michigan threw him a bubble screen halfway through the fourth quarter of a 31-0 game.
Honorable mention: Delay of game ack ack ack, Gardner interception (deflected, FWIW), kickoff mishap, Darboh fumble, various early runs that didn't go anywhere.
PREVIOUS EPBs
AppSt: Devin Gardner dares to throw an incomplete pass.
ND: Countess nowhere to be found on fourth and three.
Miami: You did what to Funchess now when?

Brady Hoke in "Everyone's reaction to this game"
Opening remarks
"Number one, it was great to play back at home, first and foremost. It was great to win the football game. We needed to come back and move forward and it's always better to move with a win. I think from an offensive standpoint we did some very good things. I think the second half, obviously we took care of the football and didn't turn the ball over and then completed some drives that we had. I think the running game is where-- we wanted to run the ball the whole game but I think the second half we stayed away from some negative plays that put you in bad situations and we were able to run the ball. I thought Derrick [Green] and DeVeon [Smith] both did a nice job. The offensive line worked very hard. I think the guys on the perimeter did a nice job.
"I think defensively holding them to 2-of-12 from a third down perspective is [good for] getting your defense off the field and more opportunities for our offense. The rush for the second week-- looking at our defense we played that very well, the front seven did or if we were in nickel situations the nickel did when he was involved so those were the positives of it.
"We only got the one pick as far as a turnover. We've got to do a better job there. I thought we harassed the quarterback and I think Brennen Beyer on the one sack made just a great play because he finished the play, and how he finished it. It was good to be at home, like I said. We've got to go to work. Utah's a good football team. They're a tough football team. That's what-- they've had that M.O. for a long time and I think Kyle [Whittingham], coaching against him in the Mountain West and coaching against his team, they're always a physical group. We'll have our hands full."
Is that about what you wanted to see, aside from a five minute stretch in the second quarter?
"Number one, I wanted to see—our guys came out with energy. That was something, and I think part of that was the crowd when the game started. I think part of it is they're a very close team in a lot of ways and so them coming out and playing hard…would we have liked to have had a better first half in taking care of the football? Yeah."
Devin Gardner and his receivers: what kind of versatility and depth did you see from that wide receiving core in the absence of Devin Funchess?
"I think the addition of Jake Butt helps, getting him back and getting him healthy and we kind of picked our spots with using him in some way. But Darboh and Chesson are both very talented. Norfleet gives you a great spark. Freddy Canteen is starting to get back to where he kind of was last spring, so having some depth there helps. Obviously Devin Funchess can be a difference maker because of his size and athleticism but I think the other guys did a nice job."
Do you expect Devin back next week?
"Well, we'll see."

Michigan 34, Miami (NTM) 10
WITH AUTHORITY [Eric Upchurch/MGoBlog]
The gulf between box score and eye test is vast this evening.
The box score says Michigan gave hapless Miami their 19th straight loss with authority, outgaining the RedHawks 460-198, moving the ball well on the ground (6.1 YPC) and through the air (8.4 YPA), and ultimately cruising to a 24-point victory.
My eyes saw Michigan cough up three turnovers in the second quarter, allowing Hapless Miami to tie the game at ten apiece and hang around for a while.
The box score shows that Miami scored ten points against the Wolverine defense, but the eyes know those should be charged against Michigan's offense, as those scoring drives covered all of 26 and 21 yards following U-M turnovers.
The box score doesn't contain a giant red "WTF" flag. My eyes saw this at the end of the first half:
You can click to enlarge that picture, or I can just tell you that Michigan ran a four-minute drill with zero urgency or effectiveness. After Michigan tried to run a quick play on fourth-and-1, only for Miami to call a timeout before the snap, Brady Hoke decided to punt on 4th-and-6 from the Miami 37 when the Wolverines took a delay of game penalty coming out of that timeout. The decison to punt was so surprising Miami didn't put out a returner, then called a timeout of the "you can't be serious" variety. Finally, U-M took another delay of game to give Will Hagerup more room to boom a punt that hit the end zone on the fly.* Insert giant red "WTF" flag here.
The box score shows Devin Gardner had an efficient 184 yards and two TDs on 20 attempts, with one lone interception blemishing his stat line. The eyes saw his mechanics, which are all over the place, and at least two should-be interceptions hit the turf or, in the case of Jake Butt's first catch, get rescued by a great effort on the receiver's part. In fairness to Gardner, the box score also doesn't show that his interception was tipped at the line.
A crease, that. [Upchurch]
The box score and eye test agree on a couple things, at least. The offensive line did a fine job opening up holes after Miami stopped packing the box with eight defenders; when the RedHawks had to adjust to account for Michigan's wide-open receivers, Derrick Green went off, finishing the game with 137 yards and a pair of scoring runs on 22 carries. Green showed off patience, vision, and the decisive cuts necessary for success in a zone running scheme, and the numbers say as much.
Amara Darboh also looked good as he stepped into a starting role with Devin Funchess in street clothes; the redshirt sophomore caught six passes for 88 yards and Michigan's first touchdown—when he caught a quick slant and powered through a tackle to poke the ball across the plane—though he did lose a fumble during that stressful second quarter. Jake Butt looked healthy after playing sparingly against Notre Dame, finishing with three catches for 59 yards and a score on a clever fake screen called by Doug Nussmeier.
The defense thoroughly dominated Miami. RedHawks QB Andrew Hendrix could only muster 165 yards with one TD and one INT on 26 passes. The Miami passing game fared a whole lot better than their running game, which managed a paltry 33 yards on 24 attempts. The defensive front looked great, and even without starters Ray Taylor and Jarrod Wilson, the secondary held strong. Jourdan Lewis recorded his first career interception with a leaping grab on the sideline, while Jabrill Peppers impressed with his physical man coverage, forcing throw after throw to sail into the sideline.
The box score, which must be taken into account—our lyin' eyes being what they are—says Michigan turned in a dominant performance, with the final score a bit deceiving thanks to those turnovers. While it took longer than anyone hoped or expected, the Wolverines ultimately dispatched a bad team with relative ease.
On my drive home, however, I'll remember the groans that accompanied Hagerup's ill-fated punt, and the boos that followed the team into the tunnel, and I'll wonder what that kind of first-half performance would result in next week, when a plucky Utah squad coming off a bye week visits the Big House. The mental image isn't a pleasant one.
*Apologies for initially screwing up this sequence of events; now edited for accuracy, though the general "WTF" feeling stands, of course. This was horrible clock management and an infuriatingly conservative call in a one-score game against an overmatched opponent.

Punt-Counterpunt: Miami (NTM) 2014
Yeah, it sure does hurt.
By Heiko Yang
Well that sucked. Not sure what more I can say about last week other than I can't believe my pessimistic prediction (ND 21, UM 16) wasn't pessimistic enough. I actually thought at halftime that Michigan could shut out Notre Dame in the second half and score a couple touchdowns, but of course that didn't happen because why would anyone make any halftime adjustments.
One of the nice things about not covering the team anymore is I can choose to stop thinking about Michigan football during the week. I don't have to go to depressing press conferences and ask inconsequential questions about game plans and then have to listen to it all over again while transcribing. I don't have to open the mgoblog app or Twitter to read about how crappy Michigan played against Notre Dame and why the season is over. None of this is in my face anymore like it has been the last three years.
Except I still spend my free time scrutinizing postgame pressers, looking for the game column Monday around noon, waiting patiently for the UFRs, and scanning Twitter daily for developments. No matter how disappointing the result, I'm finding it impossible to mentally or emotionally distance myself from Michigan football.
Win or lose, following Michigan football is important for my happiness. I don't know why. It's an obsession that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and it's a weird feeling I've been trying to figure out for more than a year now. It's counterintuitive that I can feel better by thinking about the very thing that makes me feel miserable.
So far I've concluded that the underlying reason for all of this might be -- idunno, hope? Certainly not hope in the cure-for-cancer sense, but more like hope as a coping mechanism. I think most you get what I'm talking about. No matter how badly a game goes, there's always a degree to which every fan will rationalize the results and pick out the tiny glimmers of hope indicating that things weren't as bad as they seem and that there might be a better outcome next time.
As Michigan fans, we're lucky to have this blog to do the rationalizing for us. The weekly UFR is the ultimate tool with which to say, "Yeah, we scored zero points, but because of X, Y, and Z, we may be more likely to score more than zero points in the future." Even when Michigan is losing, like it was the entire second half of 2013, there are individual performances we can follow week to week in order to find tiny victories, like Frank Clark's emergence and Devin Gardner's heroic performances in spite of staggering adversity. It's always a thrill when these tiny victories come together in unison to give you that one perfect game or that one badly needed victory over a rival. Last game, it was good to know that there was improvement by defensive front and offensive line. Even though getting blanked by an absconding rival always sucks, it's nice to believe that the team is taking a step forward from last season's ineptitude.
I don't think this tendency will ever change, and I don't want it to. Michigan might be mediocre for the next five seasons, but many of us will continue to watch because we will always have hope that things will be better next game.
It isn't a bad addiction by any means. It's a weekly exercise in optimism, and there's nothing weird or maladaptive about a way of thinking that someday might actually help lead to a cure for cancer.
Michigan 52, Miami 10
By Nick RouMel
Welcome, Heiko, to Wolverines Anonymous. Have a cup of coffee and take a seat.
We too used to live and die on the outcome. A bad loss would ruin our day, if not our week. Look at my friend Jim over there, sitting in the folding chair, with a half eaten powdered sugar doughnut. In 1980, he was driving, listening to the Notre Dame game, when Harry Oliver's 51 yard field goal barely cleared the crossbar to beat Michigan, just as the fierce crosswinds that had been blowing all afternoon miraculously stopped.
Jim stopped his car on Washtenaw Avenue, got out, banged on the hood for a few miserable moments, and then presumably drove straight to the nearest bar. He still hasn't recovered.
Today, Heiko, we are on the road to recovery. It has been a long, arduous trip. But we are no longer emotionally beholden to the fate of the football team. We have stopped tailgating. We put our tickets on StubHub and hope they sell. We do crazy things on Saturday, like spend time with our families. Heiko, for the rest of us in this room, it's over.
Oh, sure, we do our share of cyberstalking. We check the score, furtively. In meetings, we scan MGoBlog, and nod knowingly at the sage insights, while our co-workers think we're agreeing with the boss. Our hearts still leap a little bit when we score a recruit, like Jabrill Peppers.
And when the opening drive is hitting on all cylinders, that familiar longing returns. We dare hope. But reality intrudes, rudely. Like when you're in a hotel bar in Toronto, watching the game with your wife, and it turns ugly. And you don't even realize your wallet was stolen while you were hammering down Rusty Nails and yelling at the screen. Thank you, Hilton security. But I digress.
It's not, Heiko. It's not important for your happiness. It's not a five year bump in the road. It's not what it once was. It's a diversion. That's why you're here. Have a coffee and doughnut, and pull up a chair. We can help you.
Yes, my name is Counterpunt and I'm a cranky old S.O.B. I haven't cared in …
Whoa, what's this report on my IPhone? John Harbaugh is tired of the Ray Rice mess in Baltimore and might be enticed to Ann Arbor? That would be a great fit! It could bring us back to glory!
Enjoy your doughnut, Heiko. I'm going to the game.

Solar energy jobs increase, wind power decrease
click image to zoom There may now be as many as 6.5 million direct and indirect jobs in renewable energy, according to updated data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Earlier assessments had put the global estimate at 2.3 million jobs in 2008 (United Nations Environment Programme) and at 5 million jobs in 2012 (International Labour Organization).
Although these estimates suggest a strong expansion in employment in renewable energy, the figures also represent successive efforts to broaden data collection across countries and sectors, wrote Worldwatch Senior Researcher Michael Renner and IRENA's Rabia Ferroukhi, Arslan Khalid, and Alvaro Lopez-Peña in the Worldwatch Institute's latest Vital Signs Online trend (www.worldwatch.org).
The overall upward trend in renewable energy jobs has been accompanied by considerable turmoil in some industries. Nowhere are the upheavals more noticeable than in the solar photovoltaic (PV) sector, where intensified competition, massive overcapacities, and tumbling prices have caused a high degree of turbulence in the last two to three years, but they have also triggered a boom in installations. Global PV employment is thought to have expanded from 1.4 million jobs in 2012 to as many as 2.3 million in 2013.
Solar PV has bypassed biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) as the top renewable energy job generator. Most of the 1.45 million biofuels jobs are found in the growing and harvesting of feedstock such as sugar cane, corn or palm oil. This involves physically demanding manual work, and workers often contend with oppressive workplace conditions. Processing of the feedstock into fuels offers far fewer jobs, but the ones created are higher skilled and they pay better.
Employment in the next-largest renewables sector, wind power, is estimated to run to some 834,000 jobs. Uncertainty about the future direction of policies in several countries weakened job creation in this field in 2013, leading to a sharp drop in new installations in the United States and to weak markets in large parts of Europe and in India. In contrast, developments in China and Canada were more positive.
Countries that are home to half of the world's population-China, members of the European Union, Brazil, the United States, and India-account for the bulk of renewable energy employment: 5.8 million direct and indirect (supply chain) jobs out of 6.5 million worldwide.
Better information is necessary for a range of countries to generate a more complete and accurate renewable energy employment picture. Attention is also needed on the question of whether development of renewable energy leads to job loss elsewhere, including in the conventional energy industries.
All in all, available information suggests that renewable energy has grown to become a significant source of jobs. Rising labor productivity notwithstanding, the job numbers are likely to grow in coming decades as the world's energy system shifts toward low-carbon sources.
Country Highlights from the Report:
- China is the largest employer in the renewable energy sector. The latest estimates by the country's National Renewable Energy Center suggest almost 1.6 million jobs in the solar PV industry in 2013. Other major sources of renewables employment provide close to 1 million jobs.
- European Union member states had more than 1.2 million renewable energy jobs in 2012. Even though Germany suffered some job losses in 2013, the country remains the dominant renewable energy employer in Europe, with about 371,000 jobs. Spain's renewables sector has been hit hard by economic crisis and a series of adverse government policy changes. The country suffered a net loss of 23,700 jobs between 2008 and 2012, or 17 percent.
- In Brazil, renewable energy is largely synonymous with sugarcane-based ethanol. A factor of rising importance is the growing mechanization of sugarcane harvesting, which has brought the number of direct jobs down from 460,000 in 2006 to 331,000 in 2012, even as ethanol processing jobs increased.
- In the United States, the number of wind and ethanol jobs has fluctuated, but solar employment has been rising fast. In the wind sector, the stop-and-go nature of the U.S. Production Tax Credit has affected employment, with the 92 percent drop in new wind installations during 2013 resulting in a decline from 80,700 jobs in 2012 to 50,500 jobs in 2013. U.S. ethanol employment fell in 2012 because of rising feedstock prices, reduced yields due to drought, and lower demand, although conditions improved and employment stabilized in 2013. Solar employment was close to 143,000 jobs in 2013, a gain of 20 percent.
- In most other countries, the number of renewable energy jobs is still limited, and often there is simply no reliable information at all.

How can the US justify tax breaks for Big Oil but play give and take with wind and solar industries that stymies growth? The growth of both renewable energies show significant growth and development when provided with the breaks and with zero emissions. The president's mandate to reduce power plant emissions by 30% is a positive step to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and enrich an industry with high playing, high-tech and blue collar jobs.
Personally, I'm amazed that renewables have continued to make steady progress despite extremely cheap natural gas. To MM's point, carbon-wise, we're actually well on the way to meeting carbon emissions reductions on the scale of Kyoto specs, even though we never signed the treaty. The markets work in mysterious ways...
American wind power is an American success story. By investing in wind power, we've attracted up to $75 billion into our national economy in the past 5 years. Wind farms provide economic benefits for surrounding communities through millions of dollars of added tax revenue, which can be used to upgrade critical infrastructure such as roads, schools, and emergency services. Wind power fosters economic development in all 50 states. In addition to supporting up to 85,000 jobs, creating a brand new domestic manufacturing sector, adding wind power helps stabilize consumers' electricity rates. New information from the Department of Energy shows ratepayers in states with the most wind energy have saved the most on their electric bills. By now powering enough power for 15.5 million average American homes, wind reduces 127 million tons of carbon pollution a year, the equivalent of reducing power sector emissions by more than 5 percent, or taking 20 million cars off the road. But wind power needs a stable policy environment to keep this success story going. By having stable policy in place, preliminary findings from the DOE shows wind could provide enough electricity for 10% of the U.S. energy needs by 2020, 20% by 2030, and become the number one source of electricity in the US by 2050 with 35%.

Book Description:
In 1950, after winning a scholarship from the government of Trinidad, V. S. Naipaul, aged seventeen, left home for the first time. Following a two-week journey by steamer, he arrived in Oxford, England, a world utterly removed from the one he had longed to escape and to which he would never really return. This extraordinary collection of letters gives us, as nothing published previously has, an intimate view of Naipaul's formative years. It is a story of family members oceans apart, clinging to one another against the sadness of dislocation and isolation: The young Naipaul, desperate not for a degree but to become a writer and make his way in the world. His beloved sister Kamla, anxious and bewildered, away at school in India. And his melancholy but loving father, whose own broken dream of succeeding as a writer would be realized in the singular achievement of his son. With the satisfactions of a novel, Between Father and Son portrays a deeply affecting family drama, even as it bears witness to the flowering of one of the great literary geniuses of the century.

Microsoft agrees to acquire Nokia's Devices & Services division, including the Lumia brand [UPDATED]Alex Wagner - Editorial Director of News and Content
Two years ago, Microsoft and Nokia came together to form a "strategic partnership" that saw Nokia adopt Windows Phone as its preferred smartphone platform. Fast-forward to today and the two companies have announced that they'll soon be getting even cozier.
Microsoft and Nokia announced tonight Microsoft has agreed to acquire Nokia's Devices & Services division, the part of the Finnish firm that's responsible for cranking out its Lumia line of Windows Phone hardware as well as the Asha line of handsets. The deal will see Microsoft pony up 3.79 billion Euros (~$5 billion USD) in order to purchase "substantially all" of Nokia's Devices & Services division and 1.65 billion Euros (~$2.2 billion USD) to license its patents. Microsoft also plans to license and use Nokia's mapping services.
The deal is subject to approval from the usual regulatory entities as well as Nokia's shareholders and its expected to close in the first quarter of 2014. Once the deal is done, Nokia expects that executives Stephen Elop, Jo Harlow, Juha Putkiranta, Timo Toikkanen, and Chris Weber will all make the move over to Microsoft. Stephen Elop has revealed that following the announcement of today's deal, he will leave his post as Nokia CEO to become Nokia Executive Vice President of Devices & Services. Risto Siilasmaa, chairman of Nokia's board of directors, has been named interim CEO.
Once its Devices & Services division is integrated into Microsoft, Nokia will be left with its NSN infrastructure business, HERE mapping and location services and Advanced Technologies, a group responsible for tech development and licensing. Nokia has agreed to grant Microsoft a 10-year non-exclusive license to its patent portfolio as well as a four-year license to its HERE platform. In exchange, Microsoft will grant Nokia rights to the HERE services.
Rumblings of a potential deal involving Microsoft and Nokia's Devices & Services arm surfaced back in June, but at the time it was said that the talks had hit a snag. It looks like the two companies were able to clear things up, though, and now they're coming together in a major mobile deal. Nokia has been by far the biggest player in Windows Phone for most of the platform's life, and while the WP8 is still lagging behind Android and iOS in terms of market share, it has been gaining a foothold in the global smartphone battle royale.
We'll have to wait and see exactly what kind of fruit this new relationship will bear, but with Nokia's Lumia hardware group joining a Microsoft that has quite a bit of cash and is responsible for the Surface tablets, it'll be interesting to see what these two firms come up with. Another thing to watch will be which Windows Phone manufacturers not named "Nokia" (like Samsung, HTC and Huawei) end up sticking with the platform now that Microsoft owns its biggest player. What do you think of this Microsoft-Nokia deal? Is it smart for Microsoft to acquire Nokia's hardware business?
UPDATE: Microsoft has posted a lengthy PowerPoint presentation explaining its rationale for acquiring Nokia's Devices & Services division. Among the many reasons given, Microsoft says that it can't allow Apple or Google to "foreclose app innovation, integration, distribution, or economics." The Redmond firm also believes that it needs a "first-rate Microsoft phone experience" for consumers and that success in phones will lead to success in tablets, which will then help out its PC business.
Looking forward, Microsoft is confident about the deal's odds of gaining approval, saying that it will help to create more competitive alternatives to Apple and Google and give consumers more choice. Microsoft also promises that it's committed to working with partners in both the Windows and Windows Phone platforms. A link to the full "Strategic Rationale" document can be found below.

Typo? | 8 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
The hint suggests this:
% sudo cp -Rp /Previous\ System/Previous\ System 1/System/ Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle /System/Library/ SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle
That "" at the end looks like a typo to me. Should the line be like this instead?
% sudo cp -Rp /Previous\ System/Previous\ System 1/System/ Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle /System/Library/ SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle
And while we're at it, we can clean up the linebreaks for easier copy & paste action with a well placed backslash:
% sudo cp -Rp \ /Previous\ System/Previous\ System 1\ /System/Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle \ /System/Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle
Does it look better / more accurate this way? The line-break as given here should, hopefully, make it much clearer what is being done by that line -- the /System/Library[...]Palm[...]bundle file is being copied out of the previous system directory (which, incidently, could have different names on different systems, depending on whether people have done other upgrades in the past) into the current /System directory tree.
Whitespace almost always makes it easier to see what's going on... :-)
Doh! The backslashes were in when I previewed it. This CMS takes HTML, chews it through a blender, and spits out something unrecognizeable, eh? Let me try that end code block again:
% sudo cp -Rp \ /Previous\ System/Previous\ System 1\ /System/Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle \ /System/Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle
If that gets mangled again, I'm putting a backslash character at the end of each of the first three lines, but not the last line. The first line has a space between the '-Rp' and the backslash (probably works either way, but clearer with the space), the second line does not have a space after the '1' and its backslash, and the third line does have a space after '.bundle' and before its backslash.
The spacing is significiant, particualrly in the second line, because you're forcing the shell to insert a linebreak & yet to ignore it, and I think the behavior of any whitespace before the backslash is undefined (i.e. it might be taken literally, and you'll get an error about a missing file).
Of course, if the slashes are all visible this time, then the previous disclaimer can be safely ignored :-)
When doing code in postings, I always COPY my whole message, hit the Preview button and if it looks good, PASTE back in what was written before the Preview. Then I post that. I find that on many sites the Preview step mangles things.

The icons on the tool bar located at the top of window are pretty self-explanatory. To add pages to the project, click "add pages." A window will pop up and offer you the options of different slides that can be added (for example a Chapter or a Page) To the right of that Icon, there are three icons about how the document is viewed. Choose the orientation of the page by clicking on the horizontal or vertical pages. This is the way that the slide will be seen on the iPad. You can also change how you are viewing the window with the different options when you click "view." The next five help you design the actual page. To create text on the page, click text box and click on the slide. A text box will be formed in the middle of the slide for you to move around. By clicking shapes, you can create a design on the page. These will be solid colored shapes, like a heart or rectangle. Click "shapes" and a menu will appear with a list of shapes to choose from. Pick one. Click on it. Then use your mouse to create the shape on the slide by clicking anywhere on the slide and dragging the mouse to fluctuate its size. By clicking Table you will be offered a pop up to input the dimensions of your table, then you can click and drag, like the shapes, to create its size. Click anywhere on the inside of the table to input the information. Like shapes, "charts" offers you an array of charts to choose from to best portray your information. A pop up window will appear for you to input the data used in the chart. Widgets are interactive media boxes that can be put into the publication. For example, click photo gallery. It will appear on your slide for you to place and resize. Then drag photos on top of it. To preview what you have created you must connect an iPad to the computer and click the Preview button.

Please see link in signature
Viewers (in the UK) are required to be in possession of a TV licence for viewing programmes as they are being broadcast. It is not our job to police such issues, neither do we hold any personal information that would enable anyone else to do so.

Ok thanks, This website is great though but I guess I cant use it cos I cant afford to pay for tv license. I recently got a letter from tv license at uni and they are saying I would need a tv license to watch live tv or record from live tv.
Well, as I understand, if your family at your normal place of residence has a tv licence and you're watching on a device which works on self contained batteries (e.g. a latop) then your home licence could well over you
What does your licence allow?
The licence allows installation and use of TV equipment:
at the licensed premises by anyone.
in a vehicle, boat or caravan by:
You and anyone who normally lives with You at the licensed place (so long as TV equipment is not being used in a non-touring caravan and at the licensed place at the same time).
anyone, who normally works at the licensed place (so long as the vehicle, boat or caravan is being used for a business purpose).
Use of TV equipment powered by internal batteries anywhere:
by You and anyone who normally lives with You at the licensed place.

well there is a section on the tv license website that says if you are watching tv on a laptop would require me to have a tv license. My parents at home already have a tv license so does this means I can watch tv on my laptop?
Well, it all comes down to whether you feel you can reasonably argue that you normally live with your parents at the licensed premises. I believe it comes down to several things, including what address is shown as being your home on the electoral register.
Been a little while since I was in halls, but I remember a fellow law student sucessfully arguing that the television set he had been watching was the property of another student (who had a licence) who had temporarily brought his set into his room to watch because the signal was better! The TV licensing people dropped the case rather promptly, presumably because they didn't want this defence to beome published.
Personally I would have thought it rather hard for anyone to prove that anyone else was viewing TV on a laptop.
Presumably you could record TV using a freely available program such as Orbit Downloader on your laptop in the room of a licensed friend, then play it back legally in your own room? As you only require a licence to watch TV as it is being broadcast, you should be OK
Best bet is to save up or beg parents. Christmas is coming, usually plenty of opportunity to get a job as a casual postal worker. The threat of that usually persuades parents to chip in if they can afford to.

Thanks for the advice Daniel. Hmmm I also got a letter at uni threatening me with a fine of £1000 if I don't have my details registered for election purposes at the new town I am now staying. I'm not sure but I think I might be already registered under the electoral with my home in london. There is no way I am going to pay for TV license. I do have a TV but never use it for watchin or recording live TV. I just use it for gaming and DVDs. I dont think they can prove that I watch TV on my laptop if the TV on my laptop is streamed so I just have to be careful. I dont stream live TV though but Hmm sometimes maybe I want to watch TV which I rarely have the time to watch.
Not advice, just thoughts. Obviously the decision is yours to take, you have to weigh up the risks and the consequences for yourself I'm afraid.
On the TV issue, if you have one that is even capable of watching a live broadcast, that is sufficient to justify prosecution, so take care

There is one thing I find interesting about this, considering this is being streamed over the net. The tools the people use to monitor "non-tv license holders" will be redundant, as we're not recieveing these signals wirelessly or through their own medium.
So yeah, a TV license may be required, but so would a new toolset to see where these are being watched from.
Does the uni not have a licence,
If your living at the uni campus in a kind of dorm or something or whatever they call it now Then they will have a licence,
Best thing to do is go and ask to see if they do have one, That must surly cover it?

"The Show," the lead single from Lenka's debut, cracked the Top 40 in several countries, including the U.K, Switzerland, and Poland (where it climbed to number one). Meanwhile, Lenka became engaged to James Gulliver Hancock, the visual artist behind several of her music videos, and spent most of the following year touring the world. Her engagement figured heavily on her second album, Two, a collection of pop tunes and winsome love songs that appeared in early 2011. Lenka returned in 2013 with Shadows, an orchestral pop album inspired by the birth of her son. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

text: Flora on a desert Desert Street, Albuquerque, NM Staphylococcus Aureus, the flora Inside of Someone's Stomach I see a parallel between non-native, water-loving flora (trees, flowers, lawns) people try to get to grow in the desert that don't usually fare well, and the flora in our guts, subjected to all kinds of non-native and harsh conditions (from antibiotics to chemicals in food, high fructose corn syrup, etc.). Poor gut health is now linked to autoimmune disease in humans. The trees in droughty, sun-speared Albuquerque never grow very tall. The topmost branches, in fact, are often entirely dead so you have low-growing, droopy-leafed things with dead branches poking out up top like a wooden crown gone mad. The tree is water-deprived and its roots grow in nutritionless soil. I never knew to pay attention to my mild GI symptoms until I got hit with the whopper of all illnesses three years ago — and have not yet recovered. In a healthy gut there are: 1-200 different species of bacteria per person 1-2000 different species of human gut bacteria 1 million different genes among the different bacteria An unhealthy gut comes about when these bacteria are depleted and the variety limited. We are hell bent on destroying many ecosystems, it seems, including those on our own bodies. kaitquetal likes thishorrificusamericana posted this

FRIDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) A romantic relationship can change when one partner slims down, and not always in a good way, new research suggests.
"Losing weight can affect your relationship negatively," said Lynsey Romo, an assistant professor of communication at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh.
In her study of 21 couples in which one partner had lost an average of 60 pounds in two years or less, she found the relationships usually changed for the better. That may have been due to the partner who lost weight inspiring the other to do the same, or to the partner supporting the one who lost the weight.
However, Romo also found what she calls ''the dark side of weight loss." Some partners watched their partner getting slimmer and felt threatened or jealous, she explained.
Others, including some who didn't need to lose weight, weren't happy that they felt they were somehow losing their ''role'' of the healthy partner. Other partners felt nagged by their suddenly healthy partner who was losing and wanted them to follow suit.
The study was published online recently in the journal Health Communication.
The couples, with an average age of 38 but ranging in age from 20 to 61, answered questions separately online after the partner had lost the weight. Participants lost in a number of ways, including diet and exercise or bariatric surgery.
Both partners told how they felt the weight loss affected their interactions. The best scenario Romo found was one in which both partners bought into the idea of making healthy lifestyle changes and supported the other partner trying to lose weight. Those couples appeared to get closer, she found.
They reported their interactions were more positive and they felt closer, both physically and emotionally.
However, when a partner who didn't lose weight was not supportive or resisted the household changes in diet or exercise routines, the effect was negative.
While the partners who were losing weight were often cited by the other as a role model, sometimes they became naggers. One woman who lose 30 pounds and became very fit said she would sometimes nag her husband, who had gained weight over the years, to do the same. She felt he wasn't trying as hard as she was to stay attractive for each other.
The new findings tie in to some research done by Charlotte Markey, an associate professor and chair of psychology at Rutgers University, who reviewed the findings.
In a relationship, she has found, ''partners compare their own bodies to their partner's." So it makes sense that Romo found when one partner lost weight, the other partner often took stock, so to speak.
Suppose a man loses weight, and his wife may need to but isn't, Markey said. "That may make the woman feel inadequate," she explained.
"We fall into these patterns with people we have relationships with," she said. "When these patterns shift, it can be unsettling."
Advice for couples in which one partner is about to lose weight? "It's important to talk to your partner ahead of time," Romo said. The goal is to get the other person on board -- if not to lose weight, to support the partner who is trying to do so, she said.
Markey agreed that communication is key. "Talk about it before and keep talking about it," she said. For example, if a husband is losing weight while the wife also needs to but isn't, and the woman feels inadequate, she should simply tell him so, Markey said. "Hopefully the partner will say 'Well, you shouldn't.'''
"Make it a team effort," Markey said. "Almost everyone can afford to eat healthier and exercise more."

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady left practice early today, because of an apparent knee injury. There has been no reports as to how serious this injury is, and for now, it is just a waiting game.
According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, Brady's left leg was rolled up on by left tackle Nate Solder, who was being driven back by Adrian Clayborn during an 11 on 11 drill. Brady walked to the sidelines under his own power before returning after missing only one play. Brady remained on the field for another five snaps before retreating to the sidelines again, before he left the practice field altogether.
He did jog off the field under his own power, there has been no official word as to the significance of the injury, and knowing the Patriots, we may not know for a little while.
Brady's injured the same knee in the 2008 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he tore his ACL and MCL which caused him to miss the rest of that season.
Patriots president Jonathan Kraft commented on Brady's injury while he was on 98.5 Sports Hub, saying, "I don't believe it's serious but I do not know".
Footage of the injury was captured by a fan, which can be viewed here.

This cave painting is based on a real cave, but it's been a while since I painted it and I can't remember which caves! My other cave painting is completely made up, however. I would love to go to the Goblin Valley cave and the park in general.

HEROES OF YORK; Sharpo (Nunthorpe Stakes 1980-82).Nunthorpe Stakes The Nunthorpe Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres) at York Racecourse during the Ebor Festival meeting in August. earned five-year-old Sharpo a permanent place in racing's record books for he was only the second horse in the race's history to win it three times.
The first to achieve the feat was a grey named Tag End, who won the race in 1928-30 and although he never had more than four rivals on the Knavesmire in a race that was in its fledgling stage, he was a smart and durable sprinter who won a total of 20 races, the last as a nine-year-old.
Until 1921 the Nunthorpe was a seller! Sixty years later, when for a few years it was rebranded as the William Hill The name William Hill may refer to the following: People
- William Hill (Australian politician) (1866-1939), a long serving member of the Australian House of Representatives.
annual horserace, occasion for great fashionable turnout. [Br. Cult.: Brewer Dictionary, 49]
See : Fashion
Royal Ascot
England's fashionable annual event. [Br. Cult. .
It was appropriate that in 1982 the year's sprint champion should win the Sprint Championship, as that season Sharpo was some way ahead of his rivals. He proved his case by scooting home at York, the last leg of a big sprint treble.
Sharpo's early life makes interesting reading. He was trained by Jeremy Tree, who bought him for 10,000gns as a yearling for his long-established owner Monica Sheriffe, who enjoyed notable success even though she rarely had more than two in training at one time. He ran only once as a two-year-old, finishing down the field after knocking himself leaving the stalls in a Newbury maiden in September.
His next scheduled appearance was at Tattersalls sales in Newmarket that autumn, but a hind-leg injury suffered at Newbury meant he was unable to be sold and luckily for his owner he remained with Tree at Beckhampton.
Clearly, after his injury healed he was sparkling at home, as his first run as a three-year-old was in the Temple Stakes The Temple Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 5 furlongs and 6 yards (1,011 metres) at Sandown Park Racecourse in late May. , which was then run at Sandown. It was a tough call for a once-raced three-year-old to be taking on established sprinters, but he proved well up to the task and in the space of a minute established himself as a top-class 5f performer.
After defeats in the Cork and Orrery and July Cup The July Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) on the July Course at Newmarket Racecourse in early July. It was first run in 1876. , both over 6f, Sharpo won the first of his three Nunthorpes with an easy two-anda-half-length success over the Palace House winner Valeriga.
When Sharpo ran in the Nunthorpe the following year he was almost ignored by the pundits. He'd won in France earlier in the season but ran a shocker on fast ground in the King's Stand and looked to have plenty on his plate as he was coming up against the two best sprinters that season, Moorestyle and Marwell.
He was sent off at 14-1, but there was one factor so many overlooked: rain. On soft ground when on song Sharpo had few peers, and he duly strode clear to win his second Sprint Championship by two and a half lengths from Marwell with Moorestyle back in third.
Even so he wasn't acclaimed the sprinter of the year. He had to wait another year, after Moorestyle and Marwell had moved on to pastures new, for that accolade. Although he was the darling of York, with his three Nunthorpe wins, he wasn't the darling of punters as a whole. Even when he had conditions in his favour he could run the odd stinker - usually when he was odds-on.

The BO government has been infiltrated by Islamists --by invitation.This would explain BO & Co., Inc.´s anemic response to the threats we continue to face, and the new increasingly grisly ones.From the outset, in 2009, all the "risk assessments" were regarding domestic radical groups which the BO admin identified as those on the political "right" and later also includes TEA Party groups andconservatives.They see threats as from anyone they consider POLITICAL enemies who might get in their way. They don´t assess potential muslim extremists as political threats.It is hard to comprehend exactly what is going on behind White House doors, amongst the czars, amongst the leftist advisers and hangers-on.Now the Brits are calling radical Islam a "poisonous ideology" and worse than anything we have seen.IF journalists had been fulfilling their constitutionally mandated obligations of holding ALL politicians to account, we may never have had BO even the first time. woe.

FTA: On black separatists, the report warned that "high-profile racially charged crimes or events" could lead to an expansion of black separatist groups. The report identified three such groups as the New Black Panther Party, the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, and the Black Hebrew Israelite group as extremists under FBI scrutiny.An alternative assessment section in the report warned that radical black activists could "reinitiate violence at the historically high levels seen for the movement during the 1970s...If that doesn´t terrify you nothing will. Instead of taking these threats seriously, Obama and Holder instead encourage and foment this hate. The radical Muslims terrify me, but this part of the report is equally as disturbing because of the threat and desire for many of those in the black population to become radical Muslim terrorists. What would you call the Black Panthers?? Of course if you monitor any of them you will be called a racist. For a former FBI agent to say the FBI is ´absolutely clueless´ tells us we are no longer safe in our own country.

This entry under
is being edit warred over:
A few weapons resemble
Cave Story
guns: The Splintergun's fire looks like the one of a Level 2 bubbler an Spread Rockets mimic the Level 3 missile launcher.
Please use this page to discuss whether it's really an example and don't add it back again in the meantime.
03:04:11 AM Mar 2nd 2014
That is a
Zero-Context Example
- it needs to go into some detail, at least. So I motion to keep it off the page.
03:42:30 AM Mar 2nd 2014
edited by 220.127.116.11
My position (as the one who originally removed it) is that they are not identical and not unique enough to be clearly references (the lvl2 Bubbler in Cave Story is just a standard autofire machinegun weapon with bubbles as shots, whereas the Splintergun's gimmick is that its shots explode; the Spread Rockets actually spread out unlike the lvl3 Missiles in Cave Story, and "a multi-rocket attack" is absurdly common and not connected to these games in particular) so unless there is some statement from Remar that they are indeed connected, it would just seem to be somebody's overactive imagination connecting two famous freeware platformers.
I went to three edits because I thought this was obvious and could be concisely dealt with without the bother of a discussion; if EKonoMai had gone to three reverts as well I'd have brought this up myself. Oh, well.

Any idea of why this happenned?:
"Please do not ask me to put Iji on XBLA,
etc. This is technically and legally impossible. Do not ask to publish or otherwise sell my freeware games."
Can we have some details into this?

I remember he said it somewhere, but I don't remember where. I think the bottom line of the technical part is "there is no Game Maker engine there so I'd have to recode it from scratch for the destination platform"
07:23:19 AM Feb 17th 2012
And on the legal part? I was under the impression that Cave Story was ALSO made in Game Maker and end up in the WII
08:37:50 AM Feb 17th 2012
No, Cave Story was coded from scratch in C++.
06:40:43 PM May 6th 2012
It could be that some of the resources are things he doesn't have ownership or copyright of, like the cover of "Further" used in the credits.
08:31:40 AM May 31st 2012
He's stated in a forum post (that I can't find right now) that all the music, voice acting, etc. was done by friends and people he knows, for free. He promised them all that he wouldn't make any money off of it. So, it would be a huge hassle trying to contact all of those people and get their permission to sell it, not to mention the licensing issues, trying to figure out how much of the money goes to each person, etc.

We've now got a duplication going on regarding the Iji MSPFA. There's two entries for it - one in Fan Fic Recommendations and one in Webcomics/Iji.
It seems kind of sloppy to have both pages. I think we should delete the Webcomics/Iji one, since:
1) it's possible there may be more Iji fanfics out there that we haven't found or made yet
2) the MSPFA isn't an official adaptation of Iji to webcomic format by the author.
10:05:30 AM May 21st 2011
I don't see a problem. The Fanfic Recommendations is for links to fanfics, while the page is for tropes it uses.

This still keeps cropping up:
Les Yay: The Journal Writer is very hot for Iji, and if Iosa kills her, Iji assimilates her nanofield to keep a part of her warm forever.
There's no evidence that the Journal Writer is hot for Iji. In Sector 4 there's a logbook written by Scout
:IFOP expressing a crush on Iji, but he/she is not the Journal Writer (they have different ranks and callsigns). It's also not necessarily Les Yay, since Scout
's gender is unknown, so I'm cutting this entry altogether. (The part about keeping part of the Journal Writer's nanofield warm is already mentioned elsewhere on the page anyway.)

A FREE CD Release party for Santa Fe's global music explorers with special guests and friends as they celebrate the release of their new CD "The Goat."
Red Shield Music has announced dates for the spring and summer tour of Santa Fe-based duo Round Mountain in support of their fourth studio album The Goat, releasing onJuly 2nd, 2013. The highly-anticipated album follows the band's 2009 full-length Windward and showcases their unique sound that has been spanning alt-folk and world genres since 2002. The Goat features many guest musicians including Anais Mitchell, Moira Smiley, Brass Menažeri and folk legend Andy Irvine. Round Mountain's tour will include a stop at home in Santa Fe onSunday, May 19th at the Railyard Plaza. The duo will have advance copies of their new album available at the concert for purchase.
Sunday, May 19th @ The Railyard Plaza
Downtown Santa Fe, NM
Show 4:00pm | All Ages | Free
Directions: http://www.railyardpark.org/
After years of global travel and immersion in Appalachian, Celtic, West African, Balkan and Middle-Eastern music, brothers Char and Robby Rothschild bring listeners to a place of musical grounding and connection. On The Goat and on stage, Char Rothschild sings and plays accordion, guitar or dobro, together with trumpet or Bulgarian gaida, and highland bagpipes. Robby Rothschild sings and plays percussion, notably the West African djembe and Peruvian cajon. He also plays the West African harp known as the kora, and the Irish bouzouki.
The Goat was mostly recorded at Frogville Studios in Santa Fe, New Mexico and was mixed and co-produced by Char and Robby Rothschild, composer/musician Michael Chorney, and the album's main engineer Bill Palmer. Jon Gagan at Electric Company, Pete Solomon at Bear Creek, and Myles Boissen at Guerrilla Recording also assisted in engineering The Goat, and it was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music.
Since their last release, Round Mountain has achieved a new height of confidence and maturity. "I feel we've become more relaxed about letting what's imperfect shine out," says Robby. "We've found a balance between our dreams and the actual grit of pursuing them," adds Char. The new album centers around the image of a goat, which represents an older, simpler way of life, and aims to honor the animals that have provided the brothers with inspiration, stories and instruments (the djembe, kora and gaida all employ goat skin). The love and respect even continues at home, where Robby's family keeps Nigerian Dwarf milk goats.

This package of Doritos contains Doritos and yet, is so much more.
Grocery Growth Ray To Hit Ketchup, Chips
A grocery growth ray is set to hit a popular condiment and several kinds of baked corn with names ending "tos." To push the brands as being good values, Heinz will be selling slightly larger ketchup bottles, and Frito-Lay is adding 20% to Tostitos, Fritos, Cheetos and Doritos – without raising the price. Unlike the grocery shrink ray, you can bet this change will be loudly trumpeted on the package.
These Doritos Are Going To Last A While
Hey guys — Just wanted to let you know that with all of this grocery shrink ray action that is going on, it is nice to see some companies doing something to make their product last a little longer.

Mayte Prida is a nationally renowned television host, author, and one of the most prominent Hispanic advocates for women and health issues in the country today.
Mayte is a breast cancer survivor just like thousands of women all over the world. Here she offers her personal story and own struggles with our health care system and offers a compelling statement in support of health care reform.
Born and raised in Mexico City , Mayte began her career in local and national news, and went on to host and produce "America", a national Univision program. Most recently, she was hosting Entre Amigas as part of the national Telemundo show Cada Dia.
In 2001 adversity struck Mayte as she was diagnosed with breast cancer in an advanced stage. She wrote her ordeal in her first book "A Difficult Journey, My Battle with Cancer," and documented her first year fighting the disease with the hopes of helping other women affected by cancer.
Mayte has been invited to the Capitol Hill to speak on behalf of the Health Disparities Bill and is currently involved in the creation of several initiatives that will improve the medical and health issues of Hispanics in this country.
