Bringing Out The Dead
Nicholas Cage plays a despairing paramedic buckling under the pressure of attending casualties in Hell's Kitchen, dragged further into hell by a succession of manic partners, but possibly saved by an ex-junkie whose dad is dying from a heart attack.
For his 18th feature film as director, Martin Scorsese has gone back to his roots. After dilly dalai-ing with Eastern spirituality in Kundun, the world's most vital film director has returned to New York, damaged heroes and the filmmaking fireworks that got the world excited about the man in the first place. And if Bringing Out The Dead is not vintage Scorsese, it's still an original, blistering slice of virtuoso moviemaking.
Riding shotgun with old writing cohort Schrader, Scorsese's adaptation of Joe Connelly's novel fairly fizzes on kinetic energy as it follows haunted paramedic Frank Pierce (Cage, reining in the histrionics) through three nights and two days working for New York's Emergency Medical Service. As Pierce and partners - food obsessed Larry (Goodman), bible bashing soul brother Marcus (an electric Rhames) and borderline psycho Tom (a terrifically manic Sizemore - revive cardiac arrests, bring overdosers back from the brink and attend a virgin birth (kind of), Scorsese's breathless directorial mastery is at full tilt: finding fantastic variety in a film rooted around the exteriors/interiors of an ambulance, we are treated to an onslaught of breakneck pans, funky framing, crackerfire editing and perfectly deployed music that tangibly articulates the in-your-face brutality and adrenaline rush of the graveyard shift.
By comparison, the less successful daytime sequences are eerily sedate yet unmoving as Pierce hooks up with Mary Burke (Arquette), the daughter of one of Pierce's patients, whose withdrawn drug dependent life mirrors his own. In the latter stages, as Pierce seeks solace in narcotics, Scorsese goes into overdrive - speeded-up imagery, spectres emerging from the streets - underlining his unparalleled genius at depicting troubled psychosis through searing visuals.
This could all be unrelentingly unwatchable, but it isn't. In fact, it is the funniest Scorsese movie since After Hours, plying a nifty trade in pitch-black humour: be it Pierce begging his boss to fire him or the cracking dialogue exchanged en route to accidents. But far from being insensitive, it is abundantly clear that their caustic worldview preserves the paramedics' sanity. With its plotline of a troubled loner cruising NY's streets in a metal box, Dead strongly echoes Taxi Driver. It may never attain the feverish intensity and staying power of the earlier film, but a slightly off colour Scorsese is better than 98 per cent of most directors firing on all cylinders.
An exciting, invigorating return to old preoccupations. Welcome home, Marty.

Taking place over the course of 3 nights in the life of an insomnia suffering paramedic, this picture takes Scorcese back into the nitty gritty New York pictures that he made his name with, though this has lead to an unfair comparision with Taxi Driver (Both films being of course written by Paul Schrader) in which this piece would look substandard. However this picture has a lot to recommend about it. For one New York is suitable caputured thanks to the beautiful cinematorgraphy of Robert Ri... More

I decided to create this very easy and simple tutorial to demonstrate an easier way (at least for me) of creating this flower rather than doing the petal by petal process and the outcome is just as stunning. Enjoy!

So I came home from school a few days ago and found this on one of the cabinets in my house.
See about three years ago my parents decided to go on a big push to get healthy. At the time we were all really overweight, it was a good idea. Our motto became "Eat less. Exercise more." This was reasonable, because we often had thirds in every meal, and I couldn't run to my mail box without getting out of breath.
Since that time between the four members of my family we've lost a hundred and sixty pounds. I am muscled, curvy, and a weight I love. I exercise four days a week, usually boxing early in the morning before school. Usually in the course of a day I'll eat two pieces of toast, a sandwich and a fruit, and a small piece of meet with a couple vegetables.
My parents are not impressed. At one time, they always repeated to me "healthy at any weight", but now it has turned not to being healthy to be healthy, but lose weight lose weight lose weight.
My eleven year old sister and I have started working with each other to sneak food into our rooms that they won't notice we've taken.
The other day, I didn't wake up at five before school to work out, and my dad yelled at me, making me promise to work out an extra day that week.
My dad picks apart my lunch in the morning. Recently, they started giving me only half a sandwich.
A few days ago, my sister went to get a cheese stick after school, and my mother told her that if she ate it, it would be her entire dinner. My sister ate it, and didn't get dinner.
My parents told me I need to get a personal trainer so I can "improve faster".
My family has a history of eating disorders, and everyday my family seems more and more anorexic. I'm scared for both myself and my younger sister. Both of us try to not eat, because we get approval from our parents for being "more healthy".
I've stopped eating lunch, trying to loose weight so that they will be nicer to me.
I don't think my parents realize that they're fostering eating disorders, but the other day I tried to make myself puke, because they treat food like poison.
I was wondering if you could reblog this if you think this sounds unhealthy, because I keep trying to talk myself out of thinking that it is.

UPDATED — Scott Cosentino is closing his Oliver's Little Italy on Saturday.
He says the restaurant at 1930 S. Oliver, which opened in late September, was in a bad location, had no money, no point of sale system and not very good help.
"Shall I continue?" he says.
Cosentino, a New Jersey native, hopes to open another restaurant soon with a financial backer. He says this time it may be in Wellington or Park City.
He says the one issue Oliver's Little Italy didn't have was a problem with the food, which Cosentino says he'll prove once again when he reopens.
"I would show all of the restaurants of the town how to make good Italian food, because they don't know."

Somerset, NY (WKBW) The Verizon Data Center, a proposed project in Somerset, N.Y., would turn a plot of land in Northern Niagara County into a high tech hub. It is a multi-billion dollar venture, with the potential of millions of dollars coming into the local community.
Wednesday, Verizon took one more step forward towards coming to Somerset. The industrial development agency for the project held a public meeting regarding the big build.
"This is a huge event not only for Somerset and Niagara County, but for all of Western New York," Henry Sloma of the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency said. "We're trying to get public input, and what we've heard here is generally a positive tone."
The main concern at Wednesday's meeting was whether local construction firms will be hired to build the data center.
Somerset resident Tony Porter spoke at the meeting. "I'm just advocating fair contracting for everybody. Everyone should benefit from 500 million dollars in construction work," he said.
The other question was about who's paying for the project. Sloma quickly answered that. "The funding is coming from Verizon. It's a private venture. It's all their money," he said.
The communications company will be investing a lot, about $1.2 billon, creating 500 construction jobs and 200 Verizon jobs. Company representatives were at the meeting, hearing public input.
"We're here just to observe and see what the community is saying, and we've been very pleased. They've been very embracing and we think that it's moving along very nicely," Maureen Rasp-Glose of Verizon said after the meeting.
Verizon has not made its final decision yet on whether to build in Western New York, but the company representative said Somerset is on the short list to land the data center. She added that Verizon is debating between the Niagara County town and another state to build. But the chairman of the development agency was still very confident, saying he hopes to start construction on the project this year.

text: Briefly Noted April 30, 2012 Issue Perla by Carolina De Robertis (Knopf) Table of Contents In this haunting second novel, Perla, a privileged Argentinean student, shoulders the legacy of the period in which tens of thousands were "disappeared" by the Argentinean military dictatorship. Struggling to balance her love for her father, a Navy officer, with the knowledge that he was complicit in horrific acts, Perla comes of age feeling that she is "guilty by inheritance." When her parents go away on vacation, a mysterious stranger appears on the living-room floor, naked and reeking of the sea. His inexplicable, ghostly presence fills her with uneasy questions. Where has he come from? Why has he come to her, of all people? A sensitive exploration of love, loyalty, and hope in the wake of atrocity, the novel moves back and forth between the visitor's memories of his life and afterlife and Perla's recollection of her troubled past, ultimately building to a difficult but liberating revelation about the true nature of their connection. ♦ You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

chance of bowl: 13.6%
tim beckman's terrible horrible no good very bad habit
Unverified Voracity Is Wearing Grandpa's Jacket
Pelini forever. The day that Bo Pelini ceases being a Big Ten coach is going to be a sad one.
He screams like a lunatic, he makes jokes about his cat, he wears… that… and looks like he believes the camera is taking a piece of his soul with it. Joke's on you, camera! Ain't got no soul, he thinks. Oh and his offense is kind of a looney tunes spread triple option thing that is both modern and very Nebraska. I only wish he was still in our football conference.
Always the best thing out of media days. Mike Spath's anonymous chatter articles are quality as always and the defense one is free. An opponent on the tao of Countess:
"I thought Blake Countess was tough to play against. He's not real physical but he's one of those guys that knows what he does well and what he doesn't. And he sort of lulled us to sleep. We kept thinking that we could go at him and I think that's what he wanted because he stepped in front of two balls, picked one, and we didn't throw at him very much after that."
Countess had INTs against Minnesota, Iowa, and OSU last year, FWIW. The offense is paywalled, but I have to quote this bit:
"They were one of those teams that were tough to prepare for and not tough at the same time because they did so many different things. We had a lot of guys watching a lot more film the week before because they could run 75 different plays in the same game, but I think what stood out was that they didn't have an identity and they never had go-to plays so if you just played sound, technique-strong football, you were OK."
And that had a lot to do with Michigan's ups and downs. OSU did not play anything approximating sound football in their secondary last year and Michigan ate them up; Iowa is nothing but sound cover two and Michigan could do nothing.
The overall theme of that latter one is that opposing teams have a hell of a lot of respect for Devin Gardner since he did not die last year.
You could knock me down with a feather right now. Shock and alarm at unexpected news:
"Going in (to camp, there will be competition between Devin Gardner and Shane Morris)," Hoke said during his appearance on "Numbers Never Lie." "We've got great competition. (But) if we opened the season today, Devin would start for the Wolverines."
I will personally fight anyone* who sends me an email about whether Morris should start.
*[Offer not valid unless you are Ellen Degeneres.]
Ready to go. Ondre Pipkins is cleared and even more importantly, is apparently fit.
"He's done a nice job, he's made a lot of progress and he's passed the conditioning test and all those things," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said this week. "We'll probably be smart with him as we move forward, you know, especially on two-a-days.
"We'll (watch his) reps and those things. But he's cleared and ready to go."
Figuratively and literally massive for the defense. Article notes that Willie Henry is slated to compete with Pipkins at nose, but I'm hoping they figure out that they can start both those guys. We'll see.
'96 Colorado. I missed this game; remember sitting in a car listening to the end of it just terrified about the Hail Mary.
Well, no. No we do not. Hoke on the opener:
Brady Hoke says he gets some grief from alumni about having App State on the schedule. No one wants to see those highlights, he says
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) July 31, 2014
He didn't do it.
LEMON UPDATE. Aw man I am going to have to find like a video crew and a roaring fireplace.
Junior linebacker Joe Bolden was named the 2014 Meyer Morton Award winner. The Morton Award is given to the player who "shows the greatest development and most promise as a result of the annual spring practice."
Jarrod Wilson and Chris Wormley also pulled in awards.
The plan. After experimenting with Graham Glasgow at tackle it seems like Michigan is going to leave him at center:
When fall camp opens Sunday, though, Hoke says Glasgow -- who is suspended for the season-opener against Appalachian State due to an offseason drunken driving arrest -- will begin where he ended last year. At center, and likely with the first team.
"I would say he could (be with the starters at center) early in camp but then you've got to develop others," Hoke said this week at Big Ten media days in Chicago. "This is why, when you make decisions that don't help the team, you find out how you hurt the team."
If Glasgow does move that says more about Ben Braden than anyone else. That is an outcome I don't want to see, as that would be a major strike against a player who was hyped up as a physical marvel by many people a year ago.
It also sounds like the current plan is to leave Cole at left tackle for this year to provide a backup there. Tuley-Tillman and Fox are both likely to need another year before putting them on the field would be anything other than a major problem.
The rehab. Ondre Pipkins is cleared to practice at the start of fall camp
It could be worse, everyone! Man, Illinois fans are grasping at straws:
Tim Beckman came into this morning's press conference after a long bowl game-less winter and a 4-8 season record with only one conference win. But something was noticeably different about his speech this time. He finally seemed comfortable and confident at the podium.
… he hardly pauses or stumbles for the right words. His "uhs" and "ums" are fewer and farther between than in the past. He came off as a true leader and respectable speaker.
Well, I know that our coach starts every sentence with "well" and is not exactly Steve Spurrier. But there's going to be a post this year on an Illinois blog that says "we may have lost by sixty points but it seems like Tim Beckmann's dressing himself these days, so things are really coming along for us."
Unfortunate for Northwestern. Projected starting corner Daniel Jones is forced to retire thanks to injuries. Corner being the Wildcats' achilles heel since it ceased being "the whole team," that bodes unwell for the Wildcats and better for Michigan. Jones was lost for the year in the opener, so this is more Northwestern not getting that guy back than anything else.
The Daily makes the Daily show. You gotta put it in your click hole, nerds.
The most correct thing. This isn't relevant to anything but it is the most correct thing that's ever been said:
I spent five days in Las Vegas by myself earlier this month. If that sounds like your idea of paradise, let me stop you right there, because you're wrong. Even though I know nothing about you, I'm fairly certain that five days alone in Vegas is enough to make anybody rethink their life. Five days in Vegas with friends or family is still probably four days too many, but being alone in Vegas is like finding out halfway through a party that you were invited by mistake. Everyone is having the time of their lives around you, and even though you were excited when you arrived, you're just off to the side wondering what you're doing there.
As someone who spent a week in Vegas by myself*, this is so accurate. I eventually just spent the money for wifi (this was back when wifi still cost money at hotels) and sat in my hotel room because being alone by yourself is so much more tolerable than being alone around everyone. Vegas by yourself: horrible.
The rest of this article is an entertaining Mark Titus piece on attending an NBA scout "school" and finding out just how horrible that job is. So it's sports! On topic! (Not on topic.)
*[Qualified for the WSOP during the heyday of online poker and couldn't hector any of my friends into railbirding me. WSOP was very large that year so there were four separate Day 1s for a quarter of the field and two Day 2s.]

The John Bacon Q&A: College Football At A Crossroads
Hey kids. John's answered your questions in an extensive post below. I know his points hit close to home as we approach the last time Michigan Stadium will host Notre Dame for the foreseeable future. The book is Fourth and Long, and it's available now.
See also: John fields questions from MVictors and talks with the PostGame. Also he was on Olbermann!
Is there a way of putting the genie back in the bottle, or have the aggressive, business-oriented strategies of highlighted in the book (and there are MANY instances therein) put Michigan on an irreversible, faulty trajectory?
[My question is in his estimation, where is that "tipping point" for Michigan, and what happens when we reach it?]
Great question, and one I've examined from as many angles as possible for this book. Really, for Michigan fans – and fans of college football generally – it is the central question.
Michigan happens to make a great case study, on two fronts: the loyalty of its fans, and the department's profitably, both of which are virtually unequaled in college football.
First, the good news, from the book:
"Brandon's style might not please everyone he deals with, but he delivers what he promises. Under Brandon, the department increased its operating surplus to $15.3 million in fiscal year 2012, 72 percent higher than the previous fiscal year. In 2012, the Michigan football team alone generated $61.6 million in profits, second only to the University of Texas, which has the considerable advantage of its exclusive twenty-year, $300 million TV deal with ESPN.
Brandon has delivered more than dollars, too. After hiring Brady Hoke in 2011, the Michigan football team beat Notre Dame on the last play of the Big House's first night game, defeated Ohio State for the first time since 2003, and won a thrilling overtime game over eleventh-ranked Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl, Michigan's first BCS bowl victory since a young man named Tom Brady beat Alabama in the January 1, 2000, Orange Bowl.
In the 2011–12 school year, the hockey team earned a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament; the men's basketball team won a share of its first Big Ten title since 1986; and the following fall, Michigan's other twenty-nine sports combined to run a close second behind Stanford, and ahead of such perennial all-sport powers as Texas and UCLA, in the Directors' Cup, which Michigan has never won.
If the Michigan athletic department had issued a 2012 annual report to its shareholders, it would have been the shiniest publication in college sports, packed with enough good news to make the competition envious. By those measures, its creator could be considered an all-American athletic director.
The Wolverines are not alone in spending millions, of course, engaged as they are in an arms race with the Buckeyes and the Southeastern Conference that shows no signs of slowing down. In Brandon's speeches to alumni clubs, service groups, and the press, he has been unabashed in laying out a simple equation: if you want titles, this is what it takes.
But it can come with some unexpected prices."
One of them, of course, was the initial decision to leave the Marching Band in Ann Arbor for the Alabama game in Dallas – about which former band director Scott Boerma was willing to clarify several misconceptions in our interviews.
But the bigger price might be the disaffection of thousands of loyal fans, some of whom have dropped their tickets. At Michigan, as of this writing, those numbers don't seem to be too great, and the Big House still attracts over 100,000 passionate fans each game. But just down the road at Penn State, whose fans are every bit as rabid as Michigan's, driving an average of four hours to see their team play in State College, you can see the effects of squeezing your supporters too hard.
The scoreboard scroller at Penn State's third game, against Navy, announced the game's attendance at ninety-eight thousand. As I write: "This would have brought heartbreak to the Michigan crowd, which had never dipped below one hundred thousand since 1975. But the Lions' six-year streak had already been broken at the opening game of the 2011 season, months before Sandusky was arrested, thanks to the overpricing of tickets through a misguided and ill-timed seat-license plan called the "Step Program." This had caused attendance to drop by about three thousand a game in 2010, when the program was introduced, again in 2011, and would again in 2012."
My sources tell me the trend is likely to continue in 2013, and this brings us to a central issue for meccas like Beaver Stadium, the Horseshoe and the Big House: faith. From the book:
College football fandom depends on the same force that buoys our nation's currency: faith. Since the United States left the gold standard, the US dollar has value only because billions of people around the world think it does. When a critical mass of people stop thinking that, our dollars will be worth no more than Confederate scrip—without the eBay memorabilia value.
College football isn't nearly as important, of course, nor as serious. But the ecosystem works the same way. Going to a football game at Michigan, Ohio State, or Penn State is great largely because over one hundred thousand people at each stadium think it is. If the sellouts stop and the empty seats increase, the fans start questioning why they're paying such incredible fees for a "wow experience" that cannot attract a sellout.
One friend calculated that taking her husband and two kids to the games—without dinners or hotel rooms—costs about $500 per Saturday, more than a day at Disney World. And Mickey never loses or snows on you.
"Just because you can charge them more," Bill Martin told me, "doesn't mean you should. You're not there to ring up the cash to the nth degree. It's a nonprofit model!
"Look into how much is spent on marketing, then look at how effective it is," he said. "Look at the increase in men's basketball attendance this year," he added. Michigan's top-10 men's team played twenty games at home, attracting capacity crowds of 12,693 for fifteen of those games, with only two under 10,000. "That would happen if you didn't spend one penny on marketing. You don't have to do marketing at Michigan. We have the fans. We have the support. We have a great reputation. All you have to do is win. If you win, they will come. You just need to make it as affordable as possible for your fans."
For all these reasons, my friends—who developed what they thought were lifelong habits of attendance as kids—have found themselves in the last few years rarely going to the stadium anymore.
The straw man of the hour was Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon. Brandon talks a lot about "brand loyalty," but that combines two words that, to a college football fan, aren't related. College football fans are fiercely loyal, but their loyalty is to something they most definitely do not see as a brand, rather something much deeper. If Michigan football ever lost loyal fans like my friends in the living room, who were raised on Michigan football, could it win them back?
Clearly, Brandon was betting that the endless branding would keep them in the fold. And perhaps if not, other fans could replace them."
Both those questions, I believe, will be answered in the near future. And they will be answered by you, the loyal fans, who will vote with your feet, and your credit card.
[After THE JUMP: is college football worth saving? Does Bill O'Brien want to strangle Tim Beckman? What does the U stand for?]
Unverified Voracity Dons Swag Glasses
The great coach smackdown of 2013. Sound Mind, Sound Body—an offseason camp that is set up such that college coaches can go—is too good to be true and will flame out in the near future when sixty other camps imitate it and the NCAA closes the loophole. But for now, we get things like Michigan coaches doing drills right next to Ohio State coaches that can be bothered to show up.
This is the setup for an uncomfortably hilarious moment. Mike Vrabel gets done with his drill segment early, badgers Mattison about finishing his bit when there's still time on the clock before the next rotation, and Mattison Is Not Having That. Via Sam Webb($):
"How about you coach them as hard as you can for as long as you have them?" Mattison yelled back tersely. "YOU GIVE THEM EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!!"
Mattison then donned his swag glasses and told Lawrence Marshall "that's why you don't go to Ohio State, Lawrence."
There's a great Greg Robinson story behind that paywall still.
Run, don't walk. Outside of paywall is a terrific article by Mike Rothstein on the basketball program's unique approach to recruiting, in which Michigan offers only after June 15th of a prospect's junior year and maintains a sedulous respect for the process of getting to know kids.
"I'll throw this at people," Jordan said. "'What's your mom's name?' Because there's a curiosity of why haven't you offered. 'How many brothers? How many sisters? What's your family like? Have you considered the fact that we don't really know each other, but there is a desire for a scholarship offer?'
"So now it's like, 'OK.' It's the education."
It does seem like the Michigan offer is now something that means something, unlike a number of other schools.
There's another, almost unintentional, byproduct. By having prospects wait for an offer and go through myriad steps, Michigan has created more perceived value around an offer from the school. Instead of just another scholarship offer on a list, it is one the player had to work for.
"To see that they still wanted to offer me, it meant a lot after recruiting me for a year and seeing how well I developed and saw how much potential I had," Irvin said. "That was really special to me."
Rothstein noticed that Beilein often goes after kids who are young for their grade—Caris LeVert is a recent prominent example—and got shot down when he asked the coaches about it. So he's on to something there.
Brady Hoke problems. ESPN gives Maurice Ways a fourth star, which means the list of current commits eligible for this site's Sleeper of the Year designation reads:
- Michigan State commits
If I have to I'll open it up to kids who got just one four-star ranking, which opens the door to a whopping three guys at the moment: Ways, Chase Winovich, and Wilton Speight.
ESPN also moved Drake Harris up 25 spots to 71st; the rest of Michigan's commits had insignificant drops of a spot or two.
Sense. And sensibility. And zombies. This bowl news is trickling out so gradually it begins to remind me of the Big Ten's realignment, which was announced weekly for two months. But I think one of the priorities fans had was being able to you know, watch the Big Ten's bowl lineup and Delany has confirmed that is something on the docket:
"I think what you'll see is a truly national slate of bowls," Delany said. "I think you'll see us probably stronger on the West Coast than we've been. You'll see us as strong in Florida as we've been, but probably not as much on New Year's [Day]. I think you'll see us in Texas, and you'll see us with some games in our region, some games on the East Coast. I think it's going to be a great slate. We've made a lot of progress."
Also, the league is about to force bowls to take at least five different teams over the next six years, so no Yet Another Orlando Trip. I'm a little leery of that. The impulse behind the idea is a good one but that threatens to screw with bowl matchups.
Finally, a chorus of angels sounds from above!
"We've been trying to create a model that's more realistic," Delany said. "We'll take fewer, better tickets. If that means the payouts have to come down some, that's OK. Because it makes no sense to overpay on tickets, over-commit and find out you're really subsidizing the bowls, financing your own game."
I'm going on six years of bitching about this. No more. Freedom! (Have I told you how terrible the scholarship model is?).
Could make the West more… nahhh. Tim Beckman picks up Oklahoma State transfer Wes Lunt, who started six games as a true freshman for the Cowboys. Michigan won't see him unless Illinois rotates onto the schedule in 2016, but the addition of a quality quarterback could make the Illini the scariest 4-8 team in college football.
The one time when a coach really could claim to block a player's transfer for their own good, and Gundy doesn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –edsbs
Just once, Illinois, you could try looking at a photograph of the guy you're hiring before doing so. Then you would not hire the people you hire. I challenge anyone to find a picture of Tim Beckmann that does not beg to be captioned "derp" or "hurrrr durrrr" or "is what how can do?"
Okay guy. It must be brutal to write something for a newspaper in June, but uh.
Freep Guest Column: Alternate jerseys and helmets continue to impress recruits
I don't think it's working. Next time put actual fireworks in the helmets?
Gant move confirmed. Brady Hoke confirmed that Allen Gant was now at SAM, stating thusly:
"He's a rangy guy and he's got length to him," Hoke said last week. "His body has the opportunity to put weight on, the structure and the genetics of the body.
"I think that's the biggest part of it."
If he tops out at 230, think Stevie Brown rather than Jake Ryan.
We missed this, but it's a little explosion-y so let's just do it now. Sam Webb puts out a Da'Shawn Hand article about two seconds after I do a final scan through my RSS feed for the recruiting roundup. Well played.
Most of it is stuff you've heard before about Professor Needs A Raise and how the Michigan staff is his favorite staff. But while I think a version of this quote was in a video somewhere this is the first time it's in text:
"My goal is try to make a decision before December," Hand reported. "At first I was going to stretch it out, but then after talking with my pop -- we kind of had a heart to heart -- I kind of have to make up my mind. It's a big decision, but at the same time I kind of have a gist of knowing where I'm going, but I ain't gonna say that."
Etc.: Books to read from Smart Football. MC79 on data versus feelingsball.
Fee Fi Foe Film: Illinois
Illinois took the field at Camp Randall Stadium last weekend hoping that a game against a struggling Wisconsin squad was just what they needed to turn around a nightmare season. After keeping it close through three quarters in which neither team could move the ball, they gave up 21 fourth-quarter points en route to a 31-14 loss. The Badgers, which entered the game averaging just 309 yards of total offense, put up 427 on 7.4 yards per play; the Illini could muster just 284 yards of their own.
As you can see, first-year head coach Tim Beckman couldn't bear to take in such a performance without putting in a lip-full of dip. Like pretty much every other decision made by Tim Beckman this year, this was stupid:
Illinois self-reported a level 2 secondary violation to the Big Ten Conference after coach Tim Beckman was seen chewing tobacco during Saturday's game against Wisconsin.
The NCAA prohibits the use of chewing tobacco for coaches, game officials and players during practice and games.
"It's a bad habit, and one that definitely will be corrected," Beckman said on Tuesday.
Illinois football, ladies and gentlemen!
[Hit THE JUMP for the full breakdown and definitely not more pictures of Beckman channeling his inner redneck. No, definitely not more of those.]

Does jet-lag affect your sense of taste?
- linguafood Sep 6, 2010 10:15 AM
I'm asking b/c whenever I fly to and from Europe, it takes a few days for me to get the full range of flavors in the foods I eat.
I've learned to not plan on any elaborate, expensive, or subtly flavored meals in the first couple of days after a transatlantic flight, because it's totally wasted on me.
Everything I eat tastes bland, muted... like the flavors are turned down a few notches. So I either don't bother eating anything interesting, or I need to seriously crank up the spice level to 'enjoy' my meal.
Anyone else share this experience?
This is *fascinating*, linguafood! And now you've got me thinking back over the (many, many) times when I've been jet-lagged.
Pondering it now, it seems to make sense that one's taste would be a little sluggish after a long flight, especially adding in the time change and general frenzy of travel these days.
I do definitely crave certain foods after a long flight -- something as far from airplane food as I can get my hands on: hot, fresh, comfort-foodish. Last time I went to Australia, my first post-plane meal was a massive scallion pancake, beautiful little juicy pork dumplings, and gallons of hot tea, from a northern Chinese dumpling place in Sydney.
I definitely don't crave spicy foods -- usually long flights and exhaustion make me a wee bit nauseous, so I'm pretty put off by strong flavors.
Very interested to hear others' input!
Most of my travel is N-S with not so many time zones. My Europe-US adjustments have been more the meal shifts, i.e. departing Europe at breakfast time and arriving in the US 7 hours later, in time for..a late breakfast.
From the other direction, Sydney to Denver wiped me out for 2 days. But Miami- Rio, 8 hours, no problem. I think it's more the clock adjustment for me.
Fortunately, no - if anything both appetite and pleasure in the food are heightened by the mild buzz I get from jet lag. Let me at that food, whether in Europe or Asia.
I'd be unsure whether it was sense of taste or, simply, tiredness that's the cause - but I usually have little interest in "good food" for a couple of days. Of course, when you're flying to, say, a holiday destination you gotta make an effort to overcome that and just dive into the food as best you can. You may not get the second chance.
Perhaps it is simply the overexposure to the dreadful "air" on the plane damaging your olfactory abilities and thus affecting your sense of tase. I have noticed that even relatively short flights may congest my sniffer.
Then again, the entire air travel experience in and of itself is often enough to ruin one's appetite. I mean, "Sure, here's an extra 25 bucks so you can inadvertenly forget to send my bag to my ultimate destination. . . . "
Nothing seems to effect my sense of taste or my appetite. Dammit :) I come off an airplane all ready to chowdown any time and any where. I agree with Veggo that N/S is much easier than W/E because of few time zone changes. We're heading to Rio on Thurs. We live in NoCal and it's only four hours difference. One of our best meals ever was returning from Rio with alayover in Houston. We bought ribs in the airport and while others on the plane were having Cheerios with milk and a banana, we were chowing down on ribs and slurping beer!!!
re: c oliver
Tell me you weren't hungry when you got off the plane, after the ribs and the beer!!
With me, lack of appetite is only partly the problem. Of course, with the time change and all, meal times are shifted fairly radically, and I try to eat light meals in the first few days. It's just that they all kind of taste seriously *meh*. Means I eat less, of course, and lose 2 lbs. in a day (which, sadly, never stays off...)
No, if by "jet-lag" you mean just an adjustment period to a change in timezones.
What does affect my sense of taste is fatigue in general -- which oftentimes, for me anyway, is part and parcel to jet-lag.
re: ipsedixit
Well, yeah. We all know jet-lag fucks with your internal system, and one experiences fatigue.
But even in my "awakest" hours, sitting down to eat.... it's almost irrelevant what I put in my mouth.
Guess I'm super-special that way '-D
re: ipsedixit
I think mine ends up being a combination of fatigue, messed-up sinuses, and just a little discombobulation -- my body thinks it's lunch time, but it's dinnertime according to the clock, so it's sort of a misplaced expectation.
I'm usually ravenous when I land in Europe, because the food on the plane sucks, and I resent the two swallows of tepid, dirty water that they call "coffee", and the wet spongelike substance that they call a "croissant".
I usually just drink the OJ, eat the banana, and hope that customs isn't FUBAR so I can go get a cup of actual coffee and a pastry.
I know that your sense of taste is supposedly affected on the plane itself, which is why airlines say they get a bad rap, and that they now formulate their food to compensate. But this may be BS.
I remember what I ate the last time I flew (over 12 years ago) and my taste wasn't affected at the time.
And I can't remember the first thing I ate in New York was. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hot dog, but I don't think you could judge that as being subtle.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Ugh. If someone asks me "chicken or pasta" one more time, I'm gonna flip. The "pasta" is an abomination, generally overcooked, in shitty tomato sauce, with shitty cheese on top. The chicken is tasteless rubber crap.
I'd rather OD on airport food (which also has gotten a lot better in recent years) like Bourbon chicken or a simple sandwich or salad. ANYTHING is better than cattle class airplane food.
Save for Singapore Airlines. And business class.
re: linguafood
I always get hungry on the plane that look forward to the foods :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
Look, Ck, I am fully aware of notions of "quality" being intrinsically relative, but, frankly my friend, your defense of airline food is bringing me down. I mean, I will grant you certain latitude based upon the delirium brought about through near starvation and I can accept that perhaps you felt comfortable muttering "Hmm, you know, that was pretty good . . . for airline food" once or twice. However, I am going to look upon your attitude regarding the culinary abominations served while in the air as born out of some type of unconscious anxiety related to the travel process that manifests as hunger. Please don't try to dissuade me, as I think this is the only way your preceding comments and my general respect for you as a 'hound may peacefully co-exist.
re: linguafood
That might have been it. We were bumped to 1st class, so I ate steak, champagne and a fresh baked cookie.
re: linguafood
Oh yes. But, I tell you what, the snacks on Qantas are dynamite. They serve the most delicious little chocolate and vanilla biscuits with your tea, and in the middle of the "night" they bring around frozen fruit bars. The little snack packs they hand out are seriously yum. But the food itself? Dreck. And I've tried every meal formulation available, I swear -- vegetarian, kosher, vegan, halal... All equally offensive.
re: LauraGrace
Why can't they just make a delicious and nourishing stew T____T
re: linguafood
ugh - not if you're talking about Atlanta -- it's one greasy fast-food joint after another -- not at all what I want to eat before sitting for 10 hours.
re: Chemicalkinetics
It's never good but it's a diversion from the tedium of a long flight (you can always be bemused by just how bad it is, like the fishball coated in aspic sliding around on top of another firmer gelled substance of indeterminate flavor that was the "appetizer" on a flight I took to Shanghai from NRT) . I know what you mean, Chemk.
re: buttertart
Oh, some of the airline foods are bad, like the standard airline pasta, but I have had interesting little snacks (Tawianese pineapple biscuits) and I also found the non-American styles of meals more interseting -- in general anway.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Me too! Yunnan candies for example on a China Eastern Yunnan food "festival" meal. Where are you going to get those other than by going there?
re: buttertart
Yunnan candies? Are you talking about those hand pulled stressed candy?
Ok, maybe machine pulled nowsday.
I mostly fly from US to Japan and then to Taiwan. I think I got the pineapple biscuit on my way from Japan to Taiwan.
When I was very young I had an interesting yellowish rice dish on Singapore airline. I don't remember much, but I remember it was not bad at all.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Man, you're so lucky CK.
If you ever write about your adventures, let me know, I'd like to read them
re: Chemicalkinetics
They were small hard candies, some exotic fruit flavor. Better than the noodles they came with! (Not dragon-beard candy if that's what you're thinking of).
Pineapple cakes...mmm...maybe next time it'll be a Taiyang bing...
re: Chemicalkinetics
The best cookies I've ever had on a plane were from a flight from Tikal back to Guatemala. Ginger cookies. Divine.
re: happybaker
Did you have any cardamom while in Guatemala?
re: queencru
That is because you haven't had pizza for a long while, right? I went on fasting for three days, and I find everything as simple as nabisco biscuits very tasty at the end of my fasting.
Not for me. At least, nothing substantial that I notice. However, jet-lag can affect my appetite, or so I believe.
I got back from San Francisco to the UK a couple of days ago and found the wine I'd been drinking here for some time from the same case suddenly tasted bitter - my partner found this too. I asked for a refund from my supplier, but now the wine has improved, and I think this must be our jet-lagged tastebuds rather than the wine.
Haven't noticed any differences in taste perception, and my most recent flights are E-W, and 14+ hrs. I'm always hungry in-flight, as there are "cooking smells" / i.e., rethermalizing aromas haha.
I usually avoid serious dining adventures for at least a day or two, until I am more well-rested.
No,not the jet-lag. It's actually being on the flight that affects me. Breathing that recirculated air and the constant wine of the jet engine. I'm also 6'8" so I have to battle the person in front of me with their seat in full recline as my knees push into their back. After ten hours of that and trying to supress my pain with alcohol, my sences are dulled for a couple days.
re: emglow101
You have my genuine sympathies. I am of average height, and find things a tight fit. I've always felt bad for those who aren't average. Even my petite little mom has problems -- she's so short, her feet don't touch the floor unless she puts a bag on the floor -- the pressure of the seat frame on her legs makes her feet go to sleep if she doesn't prop up her feet.
I used to work with three guys who were huge -- the smallest one was 6'3" with an 18" collar (and none fat -- I ordered the work shirts...) -- those guys were always miserable trying to cram their enormous frames into the seats.
I recently did Tokyo-Amsterdam-New York and surprisingly my taste buds were more awake than usual. Having to go from Japanese convenience stores (including 7-11) to the septic tanks in the US (aka 7-11) is monumentally dispiriting.
Usually it's in-flight where one encounters this issue, and depending on the airline that might be a good thing.
Traveling west doesn't bother me much. Traveling east over 4 times zones messes me up big time. Under that and I'm ok after a good sleep. I get mental weirdness, either spaciness or hyper-intense focus, become severely introverted, appetite suppression, food really does taste blah/boring big time even spicy stuff, alcohol either doesn't effect me, or does in ways other than the norm. Flying to Europe kicks my brain apart and it takes me almost a week to adapt. Fly back here and I am ok within 24 hours.
re: linguafood
I'm one of those super sensitive people to medication, photosensitive exposure, circadian rhythms, etc. If there is a possible side effect of a medication, I will get it. Dark winter days I have to have bright lights or I will be lethargic and extremely mellow. Or I have to sleep natural/medieval style, with segmented sleep. Go to bed, sleep several hours, get up for a few hours, then go back to sleep. I'm doing that right now. I had 3.75 hours sleep, then I've been awake for 1.75 hours, and now going back to bed. Summer nights and I may only sleep 3-4 hours and feel energized.
re: linguafood
I actually never went back to sleep. Only 3.75 hours last night and so far had a busy day. I'm annoyed with the whole federal/state health insurance nonsense, and my health provider, but that's not unusual.
Laurie Colwin, the late great food writer, had a fabulous essay on feeding jet lagged folks or travelers
She spoke of the physical and mental tiredness. Her solution? Soup. She had her preferences but as someone who used to do the east coast/west coast red eye it truly freed me to say "Can I just have something simple?"
Once I realized it would take me about 24 hours to adjust, I was able to eat better, feel better - and then attack the big good stuff!
Me! That's why I am researching this topic. When I flew in to SF from London I realized I could not taste anything for 5 days after I landed! Two weeks later I flew back and I am now on day 2.5 here in London and still no taste.
Very strange and very frustrating when on vacation trying to have my faves and tasting nothing.
I think it's related to the airplane air, I swear they put something in it...
I get a lot of sinus drainage after the plane so perhaps it is that with whatever is in the air that kills my taste. That would make the most sense....
This is why I try to fly to Hong Kong when I'm en route to SE Asia. There's nothing I really want there anyway...oh, and having the HK airport frequent traveler card helps too.
I tend to agree with comments regarding the treatment of air on the long haul flights, and how that may effect your olfactory senses (closely linked to taste, clearly).
I wonder if there are any Hounders here who have worked on airlines, or catering companies that supply them etc, who can talk to the food preparation and quality issues.
I think it would be a whole set of different challenges for an airline to serve high quality at a reasonable price point and with different methods of cooking, preserving and reheating food etc.

Potts Camp School Reunion well attended
By Mary R. Minor
The annual Potts Camp School Reunion was well attended on Saturday, June 5, with 94 in attendance.
The Class of 1960 was honored for their 50th anniversary. Members in attendance were Joy Kimery Young and husband Lanier, Louis Sanders, Katherine Paton Duncan, Sheila Bates Coleman, Jack Clayton and Sidney Turnipseed.
Mitch Stone served as master of ceremonies and welcomed everyone to the 22nd annual school reunion and then called on superintendent of education Don Randolph to say a blessing for the food.
The meal was prepared by Joan Gurley, Lisa Goolsby Murphy and Doris Gurley Poole and consisted of hoagie ham, turkey and cheese sandwiches with tomato and lettuce, chips, strawberries, watermelon, canteloupe and an assortment of homemade desserts and soft drinks.
Following the delicious meal, Stone sang The National Anthem. The theme this year was "patriotism" and was carried out in the traditional red, white and blue decorations throughout the cafeteria.
Fresh hydrangeas and daylilies in beautiful colors were brought by several members from their gardens.
A moment of silence was held in memory of those we lost during the past year: Billy Bowen, Laverne Shaw Cupp, Jeanette Work Dunning, Ray Evans, Tom Hatcher, June Cooper Haynes, Mary L. Nelson Gurley, Linda Ash McAlexander, Susan D. Nelson (wife of John L. Nelson), and Linda Watson Theisen. A beautiful tribute, brought by Walt Theisen in memory of his wife, was read by Stone.
Members of the Class of '55 were also recognized for their 55th reunion. Attending from that class were Betty Love Shaw and husband Knowlton, Jimmie and Margaret Hart, Shirley Bready and husband Tom, Joe McCallum and wife Jean, John and Betty Alderson Bowen.
Graduates from other classes were then recongnized beginning with Mrs. Annie Ruth Stone's class of 1939 and continuing through the present. Members of the Potts Camp Basketball champs of 1961 were also recognized.
Several announcements were made.
A 90th birthday celebration will be held for Annie Ruth Stone by her family on Sunday, June 27, at the school cafeteria from 2-4 p.m. with everyone invited.
Several yearbooks from the estate of Sarah Ruth Godwin were donated by Sue Erwin. A fund is being established for the purchase of a display cabinet to be housed in the school library for these books. Annie Ruth Stone was designated as the treasurer of this account.
Graduation composites from 1939 through 1980 were displayed in the hallway of the high school for everyone to see. These brought back many good memories and everyone enjoyed getting to see them. Those in attendance enjoyed touring the school and viewing changes made since they graduated. Thanks to Leigh Ann Sanderson and school staff for this display.
Special thanks to those preparing the meal and to Jeanette Stone and Nancy Green for registering the guests. Thanks also to Stone for providing patriotic music and other musical selections throughout the meal. His musical gift is enjoyed each year by all in attendance.
Others in attendance were Annie Ruth Stone, Jim and Lorene Gandy Miller, O'Neal and Joanne Kimery, Charles Gurley, Danny and Janice Morris, Ladine Randolph, Mildred Bowen, Linda Hatcher, Mary Kimery,
Bobby and Katie Smithwick, Butone Mansel, Maxine Gholston Avent, Evelyn Sue Erwin, Lottie and Bob Whiting, Jim and Jean Lindsey, George Paton, Joan and Gene Smith, Fred and Mary Jo Whaley, Katie and Bill New,
Joann Gholston Cox, Richard and Alta Faye Lawrence, Lee Cox, Thelma Westmoreland, Vecelia Gadd, Earnest and Neva Dean Reece, Cary and Jo Ann Mayer, George and Margaret Greer, Tommy Howell,
Jimmie and Lurline Kimery, Norma Kirk Rooker, Ralph Clayton, James W. Gray, Elizabeth Gholston Hunsucker, Pat Hankins Cook, Martha Castleberry Hardy, May Wynn Wren, David and Kathy Barber,
Walt Theisen, Jack McCallum, Suzy Stilwell, John Nelson, Maxine Shands, Elaine M. Cox, Sam Kirk, Gale and Tommy Ann Goode, Jim and Wilma Rhea, Martha Day, Lela Hale, Francis Redding, Dewey Brownlee, and Ruby Brownlee Thompson.

- Petitioned U.S. House of Representatives
This petition was delivered to:
Help Stop the Alaska Wolf Massacre
Sponsored by
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Since 2003, more than 1,000 wolves have been slaughtered under the State of Alaska's aerial wolf killing programs, shot dead by airborne gunners with high-powered rifles or chased to exhaustion and executed at point-blank range.
To artificially inflate Alaska's moose and caribou populations -- often for the benefit trophy hunters that don't even live in Alaska -- outgoing governor Sarah Palin accelerated the killing in recent years. This year alone, more than 250 wolves have been killed -- putting the 2008/2009 aerial wolf killing season on pace to become the deadliest in years.
Congressman George Miller will soon re-introduce the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act, federal legislation to end the controversial practice of using aircraft and gunmen to chase and kill wolves in Alaska.
Complete the form below to urge your representative to sign on as an original co-sponsor of representative George Miller's re-introduced PAW Act help end this awful practice in Alaska and prevent it from spreading to places like the Northern Rockies.
U.S. House of Representatives
In 1971, Congress passed the Federal Airborne Hunting Act -- legislation specifically designed to outlaw exactly this type of unfair and unfounded killing. However, since 2003 officials in Alaska have flouted the intent of that law and perpetuated a scientifically unfounded aerial wolf-killing program.
So far, more than 1,000 wolves have been chased down by gunmen in low-flying aircraft and killed with high-powered rifles. More than 250 wolves were killed during the 2008/2009 aerial wolf killing season, making it one of the deadliest in years.
This brutal practice has been condemned by wildlife biologists, hunters and conservationists from Alaska and around the world... and with good cause.
Under the program, the state issues permits to private hunters to allow the use of planes to track and shoot down wolves from above or chase them to exhaustion and kill them at point-blank range. Allowing private citizens to participate creates an unethical hunting program and the state has weak information on which to base their decisions on how many wolves are killed under the program or any solid data to substantiate the program's effectiveness.
The PAW Act would help restore science and integrity to wildlife management on America's Last Frontier by...
* Requiring states to provide a scientific foundation for their use of aerial gunning;
* Barring states from using aerial gunning to artificially boost game species populations; and
* Clarifying the conditions under which states can use aircraft to kill wolves and other predators to protect wildlife.
I am outraged by aerial wolf killing and hope that you will do everything in your power to stop this awful practice as an original cosponsor of the Protect America's Wildlife Act.
Thank you for considering my comments. I look forward to your response.
