Author shows youths the power of the pen
Writer hosts workshop at local school
When award-winning children's author Darleen Bailey Beard visited Christ Academy on Thursday, she asked the 40 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders who assembled for her writing workshop, "How many of you like to write?"
Two raised their hands.
"How many of you HATE to write?" she asked.
The rest of the hands waved in the air.
Beard joked that they presented her with a challenge because she had come to show them that writing is not only fun but easy.
Beard is best known for her six children's books, many of them award-winners: "Operation Clean Sweep," "The Flimflam Man," "Twister," "The Babbs Switch Story," "Annie Glover is Not a Tree Lover" and "The Pumpkin Man from Piney Creek."
She visited Christ Academy to present a few of her 40 writing workshops for children.
Though writing is one of the most basic skills, she said, teachers have little time to devote to teaching it or to simply read a good story to their students.
That leaves many children with a fear of the blank page — or the blank computer screen — as they tackle a school writing project such as a three-page report on Texas.
Yet writing is a step-by-step process, she said, "like building a house. The words are the bricks. You build with words, one by one, to build poems and stories."
Beard earned a degree in professional writing from the University of Oklahoma, where she was taught to "write what you know, write what you love," she said.
So she wrote "Twister," about a tornado like the one that swept across her city when she was a child.
A good book also starts with a good idea, she said. Over the years, she's picked up many unusual story ideas from her local newspaper and wrapped imaginary stories around them.
Her book "Annie Glover is Not a Tree Lover" is based on a quirky photograph of a woman who chained herself to a tree to save it from being cut down. She found the photo in her local newspaper — then created a story around it.
In her Thursday workshop Beard gave the children opportunities to try "little morsels of writing" in four-minute segments.
She showed them a gift tied with a ribbon, read her own story about the day she was surprised with a new bike, and then asked her audience to write their own personal essay about receiving or giving a gift.
"It doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't have to be a book, it doesn't have to be a chapter," she encouraged.
Next she asked them to write a poem, weaving in the five senses.
She asked everyone to close their eyes while she pulled out a surprise — a spray bottle filled with water — and went around the room, spritzing the children with the mist.
"Think about how badly you guys need rain," she said as the students began to write their poems. "Think of the five senses."
It's a shame that teachers don't have the time to teach writing to students like in years past, she said.
"It's one of the basic skills kids need. And it's therapy. They can write their feelings, thoughts, or write about their relationships. Growing up is hard enough as it is. Writing helps kids think about it, reflect, look back and make good choices."
Jenohn Euland, 12, said she enjoyed the one-hour workshop. "I liked how we got to express and write about odd things — things you wouldn't usually write about."

Austin TX to Pittsburgh PA - 7/26/2015
I am a college educated mellennial who moved from Austin to Pittsburgh in 2013 and this city is freakin' awesome. Here's why:
-this is one of the most friendly places I have ever been.
-the entire area has unbelievable character, the architecture makes you feel like you have steped back in time to a late 1800s industial city. Everything is brick, there are old smoke stacks and remenants of the steel industry everywhere.
-in TX the weather is great but it is unavoidable that the sun will fry your skin. In Pittsburgh it is cloudy a lot but that results in people staying way younger looking. I often can't tell if a woman is 45 or 30. When the sun does come out the landscape around Pittsburh is beautiful lush green mountains checkered with patches of golf course like grass around the houses.
-it is not unbearably crowded like Austin and other "hot spots" (bay area, Seattle)
-the art and cultural scene is good with a bunch of museums left over that rich industrialists built long ago, the Andy Worhol museum, etc.
-A lot of the main stream restraunts in Pittsburgh are overrated but if you do some digging there are amazing smaller places few people seem to know about. It also seems like great new restraunts are poping up everwhere.
-lots of good microbreweries.
-very affordable housing and robust housing market, houses in Austin are 20% over valued, here you can find a great house easily and it seems like everyone and thier dog is making money off an investment property. With Google expanding and Uber moving into the area it is going to keep pushing values up even faster in many parts of Pittsburgh.
-there are blue collar locals who love sports and hip, well-read folks so you get both ends of the spectrum.
-top schools, both primary and secondary with CMU having the top Computer Science graduate program in the world. There are a lot of sharp people around.
-Pittsburgh learned from the past and has a diversified economy making it more resiliant to economic downturns.
I sound like a Pittsburgh spokesperson but I am really happy I moved here. My only con is to steer clear of the Clairion area as the factory there gives off too much air pollution and drives down the air pollution average readings for the area, which aren't great anyway. The air in Pittsburgh in general is getting cleaner every year. With that getting under control Pittsburgh is going to stop being the best kept secret and really start booming. You can see the begining of the Pittsburgh renasissance already with all the construction and outside investment. I'm glad I got in early.

Ellis School - 6/9/2015
Parents BEWARE and WARNED. I am very disappointed in this administration as well as a few teachers with regards to how they handle bullying. They are more concerned for their own reputation and liability issues than a student who has been bullied and the psychological aspects that stem from it. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP AND ELLIS BETTER GET A GRIP SOON OR THEY WILL BE EXPOSED BY SOME OTHER FAMILY IN THE FUTURE. THE COUNSELORS ARE GREAT BUT THEY ARE HELPLESS AGAINST THIS ADMINISTRATION. SO PARENTS BEWARE AND READ OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. It is more devastating to a child who has been a victim of bullying when their own teacher and administration does not stand behind them. Instead, at Ellis, they will treat the bullied child as though THEY are at fault and dismiss them from their school. Making that child feel worthless. I am hopeful this has not scared my granddaughter. She already has trouble sleeping and eating and needs counseling from all this. So parents please beware. It's not just the bully but how a school handles it is very important to the well being and growth of a child this young. Physical bullying in schools NEEDS to END - "Keep your hands to yourself" is all that needs to be said to a child who hits and punches!!!! [Comment on this Posting]
I recently relocated to Pittsburgh - 3/13/2015
I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. Lived as an adult in NYC, and spent the last 20 years in south FL. I moved to Pittsburgh 1.5 years ago for an executive position in healthcare, when my husband retired. Things I love: the friendliest people I have ever met, ever, anywhere. Really inexpensive housing, my 85 year old Tudor, walking distance from restaurants, movies and shops, would have cost twice as much in FL and 3 times as
much in NY. Lots to do; great boating in summer, biking, hiking, museums, art, restaurants, theater, lectures, concerts, sports,32
colleges, it goes on and on. Lots of educated people, jobs in healthcare, tech and education, and active Buddhist community
( important to us). Amazing restaurants, green markets, yoga downtown area. On the down side is winter. Spring, summer and fall are perfect in my book, but, winter is gray and snowy, January and February are a good time to get away- the airport is 20 minutes away. Taxes in my community are double what they were in FL, because of the highly rated schools (I don't have kids). I think utilities are high, I pay gas, electric, water, sewer. There is state and city income tax. Food expensive compared to FL, and a mani- pedi is $40 at the cheapest place. The roads are terrible, there is no grid, the steeet signs are not helpful and potholes abound. I got lost alot when we first arrived, and I am accustomed to driving in strange cities.
Overall, we LOVE it here. My husband is retired at age 60, and volunteers at the National Aviary and the Zoo, and he loves the fact that we can walk to public transportation to get downtown, where there are Steelers, Penguins and Pirates venues within a one mile radius!
The city is booming at the moment. When I retire in a few years, we figure we can downsize our house enough to afford to spend most of the winter further south, and then we'll have perfection. Pittsburgh is a wonderful place to call home.[Comment on this Posting]
Reply to concerns about Pittsburgh climate, cultur - 3/12/2015
Maybe I can shed some light for those considering a move to Pittsburgh. First, I have lived in Pittsburgh for eight and a half years, moving here from Southern California. ROUGH adjustment! The culture, food, weather, everything. Having said that, I have seen Pittsburgh really grow in the eight years I have been here, including the 'burbs. You have world class museums, and of course, three major league sports teams; Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. The black and gold thing is a bit much for me, but at times it is endearing. Pittsburgh is really a small city with a lot of big city amenities. Having moved here from California, the cost of living was a great bonus. Great cost of living. Cautionary note; we bought our first home here (never being able to afford CA prices) but were set back by the property taxes in Allegheny County. While I pay just under 4,000 a year in property taxes, I have family back home in California whose houses are worth 3-4 x what mine is worth and pay half that. As to air quality; I had heard "things" about Pittsburgh's air quality and I can honestly say I have not had an issue with it. I don't know if those reports harken back to when Pittsburgh's steel mills left the air in an abysmal state, including that one episode in history many years ago when the skies were literally black from pollution. Lastly, I will state that the weather leaves much to be desired. The lack of sunlight has finally convinced me I cannot take it any longer, and I am planning on moving back west. I want to retire where I don't have to freeze (I am 52) and I can't take all the gray, dreary days in Pittsburgh. Oh, and yes, when I first got here I was taken aback at how much trash there was. I think that has improved, and I have curbside recycling that is multi-stream. I recycle about 95 gallons a week.[Comment on this Posting]

It's all about the Sports - 9/9/2014
Pittsburgh is a wonderful place to raise a family - low cost of living, low crime(at least in the suburbs) but if you plan to live here, it's requirement to be sports-obsessed. This town live and dies by its sports teams - especially the Steelers. If you love sports, this is the place to be.[Comment on this Posting]

response to Tom - 5/12/2014
Couldn't agree more! I've been to 45 states and this city is the worst. Roads, weather but the people are friendly. They are everywhere, sometimes it's my attitude that's off. Look at the population increase-decrease in Dallas TX vs Pittsburgh PA. Give ya something to do as there is very little here. The roads in Texas are like glass compared to here. No state income tax either(or city). Our local government needs to travel and see what real progress is. Leave downtown or the North Shore and you have ugly, dirty and potholes. Pave the streets but you still have an 85 year old infrastructure.[Comment on this Posting]

Pittsburgh, a wonderful place to live! - 9/28/2013
Before my girlfriend and I moved here to Pittsburgh in June of 2009, we researched many places in the United States to live. We were looking for a place with available work, and a low cost of living. At the time that we moved from Western Massachusetts, the total number of jobs listed on Monster.com within a five mile radius of Amherst, MA was a grand total of eight in all categories. At the same time, there were thousands of jobs listed here in Pittsburgh. Back in Amherst, a small wood frame house could cost more than $250,000. Within a few months of moving to Pittsburgh, we purchased a brick row house here for only $40,000.
Another reason that we moved to Pittsburgh is the city's universities and medical facilities. We learned that Pitt is one of the top ranked schools for Occupational Therapy in the country and my girlfriend has now begun taking courses there for her Masters in OT. She was also looking for a place where she could teach, and she is now in her fourth year as an Associate Professor at a local University. Finally, through the research and support organizations here in Pittsburgh, we have been able to continue the work that we began in Massachusetts, supporting adults on the autism spectrum.
Since we arrived, we have also started a business building Search Engine Optimized websites, and we have found more work here than we have time to complete. What we have learned is that Pittsburgh has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, and there are now more people employed here than there were at the height of the steel industry. Even through the recent economic downturn that has been compared with the Great Depression, both business and real estate have continued to thrive here in Pittsburgh.
However, there is one thing that I would like to change here in Pittsburgh, and that is the perception of many long-term residents that life is better in other places than it is here. What we have found is that there are enough resources for to live here comfortably, unlike other places I have lived. Pittsburgh allows us to have the culture of a city, with museums, theater, and music, while still living in a welcoming neighborhood community. More importantly, we have found the quality of the people living here to have the practical, low-stress, Midwestern values that makes Pittsburgh a wonderful place to live.[Comment on this Posting]
Filthy, Dishonest, and Polluted City - 4/8/2013
I chose to relocate to Pittsburgh because it is rated as the best city to live in the USA, and the healthcare giant that employs most of its citizens to be in the top ten by US News. That is why I chose to relocate here to start my career in healthcare. First I was duped into signing a lease for an apartment that disguised itself (slumlords), and accepted a job for the healthcare giant that also disguised itself as a "world class" place to work (recently charged with over 80 counts of federal labor law violations). The air quality in the city is worse than I have ever experienced in the three cities that I have previously resided (Nashville, Traverse City, and Grand Rapids). Just getting off the plane in Michigan is a huge wake up call, to take that first breath of clean air immediately makes me realize what I'm missing. The area is covered with garbage and it is normal for restaurants to pile garbage on the sidewalks each night for trash collection services without the use of dumpsters and sometimes even bags. I have never seen a roach in any city I have ever lived until I moved to Pittsburgh where you see them crawling the sidewalks around the Oakland area. I eat out for each meal and have only once had good service by a friendly staff member (Fox and Hound, you guys are great!). Recycling is practically unheard of in Pittsburgh with no deposit on bottles or cans and no city funded recycling pick up service readily available to residents. I have met many great people here that I consider to be friends although there is a vast abundance of very rude people (the type that think you're flirting if you casually compliment them). Pittsburgh, PA is also a cancer hotspot due to the abundance of pollution. I found that to be very disturbing. The culture is nonexistent unless you are a die hard football fan. There is no public art or beautification happening in Pittsburgh on a respectable scale. The alcohol laws in Pennsylvania are also ridiculous since they made it illegal to buy a six pack of beer... To buy beer you must go to a beer distributor (not the same as a state liquor store) and must by law purchase an entire case of beer; you better hurry because they close at 10pm. The city is a complete disgrace due to the serious level of dishonesty that is considered business as usual here. If you're planning a move to Pittsburgh keep in mind that life here will be nothing like it is described to you, and be prepared for the worst. [Comment on this Posting]
Snow 7 Months. a Year - 3/8/2013
Pittsburgh has great culture, universities, museums, libraries, pro sports...you name it! Great people too...a dichotomous blend of the completely uneducated blue collar yinzers combined with the highly educated academia and medical community of UPMC.
However, you must learn to live without sunshine. Also, believe no one when they tell you that winter isn't that long here. Check the stats. It snows up to seven months out of the year with less than 50 days of sun. You will go months without seeing the sun for even a split second...except as an odd moon-like shape behind the dark clouds on occasion. Cold, dark, damp and did I mention COLD? Summer is hazy and humid. Not horribly hot, but not comfortable either with the humidity and no sunshine.

Air quality - 2/6/2013
We are looking at Pittsburgh Pa as a possible retirement location. our children and grandchildren will also be relocating so Pittsburgh appears to ahve it all. But one thing scares me almost off the city all together and thats AIR QUALITY. Can anyone help me with this subject with your first hand knowledge.[Comment on this Posting]
Almost perfect! - 1/28/2013
I have spent a lot of time in various cities around the world, but Pittsburgh will always be my home. I'm sad to see some of the negative reviews on here, but happy that most are positive.
Pittsburgh has a lot to offer. Outdoor life is big here, and with the many parks, it is easy to spend time outside. Mountain biking, kayaking, hiking/ trail running, camping, and skiing/ snowboarding are all readily accessible within or near Pittsburgh.
There are many theaters and museums for those looking to take in some culture. And of course, there are the sports teams. People from the Burgh bleed Black and Gold, giving an unparalleled sense of pride and community. We do more than watch football, though! There are many locally owned bars and restaurants, breweries, small productions and festivals to entertain you. If you are bored, just look in the City Paper for the huge list of events happening every weekend.
Pittsburgh used to be a blue collar town, but it is moving up. There are tons of jobs in health care, and Google just opened an office building here. You'll meet loads of professionals in addition to blue collar workers. But Pittsburgh's history has created a culture of being real, friendly, and decidedly un-snobby. I've never been anywhere as welcoming as Pittsburgh.
No place is perfect. It can be hard to find a job, and the sun only shines half the time. But with the low cost of living and housing, and all that the Burgh has to offer, I invite anyone to come check it out.[Comment on this Posting]
Almost perfect- can't wait to move back! - 1/28/2013
I am originally from Pittsburgh, but have spent a lot of time in other cities in America and outside of the States as well. I am well educated and well traveled. It makes me sad to see some of the negative reviews of my hometown, but I am glad that most are positive.
Pittsburgh has a lot to offer. It's got great parks in the city and suburbs. It's very easy and enjoyable to spend time outdoors in Pittsburgh. Mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking are just some of the outdoor sports easily available. The mountains are nearby for camping and skiing/ snowboarding.
There are tons of museums and theaters for people interested in taking in some culture. And of course, there are the sports teams. People from the Burgh bleed Black and Gold, and it gives a sense of unparalleled community and pride. That doesn't mean that watching football is all we do, however! Local restaurants, bars, breweries, plays, festivals: I don't understand how anyone could be bored in Pittsburgh. Just pick up the City Paper- it's full of the week's events.
Pittsburgh used to be a blue-collar town, but it is on the rise. There are tons of hospitals around so medical jobs are booming. And Google just opened up an office building. You will meet lots of professionals in addition to blue collar workers. The great thing about Pittsburgh's history is that it has created a culture of being real, friendly, and decidedly un-snobby. I've never been anywhere as welcoming as Pittsburgh- I miss that so much.
No place is perfect. It can be hard to find a job, though things are starting to look up. And it is true that the sun only shines 160 days a year. But the cost of living and housing is very low, and I think for all the great things the Burgh has to offer, it is worth checking it out. I hope this review has helped![Comment on this Posting]
I'm confused about cost of living - 11/29/2012
I currently live in Boston and am thinking of relocating to PGH. However, I am quite confused about cost of living. I see that there is supposedly a significant difference in cost of living between Boston and PGH so I should be able to survive on a lower salary. Yet when I look on craigslist at apartments to rent in the downtown area (Shadyside, Squirrel Hill), the prices seem to be the same as Boston. Right now, in Boston I live in the inner 'burbs -- downtown and work are 5 miles away -- and I pay $1100 for a 400 sq ft studio in Boston and that rent includes heat, hot water, and trash. Yes, the PGH apartments are larger, but I thought they would be cheaper. Can anyone confirm if the cost of living for PGH is coming out lower because they are factoring in data on the greater metro area?
I live on my salary alone. I work in education so I make a low salary and I have to be careful about budgets. What salary range would allow me to live in or close to downtown PGH and be able to have a social life, like afford to go out at least once a week, go to movies monthly, etc? The jobs in my field seem to have salaries in the mid40s and that seems way to low based on my research so far. Can anyone help?[Comment on this Posting]

The Palm Bay High Pirates take the field before a recent game. The Pirates face Bayside on Friday night.
- Filed Under
If the Bayside High Bears want to keep their uniforms out of storage beyond Nov. 9, they can do one of two things: hope for Melbourne High to defeat Heritage's football team on Friday or take care of things themselves by defeating Palm Bay.
The Pirates have never lost to Bayside, and they didn't lose the first and only game they've played against the Panthers last season.
Two years ago, the Bears played within a touchdown of Palm Bay and probably had a better collection of athletes. Better players don't necessarily make a better team, though. ...

Ravens are one of the most social, intelligent and clever birds on Earth. Similar in appearance to the crow but significantly larger, the raven has historically been both feared and revered by many cultures around the world. Edgar Allen Poe famously wrote about the bird in this poem "The Raven," and ravens have maintained a mysterious reputation across centuries as witnessed in common folklore. Still, how much do we know about these creatures in lieu of their iconic place in a spooky fable?
Recent studies have shown that ravens are remarkably intelligent — so much so in fact that they can recall friends or foes for years after an encounter. Markus Boeckle and Thomas Bugnyar from the University of Vienna found that ravens, are on par mentally with dolphins and great apes. Ravens, much like humans, memorize and categorize relationship bonds and affiliations with other animals.
They even have different calls based on association. For example, Boeckle and Bugnyar observed that strangers and foes received a harsh, unwelcoming call, whereas companions received a more welcoming greeting.
Clearly other animals have the ability to recall information, but what's particularly noteworthy about ravens is the fact that they recall cues for such extended periods of time and apply that knowledge to their behavior — for at least three years, but likely longer. In addition, the raven's ability to conduct logic games is also an impressive display of their intellect and recall ability. According to Scientific American, "Ravens have the ability to test actions in their minds [and] that capacity is probably lacking, or present only to a limited extent, in most animals."
Given all their remarkable traits, it's curious more people aren't in awe of ravens. On the contrary, most people tend to dislike them, or even loathe them. Perhaps it's psychological, or perhaps as a society we've grown apprehensive of a bird that not only scavenges, but is smart like us. Whatever the reason, ravens deserve at least more awareness for their remarkable traits, or possibly a bit less bad press.

Thank you ! Good idea - will buy the book from E E Poe.
does this mean that ravens don't share the similar characteristics to the crows?
They are the smartest birds! ...and smashingly beautiful too!
interesting article, thanks for sharing :)
We're fortunate to have ravens and crows where we live. The ravens are much more timid than the crows and much larger, which becomes apparent when the two species are together. We've managed to friend the crows-they look from a nearby tree each morning and peer into my kitchen window until I come out and toss them breakfast. The ravens, have a richer, throatier caw than the crows and we hear them much more often than see them as they stay off in the distance.
Just remember "Quote the Raven Nevermore" :-0
Ravens are beautiful intelligent creatures & have suffered predjudice following silly Human superstitions. Cats were feared & loathed in the past too. I think that all animals need to beware of US!!!
i think having a pet raven/crow would be neat or just sort having a wild one who that has become friendly to you.

Intriguing atmospheric five-piece from the vast remote plains of Stillwater, Oklahoma, led by gifted singer/composer and multi-instrumentalist bandleader, Jesse Tabish. The term 'chamber-pop' readily springs to mind, but Other Lives' music invokes everything from Philip Glass' dazzling minimalism to Morricone's dark epic sweep. Interweaving layer upon layer of intricately winding and pulsing orchestrations, their music enfold listeners in a world of melodies and textures reminiscent of Brian Wilson's daring 'Smile' period.

The Third Quarter 2003 Social Weather Survey was fielded August 30 to September 14, 2003, throughout the country. It used face-to-face interviews of 1,200 respondents divided into random samples of 300 each in Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Adults, aged 18 years and older, were asked their views on issues concerning the general topics of economics, governance, politics, diplomacy, and society, as well as issues of current public interest in the Philippines. The survey also gathers information from household heads about the members of the household and household characteristics.

Sumitomo Chemical reports huge net loss
May 15, 2013 | Deepti Ramesh
Sumitomo Chemical reports a net loss of ¥51 billion ($498 million) in the fiscal year ended 31 March compared with a net profit ¥5.58 billion in the previous fiscal year due to large extraordinary losses and an additional corporate tax adjustment with a reversal of deferred tax assets, Sumitomo says. Full-year sales increased 0.2%, to ¥1.95 trillion. The business environment for Sumitomo was very tough during the fiscal year because of a sharp decline in demand in Asia and other overseas markets as well as margin erosion and other factors, the company...

AAP hits out at HRD ministry over Teachers' Day issue
The AAP Tuesday criticised the human resource development (HRD) ministry over the Teachers' Day address by Prime Minister Narendra, terming the controversy in the issue "needless" and "unfortunate".
"It is unfortunate that the union human resources development (HRD) ministry has created a needless controversy over the Teachers' Day celebrations," the Aam Aadmi Party said in a statement.
HRD Minister Smriti Irani's statement that it was voluntary for students to listen to Modi's address and they would not be forced to be present in their schools between 3 and 5 p.m. has further led to confusion, it said.
The ministry needs to come clean on its advisory to states about making necessary arrangements for the telecast of the address in schools Sep 5, the statement said.

Upon Further Review 2014: Offense vs Appalachian State
FORMATION NOTES: Not a whole lot that was unusual. Michigan has changed the alignment of their backs in some shotgun sets:
I called this "shotgun deep" since the QB is still at 5 yards but the back is behind instead of parallel. I imagine they did this for the same reason the pistol exists: to give the back downhill momentum when he takes a handoff.
Conventional shotgun sets were frequent as well, as were split TEs. This is the first snap of the game and features Hill motioning from an H-back spot to the slot; he'll block for Funchess on a successful flanker screen.
Michigan would occasionally scrape up an I-Form out of whatever was laying around, like when Chesson motioned in here. This actually cut behind Chesson's force block to pick up 15.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: OL was Cole-Magnuson-Miller-Burzynski/Kalis-Braden the whole way. Gardner obviously QB until garbage time; he got pulled a couple drives before Michigan did much non-WR substitution.
Feature backs were Green and Smith with Hayes apparently a third down option; Drake Johnson only saw garbage carries and should no longer be considered a playing time contender going forward.
At WR it was Funchess, Chesson, Darboh, and Norfleet rotating approximately equally; Canteen did not get on until late. Bo Dever is your backup slot, apparently. Tight end was mostly Hill and Williams with a bit less Heitzman sprinkled in.

NOBODY TOLD US WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO THAT WAY LAST YEAR [Fuller]
I watched a lot of football on Saturday. I did not watch Magnolia because my then-girlfriend and current wife thought that her coping mechanism for sadness, which is apparently suffusing yourself in it until your fingers look like you've been in a pool of despair for hours, was applicable to humans. I mean:
That's what I did seven years ago. I had to turn it off because Magnolia is a movie that is unrelentingly miserable. I did not need additional resources in this department at that time.
I didn't turn anything off on Saturday. I watched twelve hours of football after getting back from Michigan Stadium. The only mention of Michigan's game before insomniac time was one dismissive sentence from Rece Davis, something about how there will not be "another seminal college football moment" this weekend. They didn't even take the opportunity to put gratuitous Funchess on the screen.
The only difference between this game and Michigan's opening-weekend romp over CMU last year: a nation's hope Michigan would blow it again. Once it became clear this would not be the case, a nation forgot the game happened before it had even ended. This was the best possible outcome.
So 1) hooray for the best possible outcome and 2) don't let that change your opinion about whether this was the dumbest scheduling decision in the history of scheduling decisions. The nation knew this about Michigan before Saturday: lol Appalachian State. This is what they know today: lol Appalachian State. On College Football Final their brief treatment of the game gave more time to 2007 than 2013. We are experiencing the maximum possible upside from this game, which is everyone immediately forgetting about it like Michigan was thumping a MAC opponent.
And thank God for that. Michigan eased out to a 21 point lead, and then it was suddenly 42, and at no point did Appalachian State look anything like a secret powerhouse; at no point did Michigan look so utterly clueless that they might blow their immense physical advantages. At no point did I wish I had a cyanide capsule handy.
So: hooray.
The one thing worth noting here is that Michigan does seem prepared to deal with the football reality of 2014. Greg Mattison's defense played in the face of the opposition all game long, featuring nickel and dime packages frequently. They shot a safety into the box on most plays. They've got the personnel they need to deal with the spread. Possibly two at once.
Contrast this to 2007, when Johnny Sears started at cornerback in the Horror, with a patently unprepared Stevie Brown at safety. The linebackers available outside of Shawn Crable were Obi Ezeh, Chris Graham, and John Thompson. Michigan spent the entire day with two safeties twelve yards deep like they were playing Peyton Manning, and were surprised when the numbers didn't work out. Their linebackers were two-down thumpers for whom space is a cold vacuum in which death awaits. They barely had one cornerback, let alone a chorus line of them.
A big chunk of my spread zealotry has been the fact that Michigan has made it look unstoppable from the drop. They validated the entire idea against Northwestern and set their program on fire in the Horror and the Post-Apocalyptic Oregon game that followed. Put a running quarterback in front of them and they will die explosively. It's happened far too often the last 15 years for it to be a coincidence.
My primary worry about Brady Hoke is that he's stuck on a vision of 1990s Michigan in a world that's evolved past that. There was no sign of that Saturday. The defense's radical makeover paired with what was not the cram-the-box cro-magnon ball it certainly could have been against this opponent felt a tiny bit like John Beilein overhauling his program to be a man-defense, ball-screen offense juggernaut.
I'm not looking for a juggernaut this year. This is the punch-the-cow-for-butter year in which any yellow semi-solid will do. I proclaim this semi-solid yellow, and thank God for that.
Now let us immediately forget this game ever happened, like everyone else.
Parkinggod's usual Michigan-centric one:
And if ten minutes isn't enough here are 20:
Also a guy noticed an eerie parallel between Blake Countess's LOS stick and one from Charles Woodson:
Brady Hoke Epic Double Points Of The Week. Yes, points. We're moving this to a hockey-like three stars system.
Michigan racked up 350 first half yards while holding App St to 60 en route to a 35-0 first half lead, so there are many, many candidates. It says here that Devin Funchess gets #1, because good Lord that is an unstoppable freak show.
#2 is Devin Gardner, who was on point with every throw except one, flashed that athletic ability, and stepped up (up!) in the pocket when suffering edge pressure
#3 is split between Kyle Kalis and Ben Braden. Michigan started gashing App St when Kalis replaced Joey Burzynski, with big runs repeatedly coming over the right side of the line.
Honorable mention: Basically the entire defense. There were no particular standouts, though.
Epic Double Point Standings.
3: Devin Funchess (#1, APP)
2: Devin Gardner (#2, APP)
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.
Michigan had gotten a couple of solid 10-20 yard runs from Smith and Green already when Green took the snap on an outside zone and shot downfield untouched by man or beast until 60 yards had elapsed. Runs. We may have them.
Honorable mention: They threw a screen to Norfleet! Any of the variously unstoppable Funchess touchdowns. Hellacious Stiffarm wins by a nose over LOL I'm Tall. Tacosack, hopefully the awesome thumping cousin of Tacopants.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
AppSt: Derrick Green rumbles for 60 yards.
MARCUS HALL EPIC DOUBLE BIRD OF THE WEEK. That one time Devin Gardner threw way behind a blitheringly open Devin Funchess to prevent him from going 14/14.
Honorable mention: That one drive where the Mountaineers drove the ball on the ground against the second team.

starters arbitrarily decided to be people who started at least 7 games
I apologize. Last year's edition of this post started with an assertion that "things almost literally can't be worse." It wasn't sunshine…
The way this went down gives some reason for concern. … Michigan [will be] starting at least one player by default. Michigan saw what "by default" can lead to last year. While that isn't likely to recur, neither does the situation promise an amazing one-year turnaround.
…but I didn't recommend that you find a bunker and stock up on pudding pops. Last year did not recur. It went the other direction, hard.
In 2012, Michigan decided to flip their left guard to center on the eve of the season. In 2013, they got four games in before making the switch. Things were already bad. That switch made them worse, not so much because of what was happening at center—Graham Glasgow established himself a pretty good player over the course of the year—but what was happening everywhere else.
Specifically, what was happening around him. The Bentley Library lists starters through the years and one glimpse at left guard shows you the chaos:
A 6'1" walk-on got a start. A true freshman got three. A guy who retired after the season because he couldn't get breakfast without injuring himself got two. A 285-pound redshirt freshman got the other three. Reality mowed them all down, and by the end of the year the pile of skulls around the OL was not the enemy but Michigan itself.
Then their starting tackles went in the first three rounds of the NFL draft. Have fun storming the castle!
Rating: 1 of 5
I mean, maybe it'll work out. Maybe this rating will seem very silly at the end of the year, an overreaction to past events that was not a good prognostication of the future. I dearly hope this is the case. Gardner claimed he'd been sacked once during fall camp. It could happen!
Unfortunately, I can't make a reasonable case that you should expect much other than problems. Michigan has zero (ZERO) upperclassmen. The projected left tackle is a true freshman. The projected right tackle was supposed to be the starter at left guard last year but got pulled from the lineup after spring practice. He was not an option during the anarchy when literally every other OL on the roster was. Backing these guys up are two redshirt freshman who were huge projects and are still that. Oh, and the starting guards.
Maybe it will all work out. These guys are universally touted recruits, after all. If only that meant very much on the OL.
He blocked Clark! Probably! It's a still shot! [Bryan Fuller]
Might as well start with the big flashing DANGER sign: MASON COLE [recruiting profile], true freshman, is your starting left tackle. This was all fun and games in spring when Erik Magnuson was out, but things got very real very fast this fall and the guy hasn't moved from LT since his arrival and campus and Brady Hoke is just like…
"Who knows what will happen. You ask me today? Yeah, he would start. We're not at Aug. 30 yet. But he's more ready than most freshmen are."
…so he's the guy.
Since he's a true freshman I don't have anything more on him than exists in the recruiting profile published about a month ago, which notes that 1) the entire world offered him early, 2) he was possibly the most polished guy at the UA game…
it was clear that the Michigan commit was one of the most polished and skilled offensive line prospects on the East squad. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound Cole projects as an offensive guard long-term, but we aren't so sure he could not be an excellent tackle in Ann Arbor during his college career.
…3) that he has the requisite athleticism and knee bend to be effective on the edge:
He is very athletic and plays with a lot of energy. Cole is able to bend and play low, giving him the leverage advantage over most opponents, though he needs to do so more consistently.
Cole is quick out of his stance and climbs to the second level using good angles. His feet allow him to play with good balance, which helps him not overextend for defenders.
All of this is great and Cole's trajectory is great; beating Magnuson inside authoritatively when Michigan seems to have a ton of guard bullets is impressive and there has been zero waver in any of this from day one. This is the profile of a guy who is going to be a draft pick very easily. We can discard the usual caveats about high school OL profiles because he has blown past all expectations immediately. Hooray for the long term.
This year? I don't know man. Let's check out
Well, here's a thing: mighty Alabama is putting freshman Cameron Robinson out as their starter this fall. The slight difference: Robinson is a Peppers-level prospect, in fact ranked one spot ahead of him on the 247 composite. At 323 he's less of a size question than Cole.
In terms of guys who did play:
- Oregon State started Sean Harlow at right tackle. The Beavers were middling in pass protection… and 109th in YPC.
- Virginia played Eric Smith, also at right tackle. UVA was also middling in pass protection… and 91st in YPC.
- Maryland managed to start true freshman left tackles in consecutive years(!). Mike Madaras left abruptly after his first year, paving the way for Moise Larose to get four starts before a foot injury ended his year. Larose is now suspended for 2014. Feel the Terpitude. The 2012 Terps were completely terrible in all line-related stats; last year they were okay at pass protection.
- Virginia Tech started Jonathan McLaughlin all last year, and I don't even have to look their stats up to know they were a tire fire. Aaand yup: 99th and worse.
- Ole Miss started Laremy Tunsil, a Robinson-level five star. Mississippi was… okay! 42nd in YPC, 74th in sacks allowed.
So… that's not at all encouraging. Cole was a much more highly touted prospect than all of those guys save Tunsil, at least, and he 1) enrolled early and 2) came from one of those super serious Florida high schools that are almost college programs in their own right. Also the way he was the LT starter from about a week into spring without challenge is a hopeful sign.
The occasional freshman tackle can cope. I think Cole is one of those guys. But is he going to blow a guy off the ball and provide a big ol' lane at 292 pounds? Probably not. Our hope here is that Cole is a solid, agile pass protector in year one who is a meh run blocker. Chances are he has a wake-up call or two coming.

Monday Presser Transcript 8-25-14: Doug Nussmeier
Obviously your first game is this week. Just your overall thoughts- the offensive line is always a topic and you guys have a lot of good competition at running back. Just your overall thoughts on what you're expecting Saturday.
"Well, I think we've progressed. We talked about coming out of the spring and as we started fall camp it needed to be practice #16 for us and it was and we've gotten better each and every practice. Now, you're not going to see it all of the time. We're not where we need to be as a whole unit. We get it right in spurts. The biggest thing right now is to find consistency in performance across the board but like you said, the one thing we have been able to do is create competition across the board and we are getting better."
Is there a spot where you see a lot of competition at? Or you said you guys have it in spurts, where are you guys lacking and where are you guys doing well?
"Well, I think across positions you can see it at every position and we find that we can do things very, very well when we do them well and we go in stretches where we play together and we play well together and then we'll have either a unit or an individual break down and that's the part about playing football and playing at a very, very high level. You've got to have consistency and everybody doing the right thing on every play."
I don't know if you've noticed but people are a little apprehensive of the offensive line and I wonder if your feeling from when you first got here until now, if that has changed and how much it's changed because I assume you were somewhat apprehensive as well.
"Well, I've said it many times but there seems to be a focus on a unit on every team, a strength here or a weakness there. A lot of that's perception, too. You talk about a quarterback position, for example. If a quarterback's not being protected a lot of times it doesn't look like he's playing very well when at the end of the day it doesn't really fall on the quarterback. When you look at an offensive line group there's a lot of things that play into it. A lot of it has to do with the backs and the running game, making sure they hit the right hole, it has to do with the quarterback getting us into the right play so that we can get good angles for blocking schemes, it has to do with receivers winning at the line of scrimmage in press coverage so that the quarterback can get the ball out in time so that we're not holding the ball so there's a lot of factors that play into each and every group and that's why it is a team game. Every unit we have takes pride in how they play and we all demand that each unit does their job and I wouldn't expect anything less."
We saw that Derrick Green is at the top of the running back depth chart. What did he do in the last week or two to put himself there and separate himself?
"I think it's been the overall body of work through camp and everything we try to do. We tell the players there's going to be evidence-based decisions by what you put on film and what you do on a day-to-day basis and Derrick continually progressed and he continues to progress. Like I said before, as an offense and even at that position we're nowhere near where we need to be or where we want to be but as far as when you look at the process of getting better each and every day and how you approach the day and he's just continued to get better each and every day. We've talked a lot about his weight as he came into camp and that's been one of the biggest things. He looks like a different back."
What are your thoughts about the wide receivers? It seems like that's a position group of strength, a lot of depth there. Is there any particular guy that stood out to you or just your thoughts on the receivers?
"Well, obviously [Devin] Funch[ess], his production speaks for itself. Very, very talented player. Like we talked about, you want to create depth and competition at every position and we feel like we have a good talent base there. A lot of different guys that can do different things and the goal will be ultimately to keep guys fresh and put guys in the right position where they can make plays."
[After THE JUMP: more on the running backs, Devin Gardner's growth, and all aboard the Mason Cole hype train]
Fall Camp Presser 8-20-14: Brady Hoke
News bullets and other items:
Today's starting offensive line would be Mason Cole- LT; Erik Magnuson- LG; Jack Miller- C; Burzynski/Bosch/Kalis- RG; Ben Braden- RT
Jabrill Peppers will start at nickel but has picked up the defense fast enough that he's taking some snaps at boundary corner
Hoke can't remember Devin Funchess dropping a single pass in fall camp which, like, eeeeee
Derrick Green and DeVeon Smith are considered the downhill backs, while Drake Johnson and Justice Hayes are the third-down backs
Preparation for that game on the 30th against that one team begins Thursday
Brady Hoke "Well,…" count: 6
Opening remarks:
"Thanks for coming out. I think we haven't spoken to each other since Saturday. We've had good practices, good energy, good competition. I think that's one thing we've talked about every time is to compete and challenge each other and I think this team has done that. I think there's leadership throughout the team in all classes which has been good to see. If you're good enough, you're old enough and that's been part of what we talked about. I think that's very good. Starting to get...we are starting to get prepared for Appalachian State here in the next couple days. We'll do some things with switch [?] teams and really have some good competition with that part of it and also keep the speed of how we want to play the game, so there will always be situational ones on ones, twos on twos. Tomorrow is Tuesday, the next day is Wednesday and Saturday is a Thursday how we look at it and next week we'll take Sunday and do some walk-throughs, get the tape reviewed. Next Tuesday will be a Tuesday, Wednesday will be a Wednesday, and Thursday will be Thursday so you've got to figure it out on my end sometimes. But it's been a good camp. I guess we'll break on Saturday morning – about 1 PM on Saturday after we go up to the stadium, have a good practice there. We'll do a lot of game rehearsal things, trying to put the players in situations that they will be in. I think that's important. So… excited. I think we're all excited. Are we ready? Not yet, so we have a lot of work ahead of us but at the same time I like how we go about our business every day."
You said this was the day you start preparing for App State. Do you have a set offensive line?
"Well, I think there's still some competition but I think Ben Braden has been a very steady performer at right tackle. I think Mason Cole has been very, very steady at the left tackle position. I always get asked – not just by you guys but Mason Cole, you don't notice him so you don't notice any mistakes. He's not a guy who's been a guy who killed plays and that's the kind of stuff… Jack will be the center, Kugler will back him up. We'll be without Graham as you all know. Mags will be the left guard if we were playing today and at the right guard I think there's good competition. Joe Burzynski, Kyle Bosch, Kalis is getting work at both guards, he's just getting back into things yesterday so I think we're still– I have an idea, but I don't think we're set at that right guard position right now."
What did the film from Saturday show you as far as the offensive line goes?
"You know, there were some holes and there were some holes we have to take advantage of and there's also times where the back's got to make it right, you know, quarterback drifting out of his ball handling knocks a back out of his A gap. We had some of those. Still not enough of them. We still got to move the line of scrimmage better and that's a constant that we'll have. I thought that yesterday the backs did a nice job. I think that Fred [Jackson] definitely had an effect on how they need to approach it and so I think we're making really good progress there."
To clarify something from Saturday, did you say that in a 4-3 defense, your base, Jabrill [Peppers] would be a corner and then slide into the nickel spot?
"Yeah, I mean he would slide inside. We're going to really try and make sure that he's set at the nickel before we get too far out there being a boundary corner. I mean, we played him at boundary corner some the other night with the first group. There's some things that are different when you're playing one-third than when you're playing a nickel position so right now, yes, he's playing some corner but we are going to focus in on nickel with him in there."
You said that you wanted him just to be practicing in one position to get really comfortable there. What have you seen out of him that you feel comfortable, obviously, giving him more responsibility?
"Well, he's learned fast. I think the way he's engrossed himself in the playbook. I think from a fundamental/technique standpoint he's come a long way. Just think he's done a nice job overall."
[After THE JUMP: sorting out the running back situation, Devin Gardner's leadership, and my inaugural MGoQuestion]
Post-Scrimmage Presser 8-16-14: Brady Hoke
News bullets and other items:
- Jabrill Peppers at corner looks like it's happening. For now he's at nickel, but all evidence points to him eventually usurping one of the corner's spots.
- Boo-boo watch: Kyle Kalis [back] and Ty Isaac [stinger] should be back Monday
- Derrick Green was the #1 running back heading into the scrimmage
- Expect to see lots of two (or more) tight end sets from the offense this season. /sighs
- Hoke was again impressed by Mason Cole
- The defense is ahead of the offense, which Hoke says is typically the case
- Starters on both sides of the ball should be figured out by Wednesday or Thursday
- Brady Hoke "Well, …" count: 11
Opening remarks:
"Number one, thanks for coming out. Thought it was a good atmosphere for our team to be in front of, environment, I think that's important. We probably went a little longer than I thought we would but I knew my math and plays and play count, I knew we'd go a little over and I think we did. There were some negative plays in there that we've got to still clean up. Some of it is up front and I really think some of it today- we've got to have better vision in the back and so from that standpoint offensively. From a defensive standpoint I thought they got after it. Too many penalties. The PI rules are going to be called, probably, a little closer in this league. We had a little bit too much, where a guy got grabbed too much or didn't move his feet well enough, those kind of things. But that's why you do what we did. Some negative plays with some penalties breaks your rhythm a little bit and you don't like that but we need to coach off of it, teach off of it, educate off of it and keep working forward. Can't complain about what these guys have done to this point, and we know we've got two weeks. This will be good to learn from for everybody and we'll start really focusing in Wednesday with Appalachian State."
You mentioned just getting them out there and getting them reps. How big do you think it is just for the freshman? They see the environment, they're here, was that kind of the main...
"Well, that's important. Then there are guys who are redshirt freshman or third-year sophomores who haven't played a lot but to get out, come down the tunnel – most of those guys, the only time they've been down the tunnel was on their visit or for games when they came as visitors and so going out there with that winged helmet on, going out there to have a big stake in what we're trying to get done I think is pretty significant. I think that helps."
Defense seemed to get the better of the offense in the running game. Have you seen more progress in the running game then we saw tonight?
"Yeah, yeah. The other night we ran the ball pretty well. Again, you can't play well one Saturday and not as well the next so there's another lesson of consistency there. Yeah, the defense I thought – and to be honest with you, they should. There's more veterans over there, more guys with game experience. I think defense always, to some degree, gets always a little ahead of the offense and it's been like that forever but we need to catch up offensively pretty fast."
You mentioned the vision of the backs you want improved but offensive line-wise, can you think of anything that's kind of keeping them from turning a corner?
"No, I don't think you can pinpoint anything particular. You've got to play with good leverage, you've got to be positive with your footwork, your hips have got to get down the field, and you've got to face blocks. I mean, it sounds easy but when you've got a defense that- we move a lot, we blitz a lot, it puts a little more pressure on them."
You mentioned on Sunday your primary depth chart at running back at that point without [Justice] Hayes. How's he been doing out there or how'd he do this week?
"Well, I think he's had a good week. Again, I don't know if any of them tonight in my opinion – again, this is without watching the tape but I think we've got to keep improving there and keep seeing things a little better."
You have two weeks to go. Your level of concern with the offensive line and the running game?
"Well, let me say this. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about all of our football team. You know, that's just being a coach. Do we need to improve still? There's no question about it. I think the running game, like I said, the other day we ran the ball pretty well."

Shooting spree sparks worry - 0 Comments
Four wounded Thursday, Friday
Officials, residents, and community activists are sounding the alarm after a spate of shootings in Dorchester and Mattapan over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, fearing the long hot summer may be particularly violent this year.
"Enough is enough," said City Councilor Tito H. Jackson, whose district includes Roxbury and parts of Dorchester. "We have to make sure that we use all available resources to nip this surge in the bud."
