Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

From the opening scene to the last credit, you won't be able to tear your eyes from the screen. Tilda Swinton, the star and focus of this film, is perfect in the role of a woman trying to protect her family from tragedy while maintaining her daily routine.
A brief summary: Her adolescent son has been piecked up by a manipulative man and then the man tries to blackmail the boy's mother for money. Afterwards, he dies in cirucmstances that make the boy a possible suspect - although he is, in fact, innocent (I'm not giving anything away here; all of this is revealed early on in the movie).
Swinton is calmly focused (most of the time), single-mindedly determined in her quest to hold everything together in the face of nearly insurmountable odds. She is equally determined to make sure her family - son, 2 daughter, elderly father-in-law - aren't aware of what is going on, of the tragedy that took place within minutes of their front doorstep. Meanwhile, her life is changing but not in ways she could have foreseen. In spite of her best efforts, she can't control everything.
Watching Swinton juggle all her everyday duties (cooking, cleaning, keeping the kids organized and on time for school and after school activities) while dealing with the burden of hiding a body, covering up the evidence and keeping everyone in the dark, I couldn't help marveling at her apparent selflessness in the face of so much and at her incredible ability to fool those around her.
This movie is one of the best of the year.Read more ›
Tilda Swinton, who played the main character in this movie, was breathtaking. I haven't been as inspired by a performance since I saw Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth", and those of you who have known me for a while understand just how blown away I was by Swinton. Why isn't she in a million films?!
I'm reading a lot of personal reviews on the internet and it seems like most people don't agree with my glowing review of "The Deep End", which is a shame. Even thought the critics tended to really like it, more films like it won't be made unless the audience responds well. I guess it requires some patience to watch, although to me the film just flew by. You are required to believe in the character's desperation and love for her child, which is what drives the movie. I can't believe people this film isn't resonating more with people who have children. I don't, but I could actually feel the fierce nature of a mother's - and the fact she would do *anything* to protect her child from harm.
If you have a chance, go see it. Even with all that is going on in my life, I was enveloped in this movie. I just lost track of everything else and just got absorbed in it- the colors, the sounds, the emotions, the intensity.

text: Introduction Welcome to my tutorial for my big cube method, otherwise known as sandwich (or r4) sandwich is my variation of the cage method. The first cage method I learnt was from here: www.helm.lu/cube/solutions/revenge/ I have modeled my variation after this very method by Denny Dedmore. A rough overview of my method (or variation): 1. First 2 centers 2. Corners (with ortega) 3. Finish R and L faces 4. Middle edges in 2 phases. 5. Final Centers I do not claim authorship of this method; I believe that many have come up with a similar variations. This method is no more than an optimization of Denny's solution, a hybrid method with a touch of everything else. By naming my variation "r4", I am paying tribute to a method that I admire, otherwise known as k4, created by Thom Barlow. Someone had suggested me the name sandwich, and I liked the name so much it shall be the official name of the method =P Many thanks to Frederick Badie for his OLL and double parity algorithms, Lucas Garron for his 2-cycle parity algorithm, Kenneth for the ELL3 algorithms of his KBCM and other cage-friendly algorithms he has provided me with, and also Marc Waterman and Francois Courtes for some of their algorithms. Credits go to Per Kristen Fredlund for his guidance as well, and also Mike Bennett for inspiring me through that one tiny post on speedsolving that ultimately led me to change my middle edges method. Last but not least, I would like to thank Lars Vandenbergh for his wonderful Imagecube which I used to generate the 4x4x4 images, Joel van Noort for his NxN imagecube which I used to generate the 5x5x5 images, and Werner Randelshofer for his wonderful cube applets. For the generation of algorithms, I used Ron's Cube Solver, optimal444, and ACube by Ron van Bruchem, Clement Gallet, and Josef Jelinek respectively; I would like to express my gratitude to them as well. History of this variationI first started 4x4ing by learning Dedmore's solution sometime in July 2007. 2 weeks after that I adapted the solution to the 5x5. After more experiences with the 4x4, I realized that I do not need to put each edge cubie individually for the first 7 dedges, as it is really really slow, so over a long time I found all the shortest solutions I could find for solving a dedge at a time. After much practice, I had my first sub 2 (1:26.xx) in January 2008, and then a sub 2 average followed.By May 2008 I found it hard for myself to improve; my solves were inconsistent, and times ranged from 1:30s to high 1:50s, or even over 2 minutes. My real average was around 1:50. I posted a thread on speedsolving.com, and Mike Bennett replied about his Roux by 4 method. I adopted his idea for the middle edges, learned most of the algs (about 11-13), and found that my timings cut by at least 10s after a day. My first average was only barely sub 2 with it, but by the end of the day I was at the 1:40s already. More practice brought me down to sub 1:30, with FU's (Hoe Tze Han) advice on slowing down and lookahead...without lookahead this method would be a complete fail. Before the Singapore Open 2008, I decided to optimize the way I solve the last dedge of the R and L faces, and wrote out all the algorithms I can find in about an hour or less. =D Before that it was very primitive, so using this I cut about 2-4 seconds depending on cases. I still use the very same algorithms to this day. They are probably not optimal, but at least they are fingertrickable and they are quite fast anyway.My rubik's died on me after the Singapore Open, and I gave up 4x4 solving (for like 3 months) until the new Meffert's brand 4x4 came to town! :D This was around the time I realized that centre control with solving the last 2 dedges can be done. Before that I was using mainly Kenneth's ELL3 algs from his Kenneth's Big Cube Method, which do not affect centres at all. I learned all the relevant algorithms of the Waterman Big Cube Method and also some of the algs Kenneth gave me through PM on speedsolving. This doubled the number of algorithms I know for the last 2 dedges =D. My times are around 57s +/- 3 (with warm-up, duh. My best average, 10 out of 12 solves, was 52.69 though.), and my non-lucky record (full-step) is 42.83s with a little luck, and my next best time which isn't really lucky is 47.80s. I am still optimizing the system; and will continue to update this tutorial when I have new inspiration. Have fun with my tutorial! email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you encounter any problems, or have any questions on my system. If I have time I will post a small tutorial on a system that only really needs you to memorive 5 algs (excluding intuitive ones which do not need memorization) to solve the 4x4..basically a primitive form of this system.Some notes of my notation: small letters denote slice moves, big letters denote face moves, and moves within a parenthesis denote moves that can be done together in one turn. I use a black body tiled Meffert's 4x4x4. This website works best with Opera and Mozilla Firefox. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3a Step 3b Step 4a Step 4b Step 5 r5 r5 centres

| Irishchicatee chapter 1 . 10/14/2015
everything about this series is amazing. loved it frim start to you'd update with Sam going to Atlantic and the hammond.
| Guest chapter 1 . 8/31/2015
Just finished your entire DC series and I don't even know where to begin. Saying "great job" just doesn't do your writing justice. This whole series was so believable. Even though we all love fluffy fiction where Jack and Sam live happily ever after, your stories convey how I really believe it all went down. These two carry way too much baggage not to have some bumps in the road, even though we all know they end up together in the end. And I don't think they would have gotten together until this point in the series either. Looking forward to seeing more stories from you. You truly have a gift.
| SpyAgent001 chapter 1 . 3/17/2015
Ah man, that last line of dialogue was funny.
It was a nice way to put it all together. I had forgotten how all of it had started! It was also nice to see how everything had been put together. It makes me want to go back and put things in order in my mind again. I love how the notes were put in Sam's office...
Teal'c - hilarious as always.
Loved it! Written well and very funny with plenty of other good character developments.
| trekkifulron chapter 1 . 5/27/2014
Great series. I'm left wanting more.
| DrawnToTheRhythm chapter 1 . 1/14/2013
Fantastic story! Very well characterised :)
P.s. 'soldier's daughter' always reminded me of Sam, it suits the description of her personal life so well and there's a hint of Jack in there too
| Athena13 chapter 1 . 11/7/2012
that was so great! Love that it was Daniel watching them. Finally getting a clue. Involved.
| nicimac chapter 1 . 9/19/2011
Loved it. I missed this when you first posted it and now need to go back and re-read the rest of the DC series now as there were a few bits I'd forgotton. I think Daniels' interaction with them and their relationship is perfectly in keeping with the series and I LOVE the washing up ending. How on Earth did you manage to make washing up romantic?
Thank you and more please
| TriggerTrogger chapter 1 . 8/11/2011
I just recently started reading SG fanfic, and I have to say I love this series. It's a great portrayal of how their relationship would evolve, never getting all mushy like some do, which I just can't see as realistic.
One question though: am I missing something with regards to part 10 near the end when Jack gets Daniel to distract Sam so he can get into her office? I don't remember a corresponding part in the rest of the series. Maybe a sign you have another part planned?
| dearest penny lane chapter 1 . 6/27/2011
twoooo years later and she continues!
i liked the end mostly cause it was the fluffiest part. more fluff, please? although the angst was good too.
| Lutherian chapter 1 . 6/9/2011
I liked it.
| Gen Varel chapter 1 . 6/8/2011
I enjoyed this story as much as any other of yours. I just love how you write!
| dpdp chapter 1 . 6/7/2011
Beautiful. Thanks.

Twins Tim and Will White told they're too fat to fly Southwest Airlines to Minneapolis
Twin brothers Tim and Will White had never flown the friendly skies. So they were completely thrilled when they finally got their big chance on Thanksgiving Day.
The White brothers arrived at the Chicago airport hours early, waiting with bated breath for their flight to Minneapolis.
But minutes before they were supposed to board, Southwest Airlines cruelly pulled the plug and told Tim he was too fat for his seat.
Tim swallowed this embarrassing news as graciously as he could: he quickly called his aunt in St. Paul to get her credit card number so that he could purchase a second seat. There were plenty of open seats on the flight, after all.
But Southwest said they couldn't sell the ticket by phone--because, according to KARE-11, the Whites might be trying to fake them out with a bad credit card number.
And the helpful gate agent refused to just solve the problem by letting Tim sit near one of the many empty seats on the flight.
So the poor brothers White had to take an overnight bus to Minneapolis.
Instead of arriving on Thanksgiving Day as planned, they missed the big festivities and arrived the day after.
The Whites are taking the high road, focusing on how it would have been nice for the airline to let them know the policy ahead of time, KARE-11 reports:
"If they would have told us when we first got there we'd have enough time to buy the ticket and fix everything that was going wrong," Tim said. "But instead we had to hurry up and make other plans at the last minute."
The airline did apologize, refund the tickets, and give the family a travel voucher.
And it turns out that Tim got his big adventure after all: he bought a second seat for the trip back to Chicago and flew the not-so-friendly skies for the very first time.

Local Area:
Locals are very friendly and businesses always welcome students. However, without a car, your shopping and food options are limited to the town of Amherst and the stops along the PVTA bus line. Amherst is a typical small town with a great charm to it, but if you're from a large city, you may not find the town meets your needs or expectations.
Local Area:
Amherst town is beautiful. Seriously. The entire area. Everything you could want is decently close by and if I could live here forever I probably would.
Local Area:
towns folk are very accommodating and kind to us college students.
Local Area:
The town of Amherst definitely has a very college-town feel, which is reasonable, considering there are like 50,000 college students living in the area. No matter what, however, you're still in the middle of a small town in western Massachusetts, so you'll have to temper your expectations accordingly. The food around here is good, but not great. There's a large mall nearby, so shopping is pretty good, and a free bus system runs through all of the colleges in the area.
Local Area:
Amherst itself is a nice little town with many families and college professors/staff, as well as a lovely library and town green with many local activities each week and weekend. The greatest boon to attending Amherst, however, is the Five-College Consortium -- the ability to take classes at any of the other four colleges in the region (three liberal arts colleges and one state university, all with very different offerings), and to have such easy access and proximity to the other college campuses and towns. Northampton in particular, which houses Smith College, is a more bustling alternative to Amherst with better music venues and nightlife.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There is not much in Amherst outside of the College. Amherst is the epitome of a college town. Main Street is right next the College, and there you'll find CVS, Starbucks, Fleet Bank, as well as various local shops. The people are, by and large, nice to a degree that stupefies most students from New York City, and you can't walk down the street without a complete stranger nodding and saying hello. The place visibly caters to both UMass and Amherst students. Testimonials to this are the numerous restaurants and pubs on Main Street, and the various sales and special offers that every business owner puts out on the store window. In September, they hang signs that say "Welcome students!!!!!!," complete with all the exclamation points.
Northampton is a 30-minute free bus ride away. It's a town bigger than Amherst and, as such, it is bubblier and livelier. The selection of bars and general hangouts is broader in Northampton than in Amherst, and there are also dance clubs for those who like to get down every once in a while. All in all, Amherst students will generally opt to stay on campus on weekends for two main reasons. First, the drinking age is 21, and Massachusetts cops take the law nitpickingly seriously. Second, and more importantly, the best parties usually happen at the College. Students from Smith and Holyoke (which are, and just simply stating facts, all-girl schools) flock over here for parties, and there is usually is a respectable representation of UMass students, as well. Amherst seniors do go out to bars in town, but the fact remains that nobody ever comes to Amherst because of the town itself.

Recent Rancho Mirage reviews
"The owners of this condo are gracious & friendly. Prior to our arrival they sent us detailed instructions which facilitated our entry & exit. Upon arrival they welcomed us with flowers & fruit. The cleaning service had thoroughly prepared for us. The well equipped condo has a comfortable King bed and an expansive L.R. with sofa & chairs. Especially enjoyed the open s. w. facing patio with views of the mountains. Sunrise county club is a beautiful property within a golf course as part of the grounds. After our month there, the owners were prompt in returning our deposit. A great place to enjoy Rancho Mirage and vicinity."Guest: Joseph & Janet Date of Stay: November 2015 Review Submitted: December 18, 2015View listing
"We came with 3 of our grown children and two others popped in to visit. The house was so nice--very comfortable and great location--had everything we needed to make meals and enjoy the facilities. The golf cart was a blast--the tennis courts and pool beautiful. The view of the grounds/mountains was so pretty. Our little dog loved it too. Can't imagine a better stay--thank you, thank you, thank you. Very gracious hosts. Can't wait to come back."Guest: T.L. Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: May 2, 2016View listing
"Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 weeks stay & hated to leave. This condo has everything to enjoy your stay. Beds were very comfy, kitchen is very well outfitted & location overlooking 3rd hole of golf course gives hours of enjoyment relaxing on the bright, sunny patio. Angela was always very prompt answering any questions. Overall it was a "5 star" experience!"Guest: Laurie F. Date of Stay: February 2016 Review Submitted: March 10, 2016View listing
"We had a wonderful time staying at Pat & Hal's condo. The photos match the clean, well decorated, and perfect layout for privacy for all three bedrooms and living areas. Great location in RM just off Frank Sinatra central to the desert cities and activities. Pat & Hal were both gracious hosts, and made themselves available if needed. Pat sent photos of the kitchen wares in prep for packing, quite nice. I left my laptop AC adapter which Hal promptly mailed back to me the next day. The pool/jacuzzi was literally a 1 minute walk away, and the main pool was great for serious lap swimming in warm water. We hope to come back again."Guest: Lois Date of Stay: November 2015 Review Submitted: December 11, 2015View listing

Unverified Voracity Has A Desk Full Of Cans
Bo. Via MGoVideo:
Playoff bits. So now the Big Ten is saying "screw playoffs altogether." Jim Delany is advocating for the four best teams in any playoff that does occur, and everyone hates the system of voting we have in place now. Delany:
"Everybody recognizes that the present poll system is not a good proxy," he said. "It's flawed, it's not transparent, it has people who have a stake in the outcome voting, it measures teams before they play a game."
I hope Bill Hancock has a fainting couch.
At this point it's clear that most fans don't have the same priorities in mind as the people in charge of the leagues they're fans of—see SEC expansion—and arguing with them on the internet is pointless. It's like trying to communicate with sentient mushrooms. Their desires are so alien that attempting to comprehend them leads to you shooting railguns at a distant planet for no reason other than fear.
Whatever happens, we can be assured that everyone was in favor of it at some point. Even the generally sober folks employed by actual newsgathering organizations are getting peeved at this point. Adam Rittenberg:
"A computer doesn't have an eye," Delany said. "So an eye test is missing if there is an injury" or other issues with a contender. Delany also said the impetus for change is that the BCS "has been battered and criticized" and treated "like a piñata" for the past 15 years. So to reiterate: The Big Ten's No. 1 preference would be to keep a current system that everybody hates and which uses a totally bankrupt formula to select its teams. Gotcha.
Sentient mushrooms, man.
IRONY EXPLODE. Dave Brandon, one of the Big Ten's most prominent complainers about a playoff:
"Every change I have ever proposed has been met with resistance," Brandon told the crowd… "I don't care what it is, any change that's been proposed, this has been a culture that wants to resist it, because we all want to go back to the way it was when we were there because that's friendly and that's comfortable."
Notice how he switches back to "I" from "we" when he's talking about all the great stuff he does and not the fact that six different uniforms in a season may have been a tiny bit excessive.
No move. UConn's AD has restated that the Huskies will not move their return game scheduled for next year from their home field. That's fine by me but now the UConn bloggers are looking at the $2 million buyout clause and wondering if the game will ever be played. I'd guess it will since there's not a whole lot of time to find a suitable replacement, but Brandon's had occasional grumbles about the indignity of playing at such a place since he arrived.
UConn's ace in the hole may be their athletic director. They hired Michigan alum Warde Manuel away from Buffalo, so Michigan may be more willing to go through with things.
Incoming pointage. Those Indiana junior/senior All-Star scrimmages have kicked off and the first one featured a lot of the above-pictured activities. Glenn Robinson III was 9 of 10 from the field en route to leading his team in scoring. He also added seven rebounds in 22 minutes. Junior rep Zak Irvin was his team's leading scorer as well, though he didn't shoot as well as GRIII.
Pee and flee. A couple of OSU players are suspended indefinitely—or at least until they pick up their whatever misdemeanor plea bargains—for urinating on the side of a building, then taking off when the cops arrived:
Police in Shawnee Hills, Ohio, a Columbus suburb, spotted the two players and a third man not connected to the football team early Saturday urinating outside a restaurant near Stoneburner's house, located just off the course at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
Collins said the men dashed away when they saw a spotlight, unknowing it belonged to police. He said Mewhort and Stoneburner stopped about 40 yards away from the restaurant and did not attempt to hide.
This is not interesting—it's no defensive tackle Dukes of Hazzard attempt. I just wanted to call it "pee and flee." BONUS: these guys were peeing on the side of a building mere feet from a thicket dense enough to hide in. Sounds like they need to take OSU's Andy Katzenmoyer Memorial Drunken Decisionmaking 101.
Kind of good. A re-rank of the top 100 basketball prospects from last year finds Trey Burke in rarefied air:
5. Trey Burke, Michigan (84)
Along with Cody Zeller, Burke was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and second team All-Conference. He and Zeller are also, comfortably, the top two freshmen returning to school this fall. Burke came out of nowhere (or, at least, the "obscurity" of the non-McDonald's All-American section of the ESPNU Top 100) to be a superstar do-it-all point guard for an NCAA tournament No. 4 seed. He scored often, he scored efficiently, he passed, and he took care of the basketball. The Wolverines' round of 64 loss to Ohio shouldn't alter the fact that Burke had a fabulous season. Michigan returns their three key players from 2012 and adds a pair of recruits capable of making an immediate impact. There's a reason expectations for 2013 are high.
Cody Zeller is the only guy higher than him who will be in college next year.
Like Coke, but fast. Drake Johnson tells a delightfully weird story about Fred Jackson to Kyle Meinke:
"I'm sitting in his office, and there was a fridge right over there, and he's like, 'You hungry?'" Johnson said. "I'm like, 'No man, I'm not hungry.' So he's like, 'OK, I'm going to grab myself a Coke.' So he grabs himself a Coke and he sits down.
"He takes maybe two sips, and he's like, 'Hey Drake, you want something to drink?' And I'm like, 'No, I'm still good.' He's like, 'I think I'm going to get myself an orange juice.' I'm like, 'Dude, you have a Coke in front of you.' He says, 'It's fine.'
"So I'm sitting there, and maybe two minutes later, he's like, 'I think I'm going to get myself a drink,' and I'm like, 'Coach, you already got two drinks in front of you, man! Your thirst can be quenched by what's in front of you.'
"He says, 'I'm just going to grab myself some water. You want some water?' And I'm like, "Nooo, I have Gatorade in my hand, guy. It's fine.'"
My thirst cannot be quenched by what's in front of me, Drake. What is satiation? THE MOMENT BEFORE YOU'RE THIRSTY AGAIN. Now let me tell you about how you are a taller, quicker version of Jim Brown. /dondraper'd
Suggestion box. Cover It Live has decided to charge out the nose for use of its product. Running Signing Day liveblog alone would now cost $300.

Unverified Voracity Has One Last Tie
Gorilla smash. This blog's readership annihilated the annual EDSBS charity fundraiser last year, bringing hope to refugees and a Bo-themed skin to EDSBS. Michigan coasted past #2 Auburn by a full two grand, and lo, we were amply rewarded.
You can take the opportunity to defend your crown by hitting up the 2012 version; this year the winning team also gets an episode of Shutdown Fullback devoted to it ("in a good way!" Orson says) and a "custom essay focused on doing nothing but denigrating the things the winning school finds deplorable."
Just going to leave this screenshot here now.
Yes, that's real. Or at least it is for me. /shakes fist at google personalization
Unfortunately, only round dollar amounts are available this year so you can't punch in your favorite score from a rivalry game unless you want to go big baller… or commemorate the Yakety Sax game with your 38.00.
Note: make sure to leave the school name in the DESIGNATION line, lest your donation not be credited to the glorious university you owe your lives, fortune, and honor to. If you need further hate to motivate you, that guy whose operative theory about why Brady Hoke will fail is "recruits too many NFL-sized offensive linemen who remind me of a guy who didn't work out for OSU" is suggesting that OSU fans should donate to "embarrass Michigan." Also he has not read the instructions closely enough, the bastard.
The last tie. 1992 OSU:
Kiss your sister, unless you've already married her. OOOH SICK BURN. MGoVideo also has all of the 1992 Purdue game.
Reinstated. Josh Furman is back and ready to go. Given the way this worked out, couldn't he have been practicing? He and the team would have benefited and… like… it doesn't sound like anything happened except some yelling into a dorm room (and, of course, the heinous crime against Furman's locks).
Somehow this sums up everything perfectly. SBN headline:
College Football Playoffs: Which 2 Bowls Should Be Added To The BCS?
College football? College football.
The plan. Two and out for Trey Burke is the plan:
Dime: Do you plan on leaving school for the NBA if you have another good year next season?
TB: If I have a great season, and we go far, I probably will lean towards coming out. I can't really speak on that right now, it's too early. But I definitely will look into it and my coaches will help me look into it because they understand the type of situation I'm in.
It would be nice to get Michigan's hyped freshman point guard a little time to get his feet wet but I'll take it. Derrick Walton's happy about his choice right now.
The limit. It turns out I've got one when it comes to recruiting, and it's one the premium sites, Tremendous and UMHoops are now exploring on a daily basis. If I see a "2014" or even "2015" in front of a kid's name, I am unmoved unless they seem extremely good and likely to end up at M.
A comprehensive list of 2014 football recruits I am interested in hearing about at this juncture: Malik McDowell. Since some of them are ending up at M it is also interesting to figure out how good the next crop of Cass Tech kids is. IL CB Parrker Westphal just got offers from half the Big Ten and is coached by Todd Howard (yes that Todd Howard), so he's getting there. I may be interested in 2014 Mississippi SG Devin Booker, but am not sure yet.
This will change after football players' junior seasons; in basketball it will change when Beilein can fire out offers in June. Right now it's just all so futuristic, man. Like finding an NCAA tournament loss to a major underdog hits only a pile of scar tissue where your heart used to be, I assume this is an effect of being a hockey fan. When Tristin Llewellyn committed he was supposed to be amazing. This did not happen. Need more data before emotions get all emotional.
Under that limit. I am interested to hear how Michigan's 2013 basketball commits are doing during their AAU season. Zak Irvin's play continues to improve:
Zak Irvin (2013, Wing, Eric Gordon All-Stars – Commit)
Zak Irvin is without a doubt one of the better players in his class. His jumpshot is water and when he gets it going from beyond the arc it's almost impossible to stop him. His long arms make him a terror at the top of the zone on defense. In man-to-man sets, he was easily the best on-ball defender on his team. Irvin's team is loaded, with two players headed to Indiana, one to Notre Dame and another to Purdue, but when the Eric Gordon All-Stars needed buckets it seemed like Irvin was the primary option. Irvin's handle is solid and he looked okay running point guard sporadically, though he had a few turnovers. Two areas of his game to watch are his passing ability and rebounding. He made a concerted effort to rebound all weekend and wound up with 12 in the final game of the day on Saturday. He was also able to find his teammates for easy buckets in the post after using his quickness to get by his defender.
Love the idea that Irvin can be a 6'5" shutdown perimeter defender in the mold of a Bernard Robinson Jr. Michigan hasn't had an elite defender since. Also in that post, Mark Donnal gets in a bunch of foul trouble. UMHoops also has an article on Donnal featuring his relationship with Dan Dakich, who happens to be his AAU coach.
You realize this makes you Mubarak, right? Jim Delany:
Delany defended the Rose Bowl and compared the coming changes in college football to the Arab Spring, the revolts that erupted across the Middle East and North Africa last year.
"Not all change is manageable," Delany said. "You want to control change. You want evolution, not revolution, because you don't know what the unintended consequences will be."
As always, Jim Delany should not say things.
Incoming defenders. The United States of Hockey also scouted the USA U18's defense corps, with all three of Michigan's commits turning in good performances. Trouba:
Jacob Trouba — It is plainly clear why Trouba is getting a lot of Top-10 buzz. He can do a little bit of everything. His pro-ready size and strength are going to be attractive to a lot of teams. He also plays with an edge and had several bone-crushing hits in the tournament. What people often forget is that Trouba is a tremendous skater. He has speed, sure, but there's more to it than that. He's able to find seems and turn it up ice quickly. Then there's his cannon from the point. Trouba's one goal at the tournament came off a stunning one-timer that required video review because it came right off the back bar in the net so quickly. He posted three points total. Knocks on his offensive upside are overblown, I feel. There are clearly many tools at this defenseman's disposal. He should go early on Day 1. Committed to the University of Michigan.
Connor Carrick — Playing a strong game at both ends of the ice allowed Carrick to have a lot of success. The offensive-minded defenseman posted four points including a pair of goals. Carrick has good speed and some creativity with the puck. He also has pretty good strength along the walls, which makes up for his lack of height. Carrick also has a good feel for when to jump into plays and often makes good decisions when pinching. If Carrick ever got into trouble, he was able to recover with his feet. There should be a few teams that will be looking to pick up Carrick in the later rounds of the Draft. Committed to the University of Michigan.
Continues to sound like a bigger version of Langlais. Carrick's going to be important next year as Michigan tries to get that third pairing solidified, but if Michigan does hold on to all of their incoming defensemen they'll be in good shape.
Rutledge only got one start, a shutout—all games not against Canada were shutouts—in which he "bailed out" his team more than once. Click through for that report.
Etc.: The Solid Verbal features Dan, Ty, and Andy Staples talkin' playoffs. More Staples on playoffs. MVictors has audio of Willie Heston. If Dave Brandon was at FSU. Jerald Robinson's violence against a parking lot gate gets Michigan one point the Fulmer Cup. A second is added for "admiration."
Mailbag: Berkley Edwards, Alabama Math, Burke's Bees
Berkley Edwards.
Berkley Edwards: already on the roster, but named "Dennis Norfleet"
Guys, are the Michigan coaches really not offering Berkley Edwards? I understand he is small, but as fast as he is and the fact he is a legacy makes me question the thought here. I've noticed this hasn't been mentioned at all since the ever mature Braylon went on Twitter to complain. At the very least, I hope the coaches reach out the Edwards family and keep any discussion out of the social media.
What I don't get though is if he is someone Nebraska considers, can Michigan afford to overlook him? I know I really think that the Buckeyes not recruiting Mike McCray is going to come back to haunt them. I don't want Berkley to come back and haunt us.
Berkley Edward's chances went from okay to slim when Michigan flipped Dennis Norfleet the day before Signing Day and from slim to life support when Brady Hoke went Donkey Kong on 2013 recruiting. At this point Michigan can afford to overlook someone Nebraska offers two scholarships and an earldom, let alone considers.
Michigan has 17 kids in the class and is going to somewhere between 22 and 24. Even if we take the most Edwards-friendly number, six of those seven scholarships are earmarked for:
- Ty Isaac
- Two wide receivers
- Three defensive linemen
So then you're talking about adding Edwards over another corner, safety, TE, or WR. Is a pint-sized tailback most likely to make an impact on special teams really a priority over one of those spots, especially when you already have three running backs in the class and recruited a seemingly-superior quarkback prospect in Norfleet the year previous? No.
Add in the likelihood that whoever Michigan is pursuing for spot 24 at one of those other positions is going to be a four-star type and it's a blowout. Offering Edwards makes no sense. McCray, a consensus four-star ranked in the top 100 by Rivals and ESPN with two dozen BCS offers including Oklahoma, is not even a comparison.
Edwards might have a shot if Isaac ends up at USC and Michigan can't latch on to another touted guy at tailback. Even in that situation it seems unlikely since Michigan is loaded with tiny darty return guys who are the only tailbacks Fred Jackson doesn't think are the second coming of Earl Campbell. He just does not make sense on the roster.
Wouldn't you rather have another safety? Safeties are important, yo.
Alabama math.
Hey Brian,
I am not sure I followed your latest post. There might be something I am missing. I am not a fan of Brandon or this game, but I don't see how a home-and-home makes us better of financially. Let's say a bad opponent home game nets us 5 million. Playing Bama at home nets us 7 million. And for arguments sake lets say the return of a home-and-home with Bama would be in 2013.
The way it is
2012 Jerry Game: 4.7 million + 2013 crap team: 5 million = 9.7 million
2012 Bama: 7 million + 2013 at Bama: 0 = 7 million
No Bama
2012 crap: 5 million + 2013 crap: 5 million = 10 million (but you don't get to play Bama; but the band is happy)
I would choose home and home if it was me because it is not my money and that is more fun, but I don't think that is the best choice financially. I would choose both over more UMass games.
Mike Yates
The thing you and the OUTRAGED at OUTRAGE gang in the comments are missing is the ticket price. Apparently a game like Michigan-Alabama can support a ticket price range from $125 to $285. This is at a minimum 66% higher than Michigan is currently charging for bodybag games, not the 17% suggested in your email (remember that Michigan has to shell out about $2 million to get the one-off games in the No Bama scenario).
When the ticket prices came in 30 bucks or more—potentially much more—above what Michigan is charging for their "premium" game this year that changed the math drastically. Maybe that pricing is not sustainable over 110,000 tickets like it was for the 25,000 Michigan was given for Jerryworld, but… yeah, it totally is. Find me a Michigan fan who'd be less likely to buy a season ticket package this year that had 'Bama on it but was $50 more expensive. That person does not exist.
A correctly priced monster home-and-home is financially comparable to the dual punching bag scenario even without considering the ancillary benefits that will come from increased interest in season tickets, suites, goodwill from the fanbase, donations, etc. It would have made more sense for both Alabama and Michigan to schedule a game in Ann Arbor for 2013, then figure out where the return game goes later.
In the long term this is largely moot. After the Pac-12 agreement kicks in Michigan will have a road nonconference game every year except when the ND series takes its brief breaks. It's hard to imagine them adding a third opponent who would require Michigan to travel.
I just hate getting sold a bill of goods, is all.
Keep Crisler ArenaCenter weird.
Hey Brian. My buddy works with the guy that buys the costumes (and tickets) for the students wearing the lobster suits. With Smotrycz transferring, the lobsters are going to become bees through a glorious transformation. I hope this insider tidbit helps you get through the slow period and maybe even leads to some cool visions on your current meds.
Go Blue!
I will miss the lobstryczs, but good on the Maize Rage for keeping the weird quotient high. I suggest someone purchase an enormous buffalo head mask so they can be Bielfeldt's Buffalo. Someone should wear a fez for no discernible reason. He should have one of those huge faces of himself wearing the fez, as well, cocking an eyebrow and looking suave.
Also also we're going to need a giant Canadian flag for Stauskas. And some guys dressed up like beetles who click their mandibles alarmingly during free throws. And there should be a moose. A live moose. With moose teeth. Wearing a toque. His name is Graham the Brown Moose, and he sets huge screens. In the event a live moose is not permitted in Crisler we will innovate.
In addition, on certain defensive possessions Crisler should adopt the disconcerting Yost penalty-kill hooting. Whenever Stauskas hits a three the entire student section should shout "You're my buddy, pal!" There will be a Mark Twain impersonator as well.
Addendum: we need a prominently located fat shirtless guy. On his chest we will paint an image of Glen Rice raising up for a three-pointer. He will not be allowed to shower. We should think about putting a hat on him as well. Hats are crucial for the entire operation. People should also dress like the future people in Bill and Ted.
These are reasonable suggestions. /jedi hand wave
Dear Diary is Bundled With Half-Life
Quick reminder: you've got one week to get it at the lowest price ----------------------->
so if you were waiting to get 13 more for grandma, better act fast.
So in preparation for Brian to be laid up on a cocktail of drugs they won't let you take while operating devices with internet connections, we underlings were fully prepared for one of those M.A.S.H. episodes when Colonel Blake has to leave the base and Hawkeye and Trapper hire a circus or something. Alas before Ace and I could declare ourselves the Pros from Dover and infiltrate the alumni golf game Brian turned out to be mostly lucid, meaning we now have loads of weird unpublished things taking up space in the hopper.
Here's one of those on Burke's return, which if you're old/young enough to get the phrase "The Cake is a Lie!" you'll get it; if you don't, don't bother.
A one-man advantage. If you like hockey and/or wanted to know what was up with Michigan's power play, I mean like really wanna know, your Diarist of the Week is JeepinBen for the first two parts of a three-part series on special teams strategy. Part the 1st, which got the bump, covered the basics and Part II got into penalty killing and controlling the neutral zone. Sample:
The powerplay is a lot like football plays – constraints are huge
This will come into view with the "Penalty Kill" diary, but depending on what the offense is doing, the defense does something and vice versa. There are ways to break kills, kills designed to stop specific powerplays, etc.
Learn what you were actually doing when you selected "umbrella or something" in NHL '99, and you too will be able to offer intelligent criticism when Michigan uses 25 minutes of man advantage in an elimination game to stand around with the puck. Not sold yet? There's Slapshots clips in those links.
Stray thought re Slapshots clips: Do you think Valeri Bure used to skate behind guys' nets and exclaim "I'm doing D.J. Tanner!" because that would totally screw with pretty much every guy in my generation.
Spring's springing. We have this one week to sample this year's line of football. It's not a real game so there won't be predictions and MonuMental backgrounds for this one coming, but Lanyard Program came out with one of his programs. The part that is totally real is the lacrosse game immediately after the fake football: Michigan will finally face Ohio's state university letterman to letterman. MaizeAndBlueWahoo, our resident LAX man, got his lacrosse primer bumped.
Winter's coming. By which we mean the cessation of football hostilities and many peaceful months pockmarked by commitments before fall football begins and the wars resume. User Silly Goose compares various programs to Game of Thrones houses. When describing Michigan as the Starks he left out the part about how we chop off the heads of deserters, which teaches us important moral lessons about leadership. And instead of all of the houses battling it out in a single playoff they decide things by getting into ill-defined wars between each other. The allegories fit pretty strongly, which probably says something Campbellian about ascribing character archetypes to sports rivals (if you make this your essay for Rabkin's class I wanna see it!). Blazefire seems to think when winter comes it will be zombies from Ohio THE Stadium.
Etc. Ace's weekly rankings. The Gedeon announcement will bump next week's but if you want to get a jump now to see Midwest power programs filling up—not like 16 commits in April filling up, but 7 to 10 each—it's here. Tennis wins. Blockhams are reliving the best 1:17 of their lives.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.
(I was all like…)
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.
(But now I'm all like…)
Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
P.S. I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
P.P.S. While you're dying I'll be still alive.
Final thought: And when you're dead I will be still alive.
Still alive.
Early Outlook: 2012-13 Michigan Basketball
Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary: Capable of dunking
Now that Trey Burke has announced his return to the Michigan basketball program, we can all emerge from our panic rooms and take a look at the roster for next year. Since the end of the season, Michigan has lost five scholarship players—Zack Novak and Stu Douglass to graduation; Evan Smotrycz, Colton Christian, and Carlton Brundidge to transfer—and pulled in a commitment from point guard Spike Albrecht. With today's news that the Wolverines are no longer pursuing combo guard Amadeo Della Valle, the roster is set barring a graduate-year transfer. Here's one man's guess at the 2012-13 depth chart:
|Point Guard
|Shooting Guard
|Small Forward
|Power Forward
|Trey Burke
|Tim Hardaway Jr.
|Glenn Robinson III
|Mitch McGary
|Jordan Morgan
|Spike Albrecht
|Nick Stauskas
|Matt Vogrich
|Max Bielfeldt
|Jon Horford
|Eso Akunne
|Blake McLimans
Schwing. That's a lineup featuring an All-American (honorable mention) point guard, an enigmatic but uber-talented shooting guard, two five-star freshmen at the 3 and 4, and a proven Big Ten center. It's also a lineup with a fair amount of versatility. If Michigan wants to go small, they can play GRIII at power forward and slide either Nick Stauskas or Matt Vogrich to the wing, adding some extra outside shooting. Going bigger is pretty unnecessary, since the presumed starters outside of Burke all have more than adequate size for their position—no more 6'4" guys in the post.
At point guard, once again it pretty much starts and ends with Trey Burke, but the pickup of Albrecht gives the team some options. Albrecht's main strengths are basketball savvy and passing ability; should he pick up on the offense quickly enough, he can provide Burke with a few minutes of rest without sacrificing much offensive flow. Nick Stauskas is a natural shooting guard, but he's a slick passer. If he can just be adequate at handling the basketball, he could also help ease the load on Burke. While Burke will undoubtedly play well over 30 minutes a game once again, there's hope that he won't be forced to log the 40 (or more) minute efforts he did as a freshman.
The key to a successful season—and next year, success means a Big Ten title and/or a deep run in the NCAA tournament—is the production of Tim Hardaway Jr. Can he improve his shot selection and return to the efficient scoring ways of his freshman campaign, or will he continue to be maddeningly inconsistent on both sides of the ball? Who knows, though I'd like to think he won't shoot 28% from downtown again. The good news is that with a four-star gunner in Stauskas and good secondary scoring options in GRIII and McGary, Michigan won't have to lean so heavily on Hardaway to carry the non-Burke scoring load. Stauskas hopefully will be the guy who finally lives up to his high school reputation as a deadly marksman; if he does, this team gets a whole lot more dangerous and versatile.
I'm guessing Glenn Robinson III steps right in and starts at small forward after surging to five-star status over the last several months. GRIII brings a level of athleticism on the wing that Michigan hasn't seen in a long time; the Burke-to-Robinson alley-oop combination should provide some Sportscenter Top 10 moments. Robinson should also be able to create his own shot heading towards the basket, something nobody outside of Hardaway could do with any consistency last season. Backing up GRIII will likely be Matt Vogrich, who will hopefully break through as an outside shooter while continuing to provide a surprising level of rebounding and defensive hustle.
The ballyhooed Mitch McGary should start right away at power forward with Smotrycz heading elsewhere. While his stock has dropped a bit since his commitment, McGary is still an instant-impact guy, and I'm very interested to see what he can bring to Beilein's burgeoning pick-and-roll game. McGary has the bounce necessary to take a quick pass off the roll and attack the basket with ferocity, something Jordan Morgan has struggled with in the past. With teams justifiably focused on stopping Burke, McGary could be the beneficiary of a lot of easy looks around the hoop. His high motor and effort should make him a force on the boards, as well. After redshirting last season, Max Bielfeldt has a chance to earn some PT at the four, being the guy who most fits the Beilein mold of a big who can stretch the floor. If he can hold his own defensively and on the glass, Bielfeldt could be a surprisingly solid weapon off the bench.
Jordan Morgan returns and should continue to provide high-percentage shooting, solid rebounding, and quality interior defense. While his ceiling doesn't appear to be especially high, Morgan has steadily improved in his Michigan career, and we'll likely see him take another step forward as a junior. If that step forward includes even a rudimentary post game (or at least better finishing on layup opportunities), the masses would be quite pleased. Morgan could be pushed for playing time by Jon Horford, who returns from a foot injury. Horford isn't as polished as Morgan, but he's more athletic and provides a better shot-blocking presence on defense. He should get at least 15 minutes a game next year, especially if Morgan's propensity for foul trouble continues to plague him. Blake McLimans may just be the odd man out with Michigan's new-found depth up front.
So, what's the outlook? While the Big Ten is loaded next year—the news that Christian Watford and Cody Zeller both return makes Indiana a potential national contender—Michigan is set to challenge for the conference crown and could be a Final Four team if a few things fall the right way. Getting Hardaway back on track is the key, assuming Robinson and McGary live up to their lofty recruiting rankings. While Michigan doesn't have a lineup loaded with shooters like Beilein's West Virginia squads, they have more athleticism and a dynamite point guard that the Mountaineers never had. Beilein's offense became more guard-centric the past two seasons with Darius Morris and Burke running the show, and that should continue next year. Expect to see more evolution from the offense as the coaches adjust to having a much bigger team, and possibly a shift back to more zone defense to better fit the personnel.
The expectations for next year are dramatically higher than they've been in Ann Arbor since the Fab Five era, and those expectations are justified. An experienced Burke coupled with a hopefully reinvigorated Hardaway should take this team a long way. If the freshmen produce as expected, Michigan will take the next (big) leap forward under John Beilein, going from Big Ten dark horse to national contender.

text: Duke Energy Duke Energy Building Solar Farm At Camp Lejeune By Dave DeWitt • Jan 22, 2015 Duke Energy/Progress Energy Duke Energy has announced yet another solar farm to be built in North Carolina. But this one is unique: it's the first solar farm the utility company has ever built on a military base. The Camp Lejeune solar farm will be a 13-megawatt facility that could power as many as 3,000 homes. That is relatively small, when compared to the 65-megawatt Duke Energy facility under construction in Duplin County. Turning Coal Ash Into Roofing Tile, Makeup: Commission Hears Options By Dave DeWitt • Jan 14, 2015 Dave DeWitt For a century, utility companies in North Carolina simply dumped coal ash in nearby pits and ponds. But within the last several decades, other states have found uses for coal ash in construction and road-building, limiting the amount that makes it into the landfills. During its second full meeting Wednesday, the Coal Ash Management Commission heard the many ways states like Wisconsin, Ohio, and South Carolina are reusing coal ash. North Carolina's Legislative Year Ahead: Environment By Dave DeWitt • Jan 12, 2015 Zen Sutherland Coal ash and fracking will dominate the environmental headlines this year. But the story will be different in the Legislature, where as much news will be made by what's not discussed as by what is. Some observers believe that the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard that has been such a contentious issue in years past may not come up at all this session. It requires utility companies to generate 12.5 percent of its electricity using renewables by 2021. The REP Standard first passed in 2007 and sustained a Republican challenge in 2013. EPA: Coal Ash Not Hazardous Waste By Dave DeWitt • Dec 20, 2014 USFWS The Environmental Protection Agency came out today with its first-ever regulations for coal ash. The new rules treat coal ash like regular household garbage, instead of hazardous waste, as many environmental groups wanted. The EPA said the record did not support a hazardous-waste classification. Coal ash is the byproduct when coal is burned for electricity. It contains arsenic, selenium, and other materials that can be harmful to humans. Watchdog Group Files Federal Complaint Against Duke Energy By Dave DeWitt • Dec 16, 2014 Duke Energy A watchdog group has filed a federal complaint against Duke Energy. NC Warn says the company is keeping rates artificially high by building power plants it doesn't need. Duke Energy is required to keep production capacity at 15 percent above the peak day of the year. NC Warn says the company regularly has double that amount of electricity on hand. Coal Ash in Carolina: Three Important Questions By Dave DeWitt • Dec 10, 2014 Steve Alexander, USFWS Politicians, regulators, engineers, and commissions are trying to decide what to do with the 100-million tons of coal ash in 32 pits and ponds across North Carolina. Before a broken storm pipe caused 33,000 tons of coal ash to spill into the Dan River back in February, most people had never heard of it. So what is coal ash? How dangerous is it? And what are we going to do with it? Question #1: What is coal ash? Report: Offshore Wind Electricity Poised For Growth In NC By Dave DeWitt • Dec 5, 2014 Dave DeWitt A new report from advocacy group Environment North Carolina says the state is under-utilizing its capacity to produce electricity from wind power. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, North Carolina has the most offshore wind potential of any Atlantic state. If tapped, the report says offshore wind resources in the state could grow to power 2.5 million homes by 2030. Two North Carolina Counties Want To Get Paid To Take Coal Ash By Dave DeWitt • Dec 4, 2014 Duke Energy Duke Energy's plan to dispose of coal ash in abandoned clay mines in two North Carolina counties may hit a snag. If coal waste was trash from your kitchen trash can, and ended up in a private landfill, the owners of that landfill would be required to pay a host fee of $2 per ton of trash. Duke Energy's plan to dispose of 20 million tons of coal ash in abandoned clay mines in Lee and Chatham counties should come under the same rules, say officials in Lee County. Agency Will Help North Carolinians Cover High Heating Bills Ahead By Rebecca Martinez • Dec 1, 2014 RachelEllen via Flickr/Creative Commons Forecasters are predicting another cold winter. The North Carolina Division of Social Services is accepting applications for the state's Low Income Energy Assistance Program. Director Wayne Black says it's meant to help seniors, veterans and people with disabilities pay their heating bills. "Demand is there every year for these programs, and we expect that to be the same this coming years as well," Black said. "Obviously, how cold the winter is would have some impact as well in terms of persons coming in." Solar Business Is Booming In NC, But For How Long? By Dave DeWitt • Nov 18, 2014 Yes Solar Solutions The small warehouse and loading area in the back of the Yes! Solar Solutions building in Cary is empty. And that's a good thing. On this bright, sunny Fall day, it means all the crews are out on jobs, installing solar panels on houses. Kathy Miller and her husband Stew started the company in 2009, after selling the Primrose Schools of Cary. They could have done almost anything at that point, but decided to throw their future into solar energy. Turns out, the pre-school business and the solar business aren't all that different.

MADISON, Wis. – On a day when news headlines nationwide screamed of Gov. Scott Walker's "apparent" knowledge of illegal campaigning going on in his office when he was Milwaukee County executive, the judge of the nearly three year "secret" investigation into Walker's former aides and associates summed up the meat of the matter.
"The John Doe is closed and the results of the John Doe speak for themselves in terms of who has allegedly committed a crime, who has been charged with a crime and who has been convicted of a crime," former appeals Court Judge Neal Nettesheim told Wisconsin Reporter Wednesday.
Not on that conviction list, perhaps much to the dismay of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and like-minded liberals, was Walker.

In Scala, you often use an iterator to do a
for loop in an increasing order like:
for(i <- 1 to 10){ code }
How would you do it so it goes from 10 to 1? I guess
10 to 1 gives an empty iterator (like usual range mathematics)?
I made a Scala script which solves it by calling reverse on the iterator, but it's not nice in my opinion, is the following the way to go?
def nBeers(n:Int) = n match {
case 0 => ("No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer." +
"\nGo to the store and buy some more, " +
"99 bottles of beer on the wall.\n")
case _ => (n + " bottles of beer on the wall, " + n +
" bottles of beer.\n" +
"Take one down and pass it around, " +
"no more"
(n-1)) +
" bottles of beer on the wall.\n")
for(b <- (0 to 99).reverse)

Guest: PAC law burdens citizens
Published: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 4:56 p.m.
When it comes to voicing opinions about elections, Floridians should not have fewer rights than do corporations and unions. Unfortunately, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently told a group of Sarasota residents exactly that when it upheld a Florida law that requires grassroots groups to form "political committees" in order to speak out in elections. But today the Institute for Justice, the national law firm for liberty, is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the 11th Circuit's decision and overturn it in order to make private citizens at least as free as corporations.
If they slip up even once on these requirements, they risk civil penalties. And mistakes are hard to avoid.
In Florida, as in most states, if a group of citizens wants to get together and spend more than an insignificant amount of money giving their opinions on an election, the group must form a political committee. That means that Floridians wanting to pool money to speak out about an issue must register with the state, appoint a treasurer, start a campaign account, keep detailed accounts of receipts and expenditures, report those receipts and expenditures, maintain records for years, file regular reports with the Division of Elections in which they must itemize every penny of every contribution and every expenditure, and submit to random audits by the Division of Elections.
If they slip up even once on these requirements, they run the risk of civil penalties. And mistakes are hard to avoid. The state's own website admits that the laws are complex and advises citizens to read thousands of pages of information regarding campaign-finance laws to ensure compliance. For an average citizen, this means weeks of study or, not surprisingly, hiring a lawyer.
These burdens aren't hypothetical; they are silencing real Floridians in every election, such as Nathan Worley, Patricia Wayman and John Scolaro. In 2010, these three Sarasota residents wanted to pool their money to buy $600 worth of radio advertisements to oppose a constitutional amendment that was on the ballot that year. But the three were quickly overwhelmed by Florida's complex laws, including hundreds of pages of statutes, rules, regulations, and advisory opinions. The group was afraid that they might accidentally stumble into one of the almost 100 possible separate violations that exist under the law because they didn't have enough time to learn and comply with all of the regulations.
It is hard to imagine the Founders would approve of a state requiring its citizens to overcome insurmountable hurdles before passing out a political pamphlet or taking out a newspaper advertisement to voice their opinion. The First Amendment protects political speech like that of Nathan, Patricia and John, which is why they teamed up with the institute and filed a federal lawsuit in September 2010 to vindicate their rights.
Unfortunately, last June the 11th Circuit upheld Florida's law. And the 11th Circuit isn't alone -- federal courts across the country have upheld similar burdens on grassroots political speakers.
These decisions fly in the face of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which held that corporations did not have to jump through these bureaucratic hoops -- such as establishing a separate bank account and filing ongoing reports with the government -- because that would be tantamount to a "ban on speech." As a result, laws that would be unconstitutional as applied to corporations or unions are silencing grassroots political activists across the country.
The Supreme Court now has a chance to reverse this unconstitutional discrepancy. If wealthy corporations and unions are allowed to speak about elections without complying with burdensome campaign-finance regulations, ordinary Floridians must also be afforded that basic right.
Claudia Murray Edenfield is an attorney at the Institute for Justice, which represents the petitioners in Worley v. Florida Secretary of State.

We even have a town named after him in good old Pennsylvania. Hard working blue collar folks.
It was bromance, thats all.
It was in the 60's and I played a round of golf in Pennsylvania today. Pretty good day.
My recovery time after a loss is better than it used to be. I just turned 62 so as they say........
I'm getting to old for this chit. There really are bigger things to get upset about.
The road to the Superbowl starts now.
Without Cruz, there is no Superbowl for the 2011 season.
Perhaps the heat was a factor also.
Cool story bro.
What a bunch of pansies you guys are.
I have to take some blame also. As a fan maybe I could have rooted with more fire in the belly or hollered at the TV louder. My fault. Time to move on.
Lame post.
I believe that was the defining moment where the momentum began the march to the Superbowl.
I was at that game. Snow flurries and all. It was great.
At least they found their cox.
Gotta love this classic though.
Morehead is so good, he gets mentioned in 33 page threads about other players.
That video almost makes me feel sorry for the poor guys assigned to stop him. :)
And yes, excellent music. Thanks.
Actually I'm 61 and was taught some manners when I was younger. ODB needs to mature some and if he played for any other team most on here would be calling for his head. Probably including yourself....
Loser....you just showed what one is like with that post.
Probably hung over.
Great talent, needs to grow up.
A sports store at one of our local malls in Scranton, PA sold tickets for an OBJ meet and greet. The first one got re-scheduled. Fair enough.
The second one he was 4...
Thanks. Earlier tonight I thought of going on youtube to catch the final drive of the 2007 Superbowl. That had it all. :)
I'm still looking forward...........to the camera shot of Jerry Jones at the moment the Cowboys get knocked out of the first round of the playoffs. Always makes me smile :)
