We Dig Barre: Cold planing this weekMay 06,2013
Get ready. We are going to be starting cold planing (milling) operations on Summer Street/Elm Street at 7 a.m. today. Monday, May 6. This operation will continue for 24 hours. We will begin at the intersection of Summer Street and Maple Avenue and progress southbound towards the intersection of Elm Street and Washington Street. Sections of the road will be closed to through traffic and then reopened as we finish the work in that particular area. Residents, businesses and emergency vehicles will have access in the work zone. There will be delays. We will do our best to keep them at a minimum but plan your travel for the day accordingly.
Nighttime work will begin after 6pm in the City Park intersection. We will be milling sections of Washington Street, Church Street, South Main Street, and possibly Prospect Street. When work is finished in these areas we will move to the Depot Square area to continue milling specified locations. From there we will move to Maple Avenue where we will finish milling operations for the night. Be aware, it will actually be the very early hours of Tuesday morning, May 7. Once again, travel will be limited to residents, businesses and emergency vehicles.
It will be noisy and dirty, and it may affect your regular travel routine. We encourage you to close all doors and windows when we are near. Plan accordingly and communicate your needs to our flaggers or the uniformed traffic officers who will be available to help you safely arrive at your destination. We cannot emphasize enough how important your patience and cooperation is to us and to the success of our operations.
On Tuesday, you will see crews working on Prospect Street starting around noon. There will be one lane traffic and heavy equipment. At 7 p.m. a crew will begin work on Washington Street to excavate for a road crossing. Two lane traffic will be maintained with a uniformed police officer and flaggers. Use caution.
On Wednesday and Thursday, you will see crews working on the streets that have been previously milled to prepare them for paving operations scheduled for the evening of Monday, May 13. The hours for the preparation work are not set but will occur during the daytime. In addition, on Wednesday, a subcontractor will be working on Prospect Street installing new curb. This work will require lane shifting, so please pay close attention if traveling in this area. We may be required to work on Friday, May 10, provided there are some last minute details to be finished up for the paving operation scheduled to begin Monday, May 13. This work will be focused on the areas that have been previously milled.
Striping activities have begun and will be continuing until completion of the project limits. Please give this activity the utmost respect as it is the final product of the new construction. It gives any project the finishing touch and highlights all the hard work and beautification that Barre City has achieved.
Pay close attention to message boards, traffic detour signs, advanced warning signs, uniformed traffic officers, and flaggers who will be posted at strategic locations for traffic control. Again, expect minor delays at times and plan your commute accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Barre Big Dig project please contact me by cell (518)-578-9629 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com. The office number is (802)-479-5775.

ARGYLE, Texas -- The Lady Cougars defeated Princeton 4-0 tonight at the Argyle Tournament.
The Cougs opened the scoring ten minutes before the half when Jaylen Hinckley scored on a PK. Courtney McGrew played a ball through to Jaylen Hinckley who beat the goal keeper to notch her second goal ten minutes into the second half. Seven minutes later Courtney McGrew and Kinsey Rhome worked a nice combination down the right side before Rhome found Hinckley from six yards out, Hinckley beat the goalkeeper low for a hat trick. The Cougs finished the scoring when Hinckley slid a ball across the face of the goal to Emily Guerrieri who beat the goalie to the right. The Cougars next game is against Lonestar Frisco tomorrow afternoon. The Cougars are now 4-2 on the season.

Dinner As Nourishing Art
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Imagine it was your last day on earth: what would your last meal be? The responses to this question from death-row inmates led Julia Ziegler-Haynes to hold dinner parties in her North Fork home for 15 guests who are more or less strangers.
By holding intimate dinner parties in the comfort of her own home, Ziegler-Haynes makes eating more than the simple act of consumption — it's an art, an experience that cannot be replicated and will never be the same twice. Read on as Todd Selby executes his usual iconic photography and handwritten interviews. Though we will say -- it was fun to turn the tables on him the other day and ask a few questions of our own.

How does one man stay alivewith a dozen assassins targeting him?
Ex-soldier Joe Hunter once employed his killer instincts for Don Griffiths. Together, they brought down extremist groups and domestic terrorists before they could implement their destructive plans against the country. It was a job that nearly cost Hunter his life--and his humanity. So he severed all ties with Griffiths.
But when Griffiths' daughter is murdered and the rest of his family is targeted by supporters of Carswell Hicks, an enemy from his past and long believed to be dead, Hunter knows he can't stand by and let innocent people get hurt. Agreeing to help Griffiths protect his family, Hunter sets out on a suicide mission--for a dozen merciless killers are bent on avenging a dead man . . .

As part of a school project where we do genetics algorithm, I am programming something called "crossover core" in VHDL. This core is supposed to take in two 64-bit input "parents" and the two outputs "children" should contain parts from both inputs.
The starting point for this crossover is based on a value from an input random_number, where the 6 bit-value detemines the bit-number for where to start the crossover.
For instance, if the value from the random_number is 7 (in base 10), and the inputs are only 0's on one, and only 1's on the other, then the output should be something like this:
000.....00011111111 and 111.....11100000000
(crossover start at bit number 7)
This is the VHDL code:
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.NUMERIC_STD.ALL;
entity crossover_core_split is
generic (
N : integer := 64;
R : integer := 6
port (
random_number : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(R-1 downto 0);
parent1 : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(N-1 downto 0);
parent2 : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(N-1 downto 0);
child1 : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(N-1 downto 0);
child2 : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(N-1 downto 0)
end crossover_core_split;
architecture Behavioral of crossover_core_split is
signal split : INTEGER := 0;
split <= TO_INTEGER(UNSIGNED(random_number));
child1 <= parent1(N-1 downto split+1) & parent2(split downto 0);
child2 <= parent2(N-1 downto split+1) & parent1(split downto 0);
end Behavioral;
The code is written and compiled in Xilinx ISE Project Navigator 12.4. I have tested this in ModelSim, and verified that it works. However, there is an issues with latches, and I get these warnings:
WARNING:Xst:737 - Found 1-bit latch for signal <child1<62>>. Latches may be generated from incomplete case or if statements. We do not recommend the use of latches in FPGA/CPLD designs, as they may lead to timing problems.
WARNING:Xst:737 - Found 1-bit latch for signal <child1<61>>. Latches may be generated from incomplete case or if statements. We do not recommend the use of latches in FPGA/CPLD designs, as they may lead to timing problems.
WARNING:Xst:1336 - (*) More than 100% of Device resources are used
A total of 128 latches are generated, but appearantly they are not recommended. Any advices in how to avoid latches, or at least reduce them?

Hiku told me to pay him like 43.2m that I really dont have. Hiku gave me 1 week to pay up, But I still cant cuz The real hacker always took my money and I cant save some. so After some weeks I gave up. The hacker sold ALL my SCs & EQs.

I have a strange error and I really don't understand! My template is correct, my preview is work. But when I send the newsletter the image links gone away, I'm mean the CSS background and the <img> tags. I think the program can't change the relative links to absolute. But in this way I can't use with absolute link because its missing too. I don't get any error, the sending is ok.
Anybody meet with this problem, yet?

I LOVED the sauce. I took a tiny spoonful (as a taste,while cooking) and I found it hard to resist tasting more. It was addictive! I used 8 drumsticks and 4 T. butter - every other amt. I kept the same. I opted for 2 chipotles and it was the perfect amt. of spice for me. My family perferred the chicken on its own, without sauce. They don't know what they were missing! ~I tried this recipe because loof had it in her best of 2009 cookbook at the Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbook Tag Game.~
This was fantastic! The milk helped to mellow the spiciness of the chipotles. We also liked to pour the extra sauce over the Spicy Chili Chipotle Rice I made to go with it. I will definitely make this again. Gracias! Made for the Epicurean Queens ZWT5: Family Picks.
We really enjoyed this chicken dish! DH grilled the chicken on the BBQ rather than roasting it in the oven and then we topped it with the delicious sauce. The sauce definitely had a spicy zing but was not overpowering. We used 3 chipotle chiles and boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5.
One word - FANTASTIC!! Just loved this dish! I used boneless skinless breasts. Problems with my oven forced me to cook the chicken in a skillet, but I coated it in butter and topped with chili and onion powders as specified, then sauteed until done. The chipotle sauce is just terrific - I used 3 chipotles and it was rich and spicy good. Loved everything about this - thanks for sharing this keeper! Made for Spring PAC 2009
This was wonderful! I used less chipotle peppers to make it kid-friendly. This is a winning dish, very tasty and a huge hit at the table! Yum!
This is great but be careful of the chipotle. I only started with one chipotle with 1 t. adobo sauce and tasted, it was perfect for us. I loved the chipotle but not too spicy. Served it with Mexican Bean Salad.
This was really good. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts which cooked fast. The sauce was rich and spicy. I made this for ZWT5.

Gaming with tabletop miniature systems.
Almost a year ago to the day, I posted a blog entry entitled "You Made Me Do This!" In a nutshell, it was my rant about the terrible state of PC gaming. At the time I had every intention of checking out of PC gaming and devoting my free time to board games and miniatures, something I hadn't done since the mid to late '90s. Unfortunately, that never came to pass. Shortly after setting up my first game of Tomorrow's War, I became ill and had to let it sit fallow for a few weeks. By the time I felt better, the madness of the holidays had arrived
...And by "this" I mean a return to tabletop gaming. Oh, and by "you" I mean you lousy game developers. Okay, that might be a bit harsh, but I am angry. Very angry. You have killed PC gaming for me.
Kaput. Finished. Done. I just can't take anymore of the slop being shoveled my way. And I certainly tried to put up with it for as long as possible. I mean, just take a look at this blog, one of my many, many blogs, where I desperately tried to put lipstick on a pig. But in the final analysis it has proven to be
Ah, Larry Leadhead. I was reading you even when my flirtation with minis was over. I hope we haven't seen the end of such a great comic strip now that I am getting involved in the hobby again!
(BTW: you can still read the interview I did with LL's creators, Eric Hotz and Doug Hamm, here.)
Well, today was a great day. After being dead in the water the last week because my paint collection was largely dried up and useless, today my new batch of supplies arrived and I was off painting my set of Ogre minis!
I *loved* Battlefront's Combat Mission. Even though I was never particularly partial to WWII gaming (exploring a hypothetical WWIII is what got me into wargaming), CMx1 was such a fantastic title that it gripped me like no other WWII wargame had. To see all the different weaponry of that period come to such vivid life was an absolutely thrilling experience.
But there was more to it than that. CM was also a fantastic gaming experience because it thoroughly captured the miniatures experience. Alas, I was never the type to invest much time or money into building an actual miniatures

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III had his lateral collateral ligament repaired and his ACL reconstructed for a second time. The surgery was performed in Florida by orthopedist James Andrews, who was optimistic that Griffin would be back on the field this fall. "We expect a full recovery, and it is everybody's hope and belief that due to Robert's high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season," Andrews said in a statement released by the Redskins. "The goal of his treatment is to give him the best opportunity for a long professional career."

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:28 PM GMT on September 27, 2005
The tropical disturbance in the central Caribbean sea, south of Jamiaca, is still small and has limited deep convection, but now has a well-defined circulation visible on satellite imagery. Winds measured at NOAA buoy 42058 located at 15N 85W also showed this circulation, as the winds at the buoy switched from east to west this morning when the disturbance passed by. Surface pressures did not falling significantly at the buoy when the disturbance passed by, so this is still a very weak low pressure area. Wind shear over the disturbance has fallen to the 5 - 10 knot range, which is in the slightly to moderately favorable range for tropical storm development. An upper-level anti-cyclone appears to be developing on top of the disturbance, which should greatly aid the upper-level outflow needed to take away all the air lifted to the upper atmosphere by the deep convection near the storm's center.
The disturbance has slowed its forward motion to about 10 mph to the west-northwest. This motion is forecast to slow down even further over the next three days, which will keep the system in the western Caribbean through Friday, and favor development. The reconnaissance airplane scheduled to visit the area today was cancelled, and has been rescheduled for Wednesday.
The upper-level wind shear is forecast to relax further during the next two days, and I expect this system to become Tropical Depression 19 on Wednesday--Thursday at the latest. The global computer models do not develop this system into a tropical storm, and are not much help in forecasting what will happen. The latest 12Z (8am EDT) run of the GFS model predicts that the system will move to a point just south of the western tip of Cuba on Friday, but dissipates the system after that.
Figure 1. Early run of the BAMM model takes the Caribbean disturbance into the Yucatan Peninsula.
Africa westward
The ITCZ is active in the region extending from the African coast westwards for 1000 miles. Some of the global computer models are forecasting that a tropical storm will develop along this area later this week. There are currently no suspect areas to focus on, though.
Gulf of Mexico
A cluster of thunderstorms associated with the tail end of the cold front that pulled Rita northeast across the U.S. is over the northern Gulf of Mexico. Strong upper levels winds are producing 30 knots of shear over this region and should prevent any development.
Alaska and Hawaii
We don't talk much about these states in my tropical blog, but Nome, Alaska had a huge mid-latitude cyclone hit them Friday. The storm brought sustained tropical storm force winds gusting to 52 mph, a 10-foot storm surge, and a pressure of 972 mb! This was in essence a Category 1 hurricane, as far as the storm surge and pressure go. Thanks to wunderphotographer Destiny, who brought this newspaper article to my attention.
Hawaii has its second tropical system of the season to be concerned with. Hawaii dodged major Hurricane Jova last week, andTropical Storm Kenneth is expected to pass within 100 miles of the Islands by the end of the week. Kenneth should only be a tropical depression by then, and bring a few extra rain showers to the islands.

I want to install a linux distro on my laptop but I do not want to have a massive battery drain. I remember reading some kernels drain the battery faster then others? Would Mint Linux or Ubuntu out of the box be ideal choices?
I've not used Linux as a desktop before so would there be services I would want to disable to get better performance?

I think you are trying to say phonics, direct instruction and memorization work in educating young children. It is difficult to find public elementary schools that focus on this type of instruction.

This article explains one of the reasons why "New Math,"
"Investigations Math," and Common Core Math don't work. Proponents
of these programs call practice "drill and kill" and rail against it.
When these programs are used to teach math, the kids come away in awe of math,
but unable to do it. Math is a discipline. That means among other things it
takes practice to become good at it, not just "higher level thinking."
And with that practice comes automaticity and ability to think at a higher
level, because you don't have to hold all of the lower level theories and
calculations in your head while doing higher ones.
The reality is, as this article intimates, you can't have math ability without calculation ability. Math is a discipline that requires practice, including memorization, to become good at it. The math ed. departments in the colleges of education are ruining math education, because they don't understand this. Student understanding comes AFTER the proficiency is developed, not before.

To "Chuck E. Racer" it applies more than just to math. Look at spelling and writing. There is now less emphasis on grammar and spelling because they want to push the "higher concepts" into younger grades. What is going to happen in 10 years when the kindergartners of today still can't spell anything correct or write a complete sentence?

RedShirt, you are correct. Their philosophy is called Constructivism. They believe the child must construct their "own" truth, because there really isn't any "truth." It's just what you perceive it to be. It is the same philosophy that gave us the "New Morality" of the 60's, even though many who promote it in Utah will deny that.

I would like to respectfully point out that much of what Chuck E Racer has written is false. Simply put, the theory of constructivism suggests that learners construct knowledge out of their experiences. There is no arguing over what is truth in public school mathematics. Proponents of the common core are not suggesting students construct their own truth about mathematics. The common core is helping students construct a real knowledge and understanding of the mathematics. If Chuck's approach to mathematics actually worked, I wouldn't have a job – I teach arithmetic and algebra to college students who never learned it – and there is no shortage of them. Sure – many of them memorized the procedures long enough to regurgitate the information on a test to get a grade (and many of them weren't able to do that much), but even the "good" students didn't really understand why they were following specific procedures. Every time I work with a student who is having trouble mastering a math skill, I can attribute the student's difficulty to not understanding the why behind the procedure.

I am currently doing research in math education, interviewing students who consider themselves bad at math. Every one of them talked about how they were most successful when they had a teacher who explained WHY to do certain steps, and they struggled the most when the teacher only explained procedures to memorize. Chuck's statement of "Student understanding comes AFTER the proficiency is developed, not before." is misguided. Does a surgeon gain proficiency in his skill before he understands what is happening in the anatomy? Not likely. Learning math is no different from learning anything else. When we truly understand a concept we gain proficiency in using it. There is nothing wrong with skill and drill, but if we only rely on that method of instruction we will continue to have a society that is math phobic and numerically illiterate. (Consider the fruits of the traditional ways of teaching math.) I encourage Chuck and others like him to properly educate themselves on the common core. Start by reading the Core Standards for Mathematical Practice. Google it. There is so much more evidence to support the theoretical foundation of the common core, but time and space here limit me.

Chuck E. Racer - you obviously don't know much about the common core. There are standards in each grade level that require students to know math facts from memory. Like this one, for example, from the third grade: "By the end of third grade know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers". Or this one from first grade: "Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10." Procedural fluency is one of the pillars of Common Core Math.

Unverified Voracity Tweaks Bo
Site note! OH MY GOD UFR UFR UFR OSU OSU OSU. Yeah, happening. I am going to take it a bit slower because, like, I can. Half this week, half next week.
The season's end usually means a slowdown in December since football is over, basketball is often wading through thickets of uninspiring nonconference opponents, and hockey is off for big chunks (this year they're also super depressing!). Also, the batteries. They need recharging.
Bid. The big prize in the School of Kinesiology's auction goes off the board in just over a day:

Zoltan, yo. You will have to be a big baller to pick it up, but most of the emails I get come from law firms, so… yeah.
Hayden Fry on Bo. This is pretty much awesome:
Michigan's long-running semi-rivalry with Iowa has always seemed to me like the most mutually respectful one M has, what with Bump and Fry and Carr pulling for Ferentz and whatnot. It's good to have them in the division.
Sacrifice Virginia. Basketball hits the court again tonight (7PM, ESPN2) in their second consecutive road game in the Big Ten-ACC challenge. They've got Virginia. If you're thinking that sounds like a pushover, no, not so much. Kenpom has the 5-1 Cavaliers 37th and gives them a decent edge (61%) on their home court. Michigan probably has a better chance than wobbly early-season numbers suggest since they're still heavily counting Michigan's pre-Maui struggles.
While Michigan's playing its first true road game of the season, Virginia hasn't played a major conference team yet. They've annihilated a couple of bad teams, lost a squeaker to TCU, and cruised by Drexel, Drake, and Wisconsin-Green Bay. Defense is their calling card—they're currently 8th.
Sensing that attention would start turning to the hoopycagers, UMHoops dumped a bunch of stuff out yesterday, including a Maui Invitational recap…
The Freshman Point Guard is Just Fine
Trey Burke hasn't been perfect. He's turned the ball over on 21% of his possessions, is shooting 60% on free throws, made one of eight threes in Maui and has the tendency to commit silly fouls. Despite those freshman mistakes, Burke has proven that he's ready to play at this level. His quickness, playmaking ability and competitiveness have already proven vastly important through Michigan's first six games.
Burke handed out more assists during the Maui Invitational than any player from any of the eight participating schools. He averaged 35 minutes per game in Maui, tied for the U-M lead, which serves as a ringing endorsement of John Beilein's trust. The turnovers will decrease and he will find his three point shooting stroke (1-8 3pt in Maui) because he's just too talented of a shooter not to. Burke is also the sort of player that can get a basket out of nothing – give him the ball in an isolation when the offense is struggling and he'll make something happen.
…and a look at Michigan's diverse NBA prospects. From that post, here's the Daily hitting up Chad Ford to talk Hardaway:
"He's got good size for his position, he's athletic, he can shoot the basketball, and he can put the ball on the floor, get to the basket," Ford said. "He's got a lot of the tools that you sort of look for in a wing. If he was a better ball-handler — and it's ironic, because his dad was amazing — that's probably his biggest weakness. I think he (also) needs to get a little more consistent from 3-point range. "But I think he's a pro."
"He won't need the money, and a lot of times that's a big issue for players," Ford said. "He's got his dad, (so) he's going to have access to more NBA guys giving him their opinions, which means he probably won't get bad info. I probably say he stays, but I'm always surprised."
Ford's plugging him in the same range Darius Morris was projected in as last season developed. As he mentions, money's not an issue, and this time around the NBA lockout helps. Last year the lockout pushed a marginal first-rounder like Morris into this years draft because a lot of blue-chips sat it out; this year those blue-chips will flood into the draft and push the Morris-Hardaway range back to school. I guess Burke fits in that range now, too. (Rivals basketball recruiting: you suck.) Sounds like Mitch McGary had a tough tournament over the last week, one that seems the draft consensus on him also in that fringe first-round range.
I'm still getting a handle on this edition of Michigan basketball, but it seems to me like Hardaway's increased ability to get his shot inside the arc is the non-Burke key. Memphis and Duke tried to shut off Michigan's threes only to get beat up on those overplays. Dylan notes Michigan's red-hot two-point shooting in Maui; Hardaway led the way at 27 of 44—a better than 60% clip.
Hardaway seems to have added a mid-range pull-up game that will be unstoppable since he's a 6'6" leaper. Just has to hit those shots. I expect the team's three-point shooting will come around to where it was last year. At this point Vogrich/Douglass/Novak is established as a floppy-haired Cerberus that will shoot between 36 and 38 percent collectively. Hardaway and Burke are the wildcards there. Is Hardaway the elite guy from the Big Ten season or also in that okay-to-good range? And how good of a shooter is Burke?
BONUS: Drexel's head coach is named "Bruiser Flint." Serious.
This is going to go well. They put Big Ten offensive lineman of the year David Molk in front of a camera and Tim Doyle asked him goofy questions.
Call me butterfly. I dare you.
Barely concealed contempt FTW.
Obligatory section on Meyer. He'll be some level of good. It's vastly more important for Michigan to have its house in order, which they seem to. Insert your preferred baseless assumption about Meyer's flakiness/health issues/lack of recruiting acumen here to make you feel better. At least we won't be one-upped in this department:
Rittenberg writes that if there's anyone who knows Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison's system, it's Meyer. The two worked along side one another when Meyer was the head coach of Florida.
If Mattison stays at Michigan, perhaps Meyer could give the Buckeyes the advantage come next season, as OSU tries to avenge their first loss to UM in eight years.
PROTIP: if your assertion can be flipped 180 degrees and retain equal plausibility, find another assertion.
The one thing hiring Meyer does do is make OSU fans' assertions that they really gave themselves a tough punishment by firing/retiring Jim Tressel even more obviously crap than when they were originally peddled. The NCAA's reaction to a head coach lying to keep his most important players eligible, then lying again to get them eligible for a bowl game, is going to be pathetically weak even with the tattoos and cars and "charity" events on top of everything.
Countdown to resumption of normal activities in 3… 2… 1…
The neck, it sticks out. This year's most interesting recruit ranking kerfuffle is located in the general vicinity of Toledo, where Chris Wormley is the Ohio Division 1 defensive player of the year over Se'Von Pittman, Tom Strobel, Joe Bolden, and De'Van Bogard. Those four are all top 100 types. Wormley had M and OSU offers on top of that but still sees this massive rankings spread:
- 247: #59 overall, #3 SDE, #3 OH
- Scout: 4*, #161 overall, #22 DE
- Rivals: durf. 3*, #22 strongside defensive end (IE: approx #44 DE)
That's a powerful outlier there. Hopefully it's wrong.
Why the Big Ten is not so good, Part XXVII. The massive connections that come from a brief tenure at Cincinnati may land Pat Narduzzi the Illinois job:
As Illinois' search for Ron Zook's replacement begins, a source said the program is looking at candidates that include Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and Toledo head coach Tim Beckman.
Narduzzi's Big Ten affiliation and ties to Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas make him a likely target.
He served as the defensive coordinator at Cincinnati from 2004-06, overlapping with Thomas' tenure with the Bearcats that began in 2005. He was reportedly a candidate for the Cincinnati job that eventually went to Brian Kelly, who now coaches at Notre Dame.
Yes, this would be another disappointing mid-level Big Ten hire with names like Mike Leach, Kevin Sumlin, and anyone who's proven they are actually in charge of the thing they're supposed to be in charge of out there. Narduzzi is a defensive coordinator working under a former DC. That always makes me leery because you don't know how much of the team's success in their chosen field is because of the guy you're hiring.
Beckman would probably be a better hire: he's turned around Toledo, has a ton of recruiting connections in Ohio, and did establish himself as a BCS level coordinator at Oklahoma State. Schiano is not realistic. He has security at Rutgers and Illinois is a death trap.
If Illinois does go with Narduzzi that is both of Dantonio's coordinators out the door in a two year period. Not sure how much Narduzzi would hurt for the reasons given above, but it certainly can't help. It would be strange if Dantonio had more of a coaching tree in year five at MSU than Carr did, like, ever.
More Buckeye butthurt. Meinke collects the various lolrus OSU player twitter posts after the game. You've read the Boren ones; the others:
Added Ohio State tight end Jeff Heuerman: "Karma is gonna be a (expletive) for that little 'celebration' at the end."
Players said the controversial celebration -- you can catch a piece of it at the 34-minute mark of this YouTube video -- is something they have done after each Friday practice this year. Coach Brady Hoke said he was fine with his team celebrating their win that way.
"I don't have any problem (with it) because it wasn't disrespectful to anybody," Hoke said. "It's something they do every Friday.
"No. It wasn't disrespectful to anybody. It's something those kids have done for 12 weeks."
Ohio State, though, clearly was offended with the episode, which occurred in front of several players at midfield.
It led to Ohio State cornerback Brad Roby tweeting: "I will never lose to those scrubs again."

Wednesday Recruitin, For the Last Time
This is my final post on mgoblog (aside from the remaining opponent previews, which are already written and should be published in the next week or so), so I'd like to thank everyone for reading, and of course Brian for the great opportunity over the past couple years. Congratulations and good luck to Ace and Heiko.
On to the recruiting...
Wide Receivin'
We already knew that Michigan was likely to take two wideouts in the 2012 class. The departure of Je'Ron Stokes changes that to a certainty, and even opens the door to taking a third.
Who are the main prospects on the board?
IA WR Amara Darboh finally has a highlight video on Youtube, thanks to 24/7 Sports:
Darboh has narrowed to a final five ($, info in header). Given that he's visiting Michigan for the season opener against Western, it's safe to say the Wolverines are in good position for him.
For those who were expecting a commitment from OH WR Monty Madaris at the BBQ and dismayed he didn't make it in, fear not, as Michigan's "stock is on the rise" ($, info in header) with him.
OH WR Dwayne Stanford participated in a chat with Rivals readers last week, and had a few things to say about Michigan:
Q: Will you take an official to Michigan?
Stanford: I don't know if Michigan will be one of my officials yet ... I only know Alabama and LSU so far.
Q: Since LSU isn't recruiting Adolphus does that move Michigan high on your list?
Stanford: Yes, it does ... it's something we've talked about ever since I started getting recruited. Michigan does have a chance .... especially with me and Adolphus both liking them. They made the short list. They're right there in the mix
Q: Has Michigan's 2012 recruiting class caught your attention?
Stanford: Yes, it has ....
Q: How important are academics to your decision, and do Michigan's strong academics help them?
Stanford: 1. They're important but college is what you make of it
2. Yes, it does ... I know they're a great academic school
Q: What was your favorite school as a kid?
Stanford: I would say it was Miami & Michigan when I was a kid ...
Conventional wisdom has Michigan outside his top group right now, but if the staff can get him on campus, they stand a chance. Stanford has eliminated Miami (YTM) thanks to their impending doom.
CA WR Jordan Payton is the other hot name on Michigan's board right now, and he'll visit Ann Arbor for the night game against Notre Dame.
Other Positions
IL OL Jordan Diamond is sticking to his plan of waiting until after his senior season to commit:
Diamond simply will not allow college recruiting to interfere with a high school season in which he hopes the Wolverines [ed: not those Wolverines] "finish the job" with a state title. "I'm not going to bring recruiting here to Simeon," Diamond said. "I'm not going to use that as a distraction to my teammates. I'm not even going to deal with it during the season, it's going to be after the season."
Though Michigan's coaches would love to have him, if the class fills up before he's ready to commit, Michigan won't be the choice. He's OK with missing out on opportunities by waiting:
Diamond doesn't fear schools will rescind his scholarship offers as time passes. If some do, that's fine with him. "Whoever wants me at the end," Diamond said. "It's going to be a dog fight. Anything is possible. The main thing is holding out and seeing where the real coaches are. The real coaches who stick there with you. That's what I'm looking for."
With Michigan's loss of Tony Posada, they may be more willing to wait on an elite lineman like Diamond. It probably means they'll take at least one more lineman.
Speaking of the offensive line, Duane Long ranks OH OL Commit Caleb Stacey as the #48 overall prospect in the Buckeye State:
The most underrated offensive lineman in Ohio. This kid is just a solid football player who has been well schooled. Ohio players get so much more exposure if the Buckeyes showed interest but Stacey is a guard, a very good guard. The Buckeyes have been offering tackles this year. I am sure we will see him in the Michigan starting lineup in three years time.
Go Caleb, go. Long's employer, Bucknuts, has ranked Caleb's fellow Michigan commit, OH DE Chris Wormley, as the top prospect in the Buckeye State.
Michigan is still on MI TE Ron Thompson's list, though it's unlikely that he could join Michigan's class.
NJ S Elijah Shumate has trimmed his list to six ($, info in header), and a quick glance at his profile page shows that Michigan is among the programs making the cut.
Happy Trails, GA WR Jason Croom, who committed to Tennessee. Michigan tossed him an offer in June, but he always seemed SEC-bound.
CA S Shaq Thompson doesn't include Michigan in his top 5, the schools to which he'll take official visits.
24/7 Sports throws down the gauntlet in the race to be the first service to rate prospects, with their initial 5-stars for 2013, along with the Top247 prospects in the class. Of note, MI OL Steve Elmer was one of the prospects close to 5-star status.
Last week's Sam Webb recruiting column in the Detroit News covered MI LB Jon Reschke. He sounds just about as Green-and-White as they come, but Michigan is making a move:
A return trip to Ann Arbor a month later for the "Barbecue at the Big House" also earned significant praise. "I went down there with my good friends Shane Morris and Wyatt Shallman," Reschke said. "It was great. We got to see the whole campus, the whole Big House, the locker room — everything. It definitely made me want to go to Michigan a little bit more."
He says Michigan coaches are waiting to see film of him playing linebacker (he was a defensive end for Brother Rice last year) before they'll extend an offer. He wants to make a commitment prior to his senior season.
Duane Long continues to wonder why Ohio State hasn't offered OH S/RB Dymonte Thomas:
His offer list is better than most seniors to be and he has not even stepped on the field as a junior. His grades are outstanding. He is know to be a high character kid. His measurables are legit. The argument that the Buckeyes are so deep at running back carries no weight. Thomas may be a better safety than he is a running back. I think he is, and he could not care less which position he plays. Baffling non-offer.
He seems like a Michigan lean, and the longer it takes for OSU to offer, the more the Wolverines can build that lead. Additionally, if it takes the Buckeyes too long to offer, Thomas could help sway his cousin, 2012 OH RB Bri'Onte Dunn, to Michigan.
Duane Long runs through some more 2013 prospects of interest.

Man denies fourth drunken driving offenseOctober 29,2013Man denies
fourth DUI
An Orwell man charged with a fourth offense of drunken driving denied the felony charge in court Monday.
Peter Pfenning, 50, pleaded innocent to a charge of DUI 4 which carries a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a minimum sentence of at least 192 consecutive hours of jail time.
Pfenning, who appeared in court on a citation, remains free on court-ordered conditions that include he not consume or possess alcohol and that he report daily to the Rutland County Sheriffs Department for alcohol testing.
Pfenning was arrested earlier this month after Vermont State Police said he was seen driving in the wrong lane on Route 7 in Clarendon. Police said Pfennings blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.188 percent. The legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Vermont is 0.08 percent.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

HIV & AIDS Health Center
On-Again, Off-Again HIV Treatment May Work
Aug. 29, 2000 -- Researchers say they may have found a way to enlist a person's immune system in the fight against HIV infection. If so, it may be possible to take a vacation from rigorous AIDS drug regimens that save lives but drain time, energy, and money.
The strategy is based on patients studied in a small trial at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. One of these patients, according to a report in the September issue of the Journal of Infectious Diseases, is keeping the virus under control four months after he stopped taking his anti-HIV drugs.
"We are in the stage of saying to ourselves, 'What if?'" senior author Luis J. Montaner, PhD, DVM, tells WebMD. "Everyone is very excited here and wondering how far you can push this."
The admittedly dangerous strategy is known as structured treatment interruption. Montaner and many other AIDS experts are quick to warn patients not to try this on their own. The concept emerged after the report of a now-famous patient from Germany called the "Berlin patient," who stopped taking his HIV drugs and then developed potent immune responses able to control his HIV infection. Several trials of different treatment interruption strategies are ongoing but are proceeding cautiously because of the dangers involved.
Researchers fear that the rebound of HIV and the subsequent loss of immune system cells seen when a patient stops treatment will reverse the hard-won gains of treatment. There are also well-grounded fears that repeated drug holidays will open the door to drug-resistant virus.
Montaner and colleagues recruited 10 HIV-infected individuals by word of mouth from a community HIV treatment center. Five of the people had never been on HIV drugs and did not develop an immune response against HIV. But the five others who started treatment and then stopped were able to mount an immune response against the virus.
In patients who had several treatment interruptions, with each interruption there was a smaller rebound of HIV and a greater increase in immunity against HIV. For one patient, this immunity appears to be controlling his HIV infection in the absence of drugs.

Shares in San Diego's Halozyme Therapeutics (Nasdaq: HALO) dropped sharply on Wednesday after the company announced it was launching a new offering of 7.7 million shares priced at $13 per share, compared to Wednesday's opening price of $13.55.
The stock dropped as low as $12.78, although it has since rebounded to around $13.20, even though the offering, which will close on Feb. 10, gives underwriters a 30-day option to buy an additional 1.2 million shares at the lower price.
Some investors may have been assuaged by a report by analysts at the Prohost Biotechnology newsletter who say the stock offering will be worthwhile over the long haul. The money will be used to help fund Phase 2 testing of the company's PEGPH20 program, aimed at treating pancreatic, breast, colon, prostate and other cancers.
"Is the project worth financing? Our answer is yes," said the newsletter, in a column reprinted on the Seeking Alpha investment website. The column noted that the program has had positive results in Phase 1 tests.

Been accused of witchcraft? We were alerted to a wonderful chart that was posted to the Lapham's Quarterly web site. Lapham's Quarterly is an excellent magazine of history and ideas. The chart they posted is a handy reference flowchart that details how to "avoid the ultimate punishment with this guide from the 1486 witch-hunting manual, the Malleus Maleficarum". Needless to say, we found it fascinating (and kind of funny, in a twisted sort of way).

SOURCE: Lindsay, Claire. "Re-Reading the Romance: Genre and Gender in Isabel Allende's 'Niña perversa'." Romance Studies 19, no. 2 (December 2001): 135-47.
In the following essay, Lindsay provides a socio-psychoanalytic reading of "Niña perversa" in order to examine Allende's use of romantic conventions in her fiction.
In an entry on 'Bestsellers' in the Encyclopedia of Latin American Literature, Deborah Shaw outlines a by now common criticism of the Chilean author Isabel Allende: 'Her novels depend on the exploitation of the romantic myth for their power to move and intrigue her readership. Romantic love, as in most women's best sellers, is where ultimate happiness and fulfilment are to be found'.1 Much of the current criticism of Allende's work hinges on this premise that the author exploits the romance genre in her best-selling...
