Despite the fact that over the past week news networks have almost exclusively covered cabinet post confirmation hearings and blizzard forecasts, another round of negotiations are beginning to heat up in Washington. Specifically, although lawmakers compromised on the American Tax Relief Act, three significant downside risks still remain:
- The spending sequester.
- The possibility of government shutdown.
- The debt ceiling.
As it stands right now, the self-imposed spending sequester will go into effect on March 1. According to forecasts by Macroeconomic Advisers, this massive across the board cut in government spending will reduce GDP growth "by 0.7 percentage points over the four quarters of 2013 (from 2.6 to 1.9) and by nearly a full percentage point over the second half of the year as the cuts build cumulatively." In other words, Congress is once again heading toward a down-to-the-wire agreement to resolve potentially disastrous self-imposed fiscal constraints.
Compounding the complex sequester conundrum is the fact that the government is currently operating based on a continuing resolution. This means that by April the federal government could run out of funds and be forced to begin shutting down. Despite the fact that the dispute in 1995 proved that government shutdowns are a dangerous game of political chicken, Congress seems be heading in that direction once again. According to analysis from Macroeconomic Advisers, such a shutdown could have disastrous consequences for the economy:
If, starting on April 1, a shutdown began affecting 36% of federal civilian workers, the static effect would be to reduce GDP growth in the second quarter by roughly ¼ percentage point for each week the shutdown lasted, and raise it a similar amount in the third quarter. The effect would arise mostly from the furloughing of non-essential federal workers whose production is valued at labor costs in the National Income and Product Accounts. If the shutdown was (expected to be) brief, the knock-on effects would be small. However, the longer the shutdown lasts, the broader its impact becomes and the more one must factor into the analysis multiplier effects as well as the escalation of uncertainty that would accompany a sustained disruption in government services and payments to federal contractors.
Essentially, for each week of government shutdown the GDP will grow ¼ percent less. Complicating this issue is the fact that the recent agreement to extend the debt ceiling until May is predicated on the need for a budget compromise. Another round of debt ceiling debates increases economic uncertainty and the likelihood that U.S. credit could face another downgrade. Projections indicate that this economic uncertainty could pose a 0.4 percent drag on GDP growth in 2013, even if the debt ceiling is eventually raised.
Adding all three of these growth retarding factors together, it would only take one month of government shutdown compounded with the sequester and debt ceiling uncertainty to turn our projected 2% annual growth in 2013 into an economic contraction. This assumes no further headwinds from Europe and sustained economic growth in Asia. In other words, thanks to political games the U.S. economy is not out of the woods. Even more disconcerting is the fact that should any or all of these factors precipitate, the Fed has almost no ability to offset the drain on the economy caused by fiscal policy.
With downside risks this high, it is extremely unlikely that the Fed will begin drawing down QE3 before significant fiscal resolution. However, should Congress and the President reach a "kumbaya moment" and resolve the sequester, agree on a budget and increase the debt ceiling, then absent substantial foreign pressures, investors should expect the Fed to begin "tapering off" QE3 in the second half of the year, most likely in September. Since the last sustained highs before the conclusion of QE2 occurred roughly four months prior, and that would likely coincide with market highs after a resolution of the various fiscal problems, investors should look to exit equities in May, if not before.

I have a Nexus 7 3G and I often need to send network service commands (e.g., to use top-up codes or to activate/de-activate data-plans), but can't find a way to do it from the tablet. Instead I'm forced to take the SIM card out of the Nexus and put it into a mobile phone temporarily. Is there a way to do this directly from the Nexus 7?
I think USSD Checker is the app that you are looking for.
It allows you to send USSD codes to your network without the use of a dialer. I haven't tried it myself though so comment whether it works or not would help.
came across this, check if it helps. ......
i'm in indonesia, i use nexus 7 lte 2013, first i do is unlocked n root it. then i install ussd dialer from play store... voila.. its worked.. last thing i do is install xposed framework n xposed sms module.. no problemo with pre-paid card... heheheheh

Reviews for Arizona Deaf Senior Citizens Coalition Inc
The mission statement: The mission and objective of the ADSCC is to improve the welfare of deaf senior citizens in state of Arizona. The purpose of the ADSCC is to form a state-wide organization to establish deaf senior citizen housing and care complexes.
Banish Extreme Loneliness! That is our slogan. As we get older, many of us go to existing retirement homes that are not at all designed for us. the neighbhors and the staff ignore us because they cannot communicate with us. That causes extreme loneliness for many of us. Finally Apache ASL Trails Phase 1 for low income opened on July 17, 2011 with 75 affordable apartments at 2428 E. Apache Blvd, Tempe, AZ 85281.

Currently this organization is "sponsor organization" for Apache ASL Trials. Cardinal Capital Management will operate AAT for fifteen years from 2011. In the fifteenth year, 2026 ADSCC will have the first option to buy Apache ASL Trails. Our next project is Phase 2 on the same site. it will be 50-apartment cooperative building of 4 stories like Phase 1. After this, we will focus on housing needs in Tucson, AZ.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
This organization does not need any changes. It is the voice of deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind seniors who use American Sign Language. We can read and write English.

Yum. I love almost anything Cajun and loved these with my breakfast. Easy and good. Thanks for sharing, Sharon. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag.
Wow, these potatoes are amazing! I had them with a salad for a main dish and DH had them as a side for his burger. I did cut down on the salt and increase the garlic a little, and I just eyeballed the spices. Other than that, made exactly as directed. It was so quick and easy to throw together, this will be a regular at my house from now on. Thank you, Sharon!
Potato dishes are always an easy sell in my family. This one is no exception. I loved the addition of the pepper. I used a red pepper rather than green as that was what I had in the fridge. This was served with stuffed peppers. Made for Sharon's Cookathon 2010.

I have tried to find a solution for this for a while now without luck. Wanted to check if there already is an add-on or easy hack before I attempt to write my own.
In my opinion this must be quite a common scenario:
Thunderbird is configured using IMAP.
In order to save mailbox storage space I want deleted messages to end up in my Local Trash folder and not in my IMAP Trash folder when messages are deleted.
Is there any way to achieve this? (I know I can move messages from IMAP Trash to Local Trash manually).
Server Settings only show IMAP folders as alternatives:

Yup, the new Sammys are picky as hell. I don't have one but I did mod an XBOX for a buddy that had one. The only thing it would read were Taiyo Yuden DVD-R (one of the highest quality manufacturers, read the link in my sig for more details). You can order 4x Taiyo Yuden for dirt cheap. Check out http://www.supermediastore.com $31 shipped for 100 of them. You might be able to get them cheaper if you enter in the following coupon code: summer10. Should knock off 10% if it works.
Posted 29 August 2005 - 08:18 PM
Yea thanks I may buy those. It makes me so mad that I got this crappy drive especially since I bought it off ebay thinking it was the good samsung, I got screwed.
Well maybe I will do the same and sell it on ebay. I also had another drive that I got from a new xbox and it was a samsung and I sold it to my buddy thinking it was another good one. Looks like we both got stuck with these drives that don't read crap.
I figured my samsung whould read anything I was so happen, so far it reads nothing. The farthest I ever got was to get it to finally load a emu disc only to have to lock up or move slower then molasses.
S o this is a WARNING to anyone who gets the new samsungs "THEY SUCK" . Make sure when you buy one off ebay it isn't my version. Unless your actually going buy mine:)

That is valid until 9/5/05. So if they get back in stock prior to that date then feel free to use it. Less than $28 shipped per 100 discs.

A Four-Link For Project X - PHR Project CarWritten by on March 12, 2008 Contributors: Chuck Cloud GM Rewrites The Book On Functional Pro Street, With A Futuristic Rear Suspension That Comes Straight From The Factory.
The legend of Project X continues to grow, and thanks to the people at General Motors, this latest chapter in the life of American's favorite project car promises to be the best one yet. As GM Performance Parts was bolting together the first-ever prototype Anniversary 427 big-block, the crew at GM Performance Division set out to separate this generation of Project X from all others that came before. Last time, we took you deep within the heart of GM, the Design Center in Warren, Michigan, for a behind-the-scenes look at how the world-class technicians of GM Performance Division used advanced math data and vehicle dynamics to meld the 50-year-old frame of Project X with the vibrant, young front chassis and suspension of a 2008 C6 Corvette. And, while that project set the bar for the level of expertise (as well as passion) that was lavished on the car, it left us wondering what other surprises this team of master car builders had in store for Project X.
When Project X arrived in Detroit, Mike Copeland, the drill sergeant of this General's army, demanded that each person who was going to be assigned to the build take a turn behind the wheel. He did this not just to motivate an already lathered-up squad, but he wanted their expert "seat of their pants" interpretation of where the car was, and what the team could do better. Without question, the rear suspension was one of the areas on Project X they determined could be done better.
Now, understand that Project X came to GM equipped with your typical ladder bar rear suspension with some adjustability, and carried a Ford 9-incher into battle. Not an uncommon setup, but it certainly leans toward the "race" side of the gallery. For this build, Copeland wanted something that took Pro Street to a functional level that Project X had never before seen. While the ladder bars were great for 60-foot times, the lack of compliance on road surfaces as well as poor handling characteristics in anything but a straight line didn't match the progressive, modern car that Project X was destined to become.
The ladder bars had to go! But what do you replace them with? The GM Performance Division crew chose a triangulated four-link with coilover struts held within a narrowed stock frame with a Strange center section. The four-link offers many advantages over the ladder bar setup. First, it's stronger, especially with the additional triangulated material added into the seams of the 2.5 inches that are narrowed for tire fitment. Second, the four-link is much more compliant on the road, offering up an incredibly smooth ride. Third, the four-link is infinitely adjustable for custom applications. And finally, the four-link is a much more modern suspension that offers the finished vehicle good handling and strength all in one package.
Like the entire car, the rear suspension was first designed in math, then the GM engineers got down to incorporating the upgraded suspension within the confines of the '57 Chevy frame. We've also shown you how GM started with the desired back tire (a 16-inch-wide Mickey Thompson) and fit it in the car before they ever laid a torch to it. And while the team certainly took advantage of the millions of dollars worth of equipment at their disposal, a simple wooden fixture that mimics the profile of the tire allowed for a check of tire clearance at any given suspension travel point. We've put together a sequence of photography that will help illustrate how the rear suspension was developed, engineered, and finally built into the car. And for all of you aspiring '57 Chevy builders out there, you can find the actual math data for this build on our Web site at www.popularhotrodding.com.
Next month, we'll be back with a series of small vignettes that detail just a few of the hundreds of custom touches that have been engineered into this car. Some are custom fabrication work, others are modern GM engineering applied to a 50-year-old car, and other areas of this build are simply car-building mastery that you'll only find from car builders of this caliber.

Mario Orlando and Darin White set the chassis up on the surface plate for modification. Remember that the surface plate offers the technician an XYZ number that precisely locates every point of the car.Our '57 goes under the knife. Here, cuts to the frame have been made, and the work continues with the team laying out the pieces of the rear frame that will be narrowed.Here's the stock '57 frame cleaned up and marked just prior to the narrowing. Sitting on the surface plate, the frame has been leveled, and all of the measurements have been done with the portage equipment.Here's a close-up of the framerail ends that have been capped just prior to being put back together with the designed offset.The welded frame ends have been triangulated for strength.

The four-link arms were test-fit to ensure proper fit and location.Mike Copeland watches technician Mike Hair build the coilover mounts. Here, Hair sets the QA1 shocks into location so that he can start locating the mounts.The GM Performance Division team checks the location of the upper shock mount before starting the other side. Again, XYZ location numbers from the GM math data give them the precise location of every point of the rear suspension.
Here's Project X's frame, fresh out of the paint shop at GM. Note the driveshaft loop that is built into the transmission crossmember. Also, check out the narrowed and strengthened rear section, and a widened rear crossmember so that the stock bumper can bolt back on.Project X's body is lowered back on the custom frame to check for body mounts and clearance. Guess what, it fit-perfectly.

Free orchestra concert provides unique listening opportunity
Published: Monday, March 14, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 14, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
HOUMA — You can enjoy a springtime musical treat and learn more about instruments during a Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra concert.
The orchestra is set to perform from 3 to 5 p.m. March 20 at Southdown Plantation, 1208 Museum Drive, Houma.
The event will also feature a pre-concert "Behind the Sounds" program from 2:15-2:45 p.m. The event is designed for children and families to have a chance to meet the musicians of the LPO and enjoy a hands-on program to learn about the musical instrument they perform.
"We are proud to bring this event to Houma ... because it allows people who might not normally have the opportunity to see an orchestra perform do so," said Katie Lecompte, Southdown Plantation's executive director. "We feel that everyone should be able to attend wonderful music events like this. We hope Terrebonne and surrounding areas participate in this extraordinary event."

City Slipped These Tron-ish Bonds
For quite some time, I've been wrestling with an increasingly persnickety, possibly coal-powered, desktop computer, which had finally flamed out to the degree where it was risky to have Word and the Net open at the same time, making successfully spelling the likes of Chiwetal Ejiofor in a review a serious chore. (And let's not even talk about the theoretical difficulty in theoretically viewing a site like Suicide Girls. Theoretically.) So, anyway, I finally decided to mortgage my future in order to buy a new laptop, and the thing is fly. Most of my brain is still rendered agog by all the newfangled bells and whistles — it comes with pinball! — but I'm starting to think about testing out the whole portable Wifi thing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the locations of some decent, semi-quiet, writer-friendly hangouts around these parts? Thanks much. See Brick. And/or Slither.

Can you believe it's time to start planning for the holiday shopping season already?
You may think it's too soon, but with big shopping days like Black Friday (Nov. 27), Small Business Saturday (Nov. 28), and Cyber Monday (Nov. 30) coming up in November, you'll want to start planning your email content now.
In particular, you'll want your email content to be share worthy. This way your current audience will help you spread the word about your business to their friends, who make great prospects for shopping with you this holiday season.
So, how do you create share-worthy content? Here are some ideas:
1. Remind your audience of your shared values
People like to support and spend money with businesses that share the same values and support the same causes. They also like to share information regarding those values and causes. If there's a particular cause your business supports or values you stand behind, the holidays are a great time to remind your audience.
Some interesting stats according to the goodpurpose 2012 study:
- 72% of consumers would recommend a brand that supports a good cause over one that doesn't
- The survey also found that 71% of consumers would help a brand promote their products or services if there is a good cause behind them
- 73% of consumers would switch brands if a different brand of similar quality supported a good cause
2. Provide added value
You may be thinking about sending product ads to your email subscribers, but you also want to consider how you can add value for your audience as well. Content that people find valuable will get more use and more shares.
According to a study by the Custom Content Council:
- Two-thirds of consumers appreciate it when brands offer custom content
- More than three-quarters are fine with the fact that businesses are selling something as long as the information is valuable
- Nearly 75% say they prefer information from companies in the form of articles over ads.
3. Engage your audience with social campaigns and special offers
As you might imagine, people still love to get a great deal. And they love to share those savings with their friends. Especially when email and social media are used together. "Like us" campaigns with an offer in the subject line had higher overall revenue per email than those without offers.
Here are the top performing offers for "Like us" campaigns from the Experian Quarterly Benchmark Study (Q2 2012):
- An offer of a free item increased open rates by 47.3%
- Coupons increased click rates by 52.7%
- A percent off increased revenue per email by 95.4%
Looking for more holiday marketing advice?
Join us for our free online event, Rock the Holidays with a Great Promotion.
During this webinar, we'll discuss:
- How to easily create a holiday marketing strategy
- 5 ways to make your promotion stand out in a crowded inbox
- How to create offers that drive results
- How to determine the best times to send and post

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - With his team reeling heading into the NCAA tournament, Texas coach Rick Barnes sounds like a gardener trying to coax life out of a dying plant.
Keep watering and hope it sprouts, Barnes says.
Then again, sometimes it drowns.
Texas isn't dead yet, just suffering from a serious case of root rot.
Barnes has struggled to find the right balance between nurturing and tough love with a team talented enough to reach No. 1 this season. The Longhorns head into the NCAA tournament unranked and seeded No. 8 in the East Regional.
Texas (24-9) plays ninth-seeded Wake Forest (19-10) on Thursday in New Orleans.

This is essentially a textbook of regional human anatomy. It is not intended to present applied anatomy in the usual meaning of surgical anatomy. Instead, the applications of anatomic knowledge to medicine and surgery are systematically pointed out. Embryologic, phylogenetic, and physiological phenomena are stressed if helpful to the understanding of anatomic structure. The author has avoided presenting minutiae unless necessary for the understanding of anatomic principles. The text is clear and to the point, and the illustrations are generally good.

text: Nancy Reagan Jacqueline Kennedy\nThe Private Quarters of Two First Ladies During their Reigns at the White House\nAt the start of Ronald Reagan's first term, the former First Lady (above, in the Red Room in 1984) enlisted the help of designer Ted Graber to update the private White House rooms (see Architectural Digest, December 1981). "This house belongs to all Americans," she once said.\nFor her office, Nancy Reagan favored retaining existing White House furniture, which she had refurbished. Only the mirror over the fireplace and the 18th-century day-bed were acquired for the room. The wildflower prints were reproduced from 1925 botanical watercolors.\nThe Reagans brought the comforts of home to the White House: Furnishings from their California residence were incorporated into the West Sitting Hall, which the president and First Lady used as a living room. Nancy Reagan added her own small decorative objects.\nA 17th-century coromandel screen decorated the antiques-filled Central Hall. For this and other areas, Nancy Reagan personally culled stored furniture that had been used by previous first families—"beautiful pieces that were deteriorating and needed to be restored," she noted.\nJust off the First Family Bedroom was President Reagan's private study, which he used on evenings and weekends. It contained his own possessions, such as the mahogany partners desk and the pre-Columbian sculpture on the mantel. The small painting is by George Catlin.\nThe Queens' Sitting Room was left virtually untouched from when it had been revamped under Jacqueline Kennedy, who approved the blue-and-white fabric for the walls, draperies, valance and furniture. The 19th-century Aubusson rug was placed in the room in 1971.\n"She has been deeply involved with everything we've done," Graber said about Nancy Reagan's role in the project.\\n\\nA Paul Clemens portrait of her and her daughter, Patti, hung in the First Lady's Dressing Room.\nA floral fabric was chosen for the room's walls.\nHand-painted Chinese paper depicting birds and bamboo enveloped the First Family Bedroom in light.\nThe Reagans enjoy a quiet moment in their bedroom. About the completed interiors, the First Lady said, "Each room, when I look at it, seems to be my favorite."\nSoon after her arrival at the White House as the wife of 35th president John F. Kennedy, the First Lady (above, in 1961) set about renovating the private quarters. Collector Henry Francis du Pont was consulted on the antiques, and interior designers Sister Parish and Stéphane Boudin were brought in for the décor.\nJacqueline Kennedy wished for the West Sitting Hall to resemble her Georgetown living room. She and Sister Parish devised an informal conversation area near the window.\nTo the Boudin-designed First Lady's Dressing Room, she added a leopard throw.\nThe First Lady's Bedroom—which she also wanted "the same as it was in Georgetown"—as done by Sister Parish. The decorator chose the daisy-motif draperies and helped her place the Chinese porcelain.\nJacqueline Kennedy with the children, John and Caroline, in 1962.


text: The JHOVE parser for PDF, which I maintain, will sometimes find a non-dictionary object in a PDF's Annots array. According to section 8.4.1 of the PDF spec, the Annots array holds "an array of annotation dictionaries." In the case that I'm looking at right now, there's a keyword of "Annot" instead of a dictionary. Is this an invalid PDF file, or is there a subtlety in the spec which I've overlooked?

ITHACA, NY — While the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will be battling for on-field supremacy in Super Bowl XLIX, it's the battle for on-screen supremacy that has many TV watchers excited.
And for the second straight year, one of the commercials getting the most pre-game attention has been created by the marketing agency founded by Ithaca College alum Jason...
Photography Professor Ron Jude will travel to Germany this week to open a solo exhibition at Robert Morat Galerie in Hamburg, and give a lecture about his work at Leipzig University in Leipzig.
The opening reception for the exhibition is scheduled for Friday, January 16th at 6:00 pm.

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
dear diary
Dear Diary Reaches Peak Off-Season
Meet Raul Wallenberg, who did more with his Michigan degree than, well, anyone:
Wallenberg developed a system of Swedish safe-houses, and eventually worked to create a separate international ghetto for Jews under protection from Sweden and other neutral powers. He created a rescue team that worked to protect those under Swedish protection--in some instances, they would impersonate Nazi officials in order to demand Jews from death marches, and then return them to Budapest. For his actions, Wallenberg was a target of multiple assassination attempts.
Then he disappeard, but man that guy had some chutzpah. In Michigan guys who didn't save thousands of lives, ReadYourGuard, who played some football at Michigan himself, has started interviewing former players. His first is Clay Miller. His story includes Bo's first use of the goal line formation. It is very much worth a read.
The annual betting prospectus. Tim Tolman from The Saturday Edge puts out a free betting prospectus every year for the Big Ten. Again, I like to read the gamblers' takes because they're forced to be more realistic. On the other hand:
My biggest gripe is he expects Rashan Gary to replace Willie Henry at 3-tech; if Gary starts it's because Wormley is at 3-tech and Gary is at SDE. One man's guess at how the DL will shake out on competitive snaps:
|Anchor (SDE)
|Tackle (3-tech)
|End (WDE)
|Gary (40%)
|Wormley (40%)
|Glasgow (53%)
|Charlton (75%)
|Wormley (45%)
|Hurst (40%)
|Mone (45%)
|Winovich (20%)
Marshall (15%)
Gary (10%)
|Hurst (2%)
Gary (5%)
That has Wormley and Taco on the field most of the time, Glasgow and Mone rotating to stay fresh (Hurst is the NT only when they go Bear), Hurst getting a lot of play at DT, and Gary on the field about half the time, but all over the line. It'll probably change up from game to game as Don Brown decides which dude is best suited for his particular matchup.
Anyway Tim doesn't even say the name Hurst, even though Matt Godin and Brady Pallante(!) come in for mentions. If Pallante plays non-garbage time this year there would have to be a plume of green smoke where the DT two-deep once stood.
Part time blogger. Our mods don't get the appreciation they deserve. Sometimes it shows. Hit play at the bottom, skip the first 30 seconds, and sing along:
You are struggling to defend your dumb notion
It's half-cocked, riddled with emotion
When the words don't come you turn it all around
Throw out a "f---", then run the ship aground
It's actually good.
First year QB: A problem? User unWavering wrote a diary that starts by showing you every national champion or runner up QB since 2000 and that half were first-time starters. If you extend that to the start of the BCS era you get Vick, junior Weinke, the guy who replaced Peyton Manning, and Marcus Outzen (Weinke was injured). None of them were coached by Jim Harbaugh. Quarterback will be fine; injuries to the offensive line, bad linebacker play, safeties regressing, and games when O'Neill's crew are officiating are my biggest concerns.
From Johnny Orr to Beilein. The helpful thread title is Michigan has now produced more 1st round NBA Draft picks than any other program in the B1G. Indiana has more first and second rounders historically but Beilein's national championship game roster alone had four first-rounders on it plus a second-rounder.
What is the one question you would ask Warde Manuel?
How can I help?
Seriously. And feel free to pass that along.
[After the jump: a good reason to thank the troops, a draw-a-Woliverine competition, and an important update on Michigan's QB battle.]
[No not really but you'll want to see it anyway.]
Dear Diary Needs a Bigger Three
If by now you haven't clicked on the thread that says "Jim Harbaugh starred in a 1990's video game commercial" I don't know what to say to you. There's a thread on our board that promises a video game commercial from the '90s starring Jim Harbaugh. Presumably it links to a video of said commercial. Presumably this video is the source of those eyeglow memes you've come across. Presumably you have already clicked and I'm talking into space. Except Harbaugh's already blown that up:

The big reveal is Kekoa (Dylan) Crawford will wear #1 but the rest of the freshmen have also been tweeting their numbers. Many of them do not have numbers but have lockers with temporary 1s or 2s (or 9) on yellow sticky notes.
|"We're gonna need a bigger 3." –Hotel Putingrad
New ones I was able to turn up from that thread plus a run through the Twitters:
- #1: Kekoa Crawford
- #3: Rashan Gary
- #7: Khaleke Hudson
- #10: Nate Johnson
- #22 David Long
Loving the Nate Johnson-Jeremy Gallon comparison. For the record, the yellow sticky notes were Eubanks (1), Mbem-Bosse (1), Asiasi (2), Lavert Hill (2), and Devin Gil (9). The other thing I noticed is the freshmen all have lockers separate from the rest of the team again. I believe Harbaugh reinstituted this last year to let the class form a bond.
As for #1, I'm glad someone will be wearing it again. It was cool that Lloyd made Braylon earn it but AC, McMurtry, Alexander, Butterfield, and Terrell all got to put it on as freshmen. And don't you dare say he's too small for it or I'll whip you with 40 gifs of Anthony Carter.
Of course none of them will ever be as great as the first receiver to wear #1 at Michigan, Tall Paul Goebel. If someone else doesn't beat me to it I'm going to write an HTTV special on him next year and calling it Number One. For now read his Wikipedia page.
According to @kevintresolini of @delawareonline, Chrissi Rawak of @UMich will be announced as @UDelaware's first female athletic director.
— The Review (@udreview) May 13, 2016
Rawak got mixed reviews in Bacon's book. She came to Michigan on a swimming scholarship in 1988 and stayed after graduation as an assistant for six years, covering 10 of a 12-year Big Ten title run. She then came back in 2004 to run HR, and was a rising star in Martin's administration.
Under Brandon Chrissi' staff increased from five to 60, and her responsibilities expanded to just about everywhere, including notably, PR director—without any training—just in time for the Shane Morris Incident.
On one hand the masses can't feel too bad about losing Dave Brandon's top lieutenant/hatchet man. On the other, Bacon clearly had sympathy for this competent, Michigan-loving person who was constantly being put in positions to fail by a boss she felt loyalty to. This seems like a departure both sides win.

Dear Diary Vacates the Battle of Hastings
so happy we found each other [Joe Dressler for MGoBlog]
SPIKE & CARIS & MAAR & DAWKINS & CALVES (and Colton). Since Beilein's in the market for a last minute addition or two, Lanknows wrote us a quick look-back at the guys he's found in a pinch before. I mean, I'm kind of nervous right now—we expected attrition but not that much attrition. But this list would be a ludicrous level of bargain bin success if he had found them all two years before they committed. Even after a disappointing season you have to wonder why nobody else thought Johnny Dawkins's superbly athletic son was worth a scholarship except Dayton.
IT'S STILL PROBABLY HIS ACCURACY BUT WHOA DADDY. This site is about to be a safe haven for a nation swimming in politics, so I am going to be extra careful about keeping the politics where they belong. But you know who doesn't think politics are off limits? Connor Cook's dad.
And here's some from the xenophobic shelf ….. pic.twitter.com/C77Tt3zjCT
— Jeff Moss (@JeffMossDSR) May 5, 2016
Connor Cook probably slipped in the draft either because his accuracy, while effective enough for college, suggests he'll be even less effective in the NFL than Dak Prescott (link: Football Outsiders' QBase draft projections). Or maybe because his shoulder was pretty messed up and early draft contracts are a lot to gamble on an arm that might fall out. But Daddy being a clearly awful at humanity in 80% of his 1800 tweets probably didn't help.
If you like me can only handle so much Jeff Moss, go use that up now.
HASHTAG NINETY-FOUR. I think retroactively erasing the outcomes of games makes as much sense as vacating the Norman conquest of England because Harold never swore any such thing, and anyway the Godwins were in truth fine patrons of the Church so the Cross of St. George never should have been allowed to play.
But if they did decide to re-vacate every JoePa victory since he discovered Jerry Sandusky's a sexual predator, according to a court document that now goes back to 1976:
The line in question states that one of Penn State's insurers has claimed "in 1976, a child allegedly reported to PSU's Head Coach Joseph Paterno that he (the child) was sexually molested by Sandusky."
Stuff's still coming out as the legal ramifications of a long-held campus secret become relevant in criminal proceeding or, in this case, a civil case brought by Penn State's insurer, who claims they shouldn't be on the hook for the damages if administrators knew and didn't tell them. Hard not to agree.
I've had my fill of Ha Ha Penn State. It's more a sobering reminder that betraying morality for what you love is betraying the thing you love. Also a sobering reminder that PSU twitter—aka #409—is awful. So I guess what I'm saying is if they did knock his win total back to every game after he knew and didn't stop it, Joe has 94 wins. #094.
MITCH LEIDNER CAN THROW SPIRALS YOU GUYS I'M SRLSY. Okay nobody posted (Ace linked it in Slack today) this but it should be a thread since the Daily Gopher is having to explain why Todd McShay put Leidner in his 2017 mock draft.
In the first round. As a quarterback. Of the NFL. The football one!
Then the Daily Gopher goes on to explain that yes Leidner can throw a spiral using a video in which Leidner comically doesn't throw spirals and wracks up highlights by QB sneaking a half a yard. No idea why Gopher fans think moving the ball half a yard is an accomplishment. I mean it should be automatic.
And yes, chucking it where the only way it's not intercepted by Jeremy Clark is if Clark can't believe he'd chuck it there is on the reel. Amazingly his pinpoint slant that beat Jourdan Lewis on 4th down isn't.
ALL ABOARD BOATY MGOBOATFACE. Rivals shared the list of satellite camps that are back on. Map? Map.
There's also rumors of camps to be held in the Pacific Islands, at which point the MGoStaff mutinied and demanded Brian add an option to the Kickstarter to send us all to cover it—all hands on deck. And by that we mean rent a yacht to get us all there. And by that we mean we could use your help naming the boat. Leaders so far are Boaty MGoBoatFace and Happy Ever After, No Brandon's [sic].
So what I'm getting at here is that for a $30,000 contribution to HTTV's kickstarter you can have two books (one of them signed), the shirt, a sentence on the thank you page, and three co-workers and I will personally travel to Hawaii to deliver a copy to Harbaugh.
Speaking of Michigan's Hawaiian presence, I just finished prepping Craig Ross's article researching the first games of football and it is fascinating. Like I am going to bug Craig to make this his next book.
ETC. Professor Needs a Raise got his raise, is now part of the football program. A thread about Cool World apparently. Magnus (and MGoFish and Brandon the new guy at MnB) gets crystal ball. Space Coyote on defending the pull.
Your Moment of Zen:
I Am Very Proud Not to Have Taken Unnecessary Shots at the South in this Dear Diary
Left: Jim and Sam, who is smiling, because when is he not? Right: Little Demo, who is giving the look big demo used to give little defensive linemen
Last February I went to that Harbaugh & Harbaugh thing that inducted the brothers into the Pioneer HS Hall of Fame. As part of the charity auction they had each brother sign a Pioneer helmet. First they auctioned John's helmet, but Jim Harbaugh outbid everyone. Jim sat down with his new John Harbaugh helmet, and signed the other side.
Then they auctioned the one Jim signed. A lot of people bid, including my friend Matt Demorest, but now it's a competition: John outbid them all, signed his far more expensive helmet, and sat it back down in front of Sam Webb, instructing the auctioneer that he was donating it back to the cause.
So here's the auctioneer, who can't figure out what just happened even though the audience had tracked it well enough. On the other end of the table there's Jim glaring like this is going to end in a wrestling match. In between them are Sam and Ira smiling like their teeth can keep them from bursting out laughing.
Jim leaps up and jams his helmet into the auctioneer's hands: "I'm donating this back too." The auctioneer's like okay…throws out a number near what John Harbaugh just paid, and for a moment it's silent before Demorest stands up with a massive finger in the air. His kid pumps his fist and goes "YES!" Sam loses it.
So if you're wondering where your money goes when you buy or refinance with Matt, yeah, he just blows it all on hats. Fortunately it doesn't cost you much since Homesure Lending is a small shop without the usual overhead, and you'll make that back in a few months of your less expensive mortgage. Good deal.
User Jay Z bought a copy of this print, and was trying to figure out game; the readers figured out it's 1989 Maryland. In the process it inspired two more threads: mine on your favorite memorabilia, and Wolverine Historian's list of things the stadium used to have in 1989 that it doesn't have now.
That list:
- Flagpoles
- Backflips off the front row
- Flinging toilet paper
- Marshmallows
- Drinking beer in the stands
- Packed student section
Go in there's gifs and discussion.
On the bits of memorabilia, M Fanfare put you all to shame:
And finally, probably the most unusual piece of UM memorabilia I own, given to me by one of my groomsmen when I got married. It's from a book written by a UM geology professor right after World War I about why, in his opinion, the war broke out. But what makes it unique is who owned this particular copy. The author inscribed it to him.
"To Fielding H. Yost, With the best regards of Wm H. Hobbs, Ann Arbor, Oct 3, 1922."
To those of you who bought bits of the old turf, that was all the doing of Bob Lipson, the guy who created and produced Michigan Replay.
[After the JUMP: I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a burning desire to write something on Tunsil, in case you want to hear me make the same case Brian already made today.]
Dear Diary Versus Politics
THE WORST ELECTION IN HISTORY. My favorite Youtuber CGP Grey loves talking about how electoral processes can subvert the will of the electorate (of the animal kingdom—no politics). Grey's choice for "worst election in history" was the latest U.K. one, but the professors may change his mind when he sees how the NCAA's vote on satellite camps turned this electorate…
…into a vote for green. As it says in the title, Mr. Elbel went about the internet collecting published opinions from coaches and administrators. Keep in mind that the Power 5 conferences on the left count double, but still, the totals:
I couldn't exactly recreate his breakdown. Like in that HBO Kevin Spacey movie (which is not reality), one side showed up ready to leverage every crack for a victory while the other sat there disorganized and oblivious to what was going on. That's how the dill hole at Texas State could vote to duke his own coach, and the Pac-12's representative could be manipulated to vote against his whole conference.
Going forward the concern here is that the version the Pac-12 was trying to avoid—the one that basically says Harbaugh can't go to Bowling Green's camp but the vice versa is okay—might get passed instead, since it addresses the main concern of those Other Five undecideds, many of whom are inclined to vote against the Big Ten out of dislike for Delany.
Mr. Elbel is the Diary Dude of the week.
SPEAKING OF CORRUPT THINGS RUN BY JERK-OFFS stephenrjking was inspired by the stupid Hobey vote to offer…um…reforms for college hockey. Here perhaps the troublesome bloc working for parochial advantages to the detriment of the sport are the small eastern schools, for whom moving a playoff game from a campus arena to the NHL Garden four subway stops down the line is a boon. Of course nobody wins by having the Frozen Four in Tampa, except whomever's pockets get lined by the Tampa tourism bureau.
#ISTANDWITHACE STANDS WITH ACE, IF YOU CAN CONVINCE ACE TO STAND THERE. Brian has this pet opinion that Happy Gilmore is a terrible movie. I'll admit I haven't watched it since college, when my opinions on movies were clouded by, um, clouds. Though never meaning to take an extremist position on the subject, poor Ace kind of became the defender by default of an Adam Sandler movie. The argument took to Twitter last week, where a final vote decided that Ace is correct.
In MGoSlack chat, BiSB made the comparison of Sandler movies to Nickelback: no one production is so awful itself but whole of the suck is worse than the sum of its parts. Of course if your position is "this thing I am defending is like Nickelback" you've already lost.
THROWBACK THREAD DAY: The wiki hasn't been updated in ages, so this thread on great funny threads in history was a fun one. Some of the classics:
- Wife Day
- The time WolverineInaBag outed himself while pretending to be a visiting Bama insider
- Nebraska fan says hai guys, perfect response, thread locked.
- Rich Rod's staff has a netmeeting
I should probably do a Dear Diary all-time article one of these days.
Etc. OSU lost a DT. lol UNC. Things I noticed re-watching the spring game. Welcome a West Coast cop to the bandwagon. The money cannon continues unabated. No mercy.

Dear Diary Loves You And Just Wants to See You Get Over Anastos
I have heard your cries; it's time to catch up on the quasi-offseason's user-generated content.
What the… heck is that pic above? Markp (the p is for photoshop) decided to mock up the Big House with a couple of upper decks, and colored in the endzones themselves. I present without comment. For the record, Brian turned me around on the luxury boxes exactly ten years ago this week.
Every snap by QB. DGDestroys broke up every snap of the spring game by quarterback, because just being a good dude wasn't enough to justify his existence on the planet and he just had to make himself ludicrously useful. I plan to Hennechart this. DGDestroys is your Diary Dude of the Week.
More Don Brown D: Space Coyote took issue with the assertion that Michigan's D was doing some Spartan D-like things, and went about discussing what Brown's Cover 2 concepts look like, i.e. why it's not really a base "Quarters". This is the upshot:
But at the end of the day, [Brown] is a "multiple" coach, which Michigan has almost always been dating back a long time. This, in and of itself, makes it very different than what MSU and OSU are doing.
The BC playbook that James Light made available that we're all pouring through does have a package called "Spartan" that does some of what MSU does (at right).
But that is page 144 of the playbook, i.e. just a thing they have to bring out against certain opponents or as a changeup, not the base thing. Brown's cover 2 is a kind of read, but it's not that kind of read.
This is all getting away from the more important distinction, which is that Michigan will line up their DL so the "Anchor" (strongside end) is outside the tackle. This widening the front to squeeze the LBs inside is an MSU characteristic too, though unrelated to the coverage system. One of the things it does is keeps the SAM clean so you can play a much lighter and quicker player there (e.g. Peppers). The tradeoff is your middle linebacker had better be good at thumpin' and getting off blocks.
Space Coyote is not your dude of the week, but he's a Guy.
Worth discussion. Sharik followed up a diary about head injuries with various positive ideas for making football safer. Going to Rugby-style tackling rules and possession arrows for fumbles make paper sense, but it seems tougher to implement than making football men wear girdles, i.e. never going to happen. But making the equipment softer for the guy on the receiving end, especially helmets and shoulder pads, seems…plausible?
Changeup routes. Docwhoblocked went to Michigan's recent coaching clinic and was moved to write up what he heard from, so far, three of the sessions he attended. Frank Beamer talked mostly about special teams. Art Briles was in there too but a lot of it was for coaches' ears and thus not that useful to you as a fan. But I found this bit interesting for the irony:
His offensive strategy: Tell the receivers to run as fast as they can and then tell the quarterback to throw it as far as he can.
Ironic because Smart Football last year wrote about how Briles's offense stretches the field diagonally by having receivers *not* run as fast as they can. The defense still has to cover the lollygaggers, which creates more space for whoever's streaking downfield, and sometimes get lulled to sleep by a trotting receiver who then turns on the jets. I bet Harbaugh starts using some lollygagging in his offense soon.
Doc also wrote up the Harbaugh, Harbaugh, and Harbaugh session.

A couple of days ago I was speaking at an event in Dallas and was reminded that sometimes those of us in storage get too wrapped up in, well, storage and that IT professionals have other things to worry about than just storage. I asked the audience how many of them had done anything with deduplication. Only 30% had, although 100% wanted to know more.With all the news about NetApp and EMC in a bidding war to buy Data Domain. It might make sense for us to pause a moment and help explain why these two companies are willing to pay almost $2 billion dollars for the market leading provider of this technology.
Deduplication at its most simple level, examines data, compares it to other data that is already stored and if that data is identical, instead of storing that second copy of data the deduplication technology establishes a link to the original data. It requires significantly less storage space to establish a link than to actually store the file.
Deduplication first gained traction as a technology to enhance disk backup. Without deduplication your disk backup had to scale to store multiple full backups and several weeks worth of incremental backups. Even with the plummeting price of ATA storage the cost to configure a disk array to store even a months worth of backups, let alone the power, cooling and space required by the array was enormous.
If you do backups you know that this data, especially in full backups, is highly redundant and this is where deduplication shines, as a result it was the first market that the technology became a requirement and companies like Data Domain and Avamar became market leaders. Avamar was snatched up by EMC but Data Domain made it all the way to becoming a public company.
What really drove Data Domain's success in the backup space is the ability to replicate backup data to another site. This was an often requested feature when disk to disk backup first started to become viable, but the way and speed at which backup data is created standard replication wouldn't work across normal WAN bandwidth. Deduplication gets around this because it only stores changed or net new data and then only that data needs to be replicated; much more WAN friendly.
These capabilities in backup alone are not enough to justify a $2 billion investment in deduplication technology. What is driving these companies to pay this type of money is what deduplication can do to the rest of the storage spectrum; primary storage and archive storage.
For example if a company armed with deduplication can implement this into primary storage in a way that causes little to no performance impact yet can increase storage efficiencies 60% to 70%, that could get interesting. Imagine if you needed 80TB's of storage but one of your vendors only needed to supply you with 40TB because they had this technology, clearly that vendor would have a significant advantage in winning your business.
Clearly this technology is not limited to Data Domain and there are a host of other vendors that can provide compression, deduplication or both at different levels of storage. The publicity generated by this bidding war obviously helps Data Domain but it also helps many of the other deduplication suppliers.
What all of this should be telling you is that deduplication is important, how it is used and how it is implemented in the various storage tiers matters and this is as good a time as any to begin to learn about and implement the technology.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

Masked bandits rob Northcote Public Golf Links in Thornbury
- From: Herald Sun
- September 09, 2012
TWO masked men carrying weapons have robbed a golf club in Melbourne's north.
Investigators have been told the bandits sneaked up from behind a staff member as he entered a building at the Northcote Public Golf Links in Thornbury just before 7am today.
The men threatened the staff member with a bar and made demands for money.
After taking cash they left through a rear door and made their way on to the grounds of the course.
The staff member was not injured during the incident.
Apart from balaclavas, the men wore dark clothing.
Investigators also believe the armed robbery may be linked to a similar incident at the golf course on Wednesday, July 4.
Two men believed to be armed with a firearm and a crow bar entered the grounds about 7am.
They confronted an employee at a rear shed of the club house and threatened him, demanding he open the shop.
When he was unable to get into the shop, they robbed the man of some money, leaving him uninjured.
The pair, aged in their 20s, were last seen walking east on Normanby Ave and were described as Caucasian in appearance with medium builds.
Anyone with information about either of these incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

George Carman QC, Britain's most celebrated barrister, revealed yesterday that his surprise decision to retire last week came after battling prostate cancer for more than three years.
Dairy link to prostate cancer
Cutting out dairy foods may protect men against prostate cancer, according to research published yesterday. Scientists found men eating a vegan diet, which excludes meat and dairy products, had reduced levels of a chemical linked to the disease. Earlier studies suggested the growth factor IGF-1, which helps regulate cell growth, might play key roles in both prostate and breast cancer. The study carried out among 696 British men found vegans had IGF-1 levels 9% lower than meat eaters and 7% lower than vegetarians. Levels of testosterone, also linked to prostate cancer, were similar for all diet groups.

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro which is running Lion (can upgrade to Mountain Lion if needed), and an LG LCD TV which is connected to and controlled via a Windows PC. At times when I'm using my Macbook in the living room it would be nice to use the TV as a wireless 2nd monitor - what is a reliable way to achieve this? (either hardware, software, or both...)
I care less about video-streaming quality - the quality and latency just needs to be acceptable for typical web browsing.
I'm aware of AirPlay via installing an AppleTV, but I'm already very satisfied with my Windows setup and have no interest in using AppleTV as my main media center. Whatever the solution is, the TV display connection needs to be easily swapped between my Macbook and the connected PC.

(D.I.C.E.) Diversity, Intercultural and Community Engagement
The Diversity, Intercultural, and Community Engagement Certificate Program (DICE) is a certificate earning program hosted by the Student Life Multicultural Center (SLMCC) for all students interested in enhancing their Ohio State experience through co-curricular involvement focused on diversity, social justice, service, and leadership. Through this program, students gain valuable leadership and diversity skills to prepare them for their future. DICE provides diversity training through experiential learning and serves as a unique way of supporting student identity and interpersonal development.
There are three steps to earning your DICE certificate. This certificate will verify to employers and graduate schools that recipients are prepared to live and work in a diverse environment and are committed to improving their communities.
Students' progress for Step 1 will be tracked through a punch-card. Students will have their card punched at DICE events by a DICE representative. Once students have completed their card, they will turn this in and their name will be added to the certificate database as having completed this step. Step 2 and Step 3 will require communication with the DICE program coordinator, Stephen Deaderick (email@example.com). See below for more information.
Step 1
To complete Step 1, you must complete your DICE card by attending six programs. DICE cards can be picked up at any time from the Student Life Multicultural Center (Ohio Union Suite 1000). As you enter the office, there is a wall of business cards and in one of the slots there are DICE cards.
1. Attend 3 co-curricular Social Justice Engagement (SJE) dialogues throughout the year. These programs are part of the Alonso Family Dialogue Series (http://mcc.osu.edu/education-and-training/alonso-family-dialogue-series/). At the end of the program, you will get your DICE card punched by the event's coordinator or another designated person. The event description on the MCC's calendar will display whether or not the DICE program counts for SJE or H&A. Please note, unless the event description specifies that you need to, you do not need to RSVP for DICE events.
2. Attend 3 Heritage and/or Awareness (H&A) events offered through the Multicultural Center. We offer many programs throughout the year that are hosted by our Intercultural Specialists and other programming staff. If you check out the MCC calendar online, you will see the word "DICE" after a program title to know that it counts for your DICE card. The event description on the MCC's calendar will display whether or not the DICE program counts for SJE or H&A.
You can find out which events count for Step 1 by signing up for the SJE newletter or checking out our calendar !
Step 2
To compete Step 2, you must do ONE of the following three options. See the document attached to this page (above) for more detailed guidelines.
1. Earn a passing grade in ES HESA 2577: Crossing Identity Boundaries.
2. Complete at least 10 hours on a community service program of your choice, in consultation with the DICE program coordinator. You can do your service through Pay-it-Forward or through any community organization. You should be prepared to discuss with the DICE program coordinator how the project you choose fits within the goals of the DICE program and what you hope to gain from the experience.
3. Host a program through the MCC on a topic of your choosing, in consultation with the DICE program coordinator. You can come up with the topic and format for the program and the DICE program coordinator will help arrange a location and time for you to host it after consulting with you. The program you choose can be an extension of something you learned in another DICE program, a presentation on your research or class material, or anything else as long as it is related in someway to diversity and social justice.
Step 3
To complete Step 3, you must write a reflection paper on your experience with the DICE program. This must be completed after you complete Steps 1 and 2. For instructions on what to write in the paper, please see the document attached to this page (above).
For completing all three steps, you will be recognized and receive your DICE certificate. If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Deaderick, email@example.com.
