The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Friday it was terminating all visits to prisoners in Uzbekistan owing to the conditions imposed by the local authorities and their unconstructive attitude.
The decision, which follows a suspension of several months, comes after a visit to Tashkent this week by the ICRC's director general Yves Daccord where he met with Uzbek government officials.
"In Uzbekistan we are unable to follow our standard working procedures when we visit detainees to assess the conditions in which they are being held and the treatment they are receiving," said Daccord in a statement.
"As a result, we cannot address humanitarian issues and that renders any visits pointless," adding that such decisions were a rare occurrence and not taken lightly.
He said it was essential that visits to detainees take place in private, "without witnesses".
"Visits must have a meaningful impact on detention conditions, and dialogue with the detaining authorities must be constructive. And that's not the case in Uzbekistan," said Daccord.
The organisation said it will continue to promote international humanitarian law in the country, and to help the Red Crescent Society of Uzbekistan prepare for emergencies.
Uzbekistan has been ruled since the fall of the Soviet Union by President Islam Karimov.
The country has been repeatedly criticised over its rights record by Western activists, who accuse Tashkent of jailing anti-government opponents and using torture against some detainees.

This question already has an answer here:
- Upgrade RAM or CPU [closed] 3 answers
I have a Dell Inspiron 14r (N4110) with an Intel Core i3 and 4gb of ram. It runs very smoothly, however gaming on this laptop is very limited. This is mostly because of integrated graphics but i have seen a computer with a Core i5, and very similar specs otherwise, run games that the N4110 cannot. This other computer has integrated graphics and 6gb of ram.
I am wondering whether upgrading ram or upgrading the processor make the most difference in performance. Which setup would get better performance, an i5 with 4gb of ram or an i3 with 8 gb of ram? (Both with integrated graphics)
Also, is there a certain point at which you have too much ram for the computer to ever possibly use? For instance is there really any difference in performance between 8 gb and 16 gb of ram?

Two "Pretty Little Liars" hotties are going to get visits from their brothers this season.
First up is Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty), who causes so much trouble on his own, we don't even want to know what his older brother Eric has up his sleeve. Eric will be played by Robbie Amell, who knows a little something about brotherly love — his older brother, Stephen Amell, stars in this fall's "Arrow" on The CW.
Troian Bellisario tweeted the below pic of Brant and Robbie, teasing, "The Kahns… double the creep." According to TVLine, Robbie's episode is set to air on August 7.
Not everyone in Rosewood is evil, though. Our favorite good guy Ezra (Ian Harding) will also enjoy a family reunion when British actor Gregg Sulkin joins the show as Wesley Fitz, Ezra's little bro. "Just want to say thank you to all of the @abcfpll
fans who have welcomed me to the show and are excited to see my
character. I'll try not to let you guys down!" Gregg tweeted this week.
Sulkin is known to fans from his turns opposite Selena Gomez on "Wizards of Waverly Place" and Britt Robertson in "Avalon High."

The dominant Euro-American culture is a rape-prone culture, as defined by Sanday. Within that culture, rape is both a tool and a consequence of interlocking systems of oppression based on race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation. The impact of rape on an individual survivor can only be fully understood in the context of the survivor's own culture, religious beliefs, and experience as an immigrant or refugee. Issues of race, culture, class, and sexual orientation influence every step in the counseling of a rape survivor. Knowledge about the client's culture is essential if accurate assessment and culturally appropriate service are to be provided. Specific examples of the impact of these issues are presented. Ways in which the cultural values implicit in the crisis counseling model may conflict with the client's values and needs are examined.

Other political leaders weighed in with their views on President Faust.
"President Faust was a tremendous counselor to President Hinckley and a wonderful leader for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah. "He was a great friend to our family and millions of others. He is a person of great dimension, wide-ranging abilities, and deeply spiritual capacities. Elaine and I will deeply miss him. We pray that everyone in the Faust family will be comforted at this time with peace through their memories of this great man."
Said Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah: "President Faust was a public servant and a servant of God in the fullest sense of those terms an uncommon combination to say the least. He seemed to have a keen interest in government and current events, but more importantly he had a genuine interest in people and the welfare of the individual," Bishop continued. "He was truly a kind and caring soul, and he will be missed."
Said Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah: "President Faust was one of the most important and revered people in Utah, but he never lost the common touch. ... Jim embodied the Savior's mandate to be 'wise as serpents and harmless as doves.' He was a lawyer who disciplined himself in his profession in church service and became wise. He was unfailingly kind. I will miss him, his family will miss him, and as a people, we will greatly miss him."
Utah's lone Democratic Congressman said he was saddened to learn of Faust's death.
"I will always remember his concern for the less-fortunate and what a strong advocate he was for public service," said Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah. " He made the world a better place. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. The world and the Utah Democratic Party have lost an irreplaceable role model who taught us how to reach out to one another. As a community leader, President Faust was an inspiration for Democrats to get involved in public service. "
Wayne Holland, chair of the Utah Democratic Party, said, "His quiet and thoughtful counsel will be missed. We thank his family for sharing him with us and supporting his efforts. At this time our prayers are with them."
State legislative leaders also offered their thoughts.
Utah Senate President John Valentine, R-Orem, said he has long looked up to President Faust and identifies with him.
"Like President Faust, I'm an attorney and I'm in the (Utah) Legislature, and I'm an active member of our church, as he was," said Valentine from Boston, where he is returning from a meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"We believed in many of the same things and all of us are very saddened by his passing. A great part of our (Utah) history has moved on," said Valentine.
House Speaker Greg Curtis, R-Sandy, remembered President Faust fondly, saying: "It's been more than 10 years ago, at the dedication of the Matheson Court House, and President Faust gave a speech about how he hoped that the courthouse would be used to help the less fortunate among us, those who may not have access to the courts, but who should get redress through the law." President Faust "was not only a great example of a religious leader, but also a leader in the Legislature and in the civic community. He is a great leader and will be missed."
Leaders of Utah's legal community said they knew President Faust as a capable and caring attorney.
Former Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard C. Howe recalled being a first-year law student with President Faust.
"I met him the first day of law school," Howe said. "President Faust was an excellent lawyer. ... He had great poise and had great care and concern for his client. He wasn't just there to make money."
Current Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Christine Durham said she will remember President Faust for his work in having the LDS Church's charitable arms help fund legal aid programs for the disadvantaged.
"President Faust was a profoundly influential voice during his service to the legal profession for high standards of ethics, civility and to the rule of law. We have always appreciated the way in which he treasured his experiences as a lawyer and continued to make contributions to the improvement of the legal profession. He will be deeply missed."
Utah State Bar President V. Lowry Snow said he was deeply saddened by President Faust's passing. "President Faust was not only a great lawyer and leader of our profession, but he also actively promoted the delivery of legal services to the poor and needy of all faiths in the state."

– Venezuela Sells Billions In Gold To Repay Its Debt:
Just under a year ago in the aftermath of the "OPEC Thanksgiving Massacre" of 2014 which sent oil crashing when Saudi Arabia effectively ended the oil cartel, we predicted that Venezuela (with its CDS trading at 2300 bps back then) would become the first casualty of the "crude carnage." Since then not only has Venezuela, which relies on crude oil for 95% of its export revenue, suffered a dramatic episode of hyperinflation (which is only accelerating) coupled with total economic collapse, but its CDS has, as expected, blown out to reflect a default of probability at 96% over the next five years as shown below.
Yet while everyone promptly jumped on the "Venezuela will default bandwagon" it has so far avoided bankruptcy.
How can this country with a massive debt load and a paralyzed economy have avoided default so far? Continue reading »

well that's just, like, your opinion, man
Stephen A. Smith argues multi-platform media environment breeds mediocrity
everyone else argues Stephen A. Smith breeds mediocrity
Unverified Voracity Is Mostly Stupid
no reason at all. also not stupid.
Stupid random statistic. ESPN put together an Outside the Lines piece on whether college athletes should be paid—for some reason the appointment of Mark Emmert to the top job has spurred even more chatter on this topic than there is usually—that revolves around one stupid statistic. The NCAA says this:
That number (14) comes from the NCAA's most recent analysis of athletic department finances at member institutions, based on data supplied by schools for the 2008-09 school year. The NCAA notes that 25 schools in each of the prior two years generated more revenue than expenses, before the nation's economic recession took hold.
ESPN says this:
But the NCAA understates the amount of revenue that flows into athletic departments.
Why do they say this?
The organization arrives at its lower number of 14 schools in the black by not counting what it calls "allocated revenue," which it considers direct and indirect support provided by the university, student fees and direct government support.
Because the NCAA does not count subsidies that keep money-losing programs afloat. This is not exactly "whoops, the Pirates are wildly profitable." The Bylaw Blog's pithy summation: "ESPN shows athletic departments that are making money. NCAA shows university that are making money on athletics."
Why anyone would care about the former is unclear, but ESPN charges off with their revised number of schools breaking even once you count funding grudgingly handed over to make sure they break even. Surprise: it's fairly large.
Stupid Fab Five reacts. They are legion, from complaints that a documentary called Fab Five was almost entirely about the Fab Five to Duke players writing New York Times op-eds that haven't even been published yet [UPDATE: now published.] but seem to confirm everything that was said about them* merely by their existence. Also Whitlock wrote something that no doubt accused people of "bojangling."
There was even a stupid Fab Five pre-act by Ramzy at 11 Warriors, who went out of his way to point out they didn't actually win anything, as if that wasn't possibly the main selling point or something anyone needed to be reminded of. The most compelling part of the entire thing was watching Webber walk down the tunnel after the timeout, then explain to the brutally persistent media that losing the national championship game for a second consecutive year felt "the same… exactly the same." Braves and Birds compares them to teams like Holland's Clockwork Orange two-time-runners up, and that's right—in soccer there's a rich tradition of teams that couldn't quite grasp the brass ring but are remembered for their style, and so the Fab Five.
However, nothing tops this, possibly dating back to cuneiform:
The same folks who are clamoring for a public mea culpa from Webber are the same people who wrote racist letters, calling Webber and teammates the "N" word.
That's the News's Vincent Goodwill successful trolling his way onto the "most read" list. Congratulations, Mr. Goodwill. Unless you actually believe that, in which case I am deeply sorry someone else has to dress you every morning.
Most of the letter-writers are dead now since they were already watching Matlock 20 years ago, but you don't have to be in the KKK to think Webber's actions badly hurt the program. Exploited or not, all Webber had to do was suck it up a little while before he was insanely rich. He didn't and even super-conflicted me would like an explanation, at least, if not an apology.
*[And in any case, when Rose was discussing Grant Hill he was obviously talking about a feeling he'd had in the past. Seventeen-year-old Rose didn't think "I don't like Grant Hill because his athlete father is in his life." He thought "I hate this bitch." Rose's explanation is necessarily him figuring out why he was so pissed off at Hill.
Also, Christian Laettner was relatively sanguine about everything, so there's that.]
Stupid apology. Tressel says "I'm sorry," then starts repeating things he heard from his robot-in-a-suit:
I apologize for the fact I wasn't able to find the ones to partner with to handle our difficult and complex situation.
I agree. Ohio State should have synergized its core competencies and then attacked the Asian market. Or they could have difficultly and complexly asked the players involved if they had exchanged memorabilia for goods and services. However, this would have involved talking to them in some sort of office setting and was clearly impossible. The Asian market is where it's at.
Stupid bracket react. It never fails: whenever a major conference team is left out of the field of 60-something, people complain. This year there were actual complaints that small conference teams were somehow gaming the system. Joe Sheehan blows this up:
Maybe the biggest problem in college basketball is that teams in the mid-tier conferences can't get games against the ones in the top six, and they absolutely can't get home games. Mid-majors have been screaming at the top of their lungs for years about wanting to play up, and the better those teams have gotten, the less access to games they've been able to get. Teams in the BCS leagues refuse, out-and-out refuse to play road games at teams in the #7-#18 conferences.
In fact, the RPI gimmickry cited by Phelps and Davis is actually the purview of the power leagues, who have taken to playing road games against bottom-100 teams in an effort to gain "road win" points in the new version of the RPI. (They understand that there's a concept in play, but don't quite grok the details.) The ACC played as many road games at Elon (2) and UNC-Greensboro (4) as they did against mid-major schools in the top 200 (6), and one of the latter games was in an exempt event hosted by one. Miami played at Florida Gulf Coast. Florida State played at FIU. Wake played at UNC Wilmington. You think Conference USA is trying to game the system? Really?
I'm actually happy with the way this year's play-in games fell out: both feature a major-conference team against a mid-major. If you look at the two at-large play-ins as the committee throwing its hands up and saying "I don't know, play for it" this makes perfect sense. We don't have much information about how the good teams in small leagues compare with meh teams in big leagues so you can just have 'em settle it on the court. I'm sure that's just a coincidence but I wouldn't mind that being a yearly occurrence.
Another '95. Michigan has picked up another 2013 hockey commit. Evan Allen is also playing for Honeybaked and is their leading scorer with one point more than fellow commit Tyler Motte. There's not much out there other than a couple of Select 14/15 reports from USHR and the usual hyperventilating from sketchy pay sites, but Yost Built rounds it up all the same. Allen, like Motte and JT Compher, is competing for a spot on the NTDP right now.
Michigan now has something like five or six forwards in the 2013 class already (depending on whether Max Shuart is 2012 or 2013), all of them from the midget circuit centered around Michigan that is a heavy feeder to the NTDP and USHL, four of them Honeybaked teammates. They'll be replacing kids who are currently sophomores, of which there are six (Brown, Lynch, Treais, Sparks, Moffie and Rohrkemper). Unfortunately, one is a defenseman and two are probably not on scholarship.
They must be anticipating some of these kids ending up in major junior or having to fill holes when players leave early/don't show up at all. That's veering close to Wisconsin/SEC territory, but 1) having to take an extra year of junior is just something that happens in hockey and 2) Michigan cannot sign any of these players to LOIs they can't fulfill—remember when Brandon Burlon couldn't sign until Kevin Quick got booted?—so anyone who is discontent with that arrangement can just go elsewhere.
Chances are the winnowing will be on the players', not the program's, end.
Dense bones. Jon Horford's been conspicuously absent of late without anyone really knowing why. Injury was suspected and is the case, but this bit from Rothstein's latest notes column makes the ears perk up:
Beilein spent 30 minutes with him Monday to help develop him further for next year. The Grand Ledge native, Beilein said, is already much stronger than when he started and is up to 242 pounds — the same weight as starting forward Jordan Morgan.
"There's not any extra fat in there," Beilein said. "Really, his body is developing."
Really? Horford weighs as much as Morgan now? This is stunning.
He's healthy, BTW, and we could see him in the tourney.
Etc.: Destroy One Shining Moment, also Jim Nantz. Lloyd Carr marginalia. Vote for the documentary to come after Willis Ward. Eight seeds… not so good for advancement purposes.
Unverified Voracity Summons Chris Hansen
So there's this.
Screening. Very cool article from Mike Rothstein on the increasing use of ball screens and pick-and-roll in college basketball going all the way back to the days when LaVall Jordan was helping run it at Butler. It comes complete with pithy epigram:
The ball screen forces defenses to choose where they want to recover.
John Beilein has started using it frequently, getting Jordan Morgan a wide array of dunks and others various open shots—I wonder if that's Jordan's influence? Here is where we compare and contrast Beilein's program reboot after last season with Rodriguez's defensive flailing. [comparison] [sadness/frustration] [basketball team swept state] [woo]
Literally less than nothing. I was away when SI came out with a story about college football criminals heavy on the research and light on the context. The blogosphere duly blew it up. I'm with Braves & Birds in that I'd rather have a big media organization doing research instead of, you know, not doing it, but I'm also with Orson when he rips it. Two main takeaways:
- Journalists are terrible with numbers. It's appalling. I bet there isn't a journalism program in the country that requires a statistics course. They are the equivalent of dog groomers once you bring out a decimal point.
- Journalists will not stand for doing a lot of research and declaring "nothing to see here."
SI found nothing but still made the monkey dance:
Of those seven percent, "nearly 60 percent…were guilty or paid some penalty". If we assume "nearly 60 percent" means 57% (shockingly, the actual numbers and survey methods aren't given), then 4% of players on top 25 football teams have been actually convicted of, or plead guilty to, a crime.
The number of average college students with the same criminal record? According to this article from Corvallis, Oregon's Daily Barometer, 3.45%. That's right: Your typical college football player is one-half of one percent more likely to have a criminal conviction. To put that in perspective, a team of 85 players has half a person more convicted criminals on it than a sample of 85 students drawn randomly. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
"Nothing" is actually generous. Consider that the kids on college football teams are disproportionately male (duh), black (45% as of 2006), and poor (presumably, right?) and that male, black, and/or poor groups tend to have more criminal activity. SI really discovered that putting someone on a college football team is a good way to keep them out of trouble. Which, duh. You're giving them something to lose.
Braves & Birds criticizes a lack of "solutions" in the SI problem, but how do you solve the opposite of a problem? (Other than hire Greg Robinson.)
BONUS: Remember the Free Press going ape that Michigan didn't do a juvenile background check on Demar Dorsey? Yeah…
…when the nut graf of the piece mentions that only two out of 25 programs conduct background checks on their incoming recruits, there's two instances of serious slippage here. First, programs probably don't do them out of negligence and cost, not because they know that juvenile records searches are sketchy business at best. Second, they assume this means anything when they also write this in the middle of the piece:
Nor did SI and CBS News have access to juvenile arrest records for roughly 80 percent of the players in the study.
The issue of background checks for most recruits in most states is dead before you finish the first page of the article.
BTW, Feldman's latest features a bunch of quotes($) from coaches and administrators citing the same problems bloggers did.
The way it had to end. MSU's hockey team did get swept in Fairbanks, ending Rick Comley's career, but it wasn't easy. Both games went to overtime. On Friday Michigan State had a potential game-winner ruled out and suffered a seemingly controversial UAs game winner. This caused an epic fit of bitching on MSU player twitter feeds—Derek Grant hashtagged "awful," "embarrassing," and "disgraceful" in a single tweet—that suggested Comley had complained to his players about the call in the locker room. The disgraceful event: the MSU net lifted up momentarily but was settled on its moorings before the shot was taken.
MSU's season ended the next night with another overtime goal, and thus ends Rick Comley's career. That's karma. This is something beyond it:
Michigan State hockey head coach Rick Comley reportedly was involved in a physical confrontation Friday night in the Carlson Center with Alaska Nanooks fans Robert Downes, a Fairbanks Superior Court judge, and his daughter, attorney Amy Tallerico. …
Downes, during a telephone interview Saturday, said he talked to Comley after the game. "It was a comment on his complaining about every goal that was scored," Downes said.
The confrontation reportedly turned physical and Tallerico allegedly was struck. Speaking Saturday night, Tallerico said they exchanged shoves. Her father said she filed a complaint with the CCHA.
I'm not inclined to believe a random fan who dispenses frontier justice over Comley—never been anything but stonefaced in my experience—but for Comley to get into a confrontation with a fan in the last weekend of his career is a weird echo of the Kampfer incident that was the beginning of his end. May it haunt his dreams.
Meanwhile. Other than State getting swept it was a bad week for Michigan on the TUC cliff. OSU and NMU both lost, ending their seasons. Michigan's 5-1 record against them is now gone. Compounding matters, NMU's loss against BGSU sends the Falcons to Yost for a second-round series that can't do much to help Michigan. Sweeping gets them .001 for their RPI.
mfan_in_ohio broke down the comparisons in a diary bumped yesterday, but a brief recap:
- Michigan is still the last one-seed but lost a comparison against UNO. That will be tough to get back unless Bemidji State starts winning games.
- Denver lost over the weekend, keeping them behind M. Michigan can probably stay in front of them by doing at least as well as they do but pulling BGSU complicates things. Denver has a much better opponent this weekend and could pass Michigan in RPI if they win the WCHA.
- Any chance of stealing the BC comparison is gone after the Eagles swept UNH.
- Miami will be dangerously close to passing M if they sweep this weekend but since one or the other will have to lose it's kind of a moot point.
- Ferris is safe as a TUC.
- Lake State can become a TUC by beating ND.
In simple terms, if Michigan wins the CCHA they will very probably be the last one-seed. If they don't they'll be a two.
More dudes. A local newspaper article on 2013 commit Tyler Motte lists offer-type substances:
Motte committed recently to the University of Michigan, choosing the Wolverines over Miami (Ohio), Ferris State, Western Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State.
It's even more difficult to sort fiction from reality when it comes to college hockey offers since their recruiting cycle is so accelerated, but Miami was Motte's "second choice" so that's probably legit. They're a good team to snatch a recruit from. Knock on wood, but Motte does not sound like he'll give the OHL half a thought. Backing that up: his older brother is ticketed for Ferris.
Michigan continued its run of getting commits from kids who will hit campus after the Mayan apocalypse with 2013's Alex Talcott, a teammate of Alex Kile on Honeybaked's U18 midget major team. He had an 0-10-10 line at the recent Select 15 camp and was the seventh-best forward there according to USHR. All they said was "good hands," though. Michigan Hockey Net has a full googlestalk of Talcott waiting for you; FWIW, The Scouting News claims he's an NTDP "cinch."
This is a bit convoluted. But Simmons's latest column on the NFL is a compelling takedown of the sort of shortsighted thinking that plagues NFL owners specifically and, more generally, anyone who is obsessed with getting the highest Financial Oligarch Pacman score at the expense of the future. That people like Daniel Snyder and Dan Gilbert can own incredibly expensive sports franchises is a condemnation of the whole system. If those comic-sans-deploying, Mark-Shapiro-hiring idiots can make billions of dollars just so they can prove their ineptness in games with a score the idea this is a meritocracy is fanciful, isn't it?
Etc.: Yost introduces $38 "all you can eat" seats. Seriously. Red Berenson will be honored by the Blues today. All Big Ten teams from UMHoops; Morris second, Hardaway third, Morgan and Hardaway all-frosh. Kellen Russell wins a Big Ten championship in wrestling. Even tackles can be too tall.
Unverified Voracity Kicks Self In Face
Yes, pretty much. Not to dwell on a small monkey on a Caribbean island throwing a banana that turns into a tsunami because of chaos theory and wham(!) there's a coconut in Crisler, but people are saying that Tim Hardaway's facial expression after you know, that, was priceless and perfect and they're right:
Yes, yes, free throws, yes free throws. The most shocking stat from the game to me: Michigan rebounded 76% of Wisconsin's misses, which is actually better than their very good season average of 71% (50th nationally). It seemed like Wisconsin had one possession that lasted four minutes.
Dolla dolla bill yo. Michigan is officially one of those teams that has a head coach and then a guy making almost as much as the head coach:
Michigan, according to contract obtained today, will pay Greg Mattison $750K/year with chance to make $900K if the team wins Big Ten title
That's probably triple what any Michigan assistant has ever made and makes me wonder who Michigan could have acquired a couple years back instead of Greg Robinson. A: Damn near anyone. /kicks self in face
Compher fill-in. JT Compher is one of two recent 2013 verbals for the hockey team, but unless you're Jack Johnson it's hard to get a read on how big of a get any particular 15-year-old is. But he might be kind of a big deal if his local paper is to be believed:
"He reminds me of (Vancouver Canucks MVP candidate [ed: ??? - he's 20 points behind two teammates]) Ryan Kesler , who played in the program," said Ryan Resmierski, director of player personnel for the National Team and in charge of all the youngsters in the program.
"He's a good hockey player right now, but we think with our program in Ann Arbor, we can make him an exceptional hockey player. He has a huge upside. First of all, he's an outstanding competitor. He competes every game we've seen him."
[HT: Michigan Hockey Net.]
Compher is currently the only kid on next year's NTDP U17s, getting offered a spot four months before the annual tryout camp held in March. He held early offer-type-substances from Notre Dame, Miami, and BU; there was also some chatter about the guy getting selected in the first round of the OHL draft.
BONUS: His sister is a "talented volleyball player and dancer."
Meanwhile, Michigan's other early commit from the MWEHL, Tyler Motte, has gotten the "Seat Over There" treatment from Yost Built. Motte's averaging over a point per game for Honeybaked and Tim (Not That Tim) dug up this tantalizing quote:
"He's playing like an 18- or 19-year-old, and for a '95 to do that is pretty amazing ... If he plays with Honeybaked, they're going to have the best player in the nation."
That's just one guy's enthusiasm so we don't have quite as much to go on as we do with Compher but it sounds like both are high-end gets.
Usual caveat: even guys with Johnson's hype level come up short when we're projecting so far down the line. Both Luke Moffatt and Tristin Llewellyn were hyped as first round picks when they committed and fell well short of that. (Moffatt went in the seventh round; Llewellyn didn't get drafted at all.)
The new "hard edge". Motivational whatnot ho:
The little text below says "State of Ohio High School Coaches Clinic," if you're wondering why you've never heard that before. So we've come to this, have we? Countdown clocks and quotes on the wall for Michigan State? A team that scrapes over seven wins twice a decade? /kicks self in face*
*[Not a Hoke criticism. Hoke uber alles.]
And then he stage-dove at a Whitney Houston concert. I've met Mike Spath and he's a nice guy but what in the holy hell is this?
Three years earlier, Rich Rodriguez donned a Maize and Blue hockey jersey and took a stab at Score-O – …. The student section roared with delight. That was Rodriguez's way and that didn't make it wrong but his occupation of the spotlight did offend some folks.
Flash-forward (or rewind) to Friday night. Hoke stepped onto the ice from the north entrance wearing jeans and an untucked collared blue shirt. He looked uncomfortable as the patrons rose to their feet just as he appeared a bit out of sorts at a men's basketball game a few weeks ago. Hoke probably would have retreated quickly, disappearing out of sight, but the band broke into a rendition of The Victors and Hoke was soon pumping his fists in unison with the crowd.
That has got to be the dumbest criticism ever leveled. Braves & Birds obliterates it and the thinking behind this, convincingly pointing to the repeated uninspiring, cheap hires the filthy rich Big Ten makes as a major reason they've fallen behind in the race to not get destroyed 49-7 by Alabama:
Heaven forbid that the highest-paid employee at the University of Michigan, the man up front for the winningest program in college football history actually acknowledges that he is in the spotlight! Thank goodness that we've hired a guy who is going to do his work in front of 110,000 paying customers and millions watching on TV, but is uncomfortable with attention. This is bound to work out well!
At the same time Dave at Maize 'n' Brew pointlessly deconstructs Rodriguez's recruiting classes in an effort to… do… something. What other than piss people off is unclear.
So now we're positioning Hoke as a socially anxious Fred Flintstone and pretending that Rodriguez wasn't playing Sisyphus on the recruiting trail. I really want Michigan to win but this crap saps my enthusiasm because accompanying the wins will be yet more articles about how Brady Hoke "gets it" that claim "it" to be ineffable qualities like looking sloppy and knowing the fight song instead of having an upperclass quarterback and extant secondary. I'll deal with that should the time come.
I'm sorry if this occasions more eye-rolling from people who just want to leave Rodriguez dead and in the ground. I know I should just let it slide, but I can only take so many stupid things before I blow up. Otherwise I will die.

Coaching bits. Rocky Long is officially the new head coach at SDSU, so Michigan will need a new DC. He will bring his strength coach Aaron Wellman, so kiss Barwis goodbye. ETA before he's hired at Pitt: six seconds.
Who did what who with what and the when. I have a request in for a rundown of the Borges years at Auburn with a good friend who is the world's #1 Auburn fan, but they sort of just won a national championship so that might take a little bit. Over at Maize 'n' Brew they have a breakdown of Hoke's years at Ball State from a BSU alum. On offense they started off with a "disaster" of a pro-style offense that got the first coordinator canned, whereupon Stan Parrish was brought in:
Coach Parrish junked the previous offensive scheme almost completely. He still employed two tight ends due to Steinhaus and Darius Hill being two of the biggest weapons on the offense, but also used a lot more three and four wide out formations and the fullback ceased to exist in the offense. Ball State ran a balanced, one back attack with Joey Lynch and the Nate Davis excelling at quarterback, MiQuale Lewis at running back, and Dante Love at wide receiver/running back/quarterback.
So Hoke has some flexibility when it's clear that whatever you want to do isn't actually working, but… yeah, seems like the default impulse is to line 'em up and waggle them three times a game.
On defense, Hoke kept the same guy through his six years but "was the defacto defensive coordinator" by the end of his tenure because Smith was kind of not so good. They moved from the 4-3 under that Greg Robinson actually knows how to run to a Big Ten default 4-3:
For the first four years of Coach Hoke's tenure, Ball State ran a defense that the media mostly called a 3-4 defense, but I think would be more accurately described as a 4-3 under defense. The last two seasons, when Coach Hoke was basically running the defense, Ball State mostly used the 4-3 defense, although the 4-3 under defense was also still used.
Hoke grabbed Long at SDSU, obviously. Depending on who you talk to Long invented the 3-3-5, which is what the Aztecs ran. Flexibility there, though not a whole lot of success. Even in the epic Ball State year that got him out of the MAC, the Cardinals got bombed for 45 points in their two year-ending losses. This year's SDSU team was better on offense by every metric than defense. For a "defensive-minded" coach his success seems based on having a couple quarterbacks that were pretty good.
Fluffwar 3000. Anyone doubting the media 180 should have listened to the press conference, wherein questions were gently peeled by the assembled masses and placed in the most pleasing spot on Hoke's tongue, whereupon they dissolved in a haze of gruff footbaw talk. I think I heard someone say "he's dreamy" at one point. This will be annoying for people irritated at the way Rodriguez was treated but is an asset for the program. Everything is black or white, you see.
We should hold a competition for most Charmin-soft headline over the next six months. Candidates so far:
- "New U-M coach Brady Hoke's character impresses peers"
- "Michigan players applaud hiring of Brady Hoke"
- "Alumni rally around Hoke hire"
- "Brady Hoke earned respect and admiration from former Michigan football players"
And a candidate for most least correct:
These are all exactly what you'd expect, so there's no need to read any of them. Our brief period as a rogue program has ended, and the worst-case outcome of the next few years in the media is a bunch of clucking at fans who aren't satisfied with how much better Brady Hoke's record is than Rich Rodriguez.
Save Drew Sharp, of course. He was the lone guy to fire off a negative question amongst the general fawning, that directed at Michigan's aspiration to win conference championships instead of national ones. I wonder if he asks his wife why she didn't aspire to marry a human being instead of Marvin the Paranoid Android.
The truth. Michigan's situation is odd. They are a 7-6 team with pretty good yardage numbers that has an easier schedule next year and a boatload of returning starters, so they should be better, possibly a good bit better. But they're transitioning coaches and if Denard stays are probably going to make an awkward transition in offense exactly at the point where this year's crater of a recruiting class will start hurting them badly. So Lamarr Woodley's right:
"I mean, hopefully they'll look good next year, but it will probably take a while for them to be adjusted," he said. "I don't want to go into that Michigan State situation, where they're hiring and firing.
"We have to stick behind coach Hoke and give him time to bring in the guys he needs for his formula."
Michigan will have to be patient, because a tenure much like Charlie Weis's is a strong possibility: good results early, falloff once this class and the last one come home to roost, many grumbles about early success being vapor. Michigan will (should?) have an upperclass Devin Gardner instead of freshman Jimmah and some semblance of an offensive line, so the rough patch might not be awful. It's likely to come.
(Yes, exactly zero players said things like this for Rodriguez.)
The upside. I think this is both praise and condemnation:
Spoke to a bunch of coaches here in Dallas at AFCA who think Brady Hoke will do well at Michigan. They kept using the word "solid" a lot.
Calling a coach "solid" is like calling a girl cute. Also, this…
@mgoblog You may have gotten your Dantonio, for whatever that's worth.
…is the exact same thing. It's hard to envision Hoke not having the same sort of dismal record against the USCs of the world if he's going to rely on recruiting nowhere near as well and out-executing, as Michigan State found out the hard way against Alabama.
Meet the Drew Sharp of San Diego. Brady Hoke had been so openly coveting the Michigan job that even San Diego State's athletic director was all like "he gone," but there is a lone wacko out there willing to point and scream "Rodriguez":
Hoke never purchased a home in San Diego. He rented in La Jolla. He wasn't staying here forever, and even he no doubt is surprised by how fast this happened. He hadn't done much of anything, which he admits.
But in the end, it wasn't so much betrayal as it was deception. It's hard to say San Diego State is better off today, but if Brady Hoke couldn't be stand-up about this thing, sneaking around in college football's increasing shadows, maybe the school's better off.
A witch! Burn her!
At least there's that. The Mathlete's PAN metrics are pretty easy to understand ratings that go into more detail than wins and losses and as the coaching search progressed he threw up numbers for most of Michigan's candidates. The Hoke graphs are the single most encouraging thing I've seen about the hire, as it does show almost constant improvement across eight years. Ball State, with Hoke in blue:
San Diego State, with Hoke in maize:
Arguing about how fast the improvement happened at Ball State is secondary to the fact that it did improve consistently, though I tend to hold the post-Hoke implosion against him since I'd rather see a smoother glide path to incompetence as the program you put together gradually falls apart. That looks like "Nate Davis graduated so let's GTFO."
This goes here.
Etc.: Guy who won right to attend press conference is a Michigan engineer who wrote a script to enter him millions of times. Michigan engineers: good. Guys who program MGoBlue.com: not Michigan engineers. DocSat: "After three years of attempting to transition out of that mindset into something smaller, faster, sleeker and newer, Hoke is a sign that the Wolverines have declared defeat and decided to turn back home. That will make a lot people happy, but only if the wins eventually follow."

DVD Menus Under Control: QDVD-Author New Version 1.8.0
The DVD authoring software has been released in the new 1.8.0 version that promises to keep complex DVD menus under control.
It's been a while since Qdvdauthor forecast a new version of the DVD mastering software. Version 1.8.0 will help in creating menus for homemade DVDs. The program leans heavily on Ffmpeg, M/Player/ Mencoder and Dvdauthor.
According to QDVD developer Varol Okan's blog, the latest version also includes 25 bugfixes and a new DVDLayout tab (see graphic). This will enable a graphic display of the DVD menu structure. It shows which link leads to which subpage and if there is a way back. This could prove to be extremely helpful with complex menus.
A PrintPreview and a check box in the MovieDialog to Loop are included in the stable and more reliable software. The source code for the software is available for download here. Packages can be found here.

Inc. is a master at getting its customers to give it plenty of
revenue when it comes to operating systems. On desktops it
follows a more frequent release schedule than competitor Microsoft,
which means that even with cheaper
licenses, it still typically ends up making as much or more
money.In the mobile sphere, Apple has become one of the first
vendors to charge customers money for major updates to some of its
mobile devices. While the iPhone still enjoys free updates,
major OS updates for the iPod Touch must
be purchased via Apple's iTunes. The iPod Touch is
built on similar hardware and can browse the internet via Wi-Fi,
.Now it looks like the iPad will become Apple's latest OS
cash cow.The news that iPad users will have to purchase some
OS updates aired with the release of the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK, a
software development kit compatible with Apple's new tablet-cum-ebook
reader. The documentation file, which can be found here [IPD
file], contained this juicy tidbit:
will provide you any iPad OS software updates that it may release
from time to time, up to and including the next major iPad OS
software release following the version of iPad OS software that
originally shipped from Apple on your iPad, for free. For example, if
your iPad originally shipped with iPad 3.x software, Apple would
provide you with any iPad OS software updates it might release up to
and including the iPad 4.x software release. Such updates and
releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features
that Apple releases for newer iPad models.
other words, with the iPad, Apple is following a rather unique
approach. It will be giving users one freebie -- a single major
OS upgrade. After that users will be on their own and will be
forced to pay to upgrade the OS. Upgrades will likely be priced
similar to those on the iPod Touch, at about $10.Apple claims
that the upgrade fees are just a necessity due to accounting
difficulties with giving away free upgrades to its loyal customers.
Nonetheless, if the iPad proves a commercial success as some
are predicting, those upgrades could eventually sum to a nice
revenue stream for Apple.
quote: "iPad suppliers forecast shipments of 8 - 10 million for calendar year 2010" http://www.tuaw.com/2010/03/29/ipad-suppliers-fore...
quote: It's a huge leap forward
quote: New bug fixes justify a fee, just like with OSX.
quote: Maybe we'll be charged for firmware updates to stop our televisions crashing in the middle of programs, or for game patches that improve latency in multiplayer. Maybe Apple will just charge us for all software updates, even security fixes. quote: "we'll" be charged? Mabye you will, but I won't.

Think of hopping on the Cubs bandwagon? Everyone knows about the painful defeats in Cubs history, but these are the victories you need to know about if you don't want to be sniffed out as a phony:
Aug. 31, 1932: Cubs 10, Giants 9
Bill Veeck said it was the greatest game he ever saw. In the middle of a pennant race, the Cubs were down 5-1 but scored four in the bottom of the ninth to tie it. In typical Cubs fashion, they gave four right back to the Giants in the 10th but this was no typical day at Wrigley. The North Siders responded with five in the bottom of the inning, capped by a three-run walk-off homer by Kiki Cuyler. It was the 12th consecutive win for the eventual pennant-winning Cubs, who ultimately found themselves on the losing end of Babe Ruth's purported called shot 31 days later in the World Series.
Sept. 28, 1938: Cubs 6, Pirates 5

Not only did Gabby Hartnett hit the Homer in the Gloamin', he also signed this ball for Al Capone.
Aug. 31, 1963: Cubs 6, Colt .45s 5
In their first winning season since 1946, the Cubs gave their fans a Saturday afternoon to remember. Chicago found itself trailing Houston 5-1 in the bottom of the ninth -- the same deficit it faced 31 years earlier to the day in the aforementioned rally against the Giants. With two outs and only a man on first, an encore didn't seem likely. Pinch hitter Don Landrum kept things going with a bunt single. Andre Rodgers made it 5-2 with an RBI single, and Leo Burke walked to load the bases. Next up was switch-hitter Ellis Burton, a career .216 hitter, facing Colts left-hander Hal Woodeshick. Burton delivered a walk-off grand slam, one of his 17 career homers. Only 9,027 paid to get into Wrigley that day, but we guess at least 90,027 Chicagoans later claimed to have been there.
Here's everything you need to know about bandwagon riding:

• Uni Watch: Cubs edition
This was the peak of what had been a magical summer in Wrigleyville. Crowd favorite Ron Santo delivered a three-run homer in the first to account for all the scoring. Pitching for the first-place Cubs was 23-year-old Ken Holtzman, who didn't strike out a single batter but hurled the first of his two no-hitters for Chicago, outdueling future Hall of Famer Phil Niekro and shutting down a lineup that included Orlando Cepeda, Felipe Alou and Hank Aaron. That Braves team ended up winning the NL West. Conversely, the Cubs, who were eight games ahead of the Mets and 32 games over .500 after Holtzman's no-no, proceeded to lose seven of their next nine -- the start of a free fall that resulted in New York winning the NL East by eight games.
Sept. 2, 1972: Cubs 8, Padres 0
Even today, the name Milt Pappas seems to come up whenever a Cubs pitcher carries a no-hitter into the middle innings. Pappas went 17-7 with a 2.77 ERA for the second-place Cubs in 1972 -- the team's last winning season until 1984. With two outs in the ninth, the only thing that stood between Pappas and a perfect game was Larry Stahl, a career .232 hitter. Pappas walked him, with a young Bruce Froemming calling balls and strikes. Nevertheless, Pappas did get the next batter, Garry Jestadt, to pop out to second, ensuring that his name will live on -- at least as long as Cubs pitchers go without another no-hitter.
June 23, 1984: Cubs 12, Cardinals 11 (11)

Milt Pappas' no-hitter marked the high point of the 1970s for the Cubbies.
Sept. 24, 1984: Cubs 4, Pirates 1
In the 16 seasons from 1973 to 1988, the Cubs had one winning season -- 1984. After being acquired from Cleveland in June, Rick Sutcliffe went 16-1 with Chicago, including a gem in the team's division-clinching win at Pittsburgh. The North Siders scored a run in each of the first three innings -- more than enough with the Red Baron on the mound. With a chance to send the Cubbies to the postseason for the first time in nearly 40 years, Sutcliffe threw a two-hitter with nine strikeouts and no walks.

The future seemed to be wide open when Kerry Wood made history on May 6, 1998.
At 20 years old, Wood wasn't old enough to buy a postgame beer at Murphy's. He could, however, strike out an Astro for every year of his life. Not only did Wood tie a major league record with 20 K's, but he didn't walk a single batter. If not for a two-hopper that ate up Cubs third baseman Kevin Orie in the third -- a play that could've been ruled an error -- Wood would've had a no-hitter. As it turned out, Wood settled for a one-hit shutout, the NL single-game strikeout record and the creation of grandiose expectations by Cub Nation.
Sept. 12, 1998: Cubs 15, Brewers 12
Sept. 13, 1998: Cubs 11, Brewers 10 (10)
It isn't possible to include one game without the other. After Milwaukee won the series opener 13-11 on Friday, Sept. 11, the Cubs were tied atop the wild-card standings with the Mets, and Sammy Sosa was in the midst of a historic home run chase with Mark McGwire. On Saturday, Chicago rallied from a 12-5 deficit, starting with Sosa's 60th homer in the seventh and ending with Orlando Merced's walk-off homer in a five-run ninth -- one of 10 career at-bats for Merced as a Cub. The next day was just as dramatic. Sosa hit his 61st and 62nd homers, the latter being part of another ninth-inning Chicago rally to tie it. Then Mark Grace -- not exactly known for his power -- belted a homer with two outs in the 10th to win it. The teams combined for 72 runs in three games.
Sept. 28, 1998: Cubs 5, Giants 3
Thanks to a Rockies rally against the Giants, the Cubs were able to survive an 11-inning loss in Houston on the final day of the regular season. On the 60th anniversary of the Homer in the Gloamin', Chicago and San Francisco met on a Monday night at raucous Wrigley Field to determine the NL wild-card berth. With the game scoreless in the fifth, 40-year-old Gary Gaetti, a midseason pick-up from St. Louis, slammed a two-run shot for the Cubs. Then, pinch-hitter Matt Mieske delivered a single in the sixth, driving in two of the 12 RBIs he had in his only season in Chicago. It proved to be just enough. Despite walking six, Steve Trachsel pitched six-plus innings of one-hit, shutout ball. Then the Giants nearly came back from a 5-0 deficit in the ninth. With the tying run at the plate and Rod Beck on the mound, former World Series hero Joe Carter stepped into the batter's box with two outs. But there would be no Curse of the Billy Goat on this night, as Carter popped out in foul territory near first base.
Oct. 5, 2003: Cubs 5, Braves 1
The Cubbies failed to close out the NL Division Series at Wrigley on the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 4, so the series shifted south for a decisive Game 5 at Turner Field, which had been transformed into Wrigley South all series long thanks to thousands of Cubs fans. Chicago struck first with a Moises Alou RBI single in the first and an Alex Gonzalez solo homer in the second. Kerry Wood dominated for the second time in the series, allowing one earned run in eight innings. Joe Borowski retired the side 1-2-3 in the ninth, clinching the Cubs' only postseason series victory since 1908.
