Hopefully it can also be a resource for those exploring Stringway as an option. TW MESSAGE BOARD GUIDELINES: Please review if you are not familiar with them: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=3 ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: 1. No competitor discussion, please. 2. Keep comments positive and focused on the product. We want this forum to remain in good standing. 3. This forum is for information sharing and not to promote direct or indirect sales of Stringway products. MY EXPERIENCE I recently acquired a very nice, used Stringway ML100 with T98 fixed clamps (sold as a Laserfibre MS200tt). After nine years of stringing on an entry-level drop-weight machine, I spent the last year researching upgrade options that would allow me to offer stringing services to my local tennis community. My requirements included simplicity, reliability, predictability, consistency, portability, and continuous pull. Through information and feedback in other TW forums as well as directly from machine owners, I decided to pursue a Stringway drop-weight. A testament to the following of the Stringway products, it took a good amount of time and patience to find a used machine. After a long road trip to pick it up, I downloaded the manual and used it to completely disassemble the machine, clean it, lubricate it, overhaul the clamps, and silicone the frame. I am the third owner, but the machine is still in great shape. I have only used it a few times thus far, but am very happy with it. I quickly decided to invest in two triple and one double flying clamps, as well as the cross stringing tools and am impressed with both. I string a lot of gut, and have found the clamps and tensioner to be very gentle. If you own (or have owned) a Stringway, please feel free to join this club and share your story with these wonderful machines. Posting pics is welcome as well. Thanks in advance to each of you for your contribution. As this club develops I hope you will find this sharing of experience and information beneficial. 10SDad MEMBERS - 40 1: 10SDad 2: BlxTennis 3: scotus 4: Slitch 5: Peppershaker 6: cluckcluck 7: Pbarrow 8: onehandbh 9: _skunk_ 10: pstar 11: diredesire 12: Power Player 13: ike81 14: TennisCJC 15: Bugs 16: Joonas 17: Overheadsmash 18: JasperJ 19: marco_forehand 20: Maui19 21: Darkhors 22: TfReAk 23: Audiophile 24: 7zero 25: volusiano 26: oble 27: hyperion99 28: eagle 29: elkwood 30: Learner46 31: Rysty 32: Purist 33: beepee1972 34: Herge 35: 66darren66 36: skhoman 37: Albie 38: MathieuR 39: LMW 40: Kingair001

I?ve got a fabulous little stream in my backyard with an incredible diversity of fish species. I?ve caught suckers, chubs, bluegill and redbreast, black crappie, large- and smallmouth bass, channel catfish and bullheads, and rock bass. The stream is between 20 and 40 feet wide with a low gradient. Most of the headwaters are in farm country, with lots of cows in the water, and the water turns opaque orange after anything more than a light rain. The bottom is mostly sand and clay, but there are rocky areas, with house-sized granite boulders guarding deep pools and basketball-sized granite chunks in the riffle areas. There is also a lot of beaver activity, with many piles of sticks and twigs in and near the water. There are no aquatic weeds in the water, and only a small amount of bottom algae during parts of the year. Although this is where I fish most often, I also visit other similar streams in the area, mostly streams that flow through city parks.
The River.jpg
My fly-fishing career is only about two years old, with most of my first year learning how to cast, and most of my second out of the state on a work assignment. Arriving back home in mid-summer of this year, I expected to be catching smallmouth like a pro on my 6-weight rod, with many different presentations and techniques I have been studying and practicing. Unfortunately, my hopes did not come true, and I?ve still only caught a handful of smallmouth bass on a fly rod. To make matters worse, on days when I want to catch fish, I?ll take my spinning gear and catch 3 or 4 bass in an hour on an eighth oz. jig and grub combo. My track record for sunfish is only slightly better. The water is cooling down for the season, and that has historically meant that the fish are not available with any technique (although I do still try from time to time in the winter), so I have some time to figure things out and be ready for next year.
Here are my jumbled thoughts on what some of my problems could be. I know I don?t move around as much with my fly rod because pulling in all that line to walk through the woods to a new spot, just to pull it back off the reel again is a pain. Many of the pools are too deep to wade, so most of my fishing is from the bank. Because the water is over 4 feet deep in many places, I don?t have a good way to get my fly to the bottom. I don?t like casting large and heavy flies, even with my 6-weight; I prefer size 8 and 10 poppers, size 10 or smaller nymphs, and size 6 or smaller streamers. The larger stuff just seems like a sloppy substitute for spinning gear. Retrieving and then re-roll casting (no backcast with all the brush around) is also a pain, so I prefer to fish close by, and mostly use dead-drift or swinging retrieves. In contrast, my spinning gear is always being retrieved actively. Repeated roll casts to work line out of the rod tip can also spook many fish in the immediate area before I even make my first presentation cast. My dead-drift and swinging retrieves may actually be effective, but a lot of takes are missed and maybe not even noticed. When the water is clear, I often see fish follow, but don?t get a hookup. This may also be because my fly lures hit the fish with the hook point first, while my plastic grub feels like food in the fish?s mouth, so they hold on much longer.
I?m eager to hear any advice you have to help me increase my fly fishing catch rate.

NEW YORK (AP) — There will be two new star-crossed lovers at "Once" on Broadway — again.
A little more than a month after announcing the replacements for Tony Award-winner Steve Kazee and Tony-nominated Cristin Milioti, producers on Monday named two other actors for the roles.
Arthur Darvill and Joanna Christie, both British, will make their Broadway debuts on Tuesday as the musicals' permanent leads, taking over from Ben Hope and Laura Dreyfuss, who were understudies. The new actors were names as soon as they got visa permission to work in America.
Darvill played Rory Williams on the BBC's "Doctor Who" and has been onstage in London in "Our Boys" and "Swimming with Sharks." Christie played opposite Daniel Radcliff in "Equus."

It's unfortunate the Bulls' 2010 free-agent summit with LeBron James and their perfunctory dalliance this summer didn't land the four-time most valuable player.
Beyond the prodigious skills that would've been on display in Chicago, James and Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau would have been a match made in basketball heaven.
"We're two teams that are trying to get better and two teams that have aspirations of winning a championship," James said after the Cavaliers' Oct. 20 preseason meeting with the Bulls. "Both teams know it's a process and it's not right now that you accomplish it. But it is right now that you create the habits."
Be still Thibodeau's...

The great-niece of a First World War soldier will join dignitaries including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at a special ceremony to mark 100 years since Britain joined the conflict.
Helen Jones will be the first member of her family to visit the grave of her great-uncle Private George Bellamy as she attends a special evening ceremony at St Symphorien military cemetery near Mons, Belgium, tomorrow.
Mrs Jones and her husband will be among a guest list that includes William and Kate, as well as Prince Harry, at the cemetery.
Other services are to take place in London and Glasgow tomorrow as part of nationwide commemorations of the centenary of the start of the First World War.
The 57-year-old plans to lay some flowers on the grave of Pte Bellamy, of 2nd Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment, in a "thank you" for the sacrifice made by him, and millions of other soldiers.
Mrs Jones said the first thing she knew about her great-uncle was when her brother Paul, who had started carrying out his own research into Pte Bellamy, contacted her while she was on holiday in Thailand to say he had been invited to the ceremony but could not go, and said she should go.
The NHS administrator, from Westwoodside, north Lincolnshire, told the Press Association: "I'm all that way away in Thailand thinking, 'I don't know what it's all about'.
"I came home, shot off up to Bradford where my brother lives, where George actually came from, and found out about it."
Pte Bellamy was her own father's uncle, she said - the older brother of her grandfather.
"My dad never spoke about this, it just was never discussed at all so I had no idea", she said.
"George was 23 I think when he went to war, but he must have been a professional soldier because he went out with the British Expeditionary Force."
He died on August 26 1914 - just days into the Battle of Mons - she said.
And the family has since found out that he had a son, born in 1915, whose mother died in the same year.
"The child died when he was 19 so it's really sad," she said.
"George's father died in 1914 as well so he died, his father died, his partner died the year after and his son died 19 years after that, so it's all a bit tragic and sad."
Mrs Jones, who is taking the trip to France and Belgium with husband Mark, 58, said tomorrow was likely to be an emotional occasion.
The mother-of-three said she did not originally feel much of a link to her great-uncle, but added: "As I've looked more and more into it, and talked about it, and looked at photographs, I feel quite close now.
"I think it's going to be a real tear-jerking time because nobody in the Bellamy family, I'm sure, will have been out and seen it, because nobody knew about it.
"I really want to lay some flowers on George's grave and just say, 'You know what, thanks, because you changed the world for us'.
"'Without it it wouldn't be the same place'.
"They just gave everything.
"A whole generation almost of young men just disappeared, we just can't credit it.
"I've got three sons and I can't imagine what they must have felt like just seeing them go and never coming back."
Of tomorrow's ceremony, she said: "I feel honoured.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime that we'll just never forget.
"I don't know quite how I will feel when I actually see the grave, but in a strange way I'm looking forward to it and I really want to find out more about it if I can.
"I think it's really important that people remember, because it's a massive deal.
"It's always been a massive deal but it's faded into the background with all the wars that came after it, and people have died, and people didn't talk about people who had gone to war.
"I know my husband's father, he was in the war, they just never talked about it.
"It was like, 'It happened, we came home, we don't want to remember it'.
"But it needs to be remembered and we need to pass it on.
"The little bit of information I've got I've shared with my boys and they're really interested and I hope they will pass it on when they have families, life events just overtake it and we shouldn't forget."

Preventing Finger, Hand, and Wrist ProblemsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
The following tips may prevent finger, hand, and wrist injuries:
- Do exercises that strengthen your hand and arm muscles.
- Stop, change, or take a break from activities that cause your symptoms.
- Reduce the speed and force of repetitive movements in activities such as hammering, typing, knitting, quilting, sweeping, raking, racquet sports, or rowing.
- Change positions when holding objects, such as a book or playing cards, for any length of time.
- Use your whole hand to grasp an object. Gripping with only your thumb and index finger can stress your wrist.
- When you work with tools that vibrate, consider using special gloves that support the wrist and have vibration-absorbing padding.
- Wear protective gear, such as wrist guards, in sports activities.
- Review your work posture and body
- Organize your work so that you can change your position occasionally while maintaining a comfortable posture.
- Position your work so you do not have to turn excessively to either side.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed when your arms are hanging by your sides.
- When using a keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor or slightly lowered and keep your fingers lower than your wrists. Allow your arms and hands to move freely. Take frequent breaks to stretch your fingers, hands, wrist, shoulders, and neck. If you use a wrist pad during breaks from typing, it's best to rest your palm or the heel of your hand on the support, rather than your wrist.

Look you idiots, fruit flies are in baltic amber, dated 30 millions years old and older,
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
It's been how long now since Darwin presented his ripped off twisted version of Blyth's theory
There can be no doubt of Darwin's regard for Edward Blyth: in the first chapter of On the Origin of Species he wrote "Mr. Blyth, whose opinion, from his large and varied stores of knowledge, I should value more than that of almost any one, ..."...In this negative formulation, natural selection only preserves a constant and unchangeable type or essence of created form, by eliminating extreme variations or unfit individuals that deviate too far from this essence. The formulation goes back to the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles,...Stephen Jay Gould writes that ... natural selection was a common idea among biologists of the time, as part of the argument for created permanency of species.
Look you idiots, ...Truly stupid.... but you dummies aren't interested ...because it makes you look like the liars you are

I'm a Christian, I like to go exploring, would like to have my own farm, would like to go to Israel and plant some trees in the desert there. I'm into reading and watching shows and movies about these things: astronomy, archeology, logic, the bible, mineral hunting, farming, history, haunted houses, UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles, megaliths, pyramids, bigfoot, unexplained disappearances and cryptozoology. I know a decent amount about psychology, narcissism, psychopath, sociopathy. ...I've saved a few lives over the recent years, physically (unfortunately all the people whom I saved in person, are severely hateful, backstabbing, unthankful, mentally unstable drunks) and have lead over 100 people, mostly teens, to Christ from 1998-2004. From about 2007-2009 I also lead many people to Christ and helped many to refrain from committing suicide right away, though combined, this amount does not seem to have come close to my earlier success. I had less success during the second period because of various cyberstalkers, especially atheist ones, especially a certain four atheists. Among the non-atheists were Arminian and "saved by works" type Christians, who are prone to mental illness and still in their sins....However, the harassers I mentioned, especially the atheists and insane woman, hindrance from my parents, harassment from the police, harassment from false and fellow Christians (and abandonment by both) a hoard of bad neighbors, health problems, and many hardware and software failures, have delayed it greatly, since 2004.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
How many personality disorders can you spot?
And talk about dishonest: so you don't think that by now some evolutionist God haters like yourself, if seeing fruit flies finally evolve after what now would be much more than 600 generations, would say, "OH LOOK THE CREATIONISTS ARE WRONG DARWIN IS RIGHT SEE THEY'VE FINALLY EVOLVED!" Every second that passes with no demonstration of evolution or claim IS CURRENT INFORMATION. You saying, "Oh but an evolutionist has to do a new study in this unspecified time I won't give and then it will be okay and then I'll believe." Talk about dishonest.It's been how long now since Darwin presented his ripped off twisted version of Blyth's theory and still no evidence of evolution and you're still resisting the truth guys? You're really that full of stubborn bitterness? You're really that prideful? All you want then is endless arguments, that's your way of punishing God is to try and wear out those who speak the truth in his name. In the end, you will be forever worn out, always desiring sleep and never getting any.And wow, did you not hear about the millions of years old rocks that were used as standards for all other dating methods being admitted to be only 700,000 years old? *Shakes head*. Evil, dumb, greedy, liars. Get real jobs and stop taking grant money bribes.
What is it about evolution that makes you afraid? Why do you accept other scientific facts, but not this one?For years, people have had to move on from one outdated world view to the more current, corrected one. The planet is not flat. Thor does not make thunder. Other worlds do exist. Science is a tool for understanding the world around us. It does not care about your beliefs, nor mine. It is non-sentient, with no agenda, save to answer questions about how things work. And, one of the beauties of it is that it requires no faith to work. It works whether you believe it, or not. If you choose to dismiss all the evidence and rationale for any science, it doesn't care. It still works.Are you such a narcissist that you believe science has the hidden agenda to disprove your god? To make your god irrelevant? I tell you, it does not. And why would it? To what end?Why would science be out to disprove your god? What happens? According to you, we're in a "fallen state" anyway. Why would this make it worse? And, moreover, why would you, personally, care? Wouldn't all this have the effect of speeding toward the rapture anyway? And, isn't that a good thing for you? Thoughts?
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
Artificial insemination. Just make sure the St. Bernard is the one being impregnated, or that'll be one very unfortunate chihuahua.
Look you idiots, fruit flies are in baltic amber, dated 30 millions years old and older, and there is no apparent change. How many generations of fruit flies have passed by since 38 million years ago, yet you're whining about studies done since 1920 and onward showing no evolution? Truly stupid. "Living fossils" are always being found, but you dummies aren't interested in cataloging them all because it makes you look like the liars you are every time another is found.
... I like to go exploring, would like to have my own farm, would like to go to Israel and plant some trees in the desert there. I'm into reading and watching shows and movies about these things: astronomy, archeology, logic, the bible, mineral hunting, farming, history, haunted houses, UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles, megaliths, pyramids, bigfoot, unexplained disappearances and cryptozoology. I know a decent amount about psychology, narcissism, psychopath, sociopathy.
please explain why a Saint Bernard and a chihuahua can have puppies together.
I'm not the smartest penny in the bank or I'd be rich instead of so good looking
http://eternian.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/no-fruit-fly-evolution-after-600-generations-or-bacteria-evolution-after-40000-generations/"Evolution was not observed in fruit fly genetic manipulations in 1980, nor has it been observed in decades-long ___multigenerational__(there goes the "time" theory) studies of bacteria and fruit flies. The experiments only showed that these creatures have practical limits to the amount of genetic change they can tolerate. When those limits are breached, the creatures don't evolve—they just die."

The same is true for teaching intelligent design in school. Until it has been validated, it is only a loosely-knit theory, one that has not been studied, and is constantly challenged. Because it cannot be verified or validated, it has no place being taught in any school at this time.

Who's Got Next? More Eligibility Issues, Prospects Discuss Midnight Madness, Big Men Make Big CommitmentsPosted by Josh Paunil on October 19th, 2011
Who's Got Next? is a weekly column by Josh Paunil, the RTC recruiting guru. We encourage you to check out his website dedicated solely to college basketball recruiting, National Recruiting Spotlight, for more detailed recruiting information. Once a week he will bring you an overview of what's going on in the complex world of recruiting, from who is signing where among the seniors to who the hot prospects are at the lower levels of the sport. If you have any suggestions as to areas we're missing or different things you'd like to see, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lead Story: Trio of Class of 2011 Prospects Experiencing Eligibility Issues
Kansas Duo Out For 2011-12 Season, Louisville's Blackshear In Danger. Kansas freshmen small forward Ben McLemore and power forward Jamari Traylor were ruled ineligible by the NCAA, head coach Bill Self announced Friday. The pair of forwards were declared partial qualifiers meaning they can't take part in any team activities until the beginning of the second semester and can't participate in any games in the upcoming basketball season. This comes as a shocker since the Jayhawks' coaching staff thought the duo would indubitably qualify although this isn't the first time Kansas has had trouble with freshman qualifying. Just last month, the NCAA deemed freshman power forward Braeden Anderson a partial qualifier who can't accept a scholarship for the 2011-12 school year. Louisville freshman shooting guard Wayne Blackshear is also undergoing eligibility issues. Although Cardinal head coach Rick Pitino remains optimistic regarding Blackshear's chances of being cleared, this isn't the first time a Louisville freshman faced eligibility issues either. Last month, shooting guard Kevin Ware (yes, that Kevin Ware) was ruled ineligible for the year although he could play games in the spring semester if his SAT scores increase (which he'll be re-taking next week).
What They're Saying [About Midnight Madness]
We've had a lot of coverage here at RTC on Midnight Madness from the best events to the best dunks and the best stories via Twitter, but now we get to take a look at what the best prospects in the country had to say about the celebrations to kick off the college basketball year.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION POLICY AND PROGRAM STUDIES SERVICE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS Early Implementation of Supplemental Educational Services under the No Child Left Behind Act: Year One Report Background The No Child Left Behind Act required states and districts to begin offering supplemental educational services in the 2002-03 school year to students from low-income families attending Title I schools that had been identified for improvement for two years or more. This study examined the first year of implementation of supplemental services through case studies of nine districts in six states, each selected because the site appeared to be relatively advanced in its implementation of supplemental services in fall 2002. The report details how the states, districts, schools and providers implemented supplemental services in the 2002-03 school year, considers challenges experienced during the first year and provides some examples of promising approaches. Key Findings For educators, providers and parents, the 2002-03 school year represented a start-up year for implementing supplemental services, with both successes and shortcomings. In most of the sites visited, many of the basic elements of supplemental services were in place, though staff at these sites also anticipated continuing challenges to offering and providing supplemental services. States Overall, in the first year of implementation, state administrators in the six states studied had taken key steps to implement supplemental services. Nevertheless, the selection of service providers was slow and uneven. • • • • All case study states developed and reviewed applications for providers, approving between 13 and 174 providers by the time of the case studies. Several case study states required provider applicants to include evidence of connections between their proposed supplemental services and state standards, and most states rejected applicants that did not provide evidence of effectiveness. The range of state-approved supplemental service providers with respect to both location and service-type does not adequately match district-level needs. The case study states generally had not yet developed systems for monitoring provider performance, though a few were developing plans to do so.
Districts Districts in the study sample reported significant challenges to implementation in several areas, including informing parents of eligible children about the option for supplemental services for their children, entering into contracts with providers and budgeting for supplemental services. • • • • • • • The proportion of eligible students receiving supplemental services ranged from less than 1 percent to 42 percent in the case study districts. No district exhausted funds set aside for supplemental services, generally because few parents applied for services. Several districts expressed concern about the administrative costs associated with implementing supplemental services. Most districts sent letters to parents about the availability of supplemental services. A few very proactive districts took additional steps such as telephoning or visiting parents of eligible students. Communicating clearly with parents about supplemental services presented difficulties to districts due to factors such as language barriers, family mobility, and limitations in some parents' understanding of the services being offered. Eight of the nine districts involved schools in outreach to parents of eligible students and/or in coordinating the provision of services (e.g., having principals answer parents' questions or arranging to provide supplemental services at the school site). In spite of misgivings among some school staff, many principals and teachers expressed a willingness to help support implementation of supplemental services for their students. Several districts noted limited experience in entering into contracts with service providers, struggled to define the terms of contracts with providers and found the process to be very time-consuming.
Providers and Services Providers in the study sample focused on delivering services to students, hiring staff, and communicating with district administrators, teachers, and parents. • • • • • • Some providers offered individualized instruction, but most providers in the case study sites offered group instruction with student-to-tutor ratios ranged from 3:1 to 8:1. The median number of hours of tutoring services that districts purchased per student, among the sampled providers, was about 40 hours, with an overall range of 28 to 228 hours. Estimated district per-pupil expenditures for supplemental services averaged $865 and ranged from $370 to $1,136. Provider hourly costs ranged from $5 to $40 for one hour of tutoring services per student, with a median of $22 per hour. Providers often adapted their services to the funds available, typically by increasing the student-to-tutor ratio and decreasing the number of sessions they provide. The extent to which providers coordinated services with state or district standards during the initial year of implementation was unclear.
• • •
Among the providers in the study sample that had begun offering services, most had not fully defined procedures for monitoring and reporting on student progress. Provider communication with teachers and parents was extremely varied and typically erratic. Some providers indicated that they had little interaction with their district and that this frustrated their efforts to offer and provide supplemental services.
Parents Most parents of children eligible to receive supplemental services were pleased to have the opportunity for supplemental services; these same parents also reported satisfaction with their children's schools, all of which had been identified for improvement, and teachers. • • • Most parents in the districts in this study chose to apply for supplemental services rather than transfer their child to another school, even when districts made efforts to educate parents about the choice option and explained that transportation would be provided. Parents included in the study reported receiving varying amounts of information about the providers from which supplemental services were available to their children. For most parents, transportation was the deciding factor in choosing among providers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Four people have been charged with enslaving a mentally disabled Ohio woman and her daughter, beating the woman, denying her food, sexually assaulting her and threatening her with dogs and snakes.
The charges unveiled Tuesday also allege the four forced the woman and her child to sleep in unsafe conditions in a house, restricted access to a bathroom and forced the woman to eat dog food and crawl on the floor wearing a dog collar.
Jodie Callahan, Jessica Hunt and Dezerah Silsby were indicted on five counts including forced labor. Daniel Brown was charged in a criminal information of the sort that typically precedes a plea deal.
Callahan's mother, Becky Callahan, has said the allegations against the defendants are "all lies."

Seven Sweet Scoops: Malachi Richardson to Syracuse, Diamond Stone's High Profile Visitors, and More…Posted by Sean Moran on December 13th, 2013
Seven Sweet Scoops is a weekly column by Sean Moran, the RTC recruiting guru. Once a week he will bring you seven notes from the high-stakes world of college basketball recruiting. We also encourage you to check out his contributions at The Intentional Foul, dedicated to recruiting coverage and analysis. You can also follow Sean at his Twitter account @Seanmohoops for up-to-date news from the high school and college hoops scene. If you have any suggestions as to areas we are missing or different things you would like to see, please let us know at email@example.com.
1. Malachi Richardson Announces for Syracuse
With 97 of the top 100 prospects in the class of 2014 already committed to colleges, the majority of ongoing recruiting speculation has turned to this year's junior class. Two five-star prospects from the class of 2015 are currently committed in forwards Ben Simmons (#8 overall, LSU) and Mickey Mitchell (#16 overall, Ohio State). Today Malachi Richardson became the third five-star recruit to make his announcement as he chose to stay on the East Coast and play at Syracuse. The 6'6" Richardson is rated as the No. 17 prospect in the class of 2015 and the No. 3 small forward. He made his college selection this afternoon from Trenton Catholic (NJ) High School and chose the Orange from a list of six schools that also included Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Rutgers, and Villanova. He most recently took an unofficial visit to Syracuse and watched its victory over Indiana in the ACC/Big Ten challenge. With that commitment, Richardson joins four-star forward Tyler Lydon (#94 overall – 2015) in Jim Boeheim's 2015 recruiting class. Richardson is a lethal scorer with a sweet stroke from the outside and will cause a lot of problems in the Syracuse 2-3 zone defense with his 6'10.5" wing span.
2. Top Center in 2015 Receives Hall of Fame Visitors
Two Hall of Fame coaches made their way out to Milwaukee over the past week to check in on 6'10" Diamond Stone, the top center in the class of 2015, and the No. 2 prospect overall. Last Friday, Mike Krzyzewski and Jeff Capel started their Midwestern recruiting trip by watching Stone and his Dominican (WI) High School team defeat St. Thomas More in a game where Stone finished with 23 points. Four days later, Roy Williams and assistant coach Steve Robinson made a quick trip to Wisconsin and watched Stone's 24-point performance in a blowout win against Prairie (WI) High. Both rivals have made Stone their number one big man target in the class of 2015; however, it might be hard to get the five-star center out of his home state. Marquette's Buzz Williams and Wisconsin's 'Bo Ryan have also recruited Stone hard during his early high school tenure. Marquette sits right in his back yard and had Stone on campus for its version of Midnight Madness this fall. He was also high school teammates with freshman point guard Duane Wilson. UNC currently has Wisconsin native J.P. Tokoto in its starting lineup, but the last time both UNC and Duke went after a Wisconsin kid they both lost out to Bo Ryan in the recruitment of freshman guard Bronson Koenig. Expect Stone to receive a lot more visits from Coach K and Roy while Buzz and Bo Ryan try to keep the talented big man in Wisconsin.

The Vikings cut ties with veteran wide receiver Bernard Berrian two days after he was a surprise inactive for the second time in three weeks.
His release wasn't shocking after coach Leslie Frazier said the team planned to talk about Berrian's future. He fell far short of expectations considering he signed a six-year, $42 million contract as a free agent in 2008.
"I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of the Minnesota Vikings organization for the past three and a half years," Berrian said in a statement released by his agent. "I can't say enough about my teammates and the experience I have had here in Minnesota. I view this as an opportunity to grow as a player and to bring strengths to a new organization. I am eager to begin the next stage in my career, and excited about the opportunity to continue my journey with a new team."
Berrian was inactive against Arizona three weeks ago because he missed two team meetings. He caught five passes in the Week 6 loss in Chicago, but dropped a key pass early in the game that allowed the Bears to gain control of the game.
Berrian, as with any veteran cut after the trade deadline, is subject to waivers and could be claimed because of his production in the West Coast offense.
Berrian has been outspoken recently about his playing time, even claiming that he's "been open for the past four years" when questioned about his lack of production. On that topic, he entered a heated Twitter exchange with state representative John Kriesel, who said on KFAN radio in Minneapolis that he'd take Berrian up on his offer to show that he's been open on game film.

IT Crowd writer defends NHS
And offers Twitter advice to Gordon Brown
Graham Linehan, the wise and funny man behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, has been using Twitter to round up defenders of the NHS against ever more insane attacks from US rightwing pundits.
Using the #welovethenhs tag to identify relevant messages, Linehan is helping to correct some of the more outlandish claims coming out of Fox News and other outlets - Hearing that Stephen Hawking would be dead if he was British is still our favourite.
Linehan neatly summarises British responses to attacks on the NHS from US pundits - "It's like if you criticise your parents. You can do it - but if anyone else criticised them you'd murder them."
Linehan is also critical of Gordon Brown's use of the medium, although surely it's not as bad as his arse-winking YouTube videos? Linehan said Brown's tweeting was embarrassing because he was using the same kind of language used in TV interviews and it sounded like political babble.
He advised Brown to listen in a bit more before making statements. But Linehan reckoned Sarah Brown's messages came across as more heartfelt.
He said Twitter as a medium was only as narcissitic and superficial as the people using it: "As soon as the argument over the NHS started Twitter stepped up to the plate and became a great tool for spreading the word. And that happened in Iran too - it put a human face on the revolution in Iran."
Brown infamously said that Twitter could have stopped the Rwandan genocides.
The full nine minute interview with Channel 4 news including several other pearls is here. ®

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has confirmed that rising star Sun Zhengcai has been appointed Communist Party boss for the scandal-ridden southwestern city of Chongqing, taking the old job of disgraced Bo Xilai in the country's biggest metropolis.
As head of the sprawling Chongqing, Sun will have to deal with the legacy of Bo, the former high-flyer at the center of China's biggest political scandal in decades.
Sun's appointment was announced in a brief statement carried by the official Xinhua news agency on Tuesday. It also said that Shanghai mayor Han Zheng had been promoted to the city's party boss in a widely expected move.
Bo was fired in March following his wife's implication in the murder of a British businessman, and Chongqing had been run in the interim by Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang. Zhang was promoted last week to the party's inner core of power, the seven-man Politburo Standing Committee.
Reuters reported earlier this month that Sun, 49, a former agriculture minister and then party boss of the northeastern province of Jilin, had been tipped to get the job.
Sun is emblematic of younger officials of humbler backgrounds who stand apart from the refined, urban backgrounds of the likes of president-in-waiting Xi Jinping and other so-called "princelings" - the descendants of former senior revolutionary leaders.
Sun is an agricultural expert who once ran a fertilizer factory and spent much of his early professional life in a rural part of Beijing. He served as agriculture minister from 2006-2009 after a surprisingly rapid promotion.
That set him up to take office in Jilin, the center of China's corn belt, where he has backed increased trade and infrastructure investment in North Korea.
Sun came to the attention of Premier Wen Jiabao when he was the party secretary of the Shunyi district of Beijing, a formerly agricultural and now rapidly industrializing area that is host to the capital city's airport.
The party has accused Bo of abuse of power, corruption and hampering the murder investigation because his wife was the suspect. She has since been jailed, though formal charges have yet to be filed against Bo.
Bo's expulsion from the party drew an outcry from his leftist supporters and highlighted the deep rifts his prosecution could inflame. Bo remains popular in Chongqing for his social programmes and city improvement efforts.
Another young official, Inner Mongolia party chief Hu Chunhua, had also been seen as a potential candidate to take over in Chongqing.
But sources with ties to the leadership say Hu is now expected to be moved to the export powerhouse of Guangdong in the south, facing an economic slowdown due to the global downturn along with rising social tensions.
Hu spent two decades in restive and remote Tibet, where he came under the wing of Hu Jintao, the outgoing president. In Inner Mongolia, Hu Chunhua has overseen rapid economic growth and dealt successfully with protests last year by ethnic Mongols.
The two Hus are not related despite sharing a family name.

After requesting some information about porting applications to IPSO from Chris Arnold founder of the GNUkia project, I got this reply..
The porting was fairly easy, actually. Much of it built perfectly
modification. I built every package on a FreeBSD 2.2.6 box (since that
what IPSO 3.4.x is loosely based on) with the default
that came with the OS image. All building was done against the IPSO
libraries and linked statically. I'll be stripping and pruning the
in the future.
I'm pretty impressed about the fuss that Nokia makes around it's OS, seems like it's time to bench Nokia boxes in favour of <whatelese...>.. So, in the 'running IPSO on other hardware as Nokia' thread on the FW1-wiz list, I was right about getting everything to work as expected on IPSO, so to hell with Nokia and their IPSO..
ANyone out there using IPSO in a non-production enviroment and wanna test any sploit? just get the compiled binary of any FreeBSD sploit and run it on IPSO, It would be pretty funny to get a rootshell that easily on Nokia's 1337 OS...
Nokia : GTH!

The New Bottom Billion
New IDS research shows that the global poverty 'problem' is changing. There is a new 'bottom billion' of 960m poor people or 72 per cent of the world's poor who live not in poor countries but in middle-income countries (MICs). This is a dramatic change from just two decades ago, when 93 per cent of poor people lived in low-income countries (LICs).
This isn't just about India and China and the findings are consistent across monetary, nutritional and multi-dimensional poverty measures. Contrary to earlier estimates that a third of the poor live in fragile states, our estimate is about 23 per cent, and they are split fairly evenly between fragile LICs and fragile MICs.
These findings raise questions not only about the definitions of country categories, the future of poverty reduction in heterogeneous contexts, the role of inequality and structural societal change, and about aid and development policy. One read of the data is that poverty is increasingly turning from an international to a national distribution problem, and that governance and domestic taxation and redistribution policies become of more importance than overseas development assistance(ODA).
Project question: What does the new bottom billion mean for poverty reduction, aid and development policy?

First Normal School in NHMay 23. 2013 3:56PM
Intersection Route 153 & Hobbs Road
Effingham, NH
Marker Number: 83
Name and date established: Effingham 1972
Description: On the rise of the ground just west of here, on the second floor of the old Effingham Union Academy Building (1819), was the First Normal School in New Hampshire. It was in this Academy in 1830 that James W. Bradbury, later United States Senator from Maine, took charge of the school only on condition that it should be for the "instruction and training of teachers." The idea was his own and at that time entirely novel. The Effingham Union Academy Building is a part of the Lord's Hill District which was listed on the National Register in 1985.
Location: Located in the Lord's Hill section of Effingham, in a triangular plot at the intersection of Route 153 and Hobbs Road, which leads to the old Union Academy.

HP confesses love for Citrix with mobile thin client
'Intends' to stream the heck out of graphics
Like a good partner, HP has rolled out some thin client/virtual desktop bits and pieces this week to complement Citrix's Synergy conference taking place in Houston.
HP issued a massive press release to back up what's a relatively short set of announcements.
For one, the company is shipping a new mobile thin client device called the 2533t. This unit runs on a Via chip and, as you would expect, has no spinning disks. Instead, you can get it with up to 1GB of flash memory and 2GB of RAM.
The 2533t runs an embedded version of the Windows XP operating system and is obviously aimed at business users. HP thinks it might be a popular choice for folks in the government or health care industries who would prefer not to see their names in the papers when they've lost a laptop with lots of precious data on it. With the 2533t, most of your important data will sit on a server somewhere.
Careless spooks everywhere can rejoice.
The 2533t weighs in at three pounds and as a 12.1-inch display. So, that makes it a bit smaller and lighter than the existing 15.4-inch 6720t.
The laptop starts at $825, which seems pretty pricey for the task at hand, but there you have it.
HP has been going at this thin client thing for awhile and has a number of products, ranging from the thin client devices themselves to blade systems for running PCs in the data center. Well, HP is now saying that all of its thin clients are part of the Citrix-Ready program and are capable of running Citrix's XenDesktop software.
Citrix-Ready, you ask? That just means that the kit has been certified to run smoothly with Citrix's software.
The last part of HP's virtual desktop showing centers on the company's homegrown Remote Graphics Software (RGS). HP has provided this software for awhile in blade PC setups where it's used to stream heavy-duty graphics loads out from the data center to desktops. RGS gives a bit of extra kick to the popular remote desktop protocol (RDP).
Now, don't get too excited because there's not much actually new happening with RGS. HP, however, is "announcing an intention" to do more with RGS by allowing other software makers to work with the technology. That means that virtualization software types might one day use RGS to give their own streaming code a multimedia injection. ®

Booze? Check. A fight? Yup. Snatched wild game sausages? OK, that's just weird.
The Canadian Press reported those details and more about two Ontario men caught with the purloined sausages. Allegedly, of course, they were found cooking them whilst in blood-stained clothing after a fight following an evening of drinking at the local establishment.
Hey, in college – or so we were told – a guy could get a pizza pilfered at the lounge if he wasn't paying attention. Sausages? A street fight? That's wild, dude.
Check out this story for all the weird details.

Don't Let Bad Breath Blow Your Job Interview Away!
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert
Posted: March 10, 2010
According to studies, almost 50% of bosses said they wouldn't hire someone if the candidate had poor teeth or bad breath. Many have admitted that they turned down people because of their appearance.
High importance is placed on appearance at a job interview. It is said that if a person is too lazy to look good and take care of their hygiene, they may be lazy when it comes to doing their actual job.
Some other things that made employers uninterested in hiring someone were tattoos, facial piercings, bad skin, and even excessive sweating. Also found in the study, 15% of people seeking employment considered having cosmetic surgery to increase their chances of getting a job, and 3% have already gone through with the surgery. The most popular types of cosmetic surgery were: cosmetic dentistry, breast implants, and facelifts.
Also, according to some cosmetic surgery specialists, 1/5 workers believe that their appearance has prevented them from going further in their careers.

Hi thereThanks for the info. I have a lot of experience with panos but my point is how do you use the variofinder to compose a panoramic when you only see what a single image looks like. The mask is in the way. This in affect hinders you from properly assessing what is possible with the given lens without having to move the mask around while looking through the viewfinder. Is that easy to do if so than it should be ok.
Rotate 90%? how do you fix it to your tripot-head ? ..As at one side you have the orange ting to hold it..On the other side you have your cloud module?..Without a Hudge L bracket i don't see how i can do it ?..Swing could interest me to that's why i ask you..Also for images with different focus points, the cloud is hudgely practical, as you know what you do ..More than this, the R serie is compatibel with all the arca F or M line and so ( depending on the size of R you have-, ..Thus if you want a " complete " technical camera, you can buy a " half " F or M, and use your R as a lens plate.. I've got the sliding back too and find it extreamly use full,But what you might want to get too ( if you don't want the sliding back), is the back rotating add-ons. So you don't have to get your back of the camera to rotate it...I fell in love with the arca system, as i can have multiple different camera's, with on the end a "smaler" investment, as everything works together!..Next thing i'll buy is a F line, 6x9, and all my accesories form the R works on it. Even the lenzes, ( as arca has a R lens mount for the F line). That's what Sinar and linhof didn't have.
"Green light"?Is that from your accountant, your wife, or your trust fund?
Mr. Bank man oh Mr. Bank man ooooooh yaaaaaaaa
Yes, of course. I suspect this sort of capital expenditure in a business context is justifiable. We enthusiasts are subject to a more sobering calculation. Enjoy that new equipment. Fine tools are always a joy for the artist and craftsman.

Nancy and David Craig bought a house on Skunk Alley off Brook Forest Drive because of the fabulous view.
On Monday, their view was of flames shooting 5 to 10 feet above the trees.
The couple, who have lived in Evergreen since December, were still under an evacuation advisory on Tuesday morning because of their house's proximity to the Bluebell Fire.
They attended the news media briefing Tuesday morning in Bergen Park to learn more and to see if there was an estimate of when they could return home. There wasn't.

With almost half of state legislatures in the country likely to consider changing their laws to allow drivers to use their cell phones to show their insurance identification card in order to prove they are insured, electronic proof of coverage is one of the hottest insurance-related legislative trends for 2013, according to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI).
"States are taking another step into the Electronic Age by changing their laws to allow drivers to show their insurance ID cards on their smartphone," said Alex Hageli, PCI director, personal lines policy. "Pretty much every motorist has been there at one time or another, digging around in the glove compartment box desperately trying to find your insurance card after being pulled over by the police. No longer will motorists be ticketed and have to take time off of work to go to court for driving without insurance just because they couldn't find a current ID card in their car. This is such a common sense switch that will save everybody time and effort."
PCI anticipates over 20 states will consider electronic proof of coverage bills or regulations in 2013. The states discussing e-Card proposals include: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Wyoming's measure, SF 87 has already cleared the Wyoming State Senate.
"Electronic proof of coverage, or e-Card, is a win-win-win for consumers, insurers and state officials. Consumers are using their cell phones for more and more things. They want less paper and more online account features," said Hageli. "Like any other business, insurers want to meet their policyholders' needs and are developing apps and expanding online services to satisfy customer expectations. Without changing the law, though, insurers are still required to send paper ID cards to each customer. These proposed laws will enable insurers to adapt to changing consumer behavior. Finally, the courts win because the docket will be cleared up of individuals who had insurance but just didn't have a current ID card. "
In 2012 five states made the change to e-Card including: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana and Minnesota. Alabama approved regulations allowing electronically displayed proof of insurance at both registration and during traffic stops. Colorado already has a regulation allowing electronic proof of coverage when vehicles are registered, and will consider legislation to expand it to traffic stops this year.
PCI supports flexible proposals that are not mandatory and give both the policyholder and the insurance company a choice to offer electronic proof of coverage options.
"Every year, thousands upon thousands of tickets are issued to drivers just because they forgot to put their new ID card in their vehicle," said Hageli. "It's a big waste of everybody's time and effort, especially the courts. Now is the time to make a small change in the law so insurers and consumers can take advantage of technology and avoid those annoying fix-it tickets."
PCI is composed of more than 1,000 member companies, representing the broadest cross-section of insurers of any national trade association. PCI members write over $190 billion in annual premium, 40 percent of the nation's property casualty insurance. Member companies write 46 percent of the U.S. automobile insurance market, 32 percent of the homeowners market, 38 percent of the commercial property and liability market, and 41 percent of the private workers compensation market.

John Whitehead's New Book 'A Government of Wolves' Named Book Award Finalist• The Rutherford Institute/John Whitehead
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State (SelectBooks, 2013), constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead's chilling portrait of a nation in the final stages of transformation into a police state, complete with surveillance cameras, drug-sniffing dogs, SWAT team raids, roadside strip searches, blood draws at DUI checkpoints, mosquito drones, tasers, privatized prisons, GPS tracking devices, zero tolerance policies, overcriminalization, and free speech zones, has been named a finalist in the Foreword Book of the Year Awards. Winners of the independent publishing award will be announced later this year.
Whitehead, whose best-selling book lays bare the inner workings of an increasingly pervasive surveillance state, including the NSA's program to track the communications of all Americans and map the daily activities of all people in the United States, will be appearing at the Virginia Festival of the Book on Thursday, March 20, 2014, to speak on the themes within A Government of Wolves and how they pertain to a nation at war with itself. Whitehead's session, "Wars Within and Without Ends," will take place at 12 pm EST at the UVa Bookstore in Charlottesville, Va.
A Government of Wolves is now available for purchase online at Amazon.com and in stores. Review copies are available to members of the media upon request.
"John Whitehead is one of the most eloquent and knowledgeable defenders of liberty, and opponents of the growing American police state, writing today," stated Ron Paul, a twelve-term US congressman and former presidential candidate. "I am pleased to recommend A Government of Wolves to anyone interested in learning how modern America increasingly resembles a dystopian science fiction film instead of a Constitutional Republic."
A Government of Wolves has been hailed by those on the left and right of the political spectrum and at every point in between, for its masterful chronicling of America's shift away from the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, which historically shielded us from government abuses. Drawing on his vast knowledge of history, culture, and law, Whitehead compellingly argues that fiction has now become fact. Indeed, with sci fi movies such as Minority Report, 1984, The Matrix, They Live, and V for Vendetta pointing the way, America has become that futuristic society of celluloid fantasies in which a passive, uninformed populace gives rise to an overbearing, out-of-control government. This is the future George Orwell warned against. This is the present that Whitehead cautions could become an endless nightmare from which there is no awakening unless we act now. As American historian and nationally syndicated columnist Nat Hentoff notes in his special introduction to A Government of Wolves: "We have been through some troubling times before in our nation's history. There were the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 . . . the Red Raids in the early 1920s . . . the Japanese internment camps of World War Two . . . What we have now may be more insidious. Indeed, I believe we are in a worse state now than ever before in this country. With the surveillance state closing in on us, we are fighting to keep our country free from our own government."
John Whitehead is an attorney and author who has written, debated, and practiced widely in the area of constitutional law. A prominent leader in the national dialogue on civil liberties and human rights and a formidable champion of the Constitution, Whitehead's concern for the persecuted and oppressed led him in 1982 to establish The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the defense of civil liberties and human rights.

Dear Diary Remembers Dennis Bergkamp
Don't listen to anyone in the Netherlands who says otherwise: "Dennis Bergkamp neemt de bal aan" is Dutch for "Denard Robinson picks up a block!"
Between the WMU run and this week's bitterly unsatisfying conclusion we coined and created new uses for words like "Shoelace", and "Dilithium", and "ERMAGHERD", and "Eating" and "Robinson to Roundtree." Every sharp cut and rocket acceleration by his gangly, graceful legs created another moment pregnant with so much meaning you could utter gibberish about it in another language and the guy next to you would understand exactly what you're trying to say.
Think back on the Michigan you knew the moment before the camera first panned to 'Lace's shoes. Think how utterly un-Michigan it all looked: a Floridian freshman who couldn't throw the ball stepping into a role occupied by artillery pieces and disciplined option men since as far back as any reader of this site can remember, dropping the snap, wandering over toward the sideline, then hyperdriving through a field full of men bigger than he is. It used to be other teams' little jet mites doing that to our colossuses.* It was too astounding to be repeatable. How are we to crush souls if every few plays this sprite is jetting off to the end zone, then smiling at everybody? Doesn't he realize scoring touchdowns is just giving the other team more time of possession?
Here at the end we're all not sure what it is we just saw. The thing that turned some practice observers in 2010 into raving lunatics on these boards never stopped being a source of some sort of controversy, from spreadvocates who'd rather Borges run an offense he doesn't know than see him waste such a talent, to insufferable puritans who called him a running back.
To those last to whom circumstances and mankind's ill-planned brachial nervous system ultimately gave them their wish, I give you 100-ish yards on 23 carries, and a ho, and a hum, and a little secret…gonna have to lean closer…a bit closer…I need to whisper…DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! AAAAAAAHHHHH!
*If I'd said "it used to be other teams' Vins doing that to our army of Koloss" would anyone have gotten the reference?
CHRISTMAS IS STILL RELEVANT. Enough so at least that there remains much to be gained in mistersuits's X-mas Eve basketball roundup, which does things like compare this team to last's, and compare this team to the Fab Five, and publishes the schedule reorganized by expected KenPom difficulty, and lots of analysis and good formatting and stuff. I was out on holiday (and watching SEC football) and missed the chance to bump it—even now it's front page material by a good margin, just a little bit outdated. The diary describes an SEC-like gauntlet of Top 15-ish teams that Michigan and Indiana will both have to navigate.
FILE UNDER NO FRIKKIN WAY: TSS has found an NCAA rushing stat that Michigan leads the country in. Seriously. He calls the statistic "open field rushing yards" and it tracks how many yards you got on top of every rush of 10 positive or more yards. Indeed when Michigan managed to get the ballcarrier into the secondary this year, more often than not he'd be going full DENNIS BERGKAMP! Or losing a shoe. Minnesota was second-to-last.
Actually that stat is just a byproduct of his real effort, which removes the Bergkamping after 5 and 10 yards and gives credit for the first bits back to the O-lines. Relevant results cropped:
Note Michigan's the huge outlier in "AOFY" which is "adjusted open field yards" to the OP, yet still hanging at the bottom of the conference with "AALY" which is basically how many yards per play the offensive line might take credit for. Of course they're also hindered by RBs missing cuts or being too small to carry momentum through a linebacker. Yeoman's work here, with scatterplots and a lot more than the above. Diary of the Week(s). Read it.
[The Jump: lots more diaries, and stuff, and stuff, and by now you should realize I always leave something nice for my clickers-through.]
HANG THESE BANNERS. (At right: mobile wallpaper by jonvalk) Since it's been a 'Legendary' year for football jerseys, a couple of diarists turned to the Crisler at hand to wonder if we're thinking of raising any more numbers past those of Cassie Russell, Rudy Tomjanovich, Phil Hubbard, Glenn Rice, and Bill Buntin. Like as in serious studies of the great players of Michigan yore, their career rankings among M players across five categories, and how they line up with the greats. Guys champswest found among among the already hanging include Mike McGee, Louis Bullock if he counted, Gary Grant, LaVell Blanchard, and Jalen Rose. Manny Harris and Daniel Horton are hanging nearby.
HELLE made a list of All Americans at Michigan by their numbers, with thoughts to making the Legend jerseys completely ubiquitous. Henry Poggi could wear 58 for Rob Renes. As to the discussion of Gallon wearing #1, I'd be fine with it despite Braylon being too sore over his brother not getting an offer. We just need to get past the first one, stick Carter and Braylons' names on it, and then it can be a thing again instead of a dead thing.
INSIDE ST3's BOX SCORE. Here's what Michigan got from its senior defenders:
* Demens only had 1 tackle. Campbell had 0 (did he play?) and Floyd didn't play. That's three of our five defensive leaders contributing one tackle total.
The author also spent a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong in the Matrix to award Michigan a 1st down for 9 yards, 2 feet, and 10 inches. My thinking at the time is the refs decided to add the diameter of Brady Hoke's balls to end of the run, which is fair. Also fair: releasing the McClowney on us immediately after that.
DISTANCE IS NO OBJECT! User unWavering duplicated a lot of the work I did for that Hokepoints where I suggested what's come to be known as the Eye of Sauron division alignment, right down to the full chart of school distances. The only difference is he creates some averages of school distance within the conferences, finding the Eye is actually an improvement on the current split. But whatever—I reiterate that for someone in Maryland or New Jersey flying to corn country is hardly different than flying to Chicago, and they won't be driving. The biggest things lost are Penn State-Ohio State (which who cares if PSU will be ineligible for as long as this alignment will last anyway) and the Brown Jug (which I care!)
ETC. Coach Hoke (NTCH) has a cool chart that shows each Michigan season since Bo arrived by margin of victory; this year's nearest comparable is '96, except if Carr's second team had started the season against Florida State or something (and didn't' beat Ohio State). LSAClassof2000 is smoothing out the rough spots of eras (the RR one still sucks). He also found that rushing yards might have a cascade effect, but buried the lead in pretending like all he'd discovered was more attempts equals more yards. JeepinBen proposes limiting future uniformz to non-insane things, to which Brandon lolz.
STUFF ON THE BOARDS: Outback Bowl sucked for everyone; Misopogal asked why there isn't a Paris Bowl because she would go to that (Paris, not the bowl). ND or Bama. Borges called a non-GERG game; one day I hope we don't have to acknowledge this when it happens. Here's people over-analyzing things Derrick Green is saying when he's saying "Guys I'm going to Michigan but understand I am a red-blooded American male between 17 and 20 and people are offering me SEC visits!" Banner suggestions. The Denard memories thread again. There are… begins.

The two friends, who died when their car collided with a train Sunday night, will be honored in a memorial service at 1 p.m. Monday at Willow Oak Baptist Church in Mulberry.
MULBERRY | Eren Randall Askew enjoyed the outdoors and was a loyal family member and friend. Anthony Martin Young loved skateboarding and listening to old country records.
The two friends, who died when their car collided with a train Sunday night, will be honored in a memorial service at 1 p.m. Monday at Willow Oak Baptist Church in Mulberry.
Askew, 25, and Young, 24, were close friends for about a decade and had attended Mulberry High School together, family members said.
Askew's mother, Denise Askew-Roznowski, said her son liked to hunt and fish. He was active in football and ROTC while in high school and had worked as a diesel engine mechanic in North Carolina before returning to Mulberry recently.
Askew was close with his family and protective of his younger sister, Faythe, Askew-Roznowski said. Askew was just 5 years old, and his sis�ter was 4, when they lost their father, Randy, in a car accident.
"When (Eren) loved, he gave everything he had. He was a very caring person," Askew-Roznowski said. "He always had a smile on his face. I think there's only two pictures I took where he didn't have a smile on his face."
"(Young) and Eren were a lot alike," Askew-Roznowski said. "They were caring, sweet, make-you-laugh kind of people. They would do anything for anybody."
Askew has a son, Lucas, and a daughter, Emberlie.
Young lived at home with family in Mulberry and worked for an auto detailing company, said his mother, Connie McGhee. He was in the process of starting his own detailing business.
McGhee described her son as an avid skateboarder who also enjoyed fishing and computers. He received a record player for Christmas a few years ago and was fond of playing Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Waylon Jennings, McGhee said.
"He liked that old country music. ... We would have to tell him to turn it down," McGhee said. Young had five sisters and was McGhee's only son.
"He was a sweet boy, I tell you," she said. "Every since he was little, when he left to go somewhere, he would kiss me on the cheek and tell me he loved me."
According to police and medical reports, Young was driving a sport utility vehicle with Askew on Sunday night when they were struck by a CSX train at a Lakeland rail crossing.
The crash occurred about 11:40 p.m. Sunday at a crossing on Ewell Road immediately west of State Road 37, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said.
The approaching train sounded its horn, but the vehicle attempted to cross the railroad tracks and traveled into the train's path, according to FHP.
The lives of the two men will be celebrated in a joint memorial service 1 p.m. Monday at Willow Oak Baptist Church, 3390 Willow Oak Road. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Seigler Funeral Home in Mulberry.

Pelican recovering after flying into cruise ship
Pelican recovering after flying into cruise ship
An injured pelican that crashed into a cruise ship is recovering at a Tampa animal hospital.
According to Royal Caribbean officials, the pelican landed on deck 12 of the port-side of Jewel of the Seas on Wednesday.
The ship was returning to Tampa after a trip to Mexico. Ship staff captured the injured bird and brought it to Hillsborough County Animal Services the next day.
BluePearl Veterinary Partners are treating the bird for dehydration and a minor wing injury that will require rehabilitation.
