000 AXPZ20 KNHC 172112 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 2112 UTC Wed Jan 17 2018 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2100 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Gulf of Tehuantepec Gale Warning: Strong high pressure continues to build southward across eastern Mexico and the western Gulf of Mexico supporting a tight pressure gradient across the area. Gale force winds will continue to pulse from minimal to strong gale force, with the strongest winds expected during the late night and early morning hours. Winds are expected to gradually diminish below gale force by Friday afternoon. The resultant plume of northerly swell will continue to propagate well southward of the offshore Gulf of Tehuantepec waters, mixing with long period NW swell. Seas will be up to 14 to 19 ft during the strongest winds, gradually subsiding by the end of the week as the winds diminish. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... A surface trough axis extends from 08N77W to low pressure near 06N79W to 06N84W to 05N93W. The intertropical convergence zone axis extends from 05N93W to 07N106W to 06N115W to 09N135W, then resumes from 09N139W to 09N140W. Scattered moderate convection is within 120 nm in the SW semicircle of the low, and within 45 nm either side of the ITCZ axis between 104W and 115W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is within an area bounded by 12N140W to 16N128W to 11N115W to 04N115W to 04N126W to 08N133W to 06N140W to 12N140W. ...DISCUSSION... OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... Please see the special features section for information about the ongoing gale warning in the offshore waters of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. In the Gulf of California, light to moderate NW flow is forecast across across the entire gulf waters through Friday afternoon. Winds will become southerly Friday evening ahead of a cold front, increasing to fresh to strong in the northern gulf Friday night, then shifting to NW to N behind the front. The front will dissipate while it moves southward across the gulf during the day Saturday with mainly moderate to fresh northerly flow in its wake for the end of the weekend, except increasing to fresh to strong in the central and southern Gulf Sunday afternoon and night as the pressure gradient tightens across that area. Elsewhere across the offshore waters of Mexico, large NW swell continues to propagate SE across the waters, with seas of 8-12 ft prevailing, except 5-8 ft between 98W and 105W. The large swell is generating high and powerful surf along the coasts and outer reefs of the Baja California peninsula and mainland Mexico which will continue this evening, with coastal flooding also possible. Another pulse of NW swell will reach the offshore waters off Baja California Norte Thursday night. Seas will peak near 13-15 ft by Friday, while seas of 12 ft or greater will spread across the offshore waters off the entire length of the Baja Peninsula through the upcoming weekend. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Fresh NE gap winds winds will pulse to strong each night and early morning across the Gulf of Papagayo through Saturday morning, diminishing thereafter. Winds will also pulse to fresh to strong offshore of other Central America gulfs and gap wind areas tonight into early Thursday. Elsewhere, mainly light to gentle offshore winds will prevail N of 09N, with light to gentle southerly flow S of 09N. NW swell originating from a gale force wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec along with longer period NW swell will arrive across the area waters Thursday and Friday, building seas offshore to 5-7 ft. REMAINDER OF THE AREA... Large, long period NW swell continues to propagate SE across the forecast waters, with seas of 8 to 14 ft across the waters W of 95W-100W. A weakening cold front currently W of the area will move SE of 30N140W by early Thursday, then will get reinforced by building high pressure Thursday evening. Winds W of the reinforced front will increase to fresh to strong Thursday evening, with fresh to strong trades gradually spreading across the waters N of 10N W of 110W during the upcoming weekend while the front also dissipates across the N central waters. $$ Lewitsky

Tacoma Attorneys Explain Survival Lawsuits in Washington
Continuing the fight for injury compensation after your loved one has passed
Once a person sustains an injury caused by another person or persons, the law recognizes that "a cause of action" has been created. That cause of action, the legal right to seek redress in a court of law, has a life of its own. In fact, it's possible for a cause of action to outlive the plaintiff and/or the defendant. If your loved one had grounds for a personal injury lawsuit and subsequently passed away — from the original injuries or from an unrelated cause — that right to sue becomes an asset of your loved one's estate. The estate representative can decide whether to proceed with a lawsuit, settle or let the claim lapse. At Rush, Hannula, Harkins & Kyler, L.L.P., we understand the difficult decisions families face in the aftermath of a loved one's death. Our client-centered practice puts you at the forefront of all decisions regarding your litigation. Since 1959, we've helped representatives of deceased plaintiffs make the appropriate decision for their families regarding survival lawsuits.
How is a survival of action different from a wrongful death lawsuit?
While wrongful death attempts to compensate family members for the loss of a loved one, a survival action is the continuation of a personal injury lawsuit that the injured party had filed prior to death. The survival action seeks compensation for noneconomic losses personal to the deceased, including:
The eligible beneficiaries are the same as those in a wrongful death claim. It is also worth noting that the injured plaintiff need not have died as a result of the injury event cited in the original lawsuit. Therefore, if a plaintiff files a personal injury lawsuit after sustaining a broken hip in a premises liability accident and later dies from an unrelated heart attack, the right to prosecute passes to the person's estate.
What is the statute of limitations for survival actions?
The estate representative must file the survival action within the statute of limitations for the deceased person's injury. For most personal injury cases, the time limit to bring a lawsuit is three years, although a court sometimes allows extensions in cases where the plaintiff did not know until later that an injury had occurred or was incapacitated and unable to file.
Contact our Tacoma wrongful death attorneys to learn about your rights
If someone's negligence claimed the life of your loved one, you may be eligible for compensation. Talk to an experienced wrongful death attorney at Rush, Hannula, Harkins & Kyler, L.L.P. To schedule a free consultation and case evaluation, call us at 253.250.4516 or contact our office online.

Based on Pseudo's comment on the Obsessive-Compulsive trait, it seems that anal retentiveness is probably closer to what people who think they have OCD really have. The term anal retentive is derived from Freudian psychoanalysis. For those who don't know what it is, anal retentive is defined as "a person who pays such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, and can be carried out to the detriment of the anal-retentive person." I am most certainly afflicted by this, but I now realize that I am likely not OCD. Most people who think they have OCD probably aren't as well, so this is for the people that realize that the OCD they thought they had isn't as extreme as OCD really is. I hope this aspect can be of some use to people who misdiagnosed themselves or predict that they were misdiagnosed by someone else. :D Here's a Wikipedia article for further research-- ∞ LINK ∞

They are cute. They are dreamy. They have tussled hair, doe eyes, and makes the heart of my daughter, as well as millions of other tween and teenage girls, go pitter patter. They are talented young men who wear today's most stylish clothes and sell CD's and iTunes downloads by the millions. Every time their songs come on the radio, girls fantasize that they are singing it just to them.
Pictures of these young men dot my daughter's walls and the door to her bedroom. She eagerly awaits for the the newest issue of J-14 and M Magazine to arrive and see whose cute smiling faces are on the latest cover. Her friends and she spend endless hours talking about them and arguing over which member of the band is cuter.
Who are these young men?
The are the latest teen idol sensation, a band called 5 Seconds of Summer.
The Nature of the Teen Idol
Every decade has it's own teen idols. In fact, they seem to have a shelf life of about two or three years before the "next big thing" comes along.
Why is this?
A teen idol's fan base is typically an older tween or a young teen. As the years pass, she grows up and wants to be a part of more "mature" things. Someone whom she thought was cute when she was a twelve year old middle schooler does not appeal to the freshman entering high school. Tweens and teens are a fickle group; what is hot today will be cold tomorrow. A smart teen idol takes advantage of his or her fame while it lasts, and then finds something else to do either in or out of the business.
For example, Donny Osmond was a huge sensation back in the 1970's. Along with performing with his brothers in their band The Osmonds, he also had a hit variety show with sister, Marie, on ABC. His popularity waned when he married and became a father.
But Donny Osmond did not disappear. He evolved into a stage actor who starred in Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, as well as many other stage productions around the world.
Other teen idols disappear or lead lives of self-destruction, like Leif Garrett.
While no one knows what the future holds for the young men of 5 Seconds of Summer, young fans cannot get enough of the band.
Who Are 5 Seconds of Summer?

Formed as a band in Australia in 2011, these almost twenty somethings (some of the guys are still 19) not only sing, they play their own instruments as well. Starring on the lead vocals is Luke Hemmings, who also plays the guitar. While Michael Clifford also lends a hand with guitar, it is Calum Hood who plays bass. Rounding out the band is Ashton Irwin on the drums.
Their humble beginnings go back to the YouTube videos of band covers that they posted. They caught of eye of Sony, and were asked to one for one of the decades most popular boy bands, One Direction. From there, the band took off and they had many number one hits in America and around the world.
In addition to their musical talents, they also write their own material. While they do look like a typical boy band, their major influences are mainly 1990's and early 2000's rock and roll. Punk music sounds can definitely be heard in their music…even if they look cute playing it!
If you have a 5 Seconds of Summer fan in your life like I do, here are a few gift ideas that will make her smile.
Here is a 5 SOS pillowcase that features all of the members of the band. Made of a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend, it will feel soft against a girl's skin while she dreams of the band. It is available on Amazon has free shipping. It will make a super stocking stuffer or gift add-on for a gift card or concert tickets.
A wall calendar serves many purposes. While it may seem old fashioned to today's tech teens who live on their phones and have all of their important information on it, a visual reminder that is not something that you hold in your hand has practical applications. Seeing what you have to do each day can help set the day on keep you on track. This 18 month square shaped 12 x 12 5 Seconds of Summer 2016 calendar has plenty of eye catching black and white photos to keep young girls happy.
This 5 SOS bracelet is made from titanium and comes in a few styles. It has a heart charm and is adjustable to fit the wrist of the girl who will be wearing it. You can find this on Amazon as well.
Give your favorite fan a 5 Seconds of Summer gift she will cherish!

Inevitable Ragecomic Panel Four
1/6/2012 – Michigan 95, Iowa 67 – 15-0, 2-0 Big Ten
the desolation of the Fran (Bryan Fuller)
Less than a minute into the second half, an Iowa post fumbled what would have been an easy dunk into the stands. The television cut to Fran McCaffery, a rising star when it comes to volcano-coach sideline outbursts. He obliged, roaring out "TWO HANDS TWO HANDS TWO HANDS" as he quiveringly pantomimed catching a basketball with, yep, two hands. Ace is GIFing this as we speak.
Exactly a minute later, Iowa closed out Nik Stauskas hard, so he drove past his defender and threw down a rim-rattling dunk like he was not, in fact, a freshman 6'6" three-point specialist. On the next possession, same thing except nastier: closeout, Stauskas drives past his man except this time he's in good position, lane-covering audacious spin move for a finger roll. Gus Johnson's voice hit a questioning falsetto pitch as he exclaimed "OH?!," because he is in our brains too.
Nik Stauskas did this, and the camera did not cut to Fran McCaffery because directors aren't that eager to put resigned shrugs on camera. What are you going to do? What can you do?
I've got this Burke guy to check, three star my ass, and he's playing with two sons of NBA players, and they're raining in threes, and that Robinson guy is dunking on anyone I send out there, and now this guy with the ears, the one shooting 55% from three and also being the dunking guy. Screw it. The guy with the ears tears it. I will save my rage for another time, when there is the vague semblance of a point. For right now I'm just going to—
—watch their freshman center block Aaron White's face.
It's okay. I didn't really like his face to begin with.
—watch their freshman center start a break with a half-court outlet pass to Burke. I can deal. That doesn't seem any fairer than finding Canadian Larry Bird but whatever.
—watch their freshman center do the same thing after dribbling three times in the open court… aaaaaaah…
They are going to lose. It is going to happen. They are seventh in Kenpom, and Kenpom's pretty good. Everyone loses, even the really good teams, and it's not like the Big Ten is an SEC-like trip through the daisies. It is brutal. Michigan has nine of their ten toughest games left to play.
|N.C. State
|#Kansas St.
|@Penn St.
|Penn St.
|Cleveland St.
|Slippery Rock
Have you seen Trevor Mbakwe? That guy. Victor Oladipo. That guy. Michigan will go on the road, and get it from the refs, and boy this conversation with myself is only indicating the deluded heights expectations are reaching.
If this team bows out in the first round to a MAC team, there will be no "good try you guys, thanks for the banner." There will be wailing, and rending of garments. Because this doesn't come along too often unless you're a Duke or North Carolina type team. Illinois had it back in 2005, and they still talk about that team in a reverenced hush despite its narrow demise in the elite eight. They had it back in 1989, and the MGoWife reports from an undergrad tenure spent in Champaign that they still aren't over losing to Michigan in the Final Four. The rest of the time they've wobbled around good, not great. Even the powers don't always have it all come together.
It has come together for Michigan, and every game starts out with the same doubt—what if they're not that good? What if this is all a mirage? What if I wake up and Nik Stauskas is in fact Gavin Groninger?
Those persist for anywhere from one to 15 minutes, whereupon the nature of this year's team causes the opponent coach to smirk wryly as his guys fall behind by lots. So far. One more whipping, and then the acid test.
From Bryan Fuller:
I know the McGary stuff happened before the Stauskas stuff. Artistic license! It's a nicer way to say "lies!"
GUS. Follow us around, Gus Johnson. You and Raftery, follow this team around, going "uh" and saying "onions" and literally just squeaking in the best way possible. National treasure, Gus Johnson is.
Gus Johnson and the fact that when I check out Big 12 conference games half the time I find they're only on ESPN3 make me almost not bitter that the BTN ended up making the Big Ten grab Rutgers and Maryland.
Big Puppy. McGary had a great game, probably his best at Michigan so far. I mentioned the block and the outlet pass hockey assist stuff above, but I think my favorite play of his was a defensive rebound he corralled in the first half where he had little shot at the ball, so he tipped the thing off the backboard to himself. That kind of thing is one of the reasons he's got the ridiculously high rebound rates he does*. He's got a huge rebound radius.
McGary took a relatively big fall from one-and-done territory to pretty good prospect territory late in the rankings cycle, and that was justified. You can see a version of McGary peeking through the lack of polish that could be the #2 high school basketball player in the country. The rebounds, of course, and then the outlet passing, ability to lead a break for a couple dribbles, what looks like a pretty smooth stroke, and just size in general. Give him a couple inches more vertical leap so he doesn't occasionally leave a dunk on the rim and blocks more shots, and… yeah.
Caris arriving. So we got 32 minutes of LeVert against Central with Hardaway out. Here's what his next two games look like squeezed into one:
30 minutes, 15 points, 1/3 twos, 4/5 threes, 1/2 fta, 3 reb, 2:1 A:TO, a steal, 5 fouls
The three point shooting distorts that a bit, but it's pretty nice to have a guy who's 8/17 so far coming off the bench, and he's got a 3:1 A:TO rate. Dumping the redshirt was the move to make. He's starting to do some of the stuff I expect Burke to do with his ability to shake people with his change of direction.
It is almost redundant to talk about Trey Burke. 19 points on ten shots, 12 assists, one TO. Just another day at the office.
He's got to be the best point guard in the country, bar none. People in the Michael Carter-Williams camp have to explain why having the #4 assist (MCW) rate versus the #11 (Burke) makes up for MCW shooting 42%/28% versus Burke's 62%/41%. There is no amount of defense that can make up for that, especially when Burke is turning the ball over at less than half the rate MCW is.
Two things leapt out about a couple of possessions in the second half after Michigan had blown the lead out big. On the first, he cleared everyone out and went at Iowa's Anthony Clemmons. Clemmons did a great job, first cutting him off and forcing Burke to pick up his dribble, then hounding him on a couple of shot fakes; Burke finally went up and under for an easy two, and the color guy was all like "I don't know what you're supposed to do about that if you're Anthony Clemmons." On the second, he loosed himself with a crossover and launched an eighteen-footer, AKA The Shot Brian Hates More Than Any Shot Ever.
On neither of these possessions did I think what was going on was a bad idea—okay maybe there was a moment in the Clemmons one—and I was not mad at either shot. Because it was just going down.
*[If-he-was-averaging-40%-of-minutes checkin: 7th nationally in defensive rebound rate, 4th in offensive.]
Remember when we were worried about Tim Hardaway Jr. sliding back to his sophomore form? A quaint concern at the moment. Hardaway's coming off 19 points on 13 shots against Iowa and 21 on eight(!) against Northwestern. Against the Hawkeyes he added five assists and five rebounds; Morgan has passed him in DREB but only barely.
Hardaway hasn't had fewer than three assists since the Bradley game, BTW.
Fouls: none. All of Michigan's starters are in the top 200 in terms of fouls committed per 40 minutes, with Stauskas's 0.9 sixth nationally. The bigs will get in trouble from time to time, especially McGary, but once Horford's back—which I imagine will be soon since he dressed yesterday—that concern is not, uh, concerning.
That's the other bedrock of Michigan's defense. They give up the second-least free throws of anyone in the country, and they go together. By not challenging a ton of shots they're in position when and if you miss.
It's also a help for the offense. To date, Michigan hasn't had a period of time where they had to sit a starter for more than a few minutes. I hope that in the event a Michigan non-post picks up a couple quick ones that Beilein will consider the situation and be a little more flexible than he usually is with these things. If it's Stauskas I'm not sure he should even change the rotation.
Philosophy. Michigan's defense isn't good, sure, but the philosophy they've taken is: let's make this a shooting contest. We won't get fouled, and you won't get fouled, and we won't let you have any second chance opportunities, and we won't turn the ball over so you can have transition buckets. Let's see who's better at HORSE. Oh it's us yay.
Monday Recruitin' Knows, Won't Tell
Today's recruiting roundup covers last weekend's All-American games, high profile names emerging (or re-emerging) as targets, and a potentially wavering 2014 commit.
Spill The Beans, Green
Five-star linebacker Reuben Foster: visit on tap?
Michigan didn't land one of their remaining high-profile targets over the weekend when FL S Leon McQuay III committed to USC. They appear poised to get better news regarding VA RB Derrick Green, however—the nation's top running back has maintained Michigan as his leader in recent weeks and told Rivals($) after the Army All-American Game, "I know where I'm going." Green plans to announce sometime this month and it's safe to expect good news barring a sudden change of heart.
While USC snagged a Michigan target, it's possible the Wolverines return the favor after CA WR Sebastian LaRue decommitted from the Trojans; the four-star told 247's Clint Brewster that he plans to talk to Coach Ferrigno about a potential visit to Ann Arbor ($). LaRue currently has a visit to Notre Dame scheduled and is also looking at Miami, Arkansas, and Texas A&M.
The Wolverines may also have suddenly found themselves in the mix for the nation's top linebacker recruit, Alabama prospect Reuben Foster, after he connected with commit Henry Poggi at the Under Armour game. Poggi reportedly alerted Foster to Michigan's potential interest and convinced him to get in touch with the coaches, and Foster looks to be following through, per Sam Webb ($):
Once Foster and Michigan begin having more conversations, the 6'1, 240 pounder says it's likely he'll get up to Ann Arbor for a visit at some point before signing day.
"I don't know but the odds are pretty darn good cause I'm cool with [Poggi's] dad that I just met this week --- very cool with him," said Foster.
With a month to go until signing day, it's very late in the game to enter into the recruitment of such a high-profile player, but the former Auburn commit seems to have genuine interest. It's early yet to harbor serious hopes of a commitment, but if a visit materializes it would obviously be fantastic news for Michigan.
A more likely candidate for one of the final few spots is CA OL Cameron Hunt, who spent time with Michigan's contingent of commitments at the UA game. Hunt will take his official to Michigan next weekend, followed by visits to Oregon and Cal, and he told Sam Webb that those three schools comprise his leading trio ($).

Hoops Opponent Watch: Double Jinxed
The Status
I'm going so far as to move Michigan above Indiana in the power rankings thanks to the relative performances of those two teams against Iowa, so Michigan stays a #1.
The only notable difference these days is that Sagarin's score-based predictors has moved Michigan up to #2, behind only Duke. Kenpom and RPI forecast have Michigan around eighth. Michigan is third in RPI itself, having fallen behind Kansas.
Projected ones: Michigan, Duke, Kansas, Louisville
The Nonconference Folk
Pitt: cumong, man
We will further compress this section into teams whose individual performance may help or hurt Michigan when seeding time comes around (ie, potential "quality wins" considered by the committee) and those who will only matter insofar as their performance pushes Michigan's RPI hither and thither.
RPI-effect-only Teams
IUPUI, EMU and Binghamton continued losing to everyone. Cleveland State is not going to be any help. They lost their first conference game against Valpo by 24 and are sliding further down the Kenpom rankings with every game. Now sitting at 242. WMU and CMI haven't played.
Bradley continued to suggest that it's decent, getting off to a 2-1 start in the league with a six-point loss to 14-1 Wichita State, the #20 team in Kenpom.
Big sorts of teams
Pitt (12-3)
@ Rutgers: L, 67-62
A five point loss to Rutgers is an alarm bell even if it was on the road. Rutgers led by 14 at the half; Pitt made a push to get within three with about ten minutes left but could not close the gap entirely.
The Panthers' issues were twofold: poor shooting and terrible defensive rebounding. Rutgers grabbed nearly half their misses, which is ominous for both Pitt and Michigan (to a lesser extent). You could excuse a loss against top-ten Cincinnati as a thing that can happen. Rutgers maybe not so much.
Kansas State (12-2)
Oklahoma State: W 73-67
On the other hand, Kansas State picked up a nice win against the Cowboys. If you haven't been paying attention, Okie State has a potential lottery pick in freshman Marcus Smart and blew out NC State early this year; they also lost to Gonzaga by a measly point.
KState beat them by doing what they do: clobbering the defensive boards and altering a lot of shots from within the arc. Rodney McGruder went off, hitting 6/10 from 2 and 5/9 from three. I was impressed with Jordan Henriquez (yes, the guy Dan Dakich called out as a human black hole when Michigan played them). While he only got 14 minutes and didn't do a whole lot that stood out on the box score, he blocked a couple of key bunnies late and altered several other shots.
North Carolina State (12-2)
@ Boston College: W 78-73.
Supbar outing against a bad BC team in which the Eagles actually led until the five-minute mark. BC is another good O/bad D outfit, so maybe that's to be expected, but it seems alarming that BC went to the line 37 times in this one. They get Duke at home this week.
MCHOBBIT UPDATE: five minutes, missed a three, got a couple rebounds.
Arkansas (9-4)
Delaware State: W 86-51.
One last rote blowout before conference play starts. Kenpom has them going 10-8 in the SEC, which is an NIT berth since they're 1-4 against major opponents so far.
West Virginia (7-6)
Oklahoma: L 67-57
Bad, ugly team now outside of Kenpom 100 and therefore not really worth tracking.
1. Michigan(14-0)
LAST WEEK Put Northwestern and Iowa in its mighty chaws and chewed. I'm moving 'em up given the relative strength of their performance against those two teams versus those of the other two prime contenders:
- Minnesota had 17 points at halftime versus Northwestern (and led by three!) before turning on the gas in the second to win by 18 at home; Michigan beat the Wildcats by 28 on the road. Northwestern did have Reggie Hearn back for the game against Minnesota.
- Indiana was in a game-long dogfight against Iowa, eventually pulling it out 69-65. The Hawkeyes hung with Michigan for 15 minutes before Burke and company blew the doors off, essentially ending the game at the first TV timeout in the second half. In this case, Michigan had the home advantage in the comparison, but that doesn't cover 4 points versus 28.
I held off as long as I could, guys. Don't blame me when they lose to Nebraska by 80.
THING Do not thwack Mitch McGary in the nose. With Jordan Morgan on the bench with two fouls, Adam Woodbury accidentally did so right before a Roy Devyn Marble four-point play. The following is an artist's impression of what happened after.
McGary blocked three shots, brought down 11 rebounds, had two assists, thundered down two dunks, screened like a mother, and had a couple of outlet pass hockey assists*.
*[obligatory Wes Unseld reference]
OTHER THING The ruthless bombing from three is not just Nik Stauskas. In addition to all of Trey Burke's other qualities, he has cracked 40% from three. Tim Hardaway is up to 40% himself after going 8/10 to start Big Ten play. Glenn Robinson III is at 38%, Caris Levert 47%, Spike Albrecht, 38%. I'm deeply surprised they're not #1 in three point shooting—they're actually ninth.
OTHER OTHER THING Michigan passed its first Big Ten DREB test with flying colors, holding Iowa to just six offensive rebounds in 37 opportunities. That's the bedrock of their relatively mediocre defense. That and not fouling, which also check.
THING THEY ARE LIKE Princess Vespa.
2. Indiana (13-1)
LAST WEEK Haven't played since the aforementioned Iowa game.
THING The first truly titanic Big Ten matchups of the season drop this weekend with Michigan going to Ohio State and Minnesota heading to Assembly Hall. For the three contenders, the plan is to win at home and anything on the road is a bonus. Since Michigan doesn't get the Gophers at home, you want Indiana to win this one.
THING THEY ARE LIKE John Candy watching Princess Vespa.
3. Minnesota (14-1)
LAST WEEK Had world's ugliest first half against Northwestern, then put up 52 in the second half to ease their way to a comfortable victory.
THING Minnesota's blazing second half obliterated any traces of the ugly first half in the box score. They hit almost 48% of their shots overall.
OTHER THING Twelve players scored for the Gophers.
THIS WEEK IN MINNESOTA INTIMIDATION FACTOR Rebounded exactly half of their (many, many, many) misses, got 85% of Northwestern's, blocked seven shots, gave up just six free-throws, had ten different players record offensive rebounds.
THING THEY ARE LIKE Jim Brown's acting career.
4. Ohio State (11-3)
LAST WEEK blew doors off Nebraska by 26. Had doors blown off @ Illinois by 19(!!!)
THING The time to be alarmed by Ohio State's offense is now. If you didn't see the game and are expecting that Illinois did what they usually do and half of their copious threes went down, nope: Illinois hit under 30% of their copious threes but ran away with it because OSU scraped out 0.74 points per possession.
OTHER THING This does not appear to be a huge trend yet but the dropoff in scoring from Deshaun Thomas to his teammates is alarming. He had 24 on 21 shots; Aaron Craft had 11 points, and Lenzelle Smith hit a couple threes. No other Buckeye had more than three points.
Add in the fact that a couple of Craft's buckets were fast break opportunities created by his steals and it's staggering how little of OSU's half-court offense came from anyone other than Thomas.
THING THEY ARE LIKE a man being dragged into his grave by four zombies, one of whom is really good at getting steals
5. Michigan State (12-3)
LAST WEEK had a bit of a hairy time with Purdue, then did to the Boilers what Minnesota did to them by running away and hiding late.
THING Hiding aided by 6/8 three-point shooting from Gary Harris. Yes. Slightly.
OTHER THING In the first two games after Brandan Kearney's departure, he was replaced by Nobody (four minutes allotted to players outside the top seven) and Alex Gauna or Russell Byrd. Since the former was the Minnesota game and the latter was the eventual Purdue blowout, the guess here is MSU rotates through seven guys only when they are in dogfights.
THIS WEEK IN STOP ASKING FOR POST TOUCHES Nix/Payne: 3/11 from the floor, 1 assist, 3 TO, albeit with eight free throws and seven makes this time around. Still, the worst ORtgs on the team against Purdue.
I for one am happy that Michigan's offense regards a post touch as heresy. The big guys still get fed, except they are efficient.
THING THEY ARE LIKE Derrick Nix after losing some weight: thinner, not appreciably better.
6. Illinois (14-2)
LAST WEEKs Lost to Purdue! Blew out Ohio State! Chaos!
THING Neither of last weeks' unpredictable events was because of the three point lottery. Illinois hit 39% in the loss and 30% in the win.
NNANNA EGWU WATCH This was all set up to be diabolical after Egwu managed three rebounds in 26 minutes versus the Boilers as Purdue severely outrebounded the Illini, but then the kid had to go and play very well against OSU. His DREB rate moves up a few tenths to 10.6, which is still second-to-last on the team.
OTHER EGWU WATCH Egwu had five blocks against Purdue and was 7/9 from two against OSU with no TOs. Credit where due; he was a big help in the OSU win.
THING THEY ARE LIKE I hear there's an opening for a Norse god of chaos
7. Iowa (11-4)
LAST WEEK Currently being digested by Michigan's mighty stomach.
THING The thing is I didn't think Iowa really played that badly, or was a bad basketball team. They came out with a nice plan to get the ball away from Trey Burke, used Aaron White to facilitate some early offense, and maintained a lead through much of the first half. They shot okay, didn't turn it over, and didn't get absolutely crushed on the boards or anything.
They just gave up 65% shooting from two and 50% from three (pre-Trillion time). It would be one thing if that was a trend, but they just held Indiana to 43/29 and are still the #33 eFG D in the land even after the Michigan bombing. I still think these guys get enough quality wins in the league to make the tourney.
OTHER THING We should keep Fran McCaffery around as long as possible. His teams play an attractive style of basketball—or at least try to—and his sideline spastic fits are bar-none the best in the conference. The fact that he looks like a bank manager adds to the hilarity a thousand-fold. NO GODDAMMIT THAT IS CONTINUALLY COMPOUNDED ALREADY THERE'S A FORMULA GET OUT OF MY BAAAAAAANK
For this reason, root for Iowa to make the tourney.
THING THEY ARE LIKE delicious corn in my belly
8. Wisconsin (11-4)
LAST WEEK Struggled to iffy wins against the worst two teams in the league, beating Penn State by 9—they led by three with three minutes left—and Nebraska by six—they trailed with six minutes left. At least they've stopped screwing with Kenpom, right?
THING NO THEY HAVE NOT. Nine point win against Penn State didn't drop them at all, and they were only five points off the Nebraska prediction since it was on the road. They've lost a spot as much to the ongoing decay of preseason prediction strength as much as anything else.
OTHER THING Ryan Evans has gone full Knoblach on free throws. He hit 73% last year on a lot of attempts. This year he's at 37%, and things just seem to be getting worse. In Big Ten play he's 3/14. He can't shoot threes and hits 45%, so of course he's putting up as many shots as Trey Burke.
THING THEY ARE LIKE Sinbad in that one movie with Phil Hartman.
9. Purdue (7-7)
LAST WEEK Beat Illinois at home, hung with MSU at Breslin for about 25 minutes. Final 15 didn't go so well.
THING Ronnie Johnson hit a three! Now at 12%.
OTHER THING Won that game against Illinois by holding them to 33% shooting from two, blocking seven shots along the way. Freshman seven-footer AJ Hammons may be rounding into form. He's got 14 blocks over the past six games and was 8/12 from the floor against MSU.
10. Northwestern (9-6)
LAST WEEK Were the CD to Michigan's microwave on "high"; got me to flip over to the second half of their game against Minnesota and go "wait… what?"
THING Reggie Hearn did play against the Gophers, putting up 11 points in 27 minutes.
OTHER THING Freshman Kale Abrahmson is on his way to being the traditional Northwestern stretch four with a broke-ass shot that goes in anyway, hitting 3/5 against Minnesota (and taking one other shot, a miss).
THING THEY ARE LIKE Breaking Bad starts when again?
11. Penn State (8-5)
LAST WEEK hung tough at Wisconsin, ended up losing by nine.
THING Penn State took one free throw in that game, and eight threes.
OTHER THING They had seven assists and 15 TOs
OTHER OTHER THING they gon' die
THING THEY ARE LIKE "You got what for our gladitorial arena? A hamster?"
12. Nebraska (9-6)
LAST WEEK clubbed at Ohio State; hung in against Wisconsin before falling late.
THING Enormous center Andre Almedia injured his ankle early in the OSU game and "could have played" against Wisconsin. Tim Miles decided against inserting him because Wisconsin center Jared Berggren can shoot. He should be ready for the Michigan game.
OTHER THING Not that it will matter. Nebraska hasn't scored more than 63 against a power conference team this year. Michigan hasn't scored fewer than 67 against anyone.
THING THEY ARE LIKE Vincent Smith one-fourth of the way through that event to the right.

For the first 13 minutes against Iowa, Michigan looked as disjointed and inconsistent on both ends of the floor as they had all season. The Hawkeyes, coming off a four-point loss to Indiana, looked poised to give another top-flight team a serious test, holding a 21-17 edge with seven minutes left in the first half.
Over the course of the next 27 minutes, the Wolverines scored 78 points.
The onslaught actually began on defense, when Mitch McGary electrified the Crisler crowd with a volleyball spike of a block against Iowa's Aaron White—a display of sheer athletic superiority. From that point, Michigan finished the first half on a 27-14 tear featuring three thunderous dunks—one each by Glenn Robinson III, Mitch McGary, and Tim Hardaway Jr., whose one-handed throwdown will assuredly crack the Sportscenter top ten.
In the waning seconds of the half, the Wolverines somehow moved the ball coast-to-coast in under four seconds, capped by a Robinson layup that sent the team running into the tunnel with an 11-point lead.
Iowa had made their upset bid. There would be no upset.
The acrobatics continued in the second half as the Wolverines pulled away; in all, Michigan totaled 11 dunks by five different players. They also connected on 10-of-22 three-pointers. Of their 36 field goals, 24 were assisted. They committed six turnovers.
Robinson, perhaps more representative than any other Wolverine of the new breed, led the charge with 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting and ten rebounds. After the game, he revealed one of his nicknames, "Light Rob," for his ability to register so-called quiet points within the framework of the offense. His points weren't so quiet today—five dunks tend to make some noise—but he once again displayed a knack for showing up in the right spot, rarely needing to do so much as dribble to put the ball in the hoop.
Trey Burke did what Trey Burke does: 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, 12 assists, a steal, and a lone turnover. Michigan's other star, Hardaway, also managed 19 points, hitting 3-of-5 threes and stuffing the stat sheet with five rebounds and five assists. Nik Stauskas, working around the margins, scored 13 and threw down a slam of his own, using his lethal three-point shot to set up the drive.
Then there was McGary, doing the grunt work in his best game as a Wolverine. He finished with five points, hitting his only two field goals of the day; more importantly, he hit the glass, bringing in 11 rebounds in just 20 minutes and keying the fast break with quick outlet passes. Continuing to show more explosiveness after starting the year rusty, McGary tallied three blocks and, yes, dunked.
Despite a margin that hung in the neighborhood of 30 points for much of the second half, Crisler didn't begin to empty until the last couple minutes, after the starters had all been (mercifully) pulled. This was a show, the divine intersection of athleticism and skill, and woe be upon the fan who didn't savor every second.
Asked to compare this team to the others he's coached, John Beilein said, "we run a little faster and jump a little higher." In a grand concession given his previous, tongue-in-cheek dodging of such questions, Beilein even went so far as to say "a few" of his past players may even admit this Michigan outfit is superior to his past squads.
Indeed, Coach. Indeed.
Preview: Iowa

|Noon Eastern, Sunday
|Michigan –13 (Kenpom)
Right: Yours for only $17.99!
After a tune-up of sorts against a shorthanded Northwestern squad, Michigan tips off conference play in earnest at home against 11-3 Iowa. With the Hawkeyes coming off a narrow four-point loss to Indiana (albeit at home), Michigan can't afford a letdown performance.
Iowa is led by 6'6" wing Roy Devyn Marble, the team's highest-usage player and a threat both inside (65% shooting at the rim, per hoop-math, with a high FT rate) and outside (36.4 3P%). It'll be interesting to see who matches up with Marble defensively for Michigan—I'd guess they go with Hardaway over Stauskas.
The matchup with point guard Mike Gesell should be a bit more lopsided, though that's not a knock on Gesell. The freshman has held his own so far this year, knocking down over 50% of his twos with a solid assist rate (24.7%), though he's turning the ball over at nearly the same clip (24.3%). He's flanked by fellow 6'1" freshman Anthony Clemens, who's made a surprising ascent into the starting lineup on the strength of a sky-high assist rate (39.8%, 16th among national qualifiers)—he's an inconsistent shooter and prone to turnovers but clearly a playmaking threat.
The most efficient Hawkeye is 6'8" power forward Aaron White, who's connecting on 61.4% of his twos and attempting a ton of free throws—drawing 6.8(!) fouls per 40 minutes. White also takes good care of the basketball, though he'd be even more efficient if he learned to stop shooting threes (5-23 this season).
Manning the middle is 7'1" freshman Adam Woodbury, a four-star recruit providing a strong interior presence—57.6 FG% with solid rebounding and block rates. Woodbury is another Hawkeye who gets to the line frequently, but unlike White and Marble he doesn't convert once he gets there (51.9 FT%).
Iowa is able to go nine deep with relative ease. You may remember forward Melsahn Basabe from his stellar freshman season two years ago—he's regressed and now mans a spot on the bench, but still has the potential to put up solid rebounding and scoring numbers. Fellow forwards Zach McCabe and Eric May both have starting experience as well, while guard Josh Oglesby is a high-volume outside shooter looking for his stroke (19-62 on threes this year, 4-9 on twos).
Iowa giving Indiana a scare may be the most impressive game on their resume; aside from a nine-point home win against #47 Iowa State, all of their wins are against teams ranked #150 or below, and seven of those are ranked #228 or worse. They've struggled away from home, losing by 12 in a neutral-site game against #20 Wichita State and by 16 at #132 Virginia Tech.
Four factors:
|Turnover %
|Off. Reb. %
|49.2 (138)
|19.5 (114)
|38.0 (35)
|45.3 (18)
|41.6 (9)
|21.3 (150)
|30.5 (113)
|26.9 (32)
The above numbers are impressive, no doubt, though they do require a caveat: Iowa currently boasts the #320 strength of schedule this year. While their defense has held up well against quality competition, the offense has regressed significantly—twice they've been held well below one point per possession against top-50 teams. Offensive rebounding in particular takes a big hit against their better opponents.
Iowa relies on getting to the rim—and the line—to create most of their offense. According to hoop-math, they shoot 71% at the rim, but just 37% on two-point jumpers and 31% from three. Their FT rate ranks 18th nationally, however, and the Hawkeyes knock down a respectable 71.5% of their attempts from the charity stripe.
Defensively, that eFG% numbers should regress to the mean—Hawkeye opponents hit just 27.9% of their threes despite getting them off at a national-average rate. They are tough inside, however, with a 13.3% block rate making opponent two-pointers difficult to come by.
Collapse inside. As said above, Iowa relies on getting to the hoop to generate their offense, either through layups or drawing fouls. The good news is that they don't have a dead-eye outside shooter to make teams pay for collapsing inside—Marble is the team's best shooter but also their best threat on the drive. Michigan is ranked #2 in the country at opponent free throw rate, so they should be able to keep Iowa from getting to the line frequently, but the lack of a true shot-blocking presence is a concern.
Hit the glass. Iowa's other main option for scoring—the putback—also plays into a Michigan strength, as the Wolverines are 7th nationally in defensive rebounding. Tough break, Iowa.
Attack Woodbury. Iowa's two-point defense has been stellar this season in large part due to the presence of Woodbury. The seven-footer hasn't cracked 20 minutes in any of their losses, however, and fouled out of the Indiana game. At this point, Michigan opponents are wise to avoid playing zone lest they face a three-point barrage. The Wolverines should be able to run plenty of pick-and-roll action, which would accomplish two things: get Woodbury away from the basket—and out of shot-blocking position—and potentially get him into foul trouble, forcing Iowa to go small.
Keep doin' what you've been doin'. I mean, yeah.
Michigan by 13

Compare and contrast Macbeth and Claudius. contrast
- print Print
- list Cite
Both Macbeth and Claudius of "Hamlet" are kings who got to be kings because they not only killed the current king, the king they killed was a relative. Macbeth kills his cousin, King Duncan. Claudius kills his brother, King Hamlet. Macbeth killed out of "vaulting ambition" as he identified it in Act 1, sc. 4. Claudius killed because he wanted the queen, Gertrude, the throne, and because of his "ambition" which he tells us as he is in the chapel in Act 3, sc. 3. Both kings are willing to commit further murders to cover their initial crimes. Macbeth has Banquo killed because Banquo suspects him (Act 3, sc. 4). Claudius tries to have Hamlet killed (Act 5, sc. 2) and doesn't do much to stop Gertrude from drinking the poisoned wine in Act 5, sc. 2. Both men love their wives, though those wives are quite different. Lady Macbeth knew her husband committed murder, even helped him and planned it. Gertrude seemingly did not know Claudius killed her first husband.
I agree with the above comments.
I think an important contrast is that Claudius murdered willingly, independently and nobody else was involved, whereas Macbeth was very unwilling to murder Duncan and was reluctantly 'following orders' from his bold wife.
Both Kings are tortured by the guilt of their murders. Both feel the weight of their 'sin' and fail to find absolution. Both are dragged deeper into crime to hide their guilt and protect their stolen crown. Both pay for their crimes with their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
Macbeth is more of a warrior, whereas Claudius is more like a politician and courtier. (There was a real King Macbeth of Scotland in about the 11th century but his story is not the same as Shakespeare's play)

Pleasanton Unified will receive $6786 per student in 2012/13
Dublin Unified will receive $6979 per student
San Ramon Valley Unified will receive $6,018 per student
That is a huge difference per student.
If Pleasanton received as much as Dublin we would have an additional $2.8M.
If San Ramon received as much as Dublin, they would have an additional $28M.
What I do not understand from the report is that Pleasanton will go from 6,786 per student now and then to 9,689 per student in 2020. That is a huge increase and don't see how there will be enough money for that, especially with the increase cost of the school pensions that has to be paid for.

Use Binary Options to Trade Volatility
There are two types of volatility, historical and implied. Historical is simply the changes of the underlying asset's price previously during a certain period. Implied volatility, then, is the market's collective expectations about the performance of the asset in the future. A prudent trader is always aware of what the historical volatility has been and what the implied volatility is predicting the moves will be, as both of these factors are key to making the right decision on a binary options contract.
The components used for an option's pricing are the same in Binary options and classic options: market conditions of the underlying asset, the strike price of the option, volatility and time to expiry. Determining the price of a binary option is indeed the consensus of the market that there will be a certain outcome at a specific time. Pricing is highly affected by these important components, but let's discuss the short-term opportunities that come with using binary options for trading volatility.
Using a flat market to your advantage with binary options
If you think that the underlying market will be still and/or will remain within a certain range, you can use binary options effectively to capitalize on your insight. The ITM ("In the Money") binaries are the binary strikes to be considered, which means your initial cost is a larger portion of the maximum $100 expiration payout. Here, you are paying for the immediate advantage; higher probability of success = higher initial cost. This strategy allows you to buy or sell the binary option contract immediately which is in the money, or to create a combo trade where both legs would be ITM. In the latter case, if the market remains flat and finishes within the two strikes you will receive a double payout, but one binary leg will always finish in the money at expiration. As your binary is already in the money, you want the option to expire as quickly as possible; actually with binaries time decay works in your favor for ITM options.
How to trade binary options in a volatile market
If you believe that the underlying market will be volatile, and are prudent when it comes to trading in regards to the expected risk, then using binary options can be a useful tool to capitalize on your perspective. You would consider the OTM ("Out of the Money") contracts, meaning that your initial cost is a much smaller portion of the maximum $100 expiration payout. As with the ITM binaries, the initial cost is related to the probability of success. This strategy allows you to either buy or sell the option immediately (directional trade) which is out of the money (OTM), or you can create a combo trade where both legs would be OTM.
There is a strategy that can be used to capitalize on this market scenario, which is buying high binary strikes and selling low strikes. Taking positions with cheap entry costs and making profits if the anticipated underlying market move is correct will come with a bigger percent payout.

These two different Major League infielders share a few things in common, on top of the fact that they have the same first name.
Orlando Hudson is the newly-signed Twin; A second baseman with a very inflated defensive reputation.
Orlando Cabrera is the 35-year-old shortstop who has also been recently signed by a new team: The Cincinnati Reds. He is also the proud owner of a top-of-the-line defensive reputation.
I'm here to break (or at least put a very large dent) in the myth that ties these two players together. These infielders are no longer quality defensive players.
Back when Hudson was playing up in Toronto in 2004 and 2005, he was a fantastic defensive player. Since those days, Hudson has lost a large amount of range while steadily and consistently becoming a sub-par defender at second base.
According to UZR (Ultimate Zone Rating), this Orlando was 3.3 runs below average in 2009; He was 5.1 runs below average in 2008 to top things off. Whether this drop-off was due to his increasing age or increasing injuries, it remains a fact that Hudson is a far-cry from his former self in the field. His reputation as a sterling defender is long overdue for a change.
Hudson is a slightly above average offensive second basemen, and this remains true, but Twin fans better not be expecting a stud in the field as well.
On to the other Orlando. This one is the former World Series champion who is joining the 6th team in his career with the Reds. Cabrera has been a consistently sub-par offensive player the past 2 seasons, posting an identical .705 OPS in 2008 and 2009. His abysmal .316 On-base percentage leaves much to be desired, but as far as shortstops go, you can accept his middling offensive game.
Up until 2009, Orlando had remained a talented defensive shortstop (albeit an inconsistent one). In 2009 however, Cabrera made a drastic switch, and became arguably the worst defender at the position in all of Major League Baseball.
"O.C." was 15.3 runs below average this past season, which is absolutely disgusting.
Red fans had better hope his massive defensive shortcomings in 2009 were an aberration instead of what the future holds. Because while Orlando Hudson brings better than average offense, Cabrera brings relatively nothing at the plate (outside of an 8-hole offensive player). If Cabrera's defense doesn't make a huge recovery in 2010, he will be massively hurting his new-found team.
Cabrera doesn't produce enough at the plate to make up for anything less than sterling defense. Thank God that Dusty Baker doesn't believe in patience or players drawing walks, because he'll now fall madly in love with this Orlando.

When I look back at my career as a writer, I consider PFC Everyman as the very start of things. I was still in college when I wrote the one-act play, inspired by my disgust at the Gulf War and the rumors of the renewed draft. Of course, the Gulf War took place in 1990-92, so you can't say that my ire was that great. In reality, the play was more inspired by my love of Warner Brothers cartoons more than anything else.
But I wrote it and submitted it to a local playwriting competition - the Pittsburgh New Works Festival, which had been around for only a couple of years prior to my submittal. PFC Everyman was just one of ten plays chosen for the festival, and would be granted a week-long performance by the theater company that chose it - in this case, Pyramid Productions. It would be directed by a man who would become my good friend and theater mentor, Ted Hoover. (Happy Cloud Pictures fans will recognize Ted as "Christopher Pope" in The Resurrection Game).
Ted and I sat down and slogged through four more drafts of this play. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate to write more than two drafts of anything, and this was a hell of a sobering experience. My ego was exploding to have my first play produced, only to have it punctured by the news that it wasn't yet good enough for the stage. Ted and I argued, and he always deferred to me, while, at the same time, managing to convince me to do what he thought would be best for the script. Ultimately, he was right, and I owe the final draft's structure entirely to him. The original draft was all over the place and had no real method to the abject madness.
So PFC Everyman had its run, the third installment of a three-play evening, three weeks into the four-week run of the festival. Under the way the New Works Festival was set up, the audience members who attended every play could vote on the best one of the festival. Those votes would be tallied up and awards were granted at a special ceremony/dinner at the end of the month.
It was the first event Amy and I attended together. We'd only been dating less than a year at this point. I was happy to see that PFC Everyman had been nominated in every category except "Outstanding Performance by a Female Lead", which was fair because we didn't have a female lead.
By the end of the evening, we had either won or placed in every single category, which included "Outstanding Performance by a Director", "A Screenwriter" and "Outstanding Production". I was all choked up when I accepted the award - a giant glass arrowhead called "The Donna", after the Festival's founder. I actually proposed to Amy for the first time during my acceptance speech (which I hadn't prepared, because I hadn't expected to win).
This launched my brief but successful career in theater. After that, I penned one more one-act (which won a national championship) and a short 10-minute play which again won a "Best of" performance.
And then I dried up completely. I never wrote another play again, because I stopped relating to the theater. My head and heart became firmly entrenched in filmmaking and I have rarely looked back, save in fondness.
Ted continues to write and direct some outstanding pieces of work (he's an outstanding piece of work himself). Most of the cast went on to do other things - for a while, Mia Price was a Radio City Rockette. One of the actors who had to bow out of the production did so for a role in the Jean-Claude Van Damme film, Sudden Death, which was shooting at the same time. I didn't blame him. I haven't heard from him again since, either.
Looking back at the play, I'm still entertained by it. A lot of the jokes are terribly forced. Some of them are ripped off from Beetle Bailey, while others are ripped off from Bugs Bunny and the Three Stooges. It's ridiculously heavy-handed in its satire and about as relevant today as it was then. Which is to say, as relevant as you want it to be.
Is it good? Probably not. Is it funny? I think it is. Is it as scathing and revealing as I thought it was when I wrote it? Not in the slightest. When I first wrote it, I thought it was just scandalous, particularly in its views of the church and homosexuality! What a pioneer I was!
I'm less liberal in my thinking now than I was then. Actually, I was less of a liberal than I was an idealist, though I was just as cynical about the military, government and religion as I am now. Nowadays, I consider myself to be an extremist in both camps - favoring capital punishment almost to the point of making mandatory; pro-choice; pro-Gay Marriage; pro-environment; anti-government; pro-Arts; anti-Hollywood...
I've included a link to the play here. You'll have to download Adobe Acrobat if you don't already have it (which is unfathomable to me as I believe that program is coming bundled with newborn babies these days). If you happen to be part of a theatrical troupe and, for some ungodly reason, you find enough merit in it to actually want to perform it, just drop me a line. The rights are available. At any rate, if you decide to check it out, let me know what you think.

AS HABITAT loss is widely acknowledged to be the key driver of the decline of koalas; a future Luke Foley Labor Government will prioritise the creation of National Parks that protect the remaining koala populations on the North Coast, says Nambucca Valley identity Susan Jenvey.
"This was core Labor policy taken to the last election. For Melinda Pavey to say the ongoing decline in the koala populations needs a 'whole-of-government-koala-strategy' is a sad indictment when you look at her government's own actions," said Ms Jenvey, a Labor councillor for Nambucca Shire and the ALP spokesperson for Oxley.
"In the vicinity of Coffs Harbour 40 per cent of the koala populations are in State Forests and clearly mapped koala habitat in these State Forests has been heavily cleared using 'single tree selection' methods and 'off limits sections'. Clearly a whole-of-Coalition-Government strategy hasn't, doesn't, isn't working".
Local MP Melinda Pavey said: "The National Park estate is under-managed for the key threatening processes of wild dogs, wildfire, scrub invasion and eucalypt decline". The Member of Oxley asked what if anything might be achieved for safeguarding the koala population by adding to the National Park estate?
But Ms Jenvey countered: "The real story is Pavey's Government has deliberately undermined the active management of the National Parks estate with their market economics approach of getting government out of the way of governing.
"What she omits to tell us is the major push by her government to undermine a strong, mobile and capable public sector has created an atmosphere of neglect. Thousands of public sector jobs have been shed and expertise lost since this government has taken office to the point where there is no link of strength between the government agencies who often have conflicting agendas across the State.
"There have been savage cuts to NPWS which has reduced the capacity and skilled expertise of NPWS to manage the estate.
"By way of example, NPWS in Kempsey has lost eight field officer positions and another three or four are listed to go under the latest efficiency dividend restructure. The depots at Kempsey and South West Rocks have been combined to make one larger depot with fewer field officers and less plant and equipment.
Ms Jenvey said Labor is developing plans for the profitable arm of the business of plantation timber in the State.
"This needs separating from the less profitable and subsidised sections of State Forests, over half of which it is not possible to log," she said.
NSW Labor plans to hold a koala summit at the end of this year bringing together all stakeholders to plan the most effective action.
"The Great National Koala Park cannot be unwrapped from an adequately funded National Parks and Wildlife Service who are the most appropriate public agency to manage native forests," Ms Jenvey said.

I applied online. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (Universal City, CA).
I met with an HR representative at a Coffee Bean on the lot. They asked me general questions about my past work experience and salary expectations. Then I met with the department VP and EVP. After a full week I got a call saying they wanted me and we negotiated salary.

I applied online. I interviewed at NBCUniversal in June 2017.
My interview was a 3-part process that consisted of a Skype interview and two face-to-face interviews. The Skype interview was with an HR person and it lasted 30 minutes. I was asked specific questions about my resume and experience. It appears that if you move onto the next round you meet management more specific to the department you are interviewing for. I applied on June 9 and was contacted a 3 days later for Skype. Overall, the process took me a little over 3 weeks to get through each round. Most of the questions centered around my experience on my resume and there weren't any stumpers.

Had 3 phone interviews prior to onsite interview but overall a smooth and thorough process with not-too-delayed feedback. NBC is pretty big so be sure to know about the specific department you applied for. HR was pretty transparent with their salary expectations. I wish they were able to explain the role a little bit more in detail.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (Los Angeles, CA) in July 2016.
There isn't much of an interview process when you start off as an intern. In my experience, if you're already interning in a department that has a need for extra workers (which isn't usually the case) you're practically handed the job.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in February 2016.
I applied online with an employee referral, a few weeks later I was invited to do a video interview. I was prompted with a question and then recorded my answer. I had 30 seconds to prep for each question and then a minute or less to answer. There were nine questions in total.

The phone interview with the hiring manager went well, but I never heard anything back afterwards. I followed up with a thank you letter and continued to followed up with HR about 3 times after that. Although HR was friendly, they made it seem like they had no idea what was going on with the hiring process and asked me to continue checking back with them.

Have you checked out the Slovenia homepage?
June, 2005
Ljubljana is one of my favorite funked out little European capitals. It has all the charm and amenities of some of the more "popular" destination cities in Europe, without all the fanfare and crowds. While brief, my experience in Ljubljana was rife with good food, good beer, and good ol' Mediterranean charm.
Arriving on the train down from Lake Bled, I immediately took to hunting down the Fluxus hostel in the center of town, an artsy little place that has been voted consistently among Europe's top hostels. Upon arriving in my room, I found I was sharing a room with an Italian man from Venice who invited me out to dinner. While I appreciated the offer, I was sort of in the mood to set out and explore the city on my own. Looking back, I would have loved to have joined that Italian man for dinner, because I am sure that he had some fabulous things to talk about.
Walking around town that evening solo was an enjoyable adventure in itself, however. Set along the banks of the Ljubljanica River, the city reminds me of a smaller version of Amsterdam, with less bicycles and more outdoor cafes. Hopping around town from one bar to another, casually enjoying local Slovenian beers as pedestrians strolled up and down the bridges and canals, I found myself later that night wandering dark alleys on the north end of town in search of some underground university bar, and I knew it was time to just go home.
That next morning I woke up strangely early, and had another 2 hours or so until the free hostel breakfast was served. Seizing the opportunity, I headed out into the city for a still-brisk sunrise run from downtown up to the hill of the Ljubljana Castle for a panoramic sunrise view of the city. For those looking for one of the best views of the city, look no further than Ljubljana Castle at sunrise.
Seeing as I was still an active member of the men's tennis team back at university in Los Angeles, I was carrying two racquets with me all over Europe in hopes of impromptu practice sessions, and I was actually able to swat a few balls over at the Tivoli Athletic Center, a sprawling athletic complex with classic European red clay courts. I don't know if they have ever had an errant American backpacker randomly walk in with racquets sticking out of his bag and request a court to hit some serves, but it was a fun practice session nonetheless in none too random of a location.
