Not that we really need another thread to discuss Michigan's bubble status, but I didn't see this posted anywhere else yet. Andy Katz mentions Michigan getting an at large bid in his latest "5 observations from the week" segment. Here's a link if you're interested.
Andy Katz discusses possible at large bid
no see?
Click the word 'Link'
Looks about right but nothing we don't already know. Two out of three will probably do it, assuming one B10 tournament win.
I say let's just get into these last two games and enjoy it. Great to be back in contention with a team on the rise...and a coach who is as good as any...notice howfew complaints we hear these days about questionable coacing moves/strategies? Our coach is a plus when we're on the floor and that is a very good feeling.
Minnesota and MSU would move the needle a bit, but doesn't improve our profile a whole lot. Even winning one BT tourney game would probably be a win against a team not getting in, like Northwestern, Iowa or Penn State.
So we need a win against a sure tournament team to feel good about our chances with only one BT tournament win and that's Wisconsin.
An MSU win would most likely lock them out, so that's one less bubble team to worry about if we can beat them.
If we beat MSU and Minn, we are probably not finishing any lower than 6th. If MSU beats Minn, then they have 10 losses. If Minn beats MSU, then MSU will have 9 losses and the winner and loser of the PSU @ Minn game will have 9 and 10 losses. Assuming Illinois loses to OSU and Purdue on the road and win their other two games, they'll have 9 losses.
In the case of a 4-way tie involving Ill, MSU, Mich, and Minn/PSU, Michigan would finish 4th or 5th in the conference and would play Ill in the first game of the tournament. Even if we lose that game, we should have a higher RPI than MSU and Minn. So, unless they only take 5 teams from the Big Ten, I'm guessing that we will get in.
Is there any acceptable scenario (i.e. we go 2-1) that we end up 6th? I think I'd almost rather be the 6 seed and get a game under our belts vs the 11 and then go up against the #3 seed instead of having a do or die game against the Illini. If we win the 11 game, which we should, we'll be about where people expected and a win against 3 seed would certainly cement us in the tourney - I'm not sure a win against Illinois would do that for us.
That depends what you mean by acceptable. If we beat MSU and Wisc, MSU and Ill finish 10-8, and Minn finishes 9-9, then we will finish 7th. That would only take MSU and Ill beating Purdue.
And, I don't think that beating Indiana again will help us out at all. If we are still just outside the bubble at Tourney time, we will need another win against a NCAA tourney team to move at all. At that point, I'll take a game against a team to whom we lost by 2 points on the road as opposed to a team that we will have lost against at home.
Will a win against the Illini be enough? I'd think that if we go 2-1 and beat Illinois we're still on the bubble if maybe not on the upper end of the bubble but if we beat Indiana and then beat, say, Wisconsin or Purdue we'd be shoe ins at that point. I guess I'm looking at it in terms of what's the best way to get 1 huge win and be good. We'd need to play well to beat Illinois and then we'd have to beat the #1 seed to be guaranteed a spot vs beating Indiana and then #3 - that sounds like an easier path.
If Michigan goes 2-1, is the #4 or #5 seed, and then beats the Illini, Michigan is pretty much a lock for the tournament. That would be three Top 50 RPI wins to end the season, with a potential Top 25 RPI win if we beat Wisconsin. WIth a .500 Big Ten record, 20 wins, and a trip to the conference tournament semi-finals (winning the 4-5 game puts you in the semis), Michigan would have the resume. I think the picture becomes much murkier if Michigan loses the 4-5 game. In that scenario, does 2-2 down the stretch (even with a win against Wisconsin) get us in? I'm not sure that it does
It depends on how you look at it. If you are guaranteeing a win against the 2-5 seed, then Wisc/Purdue is better. If you want the best shot at getting to the top 4 in the tournament, then Ill is better.
Another way to look at it is that beating Ill will put us at a solid 4th in the conference. There is no way that they are taking fewer than 5 teams, so even if Ill jumped us, We should still be taken ahead of MSU.
Wisc would be a big win but I wouldn't call it a must...yet. If you had to take 2 out of the final 3 it may be too early to decide which are best. If we lost to MSU or MInn we may have lost to a team we're on the bubble with...while beating Wisc is obviously a top-20 win.
Let's take them one at a time and enjoy the ride. I believe in JB and am not ruling out taking all three.
This is true because Minnesota is a road victory. I agree Wisconsin obviously would be best game to have, but those other two will definitely do as we are coming out of the top-ranked conference and would still have .500 record.
Of course, our final resume and the committee is all that matters.
And I do think as of this moment we are outskirts of the bad side of the bubble, but with a definite path to get in. (Beat Wiscy and we are cross the tracks into the good bubble neighborhood.)
...that we have the same chance of beating Wisconsin at home as we do beating Minnesota on the road (29%, link). To me, the latter feels more likely, but I'll be there to watch us try for the former.
KenPom's predictions are impervious to "streaks". IE, it's complete math-based, and ignores that Minnesota was playing much better at the start of the year, and has been an average-to-bad team since Al Nolen was hurt against us.
Wisconsin is only 2-4 in league play away from the Kohl Center. They can be had.
Now that Hoffarber's been forced to take a bigger role Minnesota is as bad as anybody in the B10. If we can't beat them, even on the road, we'll have a hard time winning the other 2.
would certainly help things. Go Blue
Beating Wisconsin tomorrow would be EXTRAORDINARY!... particularly given that the game isn't until Wednesday.
Just giving you a hard time.
We will beat Wisconsin twice in two days. That will surely open some eyes on the commitee.
JB, do it.
Wednesday 6:30 EST. Would be a hell of a win for us. Morris and Morgan are going to have to play excellent on both ends of the court against Taylor and the big white guys they have down low for us to win.
I recall that one distinctly. My brother-in-law, who is from Minneapolis, and for whom I have bought Gopher gifts a number of times, and I spent the entire game jawing on instant messenger. I love the Big Ten.
I think Minnesota's the most winnable game left on the schedule. Our best home performance vs. Wisconsin during Beilein's tenure (this will be the 4th) is a 12 point loss. We have just been terribly outmatched vs. them. I think Michigan State's going to be a pretty tough game with them looking for revenge but I'll take our chances to be in both the Minnesota and MSU game, I just don't feel great about Wisco...
"At the very least, Michigan could go into the Big Ten tournament needing one more quality win to secure a possible bid if it wins its two remaining home games."
So, wait, he thinks if we beat both Wisconsin and Michigan State we're still going to need ANOTHER quality win to get in? Man, I was more of the thought that if we did that we just needed to win the first round game we shouldn't lose and then just stay competitive in the 2nd round. Of course if we won 2 games in the BTT and the two home games I'd think it would be a slam dunk which is maybe what he's talking about?
2 home wins and a first round win in the BTT will likely be enough to just get in.
Our resume will be:
- 20 wins
- .500 in the Big 10, the top conference in the country
- A top 25 RPI win - Wisconsin
- Sweeps against 2 of our B10 bubble competitors - MSU, PSU.
- A late season hot streak, which the commitee loves even though they claim otherwise.
That is not a fabulous resume, but it is good enough to get in this year.
Wisconsin presents the greatest opportunity. The significant hole, lack of top 25 RPI wins, would be filled. There are reasons to be optimistic and pessimistic for the game. JB has never beaten the Badgers as a Wolverine. However, this is a home game in the Big Ten meaning more of those 50-50 calls should go to us. Michigan needs this game much more than Wisconsin does. Wisconsin is not as strong of a road team as a home team.
Many Bubble teams would love to have the opportunity Michigan does. Whatever happens, the team has done really well.
I like Andy Katz. He generally gives us a good shake.
On another note, how surreal is it that Tommy Amaker has Harvard on the brink of an NCAA bid when he always fell short here? I'm happy for him, but it's just odd.
a "probably in" perspective. I, for one, do not think M is getting a fair shake in the tourney discussion. OT with Kansas and the Orange, routing Clemson, pushing OSU twice. This is a good resume, and TH 2 is smooth along with (wait for it) the "Butterfly," Beat the Badgers and we should be talking about seeding as opposed to bubble. M Hoops = Back to stay. Lets all get on board.
Teams don't benefit from close losses. If you don't win, it doesn't matter how much you lost by. The only exception seems to be the other way. If a team gets "undressed" on national TV in one of the last few games, they seem to suffer in perception.
I would rather see Michigan in the NIT this year, and here's why:
The lowest seed to win the tournament in the last ten years was a two; the rest were ones. You can pretty much infer from the data that if you aren't one of the best eight teams, you aren't going to win the tournament. Then again, Michigan did win as a three seed in 1989, but that still means the committe thought they were at least the twelfth-best team in the country.
I love the Wolverines as much as anyone here, but I am not going to delude myself in to believing they are one of the eight or even twelve best teams in the NCAA right now. They would, however, definitely be one of the eight best teams in the NIT, and possibly the best at this point in the year. So, although making the NCAA is a nice accomplishment, I would rather see the Wolverines play in a tournament they would have a very good chance of winning.
But I won't complain if they make the NCAA.
A first round loss in the NCAA is better than winning the NIT.
do benefit a team, especially when that team is young but clearly talented, and the close losses come in bunches and are clearly not flukes. Kansas and Ohio State on the road were nationally televised games when Michigan was in the game-really in the game, and not just on a fluke. Anybody that has watched Michigan play during the second half of the season knows that they have some players, and that this team will not an easy out for anybody in the tourney. Tater, you are very knowledgeable and I have enjoyed reading your posts on this Board, but rather have an NIT bid? That is a somewhat of desperate perspective with a team with this much young talent. You don't have to be loaded with senior and experience in college basketball to make a run at say Elite 8 contention. Michigan has a lot of talent on the floor. If f#%king Butler can do it, this team has the capability to do it.
These road wins are tough to come by the Big Ten, Michigan has three impressive ones, I really don't think any other Big Ten team aside from maybe the very top of the conference can make such a claim. I am expecting a M win against Wisconsin, and an impressive one at that. Go Blue Hoops. They are the real deal.

- Energy consumption of only 10.5 watts
Looking for ways to cut down on your electric bill? One easy solution is more energy efficient lighting. Old lamps and incandescent bulbs are incredibly inefficient and heat up very hot, very quickly. This eats up electricity when you consider how long you typically keep a lamp on throughout the day. Koncept Technologies has your solution in the AR2000-C-MBK-DSK Mosso LED Black Desk Lamp, Cool White. This sleek and award winning lamp uses 42 cool white, energy efficient LED bulbs that are also dimmable at the touch of a finger. A touchstrip at the head of this Gen 3 lamp allows the user to power on and off the Mosso Desk Lamp and at the same time dim the lighting output to their desired brightness with a slide of the finger. The head of this lamp also not only moves up and down but can also twirl a full 360° giving off light where ever its user needs it. Keeping with the energy efficient theme, the Mosso consumes only 10.5 watts. To help put that into perspective, similar CFL lamps consume anywhere from 13 watts of energy and higher while incandescent bulbs are much worse. Along with being extremely energy efficient the Mosso LED Desk Lamp was made with the environment in mind. Koncept Technologies has created this eco-friendly LED lamp from 57% recycled materials by weight and its aluminum housing is fully recyclable.
Along with the Mosso's ultra-flexible swivel head it has an easily adjustable 2-bar frame design to allow its user to point it in any which direction and angle they desire.

Target: Victor Manuelle
Goal: Stand up for marine life and cancel scheduled concert at SeaWorld.
Latin Grammy winner Victor Manuelle is planning to perform at SeaWorld on April 23 for the park's "Viva la Musica" concert series. This music festival is SeaWorld's latest money-making ploy to save its nosediving brand, which is now associated with systematic cruelty. The idea is to divert attention from the fact that the whole SeaWorld enterprise is founded on the exploitation and suffering of marine animals. Don't let them get away with it.
Good news came recently when SeaWorld announced that it would no longer breed orcas. This would never have happened without the massive backlash caused by the film Blackfish, a fantastic documentary that exposed SeaWorld as nothing more than a cruel prison for animals. The cessation of the orca-breeding program is a positive development; however, many animals—including orcas, beluga whales, dolphins and seals—are still held captive by the so-called amusement park, forced to live their lives in cramped tanks instead of the vast ocean where they belong.
The boycott of SeaWorld will not stop merely because they have ceased to breed orcas. It will continue until all of the sentient beings are released from confinement and sent to appropriate sanctuaries. With this in mind, events like the Viva la Musica music festival must be opposed. Thanks to the continued activism of organizations like PETA, several musicians have canceled performances at SeaWorld, including Willie Nelson, Martina McBride and Trace Adkins. Please sign the below petition urging Victor Manuelle to follow their humane example.
Dear Mr. Manuelle,
I am sorry to hear that you plan to perform a concert at SeaWorld on April 23. As millions of people now understand, to perform at SeaWorld is to support the abuse and neglect suffered by all the marine life held captive there.
SeaWorld is a nefarious company that profits from the exploitation of highly intelligent animals like orcas and dolphins. As the documentary film Blackfish exposed, the conditions in which these animals are forced to live and perform are deplorable, causing emotional and psychological distress, as well as significantly shortening their lifespans.
Surely, you do not endorse the exploitation and abuse of sentient beings, in which case it does not make sense for you to perform at SeaWorld. I respectfully urge you to join the growing list of musicians and singers who have canceled their SeaWorld performances, and I furthermore urge you to help educate your audience about the park's sordid enterprise.

Removing candle wax from the dress shirt is not a difficult task as there are many ways to remove it. When the candle wax drops on your shirt, let it dry and remove the excess wax from knife. Some removing methods require low temperatures while others require high temperatures. Using high temperature method includes rubbing the ice cube on the wax, so the wax becomes solid hard and then scrub it with some pointed thing.
To remove the remaining wax, you will need to use low temperature. Take a teakettle or some bowl, which can easily contain boiling hot water then stretch the affected area of shirt right over in the middle of bowl. Make the water reach boiling level, lower and dip the affected area in boiling water. Now the wax will melt away in the water.
Another method to remove the candle wax is to take some paper bags, put the bags on the affected area of the shirt and start ironing the paper bag. Remember never turn the iron on its full temperature or it will burn the paper bag and will make further stains on the shirt. The paper bag will absorb the wax, replace the paper and repeat the process until the wax is gone.

I'm loving this discussion on the offensive line. A few things to clarify. Under former offensive line coach Bobb McKittrick, the 49ers hardly ever used a zone-blocking scheme. The team's base runs, 94, 95 bob, 94, 95 power were all gap runs, where the linemen had assigned men to block. McKittrick used angles, and a system of traps, counters and sweeps to make up for his line's lack of size.
He also used trickery. One of his favorites was a weakside run where the play side tackle blocks down, causing the defensive end a moment's hesitation. McKittrick got his system from Tommy Prothro; he played for Prothro at Oregon State before Prothro went to UCLA and then the Rams. McKittrick coached for him at both places.
Alex Gibbs teaches the stretch zone, the running game's answer to Bill Walsh's horizontal passing game. Instead of going right after the defense, the linemen angle laterally and block the men in front of them. On the backside, linemen often cut block to open a cut-back lane. The running back gets the ball deep in the backfield and then watches to see which hole opens. He basically has three options, take it to the outside, cut to the middle, or cut all the way to the other side.
The stretch has inside and outside plays. The linemen have different striking points and footwork for each. I'm not sure where Gibbs came up with the stretch. Unlike the McKittrick system, Gibbs rarely pulls his linemen.
The 49ers used both zone blocking and gap runs over the past few years.
Recent 49ers history makes a strong case for a smaller line. Throughout the McKittrick era, the 49ers had the smallest or next to the smallest line in the league. But over the last four or five years, they've gotten bigger and their offense plummeted.
In the glory years, having a pair of Hall of Fame quarterbacks helped. But those quarterbacks benefited from a running game frequently ranked in the top three and an offensive line that provided enough time for seven-step drops. As many of you mentioned, it all starts up front.
Nofear tracked the recent history last year of the big versus small lines. I believe it was the Orlando Sentinel that tracked offensive lines for 25 years (1980-2004) and they discovered the teams with the lightest lines over that period, the 49ers and Broncos, owned the highest winning percentage. Only one team in the top five-heaviest lines over that stretch won more than it lost. Here are the results for the top heaviest and the top lightest with their winning percentages.
1. Raiders 53.2 (11)
2. Bengals 42.2 (28)
3. Ravens 48.8 (20)
4. Cardinals 36.8 (31)
5. Chargers 45.3 (23)
28. Jets 45.6 (22)
29. Steelers 57.5 (4)
30. Panthers 45.6 (21)
31. 49ers 63.2 (1)
32. Broncos 60.8 (2)
The 49ers are working against their own history and the recent history of the league by continuing to get bigger on the offensive line.
Coach Mike Nolan and general manager Scot McCloughan will be on a conference call today to talk about the opening of training camp. Players report on Thursday. Each year of the Nolan era had a spoken or unspoken theme.
After signing five high-profile free agents (Nate Clements, Michael Lewis, Aubrayo Franklin, Ashley Lelie and Tully Banta-Cain) along with a reputed draft, the theme was playoffs, a goal mentioned frequently by Nolan.
This year, that giddiness is gone. The team even pealed the infamous "Win the West" poster off a wall outside the locker room.
The 49ers are advocating a workman-like, one-day-at-a-time approach devoid of expectations. Get better everyday and throw all you can into each practice and see where you stand at year's end seems to be the theme.
With Larry Allen almost certainly on the way out, Adam Snyder is on the way in at this position, and Snyder is a 330-pound question mark. So far in his three-year career, Snyder's been O-line spackle. He's covered up holes mainly at tackle and a little bit at guard.
Now, Snyder might finally get a position he can call his own. He played one game at left guard in 2006 against the Eagles in a 38-24 loss. But the team amassed 392 yards that day and only yielded two sacks despite 46 pass attempts by Alex Smith.
No one knows how much Allen weighed, but in 2006 it was probably well over 340. Nevertheless, he was able to pull and lead plays and he was, at times, dominating. But can Snyder pull? The 49ers didn't do much of it with right guard David Baas last year and he didn't look good when he did pull.
With Snyder and Baas the 49ers might have to adjust their running game dramatically.
If Jeb Terry shows he can play tackle as well as guard, he has a chance to make the team. A four-year veteran picked up from Tampa Bay, Terry has Snyder's ability to play four offensive line positions (except center). During OTA's Terry worked at right guard.
Free agent rookie from Cal Brian de la Puente played both right and left guard during OTA's and minicamps and could angle for a spot on the practice squad if he plays well.

New Non-flammable, Lithium-Ion Battery: Researchers Hope To Make Exploding Laptops And Cell Phones A Thing Of The Past
Researchers have created a lithium-ion battery that won't burst into flames when overheated, a serendipitous, "unexpected result" of completely unrelated research. The new technology, which could vastly improve the safety of batteries powering everything from cell phones to airplanes, was discovered by researchers studying a material that prevents marine life from sticking to ships. The non-flammable material, perfluoropolyether, or PFPE, replaces the rather flammable electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries, eliminating fire risk.
Like Us on Facebook
"There is a big demand for these batteries and a huge demand to make them safer," said lead researcher Joseph DeSimone of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Researchers have been looking to replace this electrolyte for years, but nobody had ever thought to use this material called perfluoropolyether, or PFPE, as the main electrolyte material in lithium-ion batteries before."
PFPE has been used in industrial machinery for years. After realizing that the material's chemical structure was similar to a polymer electrolyte commonly used in lithium-ion batteries, DeSimone figured that the non-flammable PFPE might make a good electrolyte substitute. The material did turn out to be compatible for use in a battery, but there's still a lot of work to be done before such a battery can be scaled up for commercial use; conductivity issues and battery cycle improvements will need to be studied further.
Current lithium-ion batteries explode because of "thermal runaway," which is when overheating causes a chain reaction of cells breaking open. Lithium works well in batteries because it produces a lot of energy and has a low atomic mass, making batteries lighter. But lithium is also highly reactive, which is not exactly something you want to be associated with the device in your purse or the vessel you're flying in 30,000 feet above the ground.
The flammability of lithium ion batteries is why you sometimes read about laptops exploding "like fireworks" or a cell phone bursting into flames in someone's pocket. The problem has been known for a while: as far back as 2003, one research and development tech exec called the problem "a tiger in a cage," and as Techlicious noted in August, there have been over 40 recalls of products with lithium-ion batteries since 2002.
The issue of the lithium-ion batteries's safety has been in the news recently due to battery explosions in some high-profile products. In November 2013, the batteries of two Tesla Model S cars burst into flames, prompting a still-ongoing investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Last month, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the company's $212-million, state-of-the-art plane, experienced smoke in its cabin from an apparently leaking lithium-ion battery. One year before the incident, the entire Dreamliner fleet was grounded worldwide after batteries on two planes overheated.
The PFPE battery research was detailed in a study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

*** Grand Finale Cruise 2010: Sunday October 24th (GTA) ***
Date: Sunday October 24th 2010
Time: 1:00pm (~1:15pm departure)
Meeting Place: Dave & Busters Woodbridge (120 Interchange Way, L4K 5P7)
Let's get one last event in before the year's done. Similar route as to last year, which means lots of twisty roads and autumn scenery to enjoy. Here's a few photos I borrowed from 2009's photo thread (thanks Young Gun):
Important notes (actually read them!):
o This is a full day event, we will not return to the GTA until ~7-8pm.
o You will need a full tank of gas at the beginning of the cruise so fill up before coming to D&B.
o HAVE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE, CAR REGISTRATION, AND INSURANCE. OPP like to visit us on this cruise, and really only ticket for a lack of these basic items. Driving on bald tires is another easy ticket to get.
o Dinner is at approximately 5:30pm, and you will have the choice of two different restaurants to suit your budget and/or taste.
o There is a Sunoco (or Petro, it may have changed by now) near the dinner stop if you require 94 octane often (FI guys...).
o FRS radios will be used during this cruise, and are very helpful tools to have. Channels will be announced at the meeting spot.
That's about it for now. Click attending on the poll if you're joining us for this farewell to 2010.

Answers to at least some of your questions in-line below marked by >>. - Jim -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com on behalf of Skip Cave Sent: Fri 2/10/2006 5:46 PM To: email@example.com Subject: SCXML Issues - Intervoice Questions/Issues from Intervoice on W3C SCXML Spec dated Jan 2006. Definitions Proposals: 1. It would be helpful to have explicit definitions for the following terms to further disambiguate interpretation: >> Yes, definitions will be tightened in a future draft Engine - Platform provided for execution of one or more SCXML Sessions. SCXML Session - Entity where one or more SCXML documents may be executed. SCXML Document - XML document adhering to SCXML schema. State Machine - Is this a <state>, "SCXML Document", "SCXML Session"? See Semantic Question/Issue #8 below. >> state machine is the the <scxml> tag Schema Questions/Issues: 1. W3C has chosen to represent children of, for example, <state> in the schema as a <choice> group with minimum occurrence of "0" and a maximum occurrence of "unbounded". However, inside <choice> the number of occurrences of elements such as <onentry> or <onexit> are further constrained. A simple change from a <choice> group to a <sequence> in the schema would promote validation at parse time, overcoming the limits of XML Schema validation surrounding <choice> groups. Is there any intent or desire to make this change? >> schema will be tightened up in future drafts 2. <target> now longer present in documentation yet unreferenced <target> element still defined in schema. Is it to be assumed that schema is incorrect? >> schema is incorrect here. 3. Previously <target> was provided as a container for an anonymous <state>. As <target> is no longer referenced in schema, does it make sense to still allow the "id" attribute of <state> (Section 3.2) and <parallel> to be optional? >> ID will probably be made mandatory in the next draft 4. Per Section 3.4, <parallel> allows multiple <onentry> or <onexit> child tags. Tags of each type are to be executed in document order. Per Section 3.2, <state> does not allow multiple <onentry> or <onexit> child tags. Is this intended or should <state> also be allowed to contain multiple <onentry> or <onexit> child tags? >> no. parallel will be changed to have only a single onentry and onexit tag. 5. <exit/> tag no longer appears in the specification or XML Schema. Is this intended? Also, see Design Questions/Issues #1 below. >> yes this is intended since anonymous states are no longer permitted 6. With regard to Schema Issue/Question #5, Appendix B.4 discusses the possibility of allowing <parallel> as a sibling of <state> in the Schema. Will this imply that<parallel> will now have a Boolean "final" attribute? If <parallel> is allowed to be a sibling of <state>, does the idea of an anonymous <parallel> have value or should the "id" of parallel be changed from "optional" to "required" as discussed in Schema Question/Issue #3 above? >> The issue is whether to permit <parallel> as a direct child of <scxml>. <state> and <parallel> can never be siblings. 7. Various examples of <assign> throughout the specification contain a "name" attribute. However the XML Schema only defines a "location" attribute. What is the purpose for "name" or should "name" be replace by location? Also, please see Semantic Question/Issue #5 >> intent is to use location as a generalization of name, but exact relation of <var> and <data> has yet to be clarified. <var> is included for backwards compatibility with CCXML. The idea is that <data> is more general and allows to a location inside an XML tree, which can be designated by a path expression, not just an atomic name. Semantic Questions/Issues: 1. With regard to Schema Issue/Question #6, what are the semantic implications of <parallel final="true>? >> Good question. That's either an error or an odd borderline case. It will be clarified when we give a full definition of the semantics 2. Section 5.3 discusses the possibility of <data> with a child XML Tree. Is the intent here that an ECMA DOM must be provided by the runtime engine for the purposes of allowing traversal of this tree such as the behavior for the VXML 2.1 <data> tag mandates? >> Yes, but the data access language has not been defined and we would like to warn that the datamodel is the most unstable part of the spec. 3. Section 4.4, specifically the last paragraph of <invoke> outlines a need to pass "state id" to the external entity for purpose of routing return events. Since the "id" attribute of <state> is optional, it is presumed that the runtime must generate "id"s for anonymous states for the purposes of routing event notification to <finalize>. Is this expected behavior intended for the runtime? >> For the time being yes, but ID will probably be made mandatory in the next draft. 4. Regarding anonymous states, Section 5.1 discusses referencing of <data> elements defined inside a <state> using a dotted hierarchy containing the "state id". If <datamodel> and <data> are declared in anonymous states, reference to such data from outside the state will be impossible as the "state id" cannot be ascertained. Is the intent to leave the "id" attribute of <state> optional as discussed in Schema Question/Issue #3 purposeful in providing "data hiding"? >> anonymous states are no longer permitted 5. If <assign> has a "name" attribute as the examples suggest, is the intent that the use of "name" versus "location" implies that <assign name="xxx"> will only target variables declared using <var> where <assign name="location"> will only target variables assigned using <data>? >> see answer to schema question 7 6. As <var> and <script> are only allowed as "executable content", a situation arises where a developer might like to include ECMA functions using <script> that are "shared" (visible outside executable content container) throughout the document. Is there any consideration of allowing <script> and possibly <var> as children of <scxml>? The example that immediately comes to mind is the VXML Specification where both <var> and <script> are allowed as children of the <vxml> tag. >> Good point. we'll take this as an open issue 7. Data Model Initialization - Section 5.1 Paragraph 4 indicates that <datamodel> is allowed as a child of <state> and futher states: "However, all instances of the <data> tag are created and initialized when the state machine is instantiated and may be accessed from any state at any time." Please see Definitions Proposals #1. 8. With regard to Semantic Question/Issue #7 above, if state machine is interpreted to mean the SCXML document, there are semantic implications regarding an "initialization phase" (see VXML FIA) where <data expr"xxx"/> could contain an expression that references <data> declared in another <state> that has not yet been initialized. >> this will be clarified in a future draft However, if the specification were to state that <data> initialization occurs in document order, the user would be forced to order <states> containing <data> elements with "dependent" <data> references could be resolved without issue. Is there any future intent to add such a clause to the specification?

by John Weeks, Publisher/Editor of The Integrator Blog News & Reports
Bastyr teaching clinic ranks in the top among all Puget Sound primary care clinics
A report card from the Washington Health Alliance once again found that, from the perspective of "patient experience," the Bastyr Natural Health Center ranks among the top of all primary care facilities in the northwest. The study is entitled Your Voice Matters: Patient Experience with Primary Care Providers in the Puget Sound Region, 2014 Community Checkup Overview. The clinics were rated on four categories: timeliness, care and appointments; provider communication; courteousness of office staff; and the patient's "overall rating of the provider." In all areas, Bastyr ranked among the top performers. The WHA says that "effective communication between provider and patient is the most critical element of the patient's experience." This was the second report card in a row in which Bastyr's patients ranked the facility highly. Bastyr's release on the report is here.
Comment: I don't suppose the anti-CAM and anti-naturopathic medicine "science-based prejudice" writers will decide to pick up on this evidence (a priori – by its positive outcomes for naturopathic care – "non-scientific") and publish it to their audience. Congrats to the Bastyr team.
Consortium publishes standards for competencies for integrative medicine fellowships
Leading educators in the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM) have published, in the prominent journal Academic Medicine, a paper entitled Developing and implementing core competencies for integrative medicine fellowships. The paper, led by Melinda Ring, MD and Victor Sierpina, MD, is the result of a two-year CAHCIM commitment in 2010 to draft integrative medicine fellowship core competencies. The authors note that currently13 clinical fellowships in integrative medicine exist in the United States.
Comment: The publication and the CAHCIM project behind it are each timely. The integrative MD field is in what is expected to be the first year of test-taking for "Board Certification in Integrative Medicine" through the American Board of Physician Specialties. Those certified must already be certified in another MD specialty and then complete a recognized fellowship or a residential, US Department of Education-accredited program to become a licensed acupuncturist, chiropractic doctor or naturopathic physician.
Southwest Colleges of Naturopathic Medicine receives 2014 Business Excellence Award from Tempe Chamber of Commerce
Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine received the 2014 Business Excellence Award from the Tempe Chamber of Commerce on February 28, 2014. A statement from the college includes this from Mary Ann Miller, CEO of the Tempe Chamber: "The Business Excellence Awards recognize outstanding businesses in our community. Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine is an amazing company dedicated to their customers, their staffs and the community. We are proud they're part of the Tempe Chamber, and we celebrate their continued success." The release notes that the award recognizes SCNM for its "innovation, growth and commitment to the community" including " many educational and patient care 'firsts' [such as] a revised cutting-edge curriculum, the industry's first job board, NDjoblink.com, and moving the teaching clinic to electronic medical health records." SCNM has also broken ground on a new 47,000 sq. foot building on the campus with a naturopathic pain/rehabilitation clinic, teaching kitchen, open-to-the-public library, healthy café, fitness area, and space for public courses.
Comment: Such an award is not only an honor and brag-point for the college. In this case, it comes via a multi-year commitment of SCNM president Paul Mittman, ND, EdD to participation with his local chamber. It also signifies a kind of community arrival. The institution is honored for its business practices and values, rather than specifically for its medicine and health care. Sometimes such a back door entrance of the medicine into consciousness can be the shortest distance to increased recognition of the institution's broader healthcare mission.

Response to Why It's So Hard To Talk About Bareback Sex:
The issue here is not sex or sexuality, it's willful stupidity — doing something you know is dangerous but doing it anyway because it feels good. This is called being human. It's one of the main reasons why STDs are still spreading, why people still take up smoking, and why obesity is such a problem. You had bareback sex even though you knew the risks, you don't want to feel ashamed about it, and you wish there were some way besides condoms to reduce the risks because you're going to do it again since it feels great. Guess what? I wish I could eat donuts every day and not gain weight because I'm sure as hell never giving up donuts because they taste great. And if that can't happen, then I at least wish there were no shame in being fat. Who doesn't want some version of that, whether it be about food, sex, alcohol, drugs, etc.? What is there to discuss about that? All you've really done is have a personal epiphany about how messed up human nature is. You've couched your discovery in an attention-grabbing way, but there's really no novel dialogue to be had here.

September 13, 1953The Bold Victory of a Man Alone
By QUENTIN REYNOLDS
By Charles A. Lindbergh.
xperienced pilots, like experienced mariners, keep meticulous logs. This is as much a tradition of the air as it is of the sea, and Charles A. Lindbergh is a man who has always had vast respect for the traditions of his calling. The Spirit of St. Louis, a monoplane, designed by Donald A. Hall, chief engineer of Ryan Airlines, Inc., and powered by a 220-horsepower Wright Whirlwind engine, was delivered to Lindbergh on April 28, 1927, at Dutch Flats, San Diego, Calif., and tested by him that day. During the following year he made 174 flights in the plane, a total of 489 hours and 28 minutes of flying time. His log contains the record of each of these flights in the terse, impersonal language of the pilot. The log describes the most epoch-making flight of our times in this manner:
May 20, 1927.
Roosevelt Field, Long Island, N. Y., to Le Bourget Aerodrome, Paris, France. (Took off Roosevelt Field 7:52 A. M., E. D. T. Landed Le Bourget, 10:22 P. M. French time, May 21st.) 33 hours, 30 minutes.
Since that day Lindbergh has been one of the best known and least understood men in the world. In his first book, "We," dictated during the three weeks following his Paris flight, he merely presented a hurried summary of the events leading up to his adventure and a short account of the flight itself. In 1948 he wrote "Of Flight and Life," a 12,000-word attempt to clarify the struggle between scientific materialism and moral force, which he felt the world was facing. Neither of these books answered the question, "What is Lindbergh really like?" Friends and others less friendly have written about Lindbergh, but none succeeded in making the man live as a flesh-and-blood human being.
At last we have a book that explains and humanizes Lindbergh; that brings him into the company of his fellow mortals. The book is "The Spirit of St. Louis," and it is of course written by the one man who really knows Lindbergh--himself. He spent fourteen years in the writing of it; the years were well spent.
Were this merely a personal account of his almost miraculous flight it would have interest, but not much significance. But this is far more than that; this is a frank and fascinating autobiography that destroys the myth of the phlegmatic, nerveless airman impervious to doubt and to the uncertainties that plague lesser mortals. Lindbergh had his moments of doubt and fear, when fourteen hours out of Roosevelt Field ice appeared on the wings of his plane and when black thunderheads loomed ahead. "They [thunderheads] are barbaric in their methods. They lash you with their hailstones, poison you with freezing mist." No, Lindbergh during that flight was not merely a robot-like figure at the stick, he was not the supremely confident master of his plane and of his destiny. Was he on the right course? "Am I heading for Africa instead of Europe?" he asked himself in desperate anxiety.
His book is written in the present tense, a happy choice, for somehow this style sustains the tension of the flight and enables the reader to feel himself a stowaway aboard the plane, sharing the dangers, the uncertainties and the eventual triumph. It takes quite a bit of literary skill to sustain the first person singular, present indicative, throughout five hundred pages, but take the word of this awed and amazed reader, Lindbergh writes as well as he flies, and the interest and suspense never lessen.
What did Lindbergh think about during those long, lonely hours of flight? There were long periods of calm weather when the gallant plane needed only the light touch of his hand on the stick to maintain course. In an effort to combat the insidious and at times overwhelming desire to sleep, Lindbergh reviewed his childhood in Little Falls, Minn.; his lack of interest in college; his intense obsession with flying; his years of barnstorming, wing-walking and exhibition parachute jumping. Lindbergh uses what the films call the flashback method and he uses it far more effectively than do most movie-makers. He brings to life the hitherto shadowy figures of the men who taught him to fly, of his pals who flew the mail routes with him, of his parents and his uncles and above all of his grandfather. Grandfather Lindbergh, a true pioneer, occasionally worked in a sawmill to earn a little "hard" money. One day he stumbled, fell against the spinning saw and half severed his left arm. It was three days before a doctor came, but the doughty old Swede was still alive. The doctor amputated the arm.
"My grandfather lived despite shock, infection and loss of blood. Lying on his bed, in great pain, he demanded to see his left arm before it was buried in the garden. It was brought to him in a small, rough-board coffin. Taking the fingers in those of his right hand, he said slowly, in broken English, 'You have been a good friend to me for fifty years. But you can't be with me any more. So good-by. Good-by, my friend.'"
Lindbergh reminisces about his father--the Congressman to his constituents but a rather wonderful and wise companion to his young son. He taught Charles to shoot and to swim. "I became his partner," the Lindbergh of 1927 says proudly. They had adventures together quite as remarkable at the time as the desperate flying venture the grown-up son was engaged in now. There was the time they made a rowboat voyage from the headwaters of the Mississippi right down the river to their farm at Little Falls. At night, as bass sizzled in the frying pan, the Congressman would talk to his son about tariffs, monopoly and the "money trust."
"I sometimes wonder if he [father] doesn't spend too much time thinking about problems he doesn't have to solve. * * * But of course my father isn't like other men. There are moments when I feel he can see into the future, as though he were living, today, in years ahead; as though it's my life to come that he dwells in rather than his own.
"'Money can't draw such high interest rates indefinitely,' father continues. 'A man who has a mortgage on his land at 10 or 12 per cent doesn't have a fair chance. If the farmers don't organize, big business will take everything they've got. This country belongs to the people, but they haven't learned how to run it. The trouble is that people don't have any way of getting at the truth.'
"Father's concerned about the war, too. He says special interests would like to get us in it, and that propaganda is already under way. 'We're making too many foreign loans,' he tells me; and, 'the trouble with war is that it kills the best and youngest men.'"
Did his father's words shape Lindbergh's own course in 1940, when to the dismay of so many of his admirers he joined the isolationists? He doesn't say; he's too busy dodging thunderheads and fighting sleep. And then it's smooth sailing again and his mind wanders back to the eleven schools he attended from Washington, D. C., to Redondo Beach, Calif., "and there's not one that I enjoyed." Oh, there was one exception, he recalls. He graduated as top man in the Army flying school in Texas, and when his wings were pinned on his chest they "were like a silver passport to the realm of light."
He never knew it then, but every hour he spent unraveling the mystery of words like "Mercator," "gnomonic," "polyconic," "variation" was bringing him closer to "I love the sky and flying more than anything else on earth," he tells himself--and that's his credo.
Flying through the long, solitary night toward Europe, Lindbergh forced his sleep-obsessed mind to check and re-check his course, and gradually his will strengthened and sluggishly at first his body responded--and then he was awake again and wondering if the dream could possibly come true. It had been born one moon-clear night while flying the mail from St. Louis to Chicago. Why couldn't he fly a plane non-stop from one hemisphere to another as he was now flying from one city to another? Raymond Orteig had announced a prize of $25,000 to anyone making a New York-Paris flight. Why wasn't that feasible? The dream wouldn't be denied. He enlisted the support of nine St. Louis friends and they became touched by the dream--and eventually they helped him buy the beautifully designed plane he was flying now. He could never repay them for their incredible faith. He might fail, but it wouldn't be their fault nor would it be the fault of this lovely plane. He himself represented the intangible element. Could he stay awake; could he find the coast of Ireland and then France? Then ahead he sees specks which grow into fishing shacks. He's only 600 miles from Paris. He speeds on.
"Time is no longer endless, or the horizon destitute of hope. The strain of take-off, storm and ocean lies behind. There'll be no second night above the clouds, no more grappling with misty walls of ice. Life is real. It was always real. * * * "My mind is able to command, and my body follows out its orders with precision. * * * Yesterday I walked on Roosevelt Field; today I'll walk on Le Bourget."
And six hours later he achieved his destiny.
"The Spirit of St. Louis" has already run serially, in condensed form, in The Saturday Evening Post. It is a Book-of-the-Month selection for September. A condensation will appear in the October Reader's Digest. It is being published this week in Canada and England. It may well be that this will be the most widely read story of recent years. It deserves to be. It is quite wonderful in every respect, but above all it answers the question, "What is Lindbergh really like?" It's rather nice to know that the hero-worship we gave him back in 1927 was justified.
Mr. Reynolds, foreign correspondent and author, recently wrote "The Amazing Mr. Dolittle," a biography of Gen. James H. Dolittle.

Some agencies avoid submitting reduction reports
When drafting reports to show the impact of 15 percent cuts to their budgets, some state agencies described how their services would be gutted. Some simply explained why such cuts aren't feasible. And others, such as the Governor's Office, which ordered the reports, don't seem to know where to even make the cuts.

In the mornings--about the time the freeway noise escalates into an angry whine--there is nothing to hear in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park except the wind across the sandstone. And maybe, if you listen closely, the song of a canyon wren coming from a thousand feet away.
What you will not hear--any time of the day or night--is the sound of off-road motor vehicles.
The California Parks and Recreation Commission on Thursday held another public hearing on whether to reopen the park's 500 miles of trails to unlicensed ORVs. The commission voted down the proposal unanimously.
Both sides--the environmentalists and the off-roaders--cited a long list of concerns, from ecological and archeological preservation to recreational rights, in this seemingly unending battle.
But for many Southern Californians frustrated with the head-long slide toward urban sprawl, the issue boils down to quietness--and whether this vast desert park in the hardscrabble southeast corner of San Diego County will continue to be a place of tranquility or be turned over to dune buggies, dirt bikes and other recreational vehicles.

Gloria M. Roaden Scholarship
Priority is given to accepted MIDAS students who demonstrate academic success. The following was written by her daughters.
"This scholarship was established in loving memory of our mother, Gloria M. Roaden. Our mother was an intelligent women. She never finished high school, but she wanted more for our own children.
She always stressed the importance of education to us. Our mother realized that education is the great hope for the survival of humankind, and for the forward progress of civilization. She knew that education is the most basic necessity after those vital to life itself like food, clothing, and shelter; and that education is what lifts people out of the state of chronic poverty in which they struggle just to fulfill those basic needs.
Our mother had a passion and a vision for her children of a better quality of life. She knew the only way we could pursue our goals and dreams was through a good education.
Therefore, there is no better way to honor the memory of our mother than to continue her vision and passion for a good education to others. It is the greatest spirit of love and hope that this scholarship helps to put the recipients on the launching pad to soar in life and reach for the stars."
Her loving daughters,
Sandra Berger
