Certainly New England's 2-4 finish to the 2015 regular is less than ideal and very much uncharacteristic. We've never seen the team limp into the postseason with so many questions in the midst of a two-game losing streak. But there are plenty of ways to explain some of the struggles. Clearly the injuries and absence of guys like Julian Edelman, Sebastian Vollmer, Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower and others is a major part of it. So, too, is the way the team played out the final few weeks. Rob Gronkowski was used on the sidelines and as a blocker, not in the middle of the field where he does most of his damage and is so difficult for defenses to deal with. New England tried – too hard – to run the ball in Miami in the finale. So I definitely think that the team that will take the turf Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium against the Chiefs will have a great chance to win thanks to returning personnel and a more focused attack aimed at maximizing its own strengths. I'm not as fearful of Kansas City as so many fans and media seem to be. I fully expect a "comfortable" Patriots win and a fifth straight trip to the AFC title game. No one-and-done this year. Not happening. Maybe I'm whistling past the ol' graveyard. But I don't think so. Read

Cameron Fleming and Marcus Cannon are horrible starting tackles. Why don't they put in LaAdrian Waddle at left tackle, and move Sebastian Vollmer back to his right tackle spot? Is Waddle still injured? Read
J.P. Galasso Read
Yes, Waddle is still dealing with a shoulder injury. Plus, remember that he was essentially on the street as a waiver pickup late in the year. He's not exactly a proven NFL commodity. Fleming is a practice squader trying to hold down the fort. To me, the big problem is that Cannon isn't playing up to his resume and paycheck. He's supposed to be the swing tackle paid like a starter to fill in when Nate Solder and Vollmer have problems. Cannon just hasn't gotten the job done, though he's dealt with his own toe injury most of the season. I never thought Cannon was a very good option at left tackle, though. Vollmer is the best lineman on the team and the best choice for the left tackle spot at this point, assuming he's back to decent health for the Divisional Playoff. There is no doubt the line has missed Solder (torn bicep) as well as Dan Connolly (retirement) and Ryan Wendell (IR). But now is the time to make the most of things and that involves Cannon stepping up and Vollmer getting his job done as well as his health will allow. Read

I am the biggest Scarnecchia fan and promotor you will ever find. I think he's one of the greatest assistant coaches the game has ever seen and an even better guy outside the world of football. That said, the line had its issues at times under Scarnecchia's watch as well. Let's not romanticize it too much. The line has struggled this year with a ton of change, lots of injuries, many guys in new roles and a lot of young guys trying to learn/improve on the fly in the ultimate fire. All those factors have shown up in the play on the field. It's been good enough at best and, at times, putrid at its worst. But the protection in New England has so often over the years been tied to the quick passing game, riding the coat tails of guys like Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Edelman. When those guys are clicking the line looks better. When that area is struggling, the line looks worse. DeGuglielmo may deserve a chunk of the blame pie for a bad season, but there are a lot of other factors at play as well. Not sure even Scarnecchia could have used his magic on this group in this specific season. It is what it is. And it needs to be better Saturday evening against a Chiefs defense that has a very talented (if banged up) front that will look to pressure and hit Brady early and often. Read
Andy Hart Read
Is it true that the patriots are signing Terrell Owens? Read
Rodney Rhodes Read
No. Read
Andy Hart Read
Eliza Rivers Read
No. And even though it's only the first month of 2016, this is a very early, strong candidate for the worst, most unbelievable email of the year. Wow. Just wow. (P.S. Have you watched the rest of NFL's kicking problems this season? Geesh.) Read
Andy Hart Read
If the Patriots end up having to travel to Denver, do you think BB will take them out on Monday? It takes more than a few days to acclimate to the altitude, and oxygen on the sideline is only a Band-Aid. Read
Bill Duncan Read
Monday? No way. A day early? Maybe. The team has done that in the past. But, more likely, I think he would travel on the usual schedule that the team utilizes. Of late, rather than try to overcome the altitude, Belichick has been more likely to pooh-pooh its effects. He did that earlier this year and my guess is he'll do very little to acknowledge Denver's obvious home field advantage if the teams are to meet again in the AFC title game. I just can't see any way Belichick would take the unprecedented move of going to Denver for basically a full game-preparation week in the postseason just a day after the previous playoff game. NFL players and coaches are creatures of habit and schedule, my guess Belichick will stick with that as closely as possible. Read
Andy Hart Read
A lot of talk regarding Calvin Johnson's retirement now, what are the chances the Patriots pull the same move on Johnson that they pulled on Randy Moss? I think had they got Johnson they probably form the most unstoppable offense in the NFL yet, don't ya think? (Brady, Gronk, Johnson, Edelman and Amendola and Lewis as extra puzzle pieces). Read
Thanks Read
Shuki Harow Read
Hi, Read
Is there any realistic chance to get Calvin Johnson? Read
Greetings from Hungary! Read
Gábor Kakuszi Read
What are they chances the Patriots go after Megatron in the offseason? We saw what happened the last time that Brady was given a toy (Randy Moss 23 TDs, Brady 50 TDs). It would free up Gronk and the Edel-Dola. Read
Ryan Dewulf Read
While this is a fun talk radio and offseason topic, it would seem incredibly unlikely New England could pursue and land Johnson He has a major contract/salary cap issue, beyond the obvious hurdles of landing a Hall of Fame talent and franchise legend from another team. Maybe former Patriots director of pro personnel Bob Quinn settling in Detroit as the new GM will fuel this fun speculation, but I'd put the chances of it actually happening somewhere down around one percent. But, as Lloyd Christmas would say, "so you're telling me there's a chance!" So let's table this fun topic till the actual offseason, hopefully in the aftermath of more Super Bowl glory. Because adding Johnson to the Brady-led offensive mix certainly could be record-breakingly explosive. Read
Andy Hart Read
With the bye week having just past I spent some time looking through potential free agent targets this off season at positions of interest. The top 3 I saw that really intrigued me were Mario Williams, Sean Smith and Alshon Jeffery. Mario could help out a lot on the pass rush, Smith could basically be the new version of Brandon Browner just with better coverage skills and Jeffery could be the over the top threat the offense needs to complement the underneath passing game. I am keeping in mind that the team should probably look for a solid member of the O-line as well but there are so many holes it's difficult to pick where on the line to improve. What are your thoughts? Read
Doug Somers Read
I like all three of your ideas. Williams is the most intriguing to me. He's made huge money on two different contracts, but has never had much of a chance to win. Maybe he's reached the point where that is more important to him than another big contract if he's indeed let go in Buffalo. He's a proven, well-rounded defensive end. I think that Chandler Jones' future in New England is very much in doubt given his scheduled $7-plus million fifth-year option for 2016 and the fact that he'll likely be looking for a long term deal worth big money. Williams would be a potential replacement to work with guys like Ninkovich and Sheard. Smith is a guy I thought might make sense as a trade target this season and wouldn't rule him out a as bigger man corner to add to the mix as a No. 2 or No. 3 option. Jeffrey would seem to be the least likely given his relative youth and the fact that he will likely cost more than the Patriots are willing to spring for. It should be a fun offseason, but let's enjoy the remainder of the season first! Read
Andy Hart Read
Matt from Westford Read
I don't think Gronkowski will need to be kept in for protection against Kansas City more than usual on Saturday evening. I expect him to have a huge, resurgent game catching the ball in the middle of the field where he does his most damage. There are ways to help out the line in protection, including the use of running backs as well as big backup tight end Michael Williams. Gronkowski will have his chances to catch the ball against the Chiefs and I expect him to make the most of those opportunities. I also think that the return of Vollmer, the team's best offensive lineman, will be a boost to the front, even if he's not at complete health. Read
Andy Hart Read
Is Montee Ball going to be on the playoff roster? Read
Kaeden Spurlock Read
Ball remains on the practice squad, so he could certainly be called up to the active roster at any point. But I don't expect that to happen unless such a move is forced by additional injuries. The signing of Steven Jackson, along with Brandon Bolden and James White, gives the Patriots solid depth and versatility at the running back position. Ball also has had ball security issues in the past and I'm not sure that Bill Belichick would be looking to find out if that is still an issue, for the first time in a Patriots uniform, in a postseason game. That would seem to be a last possible option at this late point in the process and given Ball's track record. Read
Andy Hart Read
Youlanda Sanders Read
I don't expect Jackson to suddenly carry the offense or for the running game to be the leading part of the New England attack over the next three (fingers crossed!) games. Jackson has shown some ability to move the pile and find the end zone. But he's not going to put up huge numbers, by any means. Nor do I think Bolden or White would have given extended carries. The running game is and always will be a complementary aspect to the passing game. It is historically really only a key factor against the Colts, which is really the only time Blount had any postseason rushing success the last two postseasons. The offensive line isn't built to run first. The team is not built to run first. It is what it is. Jackson, as his age, certainly isn't changing that. Read
Andy Hart Read
With Ryan and Butler making such a great season, do you think it's necessary to draft a CB early in the draft? What does Belichick see in Jonathan Freeny as a defensive player? His coverage stats are awful (17 of 24, 150 yards). he has completion written in his helmet. Read
Gregorio Ladeira Read
I do still think the cornerback position is a major area of need. There is absolutely no depth at the position, which is why guys like Leonard Johnson and Rashaan Melvin have gone from the street to the defense this season. I also don't think that Ryan is a long term solution as a top-two cornerback. So I believe that the position is still a potential target in the first couple rounds to find a young, developmental talent who can immediately join the sub rotation and maybe evolve into a starter to play opposite Malcolm Butler to give the defense more game planning options in the back end. It's a passing league and pass defenders remain a premium commodity. As for Freeny, he certainly has struggled at various times this season. He's a career special teams guy who elevated to a bigger defensive role in his first season in New England. All linebackers, to some degree, struggle in coverage. But I also wonder what Belichick and Matt Patricia have seen from Freeny to want to play him so much, when healthy, on defense. It certainly hasn't played out that well, as you point out, on the game field. Read

Bubby and Bean is one of those great blogs that I try to visit at least once or twice a week. I haven't won a giveaway in a really, really long time. Seriously, it's been ages. I was super excited! I won a really incredible prize package, including ad space on THREE awesome blogs and a $20 gift certificate from Bubby and Bean on Etsy!!! I'm still so excited about it - it's crazy! And a great 2justByou Blog reader (Holly from Quiet Galaxy) even left a comment here on my blog to congratulate me (thanks, Holly! ;D).
I gave the ad space to our Etsy shop for two of the spaces won (I figured it's good with holidays coming up and all) and one of them will be an ad for my little blog here. And...My daughter made some new graphics! Check out the new graphics she worked on for us!

Oh no, that's not all!!! Just yesterday I went to visit yet ANOTHER wonderful blog that you might be familiar with (another Blogging Buddies teammate) - Kanelstrand. Last week there was a post that was completely out of the ordinary for this particular blog (you can see the post HERE), as it was about Sonya's creative process. I loved that she ventured out of her comfort zone and shared something so personal about her work with us as her readers. At the end of her post, she asked a question, and I answered it...Then she created a piece of art stemming from a suggestion made by lil ole me!!!

Western Michigan athletic director Kathy Beauregard says coach P.J. Fleck has not spoken with other schools about coaching jobs.
Beauregard made her statement in a text message to The Associated Press on Saturday.
Fleck, 35, has led the Broncos to a 12-0 record and a No. 14 ranking this season, and his breakout success has made him a popular target for rumors. Beauregard said Fleck is "committed to the WMU Broncos and preparing for the MAC championship game." Western Michigan will face Ohio on Friday at Ford Field in Detroit for the MAC Championship.
Fleck led the program to a 1-11 record his first year in 2013, then 8-5 finishes the next two years.

Your Honor, I object! We certainly didn't intend this issue of TidBITS to focus on legal battles. It wasn't our idea for the French to propose a law that would require Apple to allow any music player to play music from the iTunes Music Store. Plus, we simply couldn't have predicted that the Apple Computer v. Apple Corps lawsuit would be scheduled for the same week that the Creative Commons license was upheld in Dutch court. And for the record, Your Honor, we also have a new DealBITS drawing, a great MacNotables podcast on email clients, and a slew of TidBITS Talk discussions. The defense rests.

MacNotables Podcast on Email Clients
MacNotables Podcast on Email Clients -- Few types of software engender the same level of loyalty as email clients. It makes some sense; an email program is the communications lifeline to the world for many of us, instant messaging notwithstanding, and we all end up with a lot of data - messages, addresses, carefully constructed folder hierarchies - in our email programs that would be difficult to transfer to another clientShow full article

Don't Waste Time Searching, Read All About Vitamins Here

Vitamin A is great for reducing wrinkles and red spots. Even so, it can be dangerous if you take too much, so stick to the recommended dosage. Carrots are one of the best sources for Vitamin A.
Vitamin B9 is an essential vitamin for women. It will reduce high blood pressure, prevents heart disease, and helps reduce memory loss. Orange juice, eggs, melons, dark green vegetables and strawberries are all great foods that have high levels of vitamin B9. Many vitamin supplements are formulated for women with extra concentrations of B9.
If you are trying to grow out your hair or nails, consider adding a Biotin supplement. While it won't make your hair or nails grow faster, it will make them stronger and more resistant to breakage. In fact, Biotin is often recommended to chemotherapy patients to help them regrow the hair that they lost during treatment.
Do not take vitamins because someone you know is pressuring you to do so. Everyone is not the same, which means that what works for one person may have an entirely different effect on another. If you are concerned about your body lacking vitamins, you should consult your doctor to see what he would suggest. (more…)

Helpful Tips About Vitamins And Minerals That Are Very Simple To Follow
Do you know how it feels when you are healthy? Do you understand what it takes to allow you to feel this way once again? Are you feeling run down, tired or just plain worn out? Vitamins and minerals are what you need to bounce back, so check out all of the tips below.
Thiamine, or vitamin B1, deficiency can cause neurological and psychiatric symptoms. These symptoms can include weight loss, weakness, irregular heart rate and psychosis. A vitamin B complex can ensure you receive the vitamin B1 you need, or you can eat pork, brown rice, liver, oatmeal, leafy vegetables, eggs and potatoes.
Nowadays, minerals and vitamins are very important. Most store-bought food is over processed, which causes the nutrients to deplete. To get a good dose of quality nutrients, it is important you take a good quality multivitamin.
Vitamin C is one of the most beneficial vitamins that you can take. It promotes tissue growth, reduces cancer risks, helps with blood cell formation and quickens the healing process. Broccoli, peppers, oranges, tomatoes, and a wide variety of other foods are all rich in vitamin C. You can also take a supplement that contains vitamin C.
Take your vitamins in the way that's right for you. While the best way to get vitamins and minerals is through food, you may have to take a supplement. If you struggle swallowing pills, you could find smaller or chewable pills to take. You can also use the powders that mix with water. (more…)
Tips For Getting The Vitamins You Need
How many individuals really are in tune with the nutritional needs of their body and how to satisfy it? People usually don't. Your body needs many vitamins and minerals every day, but it's important to know how each one affects you. That's why these excellent and handy tips can be so helpful to you.
If you take a supplement that contains fat, they are taken with food. Take them at mealtimes. Vitamins E, K and A are examples of supplements that should only be taken with food because they are easier to absorb at that time. These vitamins are great with foods that are higher in fat content.
Vitamin A deficiencies can cause hyperkaratosis, keratomalacia and night-blindness. Forms of vitamin A, include retinol, beta carotene and retinal. This fat soluble vitamin can be found in orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, spinach, fish, liver, soy and milk. Vitamin A supplements can also provide you with the nutrients your body needs.
Try adding more magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D to your diet if you are feeling sad. A deficiency in any of these may actually lead to depression. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to support brain health, while magnesium can help your body and mind calm down and relax.
If you are post-menopausal, don't take prenatal vitamins. Many women that aren't pregnant takes these supplements for better nail and hair growth. Although vitamins are good for you, after menopause you do not need as much iron. (more…)

Autonomous cars are already crash-free: can people now stop driving into them?
A preliminary study of autonomous cars has found that they are already impossible to crash – but are still involved in proportionally more crashes per million miles than conventional cars.
Because conventional cars keep crashing into them.
The study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute on three of the 10 companies currently approved for real-world testing in California – Google, Delphi and Audi – compared the safety record from the early trials of autonomous cars with the overall U.S. vehicle safety record for 2013.
"Self-driving vehicles were not at fault in any crashes they were involved in", the team discovered. What's more, the overall severity of crash-related injuries with self-driving vehicles is also lower than for conventional cars.
But the estimated crash rate per million miles travelled is higher than conventional vehicles because so many normal cars drove into the back of autonomous cars: they're 1.5 times more likely to be hit from behind than normal cars.
Other cars also sideswiped them, and drove into them at an angle. But head-on collisions have been totally avoided thus far by self-driving cars.
Conventional cars crash with fixed and non-fixed objects, as well as get involved in collisions with other vehicles. Whereas every single self-driving car accident involved another car. They hit none: every time, another car hit them.
The numbers are low but it's still reassuring for other road users – this study suggests we have little to fear from autonomous cars. They are designed above all not to crash into anything. So probably aren't going to drive into anything they shouldn't.
It's those in self-driving cars themselves that should be more worried, by a public apparently quite willing to drive into them. And the only way to avoid that? Get us all into autonomous-equipped cars…

Factor 1: Professional Knowledge, Skill, and Technical Mastery
Level 3 - 1500 Points: Entry-level knowledge of the principles, concepts, practices, and methods of an administrative, managerial, technical, or professional specialty. Knowledge permits employee to carry out basic recurring tasks and routine portions of assignments or to carry out less demanding professional elements of assignments in professional or technical areas including accounting or auditing, financial management, business administration, human resources, law, engineering, science, or medicine, while gaining familiarity with the University's policies and goals, business practices, and/or accounting systems. This level of knowledge permits the employee to schedule and carry out the steps of a limited operation or project, or to complete stages of a multi-phase project. Alternatively, knowledge at this level might also permit the employee to carry out recurring tasks and routine assignments requiring moderate experience in specific areas within higher education. Knowledge at this level is typically acquired through a combination of formal education and/or training and experience that includes a requirement for a college degree in a specific technical or professional specialty. Knowledge requirements may also include a limited amount of related work experience. Alternatively, equivalent knowledge requirements at this level include a non-technical or general Bachelor's degree requirement with a moderate level of additional related work experience or a non-specific Master's degree requirement with some related work experience.
Factor 2: Supervisory Responsibility
Level 1 - 50 Points: Typically, little, if any, supervision of others is required. The job may require irregular but occasional responsibility to direct the work of student workers and/or temporary or part-time workers. The nature of supervision is largely confined to assigning tasks to others and does not include a full range of supervisory responsibilities. The amount of time spent on directing the work of others is normally a small portion of total work time.
Factor 3: Interactions with Others
Level 3 - 250 Points: The purpose of interactions is to advise or counsel others to solve recurring and structured problems, and/or to plan or coordinate work efforts with other employees who are working toward common goals in situations where relationships are generally cooperative. Interactions are moderately structured and routine and may involve employees in different functions, students, and/or the general public. These types of interactions require normal interpersonal skills.
Factor 4: Job Controls and Guidelines
Level 2 - 250 Points: The employee carries out a group of procedures using the general methods and desired results indicated by the supervisor. Typically, standard operating procedures, handbooks, and/or reference manuals exist for most procedures, but the employee must select from the most appropriate of several guidelines and make minor adjustments to methods. Unforeseen situations are normally referred to others for resolution. Assignments are related in function and objective, but processes, procedures, or software varies from one assignment to another. Based on the assignment, the employee uses diverse, but conventional, methods, techniques, or approaches. Employees in jobs at this level may perform work that is moderately complex, but normally performed within a fairly narrow and specific functional area.
Factor 5: Managerial Responsibility
Level 2 - 400 Points: Work involves services including collecting, processing, and disseminating information and providing advice to others. Work activities may be complex and likely affect the accuracy, reliability, or acceptability of further processes or services to the extent that others rely on the advice given in order to make decisions. Work activities typically affect the efficiency of the department but have relatively minor effects on operations within the cost center. Individuals in jobs at this level are often responsible for actively documenting, monitoring, and controlling expenditures. Incumbents may recommend minor expenditures, but have no substantive authority over budgets.

The icy moons of Saturn boast a wide variety of topographic features, including the deep Herschel crater on Mimas, the prominent equatorial ridge on Iapetus and the famous "tiger stripes" of Enceladus. The lesser known moons, Rhea and Dione also display complex topography, including impact basins, normal faults and ridges. The rich diversity of surface features on these moons is in part due to differences in their thermal histories. High resolution digital elevation models of such features can be used to gain insight into these thermal histories, as well as their internal structures and orbital histories.
For instance, the depths of craters reduce overtime through a process called viscous relaxation, which increases in efficiency with the surface heat flux. Thus by measuring the current depth and estimating the initial depth, the amount of viscous relaxation a crater has undergone can be calculated and the heat flux at the surface can be inferred. Additionally, ridges and normal faults impose loads on the lithosphere, causing it to bend in response. The width and the amplitude of this bending, called flexure, is in part controlled by the elastic thickness, the portion of the ice shell that behaves elastically.
We use digital elevation models of the moons Rhea and Dione to measure crater depth and the topography of ridges and normal faults. With this data we calculate elastic thicknesses and infer heat fluxes that are much greater than those expected for a body heated solely from radioactive decay. Our results suggest that both Rhea and Dione underwent significant tidal heating and that both moons may have had sub-surface oceans early in their history.

Everywhere in America, in history, two cultures collided, but few points of conflict were as sudden, or as well documented, as in northwestern California at the time of the Gold Rush. In this fascinating account by two acclaimed and accomplished authors, the local story becomes general. From close up, the reader views what happened when Euro-Americans and Native Americans competed for a place they both relished.
This book includes a detailed account of Humboldt's native peoples before European contact, plus their contact with Spaniards in 1775 and early mountain men in the first half of the nineteenth century. Most of the book covers the first 32 years after the Gold Rush, when much was in turmoil.
"A community history that ranks with some of the best published during the last 40 years.... While [Raphael's] focus is Humboldt County, his findings have much wider implications, as well as being a fascinating account for the popular reader." San Francisco Chronicle

Whoa. This completely changes my view on hand built vs modular styles. I may incorporate some hand built stuff into Wosho. Maybe even do a completely handbuilt house? Hum.
Thank you, while watching this short video I think I was transformed back to that little boy who only dreamed of a small paradise like this,… never grow up! thats the ticket, Tom.

2014 recruiting
Today's recruiting roundup wraps up last weekend's high school football action and more.
Jake "Butts" In Early*
Tim Sullivan reports that tight end commit Jake Butt made arrangements with his high school and the Michigan coaching staff to graduate in December and enroll early ($). Kyle Bosch, Taco Charlton, Ross Douglas, and Logan Tuley-Tillman are also slated to arrive in Ann Arbor this winter, and Dymonte Thomas will likely join that number as well.
Given the lack of depth at tight end, this is great news for the Wolverines. Devin "The Funchess" Funchess emerged on Saturday as the future at the position, but he's more of an H-back ("U"-back in the Borges offense) or big wide receiver than a traditional tight end, while Butt has the versatility to play with his hand down or off the line. Butt has a good shot at earning a large role in the offense next year and this increases his shot of earning a starting job right away.
*Jesus, I'm sorry.
Backs On Backs On Backs
Michigan only has two running backs committed in the class of 2013, but you wouldn't know that based on last weekend's high school football games. Cornerback commit Ross Douglas rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries to lead Avon to a 40-14 victory. Future Wolverine linebacker Ben Gedeon tallied 107 yards on 18 carries to help Hudson to a win of their own. Safety Dymonte Thomas spearheaded a Marlington comeback with 166 yards and two touchdowns—including the go-ahead score—on 19 carries. Then there was 285-pound nose tackle Maurice Hurst Jr., who pounded in a one-yard touchdown in a Xaverian Brothers blowout victory, set up by a 24-yard run in which he dragged two defenders to the brink of the goal line.
Actual running back DeVeon Smith toted the rock 26 times for 183 yards and the game-winning touchdown for Warren Howland despite a sore shoulder, but that's to be expected, right?
It's hard to believe, but some Michigan commits had the nerve to excel at non-RB positions over the weekend, as well. Two-way lineman Chris Fox, who is slated to play guard for Michigan, paved the way for a 34-14 Ponderosa victory and earned the admiration of a Highlands Ranch coach:
"Hey, Foxie," an opposing assistant coach yelled Saturday afternoon after the final play. "Great job. You kicked our butts."
Shane Morris, who received his Under Armour All-American Game jersey at a school pep rally last Thursday, completed 9-of-18 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown as De La Salle beat Dearborn Fordson, 40-19.
Wide receiver Jaron Dukes hauled in six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown to help Marion-Franklin to a 28-3 victory over Canal Winchester.
Perhaps the biggest star of the weekend, however, was Gilman DT Henry Poggi, who tallied 11 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks in a 13-6 triumph over national powerhouse Don Bosco Prep. The loss snapped a 46-game winning streak for the Ironmen.
While the Air Force game wasn't the huge visit weekend that Michigan State will be, there will still some major targets on campus. A large Cass Tech contingent made the short trip from Detroit, including 2014 CB Damon Webb, who told Tremendous that he could see himself ending up in Maize and Blue. 2014 Grand Rapids Christian OL Tommy Doles took in the game and told Allen Trieu($) that the B2 stealth bomber flyover was "incredible." 2013 in-state kicker J.J. McGrath was on hand as well and told Tremendous the visit really helped Michigan, though the deciding factor for him will likely be which school offers him a scholarship.
Things have been quiet on the Joe Mathis front, at least where Michigan is concerned, and it sounds like it could stay that way for the 2013 California four-star: he told Rivals analyst Adam Gorney that he plans to take official visits to Texas A&M, Washington, and Utah, and isn't sure where else he'll visit following a good trip to UCLA ($).
Happy trails to 2014 five-star AL RB Bo Scarbrough, who predictably made an early pledge to hometown squad Alabama.
Thursday Recruitin' Listens To The Right People
Today's recruiting roundup is short and sweet, as Monday's edition got bumped back to Tuesday; read on for updates on weekend visitors and a compelling feature on Maurice Hurst Jr.
Maurice Hurst Jr. Feature
The Boston Globe's Bob Holmes profiled commit Maurice Hurst Jr. this week, focusing on his relationship with his father, former New England Patriots defensive back Maurice Hurst. The elder Hurst has never seen his son play football and is almost entirely out of the picture, though he did try to give Maurice Jr. some advice on his recruitment:
One effort by Hurst Sr. to get involved backfired earlier this year.
The last time Maurice saw his father was freshman year, when he and his mother traveled to New Orleans, Hurst Sr.'s hometown. Since then there has been no contact, until they spoke just prior to Maurice's commitment to Michigan in June.
"My mom told me to give him a call to talk about schools. It was kind of uncomfortable because he kind of wanted me to go to LSU or Alabama. He didn't really think Michigan was an ideal school so it kind of frustrated me a little bit.''
Maurice never told his father he was going to Michigan.
"My mom may have, I'm not really sure.''
Hurst Jr. said in the article that he was looking for a school that balanced great academics with a shot at the NFL instead of just looking for a football school, so his final choice was not a surprise. The whole piece is well worth a read, and I'm sure Michigan coaches are excited to hear that Hurst's fabled 75-yard touchdown run last season came on a "power right" playcall.
Weekend Visitors Update
By his standards, it's been a while since IL WR Laquon Treadwell visited Ann Arbor. That will change this weekend, however, as he's set up an unofficial visit for the Air Force game:
Michigan Vs Air Force #ImThere #GoBlue
— Laquon Treadwell (@SuccessfulQuon) September 4, 2012
According to Josh Helmholdt, Treadwell also has an unofficial visit set up for Ole Miss the next weekend when they host Alabama ($). It's great for Michigan to get Treadwell back on campus, but I wouldn't expect a commitment; he's been steadfast in his insistence that he take visits before making a decision.
Also visiting this weekend is 2014 OH TE/DE Chance Sorrell, according to Tremendous. Michigan is joined by Wisconsin and Tennessee in Sorrell's top group, though none of the three have offered as of yet. TN OL Alex Bars, younger brother of Michigan freshman Blake Bars, also plans to attend the Air Force game, via Tim Sullivan ($). A handful of commits will be there as well, though not ace recruiter Shane Morris, who has a game against Cincinnati Moeller on Saturday afternoon.
Tremendous's Gobluegr gives us a name to watch as Michigan rounds out the 2013 class: Ann Arbor Pioneer cornerback Dewan Olive-Abinojar, who was very impressive when the Pioneers played Warren De La Salle (Shane Morris) in the season opener. Curt Mallory reached out to Olive-Abinojar after that game and told him he could potentially earn a scholarship, though I suspect he's a backup plan if the Wolverines miss out on higher-rated targets. Olive-Abinojar plans to attend the Michigan State game and says it's likely he'd commit if Michigan offered.
Happy trails to 2014 WI DE Conor Sheehy, who decided to stay in-state and commit to Wisconsin. The Badgers are off to a nice start in their 2014 class with four prospects—including MI QB Chance Stewart—already in the fold.
Tuesday Recruitin' Moves On
Today's recruiting roundup covers last weekend's high school action, bids farewell to a couple wide receiver targets, and looks forward to a big visit weekend for... basketball?
Get That Man A Square-Toed Shoe
Michigan commits Jaron Dukes (Marion-Franklin) and Taco Charlton (Pickerington Central) faced off against each other this past weekend; Central came away with a 45-24 victory, and MGoUser Dubs was there to take in the action. If you're looking to submit a scouting report for Future Blue Originals, this is how it's done:
DE/LB Taco Charlton, 2013: Despite Marion-Frankin running away from Taco (about 80% of the time), he managed to rack up 8 tackles, and a tackle for loss (zero sacks). It was about 50/50 as to whether he had his hand down as a DE, or whether he was lined up as an OLB. Pickerington Central did show multiple fronts, ranging from a 3-3-5(!), 3-4, and a 4-3 (with Taco as DE). He even saw around 5 snaps on offense, and caught a nice PA-pass for a 15 yard touchdown in the 3rd quarter. He did leave early in the 4th quarter after an apparent shoulder injury (possibly a stinger). But after being checked with a trainer, Taco was out there after a couple of plays, only to be banned to the sideline for the rest of the game after the game was well in hand. Pickerington Central won 45-24.
As far as the "eyeball test," I must admit I was a little disappointed at Taco's lack of aggression. There were moments when a sure passing down approached, and I expected to see that pass-rushing prowess we all read about in 7 on 7's this summer, but I did not see it. The tackle guarding him was very large (some may say "fat," but I don't want to personally attack a kid), and VERY slow, so I was expecting Taco to beat him off the line, lower his shoulder, and destroy the QB. Instead, he relied more on his inside spin more than anything. I will suspect that perhaps, it was because the QB was a very good athlete, Taco was in charge of contain more than anything. Marion-Franklin sent a back to chip Taco's outside pass-rush, as well, which also would limit his opportunities. However, I feel there were times where Taco could have taken over the game but did not. I do not know if it is a motor issue, or the coaches playing him conservatively against a dual threat QB.
WR Jaron Dukes, 2013: It was very difficult for Dukes to get involved, mostly because the Marion-Franklin QB relied more on his feet than anything. The throws the QB did make were hitches, outs, slants, and screens of all sorts. That being said, Dukes still managed to haul in 5 passes (out of 8 targets) for about 42 yards. He was targeted for a TD jump-ball thrown to him early in the 1st quarter, in which he had a height advantage of at least 6 inches over the opposing defender, however, the ball was vastly under-thrown, and was broken up. Dukes also dropped a possible TD pass (at least a very large gain) during the hurry-up in the waning seconds of the 2nd. Dukes also handled the kickoff duties, which, if Michigan is looking for some sort of "Tom Dempsey style" kicker/WR hybrid, they got their man.
As far as the eyeball test goes, Dukes did not seem to show a lot of explosiveness, either off the line or to create separation against the defenders (it was kind of a soggy/muggy night, so the field may have been less-than-pristine). There were many times in which the QB was scrambling and, rather than hit that extra gear, he seemed to simply jog. Perhaps he is not used to getting much "love," as most of the passing offense derived from the slot receivers (which if true, why not put Dukes in slot?). I will say this, he did look strong after the catch, breaking a few arm tackles and showing of a pretty solid stiff-arm.
Overall, I felt that these two looked the part of a D-1 prospect. However, it is hard to tell their true potential based on their supporting cast: obviously you'll run away from Taco because his supporting DE looked half his size. And it's hard to get any love as an outside receiver when your QB cannot make the throws. So, I had to remind myself: these kids are prospects. And with that, I have great faith in the Michigan coaches that they can mold these kids into serviceable players or, hopefully, even stars.
A huge thanks to Dubs for sending this in, as well as bringing up the possibility of a Michigan wide receiver also handling kicks "Tom Dempsey style."

Thursday Recruitin' Lives On The Field Or Dies Trying
Today's recruiting roundup covers Cass Tech's Hell Week, the latest on the Technician juniors, Maurice Hurst's surprising versatility, and more.
All Cass Tech Everything
Dick's Sporting Goods was on hand during Cass Tech's "Hell Week" to chronicle their preparation for the season. Part one is above and you can find the rest of the videos at their YouTube page. Jourdan Lewis features briefly in episode one. Head coach Thomas Wilcher does not seem like the type you'd want to cross, to say the least.
The star of Cass Tech's opening week victory, junior corner Damon Webb, currently has a top four of LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State (no order), according to ESPN's Jared Shanker ($). Webb will check out the Michigan State-Boise State matchup this weekend and plans to head to games at each of his top schools; expect him to visit the Big House multiple times this year.
Matt Pargoff continues to compile highlights from last weekend's action, and junior LB William White's tape is well worth a watch. White is #6 in, er, white, though you won't have to look hard find him—he's the heat-seeking missile:
White got a little too focused on laying big hits in the middle there, trying to lay guys out with his shoulder instead of wrapping up, but that's an easy fix. If he can learn to play more controlled, Big Ten offers await. According to Tim Sullivan, White is already hearing from Michigan State and Ohio State ($)
Pargoff also has highlights of junior LB/RB Deon Drake from Saturday; he did most of his work on offense and was a load to bring down, even for MSU commit Jon Reschke.
[Hit THE JUMP for Maurice Hurst Jr. doing things no 300-pound man should be able to do.]
Future Blue Originals: De La Salle vs. Pioneer And Prep Kickoff Classic
It was a marathon opening weekend of high school football; Shane Morris and Warren De La Salle overcame early struggles to soundly defeat Pioneer on Friday night, then Saturday featured four marquee matchups in the Prep Kickoff Classic at Wayne State headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Division I state champs Cass Tech and Division II state champs Brother Rice.
A note before I move along to the scouting portion: Yes, there was a shooting scare on Saturday night. It's remarkably unfortunate that a fight between a couple of idiots—
in which someone threatened to pull a gun and caused a panic, though the police say no gun was present—has marred what was otherwise a stellar event. Kurt Kosmowski, Marty Dobek, and the whole Detroit Sports Commission crew put a ton of effort into pulling together 12 high school teams over two days, giving these young athletes a chance to play at a college stadium in front of nearly 10,000 people. The DSC has announced that they'll once again hold the Prep Kickoff Classic at Wayne State next year; while I hope they beef up security a bit, I'm also confident that they'll once again put together a first-rate football showcase.
[UPDATE: I got clarification of what actually went on from Tim. There was an argument that caused the first rush of people running to avoid the confrontation, and officials stopped the game since people ran onto the field. The fight continued in another area of the concourse soon after, and this unfortunately coincided with fireworks at nearby Comerica Park, which people mistook for gunshots. There was no gun present. Apologies if there was any misunderstanding about the situation.]
With that out of the way, let's get to the recap of all the action after THE JUMP.
Recruitin' Mailbag: '13 YMRMFSPA, Biggest '14 Needs, Shane Morris Stats
YMRMFSPA: [404 File Not Found]
The recruiting news isn't coming as fast and furious as earlier this summer, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to discuss. This week's Recruitin' Mailbag covers the biggest needs in the 2014 class, the 2013 recruit with the best player comparison, potential switches in the 2012 class, and why Shane Morris's high school stats don't match the hype. If you'd like to ask a question for the next mailbag, email me or tag your question with #mgomailbag on Twitter.
What are the three biggest priorities for the 2014 class in terms of positions? — @browngalaga
Two position groups immediately stand out to me as top priorities for the 2014 class: quarterback and running back. While Michigan appears to have their quarterback of the future in Shane Morris, they didn't take a QB in 2012; if Devin Gardner doesn't get his medical redshirt, Morris and Russell Bellomy will be the only scholarship QBs on the roster in 2014. With Morris in the fold, it's not imperative that Michigan takes a top-100 type, but they'll need a solid prospect who's a good bet to start as an upperclassman.
At running back, Michigan isn't lacking in pure numbers—barring attrition, six scholarship RBs will be around in 2014, plus fullback Sione Houma—but they're still missing that workhorse, every-down back that Wolverine fans are accustomed to seeing. Instead, there's currently a variety of situational backs—Hayes and Norfleet as slot types, Rawls and Shallman as battering rams—plus DeVeon Smith and Drake Johnson. I don't see Johnson as a threat to crack the two-deep at running back, putting a lot of pressure on Smith to pan out. If Michigan whiffs on Derrick Green, they'll need a big-time prospect to come through in 2014.
As for the third position of need, that's a little tougher to pick, which says a lot about the job Hoke and Co. have done filling the holes in the roster. I'd go with nose tackle; unless Willie Henry and Maurice Hurst Jr. both land there and develop into rotation guys, there will be a huge need for depth behind Ondre Pipkins. At a position where you need a solid rotation of players to keep everyone fresh, getting at least one guy who can clog the middle certainly wouldn't hurt.

Having problems with your PC Laptops ?
Laptop comes on and then shuts down again the charger works and the battery has just been replaced,the charger also runs for about a minute and then that cuts out
Answers :
This sounds like the laptop try's to load windows then restarts. Do you see a blue screen then restarts? or just loops? loop means shutdown restart shutdown restart on it's own and keeps repeating that process without ever loading windows. if this is the case you have issues with the operating system and should be able to press f8 during next boot up, at the black screen begin tapping the f8 key this will eventually load the windows boot menu select load windows in safe mode with network support. this will load the operating system and allow you to remedy your problem. go to start > run tyoe in msconfig and press enter when the windows pops up select services and on the bottom place a check in the box that says hide Microsoft services. then click disable all make shure you put a check mark in the hide ms first or you will not be able to boot again. good luck.

This is one crazy dog! Her nickname that everyone actually calls her by now is "beans" which was originally Jumping Bean because she never sits still! She is all over the place all the time and never quits. She is entertaining to say the least and never seems to amaze us with the odd things she does. Her likes are Rudy, Nicky and Sasha [our other dogs], treats, hidding under blankets, pillows, towels, in laundry baskets, in peoples sweaters, following her mommy around the house like a shadow, and pretending to be a doberman and guarding the house. Her dislikes are strangers, people touching her mommy, the cold, the outdoors and pop cause she had to be nosy and try and drink it then gave us a dirty look like we forced her to drink this nasty stuff lol. Overall she is very entertaining and can be sweet when she isn't being sneaky like a little racoon.

Gallery: Ask A Winemaker: What Do You Drink When You're Not Drinking Your Own Wine?
Italian Wine, Burgundy, Sonoma Pinot Noir
"To be honest, I don't drink my own wine very often. I taste it a lot, but I am usually way too critical to sit down and enjoy a glass of my own wine. I liken it to an author sitting down and reading his own books. So what do I drink? It is very important for me to keep an open mind and taste wine from all over. Right now I am drinking a lot of Italian wines, Burgundy, and Sonoma Pinots."—Gavin Chanin, Price Chanin Vineyards & Chanin Wine Company (California)
Pinot Noir, Champagne, and Gin
"We mostly drink Pinot Noirs from all over the world but I also enjoy small production Champagnes and locally produced gins, like Aviation, Bend Distillery, New Deal."—Lynn Penner-Ash, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars (Oregon)
Not My Own Wines!
"In all honesty, I try to avoid drinking my own wines as much as possible. There is a world of wine out there and I need to experience as much of it as possible to continue getting better in our own pursuit of excellence. We tend to gravitate to the Rhone on many occasions. Whether it is a densely packed and intense Chateauneuf du-Pape of the South or a lean minerally, gamey, meaty Syrah of the North, there is so much to be enjoyed there. This becomes extremely insightful when making Rhone style wines in Washington State."Corey Braunel, Dusted Valley (Washington)
Excited By New Wines With Soul
"I am mostly interested in wines which have a soul and are made with heartfeel and passion. I believe you can taste that. Last week I spent some time in a winebar in Sausalito called "Bacchus and Venus" with 2 young winemakers. The lady at the winebar gave us a flight of four wines from areas and estates I have not known so far. It was so interesting to taste these wines from California with these young men and we could change our opinions about the different wines and styles. It made me so happy! On my trip last November to Portugal, I tasted completely new wines (for me) from very old indigenous Portugese grapes. It made my heart jump!"—Heidi Schrock (Austria)
Desert island wine: White Burgundy
"I love wine from all over the world because every bottle has a story attached to it and, even if you don't particularly care for the wine from an organoleptic point of view, it has something to tell about the region that it is from and the winemaker who made it. While Burgundy and Barolo are my favorite wine regions, give me a rosé from Corsica, a white from Slovenia, a Nero Davola from southern Italy or a riesling from Alsace. Closer to home, give me an old Cabernet from the Napa Valley (before they started to irrigate when alcohols were 12.5%!) or a Zinfandel from Dry Creek. But, seriously, if I were to find myself on a desert island and I could only have one type of wine to drink, the answer would be White Burgundy. When these wines are good I think they are perhaps the greatest wines in the world and they are incredibly versatile going with an array of food. And when you are fortunate enough to drink one which is 10-20 years old... Vincent Ramonet, Marc Collin, Comte Lefon, François Jobard...well, it will rock your world!"—John Paul, Cameron Winery (Oregon)
"I cast a wide net, but I always come back to Chardonnay. I know, not the geekiest answer for some guy kicking semi-carbonoic, whole cluster, concrete egg fermented, birds out of trees. But whether it is Blanc de Blancs grower Champagne, Chablis, Chards from the Jura, or some of the domestic examples that come off of Heintz Vineyard and other great sites, chardonnay from the right place and in the right hands beats me with a stick. I mean that in a good way."—Hardy Wallace, Dirty & Rowdy Family Winery (California)
A Perfect Margarita
"Winemakers can't always drink wine, especially after a hot, long day of harvest or a grueling week of bottling. A well-made Margarita is one of those perfect cocktails that is just plain satisfying in almost every way. However, I do not buy into the viewpoint that average "well-grade" tequila makes the best Margarita. As in food, as in wine, better ingredients and raw materials always yield a superior end result. Thus, I always find that when using a better, smaller-batch tequila the drink is simply more interesting and enjoyable. That does not mean being silly and using $100-200/bottle tequila, just something more carefully made. A current favorite for this is the Partida line."—Hugh Chappelle, Quivira (California)
Sancerre and Virginia Wine
"I love Sancerre. This is what we try to model our Sauvignon Blanc on. I do drink quite a bit of Virginia wine because I think we have some very talented winemakers here. I enjoy tasting the stylistic changes in a certain varietal or the variance from vintage to vintage. Cabernet Franc is huge here, as is Viognier (the official state grape), and single varietal Petit Verdots."—Rachel Stinson, Stinson Vineyards (Virginia)
Wines from the Rhone
"I taste many wines other than my own, notably those of the Rhone Valley. I draw inspiration from these wines. They have a completely different vinification technique than ours in the Beaujolais, and sometimes I use this technique when I think it would be beneficial to my wines. It was a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape that first sparked my taste buds at 16 years old, and today I still remember it. After that, I tasted wines from all over the Rhone Valley. The Côte-Rôtie's of Jean-Michael Stéphan really made an impression on me. The Cornas from Thierry Allemand as well. I could, of course, reference many others…Gramenon, Marcel Richaud, etc."—Charly Thévenet, Beaujolais, France
Savoie, Corsica, Chablis...
"When I am not drinking Arnot-Roberts I love to drink wine I have never had before. I have been enjoying Savoie (Belluard) and Corsican (Abbatucci) whites lately, and always Chablis (Piuze). Cru Beaujolais (Julien Sunier) and Cotes du Jura (Gahier) reds as well."—Nathan Roberts, Arnot-Roberts (California)
"Cab is king in my book. I enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon from around the world, as well as from other Washington wineries."—Mike Januik, Januik Winery and Novelty Hill (Washington)
Rioja, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir
"I enjoy Pinot Noirs from different corners of the wine world, Gewürztraminer, mainly from Alsace, and wines from Spain (mainly Rioja). But whenever I get my hands on any interesting wine from pretty much anywhere in the world, I want to try it."—Johannes Reinhardt, Anthony Road (New York)
Lots of Tea
"I drink other Oregon wines, Burgundy, Italian reds, Alsatian whites, and Steve Smith Tea. In fact, I should have put the tea first. "—Dave Paige, Adesheim (Oregon)
Cru Beaujolais, Jura, and California
"Oh, there are so many wines to go with so many moods! But I must say, my wife and I love the wines of the Loire Valley; the great Grand Cru Beaujolais wines (Morgon, Flurie, etc.); wines from the Jura; well-made wines from Italy; Burgundies (when we can afford it); great rieslings from Austria and Germany; and of course many wines from the US whose winemakers choose to make balanced, complex, multi-faceted wines (rather than blockbuster wines). Arnot-Roberts, Windgap, Nalle, Hirsh, etc. Ridge Montebello Cabernets, which I have a lot in my cellar."—Michael Dashe, Dashe Cellars (California)
Off the Beaten Track
"When I look at what's in my cellar, it's comprised mostly of old world wines, primarily from France and Germany (my mother is from the Pfalz). I have a keen interest in the varieties that we grow (at Paumanok), so, as much as I can, I drink Bordeaux reds, Loire whites, German Rieslings, white Burgundy. But, I also try to expose myself to the great world of wine and will frequently explore varieties off the beaten track (e.g., Ramisco, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Melon de Bourgogne, Sylvaner). I have worked harvests in Chile, South Africa and New Zealand and so I also follow the wines from those parts of the world as well. And the wines of Lebanon (where my father is from). And of course I drink the local wines of my peers on Long Island and the Finger Lakes and other domestic wines from the East Coast and West Coast. I think it is vital for me to experience a wide variety of wine styles and terroir. It's a tough job but someone has got to do it!"—Kareem Massoud, Paumanok Vineyards (New York)
Alsace, Austria, Burgundy, Rhone
"In white, I take much pleasure in tasting a Condrieu, or a wine from Alsace without residual sugar. I like also the Riesling and Gruner Vetliner of the Hirsch estate in Austria. In red, Burgundy as well as the red wines of the Rhone (Chateauneuf, St Joseph, Crozes, but also Cairanne, Vaqueyras…)"—Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, Champagne R. Geoffroy (France)
A Glass of Bubbles Each Night
"The nature of my experience makes me want to experience more. I drink a wide range of both producers and regions that make up the wine world. My only constant is a glass of Champagne every night to remind me to celebrate a pretty remarkable existence."—Joel Peterson, Ravenswood Winery (California)
