Déjà Vu, Then Something Different
10/8/2011 – Michigan 42, Northwestern 24 – 6-0, 2-0 Big Ten
Last week's picture pages focused on a two-play sequence in which Stephen Hopkins bulldozed a Minnesota linebacker on an iso, then pretended he was going to do the same on the next drive before running right past him for a long completion up the seam. If Michigan wasn't playing Minnesota the iso would have gone for a few yards and that sequence would have been the Northwestern game exactly: two halves, pretty much the same same thing, radically different results.
Half the first: this old bad thing again
It is not fun to be a Michigan fan seeing your past flash before your eyes when your team is going up against the spread offense. Three hundred yards and twenty-four points in the first half? I have seen this before. It ends with me in the fetal position muttering something about Armanti Edwards or Donovan McNabb or this exact Northwestern team blowing up the recordbook in 2000 in this exact stadium at this exact time. The only intelligible things in the moaning will be a bleated "Herrrrrrmaannnn" or strangled "Englissssssh."
I uncurled long enough at halftime to get a tweet out about how we were essentially getting Rich-Rodded to death. We'd heard about but rarely seen this kind of thing the last three years: Northwestern killed Michigan with bubbles they weren't aligned to defend and expertly used varying tempos to catch Michigan off guard much of the first half. This was the spread 'n' shred at full absorption, the kind of thing you can do when you are totally committed to one style of offense you know well.
That was influenced by these super-interesting Calvin Magee videos* in which he's describing the philosophy of the offense that just led a redshirt freshman everyone recruited as a receiver and his sidekicks to a BCS win over Georgia. I'm an hour and a half in and and it's mostly been Magee describing the various tempos WVU uses and breaking down various bubble screens.
This fresh in my mind, my experience of the first half was thus accompanied by a strong sense of déjà vu as the Wildcats bubbled and tempo-ed and aargh-safetied their way down the field. It was simultaneously the thing we'd always seen and the thing we never got to see. It was yet another reason to shake your fist at the Great Rodriguez Defensive Coaching Malpractice. It was unpleasant.
I envisioned Rodriguez sitting in the same room with Ralph Friedgen. Rodriguez watches the Michigan game; Friedgen watches Maryland. Mike Leach pops his head in from time to time. They are sipping cognac, smoking cigars, and laughing maniacally.

It is more fun to be a Michigan fan seeing your past flash before your eyes when the Rodriguez spread is the other team's and they are suddenly incapable of moving the ball while their defense is incapable of anything at all. Insert any of a dozen games over the last three years for comparisons. 2008 Penn State may be the canonical example.
The collapse of the Northwestern offense shouldn't be overstated. They only had four second-half drives that meant anything thanks to the offense executing this second half:
- 8 play, 80 yard TD
- 12 play, 80 yard TD
- 6 play, 47 yard TD
- 7 play, 28 yard FGA
- 9 play, 53 yard TD
This was a masterpiece for the time of possession fetishists. Northwestern opportunities were limited. (As an incidental bonus, Michigan also got 28 points while "keeping the Wildcats off the field." Funny how that works.)
In the aftermath you can't poke a newspaper-type person (and even the occasional blogger) not talking up adjustments. I'm not so sure the adjustment were brilliant. They consisted of telling Denard to stop throwing terrible interceptions and throwing Jake Ryan into the slot—hello heebie jeebies—so the Wildcats couldn't bubble Michigan to death. That accomplished, they waited for the turnover flood.
One sack, two of those turnovers, and a quarter-and-a-half later Michigan was already in rush-the-passer, kill-the-clock mode up 11 with nine minutes left. The first turnover should have been a first down conversion that pushed the Wildcats into Michigan territory; the second was an excellent strip by Thomas Gordon on a drive that had moved from around the Northwestern 20 to midfield.
The adjustment was not giving up the thing they shouldn't have been giving up in the first place and not arm punting directly at opponent safeties. Michigan was just better, no brilliance required. The second half bore that out.
The end result: 42 points despite three turnovers, 541 yards, 360 ceded, and a margin of victory over the Wildcats larger than any since 2004. The 2004 team was the last one Michigan team to smoke-and-mirror its way to a Rose Bowl—if that's really what a team one inch away from beating Vince Young really did.
As the weeks pass the questions fade. Michigan seems flatly better than everyone they play, no qualifiers necessary. This week the Spartans will test that theory. They are the mirror; this weekend blows away the smoke.
*[It's mostly football stuff but a couple of personality items:
1. Magee's showing a clip of a bubble they ran against Cincinnati and apropos of nothing says "the coach, I can't remember his name, is a really nice guy." Someone in the room says "Dantonio?" and he replies "Yeah, Dantonio. Nice guy." Wonder how Magee feels about him now—easy to think someone's a nice guy when you beat him 38-0.
2. Magee's describing a bubble against Georgia in their Sugar Bowl win as a pre-snap read he let White have because he "wants to let the kid grow." WVU ran two different bubbles, a pre-snap read based on alignment and a post-snap read with a full mesh point and an option afterwards if the QB keeps. By allowing White to make the read before the snap he's giving him more flexibility in the offense.
Rodriguez, in contrast, "isn't going to put his fate in the hands of a 19-year-old kid" and wants his QBs to "read it out" post snap all the time.
This particular bubble looked there pre-snap but wasn't actually because a desperate Georgia defense was plunging the safety down at it; WVU didn't have any PA off the bubble—hard to believe—at the time, something Magee said he regrets and they obviously fixed.]
Non-Bullets Of Inverseness
Yes we have no photos. Road game means we don't have a gallery, at least not yet. Mike DeSimone collects everyone's pictures weekly at his page.
BRADY HOKE EPIC DOUBLE POINT OF THE WEEK AWARD. Awarded to Brady Hoke for the following section.
Game theory bits. You will not be surprised that I was very much in favor of the fourth and one in the first half, especially given the state of Michigan's defense at that point and what we'd seen Northwestern do on D in their first few games. The result of that play and their ability to convert on the ensuing drive was the difference between going in down 24-14 and 24-7.
While the dominant second half made that touchdown irrelevant in the long run, the people who doubt the wisdom of that call are the same who ascribe a mystical power to momentum. If you're worried about giving momentum up by not converting you have consider the possibility of acquiring it by getting a touchdown, which in addition to being momentum-tastic is also worth seven points. For me, simple calculation: fourth and one near midfield against a team with an iffy defense and in possession of Denard Robinson. Go.
Also not a surprise: thumbs down to the field-goal attempt. I'd actually started arguing with my friend about it on second down. I was in favor of going on fourth and reasonable; he and others around me were in favor of kicking. My main rationale was that there's a huge difference between 18 and 11 (game over, especially with more time off the clock) and only a meh difference between 11 and 14.
We were having this as a hypothetically kicker-independent argument, but there seemed to be agreement that with Michigan's situation at that spot you go. If you had Nate Kaeding I could see kicking, but Gibbons has never made a field goal of 40 yards, let alone 48, and 4th and 5 is very makeable.
Even with the FG attempt I disagreed with, my "Brady Hoke is awesome on gameday" meter incremented a notch. On twitter someone said he tried to sneak Denard and a WR out with the punt team before the timeout, which if true is awesome. It means the TO was not hesitation but rather a trick being snuffed out and that even when the trick was foiled Hoke still went for it.
2: Denard Robinson (Notre Dame, Eastern Michigan), Brady Hoke (San Diego State, Northwestern)
1: Jordan Kovacs (Western Michigan), David Molk (Minnesota)
Almost went with Hemingway for the ND game since Hemingway didn't throw a bunch of interceptions but "WHAT?!" and "the game is ova" were tiebreakers.
Something I've never screamed before. "NICE BLOCK," I yelped a moment after Michael Shaw blew up Bryce McNaul with a cut block:
Thanks to terrible play by the NW MLB and what looks like a slant by the playside DT all Shaw had to do was meekly shove McNaul for Denard to burst into the secondary, but yelp == shoutout.
via AnnArbor.com and Mike DeSimone
Hello Mr. Gardner. Gardner had another package in this game. I didn't like this one as much. It seemed too on-the-nose to run that jet sweep to Denard, then come back with a naked boot off it the next time you ran it. Michigan just executed a similar pattern against Minnesota, so NW was prepared. Above is the linebacker Gardner dodged en route to three yards.
And then there was that bit late in the game where Gardner came in. At first he was just handing off/getting the corner from the one, which is not that thrilling, but before that they brought him in to hit Jeremy Jackson on second and ten.
If Gardner can handle it future plays with both guys on the field should be less focused on Denard—maybe make that jet sweep fake and then drop back as per normal. Robinson is an option but not the only one.
Obvious waggle is inverted. On the Watson touchdown, the universe thought "waggle" when Michigan brought in an I-form big on second and goal from the nine. Michigan ran it to the short side of the field, breaking a tendency, and got rewarded for it with an wide open Steve Watson (who Denard nearly missed).
Bipolar OL. Maybe. Michigan couldn't run the ball but it occurred to me there was a strong possibility they got RPSed trying to run the spread against a team that knows it backwards and forwards. There seemed to be a lot of blitzing into places Michigan was trying to run.
So run problems exist. On the other hand, Denard had eons to find people to throw the ball to. Vincent Smith epic blitz pickups had something to do with that, as did Wildcat-fan-infuriating three-man-rushes, but so did the offensive line. So much so that this was a Freudian slip in a thread about the refereeing:
There was .. (Score:1)
also a rushing the passer on Drob that was never called. He was takled for a loss, in the third I believe, and while on the ground was hit by a second defender and then a third. That third defender had enough time to pull up but didn't. No call.
Borges seemed to agree with this blog's petulant complaining about rollouts, which were reduced. Northwestern got negative pressure on pocket passes and the rollouts that were called saw better protection as those edge blockers went hell-bent for the outside instead of hesitating. Michigan's currently first in sacks allowed [tiresome avalanche of caveats]; so it seems that Michigan's best option when it's going to pass is letting Denard sit back and survey. No one is getting near him.
The arm punting bit. Denard did throw three interceptions. This is less than ideal. One of those was a badly inaccurate deep ball into single-ish coverage; the others were WTFs. But the opponent line that Denard is basically a tailback at quarterback…
The long passes were underthrown jump balls that NU didn't win. I am disappointed (but not surprised) that the secondary was not told to look for the ball once the receiver was 25 yards down the field. Throughout the year, most of Denard Robinson's long passes have been underthrows that would be INTs if the defender looked for the ball. … At least 100 of those passing yards were 50/50 jump balls. the pass defense wasn't great, but the defensive scheme in general limited most of Robinson's runs and made him throw. … Denard has receivers that are willing to go up for the jump ball and bring it down (e.g., the Notre Dame win), and until teams can stop that, all Denard has to do is limit his wild throws to the opposition and get the ball into the general area of his receivers.
…has started to grate. Even with the turrible interceptions Denard still completed 65% of his passes for nearly 13 YPA. That is enough for him to far exceed Dan Persa's QB rating last game (177 to 131) when Persa completed 73% of his passes like he always does. And, like, 13 YPA. 48 and 57 yard bombs to Hemingway and Roundtree help, but Robinson being Robinson put those guys in single coverage.
And here's the thing. While the jump ball thing is a fair assessment of some of the deep stuff, remove his two longest completions and Denard still averaged 9.7 YPA. Chop out the two successful bombs—but not the INT or the Gallon overthrow—and Denard averaged almost a first down per passing attempt. Northwestern fans cannot talk crap about him in any fashion. Do terribly unfair things to his passing stats and he still pwns you. Teams with secondaries are another matter, but we are seeing Denard get back to being the fairly accurate guy he was last year.
When allowed to set and step into throws Denard can toss all kinds of stuff. As Borges gets his head around the things he can and cannot do his efficiency should improve, because he's got enough in his legs to compensate for the fact he's not Andrew Luck. Now, about those throws that make all of us want to die…
[Disclaimer: There's a difference between not thinking you can sustain an offense on downfield chucks into double coverage and back-shoulder fades to Jeremy Gallon and thinking a QB averaging 10 YPA even when you mutilate his stats unfairly is not a QB. Thank you for not needing this disclaimer.]
WTFs. I don't know, man. I think one of them was an attempted wheel route that was either badly disrupted or saw the guy fall down; in any case there was a safety right there so that was a very bad read. The other I have no idea. Hypothetically that could have been a massive WR bust, but I doubt it. I will look at these in UFR but I doubt I'll be able to tell much.
Shaw. If Tommy Rees's brain goes "FLOYDFLOYDFLOYDFLOYD" then Michael Shaw's goes "BOUNCEBOUNCEBOUNCEBOUNCE." It worked against a slow-ish Northwestern team cramming the box; kudos to Borges for making that switch.
Roundtree. Welcome back to the offense, kid. Totally thought you were Junior Hemingway on the long one.
Woolfolk. Again pulled for Countess. Obviously injured.
Johnson. Hoo boy, going to come in for some finger-wagging in UFR. His whiff on the Kain Colter TD was spectacular.
The West: open. It was going to be wide open when Nebraska was losing 27-6 to Ohio State, but even with that comeback there the Michigan-Michigan State game has the shape of a division championship game, doesn't it? Whoever wins it will be two clear of their instate rival with the most threatening other teams in the division already carrying losses. The winner of that game could lose once and probably be fine since Iowa is unlikely to sweep M/MSU/Nebraska and Nebraska similarly unlikely to do so against M/MSU/Iowa/PSU/Northwestern.
Michigan State would have a smaller margin of error since their remaining games against the East include an almost certain loss versus Wisconsin; Michigan wins this weekend and they become solid favorites.
Video Bits
As per usual, when I attend road games I usually can't get around to VOAV. Penance:
Postgame interview with the person of particular note:
ST3 goes inside the box score:
After starting slowly in the sack department, we picked up 3 last week and 4 this week, including a decapitation by Kovacs and a Wile E. Coyote style steamrolling by Will Campbell.
After giving up 297 yards in the first half, the defense settled down (and the offense controlled the clock for major stretches) limiting NU to 438 yards total for the game. A tad higher than my goal of 400 per game, but NU does have a good offense, I think everyone would agree. And they would have been held under 400 if the refs called holding penalties. More on that in the ref section, don't neg me yet.
That 438 includes a 79 yard drive at the end of the game when Michigan was up three scores and just bleeding clock. If anything ever convinces you that advance stats are more real than the regular ones, that should be it. On 11 real drives—about an average game's worth—the Wildcats had 359 yards, which is about average. On the meaningless last one the Wildcats piled it on. Advanced stats will dump that last drive.
6-0 starts for Michigan are rare.
Most of my life (33 years) has been spent rooting for a Michigan team that would win most Saturdays, live in the national rankings, and stub their toe early in the season. 4-0 or better starts have only occurred 11 times in those 33 seasons:
4-0: '78 '96 '09
5-0: '85 '95 '99 '10
6-0: '86 '97 '06 '11
The starts to the last three seasons have been a stretch that Michigan fans have not witnessed since the dawn of the Carr era.
A Michigan fan sneaks a UTL coin into the ND lockerroom. Michigan State wallpaper flows like wine: Blue Indy and Monumental provide.
Media, as in files. Melanie Maxwell's gallery for AnnArbor.com. This thing was epic:
We should get a giant inflatable Wolverine head for the players to run out from under, except it should probably be, like, the comic book version, and then to make it even more rad we could shoot off some fireworks during the national anthem and this would make things electric.
Media, as in unwashed blog masses. If you are a true schadenfreude connoisseur, there is a Sippin' on Purple game thread that descends into self-loathing misery. I didn't enjoy it much except for the one post where the person said every time Denard takes off it terrifies them.
TWB on the good and bad. The Hoover Street Rag gets a head start on the MICHIGAN STATE IS THE BEGINNING OR END OF THE WORLD hype, which is deserved. Big House Blog provides cheers and jeers. TTB has bullets. One of them:
Kenny Demens had his best game of the year. Demens hasn't been as productive this year as I expected, but he's still been a solid player. This game was his best, though. He had 10 tackles, including a sack, and did a good job of chasing down wide receivers and crossing routes in space. A lot of middle linebackers (Obi Ezeh, for example) would have been left in the dust or would have missed the tackle on those smaller players, but Demens is so strong that if he gets his hands on someone, that person is going to the ground.
In five of Michigan's nine losses during the 2008 season, the Wolverines were either ahead or tied at the half. But during the subsequent two quarters, Michigan's offense crumbled and the defense wasn't good enough to prop the team up. Throughout the Rodriguez years, exponential in-game decline became a staple of the team's performance
MZone on second half Denard vs first half Denard. MVictors bullets:
Don't you feel like, for the first time in a long while, that Michigan clearly has the advantage in coordinators? While there is room for improvement, it's a blast to see Borges tinker around with Denard and Gardner, and the defense has rattled several quarterbacks this season and has clearly improved. The team seems to get better as the game goes on.
This Week in Unexpected Sentences from Lake The Posts:
the 'Cats two second half TOs and Denard Robinson's unstoppable passing prove too much in blowout win.
Nationally, Holly Anderson on the second-half D:
The story of Northwestern being shut out entirely in the second half is one of repeated, eerily consistent, enormous drive-ending plays by the Michigan defense. A sack and an interception killed the Wildcats' third-quarter drives; a fumble and a sack put paid to their first two fourth-quarter efforts, and the final Northwestern drive barely reached Michigan's red zone before the clock ran out.
Iowan Adam Jacobi has quick hits on the game at CBS.
Media, as in badge-wearers. Fox Sports's resident officiating expert on the Kovacs/Persa decapitating:
Some face mask penalties an official should never miss. This is not one of them. When I watched this play in real time and even after the first replay, I did not think the face mask was grabbed. So many helmets come off, and often it has nothing to do with the face mask being pulled. In this case, however, the last replay indicated that Kovacs did grab the mask with his left hand. The referee, who is behind the quarterback, would never see this, and he is the only official who is watching the quarterback. It was a foul, but not all fouls can be seen. Coach Fitzgerald was penalized for running out on the field to argue, which is absolutely the correct call. You cannot let a coach come as far onto the field as Fitzgerald did to scream at the officials. It makes no difference whether there is a missed call. That cannot be allowed.
That's on point. It's clear on the replay that Kovacs did grab the facemask but you can't expect the official to see that. (Side note: Adding Pereira to their coverage of NFL and college sports was a brilliant move by FOX. He's great at giving an unvarnished take from the referee's perspective. In that same article he bags on the live-ball unsportsmanlike penalty the NCAA just instituted, but he also gives it to you straight when you are being a stupid fanboy.)
Pete Thamel has yet another Denard piece, but okay:
Koger's favorite Robinson story is from when he was a freshman, and he bounded up and down outside a team huddle.
"Put me in coach, I run fast," Robinson said repeatedly.
When Robinson overheard Koger relaying that story Monday, he blushed with embarrassment and tried to plead down some details. But early on, Robinson's need to slow down was obvious.
"I was just thinking about it the other day — man, it's going by too fast for me," he said with a smile. "I don't want to leave."
eeeeeee /passes out
Junior Hemingway had a lime:
"It feels real good," receiver Junior Hemingway said of the six victories.
Let's have a real wool lime.
AnnArbor.com's Kyle Meinke says Michigan answered a lot of questions. True, but I don't think "can Michigan win without Denard Robinson?" was one of them. Tim Rohan on the dichotomy of Denard. Raftery on the receivers. Chengelis on going to EL.

Supporting education of medical entomologists to end malaria for good
From product stewardship through education programs to local communities, to collaboration with higher education establishments, Bayer is investing in research and in increasing awareness and understanding.
According to the World Health Organization the lack of research support is one of the main challenges in eliminating vector borne disease.
The evidence base to support effective vector control is currently limited and vector surveillance remains weak in many countries. In addition, entomological, epidemiological and intervention data are often researched very independently and without linkage. This lack of clear information and evidence makes the decision-making difficult and slows down the development and introduction of new tools, technologies and approaches.
To this end, Bayer provides sponsorship support to a number of MSc students from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) who are undertaking a lab- or field-based project in tropical public health research. In so doing, Bayer supports the development of entomological expertise which is so much needed in endemic countries.
Some examples of projects from of London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine:
A parasitology lab get-together
Testing the mosquitoes' sensitivity to DEET
Lydia Banfield, studying the MSc Control of Infectious Diseases embarked on a project entitled: "Aedes aegypti sensitivity to Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET)*" in North-Eastern Brazil, in the context of a Zika virus outbreak.
*DEET is the most common active ingredient in insect repellent
Katina Somers, studying the MSc Control of Infectious Diseases, embarked on research to develop behavioural change campaigns in the prevention of trachoma.
The project is entitled "Repeat formative research to inform design of behaviour change interventions for 'F' and 'E' of the SAFE* strategy for trachoma elimination during the rainy season in Oromia, Ethiopia".
*SAFE = Surgery, Antibiotic, Facial cleanliness and Environmental clean up

March 13 – FATT – Summit Main
March 16, 2010 Leave a comment
It's the first event for season 2010!! Summit Main!
The forecast is rain, rain, and more rain- oh no! I battled with the emotions of being so excited to getting back on the track and at the same time a bit nervous knowing that it was basically 100% chance of rain all day. I have been out in "partial" rain but this sounded challenging.
I had signed up for the FATT event to be in group 2i- my 1st time for passing anywhere. I was worried that this might be too soon although Kyle encouraged me that I was ready. Well, as it turned out, they had placed me into group 1- then of course I was offended- Ha!
The paddock is very empty today. It's almost hard to believe that there is an event. Little did I know at the time that this was more of blessing to have an empty track.
The 1st session out- a new instructor- I've been spoiled with having someone who knows how I drive and what I am capable of (Uncle Al). My instructor tells me before we go that this is the time to become reacquainted with the track.
At the end I feel like it was "ok" but wondered if this day would be wasted due to the rain. Everyone was being overly cautious, including me. He claps at the end and tells me that I clearing remembered- my line was right on.
Session 2- I am still cautious but starting to quickly feel that I can push more. I'm frustrated that I am still feeling timid. I am very comfortable when I am sliding around the turns on dry road (actually- I love when that happens!) but realize that on this wet road- it is very unpredictable. Yellow flag- someone is off the track and at the fence- bummer for him. Black flag is out- he is cleared, and we are off again- speed is increasing in the rain. Instructor tells me he is working the skid pad in the afternoon and I will have someone new. Ugh- another new instructor. I should welcome this prefer someone who knows my strengths and weaknesses.
Back in the paddock- girlfriend of the guy parked next to me approaches. She asks if I was driving the silver M3- she comments that I was going fast and inquires about how long I've been doing this. Another female interested in getting involved. I encourage her to go for it!
Session 3- Comfort level increases and picking up more speed. The only real comment from my instructor is how much he likes my car. I must be doing well- not much direction that he needed to provide. He tells me at the end that I should be in Group 2 and that he wants me to have yet another instructor who can also sign me over to Group 2 for the next event that I do with FATT. Yay! Finally moving on up!
Session 4- On to instructor # 3 for the day! Geez! Why can't I hang on one guy here- are they that intimidated with my skills?? Haha-(seems to be a common theme ) Again- he is not commenting much on my driving other than telling me that I seem to know what I'm doing, I should be in Group 2, and, oh yeah, he really likes my car (great breaks and tires in the rain)! Thanks Kyle!
So as the day ends- I turn in my "report card" and I am confirmed to finally be in Group 2 for my next FATT event! All in all- I was glad that I chose to drive in the rain; I was able to actually walk away with that driving rush that I had hoped for but will still look forward to the next event of sunny dry weather when I can challenge my track times from last year and continue to move up.
Kyle is out on track this year with his newly modified car- 8 point cage, racing seats, suspension, and tires. Clearly he has the advantage but let's see how well my "skills" can compete as the underdog! We shall see… Go Team NocabRacing!!!

Excerpt from the Diary of St. Faustina:
When we pray, we ought not force the Lord God to give us what we want, but we should rather submit to His holy will (Diary – 1525).
[In case you missed it in the last note :), all of Jesus' words will be bolded in these quotes]
Dear Jesus, I know that St. Faustina once wrote the words "My will" on a page in her Diary and then she crossed them out because she only wanted to do Your will. I am afraid to let go of my will, Lord. I am afraid that I will not be happy if I am not able to do my own will. I am sorry that I try to force You to do my will, Lord. Teach me how to surrender. Take away my fear and help me to be more like St. Faustina.
– Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC
God Bless

The exhibit will debut at a reception on Thursday, August 2 from 4 to 7pm at the Society's headquarters, 50 Gurney Lane, Queensbury. The public is invited to view the display on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm from August 3 to November 30. Donations are most welcome.
Logging at the Bend of the River was made possible through a grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership. The exhibit showcases the important history of logging and papermaking in Warren County and the southern Adirondacks and features the role of some the region's oldest companies, Finch in Glens Falls and International Paper in Ticonderoga (and formerly South Glens Falls). The display depicts how the logging industry influenced the growth, both in population and in the economy, of local communities in the past two centuries. It also highlights the importance of the Hudson River and its "bend" at Glens Falls in creating a natural epicenter for logging and papermaking in the North Country.
The Warren County Historical Society is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to educating about, preserving, and promoting the history and heritage of Warren County and its environs.
For more information, please call the Warren County Historical Society at 518 – 743 – 0734 or visit our website – www.warrencountyhistoricalsociety.org and our Facebook page.

Logging at the Bend of the River will become a reality thanks to a 2017 Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership Local Heritage Grant! We are excited that this grant will allow the Warren County Historical Society to produce a traveling exhibit on logging. Logging has been an important industry in the Adirondacks but it also impacted the southern part of the Adirondacks, including Glens Falls, South Glens Falls and Corinth. This exhibit will emphasize the importance to the local communities and how it influenced the growth, both by population and economically. Logging is still a big business here in the north country, and there are old and new loggers, old and new techniques and old and new companies. One of the oldest companies in Glens Falls is Finch Pryun located on the Hudson River, also International Paper brought a much-needed economic boost to communities like Corinth.
It is amazing to see how the houses of Glens Falls compare to South Glens Falls, one being where the executives lived and the other were the workers lived. How people felt about working for the companies and how the companies felt about their employees. It will be interesting to research how both parties related to the other.
The canal systems and rivers were a vital part of logging and we will be partnering with others to interview some of the canal workers. Interviewing the old timers and some new workers will help see how the canal workers and the loggers worked together.
This grant will allow for interviews of past and present employees and executives, how things were done before and how they are done now. What were the benefits of logging then and now? Was the environment part of the logging ideology in the 1800's?
Exhibit coming in June 2018!

'Scramble for positions at NASS normal'
Jostling not crisis
I don't think that what is happening can be described as a crisis. What is playing out is a normal occurrence in a party. There is a saying that the battle to win elections sometimes may not be as strong as the battle to share positions after victory.
The reason is that in politics, everybody has an interest, groups have their interest, regions have their interest and in an attempt to balance these interests, you have to be careful in allocating positions and this case is particularly very critical because the party is just metamorphosing from the position of an opposition to the leading party at the national level.
It is the first time this is happening so it is a huge responsibility that has fallen on the shoulders of the leaders of the APC.
A lot of people have indicated interest but up till now, there is no in-fighting anywhere. That is why I believe that there is no crisis yet; it is scheming, which is normal in politics for people to represent their constituencies very well.
For instance, we in the South-South believe that we made serious contributions to the emergence of APC. We may not have produced the numbers that other regions were able to bring together, but the people need to realize that the former president is from South-South.
The implication of that is that the pressure here was much higher than the pressure in any other geo-political zone because the president wanted to get the whole of his own zone. So they did everything possible to get that; from Akwa-Ibom down to Edo state, they wanted everything, they did everything humanly possible to get that.
The amount of money that entered the South-South during that election is unprecedented in the history of elections in this zone.
The physical presence of very powerful members of PDP, the power brokers of PDP as well as professionals like media house owners and some other people who had enough power and resources to make sure they deliver the South-South yet in the face of those daunting challenges, we were still able to produce some reasonable results.
Like in Edo state, it would have been difficult if not for the exceptional contributions of the Comrade Governor and the APC members in this state for us to get even 25 per cent for Mr. President, yet we did more than that so we expect that our colleagues in the NASS as well the leaders of our party should consider the peculiar situation of Edo people and people of South-South during that election.
That we manage to produce what we have produced so far is an indication that we are seriously committed and we have made input into the growth of APC that eventually led to where we are today as the leading party in this country.
The same way, the Northeastern people will say they have been badly marginalized under the leadership of the former president because of their commitment to opposition right from time and they equally want to be represented when it comes to sharing of the national offices. Even in the Southeast where you have only one member, they equally want to be considered.
It is the whole of these activities that many think it is crisis, it is not a crisis at all; it is normal, it is what we should expect but my happiness again is that the leadership of our party has clearly shown that there is a departure from what it used to be, they are not ready to dictate to the House but that is not say however that the idea of zoning has been jettisoned. We believe that with proper zoning, we are going to have some sense of balance and that the best candidates in such locations will be given the opportunity to serve.
Expectations from NASS
We expect a national Assembly that has the character of APC as the dominant party because if you look at the former dispensation, you will see that the states where we had APC governments, the level of development is higher than many other states; you see what is happening in Edo State, in Imo State, in Rivers State, in Lagos State and several other states under the APC. You will discover that despite that some of these states don't have as much revenue as some other states, they are still able to bring about serious infrastructure development, very remarkable human capital development. For me that is an indication that there are more progressives in APC than any other party and now that APC has got the opportunity to replicate what they have done at state levels, at the federal level, Nigeria stands a better chance so when it comes to National Assembly, we are looking at a more transparent dispensation, we are looking at lawmaking that places the ordinary Nigerians interest as the central focus, we are looking at a more inclusive approach to lawmaking and we are looking at coming out with legislations that directly address the challenges of our people, legislations that are relevant to national development.
Solving oil industry crisis
Over the years, efforts have been made to sanitize the oil industry. What my personal experience has shown is that sanitizing the oil and gas industry will require strong commitment of the number one citizen of this country. When you say there is mess in the oil industry, it is not just NNPC GMD, or the MD of one subsidiary or another, it is political mess, the mess is in Aso Rock, the thieves are actually in Aso Rock because NNPC management cannot steal and divert money un-noticed, some people give them cover so until we have a government that is ready to free NNPC to operate and ready to sanction anybody in NNPC that misbehaves, it will be difficult for us to clean the oil and gas industry. But the first major step that we can take as a group is the passage of the PIB bill that we are already working on that is why you see that there so much politics about the PIB. I asked this question sometimes ago who actually wants PIB? It is the ordinary Nigerian; the government has not demonstrated much interest in PIB. You start PIB and along the line, you get frustration from left, right and centre because a whole lot of leakages will be blocked.
Reducing cost of governance
I agree that the cost of governance is high. First and foremost, we have a big government. There are too many political appointments all over the country beginning from local government to state government to the federal level. There is need to trim the size of our government. In terms of operation, there is need to think of how to cut the cost of operation and every other cost that is associated with governance. We must play by the rule in this country. But the way to go about it is to look at it professionally and not to base it on speculations.

Many women want to keep their skin looking young and fresh. There are a number of ways that this can be achieved, but it starts with taking care of the skin. The truth is that the less attention someone pays to their skin, the more likely it is that they will have age spots, wrinkles, large pores and black or white heads.
A good regiment of cleaning and daily moisturizing can go a long way towards making someone's skin look beautiful longer. However, at some point age will catch up to everyone and more extreme measures might have to be taken.
Plastic Surgery
While one of the most invasive types of procedures, a face lift or other plastic surgery will provide the longest lasting results. Because the skin is pulled back and tightened, it take a long time for it to loosen up again. Some people see the benefits of a face lift for 10 or more years. The results vary depending on the skin and treatment of that skin prior to the surgery, but it is the longest lasting option.
Botox is one of the most popular wrinkle reducers on the market today. Botox is injected at the site of the wrinkles while the face is in a relaxed state. The Botox freezes the muscles in that area, so that when movement occurs, the wrinkles don't show. It doesn't get rid of wrinkles, is simply hides them for a period of time, usually about 3 months, although some people have longer lasting results.
Botox is widely used and is considered to be very safe. It's non-invasive and is done in spas, in people's homes an in doctor's offices.
Juvéderm is a procedure that injects fillers in to the face. This is an option for women who have lost fat in their face, which causes their wrinkles to be more pronounced. It is often used in conjunction with Botox and like Botox it is very safe and is a quick procedure that can be done in a day. The process can be effective for 4-6 months and results can be seen within a few days of treatment.
If you want to keep your skin looking young and fresh there are many ways to make this happen. Whatever you're considering, visiting a professional for an opinion is always the best choice to ensure your skin receives the best treatment possible.

The new feature is believed to be a brainchild of the US-based company's co-founder and CEO, Jan Koum. WhatsApp is not the first mobile messaging app to feature voice messaging, however, the app maker claims that it offers certain features that differentiates it from the others in terms of usability.
With the updated WhatsApp, a user needs to push and hold to record a message and release to send it. In case the user decides not to send the message, a swipe to the left and the recording is deleted. All this is built into a single tap.
There is also no time limit for recording messages. Also, the volume automatically switches from speaker when held at arm's length to soft when held next to an ear.
The app maker also announced that it now has 300 million global monthly active users, surpassing 20 million monthly active users in four countries: Germany, Spain, Mexico and India.
Now with the introduction of voice messaging feature, the Whatsapp hopes further strengthen its global user base.
Though WhatsApp charges $0.99 from its users after one year, it has never disclosed the percentage of its paid users

MORE than £1.3m worth of fake Apple products have been recovered in the biggest seizure within a council's history.
A phone call six months ago about an overheating charger has led to West Sussex County Council capturing a huge number of Apple chargers, batteries, cables, headphones and adapters.
Its seizure in a warehouse in London came after a resident rang the council's trading standards team after purchasing a charger from a ship in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.
Despite being branded an official Apple product, it was found to be too hot when charging a laptop.
The team carried out a test purchase at the store where it was later confirmed to be a fake – leading the team to stores in Brighton and then a warehouse in Kingston-upon-Thames where the entirety of the fake stock was recovered.
Richard Sargeant, the trading standards' team manager said: 'This operation uncovered the highest value haul of fake products we have ever been involved in. It shows the team's importance.'

My Summer Plan: The Pacific Northwest, biking and a supporting education!
Hello everyone! I am Spoorthi and on July 15th and 16th I intend to bike 204 miles from Seattle to Portland in the STP-2017. It gives me immense pride to train alongside TeamAsha (Asha Biking Team) Seattle, WA with our joint goal to finish STP-2017.
While doing what I love I will be raising money for Asha for Education. I was introduced to Asha during one of my prior summer rides. Asha works to provide basic education to underprivileged children throughout India, I have selected them as my charity so that I can support this cause and raise awareness of Asha's fantastic work.
Biking is my passion – Education is my privilege
Ever since I moved to Seattle all I wanted to do is to bike as many miles and climb as many hills I could in the surreal landscape of the Pacific Northwest. This means I train to build strength and endurance to explore those enchanting viewpoints a hard climb reveals. Biking helps me clear my mind and I feel every mile on the saddle helps me be a better person.
I am blessed with the time and means to pursue this passion. My education affords me these opportunities. Now, I want to share that opportunity with others so they too can pursue their passion.
Help support Asha and my fundraising goal of $500
Please support my efforts and Asha with whatever contribution you can make. Every dollar counts to deliver the opportunity of education to those who need it most. All donations are tax deductible, and the organization is registered with many corporate employers for donation-matching programs. Any contribution you make will help me move one step closer to my goal of contributing to the lives of many children.
Thank You.

A comprehensive Faith Formation Program includes all four components of Faith Formation: Worship, Community, Catholic Teaching and Mission. The Mass, the source and summit of the Christian life, is at the center of all our programs. To complement the Mass, we offer a variety of community building events, classes and age-appropriate mission opportunities each year of formation. Through our offerings, our youth will come to understand the Sacraments, Traditions and Beliefs we profess during the Mass and live in daily life, while they are being formed into disciples of Jesus Christ.
We encourage all parish families to register their school-age children, on a yearly basis, into our Faith Formation Programs if they do not attend a Catholic School. Regular participation in faith formation and enrichment programs help families nurture the graces received at Mass. All Catholic and Public School students are encouraged and invited to participate in our enrichment offerings each year to complement the Faith Formation they receive at their Catholic School or at Immaculate Conception Church.
Our Faith Formation Team is always happy to discuss your family's formation options and answer any questions you may have. We can be reached Monday thru Thursday from 9:00am until 3:30pm at (603)888-0608 or via email using our Faith Formation Office Contact Form.

Last week polenta with roasted brussels sprouts was on the menu, an easy and delicious meal! Recipe courtesy of Veggie Belly, I basically did all she did with some tiny variations like adding some gorgonzola to my polenta and adding some more garlic cloves and slicing them because I love garlic. As I still had a lot of brussels sprouts left, I made soup with them the day after, recipe from my vegetarian basics cookbook. Really yummy! Both recipes serve about 3 to 4 people depending on how hungry they are.
Polenta with Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients for Polenta
250 ml water
350ml milk
170 gr polenta
grated parmesan cheese
Usually there are instructions on the package but here you go: boil the water and milk with some salt and when it starts to boil, stir in the polenta (best done with a whisk), whisk until it's all mixed. Let the polenta cook on medium heat until it's cooked, stir every 10 minutes. When it's done add the butter and cheese. It's best to use a large pan because polenta tends to splutter while cooking.
Ingredients for Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
12 brussels sprouts.
3/4 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
clove of garlic, peeled
thyme sprigs (I didn't have sprigs at hand so I used minced thyme)
black pepper
Pre heat oven to 190C and clean your brussels sprouts. Once done, cut them in half length-wise. Place them in a bowl with all your other ingredients, toss them and then spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're all in a single layer. Bake until they are browned (about 20 minutes) and half way through toss them.
Brussels Sprouts Soup with Barley
500 gram brussels sprouts1,5 l vegetable stock
1 large onion
100 gr barley
1/4 lemon (I didn't have one so I used some lemon juice instead)
3 tablespoons butter or oil
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
parsley (I don't like parsley so I used chives instead because I had them)
75 gr cream (or more if you like)
3 tablespoons pine nuts
Chop the onion, wash the lemon and cut off the rind, wash the parsley and chop in little pieces. Saute the onion with the lemon rind and parsley for a couple of minutes in butter or oil. Add the barley and cumin, stir everything together and then add the vegetable stock. Cover the pan half and let it simmer for 30 minutes on low heat. Add the brussels sprouts (cleaned and cut as small or large as you like them) and cream, stirring everything together. Let the soup simmer until the brussels sprouts are done (about 15 minutes). Taste the soup with salt and pepper. Before serving, heat up some more butter or oil and roast your pine nuts. Serve the soup with the roasted pine nuts, some parsley to garnish and bread if you like. I also added some gorgonzola to my soup which was perfect.

One of my favourite traditional blocks is Churn Dash, so with the fabric left over from the Turning Twenty what better then a small Churn Dash quilt.
I had several pieces of Fairy Frost in shades of cream which I felt showed the block up nice just enough for a small quilt.
Of we went Fudge and I stitch stich sew sew.. trim this join the rows together and whoop dee doo all done..add a border or two and its ready for quilting….well…..there was something about it that was not right…the pattern did not do for me what I wanted it to ….
so i unpicked the rows and sashed them with a narrow brown sashing…much better…I am about half way thru the quilting…very traditional quilting outlining the cream pieces to make the Churn Dash stand out.
On two corners I have reversed the border and used the floral fabric I will embellish these corners when the quilting is finished.

Snapchat's latest update hasn't gone down very well with its users.
On Wednesday the app rolled out a brand new update that completely changes the layout.
The Stories section has been removed from the right hand side of the app under the new update, instead merging with the personal content and snaps to the left.
It means the Discover section over on the right is now purely a mix of popular and promoted content.
The combination of stories and personal content hasn't gone down too well with its users, who've panned the update as "horrendous".
Here's some of the feedback:

Study Abroad Courtesy of the Associated Students
Some people say the world itself is the greatest of all teachers.
While most of us would agree that a chance to travel the world in all its educational glory sounds great, receiving school credit makes the opportunity so much more satisfying; and what's more, going on the school dime. Yes, the study abroad programs
here on campus are without a doubt an
amazing opportunity for students, but with rumors of the Associated Students withholding funds, is this scenario perhaps on its way towards becoming a short-lived dream? Not quite.
Last summer the study abroad program took students to Latin America and South Africa. These trips truly raised the bar and created even more interest for a program already
popular beyond measure. The trips had an average of 30 students each.
One of the students who participated in this round of study abroad travels was LeeAnna Bowman-Carpio. "It was truly amazing, and one of the most spectacular programs we have
on campus," said Bowman-Carpio who loved the program so much that she is creating a presentation to show students later this month about the benefits of study abroad, and to inform them about the financial options that are available, though many students are unaware of them.
This financial aid is crucial since
the costs of these trips can reach well
into $5,000. The costs include a roundtrip
plane ticket, a list of meals, hotel
accommodations, transportation, tips to tour guides and museum tickets depending on the trip. The fee does not include the tuition fees, textbooks, meals, personal expenses, passport fees and a two hundred dollar tax.
When you consider the $5,000 already being spent, and the "not included in the price list" which reaches well over $1,000, it's pretty obvious only the most privileged of
SMC students would under normal
circumstances be able to afford this
Of course the program directors have taken some steps that vary the cost of the trip.
For example, on the summer Italy trip students have an option of what type of room they would like to stay at. They can either share a student apartment, or have their own
hotel room. However, when you are talking about money in the thousands, an extra hundred dollars isn't exactly a deal breaker.
There is a controversy involving the financial-aid issues. Since the majority
of the money for these financial aid packages is donated by the Associated Students, there are stipulations involved with this donation.
Last November, the Associated Students
allocated $66,825 for the financial aid of SMC students who attended the Latin America and South Africa programs. Approximately $38,000 of this fund was not used because the
spring program was canceled.
However, there are already two study abroad programs set up for this summer. One is a trip to London and Paris, and the other is the aforementioned Italy trip. Both of
which generally run through all of July. The program would like to use the left over $38,000 for financial aid for the students.
This has created a minor spark, since the
Associated Students have not seen the stipulations assigned to the winter programs followed. The stipulation was to promote the Associated Students, give them some credit for the journey and a written report from
the students involved to give the Associated Students an idea of where there money was going.
All parties involved have admitted that this was clearly a lack of communication and
that there was no mischief involved. Those involved in the study abroad programs are rightfully grateful to the Associated Students. "There are not many student governments that give out the money they give us," said archeology professor Brandon
Lewis who is one the key members of maintaining the program.
With the Associated Students seemingly en-route to approve the remaining $38,000 for financial aid for summer programs, and a campus already filled with buzz in regards to
the upcoming trips it looks like clear
weather for travelers of the study abroad program.

Margaret Court
One of Australia's best sportswomen, one of Australia's shittest persons, Margaret Court has been a happy-clapper born-again Christian who believes the Bible to be literally true in every sense for many decades now. So of course she doesn't like gay people. What they do is nothing more than a "lust of the flesh" and that there is a gay minority who are "after our young ones."
(It's pretty ironic for a Fundamentalist Christian to be lecturing on the issue of taking away young people.)
Anyway, Court is like that wacky Nanna at a family BBQ who says some weird shit, usually racist (like when Court said South Africa's apartheid was good) and everyone rolls their eyes. She's been saying this stuff for years, but now that most people view LGBTIQ people as actual human beings they tend to get pissed off when someone says gay people are the devil.
Oh, tennis is also "full of lesbians" and we can't have that.
Seriously, Christians way too often forget about the dude after which their religion is named.

Long-awaited Village Pizza open for business in C'ville
Housed in a 6,100-square-foot freestanding building that can seat nearly 200 patrons, the new Village Pizza isn't like most pizza places in town — or any other business nearby, for that matter.
The newly constructed log cabin-style restaurant standing prominently along the business-challenged Route 25 corridor on the village's east side opened its doors in recent weeks to the excitement of many area residents.
But it's no newcomer. For more than three decades, the family-owned restaurant has been a favorite of area residents who commonly proclaim it the best pizza around.
Housed in the adjacent strip mall from 1978 to 2009, Village Pizza has drawn in softball teams, families, and other patrons who say they come for a welcoming rustic atmosphere and friendly service.
The new place feels uncannily like the old, many claim, since nearly the entire original decor was used from the former restaurant next door.
Even with recycling the decor, the venture still cost Village Pizza owners Marcie and Mike Sarillo a cool million, they say.

Alice Collins-Trevanion
Dawn Steele as Alice Collins-Trevanion
38 Episodes
First episode
Series 4 Episode 3
Last episode
Series 7 Episode 11
Charlotte Collins-Trevanion (daughter)
Danny Trevanion (husband)
Unamed (son)
No information
Alice Collins-Trevanion is the wife of Danny Trevanion. She has a daughter named Charlotte Collins-Travanion. She is a vet at Leopard's Den and is currently pregnant with her second born. Alice is very serious and a great vet. She came to Leopard's Den when there was a rabies outbreak in series 4. At first she and Danny did not see eye to eye but as time passed they began to get on much better.
It is later revealed that Alice, who originally comes from Glasgow, Scotland, left home after her father found out about her relationship with a married man- we presume this is where Charlotte came from. Her father said he never wanted to see her again and she moved to Africa with Charlotte, who was presumably under three, since she can't remember life before Africa.
Alice struggles to trust people, she has moved around constantly, frightened to commit to anywhere or anyone in-case she is hurt by them like she was by her father, and by Terry Green, who turned up only a few episodes after Alice and Charlotte came to Leopard's Den.
She wouldn't go with him, and has never left Leopard's Den since. When Olivia re-joined the family in series 5 she didn't take well to Alice, believing she was a replacment for her mother. The pair eventually got along much better.
When, during series 6, Alice discovered she was pregnant she kept it from her famiy at first until Du Plessis discovered it. She was again frightnened things would go badly and wasn't sure she was ready to have the baby. At the end of series 6 the whole female body of the family went to stay in England with Caroline's sister Georgina until a new home was found for the family.
Alice returned at the beginning of series 7 to discover Danny and Du Plessis had been lying about their current jobs among other things. By the end of the first series it was announced her brother Rowan had been involved in a car crash and while the rest of the family returned to Africa she stayed to look after her brother and will remain there until after the baby is born.


text: Implicit processing of somatosensory stimuli disclosed by a perceptual after-effectMaravita, Angelo1NeuroReport: May 6th, 1997 - Volume 8 - Issue 7 - p 1671–1674 Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology Abstract Author InformationAuthors A right-brain damaged patient (GR) showing tactile extinction, neglect and no hypesthesia, was asked to compare, in 30 trials, the size of two spheres of different size simultaneously put into each hand. Accuracy was poor because GR was unable to feel the sphere in his left hand and could only report the size of the right sphere. GR was then asked to compare two spheres of identical size: although again unable to perceive the left sphere he was deceived by a perceptual after-effect also observed in normal subjects, and reported incorrectly the size of the right sphere. The left sphere although unperceived, influenced the perception of the right hand, thus giving the first evidence for an implicit processing of extinguished somatosensory information. 1Dipartimento di Scienze Neurologiche e della Visione, Sezione di Fisiologia Umana, Università di Verona, Strada Le Grazie 8, 37134 Verona, Italy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The author would like to thank Salvatore Aglioti and Anna Berti for their helpful comments on the data presented in this paper.

...that was super cute for Valentines Day, but it's time for it to go away until next year.
While I was browsing the isles of one of my favorite stores, the Dollar Tree, I decided to try to make a version of the cute wreaths I've seen popping up on other blogs. I bought the supplies and was out $3.23 poorer. I started with a styrofoam floral wreath, a ball of twine, and a bundle of silk dahlia bush flowers... A couple (ok, several) hot glue gun dots and about 45 minutes later I have a new front door decor!
However, the more I looked at it though, the more I felt like it just needed something else. I used some of the twine left over and spiraled it and hot glued it to the center of the flower.
