- Luis Kutner and the development of the advance directive (living will) (2009)
- It is well known that Luis Kutner (1908-1993) played an important role in the development of the living will (advance directive, Patientenverfügung). But it is not clear when he developed his concept. We have screened the Luis Kutner Papers,deposited at the Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford University to answer this question. We found out that in the second half of 1967, Kutner dealt intensively with the issue of euthanasia. On December 7, 1967, he delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the Euthanasia Society in New York and presented the concept of the living will to the audience. So Kutner surely was a pioneer in this field, but further research is necessary to clarify, if he (or maybe Elsa W. Simon or Abraham L. Wolbarst) was the "originator" of the living will concept in the sense of passive euthanasia.
- A grammar of Pite Saami (2014)
- Pite Saami is a highly endangered Western Saami language in the Uralic language family currently spoken by a few individuals in Swedish Lapland. This grammar is the first extensive book-length treatment of a Saami language written in English. While focussing on the morphophonology of the main word classes nouns, adjectives and verbs, it also deals with other linguistic structures such as prosody, phonology, phrase types and clauses. Furthermore, it provides an introduction to the language and its speakers, and an outline of a preliminary Pite Saami orthography. An extensive annotated spoken-language corpus collected over the course of five years forms the empirical foundation for this description, and each example includes a specific reference to the corpus in order to facilitate verification of claims made on the data. Descriptions are presented for a general linguistics audience and without attempting to support a specific theoretical approach, but this book should be equally useful for scholars of Uralic linguistics, typologists, and even learners of Pite Saami.
- A Catalog of Scolytidae and Platypodidae (Coleoptera), Supplement 3 (2000-2010), with notes on subfamily and tribal reclassifications (2014)
- A third Supplement to the 1992 Catalog of the Scolytidae and Platypodidae (Coleoptera) of the World (Wood and Bright 1992) is presented. This Supplement updates the taxonomy, distribution, and biology pertaining to these families of Coleoptera from 2000 to the end of 2010. A few 2011 taxonomic references are included in order to make the nomenclature as current as possible. The format of this Supplement differs slightly from the format of the original 1992 Catalog and the two previous Supplements. Only references relating to general biology, systematics and distribution were selected to be included. Tribal arrangement follows the scheme established in the 1992 World Catalog, with additions. Each genus is listed alphabetically under the current tribe and the species are listed alphabetically under the current genus. Additional information on figures, distribution, hosts, and references relating to the above are given. The bibliography used with this Supplement lists 580 references, most published from 2000 to the end of 2010. New synonymy proposed: Phloeotribus carinatus Burgos and Equihua, 2003 (= Phloeotribus ebeneus Wood, 2007). New combinations proposed: Phloeosinus kinabaluensis Bright to Hyledius; Phloeosinus phyllocladus Bright to Hyledius. An argument is made for the retention of the family status of the Scolytidae and Platypodidae as members of the superfamily Curculionoidea. A new subfamily and tribal arrangement is proposed: SCOLYTIDAE comprising 13 subfamilies, Hylesininae, with 12 tribes, Hyorrhynchinae, with one tribe; Scolytinae, with one tribe; Hexacolinae, with one tribe; Cylindrobrotinae, with one tribe; Scolytoplatypodinae, with one tribe; Cactopininae, with one tribe; Carphodicticinae, with one tribe; Micracidinae, with one tribe; Crypturginae, with one tribe; Ipinae, with six tribes; Cryphalinae, with one tribe and Corthylinae, with two tribes and PLATYPODIDAE comprising three subfamilies, Coptonotinae, with three tribes; Tesserocerinae, with two tribes and Platypodinae, with one tribe.
- On the Afrotropical genus Holmelgonia (Araneae, Linyphiidae), with the description of three new species from the Albertine Rift (2014)
- Three new species of Holmelgonia were found in the mountain forest of Kibira National Park in Burundi: H. afromontana sp. nov. (♂♀), H. bosnasutus sp. nov. (♂♀) and H. disconveniens sp. nov. (♂). A key to the males in the genus, now containing 17 species, is provided.
- Comparing London and Frankfurt as world cities : a relational study of contemporary urban change (2001)
- The report examines changing relations between London and Frankfurt with the introduction of a single European currency and the decision to locate the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. Based on interviews with key personnel in global financial and business service firms and institutions in both cities, the findings support a network model of inter-city relations, which, the authors contend, is more appropriate than the simplistic competition model that dominates public discussion.
- A taxonomic review of the genus Asterostegus (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea), with the description of a new species (2014)
- A revision of the genus Asterostegus Mortensen, 1933 (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea: Euryalidae) is based on seven specimens, including the holotype of Asterostegus maini McKnight, 2003. A new species, Asterostegus sabineae sp. nov., is described from off Reunion Island and two other species, A. tuberculatus Mortensen, 1933 and A. maini, are redescribed. A tabular key to the three species of the genus Asterostegus is provided. Some terminology of the taxonomy of euryalid ophiuroids is revised.
- A catalogue of the types of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae) at the Natural History Museum, London (2014)

- New Baltic amber leafhoppers representing the oldest Aphrodinae and Megophthalminae (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) (2014)
- Three fossil leafhopper inclusions from Eocene Baltic amber, representing three new extinct genera and species, are described and illustrated. Eomegophthalmus lithuaniensis gen. et sp. nov. is tentatively placed in Megophthalminae, although it may represent the stem group from which Megophthalminae, Ulopinae, and Membracidae arose. Xestocephalites balticus gen. et sp. nov. and Brevaphrodella nigra gen. et sp. nov. are placed in Aphrodinae: Xestocephalini based on the structure of the head, leg chaetotaxy, and male genital capsule. These new genera and species represent the oldest known representatives of their respective subfamilies and the latter is the oldest known brachypterous adult leafhopper.
- Updated checklist of marine fishes (Chordata: Craniata) from Portugal and the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf (2014)
- The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences. It comprises a total of 1191 species, distributed among 3 superclasses, 4 classes, 42 orders, 212 families and 617 genera. If considering only the EEZ and present territorial waters, this list represents an increase of 230 species (27.8%) and of 238 species (29.0%), when compared to the information available in FishBase (2012) and in the last checklist of marine and estuarine fishes of Portugal (1993), respectively. The order Perciformes shows the highest diversity, with 54 families, 162 genera and 299 species. Stomiidae (80 species), Myctophidae (71 species) and Macrouridae (37 species) are the richest families. From the listed species, 734 are present off mainland Portugal, 857 off the Azores and 766 off Madeira. Within the limits of the examined area, three species are reported for the first time in mainland Portugal and twenty-nine records are identified as doubtful. A total of 133 species have been recorded from the extended Portuguese continental shelf (2 off mainland Portugal, 117 off the Azores and 14 off Madeira), two of which are common to the Azores and Madeira extensions. Biogeographically, the Atlantic group is the most important (548 species – 46.01%), followed by the Lusitanian group (256 species – 21.49%), the African group (71 species – 5.96%), the Boreal group (34 species – 2.85%), the Mediterranean group (31 species – 2.60%), the Macaronesian group (21 species – 1.76%), the Atlantic/African group (19 species – 1.60%) and the Mediterranean/African and the Arctic groups, each with only 1 species (0.08%). Regarding the preferences for vertical habitat, the demersal fishes are the most important group (305 species – 25.61%), followed by the mesopelagic group (228 species – 19.14%), the bathypelagic group (164 species – 13.77%), the benthopelagic group (147 species – 12.34%), the bathydemersal group (115 species – 9.66%), the reef-associated group (88 species – 7.39%), the pelagic group (74 European Journal of Taxonomy 73: 1-73 (2014) 2 species – 6.21%), the epipelagic group (58 species – 4.87%) and 1 species (0.08%) of the benthic group. The oceanic habitat is the best represented group comprising 446 species (37.45%), followed by the shelf group (199 species – 16.71%), the slope group (164 species – 13.77%), the inner shelf group (89 species – 7.47%), the coastal group (70 species – 5.88%), the outer shelf group (29 species – 2.43%) and the oceanic/shelf group (7 species – 0.59%).
- An inquiline deep-water bryozoan/amphipod association from New Zealand, including the description of a new genus and species of Chevaliidae (2014)
- For the first time Amphipoda have been discovered living in Bryozoa. A new genus and species of the amphipod family Chevaliidae, Bryoconversor tutus gen. et sp. nov. is described from New Zealand at depths of 530–1500 m. The species lives in an inquiline relationship with the cheilostome bryozoan Onchoporoides moseleyi (Calwelliidae), inhabiting an abfrontal basal coelom of the bryozoan beneath the membranous ectocyst (cuticularized epithelium) that conceals and protects the amphipods. The colony is strengthened along all edges by a unique intracoelomic rod of calcium carbonate that is formed within the marginal kenozooids of the colony. The potential benefits and costs to the bryozoan are discussed.

The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, better known by its abbreviated title The Hobbit, is a children's book written by J. R. R. Tolkien and first published in 1937. It received wide critical acclaim and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and awarded a prize from the New York Herald Tribune for best juvenile fiction. It is one of the most popular children's books of all time. On December 14th this beloved book will come alive on the enormous IMAX Palisades screen at the Palisades Center.
To celebrate this milestone in cinema history, the IMAX Theatre at Palisades Center will host a family event on Wednesday, December 19th at 6:00pm co-sponsored by NYMetroParents. All are encouraged to attend in costume. The event will be a fundraiser for the Nanuet Family Resource Center. A delightful basket of Hobbit themed prizes donated from Barnes & Noble at the Palisades Mall and other Hobbit related merchandise will be raffled to benefit the Family Resource Center.
Everyone who attends will receive hot chocolate gift certificates from Barnes & Noble. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased on line at www.imax.com/palisades.
The Hobbit follows the quest of home-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins who is determined to secure his share of treasure guarded by Smaug, the Dragon. Personal growth and forms of heroism are central themes. The sequel to The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, has already been turned into a series of movies and The Hobbit will actually be told in a series of three movies, An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Desolation of Smaug (2013) and There and Back Again (2014).
The series will act as a prequel trilogy to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy and will star Ian McKellen, reprising his role as Gandalf, Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug. Several other actors will reprise their roles from The Lord of the Rings, including Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Elijah Wood, and Orlando Bloom

Yep, that was George Regas in that photo — the man in the purple ecclesiastical robe and handcuffs. The rector emeritus of All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena chose to get busted this month outside the downtown federal building protesting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A few days earlier, scores of mostly conservative ministers across the country had deliberately defied the IRS ban on candidate endorsements by tax-exempt churches. Regas had tripped that wire inadvertently seven years ago, with a sermon that caught the IRS' ear and could have cost All Saints its tax exemption. He's retired from the pulpit, but time has not staled nor circumstance withered Regas' appetite for engagement.
Some pastors are purposely defying the IRS law, evidently to generate a court challenge. You did it accidentally, on the eve of the 2004 election, with your sermon, "If Jesus Debated Sen. Kerry and President Bush."
So was it a searing indictment of the war?
It was a blazing indictment of how the war was being executed by the president, but it also had things to say about Kerry. Eventually [the IRS] said the church would retain its tax-exempt status [even though it] judged the sermon a violation of the law.
Has a church ever lost its tax exemption?
One [in Binghamton, N.Y.] that put an ad in some papers saying [Bill] Clinton supports abortion and calling on everyone who calls themselves Christian to defeat Clinton. [The church also cited Clinton's positions on homosexuality and condom distribution, and invited tax-exempt donations for the ad.]
Free speech is a right, but a tax exemption is a privilege. Where do you come down?
I'm totally against religious communities endorsing political candidates. That leads to the politicization of religion, and that is not healthy for the country. So I've always said we cannot endorse political candidates. It's foolish to think God's in the pocket of [any] party.
It is unhealthy and unwise for religious communities to endorse political candidates, but it is legitimate to make judgments of political activities. I've tried to live with that tension all my years. I was a huge critic of Clinton's [reduction] of welfare. I'm a huge critic of Obama and the war. I have really abided by trying to take a moral position on important issues that affect Americans, affect the world.
The law says you can support [issues]; you can enter into that arena. You are allowed to support abortion or condemn abortion, [but] you're not allowed to say, "I am for John Doe because he supports my position on abortion.''
Would your clerical colleagues like the line to be clearer, or do they prefer some fuzziness?
The colleagues I work with would want that clear distinction. The people more in the religious-right camp see more legitimacy of a clearer tie of one's faith to one's support of a candi-date.
Is that dangerous?
It's dangerous when we bring religion into supporting candidates rather than into the analysis of certain political positions.
Churches seemed to be doing fine before this tax-exemption law in 1954.
Down deep, I really question the church having a tax exemption. And yet the charitable world is [now] built on the assumption that money will be received because of that exemption. To talk about doing away with it is a radical, radical posture. The exemption law is there because religious institutions are an enrichment to the community.
Isn't the exemption an advantage?
We spent a lot of money at All Saints fighting [the attempt to revoke the exemption] because it was a huge advantage for the welfare of the church. It wouldn't be honest to say it made no difference — financially, it did. But also philosophically it made a difference to say [by ending the exemption] that religious communities no longer are seen as enrichments.
Patt Morrison Asks: George Regas, keeping faith
His church, All Saints Episcopal in Pasadena, came under IRS scrutiny seven years ago after he delivered a sermon on the Iraq war.

A recent appearance on NBC's "The Voice", a competitive singing show where contestants are trained by celebrity judges, is just the latest development in a long and multi-faceted musical career for Nicholas David Mrozinski.
Mrozinski, who grew up in Eagan and attended Eagan High School, made it past the first round of "The Voice", and will be working with judge and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Cee Lo Green.
Mrozinski, who went by the stage name "Nicholas David" during The Voice auditions, took up the piano when he was 9-years-old. A regular in the Twin Cities music scene, he has performed at First Avenue, the Pantages Theatre and Cabooze, as well as Ansari's Mediterranean Grill in Eagan and a variety of local pubs.
Over his career as a musician, he has produced five albums, with the latest released in 2011. He's currently working on a sixth album, according to a biography posted to his Facebook page.
Mrozinski's enthusiastic approach to performing earned him the nickname "The Feelin" among his fans, according to a video documentary on the artist.
"His name, because he sings with so much soul, people say that. And because of the band," said Jackson Eddy, Mrozinski's manager, who was interviewed in the documentary.

Neurotransmitter Transporter Uptake Assay Kit
Fluorescence-based assay for the detection of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine transporter (SERT, NET and DAT, respectively) activity in expressing cells, transfected or primary
Neurotransmitter transporters play a key role in depression and neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The ability to monitor serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine neurotransmitter uptake is key to a better understanding of these diseases.
Until recently, radioactively labeled compounds were used to measure serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine transporter uptake. With the introduction of the Neurotransmitter Transporter Uptake Assay Kit, researchers now have a tool to screen for live-cell kinetic uptake for these three key neurotransmitters.
Key Benefits
- Homogeneous, live-cell fluorescent assay replaces radioactive assays, reducing disposal costs and eliminating safety risks associated with radiolabeled assays
- One-step, homogeneous assay format is amenable to automation and high-throughput screening
- Two assay setup options offer greater flexibility: endpoint mode for high-throughput applications, or real-time kinetic mode for mechanistic studies
Patented Technology
This assay utilizes a Molecular Devices masking dye to extinguish extracellular fluorescence. This masking dye technology has been exclusively licensed from Bayer AG (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,420,183, 7,063,952, 7,138,280 and European Patent No. 0,906,572). The assay also includes a novel proprietary fluorescent indicator dye that mimics the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, and is actively transported into the cells via the neurotransmitter transporters.

Wednesday, July 21, 2004
© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Ed BrockIncumbent Clayton County Probate Judge Pamela Ferguson successfully defended the seat she won just about nine months ago in a special election. Ferguson, 40, was elected in October 2003 to replace retiring Judge Eugene Lawson. She defeated opponent attorney Bobby Simmons 16,408 votes to 8,786 with all precincts reporting except for absentee and early voting results. "I just want to thank everybody," Ferguson said. "I'll continue to serve as probate court. I'll get back to revising the pamphlets and the computer system and doing the things that need to be done in probate court." Since her election Ferguson has joined several committees with other probate judges, such as a committee to revise the state forms used in the probate court. She has also initiated a new computer system to track the court's requests for vital records (birth and death certificates), a system that determines who is being served and how long it is taking. She's also networked some computers in the court to make them more efficient and she has revised some of the court's information pamphlets to make them easier to understand. Ferguson, who has practiced law for the past 14 years in Jonesboro, grew up in the legal system, working with her father, Monroe Ferguson, who has been an attorney for 37 years. She is a certified mediator and a certified arbitrator. After long-time Probate Judge Eugene Lawson announced his retirement last year, Ferguson faced three opponents in the special election. She won the seat in a run-off election. Simmons was one of the four candidates for the seat but got knocked out in the first race. Ferguson attended Clayton State College and transferred to the University of Georgia, where she graduated with a BA degree in 1986. Later she earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia in 1989 and was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in June of 1989. Simmons, 49, has lived in the Hampton area for three years and practiced in Forest Park since 1990. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Arkansas (his home state) and got his law degree from the Mississippi College of Law.

RALEIGH — For Eric Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes, the time is drawing nigh, the clock ticking loudly.
On Dec. 30, Team Canada will announce its long-awaited and much-discussed player selections for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. For Staal, that means only a few more games to make his case - on the ice - for being one of those chosen to represent his country and play for the gold.
Staal's first priority is winning games for the Hurricanes. But the three home games this week, beginning with tonight's matchup against the New York Rangers, offer the opportunity to add to the Canes' three-game winning streak at the RBC Center and perhaps to secure that coveted Olympic roster spot.
"It's been pushing me since the summer," Staal said of his Olympic quest. "But I don't know if it's adding more [motivation]. We're just trying to win games here, and that's my main focus."
Since returning from an injury to his abdominal area that hampered him early in the season and then sidelined him for 10 games, Staal has produced more than a point per game - 14 in 12 games. His strong stride is back. The heavy shot. The playmaking. The presence on the ice.
Staal said he never believed his slow start and the games missed had ruined his Olympic hopes.
"I didn't feel at all that I was out of it," he said. "Obviously I was hoping to get back as soon as I could from the injury and then hopefully play well from there.
"I feel like since I've come back I've started to play a lot better in my game and the way I need to play to help this team. I think if I keep playing well these last bunch of games I'll have a good chance of being in the mix for the team."
Steve Yzerman, Team Canada's executive director, flew in to scout Staal in the Hurricanes' Dec. 5 game against the Vancouver Canucks. Staal produced two assists and linemate Erik Cole had a hat trick in a 5-3 victory at the RBC Center.
Staal said he didn't speak with Yzerman but was aware he was in the building.
Staal's versatility should help. A natural center, he saw time on the wing at the Team Canada orientation camp in Calgary in late August - where he first suffered a lower-body injury that later worsened - and could be used as a winger given the glut of available centers.
"Wherever they find they can fit me in, I'll be happy to play," Staal said. "I think you have to assemble the best team you can to win a gold medal, and hopefully I'm in that mix."
Staal, 25, was a nonplaying reserve on Canada's disappointing 2006 Olympic team that failed to win a medal at Torino, Italy. Until his injury this season, he has been considered a virtual lock to make the 2010 team.
Canes goaltender Cam Ward also attended the orientation camp and hopes to be chosen, but he said the leg laceration that knocked him out of 13 games "didn't help me at all." Ward insisted he must "play with a belief I've still got a chance" but realizes he could be nudged out of a spot.
Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice said it may be Staal's competitiveness in the defensive zone that could be the difference.
"It may be crunch time for evaluation, but he's able to mentally control his game and not think, 'I've got to score six tonight,' " Maurice said. "Because I don't think that's what they're looking for with him anyway. There will be enough offense on that team.
"The question is how many guys can mentally compete defensively if it's 2-2 against a highly skilled opponent. Can you cut him down when he's in your end?"
Staal, who has three goals and 11 assists in his past 12 games, said he tried to stay away from the Internet and all the Team Canada musings and guesstimates. The Canadian media, he joked, picks its team "probably 400 times" before the official announcement.
"Some of those teams you're on and not on some others," he said, grinning again. "Obviously, the main guy who will make the call will be Steve Yzerman."
A call Staal's still hoping to receive come Dec. 30.
Note: The Canes on Sunday reassigned defenseman Bryan Rodney to the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League. Recalled Dec. 15, Rodney had three assists in three games.

Tuesday Presser Transcript 9-3-13: Al Borges
Opening remarks:
"Wait, I just looked at Mattison. He had about three or four of these [tape recorders] here. Can somebody explain that to me? I get up here and [omg there are so many.]"
You talk softly. Honestly.
"I don't understand."
Speak up.
"Speak up!? I've never had anybody tell me that was a problem."
What did you like from the first game?
"Well, we had some very nice plays. We ran some plays that were executed very very well. We had a reverse that was done pretty well. We had a couple play-action passes that were nicely done. We had some outside zone plays that got the corner nice, and we [were able to make] one-cut and run. I think those things were good. The biggest issues were interceptions. That's got to go away, because that's going to come back and haunt you, and then we had some penalties. Most of them were from first time players. Not all of them, but some of them were first-time players. We had a false start. We had a premature snap one time. So, you know, I hope that's first game stuff. It'll go away as we play more."
How does Drake Johnson's injury change the running back position?
"Well it's just one less guy. He was the first guy up after Fitz [Toussaint]. He was playing well and he was really learning our offense from the perspective of protection. He was a guy that was able to do some of the things Fitz could do, [Thomas] Rawls could do, guys that have been in our system for a while. So that hurts. That hurts. He's a good player who's going to become a better player as he plays more. Hurts our depth and we lose a guy that's not only a good offensive player but a good special teams player, too."

1. Is Michigan about to be on the wrong side of history?
When Rich Rodriguez was hired at Michigan, Gary Danielson infamously predicted Michigan would be the last major program to move to a spread offense. Five years later, Michigan is shedding the spread as the NFL adopts it en masse. I am a spread zealot, no foolies, and while I may be influenced by factors like…
- Associating pro-style offenses with Mike DeBord, "the expectation is for the position," and opponents saying they knew exactly what was coming game after game.
- Psychic scarring from things like Donovan McNabb, Carlyle Holiday, The Horror, The Post-Apocalyptic Oregon Game, Northwestern 2001, and even Braylonfest.
- Denard Robinson!
…I've also watched an awful lot of football over the past eight years and there seems to be no substitute for the defense-wrecking ability to run with a guy who can throw, and give him the ability to make that decision after the defense commits.
'bout to get yards'd
These days the thing that's all the rage is packaged plays that give the quarterback the ability to pick from a number of simple options based on the alignment of a couple players, and not just on the college level: Doug Marrone and company got scooped back up by the NFL largely because they ditched a complicated pro-style offense for quick decisions that make the defense wrong every time. Tavon Austin is a 5'8" wide receiver who went 8th overall in the NFL draft. The Great Satan in Columbus has Denard but tall at quarterback.
Meanwhile, the idea that Michigan needs to run a rough-and-tumble offense to cope with the rough-and-tumble Big Ten is total horseshit. If you haven't noticed, the Big Ten sucks at football, Michigan is recruiting a billion times better than anyone except Ohio State, and Ohio State is a spread option team. If we accept the fact that you have to run power to defend power, isn't the corollary there you have to run the spread to defend the spread? Clueless spread outing after clueless spread outing through Carr's career certainly suggests that. I mean, Michigan was fortunate to escape a home game against Northwestern last year because they gave up 248 rushing yards and 10 YPA.
Add in Michigan's stubborn adherence to the increasingly archaic huddle and it does seem like there's a little bit of dinosaur in the program even if Brady Hoke is hip to Romer. Arguments in favor of the huddle include feelingsball arguments like "it helps your quarterback be a leader"; arguments against include Nebraska lining up with 25 seconds on the play clock and checking into an RPS +3 play once they saw Michigan in a man to man alignment:
Where did they get that call?
From the sideline after they got lined up with 25 seconds on the clock and Michigan showed man coverage with one high safety. That was not aww shucks luck. It's using the extra information the defense gives you to exploit it. Michigan, meanwhile, is usually still in the huddle with 18 seconds on the playclock and often scrambles to the line with no other option than running what's called no matter what the D shows.
It kind of sucks that Michigan doesn't seem to want to do similar things. You'd think every coach would love the opportunity to get whatever information they can before making a decision.
Michigan's not using these newfangled offensive innovations. They suck so much at varying tempo that you, reader, have screamed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" more than once in two-minute drills the last two years.
I love everything about Brady Hoke, but this is the one thing that makes me fret at night when I forget about Jabrill Peppers.
[After THE JUMP: DeBord is not Borges, Borges is not DeBord. Gardner confirm. Interior line muttering.]
Mailbag: Computer Predictions, Legends Patches, OSU Game Plan
I agree.
Season prediction by computers
I'm sure you've seen Brian Fremeau's FEI projections already. If I remember correctly, they had us at 8 wins last year...
This year it's 7 wins. :( To tell you the truth, there have been so many positive comments about Gardner, I was starting to get confirmation bias. Your thoughts?
Statistical preseason rankings are often lagging indicators since in an effort to be at all reflective of reality they have to not only take data from the previous year but the previous few. This means they predict what has happened before will happen again. Fremeau's Program FEI rankings look at the last five years. For Michigan that includes the entire Rodriguez era.
They are therefore useless in this case except insofar as the 2010 recruiting class is still with us. Or not with us, as the case may be. I don't put a ton of stock into computer projections, and in Michigan's specific case it's barely any.
Reading the Braden/Bryant tea leaves
What do you/MGoBlog staff think about Braden being shifted to back-up OT?
1. Braden couldn't pull or otherwise do the things they want from their their guards?
2. Bryant has proven himself as a potential starter/legit back-up?
3. Some of both,
4. Completely unclear
I lean towards 1 with a bit of 3. It's clear they wanted Braden to be the guy, clear that Braden is a physical monster who demands you try to start him as soon as he's off a redshirt, and also clear that he's not really a guard. Or at least it became clear. Otherwise he would still be competing there, and Glasgow would be competing at center, and the possibility that Bryant's radiator goes out midseason would be covered by the prospect of playing Braden.
HOWEVA, I do think Bryant has legitimately emerged as an option. For one, chatter. For two, they moved Braden back outside, seemingly permanently.
Legends patches. Merph.

As three more players get their numbers exchanged for Legends jerseys this year, I shake my head and pine for what #19 could have meant for Michigan fans in three years. My buddy's #10 jersey is now Just Another Brady. Are the jerseys taking away from the chance for new players to carve out their own place in Michigan history?
One man's solution: Assign Legends jerseys (and maybe even some retired numbers?) on one game a year. Homecoming is an obvious choice- the alumni presence will appreciate the old numbers more. Let the players assert, through the first half of the season, who deserves to wear a Legends number, and since it's only one game a year, they don't have to give up their own. Thoughts?
Yes, they are taking away the ability for players to carve out their own number legacy. I was looking forward to seeing #19 on the field and thinking about Funchess, having tight ends want the #19, having a Funchess patch on #19, etc. Now that's not happening. Funchess can annihilate TE receiving records and go zeroth in the NFL draft and no patch. Ditto Gallon: guy was #10, and now he's just the latest guy to wear #21 for one year. (I actually mind the Avery move less, since he's not likely to be a guy you remember forever and sigh about. Rewarding a senior captain who isn't an out-and-out star with the fancy patch is a good thing.)
While your suggestion is an upgrade on the current situation, they should just issue legends jerseys like normal numbers to incoming freshmen. Maybe hold them out and hand them out to promising sophomores—Jake Ryan getting 47 early in his sophomore year is much different than switching a guy burned into your head as some other number. But just hand them out to kids who want them when they show up.
Getting overly precious about numbers is blowing them up, as can be seen with the effectively-retired #1. Players should get numbers and never change those numbers, and I miss handlebar mustaches and gangrene.
Ohio State: what to do?
Hey Brian,
Now that you've looked at some of the OSU game (and I assume managed to stomach some of the run plays again as well), what are your impressions of Borges's second half game plan.
My feelings have been, after watching it a couple times, that the game plan wasn't nearly as much an issue as execution. While some of the play calls didn't lend when to Michigan's abilities, basic execution (such as the interior OL managing to make an effective double at the point of attack so Michigan could pick up a single yard) far out-weighed the possibly poor play calling aspects of the game. Even Lewan struggled to execute regularly in this game IMO.
Again, while I freely admit the game plan and play calling was far from perfect, as with most cases, I think 9 out of 10 times it's execution that is the issue more so than what most fans see as an OC screwing it up with play calling. IMO, if there is any issue, it was the offensive coaches not getting the players up to a point where they could execute fairly simple tasks regularly. What's your take on the situation.
Space Coyote
While execution was a major issue, Michigan had to know that was going to be a problem. The OL had been flailing since at least the Nebraska game. OSU had a front seven laden with players who were always going to overwhelm Michigan's interior line. So I was on-board with the three first-half running back carries. More than doubling that in the second half was foolish.
Also foolish: expecting that Ohio State would not cotton on to the fact that Denard could not throw. The third-down speed option was doomed since the free safety was plunging down at the slot. Meanwhile, Borges called a ton of pointless rollouts (remember that John Simon was out) that ended up as inaccurate passes as Gardner couldn't set his feet.
The argument about execution always gets my dander up, because you as a coordinator are responsible for putting your players in a position to succeed. Their ability to execute opens up some possibilities and closes off others, but—for instance—asking Denard Robinson to execute on naked bootlegs on which a player will always be in his face the instant he turns around is on you, the coordinator. You have to execute as well.
I think Borges's options were limited, but three things stand out:
- Refusing to run Gardner. He had three attempts. Michigan could have used the extra blocker on short yardage badly.
- Telegraphing second-half run plays with Robinson. You had to know that 19 of the 20 minutes at halftime were spent saying "DENARD CANNOT THROW".
- Incessant rollouts.
(And he got super lucky on Michigan's final drive of the first half, as he'd managed to turn a two minute drill into a 30 second drill in two plays… and then Denard stayed up.)
I've detailed why I think Borges's gameplans in three games in particular were atrocious (2011 Iowa, 2011 Michigan State, and 2012 Notre Dame) because they asked players to do things they weren't good, over and over again.
Borges's philosophy is about as opposed to Rodriguez's as can be, and that's fine. He has track records of very efficient offenses in his past. He will have them in the future. But his desire to do Borges things with players ill-suited to do them cost Michigan a couple games over the past couple years. The Ohio State game is probably not in that category… but it's debatable.
Tuesday Presser Transcript 8-27-13: Al Borges
"How we doin'?"
Great. Are you game ready yet?
"Getting there, yeah. We're getting there. Now that we've kind of shaved it down to the guys that we think are going to participate in a game, that's always kind of when you start making a little bit more progress. You're not working with your third team guys all the time. You're working with the guys that are actually going to play in the game. You can start getting a little chemistry, and it starts going better."
You have six running backs on the depth chart. How many do you think will actually get carries?
"Who knows? I don't know. Fitz [Toussaint] is going to be our starting running back, and we're going to play it by ear. I don't have an answer to that question because Fitz is going to be the running back and we'll just see how things go."
Have you ever listed six guys at running back before?
"I think so. At one point I did. It may not have been at running back. Yeah, I'm sure I have, yeah. At some place I've been. That's a lot, though. I will say that."
Fall Camp Presser Transcript 8-22-13: Al Borges
Opening remarks:
"These high chairs are not really built for me. Hrnggh. How's my hair look?"
Great. Bad news about Amara Darboh. How do you compensate for that?
"Well, fortunately we have some pretty good kids that can fill in, but I feel probably worse for him than anybody. The kid had an excellent spring ball and capped it off with a fabulous two-a-days. He was playing good. I feel bad because I really feel like this was going to be a big, almost maybe even a coming-out season for him. But he's got a redshirt, so I guess there's a silver lining, but I just feel bad for the kid."
Does this maybe put a little more pressure on Jehu Chesson?
"Well Jehu would do it. Joe Reynolds will be out there. Jeremy Jackson. We have some capable replacements, thank goodness. All those guys, not just Jehu, but everybody."
Will you consider any position changes to try to get some depth?
"Oh I don't think so. I think we're still okay. We can't lose too many more."
Are any of the freshmen capable at this point?
"No. No. Not really."
Not yet?
"No. Not yet. But we're not completing eliminating them, either. Not yet, anyway."
Fall Camp Presser Transcript 8-16-13: Al Borges
"Heiko, what's up? How's it going?"
MGo: Not bad. How are you?
"Good ... I'm supposed to give a shout out to Devin Gardner. Don't ask me what that's about. So I did it, okay?"
"Well this is pretty easy."
How comfortable has Devin Gardner looked in practice?
"Pretty comfortable, yeah. Like I said last time, he's pretty confident in nature. He's been in the system now for a while. Understands what we want. For the quarterback, if he thinks like the coaches, which I think he's doing more and more of, it really gives him a chance."
Have you seen specific elements that he improved on over the summer?
"Oh yeah. Yes. Just understanding route structure, decision-making. All that comes when you play more, obviously, but there's a big difference in terms of just knowing where to go with the ball, timing of the cuts, how we work ... we work a lot on improv stuff because he's athletic, but we would do this with any quarterback. We work a lot on when we break contain or push the pocket, when something doesn't happen by structure and he has to make something happen. So we work more and more on that kind of stuff. We work on the receivers and where they're supposed to be and all that stuff. He's getting a really good understanding of that, too."

The man accused in the death of a 10-month-old baby and her grandmother will stand trial on murder and kidnapping charges.
Raghunandan Yandamuri, 26, appeared in court Wednesday.
During the court appearance, prosecutors played a video taped statement, in which Yandamuri was heard saying he never meant to kill anyone. In the video, he continued to say he just wanted to kidnap 10-month-old Saanvi Venna for ransom.
Yandamuri said in the video things got out of control, leading to the two deaths.
Montgomery County Prosecutors say they may seek the death penalty in this case.

As World War I draws to a close in 1918, German citizens are starving and suffering under a repressive regime. Sixteen-year-old Moritz is torn. His father died in the war and his older brother still risks his life in the trenches, but his mother does not support the patriotic cause and attends subversive socialist meetings. While his mother participates in the revolution to sweep away the monarchy, Moritz falls in love with a Jewish girl who also is a socialist. When Moritz's brother returns home a bitter, maimed war veteran, ready to blame Germany's defeat on everything but the old order, Moritz must choose between his allegiance to his dangerously radicalized brother and those who usher in the new democracy.

Here's an interesting twist to traditional sewer televising. Clay, plastic, concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, and other pipe materials don't conduct electricity well. So if it leaks electricity, chances are the pipe also leaks water. Even better, you know exactly where the leak starts and stops.
How well does it work (and how much does it cost)? The company urges potential customers to take Water Environment Research Foundation project INFR4R12 for ASTM F2550 performance (Sewer Lateral Electro Scan Field Pilot) results with a grain of salt because new technology requires new ways of interpreting data (check out YouTube for details).
At least one utility, the Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia, included the product in an RFP for an annual evaluation contract. Other users so far include the City of McKinney (Texas) Public Works Department's Water/Wastewater Division and Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities.

My Email Digests
Dec. was rough, Christmas was tense. We had a huge fight on New Year's Eve, when we both said we were through. I woke up New Year's Day with a good look at my behaviors, and asked him for another chance. It took two days and lots of talk between us, but he had temporarily agreed. Then on Jan. 3rd, I took a nasty fall, breaking my leg which required surgery to fix. Over the last 8 weeks, I have been incapcitated, and I admit I have acted horrific. In pain, on narcotics, and still reeling from the fight, I have been depressed on top of it all.
My pattern of behavior is to lash out at him via email or notes, saying how much I want to be done with the marriage. I know this comes from feeling unwanted, unloved, and wanting to hit first. Unfortunately, I have been very abusive to him during the last 3 months, especially during the end of Jan into Feb.
About 2 weeks ago, he sent me an email saying he was looking for a place to move out to. I have to clarify that we haven't been communicating at all except via email, and I have been sleeping and living in the family room. I really didn't believe him.
A week ago, he sent a similar email. Then, when I asked him if he was certain, he never replied. I then asked for him to be involved when we tell the kids (10 and 13). He never replied. I kept at him, emailing that I would tell them on a certain day and time. Still no response.
I finally came to the day of the "deadline" and he avoided even being on the main floor of our two-story house. I was angry, so I did tell the kids of his decision. That night was the lowest of my life. I confronted him, asking him why. He refused to answer. I asked him to give me back his wedding ring (crazy, I know). He refused. I went downstairs, and contemplated taking 3 bottles of pills to die. I was only pulled back from the brink by my 10 year old asking me if I was ok. I then told my husband to take the pills, because I wasn't sure I wouldn't take them.
Two days later, he emailed me a final note: "I'm done."
I broke down emotionally that night. I realized I had been holding myself away from him, for him to come to me first. I confronted him the next morning, begging, crying and pleading to have him reconsider. He was adamant that his decision was final. I asked him for more time, and we did have a talk that night. He kept repeating his decision was made, and this was it. THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT!
I have spent the last 3 days in turmoil, crying, talking to family and my Deacon and my therapist. I have implored him to try to put aside the past 8 weeks of our problems, and give me some time to show him I was serious about my intent to change.
I am filled with grief over this. I have been reading Gary Chapman's "Loving Solutions," signed up for Magic of Making Up Course, joined the Marriage Fitness daily emails, and have read many posts online. I know what I need to do change my side of things, but he won't give me another chance.
Am I crazy? Am I asking for too much, for another chance with the man that I love? I have tried expressing my love this week, verbally and with loving actions, but it seems he is checking out. BTW, we are still living together, me downstairs, him up.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading my saga.
Actions speak louder than words. We can apologize over and over, but if our actions don't change, the words are meaningless. So if I were you I would make the effort to consistently, day after day, put or replace those words into an action(s). Become more involved with him and the children, as best you can with your situation. Greet them warmly with a smile and saying their name, touch their shoulder or what not with your hand, reach for his hand as if to hold it for a brief moment. Suggest a movie night at home or game night or ask him to play a game of cards. Write down 'sweet nothing' notes or get him some cheaper loving cards.
Hope this helps.
Let us know how you doing. I'm hoping the best for you.
Keep your head up.
I've been through something very similar and I'm so sorry for what you are going through. The ex and I went through a 6 week separation in 2009 and then a 6 month separation in 2010, got back to reconcile and all was going really well until suddenly six months later it wasn't. He stated he wanted a divorce and was leaving for good in a week. This was brought on when I confronted him about something he did that was disrespectful. Then the day he told me he was leaving, he had been out for several hours to the "movies" with his young, single, girl, "friend"...who had become a wedge between us over the course of these two years we struggled so. When my ex told me he was "done" I realized the truth was he was done long before he said it and meant it. I wish he had left after going to marriage counselling (which was a joke) and before ever going through the first separation. After he left the last time he didn't file and when I confronted him about it 3 months later the mixed signals and waffling came into play prolonging the inevitable for 14 more months. I wish I would have just filed when he didn't - I seriously contemplated but I couldn't bring myself to do it - eventually he did because he HAD to. Had to as in he got a girl (not the same one mentioned above) pregnant but didn't bother telling me. I found out on facebook of all places - two months after our divorce was finalized, one month after this child was born.
I'm not saying you will experience the same outcome, but please, please, protect your heart. Feel confident that you are doing everything you can to save the marriage. If he's no longer willing to make an effort that's on him.

Employee Testimonials
Sailaja - Lead Database Analyst
Energy East provided me rewarding work opportunities without the need to forfeit my family life. My daughter was an infant when I started here 3 years ago and a flexible schedule was very important to me. When I was hired into a lead database analyst they worked with me to achieve a work-life balance, which was very important to me. I have been encouraged to explore career growth opportunities within my organization and know that Energy East will help me to get where I want to go. I enjoy working at Energy East because of the people, the flexibility, the caring, and the opportunities. Energy East is a genuinely happy and fun place to work. People are eager to do their jobs and put forth their best efforts across the company. In my job, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to interface with many different employees across the entire company. The enthusiasm here is widespread and infectious - great people working together!
Scott - Director, Technical Services
IT is a quickly evolving field and when the computer savvy generation becomes the predominate work force you will see the role of IT shift. This shift will move more control and data to the end user and permanently shift the responsibilities from IT.
The server management and infrastructure management positions will be less of a specialized role and become the more entry level role in IT. IT will merge more with the business with a focus on information gathering and delivery. IT Infrastructure will become a commodity.
The way to keep pace and be successful will be through education and maintaining an open mind. IT management is very much like software versions. We plan to go from Step 1 or Version 1.0 to Version 2.0, we do not think about going from Version 1.0 to Version 100. We need to start thinking with a creative out-of-the box approach and not in small steps.
Lindsay - Network Engineering Intern
Being not all that far from a newcomer myself, I would have to impress upon a new person the importance of communication skills. They are ever so important to make meetings, and your workplace function. But more so then that it is not necessarily the technical skills one might possess that makes them valuable to a company, but more so the ability to obtain those skills, and the desire to further those skills, your education does not end on graduation day.

Tell me what you think. The name at the bottom is a watermark from my ID on Red Bubble and is not in the design I submitted to TeeFury.

Walrus156 weeks agoI personally think it would have worked better without the "fantasy".
Great design tho'
Yeah. I thought the same thing when I first made it and I tried to think of something better to put in like Canadian, Toronto, Northern, Chaos, or something else. but I modeled it after the ESPN fantasy football logo and it was the best I could think of. If anybody else can think of something that would work better, tell me.
Walrus156 weeks agopossibly "Chaos Theatre", as Gideon is head of both orginizations
Updated design. any feedback would be appreciated.
Big J156 weeks agoLooks good but I hate that font at the bottom with a passion. It's one of those Chancery things isn't it?
I think the logo on it's on is great, doesn't need the text at all.
Yeah I put that on there because I thought it needed another Scott Pilgrim reference. I was also throwing around the idea of the bottom saying League of Fighters.
Storyman156 weeks agoMaybe instead of the two sticks logo, you could have 7 guys with their arms crossed with a black outline. this would be a total insta-buy for me!
TylrKakarot1155 weeks agoI personally think that the most recent one you posted (with the old-school feel to it) is the best of all of them. I couldn't see myself wearing the ones about the fighting league, but the last one looks great.
ArmaNarma155 weeks agoThe last one is the ticket for sure. The arcade-style font with a more direct reference is a perfect 10.
SeckzBobOmb155 weeks agoI think my name shows how much I love the final design. I would buy this in a heartbeat! Someone also needs to make a SBB album cover...I don't care what the album name is...but do it! I'd buy that shirt is a heartbeat, as well.

In this Opinion, the judge granted the defendants a total of $96,870.85 in attorneys fees. The action stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the Schumachers for $ 6.6 million dollars against the City of Portland and the named defendants seeking damages for alleged illegal protest activities in front of their fur store. The defendants all prevailed on their Motion to Strike. The court observed that awarding of attorney fees is mandatory under Oregon law when a party prevails in an anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) lawsuit. Thus, the issue at hand was the amount of the attorney fees. The court went through the factors under Oregon law in analyzing the reasonableness of the requested attorney fees. When examining each factor, the court determined that the evidence either was in favor of defendants or was neutral. Notably, the court found that the plaintiffs' claims against defendants were not objectively reasonable because the plaintiffs did not produce any evidence that the prevailing defendants did anything illegal.
