Paranormal Activity 4 Goes Big With IMAX Release
By Kristy Puchko 上 十月 09, 2012
This October marks the fourth year in a row that Paramount Pictures has terrorized audiences with a new entry in their wildly successful found footage franchise Paranormal Activity. Already the series that focuses on the demonic exploits that plague one doomed family has earned more than $575 million worldwide. To be sure their latest installment, Paranormal Activity 4, scores with audiences, Paramount brought back Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (of Catfish fame/infamy), the cheered co-helmers of the surprisingly sharp prequel Paranormal Activity 3, to continue to grow the world of these freaky films. But to give their box office an additional boost, the studio ... 阅读全文

It's been a while since I've edited an AVI.
I moved and can't find my manual.
When I make an AVI, the image is very small in the middle of the screen.
I clicked the drop down and change the percentage.
I even changed the scale to where it fit on the preview screen.
One thing it did was fill the screen in the background and then there was another small image covering the middle of the big image.

This is truly a well made replica of the bridges and fits great. Of course, some grinding is needed to make sure if fits on the top. A recommended item and also great to have as a spare bridge.
I purchased the Randy Wood Vintage-style mandolin bridge to up grade the stock bridge on a morgan monroe rocky top mandolin. It added to the mandolin in sound and in balance across the strings. Execellent product.

This Lavender Creme Brûlée is part of a floral-themed picnic for Foodbuzz's April 2010 24, 24, 24 event. For more information, click here.
Lavender Creme Brûlée
The addition of lavender adds a subtle but inviting floral flavor to this classic creme brûlée. It's topped with caramelized vanilla sugar, which was made by storing granulated sugar in an airtight container with a vanilla bean pod for several days.
- 1.5 cups whipping cream
- 2 Tbs dried lavender
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 Tbs vanilla sugar
Add the cream and lavender to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and white sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted from the bowl. Slowly stir a little bit of the cream into the yolk mixture to raise the temperature. Then add the yolk mixture into the cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens like a custard and coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the vanilla. Divine between four individual ramekins and chill thoroughly. Sprinkle the tops with the vanilla sugar and caramelize using a kitchen torch or by placing under the broiler for a few seconds.
Serves 4.

text: I am looking at the WB-051 or WH-055 knight boilers. The biggest differences I see are in the head loss, gallon capacity, and heat exchange surface area. The WB has a head loss of 11.0 at a delta T of 20 deg. while the WH has a loss of only .27. Why such a large difference? In what situation does one work better thank the other? The one with the lower loss has a 2.5 gallon capacity while the high head loss model has a .6 gallon capacity. Again, why such a difference? This seems huge to me. I was going to go with the WH-051 but found the other model on their web site and thought I would look into it.

The Flaming Unicorns Represent PHX in Nation's Largest HIV/AIDS Fundraiser
Published: Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Updated: Friday, June 29, 2012 13:06
Six Downtown Phoenix residents – who call themselves the Flaming Unicorns – recently were among the finishers in the nation's largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser.
The The AIDS/LifeCycle (ALC) is a seven-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. It raised $12.6 million this year, and ended on June 9.
ALC donates 65 cents of every dollar (that's a 35 percent operating cost) to the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. While there is no cure for HIV, the funds can help those with HIV live productive lives.
The Flaming Unicorns, who describe themselves as community activists, designers, local business owners and humanitarians, are Eric Irestone, Dann Dykas, Susie Clare, Ruben Gonzales, Brian Paez and Rafael Sanchez.
They called the journey, which began June 3 and ended June 9, a life-changing journey on two wheels.
"We wanted to do something different and we wanted to do something meaningful," said Dykes, an industrial design student at ASU who had heard about the ride from friends.
Despite having different schedules, they focused on fundraising and outreach. The Flaming Unicorns paid to have a booth at Phoenix Pride Festival to get the word out, and they turned their Halloween bash into a fundraising opportunity.
While the charities are California based, one-third of the riders at this year ALC were from out of state. Kenney, the Flaming Unicorns' AIDS/Life Cyclist representative, said it's because the San Francisco AIDS Foundation often sets the policy and direction for every other clinic in the country.
"We have a lot of influence in Washington, D.C., so anything that we do is replicable in every other community center possible," he said. "Often what we end up doing, other centers around the country implement it locally."
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center (the largest gay and lesbian center in the country) also has a fully accredited medical facility onsite and provides services for people who can't afford it. Kenney said the center sees nearly 2,500 clients a year who are able to get treatment onsite.
Through their efforts, the members of the Flaming Unicorns raised over $22,000 for the cause. In addition to fundraising, they had to prepare for their seven-day ride. They took training into their own hands, despite not being seasoned cyclists. They borrowed, bought, built and even had their bikes donated for the ride.
"We all ride bikes because we live downtown, but none of us had done more than 50 miles in a run," said Dykas.
They trained as much as they could around the Valley to be able to withstand the consecutive ride. They rode to the Renaissance Fair from downtown Phoenix and practiced on the hills near Saguaro Lake north of Mesa.
While fun, the ride proved to be challenging. They rode in sun, wind, fog, rain and hail at some points during the ALC. Team members even suffered minor injuries, but they all crossed the finish line together. The Flaming Unicorns attribute their success to the warm and accommodating community that ALC is known for.
"The camp is 3,000 people moving down the coast," said Dykas. "Even so, you learn faces fast. There were around 2,200 riders and 700 or 800 roadies and staff. The roadies do all the work. They do everything that doesn't involve riding."
Although the riders were pampered by the staff, injuries still occurred. Gonzales, owner of 11th Monk3y Apparel and Designs and co-owner of The Lab at 137, had his knee go out two days before the ride ended, but he still managed to push through the pain.
"My knee just started to lock up," Gonzales said. "So like everyone else I hit the medic tent and had them wrap it. It did its job for a bit but my knee just had it, and if it wasn't for a few people coming up behind me and helping me climb those last hill with one foot clipped in I wouldn't of made it. I needed to cross that finish line one way or another and it was gonna' be on my bike not walking nor driving."
Once they crossed the finish line in Los Angeles, half of the team signed up for ALC next year. The Flaming Unicorns tradition will live on and now that they've found their footing, they've got plenty in store 2013.
"It's like that first love," Gonzales said, "the one you will remember for the rest of your life."

Moving forward: The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB) is celebrating its 10th anniversary
The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB) is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013. To mark this occasion, a range of public events has been planned for the whole year. And what is more, our Valais customers can enjoy access to low-priced ski tickets until April 2013.

The train journey takes over seven hours and is one of the absolute highlights of railway travel in Switzerland. With the MGB, visitors to Zermatt may now travel comfortably from Visp to Zermatt, the Matterhorn village where they can enjoy the car-free environment and clean air.
Low-priced access to the Zermatt ski area on Saturdays
Until 21 April 2013 families living in the Valais can enjoy access to cheaper ski tickets each Saturday. Our offer: Adults pay CHF 68 and 3 children under 16 ride free. Included: Travel from any Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn station between Oberwald and St. Niklaus to Zermatt and back, plus ski day ticket for all in the Zermatt snow sports area.

FAIRFIELD, Iowa — The followers of a meditation practice that has roots in ancient India say it's simple: Close your eyes, silently repeat a mantra and relax. But a dispute among rivals for control over its teaching is anything but peaceful, featuring personal attacks, aggressive lawyering and accusations of improper business practices.

There were no competitive internationals for Chelsea players on Wednesday evening but plenty of friendly action including wins for Juan Mata and Branislav Ivanovic and a first for Islam Feruz at Under-21 level.
Gary Cahill was the one Chelsea starter in England's 4-2 defeat in Sweden in a match to mark the opening of the new national stadium in Sweden, replacing the Rasunda Stadium, scene of our 1998 Cup Winners' Cup triumph.
As on that night, the pitch for Wednesday's game was questionable but having gone behind on 20 minutes, England went 2-1 ahead with goals from Danny Welbeck and debutant Steven Caulker, a lead they took into the break and held when Daniel Sturridge was introduced on 61 minutes, one of six England substitutes overall.
However Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored three times in a quarter-of-an-hour to give him all four of Sweden's goals and his nation a victory. The fourth goal was a remarkable overhead kick from long-range. Ryan Bertrand was an unused sub.
Juan Mata played the first half of Spain's 5-1 win away to Panama. The Chelsea man went close with a free-kick and played the through ball from which Pedro scored his side's third goal - 3-0 the score when Mata was substituted.
Branislav Ivanovic captained Serbia to a 3-1 win over Chile in a game played in Switzerland. The South Americans pulled a late goal back after being reduced to 10 men when three goals down.
There was defeat though for Belgium who started with Kevin De Bruyne and brought Romelu Lukaku on after 56 minutes but left Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois on the bench. They lost 2-1 away to Romania.
David Luiz and Ramires played the full game and Oscar all but the last three minutes of Brazil's 1-1 draw with Colombia in New Jersey, USA. Neymar, who scored the Brazil goal, also missed a late penalty.
Conor Clifford was an unused sub for Republic of Ireland in a home 1-0 defeat to Greece. Tomas Kalas, currently on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, was promoted to the senior Czech squad and came on after 72 minutes of a 3-0 win over Slovakia. With it being a friendly international, Petr Cech was not involved.
At Under-21 level it was a notable night for Islam Feruz who despite being on the losing side, scored twice in an away game in Portugal.
The 17-year-old put the Scots 2-0 up with a header and a run through the defence, his first goals at this level having scored a hat-trick for Scotland Under-19s last month. Portugal hit back with three second-half goals.
Milan Lalkovic played 73 minutes of Slovakia U21s' 2-1 defeat to Russia in a game played in Spain; Nathan Ake 61 minutes for Netherlands U19s in a match against Dutch club side PEC Zwolle.

Rivers didn't write the song, do you think he wrote the solo?
There's more to Irony than that. From the dictionary.com entry:
5. an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.
6. the incongruity of this
What I meant is that it's ironic that on an album being hailed (around here, anyway), as a return to form and Weezer's best in years, the song many people believe to be the best on the album was not written by the band's principal songwriter or anyone else in the group.
G Foo Chombey said:No, I believe irony is more like saying something while meaning the opposite. Something like someone saying "Oh that music is sure great.." while referring to a genre they hate. That's all I'm sayin'.
BackToSchool said:Ever hear of "situational irony"? Or are you just pretending to be clueless because you perceive what I said as an insult to the band or something?
G Foo Chombey said:I don't see how that's ironic.
BackToSchool said:It's a cool solo, but I don't think it even comes close to any of the good solos on Pinkerton, or Blue for that matter. It feels like it's just "there" rather than being an integral part of the song, in my opinion.
It's ironic that this is probably a better song than anything on else on the album, and Rivers didn't write it.
Who wrote this song? I know the lead singer of the Aquabats started Yo Gabba Gabba, but does he write all the songs too? I could honestly see Rivers writing this though,

Spring Game Primer: Defense
What, you expected a picture of someone else?
The two-part preview of the spring game concludes with a look at the defense. Part one, covering the offense—including some staggering insight on the kicking game—lives here.
Big Will Style. It is Year 4 of the Will Campbell Breakout Watch, and the stakes are raised this season, as he'll be playing on the first team unless... he'll be playing on the first team. Campbell showed flashes of his five-star talent last season, displaying an ability to overwhelm interior linemen with his strength and surprising quickness. To have the desired impact, however, he must play with more consistency. Yes, this is where we talk about pad level. If Campbell shows he can stay low, regularly push the pile, and simply occupy two blockers to allow the linebackers to make plays, there will be optimism abound about the defense. No pressure, big guy.
Touch (Don't Hit, Please) The Quarterback. Michigan generated a decent pass rush last season, finishing 29th in the country with 2.3 sacks per game, but much of that pressure was generated by now-graduated linemen Mike Martin and Ryan Van Bergen. The line underwent a major overhaul this spring, with Craig Roh moving to strongside DE and Jibreel Black to three-tech DT, leaving sophomores Brennen Beyer and Frank Clark to battle for the weakside DE spot. The new line is more athletic than last year's edition; Black could be a terror rushing from the inside, where he'll no longer have to deal with his issues playing in space, while both DE spots get an upgrade athletically. The key here is Roh, who's on his fourth position in four years, which has understandably led to less production than expected when he hit campus after a stellar high school career. If he can handle the occasional double-team from the tight end and find a way to get to the QB, this could be a fearsome unit when they pin their ears back, especially with Madman Mattison pulling the strings.
More D-Line, Because It Scares Me. The starting unit (counting Beyer/Clark as a two-headed weakside monster) should be just fine [insert Campbell caveat], but the backups inspire less confidence. Richard Ash hasn't proven much at Michigan except his ability to resemble a small planet while struggling with injuries; that's your backup nose tackle until Ondre Pipkins gets to Ann Arbor. Quinton Washington has seen the field sparingly and hasn't really produced since switching over from guard; that's your backup three-tech unless one of the true freshmen is game-ready this fall. Nathan Brink should be passable at strongside DE, but he's out for the spring game. I guess we'll see how Chris Rock looks as a redshirt freshman. All we're hoping for here is competence, enough to allow the starters to get the occasional breather—remember the Sugar Bowl if you're asking why that's necessary—without putting fans into full-on panic mode.
New Blood. Early enrollee Joe Bolden has seemingly passed everyone but Kenny Demens on the depth chart at middle linebacker, and of the three true freshmen who will play tomorrow he's the most likely to have a big role come fall. He should see the field a lot tomorrow, especially with Demens recovering from a "mild" concussion*. Don't sleep on safety Jarrod Wilson, however, who's also impressed practice observers. Wilson isn't a likely candidate to start with Thomas Gordon returning, but he should provide valuable depth and has the potential to turn into the ball-hawking free safety Michigan hasn't seen since... [racks brain, shows youth, leaves space blank {Ed-S: Tommy Hendricks? Daydrion Taylor? Chuck Winters? Corwin Brown? Ray/Shazor/Adams were all SS} ].
Secondary... Depth? That Can't Be Right. Heading into the spring, the cornerback position appeared settled with returning starters Blake Countess and J.T. Floyd set to reprise last year's role, with Courtney Avery penciled in as the nickel corner. But now, there are rumblings that junior Terrence Talbott is very much in the mix to start, though I'm not sure who the odd man out would be in that situation; Floyd has the experience and was a consistently strong performer last year, while Countess had his ups and downs but clearly has the higher ceiling. Throw in Raymon Taylor providing good competition at nickel, and all of a sudden Michigan has something resembling depth at cornerback. I'll let that sink in for a second.
Sorry not sorry. Heads asplode again when you realize that Wilson and Marvin Robinson allow Michigan to go two-deep at both safety spots as well. Timez are weird these days.
Killa Cam. Cam Gordon spring practice hype? YOU DON'T SAY. We've been through this song and dance before with less-than-desirable results, so color me skeptical when practice rumblings have Gordon pushing Jake Ryan for the starting gig at SLB. While I highly doubt Ryan is displaced—he's poised for a run at all-conference status—Gordon could be a very solid rotation guy, bringing athleticism off the edge and the ability to drop into coverage. With Bolden pushing for time at MIKE and a whole group of players—senior Brandin Hawthorne, redshirt freshman Antonio Poole, and early enrollee Kaleb Ringer—providing competition behind Desmond Morgan at WILL, it appears there's also lots of linebacker depth to go around.
Can I Get a Consistent Big Leg? Will Hagerup and Matt Wile are battling it out for the starting punter spot, something Brady Hoke addressed in yesterday's presser:
"I think they're kind of neck and neck. One day one of them is really consistent and one day he's not. The other guy's consistent. We're going to do some stuff on Saturday to really put some heat on them and see how they handle that part of it. We've been doing that some, but I think in that environment you get a couple more speed guys on there, I think it will be interesting to see."
Hokespeak translation: Hagerup = inconsistent big leg, Wile = consistent less big leg. We'll see what happens when there are punt cover teams running at them.
The situation would be resolved if Hagerup could eliminate the 30-yard shanks from his repertoire. Unfortunately, he hasn't done that in two seasons as the starter-when-not-suspended. Wile doesn't have the Zoltan-level upside of Hagerup, but his reliability could give him an edge. We won't really get any definitive answers tomorrow—sample size and all—but it's worth keeping an eye on as we edge closer to football season.
*I think we'll reach the point in the not-so-distant future where we look back and realize there is absolutely no such thing as a "mild" concussion. Oh, my brain had a minor thump into my skull. No biggie.
Spring Practice Presser Transcript 3-27-12: Craig Roh and Will Campbell
Craig Roh
vs. SDSU
Have you ever ridden on the tandem bike with Taylor Lewan?
"Yes. It was a magical experience."
Does he prefer to be in front or in back?
"He usually takes the front. It's his bike, so he takes the front. Taylor's back is the most amazing thing to look at. I've only done it once. I mean, it was magical but I don't know how many more times I want to ride it."
Did he have one in high school as well?
"He just bought the tandem bike actually. I think it's a good purchase on his part. It goes with his persona -- the mustache tattoo, the tandem bike, just all fits in with it."
Was it your idea to move to the strong side?
"They initiated it, but Greg Mattison was very avid on explaining that that's really the best fit for me. I truly believed it, too. I'm more of a guy that's a point of the attack, explosive guy. I just need to put the weight on. From what I've done so far in spring, I really like the position because the ball's coming to you a lot more and it seems like you have the opportunity to make more plays. Plus you don't have to run as much to get to the ball, which is nice."
(more after the jump)
2012 First Look: Defense
Van Bergen and Martin, Heininger
- NT Mike Martin. Penetrating, active nose tackle a major factor in Michigan's massive improvement in run defense; forced a pitch on a speed option; late-season run was absolute dominance; backed up by air, hope, and freshmen.
- SDE Ryan Van Bergen. Crafty veteran and iron man was less explosive than Martin but not by much; turned in huge OSU game; consistent production in UFR even if the actual numbers aren't that amazing; backed up by walk-on.
- DT Will Heininger. Walk-on evolved from liability against MAC teams to solid, maybe even better than that, Big Ten DT; made a play or two every game after the nonconference schedule; replacement will be Will Campbell and the hope he can finally play some football.
CB/S Troy Woolfolk. Bounced from CB to S throughout career; basically a NEVER FORGET poster all to himself after series of injuries robbed him of all or much of his senior year twice; marginalized by injury and burned by Posey; did not start Sugar Bowl.
[worry ceases]
- JB Fitzgerald. Touted recruit never managed to see the field except on occasional snaps spotting Demens or playing DE under GERG.
- Brandon Herron. Scored two touchdowns against WMU and was never heard from again.
- Jared Van Slyke. Saw some snaps due to injury over the course of his career.
Kovacs, Ryan, Roh
- SS Jordan Kovacs. Never going to be a great deep half guy but the best damn tiny linebacker there's ever been; great tackling in space; great angles; huge part of Michigan's lack of big plays given up; best safety since at least Marcus Ray and probably further back.
- SLB Jake Ryan. Explosive edge athlete with a burst opponents are unprepared for; did get confused sometimes as a freshman; outstanding flow; nickel DE.
- WDE Craig Roh. Solid, but did not provide the explosive edge rush Michigan was hoping for. May end up moving to SDE, but his size and body type seemingly disqualifies him from that.
- CB Blake Countess. Touted recruit stepped into the starting lineup when Woolfolk was struck down and played very well; crappy edge tackling needs work; had tough close to the season against OSU and VT.
- CB JT Floyd. Resurrected his career and even turned in a big play or three along the way; jumped a route against Illinois to salt that game away; best technique amongst cover guys; still not that fast; also crappy edge tackling.
- MLB Kenny Demens. Ate a lot of blocks after move to new system; hopefully will get more decisive in year two; highly underrated cover guy; not much of a blitzer; may seem a lot better if the NT in front of him is a space eater instead of a penetrator.
- FS Thomas Gordon. Also a big part of Michigan's excellent big play prevention; largely exempted from secondary criticism after OSU game because he was not on the field for the worst of it; sweet-ass interception against EMU; probably a better fit at SS.
WLB Desmond Morgan. Wrested the job away from a couple veterans once he got healthy, whereupon he was okay for a freshman; problems in coverage; problems with misdirection; a big chunk of Michigan's outside vulnerability; will either improve or see someone yoink his job.
[starters cease]
- Nickelback Courtney Avery. Diminutive but quality underneath cover guy; PBU and INT sealed OSU game; also a crappy edge tackler; fine option as a third corner.
- WDE Jibreel Black. Spotted Roh, could not take his job; may be a candidate to move to SDE if he can put on the weight; emergence of Frank Clark threatens to cut into playing time.
- DT Will Campbell. Alternates tossing his man into the quarterback with passive acceptance of blocks. Conditioning and effort an issue.
- WLB Brandin Hawthorne. Tiny safety-sized LB a man without a position after Michigan ditched the 3-3-5.
please don't be our DT.
Most of the DL. YAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY. The best unit on the team is strip-mined by eligibility expiration, leaving the next generation to… oh, right, the next generation doesn't exist. Fantastic.
Michigan's options at SDE are redshirt junior walk-on Nate Brink, who saw occasional snaps this year and was blown up on 80% of them, guys no one has seen or heard from like Jordan Paskorz, or true freshmen. At defensive tackle they've got two spots to fill and two guys who have seen meaningful snaps, Quinton Washington and Will Campbell. Kenny Wilkins and Richard Ash exist, Chris Rock will be coming off a redshirt, and there are some freshmen arriving. The most prominent is 330-pound tank/battleship/Hoke impersonator Ondre Pipkins.
I'll wait for you to finish retching.
All right! We retched it real good! Anyway. Massive dropoff is all but inevitable here. I'm betting Brink, Pipkins, and Campbell are your opening-day starters with Washington a guy who rotates in on the interior; Godin, Strobel, and Wormley will all play immediately due to necessity, leaping past Wilkins and Ash. Rock may also get some PT.
Nothing else. So we've got that going for us. Except…
Maybe WLB. Desmond Morgan is far from invulnerable at WLB, especially with Joe Bolden and Kaleb Ringer enrolling early. James Ross is extensively praised for his play identification ability and should be a candidate for early playing time. Teeny-tiny Antonio Poole is coming off a redshirt and is presumably less teeny-tiny.
That is a lot of guys vying for a single starting spot, many of them more athletic than Morgan at a spot that puts a premium on athleticism. Meanwhile, Kenny Demens is backed up by Mike Jones and more freshmen. Like Omameh, displacing him from the starting lineup provides an ancillary benefit by creating a quality backup where there is none already.
Sanity. O Mattison, without whom we are naught, yea, verily doth we bring these burnt offerings to your lustrous feet. May they keep your pecs jiggling as they command our forces to do something wondrous.
Experience. Michigan has it with eight starters back. For the first time since Carr's final season Michigan will go into the year running the same thing they did the year before. Run and tell that.
Depth at linebacker and quasi-linebacker. Michigan may have to pirate one of the three valid options at WDE to help out on the other side of the line but right now you can have decent confidence in any of Roh, Black, and Clark. At SLB, Ryan is a bust-out star, Brennen Beyer is coming off a freshman season with some promise and a role in short yardage, and Cam Gordon's still hanging around. In the middle, a flood of touted freshmen arrive to back up returning starters; Poole is also around.
Bending but not breaking. Kovacs and Gordon gave up vanishingly few big plays over the course of the season; both return.
The line, obviously. There's some talent there but if Michigan doesn't experience a massive backslide it's time to assume that Michigan's DL will be great as long as Hoke and Mattison and Montgomery are around.
okay, but what about, like, teams other than Western Michigan?
Getting to the quarterback. Roh did not blow up as we hoped and most of the options to replace other guys are ponderous. Campbell and Washington and Pipkins are going to be the sorts of guys who shove a couple dudes at the LOS on passing plays. Michigan got away with a lack of pass rush from the outside last year because a couple of their inside guys were great penetrators; next year Michigan needs their outside LB types (WDE and SLB) to MAKE PLAYS or opposing quarterbacks will be able to grow small businesses in the pocket.
Secondary athleticism. I love Kovacs with all of the hearts and think whatever athleticism he lacks is more than made up for by his smarts. At this point I'm not sure athleticism is even an issue. I can't remember the last time it came up in a game.
The rest of the secondary… we don't know about. Sometimes you're going to get burned over the top. When you have great recovery speed you can live. When you don't you die, which happened to Michigan time and again against Devier Posey. JT Floyd is much better but isn't likely to get a sniff from the NFL; Countess and Avery are faster but little buggers ill-suited to take on the Michael Floyds of the world. Thomas Gordon has decent to good speed; he still got burned over the top big time by Nebraska.
There are no blazers and the big guy in the secondary is almost kind of maybe outright slow. Yeah. So… could be an issue.
Can these coaches salvage the line? Tell me lies, baby.
How ready to play are some of these freshmen? If Bolden comes in and rips Morgan's job away from him that's probably good, but we're really talking about Ondre Pipkins, Chris Wormley, Tom Strobel, and Matt Godin here. Pipkins all but has to start from day one and two of the other three will be frequently-used depth guys.
Are the cornerbacks for real? They seemed fantastic over the first 11 games but the results against OSU and VT are alarming.
I'm torn. There is a case for a backslide despite returning eight starters. For one, the fumbles will not be as plentiful. For two, a lot of Michigan's weakness was covered up by Mike Martin being essentially unblockable the back half of the season and Van Bergen being so reliable. I'm worried that without those two, Michigan is going to have issues. In the best case scenario the new guys prevent OL from getting to the second level, making a lot of plays available for the linebackers that the linebackers might not make. I also don't see where the heat comes from.
But they do return eight starters and go from year one to year two in the same system. They seem pretty injury-resilient at spots that aren't Jordan Kovacs and bring in a lot of talented freshmen. They will be much older at just about every spot.
It's mandatory, though, so… yeah, they'll be worse. The lack of consistent pressure will be a year-long problem that exposes some of the issues in the secondary and the linebackers are not at the level they need to be to benefit from planetoid DL.
Sacks backslide into the bottom half of D-I after finishing 29th, total defense slides into the 30s, and the scoring defense does not repeat its top ten performance from a year ago.
Picture Pages: Whither Safeties
First: a confession. I really wanted to have the UFR's raring to go early this week. You must believe me. I wanted to play Fallout 3, which I'd saved as an end of the year treat, slightly more. So… yeah. I am through the main bit of that and am now plowing through the OSU game at all speed. I apologize for lackadaisical behavior and certainly hope Michigan is taking their film breakdowns more seriously than I am.
Second: a confusion. If you're like me, Michigan's inexplicable lack of a free safety was a surprising and disconcerting feature of the Akron State Golden Bobcats game. Before, Michigan had safeties. During… not so much. The reason for this was twofold. One:
Michigan spent a lot of time in formations like this with Kovacs rolled up to the line of scrimmage. This leaves just one deep safety.
The guy on the far right in this still coming over the top of a tight end that's pretty dang covered is Troy Woolfolk. Result:
Not quite an eighty yard touchdown. This was the very next drive after Woolfolk did the same thing on incredibly easy Braxton Miller touchdown one.
And then… I mean… WTF. It's third and twenty seven for OSU on their own three yard line, and despite having a mistake-prone Braxton Miller and third and a billion from the three, Ohio State throws.
The setup:
OSU's in an I, Michigan is in its usual under, albeit a nickel. You can see Kovacs rolled up to the line at the top of the screen; Floyd and Woolfolk are your two deep safeties.
OSU goes straight dropback. Michigan rushes three. You can see Ryan dropping off in the frame below; He'll set up to contain scrambles. Martin and RVB are doubled and get nowhere, but Roh got a speed rush on Mike Adams:
Adams tackles Roh and picks up the holding call that will give Michigan a safety. Huge play from Roh against a first round pick. But that's another Picture Pages. (It's not, actually.)
Given time, Miller sets up and chucks it. Where is Woolfolk?
On the 25, covering the slot receiver. Oh, balls.
54-yard TD on which Woolfolk and Countess jump the underneath route:
Near 80 yard touchdown:
Third and twenty-seven:
Items of Interest
WTF was this? The consistency with which Woolfolk was jumping the underneath route suggests it was part of Mattison's gameplan. Watch Woolfolk on the video just above: he is sitting on the slot receiver. But if Woolfolk is supposed to come up in a robber, why the hell is Countess playing outside of Posey on both of the latter two throws?
On the first one Spielman starts chattering about how Countess can't give up in the inside, and my immediate thought was "dude that is not on him, that is on the free safety losing his mind." Then the second one happens and… if it's third and twenty seven and your free safety vacates the deep middle for the third time in seven minutes(!) can it really be Woolfolk blowing an assignment? Probably not. I have not yet run across the sideline reporter screaming "OH MY GOD GREG MATTISON IS LITERALLY EATING TROY WOOLFOLK'S INTERNAL ORGANS FOR BUSTING SPECTACULARLY THREE TIMES IN SEVEN MINUTES AAAAAAAAAH THEY TOLD ME THIS WOULDN'T BE LIKE COVERING BRIAN KELLY NOT AGAIN NOT AGAIN NOT AGAIN." If Woolfolk had not been doing what he was supposed to, this would have happened.
So. We think Michigan is playing a three deep coverage on which the middle safety is intentionally sucking up on intermediate routes and the corner is playing outside. That does not make sense. That throw in the middle of the field is easy relative to deep fly routes down the sideline—that's why there's always a deep safety—and Michigan is giving it to OSU all day. Even on third and twenty-seven.
I don't get it, man. Even if you assume Countess is a freshman and thus screwing up, you're still putting him one on one with Posey all game with no help at all over the top. That doesn't seem like a good strategy.
On the other hand. Maybe you can't blame Woolfolk for these plays because he was executing his assignment. I find it hard to believe he is not at fault on the 54-yard WTF on OSU's first drive and the half-ending corner route on which he reacted very late. If Michigan lost that game that was going to be the kid's legacy, sorry to say. OSU's gameplan was based around attacking 1) Morgan and 2) Woolfolk with a side of Floyd and Countess.
Braxton Miller problems. Putting Kovacs in the box on every play restricts what you can run in coverage and exposes the middle of the field; that spot Woolfolk keeps running into is the same one Stoneburner will exploit for a huge gain on OSU's disconcerting 82-second touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. On that play the safety (now Gordon) stayed deep and there was no one to tackle once Stoneburner found the soft spot in the zone.
[Update: you can see Gordon turn and run for the post, leaving no one behind Demens.]
So your choice is between opening that up and opening up the deep stuff; obviously neither of those is a great choice.
Hurray Roh. Roh has not developed into the devastating pass rusher Michigan fans were hoping for this summer. He's got four sacks, which is amongst the team lead but far short of the numbers an impact player would put up. Here, though, he beats a very good tackle and gets paid for his effort. Thumbs up.
Picture Pages: Stunting The Veer
Michigan pull out the inverted veer for the first time in the Hoke era over the weekend and got a couple of nice gains off of it.
I suspect that this was an effect of playing Purdue, which has made the veer a staple of its offense ever since Perry the ACLephant started striking down their quarterbacks left and right. When Michigan ran the veer in the Rodriguez era it was invariably against Illinois, which was veer-mad at that point. The theory behind that is Michigan's practicing against it as a defense, it works a bit, it moves from the scout team to the first team, and hey—this thing kinda works good. Let's use it.
But that's another post. This is this post. This post is about the opponent running the veer (sort of, anyway) and Michigan scheming it to death.
It's third and five on Purdue's second drive, and Purdue screams both "run" and "doom doom doom" by lining up Justin Siller at quarterback.
aaaiieeeeee aaaaarrrrgghghgh
Michigan is in its nickel package with Ryan as a DE and Avery hanging out over the slot. You'll note the odd positioning of the DEs: Roh is standing up and Ryan is a yard or so behind Martin. BWS has pointed this out before. It's a tip as to what Michigan will do. They're going to drop Roh and stunt Ryan.
On the snap they… drop Roh and stunt Ryan, except Roh is reading the mesh point and flying out on the edge. Morgan blitzes from the backside:
At the mesh point Siller makes his read, which is keep.
Why does he keep? It looks like he's reading Demens, who is bugging out for the tailback. With no other linebacker to read and two guys headed out for the tailback Purdue should have numbers to head up the middle.
But Purdue has problems. Van Bergen is in a spot where he ends up taking two guys and Demens is not going to get blocked so that spot inside the playside DE that the veer attacks is not open. Ryan is now stunting through the gap. So you've got two guys getting doubled and one guy blocking air.
When that happens you can option off a guy and still find another in your face. Van Bergen helps out by beating a block. Roh reads the pull and forms up.
One block beaten plus one RPS+2 playcall results in a zillion unblocked guys in the backfield.
That is all she wrote.
Items of Interest
I might lack a name for this or it might be a screwup, but probably the former. So usually on this veer play you see a pulling lineman get outside the playside DT and block whoever shows up. Here the guard pulls and ends up inside of the playside tackle, which is not how things are supposed to work normally. This could be a variant, a screwup, or an improvisation once the G sees the center release into air.
If I had to guess I would say variant intended to hit it up inside of the tackle. Siller appears to be looking at Demens to make his decision, not the playside end.
This is the ideal result from a stunt/slant. So we talked about a slant Michigan ran against Eastern Michigan on which Hawthorne did not get the message and ended up getting blocked by a guy. Here the center ends up blocking air and the pulling G ends up doubling a guy because of Michigan's playcall.
The difference in the linebackers is in the reaction and angle. Hawthorne vs Demens fight:
Hawthorne doesn't know where to go and sits until he's blocked; Demens moves out decisively. This puts him in a position where no one can block him. That is the kind of instant movement that defenses like this depend on to remain gap sound.
Ryan is also unblocked but that's just an effect of the stunt call that was inevitable once Purdue failed to pick up on it pre-snap. Speaking of failing to pick up on it pre-snap…
I wonder if this alignment is coached or a freshman mistake. As noted above, BWS has previously caught Michigan defensive ends lining up well off the LOS, thereby tipping pass drops. Here Roh isn't even in a three-point stance and Ryan is a full yard behind Martin.
Purdue is advertising run. Michigan is advertising a zone blitz paired with a stunt. Purdue does not recognize this and gets it in the face.
If random bloggers are catching it, opposing offensive coordinators are catching it. If Michigan does this in the future and gets stoned after extensive pointing by the QB or OL, you'll know this has migrated from the brain of the coaches to the field. These things are subtle, but not subtle enough to go unnoticed, I think.
Some player did some things well. RVB beats a block to provide a not-strictly-necessary third guy in the backfield and Ryan tackles. This is a rock-paper-scissors win, mostly, but you still have to execute.
Michigan did several things like this over the course of the day. Purdue's run game was basically nonexistent (just over 70 yards at less than three yards a carry, sacks removed) until Frank Clark came in and busted a zone read huge. Whatever Purdue tried they got nowhere with thanks in part to Martin dominating but also thanks to excellent edge play(!) from Ryan and Mattison putting his players in positions to succeed. After the screen touchdown Mattison pushed all the right buttons.
Purdue Postgame Presser Transcript: Players
Denard Robinson and Fitzgerald Toussaint
Denard, can you talk about re-establishing the running backs? Denard: "First of all, our offensive line played a great game, and once Fitz got the ball in the open field, he made things happen."
Fitz, can you talk about the long touchdown run and what you saw? Toussaint: "I just saw daylight. Coach Jackson always stresses, when you see a crease, shoot through it like a cannon. That's what I did, and credit goes out to the offensive line for creating that for me."
Talk about focus you had coming up to this week? Denard: "We knew we had to bounce back this week. Everybody prepared hard, and everybody was ready. We did what we had to do. That was a great team we faced."
Do you enjoy the diversity of the offense, and are you excited about how it gets so many of your teammates involved? Denard: "I think I was excited about everybody. Everybody that watched the game was excited, and I'm in it, so I'm loving it."
Fitz, you look like you found an extra gear. Did the bye week help you get healthier? Toussaint: "A lot of it was to get off my feet more and get a little bit more treatment on my body for me to be healthy for this game."
Does this game show that you can be the lead back for Michigan? Fitz: "I still feel like we have to go out there every Tuesday and throughout the whole week to just compete. All the running backs."
Fitz, on your touchdown run, what was the moment you knew you were going to go all the way? Toussaint: "There wasn't really a moment. I … kind of just saw it and hit it."
At what point did you know that Taylor had sprung you? Toussaint: "I really can't even remember the moment. It just happened so fast." Did anyone touch you at all? "I have no clue. I'm just happy that the line opened up the hole for me."
Denard, can you talk about being 7-1 and it could be anyone's division to win? Denard: "We just have to focus on this team, Michigan. We have to come out ready to play every weekend because [in] the Big Ten there's always competition. That's what we have to do every week."
Fitz, can you talk about what it feels like walking off the field this week compared with how it felt two weeks ago? Toussaint: "Every team faces adversity. It's not really how you have adversity. It's really how you respond to it. We knew we had two weeks to get prepared for this game, and we did what we had to do."
Denard, you guys have gone against the Michgian defense in practice. What's different about it this year? Denard: "Well, everybody holding each other accountable. That's the biggest thing. If the cornerbacks don't play good defense the D-line won't get pressure. So everybody holding each other accountable."
Fitz, in the deuce packages, how do you guys see defenses playing that? Toussaint: "It's kind of hard to play it because when you have your best athletes in the game, it's kind of hard to really actually practice that formation. I think it's kind of hard."
Can you guys talk about how tired you are of hearing about people waiting for the Michigan collapse? Toussaint: "We really just focus on going out there and preparing every week for Saturday." Robinson: "We don't really care about what other people think. It's about this team. Team 132."
Denard, do you feel half the defense going with you on the jet sweep fakes? Denard: "Coach Fred -- Freddy J -- he told us one good fake equals two blocks. I just run full speed and hope somebody runs with me."
Mark Huyge and Craig Roh
Mark, how much did you emphasize the run in practice the past couple of weeks? Huyge: "Well it's always an emphasis. One of our main goals is to get some tailback yardage, too, and really put it on that, because when we can get our tailbacks out and take some pressure off Denard, that's a big thing, and that's a big key to our success on offense."
Mark, how hard is it for you to shuffle the offensive line and still produce the way you did? Huyge: "Well even in practice and throughout the couple years here since all the guys have been here, we've been playing next to each other. I know I've been on both sides. Ricky, Mike Schofield, Patrick Omameh, they're all going back and forth, right and left sometimes. It's not really that big of a deal, though. We have pretty good chemistry up front, and it showed."
Craig, when you see Mike Martin produce the way he did, how does that alter your own attitude? Roh: "Well, that guy is just a physical beast. He's a very dominating player. When you see that, you're like, 'I can do that.' It's cool to see him because you're like, 'That guy's right next to me, and I know he's going to beast his guy, so I have to beast my guy.' "
Craig, what changed after that first touchdown? Roh: "We just made a few adjustments. Usually in games, offenses come out with a few tweaks here and there. We just adjusted and we came down and played Michigan defense."
After the last game, did you feel like the offensive line was under a lot of scrutiny? Huyge: "We didn't get it done in that game. The key was to move on as quick as possible from that, make the necessary adjustments. We were under a little bit of pressure, but we knew if we played our game and executed to how we're capable, we'll be just fine."
Craig, what was discussion like after the first touchdown, and what were the adjustments? Roh: "We knew everything was okay. They scored a touchdown. We never want that, but we weren't freaking out or anything. We were like, "Okay, let's just settle down and play Michigan defense.' "
Was that the most confident you've seen Fitz? Huyge: "I think he was just himself. I didn't really see anything that stood out. I know he had a couple big runs there and that one long run when he cut it back. I was really impressed with that because he found the opening and got some good blocks downfield. Steve Watson threw a great block to spring him." You said he was just himself. What does that mean? "He's actually a pretty sarcastic guy. He's always trying to start stuff with me, and then he'll back off right away. He's just a cool guy." He does this in games? "No, not in games."
You're 7-1, tied for division lead heading into November. What's your feeling about that, and what's your motivation? Roh: "We just need to keep improving and play the way we know how to play. We can win every game here." Huyge: "That's just the main thing. One game at a time."
Mark, can you talk about Taylor Lewan's toughness? Huyge: "Obviously Taylor is a pretty tough guy. He's been banged up before. He just keeps fighting through it. I know in the game I remember him saying he might have gotten rolled up on a couple of times, which happens, but he just kept fighting through it."
Craig, can you talk about the effectiveness of your perimeter defense? Roh: "Offenses are going to look at tape and if one thing works the offense is going to do that, but that's something that we're working on as a defense to be tougher on that perimeter."
How much of a focus was that in practice? Roh: "I mean the focus is always on technique and perimeter defense comes from good technique and aggressive playing. I think that was more of the focus than just perimeter defense. We take unbelievable pride -- this whole entire defense takes pride in perimeter defense and inside defense. Really everything."
Mark, can you talk about the challenges of flipping from right tackle to left tackle when Taylor went out? Huyge: "I've played both in my career and I do it in practice a lot, too. It's not too difficult. Sometimes it takes a little bit, a few plays to adjust. I feel confident I can do that."
What was Taylor's demeanor while he was trying to soldier through the game? Huyge: "He was just saying that, 'I'm going to stay in, and let's go.' I mean, yeah, he wasn't going to get pulled out."
Craig, on the safety, were you looking for the safety, and how much of a turning point was that? Roh: "I mean, you're looking for the offensive set. You're looking for the tendencies coming off of that. When you have them pinned back, that's always on the forefront of ... you front that that is a possibility. When Mike Martin got that safety, I couldn't be any happier."
Craig, what is your definition of Michigan defense? Roh: "Michigan defense is just dominating everything. And every aspect of life. That's a rough definition."
Does anything change for you guys when Marve comes into the game? Roh: "I mean we just keep playing our technique. Keep playing our defense the way we know how to play it. We adjust somewhat to personnel."
After Devin's interception, you turned to the power play and the run game. Huyge: "We like to run the ball as an offensive line. I'd personally rather run than pass. It's fun to get going. When the offensive line gets it going, the running backs running hard, it's a fun thing."
During the off week, was there anything special you paid attention to that paid dividends today? Roh: "I just thought technique. We just focused on technique and played hard-nosed Michigan football." Huyge: "Just improving from last game and getting back to the fundamentals and basics of football."
Hoke said he wanted to challenge the offensive line. How did he challenge you guys? Huyge: "All of our practices are pretty physical, and that's one thing where we try to go out and hit people. Sometimes we're a little -- I don't want to say tentative, but it looked like on film. We did not get it done, and we needed to just go out and just play as hard as we could."
Mike Martin and Courtney Avery
That safety -- kind of a defensive lineman's dream, eh? Martin: "Van Bergen did a good job with giving me a little bit of a presnap idea of what they were going to do. We were looking for a few things, but he did a good job of where they were going to slide the protection, and when it came down to it, we were just aggressive off the ball, and good things happened."
On the play following the touchdown, did you feel like the defense needed to step up? Martin: "Yeah. This defense is great with responding to adversity whether it's a sudden change -- whatever it might be -- or we get scored on, which we never want that to happen. But we did a great job of coming to the sideline and regathering and knowing that we had to play better defense, and that's what we did. We responded well. Period."
Craig defined the defense as dominating every aspect of life. Do you have different definitions? Martin: "Playing Michigan defense, and coach Hoke says it all the time and Coach Mattison -- it's really playing with the mentality that first of all no one can run on you. No one can run the ball. You have to have that as a defensive line, up front, as a whole, as a defense. When they pass, getting to the quarterback. Really just getting 11 hats to the ball every single play with the effort that's just crazy. I think we did that today. We'll watch the film, have improvements, and we'll get better for next weekend." Avery: "Going off what Mike said, from the secondary's standpoint, we want to keep everything inside and in front and then just get 11 hats and pursuing like crazy to the ball."
Why is this team better equipped to handle the second half of the season? Martin: "Well, our mentality every single day when we take the practice field, whether it's on a Tuesday or Wednesday, any work day during the week, watching the film -- we just have the mentality that we want to get better. Every single day. This defense is hungry to get better. We have young guys, stepping up, playing. That's what it's all about. We're just going to keep on taking positive steps forward, and from this point on every single game is a championship game for this program."
That easy touchdown was the first of the year. Avery: "I just feel we didn't attack it as well as we would like to and we didn't cup it as well as we would like to, but we made some adjustments and coach brought us over to the side and told us just to attack it and that's what we did. We stopped that play later on during the game."
Mike, you got the safety in the first quarter, but then in the fourth quarter when they were backed up in their own endzone again, you got called offsides. Did you get a little trigger happy on that one? Martin: "Well, the mentality of our defensive line is getting off the ball. That was definitely all my fault and I was really trying to get a good jump on the ball, which is what you try to do every single snap. I should have been smarter on my part of it knowing they were going to do it in the black. I just have to get better on my half of it. Coach talked to me about it, and I didn't do it again." So it was because they did something with the snap count? "Yeah, they got me. They did a good job with that."
Mike, after the Michigan State game, Hoke said he was going to challenge the offensive line. Did you notice anything different in the way they practiced? Martin: "Yeah, that was probably a big part of it. They did a great job of executing, and really it's because of how good of a look we gave them during the bye week. We played really physical in our bye week. It wasn't lackadaisacal, take-a-week-off-because-we-have-a-week-off type of practices. We were going after each other, and we were giving each other the best looks we could up front, and it showed on the game field today."
Hoke praised Mike's tackle 16 yards downfield. He said that means something. Courtney, what does that mean? Avery: "It just goes back to the effort and pursuing to the ball. You just have to keep fighting and the ball's not the endzone until it's in the endzone." Does it help the rest of the defense to see a guy hustle like that? "Oh definitely. …"
There's been a lot of questions about the defense. After eight games, do you feel like those questions have been answered? Martin: "You know, every week's going to be a test for us. There's always going to be people saying different things about our defense, but the most important thing is really the guys that are in that locker room. The guys that are in that team defensive room. Those are the most important guys. We're going to play for each other. Courtney and myself and everyone else in that defensive room, including the coaches, we're all in this thing together. We just have to make sure that we control what we can, which is how we play, every single week."
Courtney, can you talk about your interception and the ability of this defense to make stops? Avery: "That's a great thing about our defense. It just seems when we have our backs to the wall, we seem to rise to the challenge. With the interception, they ran that play before, and they got a big play out of it. Coach brought us to the sideline, told us to attack that, so I just did what the coach said and attacked it and it came out good for us."
Is it different to feel like there's something to play for in November other than just pride? Martin: "Yeah, time's flown by. Senior year and this year for this team is huge. November is championship football for us. Going from month to month, we know we have to get better. Week by week, I think we've done that. Sometimes we haven't taken the biggest steps forward that we want to, but we've gotten better, period. I'm confident that we'll continue to do that. These games coming up, we've got Iowa away. That's going to be a great test for us as a team and as a defense to respond in a high-[stakes] environment. That's going to be a battle for us."
Courtney, how did Blake Countess play today? Avery: "Blake's been solid in practice, and during the game he looked really good. He's coming along, he's improving, he's working hard. He's a hard worker."
Courtney, you said Purdue got a big play earlier in the game using the same play on which you got the interception. Was that the touchdown pass on their first drive? Avery: "Yes, sir." How close was the ball to hitting the ground?"It was pretty close. He bobbled it actually twice, and then once I got it, it was pretty close to the ground, yes sir."
How close was this game to Michigan football on both sides of the ball? Martin: "I think coach probably said he hasn't seen the film yet, but he probably said that we played with great effort … But I say the same thing. I just know period that we were busting our butts to the ball, we had guys doing whatever they could to make a play. You're never going to play a perfect football game. That's going to happen. The thing's that's important is to take steps forward every single week. We'll look at the film and make sure that we correct those things and play even harder next week." What about the offense? "They were playing their butts off. The thing we've gotten better as a team is complementing each other. Offensively, them holding onto the ball, time of possession, running the football, putting points on the board. And then us getting the ball back to our offense. They were playing physical and it showed on the scoreboard, period."

A controversy over Tom Perkins? Blame the mediaFebruary 18, 2014: 2:15 PM ET
Newspapers and news television shows are to blame for the venture capitalist's controversial views -- which means they are working exactly as intended.
FORTUNE -- It is immutably true that to a hammer everything looks like a nail. To me these days, every conversation devolves into a lesson about the power of media.
Much ink has been spilled -- and yes, I mean for you to ponder my metaphor for at least a moment -- about my interview last week with Tom Perkins, the 82-year venture capitalist now being vilified for his various right-wing or libertarian views, depending on the charity of the name-caller. The video went viral, and all manner of publications from Esquire to The Atlantic to the New York Times weighed in on some of the things Perkins said.
For now, though, I'm not interested in what Perkins said about gun laws, voting rights, equating wealth with creativity, or the failures of the War on Poverty. What really interests me for the moment is what Perkins told me in the green room about his newspaper reading habits. In fact, they are the same as mine: He reads three papers a day: The San Francisco Chronicle, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. The first he reads because he lives in San Francisco and feels the need to know what's going on locally. The second he reads because it is the U.S. paper of record for news around the world -- though he abhors the paper's politics, which he sees reflected in the news pages, an opinion I don't share. The third he reads because if you're in business you must read the Wall Street Journal every day, and I quite agree.
MORE: Tom Perkins: Obama is 'amateur president'
This must all seem old fashioned to many people reading this online. And yet, I came to realize last week that the entire hullabaloo Perkins has caused is a direct result of his newspaper-reading habits. The local paper, the Chronicle, annoyed Perkins by writing what he perceived to be unfair comments about his former wife and current friend, the bestselling author Danielle Steel. (The Chronicle's Chuck Nevius nicely summarizes his paper's role in antagonizing Perkins.) Perkins responded by penning his now famous letter to the Journal. (He is revising the history a bit, by the way: He said in his letter he was responding to an editorial in the Journal.) Shortly after his letter appeared, Bloomberg TV invited him on air to discuss it, and his comments about the price of his wristwatch and other things caused an uproar. Then the Commonwealth Club of California extended another invitation and asked me to interview him.
My point is that none of this would have happened -- the public discussion, the fracas over one man's comments, the sheer entertainment value -- if not for the role of the news media. Specifically, the local newspaper, warts and all, was critical to prodding Perkins's thinking. Its architecture critic and city columnist got Perkins thinking. As a prominent citizen, he took his gripe to the national media, and then allowed a local public-affairs forum -- another form of local media -- to air out his views further.
Whether or not I agree with Perkins -- I mostly don't -- I commend his news reading habits and his instincts for controversy and public discourse. I can't for the life of me figure out how other intelligent people in my city, young and old, get by without reading a paper. And I meet people every day who don't. Criticize the Chronicle all you like, and it's not the country's best paper, but every day it's writing about San Francisco. Just today I read over my morning coffee in the print edition a wonderfully contrarian article about a working-class neighborhood in San Francisco, the Excelsior, whose merchants want rich techies to move in and boost economic activity and property values. My daughter played soccer in a field near the Excelsior, and at a season-ending celebration at a hole-in-the-wall pizza joint there recently I wondered to myself if this neighborhood was next to gentrify. This article got me thinking more about my city, and that's what a paper should do.
MORE: Perkins: 'Extreme' taxes is persecution
(By the way, I never would have seen it if weren't splashed on the front page, a decision made by an editor. Because I didn't know I was particularly interested in the Excelsior, it wouldn't have surfaced on an RSS feed or Flipboard or even necessarily via the now-you-see-it/now-you-don't function of the Chronicle's homepage.)
Some will say I'm grumpy about the fate of "old" media. Or that only old guys like me and even older guys like Tom Perkins read newspapers anymore.
I'm not grumpy at all. I'm excited. I see the opportunities here because I know that the media still provides a role in keeping our society vibrant. We'll figure it out. In the meantime, how crazy is it to suggest that voting rights be awarded proportionally with income-tax payments?

text: Current Programs of the O'Connell Professorship OPENING THE CLASSROOM O'Connell Programs for 2011-2014 Maura Brady, O'Connell Professor Most of our work as teachers takes place inside the classroom with our students, with the door firmly (if figuratively) shut. While there are sound pedagogical reasons for this, it has the disadvantage of leaving us mostly in the dark about how our colleagues teach. As we move toward implementing a new Core Curriculum, we will need to draw on our own collective resources as a faculty. The O'Connell programs for 2011-14 will present opportunities for faculty to share materials and ideas, discuss scholarly and pedagogical practices, and open our classrooms to one another, both literally and figuratively, so that we can pursue curricular and pedagogical innovation in the years to come. These programs will focus on helping faculty develop the pedagogies that are highlighted for further development in the new Core: writing instruction, interdisciplinary inquiry, and lecture. As currently envisioned, the O'Connell programs include: a faculty writing retreat, in development for summer '12, with workshops and discussions about the writing process with Dr. Ned Stuckey-French, a nonfiction writer and professor of writing at Florida State University; workshop for faculty developing new writing instructive courses for the core and in the majors; workshop on current interdisciplinary practices and how to build on these as we develop new interdisciplinary courses; and a faculty lecture series designed to illuminate the pedagogies of lecture. There will also be some funds available for sponsorship of activities related to these programs (e.g., speakers, events, panels). If you would like to request funding, please send a brief proposal to email@example.com. Proposals should indicate specific points of connection with the programs of Opening the Classroom, and the ways in which proposed activity will benefit the faculty at large.
