5 days 2 hours ago | He got |
He got away with Dakich and Lonergan on the court together for a stretch. I think they were even +2 together, and then he brought Spike in for Dakich, after he got a quick rest. I then expected him to bring back at least one of Irvin or Rahkman, but he stuck with Kam and Lonergan for the rest of the half. That 9 point halftime deficit pretty much ended any shot we had in that game. Really just inexcusable. I know he's a great coach, but this is an issue year in and year out. |

10 weeks 5 days ago | It seems |
It seems to me the real hold up here could be the difference between Harbaugh getting fired and Harbaugh having his contract bought out. It's an unusual situation in that the 49ers mgmt wants to fire him, but he is going to have excellent offers on the table. So it seems that neither one would want to make the first move because then they lose a lot of money (maybe not Harbaugh but either the 49ers or Michigan). Is this plausible? |

Plus he's an arrogant prick who whines about every call. Do people think Buckeyes were fans of Urban Meyer before they got him? Of course not. We want Harbaugh because he is a great coach. It does help that he played for Michigan, and there are some good traits that come along with his bad ones, namely, he seems to stick to a clear personal code, but I think these reasons for why we want him are secondary to his success. If he doesn't come, he'll still be an arrogant prick. |

I think there is a much more legitimate case for saying RR could have been given another year than Hoke. I'm not saying RR should have gotten that extra year, just that I think Hoke's situation is all that much more clear. RR started with less and at least had a better trajectory. RR was at least a genius on one side of the ball. Someone can argue RR's defense ~ Hoke's offense, which fine. But Hoke's defenses have been mediocre to solid, which pales in comparison to RR's offense. Hoke has also been given one more year and received full support from alumni, players, and former players (until now). He's fielded good recruiting classes. He's done everything but win, and it seems to be that is because he is simply incompetent. |

Really is a great city but the two drawbacks you list are the two I'd list. There's great food (and great cheap eats), there's a great bar scene with a number of different areas each with their own style, there are always some sort of fun events going on, there's of course the music which includes a number of festivals and good local music, there are good movie theaters, and then the most surprising to me was all of the outdoor and water related activities. Now if food, music, and hiking, swimming, etc. aren't high on your list, I think you would be missing out on some of the best that Austin has to offer. Regardless, it has a nice big city feel without being too big and has good people from all over. Housing is going up quickly but still much better than DC, NYC, or California. I think it's unlikely I'll spend my life here with the heat and being a northerner at heart, but if I were to spend my life south of the Mason Dixon line, it would be here. |

1 year 14 weeks ago | Playcalling |
Playcalling seemed okay, certainly not great, but at least decent by Borges standards. But blocking still horrible, Gardner is a mess, WRs dropped a number of big passes. It's just a clownshow. So it doesn't really matter to me whether it's the playcalling or not. Either way the offense is a disaster and Borges simply needs to go. |
1 year 15 weeks ago | What if |
What if Gallon missed some practice, or Gardner, or Lewan, or Ryan, or Clark? Do you think they wouldn't play? Seems like Hoke would have phrased things differently if he simply wanted to say Fitz couldn't play because of injury. |
1 year 15 weeks ago | My question too |
esp since Brian's a big DFW fan. |
1 year 16 weeks ago | Hypothetical |
Hypothetical: Say you're a fan of this team and you pay a lot of money each year to see them play. This team has shown for 1.5 years absolute ineptitude at running the football. Now say you're in a tight game and get a critical turnover deep in the opponent's territory. You've had some success passing the ball and you're averaging about 1 ypc on rush attempts over the last game and a half. Well, naturally your offensive coordinator dials up two straight runs to set up 3rd and nine. You go on to kick a field goal and end up losing by 4. Now say this is essentially a pattern for three years. Does the fan have any legitimate gripe or should s/he just be happy that they could experience such an event because in someways it was legitimately mind blowing? |
1 year 16 weeks ago | Great |
Irrelevant. My post was not on how best to contact DB, it was on whether fans should feel any justification in being upset in the program or whether they should always just always feel blessed. You're right though, I'm sure DB would take my call. |

In that case. Give Borges a raise and increase ticket prices! This is Michigan fergodsakes. Can't wait for App State next year. #wow |
1 year 16 weeks ago | I hate arguments |
I hate arguments that suggest fans don't deserve anything -- that they should just be happy and feel blessed to attend a game in the big house. In reality, people pay serious money to attend these games. I'm not defending booing the team, I wouldn't personally boo unless there were a way to isolate my boos directly for Borges' ears, but nevertheless, this is a business. Fans pay for a product. If no changes are made to the coaching staff, plus the worst home slate in history and increasing prices, I think fans have rights to complaints. It doesn't make them entitled assholes, it makes them people who wonder whether a plane ticket and a $100 ticket is worth watching nonsense. At least we have a new digital billboard outside the stadium. |

1 year 16 weeks ago | JB |
JB said he would shut down McGary until B10 play if it came to that. Seems like nobody really knows (including McGary himself and the coaches), so at this point I'm just hoping he's ready to go for conference play. I can handle dropping a game or two to Iowa St or Duke, as unpleasant as that sounds. |
1 year 16 weeks ago | Completely |
Completely disagree about McGary vs. Robinson. People are saying Burke created all of McGary's baskets but if anything he created more shots for Robinson. Robinson's shots have either been assisted threes or assisted dunks. He is an incredible athlete with a solid, hopefully improving, shot but to date, hasn't shown any ability to beat his man off the dribble. I'd say Nik and Levert are both more capable. People just think he looks the part (not to mention he has the right last name) with his body type and freakish hops. If you want to question whether McGary can continue playing at a level as he did in the tourney, fine. But his level of play in the tourney was outstanding. Not only does he make all the hustle plays, he can lead a fastbreak, he was developing a midrange jumper, and could beat a man from the free throw line. He's very athletic and has great body control. There's a good reason why he's preseason all american. If he's healthy this year, he's the reason I think our team is a little underrated at the moment. |
1 year 17 weeks ago | You're not |
You're not telling me anything I don't know. My point is there are a lot of potential contributors there and it's not unreasonable to get production out of RS sophs. Bottom line this is a historically bad OL and last year's was poor at best. If you want to chalk that up simply to youth fine but it's not like we're lacking in supposed talent, so I think it goes beyond that. |
1 year 17 weeks ago | I don't think |
I don't think you do. Maybe not call zone read on 3rd and 2 in red zone. But real question is, can this performance really be blamed on simply youth when we have a great pair of tackles, a seemingly decent glasgow, a 5 star RS frosh and then bryant, bars, bosch, magnuson, miller? Forget about the rushing game, we were playing 6 OL at times with fitz in pass pro and they were getting to DG. Something is seriously seriously wrong. |
1 year 18 weeks ago | Thank You |
It's all about execution. Just call the plays you want to be able to run and expect your players to execute perfectly because this is Michigan. Football is a game of establishing your will, so it doesn't matter what the defense is doing. We aren't going to rely on gimmicks. We're going to execute our game plan. Sincerely, Al Borges and Brady Hoke |
1 year 18 weeks ago | Correction |
Weellll, that goes without saying. |
1 year 18 weeks ago | Yes |
Yes, I'm "freaking out" over one game by expressing anything short of unbridled enthusiasm and blind praise for the coaching staff. Thanks for your straw man argument and insightful addition to this conversation. While we only lost one, which was lost by the coaches, we also essentially won on a coin flip outcome to one of the worst teams in FBS, had a dogfight with another one, and were thoroughly unprepared for IU's spread. Meanwhile, we are on something like offense iteration #29 and our fourth LG. What did we do all fall? |
1 year 18 weeks ago | And |
And I'm concerned he's playing a significant role in it. |
1 year 18 weeks ago | I agree |
I agree that there are way too many people overreacting to single game outcomes and panicking and those people do bring down the overall quality of discussion, but I do think there are some legitimate concerns with consistency. And I don't think that it can be entirely attributed to youth. |
1 year 18 weeks ago | Do you |
Do you have any reservations about Hoke? Do you think it's possible to be excited about some aspects of our program (primarily recruiting) and worry about other things (refusal to modernize our punting, late game clock management, offensive identity/philosophy)? |
1 year 18 weeks ago | Doesn't explain |
Doesn't explain inexplicable game plans that result in losses to significantly inferior opponents (Iowa 2011, PSU 2013) and nearly losing to Akron. Doesn't explain repeatedly trying to institute offensive schemes that our personnel can't run before reverting, out of desperation, to schemes we are quite effective at. We don't have the talent and experience to be a top 5 program, but we should be a 7-0 team. |
1 year 18 weeks ago | They |
They are expecting CB blitz and call a run directed at hiim with Lewan picking him up. They just were wrong about the blitz. It makes absolutely no sense that they are optioning off the CB and sending a run blocker out there for him who then doesn't block him when he doesn't blitz. |

We don't appreciate your sarcasm. Shouldn't you be putting... at night... with the 15 year old daughter of the dean? |
1 year 19 weeks ago | Lol |
Come on man. You're telling me the playcalling was the same? Just look at the first two drives, including the first three and out. FWIW I don't necessarily blame Borges for PSU gameplan, I still think Hoke may force his hands at time. |
1 year 20 weeks ago | It's |
It's easier for people to just blame Borges rather than consider that our issues might be a bit more systemic and further reaching. There was a time when Schafer was the reason for our terrible defense and not something deeper... |
1 year 20 weeks ago | Or |
Or that he can never give a straight answer in a presser. But you tell me, you think we came out with same game plan in the second half? You think we thought things were going pretty well? Let's just keep trying the same thing? |
1 year 20 weeks ago | I don't |
I don't know how Hoke can claim they had the same gameplan going into the second half as the first. They clearly did not on either side of the ball. Started bringing more pressure on defense. Started passing on first and/or second downs. Went to more zone read. Stopped most of the unbalanced line stuff. More than anything, it was the game plan going into this game, which I mostly blame Hoke for, that cost us this game. We pretty much dominated the second half when we resorted back to things that we are actually good at rather than the things we wish were good at. |
1 year 20 weeks ago | Offense |
Offense depends on how long we try to establish the things that we are worst at before resorting to doing the things we're best at. Seems like Hoke and Borges like to try at least a half of the former before moving on to the latter. |
1 year 20 weeks ago | Double |
your pleasure. Double your fun. |
1 year 20 weeks ago | To me |
To me, manball seems similar to RR imposing 3-3-5 on his DCs, which is why I blame Hoke more than Borges. That first half game plan, on both sides of the ball, was really unbelievable. Our two biggest weaknesses are our OL rush blocking and our defensive pass rush. So our approach is 3 man rushes on critical downs and run after run into a stacked box? As always, we were forced to abandon manball and start getting far more aggressive on our pass rushes, and shockingly, when you try to play to your strengths rather than your weaknesses, we dominated the half. Until of course the end. So how does Hoke factor in? While he might not do much during the game, he certainly is involved, I would hope leading, establishing the game plan during the week. And then he is clearly involved at the end of the game with time out management, deciding whether to grind out the clock, deciding whether to just kick without going for a first down, etc. And he absolutely massively failed on every single on of those elements. |

I think Pelini has to win the division to keep his job. The fact that he is extremely unlikeable doesn't help his case either. |
1 year 22 weeks ago | 8-4 |
I'd say worst case scenario, barring key injuries, is 8-4. People are forgetting that we destroyed CMU and torched ND's defense (and while ND lost yesterday, it was strictly because of Rees ints, not defense). People are forgetting how good Devin looked last year. People are forgetting just how bad the B10 is outside of OSU (luckily we don't play Wisco). People are forgetting that we have a pretty good defense. People are forgetting that we are about to get Jake Ryan back. People are forgetting that OSU should have lost to Cal and Purdue last year but instead went undefeated. |
1 year 22 weeks ago | It's all |
It's all relative though. The big ten frankly sucks. I thought 10 wins +/-1 going into the season, thought more like 10-11 post ND, so at least going undefeated regular season didn't seem that wacky. But I also never thought that we could compete with a Bama, Georgia, Clemson, Oregon caliber team. Even now though, we've had two very strong performances and two awful ones, and 90% of it is whether DG is turning it over. Obviously the OL is struggling with consistency, but with their youth their is some hope for the season. DG is a wildcard. Regardless, we're looking at a PSU team who already lost once, Nebraska, who is a shit show (Pelini will probably get axed), MSU, who can't score points with their offense, and finally NW, who is one dimensional in the opposite sense of MSU. Anyone talking about 7-5, 8-4 seasons needs to realize that Mich has the most potential of anyone in our division and Gardner has previously shown that he can take far better care of the ball than he has the majority of this season. |

1 year 32 weeks ago | Follow up: probability fun |
Maybe 4 losses isn't that unlikey. For the sake of argument, let's say we have 6 games of 50% win probability (nd, psu, msu, neb, nw, osu), which is quite conservative, but then let's balance that by saying we have 100% win probability in the remaining games. Based on this scenario, we have a 34% chance at 4 or more losses, assuming I can still put my undergrad probability course to good use. |

1 year 39 weeks ago | FWIW |
I unforunately have too many OSU friends, as I live far from home, but here's my take on what they actually think about these various people (please note: these are not my opinions). Tressel was a good guy and a great coach who was a victim of circumstance, maybe a bit like Fisher. Gee is/was funny. Pryor was sort of a douche who was pretty strongly disliked by the time he was trying to get in the draft or the extended draft, whatever it was. People were skeptical of Urban, keep in mind the Bucks are not too fond of Florida, upon the hiring but were tolerant of the move because of his obvious pedigree. He has since won them over. They also think they are still way better than us with their undefeated season and that the best we could do is "barely beat" them two years ago. Personally, I honestly bet we beat them the next three seasons. |

2 years 7 weeks ago | Right |
You mention when it actaully might be better to go beneath a screen, and that's if the ballhandler is a much bigger threat to penetrate than connect from outside. |
2 years 7 weeks ago | Advantage/Disadvantage |
Players are almost always taught to go over a screen no matter whether the other defender is hard or soft hedging. I'd say the danger in soft hedging is that with a good screen, you are actually more likely to give up an open 3. I believe the Nebraska coach was quoted saying as much and was basically gambling that Burke wouldn't be hot from 3. |

"12-0 teams generally don't have this many question marks coming into the season." I can name two this past season: ND and OSU. 9-3 would be pretty disappointing given the schedule. |
2 years 7 weeks ago | The punt interference was |
The punt interference was a terrible call. The ND player did all that was physically possible to avoid (and he did avoid contact) the returner after he gave the late fair catch signal. It was his own teammate that got in the way. |
2 years 8 weeks ago | Clowney |
Clowney did get a holding call on Lewan and blew him up once late when he nailed Denard behind the LOS. But on the whole, Lewan at the least held his own. |

2 years 18 weeks ago | I would be shocked |
I would be shocked if Yogi isn't starting at PG from Day 1. That was by far IU's biggest weakness last year. Hulls was caught in a bit of a Stu scenario but would be far more effective at SG. |
2 years 18 weeks ago | M: 23, N: 14 |
Mich 23, Neb 14 |
2 years 19 weeks ago | Not that I actually care |
but I see no objective reason for either Stanford or South Carolina to be ranked ahead of us. Stanford "lost" to ND in OT and to Wash, who RR just destroyed last night. South Carolina lost to LSU and Fla. |
2 years 19 weeks ago | People have unrealistic expectations |
This is a good defense whether or not people want to admit it. Our wide outs are not good enough to beat their tight coverage on the outside as evidenced by Gardner falling over on one play and dropping a key pass on another. The bubble wasn't there because they put their corners 2 yards off the LOS. So they stack the box. Our whole offense this season has been based on the zone read and they were able to take it away for the most part. So what do you expect from Borges as a playcaller? Abandon everything? Air it out like ND? If we had executed better, and I don't mean just Denard, I mean Mealer on the screen to Toussaint on the second series, eliminating penalties, drops, this game would have been a reasonably comfortable victory. People thought going into ND that we should air it out. Their secondary was vulnerable. Denard had maybe improved his accuracy. It didn't work. Now we go relatively conservative and people jump all over Borges. The man can't win. All of that being said, I thought he was being a little overly stubborn in the 3rd quarter with the zone read, especially on first down. I think it was the second drive where, for example, he busted out the play action on 2nd down instead of 1st down and it got batted down. Regardless, I still have faith that the man knows what he's doing and I don't think people give him the credit he deserves from game to game adjustments. |
2 years 21 weeks ago | I'm not |
I'm not sure if that's accurate or not, but regardless we'll still be able to get a lot more minutes from the bench, even if it's only 3 people. |
2 years 24 weeks ago | You know who would never do this |
Canadians. |
2 years 26 weeks ago | So your argument is |
If you just ignore Alabama and LSU then the conferences are equal? That's like saying consider the B12 but ignore OU and Texas. Or the Pac12 and ignore USC and Oregon. There is absolutely no doubt that the SEC is considerably stronger than the B10. |

Adversity = Heisman? |
2 years 28 weeks ago | Not surprising, no. |
But his 2011 campaign was also pretty meh in comparison to his '10 ACC Rookie of the Year season. I imagine he'll serve their needs adequately but just thought it was worth adding that he will without a doubt be a step down from Wilson. |

that Horton had a terrific freshman year and we would have made the tourney that year had we been elligible. But If I had to vote for one player it'd probably be Sims. That performance vs. Duke at home was incredible, and I simply always liked him more than Manny. |

2 years 44 weeks ago | I wonder how conclusive |
the data are in showing "repetitive subconcussive impact" can lead to brain injury. Maybe he's just looking at a couple outliers. I really hope football is not at some sort of tipping point. It's hard to fathom it could all just disappear in the blink of an eye. |
2 years 44 weeks ago | I agree with everything you said |
but how can someone overachieve at the combine? I can see having an off day but not overachieving. It seems likely that his combine is possibly a better reflection of his NFL potentail than his college career that featured less than stellar QB play, 2 different offenses, and injuries. |
2 years 46 weeks ago | Ace's predicted line up |
is what I hope for, but I'm not sure. Tim's ball handling issues are obvious and as someone else pointed out, we really would be getting away from the perimeter oriented offense Beilein is associated with. That said, I have a feeling we are going to want GRIII playing ~ 30 mins, so JB is gonna have to find a way to get him on the floor with THJR. |
2 years 49 weeks ago | You completely misunderstood my post |
I clearly understand why he went to CMU. I know he was a big time recruit and I was disappointed by him not coming to Mich at the time, but what I was suggesting is that if he is not a NBA caliber player I'm not sure why he would want to go to Michigan, Duke, or MSU. UofD seems like an alluring option. Wasn't he friends with McCallum? |
2 years 49 weeks ago | I don't see why |
he'd want to go play at Duke or behind Appling or Burke, but man we really could use him. I don't see how it would work scholarship wise for us, but we could really use another ball handler and a bit more depth at guard even considering Stauskas. |
2 years 51 weeks ago | That was a poor performance |
but Iowa went 8-10 in B10. I don't consider them a bad team. |
2 years 51 weeks ago | The good news is |
we are going to be playing a bad team on Thursday or Friday. With the exception of Arkansas, which had sort of a flukish start, we haven't lost to a bad team all year. So we win that game and get some confidence. Then we likely play a team not familiar with our style of play and obviously this is where Beilein historically excels. This team is still in great shape to get to the Sweet 16. |
2 years 51 weeks ago | I was following |
Morris while he was getting pt and I noticed three things. (1) Even when he was on the court I felt like nobody gave him a chance to prove himself. It seemed like players didn't want to play for him, and once the ball was out of his hands it always seemed like players would only give it back to him begrudgingly. (2) They never ran the pick and roll with him, which was obviously his bread and butter. (3) While he wasn't shooting terribly from outside, the lack of respect defenders showed was pretty obvious and that is going to be his biggest challenge going forward. When, as a PG, someone can guard you by playing 5 ft off the ball, you're going to have a hard time getting past anyone. |
2 years 52 weeks ago | The only reason |
Michigan is #20 in kenpom is because they didn't destroy bad teams in the non-con. If that is the measure of a team then sure OSU, MSU, and Wisconsin are better. Also, the notion that winning close games is pure luck is just silly. Lastly, Michigan has been playing the best down the stretch of the co-champion group and with the Dawson injury I think we have the best chances in the real tourney. Not to mention that Beilein has always done well in the tourney and is notoriously difficult to prepare for with little time. |

I think it would be close, but only because of coaching. AAU ball tends to be glorified street ball, but if you had a well coached team of 9th grade all stars, I honestly don't think it would be close. |

3 years 10 weeks ago | When considering |
these penalties, I think people should also consider what OSU already lost. They lost their money from last year's bowl game, they lost their starting QB, they lost a number of players for multiple games, they lost their head coach, and they had a garbage season. All of those taken with the penalities announced today, and I don't really see how people think they got off light. It's also not the NCAA's fault that OSU managed to land Urban. |
3 years 10 weeks ago | If 9 |
scholarships is trivial, why do people complain so much about oversigning? Because it's not trivial. A bowl ban may not change a recruit's mind, but it surely is more than a slap on the wrist. Somehow I doubt the motive for the NCAA is to impose penalties large enough to ensure Dunn jumps ship. |

3 years 11 weeks ago | Nobody else can get to 10 wins |
Bears, Giants, Seahawks all at 7 wins. It's possible one win will get us through but that's a lot of tiebreaker scenarios to sort through. |
3 years 11 weeks ago | Not that it matters |
but it's odd that you sort your list of players by their rivals ranking and not their overall average, e.g. blake bars ahead of funchess. |
3 years 11 weeks ago | Why is |
Alan Greenspan involved? |
3 years 11 weeks ago | Yeah |
I think their ground game was definitely better this year but not great. Their unanimous 5* true frosh, Malcolm Brown, looked pretty good and probably will be very good. But like you said, he wasn't quite ready for just putting a game on his shoulders. They also have a speed demon type, Fozzy Whittaker, that they like to use for their gimmicky stuff, but he's not a true RB. |
3 years 11 weeks ago | Well |
so I actually live in Austin and went to a couple games and this year they actually had a pretty good defense and a lot of their issues were due to quarterback play, but I don't think it's to do with them being mobile or not. Little McCoy and Ash just aren't very good. And it will be interesting with respect to Brian's second topic to see how Harsin does at Texas since he was more of a system/gimmicky type guy at Boise and that stuff didn't seem to work at all this year for Texas. |
3 years 11 weeks ago | Two things |
1. Maybe the issue wasn't that Gilbert wasn't mobile but simply that he was a bust. 2. Maybe's Hoke's aggression this year was because he knew we weren't way better or more talented than a lot of our opponents, so he was more prone to gambling. Hopefully, that's not the case and it's simply his general philosophy. |
3 years 11 weeks ago | Well |
this situation is very different now since he knows who will be head coach. Unless we are pleasantly surprised with their sanctions, looks like it's over. |
3 years 12 weeks ago | Oh hey NCAA |
is it cool if the only real penalty we had to face, replacing our scumbag cheating ass coach, is mitigated by having our incoming coach, who has 2 national championships, do recruiting while the existing staff prepares for the bowl game we shouldn't be eligible for? Oh yeah, thats ok? Thanks. I'm glad you understand that unaccounted stretching is on the same level as paying players. |

3 years 13 weeks ago | Re |
Despite sitting in the first half, Hardaway had plenty of opportunities to impact the game in the second half and he didn't. You can argue that he would have found his rhythm in the first half but if he's hoping to be our star a first round draft pick, that's a poor excuse. Anyway, we lost that game primarily due to getting outmuscled (dominated on the boards) and pathetic defensive rotations. We gave up way too many open threes and they finally started to connect towards the end of the game. The offense was actually looking pretty good to start the second half despite Hardaway's struggles. Then we just completely collapsed. |
3 years 13 weeks ago | Sitting with two fouls |
First off, there is no doubt in my mind that having one of your key players in the last five minutes of the game is more valuable than having him for five minutes in the first half. Second, Hardaway still got 25 minutes and we did fine without him. So Hardway sitting had pretty much nothing to do with us losing. His poor performance probably did. All that said, I think you base your decision on sitting a player with two fouls based on how frequently they foul. If Morgan or Smot picks up two in the first half, sit them. If Burke or Hardaway picks up two, I'd probably let them go until they pick up three. |
3 years 14 weeks ago | Well |
OU's loss to TT was worse than Iowa but Baylor is ranked now, and they are a pretty decent squad, so it hardly matters whether they were ranked at the time. OU killed Texas and KSU and didn't have much trouble with FSU, so I'd say their wins are better. Plus their season isn't over, so if they beat OSU they deserve to be ahead of us, if they lose they deserve to be behind us. |

Jews living in Asia gathered near the Great Wall of China for the first-ever Limmud event in the world's most populous nation.
Sunday's program, run by Limmud International, drew nearly 100 Jews from Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mumbai, the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Israel, Britain and the United States.
Limmud, the open Jewish learning program, has held events in some 60 communities on five continents.
Sessions at the China event included Torah and Talmud text study; the role of women in Jewish community life; Chinese interest in Jews and Jewish communities; the history of the Bene Israel in India; the future of Jewish life in Asia, and a workshop on Asian-Jewish cooking.
There are an estimated 20,000 Jews living in East Asia. In China, up to 6,000 Jews live on the mainland and 4,000 Jews live in Hong Kong. Asia is made up both of long-standing, organized Jewish communities like those in India, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, and newer smaller communities comprised largely of business people and diplomats. Many Jewish organizations are active in Asia, and the China Limmud was supported by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
"This inaugural Limmud event in China is a powerful tribute to the determination of Jews throughout Asia to engage with Jewish learning and with Jewish community, overcoming vast distances and other hurdles," said Limmud International Co-Chair Helena Miller.

Dom Joly has got a bee in his bonnet about the "quote of the day" on the BBC news website. "Quote of the Day from David Tennant on the BBC Website.....gripping stuff....anyone else think he's a touch over-exposed?" asked Joly on Twitter. And later: "David Tennant's gripping quote still up as Quote of the day on BBC news Website - someone please say something interesting...quick." And then, earlier today: "David Tennant still up on BBC News Website for third day running with dullest quote of the day ever..." he tweets. Three days running? Well it IS Christmas. Anyway, here's the quote. "I remember having a big Scalextric and my auntie helping me build it - then I was upstairs for the rest of the day playing with it." Joly may have a point.

Last night I sketched you out yet again Your lost silence wrapped around my mind Your voice hovered, its spell soothing dizzy heights Chanting possibilities, in fevered distances Would you wake up to magic, I wonder Your freedom scarred by your own captive goals Wood-fires whisper waiting secrets, your warmth The enchantment spiralling, waiting for you to wake Forget your world please, for a brief eternity Our lives would soar, your destinations reworked I guard your time unknown, quenching riddles Hunt with me a while, till our mystery rests…

My Brother Knights, can you believe it? One-fourth of the year is already gone. Hopefully, you all are on the path to meeting all of your goals. Hopefully, one of those goals is achieving Star Council. Remember, it is our duty to offer every eligible Catholic gentleman an opportunity to join the Knights of Columbus.

Aston Villa have announced that talks regarding a possible loan agreement that will take Jean Makoun to Rennes are at an 'advanced stage'.
The Cameroon international has endured a frustrating 18 months on the books at Villa Park, and things do not look like getting any easier.
He was snapped up from Lyon in January 2011, with a number of clubs reported to have been keen on doing a deal.
Villa won the race for his signature, but Makoun struggled to settle in England and failed to shine on the Premier League stage.
With first-team opportunities dwindling, he was granted a season-long loan at Greek outfit Olympiakos in August 2011.
It appears that the 29-year-old will be heading for the exits once again this summer, with Rennes prepared to offer him a route back to France.
"Talks are at an advanced stage between Villa and French Ligue 1 side Rennes with a view to Jean II Makoun returning to France on a season-long loan," read a statement released on Villa's official website.

A comment on Can I Peak Your Interest, said, "there's also a basic supply and demand element to interest rates." (this guy). For better or for worse, this is a common misconception, due to treating cash as a commodity. It isn't. As Adam Smith, the real one, asserted, it exists only to simplify barter. Yes, currency arbitrage has been around at least since Jesus tossed out the money changers. That still doesn't mean that, in a functional economy, cash is anything more than WD-40. That's really all it is.
Where it gets a little more complicated, is in capital. Currency is fiduciary capital, whose only reason to exist is to buy physical capital, which economists have long referred to as plant and equipment/machinery. Until recently, anyway, when the quants on Wall Street invented new and bizarre ways to separate "investors" from their currency.
What determines supply and demand? In consumer goods and services, economists have long hung their argument on "utility": an iPhone or Hostess SnoBall or a visit to a massage parlor each bequeath to me some level of this "utility". It is the utility that justifies the payment. And this utility is in my head. The utility of the three legs of the survival stool; food, clothing and shelter, is easier to calculate. But most of what we consume these days is outside the realm of basic survival. For a bit longer, at least. In any case, the supply and demand idea applies here: the perceived utility sets the level of demand.
With physical capital, it's pure arithmetic. If a new plant or machine yields a 10% improvement in production, that's what I'll pay to have that plant or machine. A lower interest rate won't entice my to buy more of that plant or that machine, if there isn't a market for the widgets I'm making. A higher interest rate will compel me to say no. The interest rate is set by the physics and engineering of the plants and machines available to capitalists. In an ideal world, of course, and the one devised by the Wall Street Banksters is pretty far from that. But all they can do is distort the process, mostly to their advantage. The fact remains: the real rate of return on new plant and machines determines the interest rate. Since we've moved on to a Post Industrial Society (haven't we?), matters get a bit more complicated. If money is lent for purposes other than conversion to physical capital, what's the proper interest rate?
Ah, there's where the Banksters messed up. By convoluting the connection between cash and real investment (which broadens the definition to assets beyond simple plants and machines to include any amortizable purchase; I said it was a bit more complicated), they've been able to obscure the process.
By now most understand that Greenspan is Patient Zero of The Great Recession, when he caved interest rates under BushII. If ours were still an industrial economy, very low interest rates *would* have led to a surge of physical investment, since useful, but lower return, plants and machines become profitable. Rather than buying productive plants and machines, all that Greenspan cash ended up in housing CDOs. Why? Because it was viewed as being easier. Easier for two reasons: 1) there wasn't all that pesky stuff to keep track of and 2) the Banksters didn't have to go find capital intensive businesses to soak up the cash. Recall, much of the free cash was coming out of Asia, and profitable physical investments had already been transferred to Asia. Even the Chinese were looking elsewhere to stash (at a profit) all that cash.
Thus was born the subprime loan. And a short respite for the middle class from the debilitating effects of declining median income. The respite also happened to capitalists: while the Right Wingnuts among them rail against consumer debt, without it, all those cushy executive jobs would go the way of the dodo, along with the companies. As Eccles says, an industrial economy requires a way to absorb increasing productivity. If it doesn't get distributed as wage increases, other methods will be found. They were.
The problem from a capital allocation, macro-economic, point of view is that housing isn't capital investment. Housing is just serial consumption of that "utility" thingee. The home owner doesn't generate an economic return on his use of the house; he just lives there with Wifey and 2.2 mini-thugs. For what it's worth, China is finding itself in a housing frenzy, too. Again, not enough clever engineers figuring out better plants and machines. And if they did, there'd be still lower wages for workers to buy the widgets. Can't get away from the distributional collateral damage. Mortgages are supported by (median) income, and nothing else. They're not real investment.
So, back to the initial comment. A supply and demand answer to interest rates in capital is less true than for consumer goods just because the value of the use of capital (not the cash itself) is, with sufficient effort, exactly calculable. This is not true for most consumer goods, which are valued by intrinsic "utility". Thus, the interest rate is determined by the inventiveness of engineers to devise more efficient machines.
Absent, of course, Dr. Evil.
Because: for the 28 years from Reagan to BushII, the Right Wingnuts controlled at least 3 of the 4 branches of government for 22. What we have is the Eden of Fascism.
What we have is fascism; the difference between it and socialism: fascist governments tilt the economic playing field to benefit corporations, while socialist governments tilt it to benefit regular citizens, i.e. the 99%. Check Wikipedia.
The calculations take place all the time in corporations. It is well known in the trade that gross profit margins run in the 40% range. Gross profit is revenue minus direct cost of production; the latter includes labor costs. The fact that all those .1%-er tax cuts and interest rate drops didn't yield new physical investment is the indictment of "capitalism". It doesn't serve the economy or the society.
It's worth noting that "Wealth of Nations" and other works cited by the Right Wingnuts, discuss a world which doesn't exist now, and largely didn't exist then. The real world is monopoly, not free markets. The 18th century image of the Right Wingnuts is Rose Colored. The reality was that the White Folk plundered an Eden of resources (after killing off the pesky natives) not available in hated Europe. I heard a clip of one of the Right Wingnuts (Perry or Mitty, not sure) claiming that we aren't Europe. Guess again. We're just as crowded and resource scarce. That's what matters.
And while money isn't a commodity in quite the same way that a physical good is, there is still a certain level of supply and a certain level of demand. So why wouldn't normal market clearing principles act to have some effect on the rate of interest?
As I mentioned before, the 19th century US economy was, largely, one of specie currency, as was marked by continued deflation. We had a growing population, a virgin (to white folks, anyway) continent, and a growing economy. But, by and large, a fixed amount of specie. Price level fell over the century.
That's what, GE for instance, did: stop making stuff and go for financial services. One of the largest TARP welfare queens. Has gotten religion and gone back to making stuff.
The problem with purely fiduciary "investment" is that there is no connection to real world productivity. This disconnect is quite while the Great Recession was preceded by sub-primes, housing is un-productive "investment". The Smartest Guys in the Room decided that more money could be made by putting money into houses rather than machines. They were wrong.
As to currency-as-commodity, it's been tried over the centuries. Ultimately, whatever's defined as cash can be traded like real goods (and services), but it's eventually pointless. Value lies in real goods and services, not gold or coins and papah bills (as my German money and banking professor said).
The supply side view of investing, savers, doesn't work any more than supply side silliness works any where else. As TARP and the 0% Fed window have demonstrated, cash doesn't get converted into plant and machinery unless there's real productivity (which can be converted to greater sales to consumers) to be bought. You can't push a string.
My assertion is simple: no matter what the fiduciary markets think they can do, the rate of interest, ultimately, is set by real world productivity. One of the hallmarks (and economists have known this for decades) of a service economy is that capital has little impact, since so little is needed to conduct business. Understanding that leads to a clue why the Great Recession won't go away: even with near 0% interest, there's just no demand for the cash for real investment.
The Banksters created the subprime, high return, mortgage to satisfy the demand for a low responsibility (not having to find real physical investment opportunities) use of the cash. Inflation paranoia on the part of those who engage in mere financial "investing" is driven by the simple realization that there's "no there, there" backing up these "investments". Thus, the demand that the currency never inflate; deflation is even better. But these actors have no connection to real world productivity.
As to savers responding to higher interest rates by saving more, hasn't happened. The Chinese are heavy savers because the economy and culture don't support consumption, due mostly to really nasty distribution. In other words, Chinese families haven't sent us remnimbi because they want dollars. The cash has come our way because the Chinese government has extorted it from the citizens. Chinese government, and capitalists, need the American consumer more than we need China. Most of the stuff that comes from China is out of the realm of sustaining; mostly toys, literally and figuratively.
Typing this all into the teeny comment window may yield gibberish, since a train of thought longer than a nanosecond doesn't fit.

Attack on Lahore shrine raises concern about sectarian violence in Pakistan
Thousand of Pakistanis protested Friday after militants attacked a Lahore shrine. Debate is intensifying about the potential for a rise in sectarian violence.
K.M.Chaudary/AP Photo
Lahore, Pakistan
Thousands of Pakistanis took to the streets on Friday demanding better security for places of worship and a crackdown on extremists following twin suicide bomb attacks at the country's most famous Sufi shrine that have raised concerns about an increasingly sectarian cast to the country's violence.
But some analysts said it would be a mistake to characterize the recent spate of attacks as sectarian, given the one-sided nature of attacks thus far.
"We don't see violent attacks coming from the other groups. They are coming from one community," says Rasul Baksh Rais, head of political sciences at the Lahore University for Management Sciences, adding that the militants are finding themselves increasingly unpopular for carrying out such strikes.
Security was beefed up at mosques and shrines in the cities of Peshawar and Karachi, while protesters at the iconic Data Darbar shrine demanded that the provincial government of Punjab end its alleged sponsorship of terror groups.
Though the Taliban have officially denied responsibility for the attack, which killed at least 42, most analysts believe it to be the work of the so-called "Punjabi Taliban," an umbrella term used to describe a loose-knit alliance between various sectarian Punjabi militant groups that have in the past been sponsored by the Pakistani government and intelligence agencies.

Tell me the name is for a goddess,
capricious and deadly, who
mocks the afflicted in their dreams.
I might endure more graciously
if only this were a dream. It is
she who tosses fireballs of light
pulsating, flashing bright
and going dim in the blackness
behind these herniated eyes,
to devour while I hear the sustained
pitch of a sonic scream through
the static frequency of night air,
the peel and cry of her harpies
smelling of singed hair and brains;
the fever and sound rips through veins,
cauterizing shut the window for sleep,
leaving the frantic staccato of a
heart in flight, as I whisper
Goddess, why spare me the night.

My latest article on Personal Defense Network.
Pocket Autoloading Pistols for Personal DefenseSmall autoloading pistols, whether referred to as pocket pistols, hideout guns, backup guns, or mouse guns, get no respect. Frequently maligned by firearms trainers as too small, inaccurate, and not powerful enough, they are the red-headed stepchildren of the firearms community. Nonetheless, these little guns represent a major segment of the firearms sales market.

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin is suggesting that the United States is already delivering weapons to Ukraine.
At a news conference Tuesday in Budapest with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Putin was asked how he assessed the possible consequences if the United States decides to supply lethal weapons to Ukraine in its fight against Russian-backed separatists.
He answered that "according to our information, these weapons are already being delivered."
He said the new weapons for Ukraine could increase the number of victims but "the result will be the same as it is today. This is unavoidable."

The Expert View: Imagination, G4S and GlaxoSmithKline
A roundup of some of the best analyst commentary on shares, including Petrofac and Drax Group.
Deutsche Bank lifts target price for Imagination Technologies
Deutsche Bank analyst Johannes Schaller has increased his target price for Imagination Technologies (IMG.L) amid signs that Samsung may turn to the chipmaker for its latest smartphone.
'Over 2012 Imagination's share price underperformed the European Tech sector by 50%, partially due to IMG losing its mobile graphics design win at Samsung's highend Galaxy smartphone range to competitor ARM,' Schaller said.
'With IMG management commenting on re-gaining momentum at Samsung in FY14e (April end) and Samsung not confirming ARM as the graphics provider at the launch of its latest high- end smartphone processor, we are now getting more confident in potential share re-gains for IMG here.'
Schaller's target price rises from 520p to 600p.
Shares in the group closed at 527p on Wednesday, up 4.7p or 0.9%.

G4S bill: it could have been worse
JP Morgan analyst Robert Plant has reiterated his 'overweight' recommendation on G4S (GFS.L) after its final bill for messing up the Olympics security staffing came in well below the worst-case scenario.
The settlement with the London Olympic Committee will see G4S pay £88 million, which is higher than the £50 million initially taken as an exceptional last summer. However, Plant noted that it was much less than the £107 million worst-case scenario.
'Some politicians such as Keith Vaz, the chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, had demanded that G4S also hand back the £57 million management fee,' he added.
'We think the news is a small positive as it will help put the Olympic story behind G4S and the final settlement is smaller than it could have been. We have an Overweight on G4S and believe the shares will continue to recover as the negative from the Olympics fades,' he concluded.
Shares in the group closed at 283.7p on Wednesday, up 3.3p or 1.2%.

Drug approvals key for GlaxoSmithKline
Berenberg Bank analyst Alistair Campbell has reiterated his 'buy' recommendation on pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.L) in spite of its subdued outlook for the year ahead.
At its full-year results presentation last week GSK said that it expects earnings per share growth of 3-4%, with turnover growth of about 1%. The company also announced a £1.5 billion programme, which should generate annual savings of over £1 billion by 2016.
Calling the trading update a quiet start to an exciting year for the group, the analyst noted that approval of a raft of new drugs could galvanise the shares.
'Our investment thesis relies on GSK delivering the next leg of growth,' he said. '2013 will be key in terms of securing this future revenue through drug approvals – highlights include Relvar, dolutegravir, albiglutide and the BRAF/MEK inhibitors.'
Shares in the group closed at £14.55 on Wednesday, down 2p or 0.1%.

Give Petrofac another look, UBS urges
Investors shouldn't let gloom surrounding the oil engineering and construction market colour their view of Petrofac (PFC.L), according to UBS analyst Amy Wong, who has upgraded the group from 'neutral' to 'buy'.
'We think Petrofac has a solid business model within the onshore engineering & construction (E&C) end market,' she said. Her comments follow yesterday's decision by Italy's Saipem to trim its 2012 dividend by 2.9% after its oil services company slashed its earnings guidance.
'While Saipem's warning may have cast doubt on the business model, we think that Petrofac's portfolio of projects is profitable and the order intake momentum is strong and hence we upgrade the stock to Buy,' she added. Her target price rises from £15.75 to £18.75.
Shares in the group closed at £16.74 on Wednesday, up 51.4p or 3.2%.

Seymour Pierce downgrades Drax
Seymour Pierce analyst Angelos Anastasiou has downgraded power-plant operator Drax Group (DRX.L) from 'reduce' to 'sell'.
Anastasiou warned that its plans to convert the Drax Power Station in Selby, North Yorkshire, to burn biomass were not without risk. 'The group remains exposed to carbon costs even after the planned unit conversions,' he added.
'Hence, we remain slightly wary and given that there is now 14% downside to our unchanged target price of 524p, we are moving to sell (from reduce). FY12 results are due on 19 February.'
Shares in the group closed at 605p on Wednesday, down 7.6p or 1.2%.

Re: Britt re-signs re-signs is correct.......now,if only we could get people to use lose,instead of loose,I'd be content. ..........never mind
I have no idea why I am comforted by this, but I am. GOing on 2 years now I have been waiting for this monster to play and have an impact. Looks like I'll get another year of suspense!
That makes my day! I hope we'll see more of him this coming year, blasting some holes for our RB's!!!
Right, and drafted in Round 5, I think, by SD. Hopefully he was raw when they cut him, but now he can master the game under the Patriots' watchful eye and play a key role for us.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2005/draft/players/65577.html Britt's issue is less being raw, than being recovered from the leg injuries of the past. Had he not broken his leg during the Senior Bowl, he probably would have been drafted on Saturday. In fact, he was generally considered a better tackle prospect than Kaczur. His lateral quickness and ability in space were not his strong suits before the Senior Bowl; the question now is: has he retained enough to be an effective swing tackle for a SB contender? I'm glad that Britt is re-signed, and did not resign. But I will not resign myself to the prospect of Asante Samuel not re-signing.
He fell to the fifth round becasue he broke a leg in his Senior year and it wasn't fully healed. The Pats put him on PS to train and gave hiim a red shirt year to heal. I think he has a lot of talent and a future.

In a sharp blow to the Orioles' 2007 hopes, right-hander Kris Benson will miss the entire season due to a partially torn rotator cuff, FOXSports.com has learned.
Benson, 32, will require surgery to repair his injury, which surfaced after he began throwing in off-season workouts, according to a source with knowledge of his condition.
The Orioles, coming off nine straight losing seasons, expected Benson to solidify a rotation that includes left-hander Erik Bedard, righty Jaret Wright and two promising youngsters, righty Daniel Cabrera and lefty Adam Loewen.
To replace Benson, the Orioles could sign a free agent from a dwindling list that includes right-hander Steve Trachsel, left-hander Ron Villone and left-hander Mark Redman.
Trachsel, who is familiar to Orioles vice-president Jim Duquette from their days together in the Mets' organization, is drawing serious consideration, according to two industry sources.
Benson is no stranger to arm trouble — he missed all of 2001 due to elbow-ligament transplant surgery and made only 18 starts in '03 due to right shoulder tendonitis.
He averaged 30 starts and 186 innings over the past three seasons with the Mets and Orioles, but missed time with elbow tendonitis last season and finished 11-12 with a 4.82 ERA.
Benson is signed for this season at $7.5 million, and the Orioles hold a $7.5 million club option on him for 2008. Insurance likely will defray some of his '07 salary.
Lifetime, Benson is 68-73 with a 4.34 ERA.
