Posted by Joann
I have worked with Kristina Rost for almost ten years now. She has assisted me in processing both H1B visa and Green Cards for staff that our agency recruited overseas.. She is extremely knowledgeable in Immigration Law and has been very helpful throughout the years. he has worked with both agency management and staff directly. Not only has she made our overseas recruitment successful but also painless. I would highly recommend Kristina Rost and Maged and Rost.

We are an agency who has worked with Kristina for over 5 years. She has assisted us in both the H1B visa and Green Card process for candidates we have recruited overseas. We have found her to be extremely proficient and knowledgeable in the field of Immigration Law.
She has worked with both management and the candidates themselves.
Her communication has always been intelligent, immediate and specfic to the situation. Her broad range of knowledge in Immigration Law is evidenced in our highly successful collaboration over the years. We give Kristina and Maged & Rost our most sincere recommendation.

I have used Kristina's services three times in the past 5 years – for an H1-B visa, H1-B visa renewal, and then a Green Card. All three times Kristina made the whole process as easy as possible for me. She was always happy to answer any questions I had via email – responding promptly even when she was on vacation! The H1-B process was made extremely simple for me, and Kristina made sure I was fully prepared for my Immigration interviews so that everything went smoothly. The Green Card process was a little more complex and I had many questions for Kristina. She guided my husband and I through the entire process, ensuring that we had all of the paperwork necessary for our application, and that everything was submitted in a timely manner. I moved out of state before my Green Card interview, but Kristina still followed up with a conference call and multiple emails so that my husband and I felt confident going into our interview. I successfully obtained my Green Card thanks to Kristina's knowledge and efficiency, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone else seeking an Immigration Lawyer.

To my opinion Kristina Rost is the most knowledgeable and trustworthy immigration lawyer out there. After a series of phone & in-person interviews with a highly-acclaimed and recommended immigration lawyers in a Boston area, Kristina Rost was the only person capable of handling my case. I'm always amazed how she sees all the available options in any given situation. In addition to a unique knowledge of the immigration law to the smallest details, she also has an outstanding set of social and legal skills. That comes with experience - and she has a lot!

I used Kristina's services twice - first to get my H1B visa and then get a green card. In both cases Kristina did her best. She was extremely knowledgeable, understanding and responsive. Both times everything went very smoothly. Now I'm a PR. I will highly recommend her to all of my friends who need assistance. I'm reckoning she's one of the best immigration attorneys in the area.

I used Kristina to bring my wife here with a fiance visa and again to obtain permanent status for her. Kristina's professionalism made the whole process very simple and smooth. All of her staff is very friendly and helpful. I was recommended to her by a friend and have recommended her to many others who have also had great success with her.

I spent four years for legalization with other Lawyer in New-York before my friend recommended me to meet with Kristina.
And I felt her professionalism from the first step she began to work with my documents.
So, now I have a GC and continue to work in hi-tech company.

When I decided to apply for Green Card I wanted to find the right attorney to get real help. I was told that many of them are just telling you what paperwork you have to complete, and they just collect the paperwork and send it to the USCIS. But the forms can easily be found on the USCIS website, and you do not need an attorney for that unless you want to waste your money.
Three different sources that don't know each other recommended that I turn to Maged Rost. I did so and never regretted it. I applied for a Green Card on the basis of a National Interest Waiver. My attorney worked with me very hard to help me to write a Personal Statement and a cover letter to improve my English and underline my credentials (that were written in specific terms in my field and unevenly spread out through the statement), making them more visible and understandable to the USCIS. We did it with great accuracy and in a quick manner, so I received my approval much faster than my colleagues who sent their applications several months before me.

You can buy just the main gear for the linear servos on our micros. Don't know about the pinion for sure but usually its the main gear that gets messed up. I don't remember what site I bought them from but I am pretty sure it was a micro heli website that had them.

I just got my MSR working right after having it for couple weeks. I got it used and it sat for a year and was a little stiff. Also I did not have battery in all the way and makes a big difference. Serviced heli and ran couple of batteries and she came alive. Today I recieves a MSR-X on a trade. Its new bnf and did not know what to expect. Result one darn good flying heli. Wow very nice indeed !!. DX5e set on low rates and up she went. Very nice agile flyer.
yep, love the MSRx, smooth flyer and so much more capable than the MSR, but the MSR was a great stepping stone for me to get to the x, and now the nano cpx. Before the MSR I only flew a couple of airhogs 2 ch coaxes. Even the base MSR was quite challenging at first and I'm glad it couldn't go as fast as the MSRx.

When I first fired up MSR-X and seen movement on servos I knew I had some fun coming up. Hit lower rates and up she went. Very stable but its quick. My MSR gave me fits as I fly all the time. Then I checked and battery was only half way in. Plus using 150ma tp boot. Made all difference and flys quite well. This is a very nice FBL mico heli no doubt. Blade stuff is more expensive but support and parts are very easy to get. My local hardware store carries stock, or gets my stuff in two days. I like Walkrea fine but getting parts takes online in several different vendors.
Yeah I'm kinda afraid to try Walkera or the other online only brands because of parts support and possible chinglish directions. Maybe one day when I have this heli stuff totally figured out..

One thing that adds to joy of these is fact just bought some extra batteries. MSR/ MSR-X/ and two 9958's use same battery. Blade/ Spectrum no doubt have good items. Walkrea has some pretty nice stuff also. I like them both and enjoy flying all my birds. WL toys in there also, plus a few others. I keep door open to all thats available. Sometimes wait is a pain but you get the goods before you know it. Tomorrow will be Blade day for me. MSR/MSR-X/MQX, and just got Mcp-x dialed in. Take my Hoten-X, and couple Ladybird V1's also.
What are some other flybarless fb heli out there.
I've been going back and forth between flying the MSRx and Nano cpx a lot now, its weird. The MSRx feels like a balloon in comparison. It hovers in place hands off easily, and requires totally different throttle management than the nano. After flying the nano i usually hit the ceiling first time i fly the MSRx cause I forget how much lift it has and how delayed the reaction is on throttle compared to the instantaneous up down motion the nano can do because of CP. The MSRx though I can fly fast circuits in a rectangle about 10*8 feet, can't with the nano (yet anyway). Its just too fast.
Yeah, sounds like you're having the same experiences as me, seeingeyegod. I'm flying my Nano in slow circuits and figure-8s indoors but that's about it right now. I did have a chance this fall to put some flights on the Nano outdoors but there, too, it was crazy fast. The MSRX is the perfect balance of challenge and familiarity for my skill level right now. It's my go-to heli right now when I want a good fun flight. The Nano is for expanding my skills (or at least trying to!)
Completely agree. I'm having exactly the same experience. 3 months ago, flying the MSRx inside was a dicey proposition for me and my circuits were slow, methodical, careful, and 75% successful. Now, my MSRX SCREAMS around my living room, dodging columns, dangling light fixtures, swatting wives, etc. In fact, I now far more enjoy flying my MSRx inside than outside. Meanwhile, my Nano is still a handful inside, but is my go-to bird outside.
Unfortunately, both are currently down for maintenance - new board for the Nano (BTW, if you ever need a board fixed/replaced, check out megasmicros before you buy a new one), and my MSRx needs a new tail motor, new main motor, and a new blade set (let a friend try to fly it, just to be cruel).
Just bought the MSR X on a whim after having a go with a colleagues helicopter which had a horizontal rear prop. This made it go forward and back. It got me thinking. After a bit of research on RC Groups here I am.
I haven't been flying for two or three years and one of my last purchases was the micro mustang when they first came out. I am absolutely amazed how the technology has come on. The last heli thing I had seen was the Pico Z.
I have the stock RTF version. I set up on the low rates, powered up and took off. 1 battery later I've had several good hovers and have even tried turning with the rudder. All I can say is I'm amazed!
Subscribed to the thread.
JR/Spektrum and airtronics use + expo to make the sticks less sensitive around center.
Futaba and hitec use - expo make the sticks less sensitive around center.
(It kinda made more sense when everything was 72Mhz, because futaba and hitec were negative shift, while JR and airtronics were positive shift, so you knew to use your radios "shift direction" to make the sticks more mellow around center Of course, they cant change now to standardize it without adding even more confusion to the mix)
Anyway, this has definitely messed up many a newb.... Myself included!! Back when I first started flying planes in the 72Mhz dark ages, I used a hitec computer radio, but the person helping me set it up used a JR, so I was advised to put in +35% expo to start out (which would indeed make the sticks more mellow around center in a JR radio, but made them more sensitive around center on my hitec radio).
Being a complete newb with no one to test fly my planes, I was clueless that it was a problem, and just learned to fly with tiny stick movements .
The problem came to light when I got my brother into flying, we built identical planes (he using a non-computer radio), and then one day decided to trade transmitters, while in the air.... It was almost comical, suddenly we both exclaimed opposing sentences "Holy crap, your plane is so sensitive/Holy crap your plane doesn't respond!" A quick trade back and a trip to the forums had me relearning how to fly without a super sensitive stick center... lol....
Hi, Andrew! Welcome to the mSR X club. When you get a chance, take your bird outdoors at a park sometime (make sure there's nobody around where you're flying...) and really open it up! It's a challenge indoors but an absolute blast outdoors. Enjoy!
decaur, this is really interesting. I'm a Spektrum and Turnigy/er9x guy and it always boggled me when I saw directions for things like the AnyLink transmitter say that other transmitters need negative expo to tame the helis down. That explains a lot!

Throughout the academic year and during the summer months, a variety of art exhibits are rotated through this gallery. All students, faculty, staff and the public are welcome and encouraged to visit the gallery and experience the artworks on display. Check this page for updates on upcoming art exhibits. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please contact Lisa Wicka, Assistant Professor of Art at email@example.com or 715-735-4300 ext. 4322 for more information about the UW-Marinette Fine Arts Gallery. Follow us on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
This exhibit, Entangled, features the multi media prints of Ina Kaur. Kaur uses a variety of printmaking methods in addition to paper making to explore her own complex identity with consideration to "binary oppositions such as past/present, East/West, local/global, ancient/modern, oriental/occidental, and how they coexist". She explores these themes through the use of abstracted organic forms, often circular. Kaur says "Abstraction for me also acts as a point of nothingness, which also encompasses everything I come in contact with. With the help of simple forms and using the print medium I am drawing, engraving and revealing all the mysteries within my mind."
This exhibition features a portfolio of 16 unique prints with a hand made paper installation.
Art + Words 2016
Latoya Hobbs Art Exhibit
Latoya Hobbs uses mixed media printmaking and the female figure "to challenge past notions of identity concerning the black female body, deconstruct them and resurrect an ideology grounded in positivity," explained Hobbs.
On display is a selection of large-scale relief prints and an installation that comments on the "The Brown Paper Bag Test," a form of discrimination in the 1900s-1950s among intra-racial social organizations. Hobbs said her work is meant "to cut away negative ideologies imposed by others to expose or embrace their true selves."
A native of North Little Rock, Ark., Hobbs received her undergraduate degree in studio art with an emphasis in painting from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She earned her master's in fine art in printmaking from Purdue University. Her work has been displayed at several national and international exhibitions, including the Tulipamwe International Artists' Exhibition at the National Art Gallery of Namibia, Africa, Prizm Art Fair, Art Basel Miami and the Black Creativity Exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago.
Digital Art Workshop will be held on March 15 and 17 from 8:00 a.m. - 10:20 a.m. in Room T-139.

White Power, White Terrorism, White Mainstream

CNN Reignites Death Panel Myth, Sparking My "Network" Moment
Linda Milazzo: Corporate media's constant drumming of death panel lies resulted in Section 1233 (which allowed Medicare to provide advance planning doctor visits every five years) being eliminated from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that passed in 2010. This week CNN was back using the same death panel misnomer, spreading the death panel myth. Well I'm mad as hell. I'm not going to take it anymore from CNN, MSNBC, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS and talk radio. We, the people, deserve better.

The Right Side of History: Religious Leaders Urge Immigration Reform
Seth Hoy: Conservative religious leaders made the case for common sense solutions to our immigration system—comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) that secures our borders, follows the rule of law and provides a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S.
Arizona Senators Decry DOJ Lawsuit Yet Won't Support Immigration Reform

WikipediaRead full entry
The hymenopteran family Platygastridae (sometimes incorrectly spelled Platygasteridae) is a large group (over 1100 species) of exclusively parasitoid wasps, mostly very small (1-2 mm), black, and shining, with elbowed antennae that have an eight-segmented flagellum. The wings most often lack venation, though they may have slight fringes of setae.
The two subfamilies are the Platygastrinae and the Sceliotrachelinae. The former subfamily includes some 40 genera, all of which are koinobionts on cecidomyiid flies; the wasp oviposits in the host's egg or early instar larva, and the wasp larva completes development when the host reaches the prepupal or pupal stage. The latter subfamily is much smaller, including some 20 genera, and they typically have the rudiments of a vein in the forewings. They are generally idiobionts, attacking the eggs of either beetles or Hemiptera.
The former family Scelionidae is now considered to be another subfamily of Platygastridae, along with the subfamilies Teleasinae and Telenominae.

The 2011 NBA Draft continues to inch closer, and more is surfacing about each prospect.
Each player is trying to impress teams so they can improve their draft position. As some players rise up the ranks, some see their stock start to drop.
A common thing to do is to compare a player to a current NBA star to give people a feel for their skill set. This gives some the idea that a player is destined for stardom. However, players are just likened to a big-name player to give the average fan an idea of their style of play.
How about comparing the up-and-comers to the biggest names the game has ever seen?
With this list, the top 25 players on Chad Ford's big board will be paralleled with some of the best players ever to play in the NBA.
These comparisons should not be blown out of proportion. They are merely noticeable similarities, not career predictions.
Here we go.

Recipe: Turmeric-Ginger Tea
turmeric is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and thought this warm, tongue-tingling spice might make a good addition to flu-season tea. It turns out this is not a new idea; turmeric tea is found in Okinawan and Indian cuisine and I found several recipes in herbal cookbooks and natural health Web sites. Here's a quick little recipe for the version I made. In addition to turmeric and ginger, I added soy milk and honey, which helped balance out the slightly bitter and pungent spices. The result was earthy and comforting. Feel free to play around with the proportions, to substitute fresh ginger and/or turmeric, etc.
Turmeric-Ginger Tea Serves 1 1 cup water 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger Splash of milk or soy milk Honey or maple syrup, to taste In a small saucepan, bring water to boil. Add turmeric and ginger, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in milk and strain tea into a cup. Add sweetener to taste.Related: Recipe: Flu Season Ginger Honey Lemon Tonic (Image: Emily Ho)

Black-crowned Night-Heron Makes Full Recovery at SFWC
When a Black-crowned Night-Heron was brought to the SFWC wildlife hospital with a badly injured wing, veterinarians found his treatment especially challenging. Not only would the small size of the fractured bone and the threat of infection from a wound over the fracture complicate healing, there was the additional challenge of ensuring this shy, delicate bird was able to eat and heal despite the stress of captivity.

And I'm banking on the run Bio is noting to bust thru the $17.12
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This new E-DM1 will replace Tarceva, Erbitux, Iressa , Tykerb, Vectibix Capreisa and all other EGFR inhibitors, a market of $ billions . Exciting!
Well we added almost $800 million in market cap on a pre-clinical finding. Go figure, but I will take it. IMGN is by far my largest holding in my portfolio so a 5% up day is very nice. Seems like a lot of money is coming into biotech right now. CRIS also having a nice up day.
Chinese Hamsters
I'm watching the trading on Level II. Shorts panicking? I see lots of trades for 1 or 2 shares. Who buys 1 or 2 shares at a time? Short interest has actually increased in the last month. I'm no trading expert, but my guess is that they try to hold down the price by trading a few shares at a time during slow trading windows in order to walk the price down.
Here's to Bio - he is a pretty smart cookie - not being the greedy type, I have sold my Apr 15's - but holding on to my July's. Nice little 80% profit on the Apr's. And yes, I am holding a few hundred shares of the stock itself.
not smart enough to hold all of the trading shares, but still have about half. Note to self, buy any dips a week before the annual meeting next year, management wants to look good for investors and the BOD to keep their jobs.
There's still lots of room to run SGEN is 4.3BB IMGN is 1.4BB. One would think a 50% discount is more reasonable, so that leaves 50% upside for IMGN unless SGEN declines. I am not expecting the gap to close today, but if shorts get nervous, it might partially close...if IMGN can make a new high. Let's see what happens at $17.12-17.25.

How to Select a Video Capture Card:
- Determine the type of PC expansion slot that you will plug your video capture card into your computer. The three major PC adapter interfaces for video capture cards are PCI, PCI-Express (or PCI-e), and USB. This is important because you will need to see which one will fit your PC. If you are not sure use the reference link at the end of this article to motherboards.org about PC Expansion Slots
- Determine the type of video format that the video capture card will be receiving. The two standard video formats are Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD). Video capture cards vary in the types of definition as well as the format of HD content. Also some video capture cards do hardware encoding which formats the video content into PC readable files. Check if the video capture card is software or hardware encoding as this can affect your PC system resources such as CPU and Memory requirements
- Choose the number of tuners for the video capture card. Most of the early video capture cards could only capture one video source at a time. Now manufacturers sell dual tuners or multi-tuner video capture cards that allow more than one video source to capture per PC expansion slot
- Other media type considerations. Some video capture cards can take FM audio signals which allow to capture streaming audio. Also another consideration are remote controls that allow to change channels with your video capture card. Make an assessment of all of your requirements before purchasing
Package Included:
- 1 x SkyBest DVR Card SKY-6802i

GREAT game
It is very rare that I find a game that I play all through to the end. And I LOVE this game.
Everything about it is awesome. The gameplay, the strategizing, the maps, and the concept as a whole. I like how there are waves of zombies. Anyone who's seen a zombie movie knows that they eventually WILL come in waves. And I also like how they stay still until they hear something. Very true to zombie culture. Keep up the VERY good work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great strategy game
I found the campaign easy.......but who needs a campaign when you have the random map maker!! Quartermaster is unbelievably hard...i have yet to beat it so for those that found the game TOO EASY........ you have undoubtedly proven yourselves as NOOBS because you did not explore the game in depth......and yes I used the word noobs as outdated as that word is now.
So great game. Love the concept. Takes awhile to master the allocation system, which makes it worthwhile to play and NOT too easy.
Graphics were all right, music fit the mood but got on my nerves fast. Try to add more music variety.

Doug Skene chat on the Detroit News
I don't know if anyone caught this -- I was drawn to it by an Angelique tweet -- but ex-UM OL Doug Skene did a chat at the Detroit News. Some of what I thought were the best bits:
Bo vs. Mo vs. Lloyd etc.
I've been wondering lately about Michigan's modern coaches (i.e., from Bo on), and how their winning percentages stack up when we consider the quality of the opponents they've played. Just off the top of my head, it seems to me that:
- Lloyd Carr was a much better coach against ranked opponents than we give him credit for, but lost more games than he should have to unranked teams.
- Brady Hoke thusfar has done well in winning the games he should win (i.e., vs. unranked opponents), or at least has done better than Lloyd Carr did.
- Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr went through an absolute gauntlet of a schedule in the 1990s.
But I wanted to see if those notions are actually supported by the stats. So I started looking at Michigan's coaching from 1969 to 2012 against ranked teams. I should start out by explaining that "ranked" here means the AP Top 20, as the AP did not rank teams 21-25 until 1989. I've therefore disregarded all 21-25 rankings of opponents.
Here are our heroes' (and anti-hero's) overall M records:
|Overall Record
|194-48-5 (.796)
|44-13-3 (.758)
|122-40 (.753)
|15-22 (.405)
|19-7 (.731)
*All Hoke stats are through 2012 only, as we don't have final AP rankings for 2013 yet.
Here's how U-M's coaches have stacked up against teams ranked at game time:
|vs. AP 1-10
|vs. AP 11-20
|vs. Unranked
|16-19-1 (.458)
|21-12 (.636)
|159-16-4 (.899)
|7-5-1 (.577)
|5-1-1 (.786)
|32-7-1 (.813)
|19-9 (.679)
|19-11 (.633)
|84-20 (.808)
|1-5 (.167)
|1-4 (.200)
|13-13 (.500)
|0-2 (.000)
|1-2 (.333)
|18-3 (.857)
Some obvious points jump out:
- RichRod and Hoke, and even Moeller to some extent, have small sample sizes. Keep this in the back of your mind for all that follows.
- Lloyd had a VERY impressive record against the AP Top 10. In fact, he started out on a huge roll. From 1995-2002, Lloyd was 11-1 against the Top 10 at game time.
- Lloyd lost a substantial number of games against unranked teams. Brady's done pretty well against the unranked. Bo really killed the teams he should have killed.
I know, I know, pre-season bias in rankings, especially early. But let's not completely discount game-time rankings. Though some of them, particularly early in the season, are just plain wrong, some might actually be good indications of a team's quality as of the time you played. For example: some of Glen Mason's Minnesota teams were pretty good as of Michigan week, but then plummeted through the rest of their seasons, perhaps from psychological issues, after losing their red-letter games for the Jug. Were those teams better when Michigan played them in week 5 or 6 than those teams' final unranked status would indicate? Very probably.
But of course, rankings at game time, particularly early in the season, don't tell the full story about the quality of the team you've played. The season's final rankings are probably most illustrative (except for Minnesota-like situations as described above):
|vs. AP Final 1-10
|vs. AP Final 11-20
|vs. Final Unranked
|6-25-1 (.203)
|16-8 (.667)
|172-15-4 (.911)
|2-7-1 (.250)
|7-2 (.777)
|35-4-2 (.878)
|10-14 (.417)
|14-6 (.700)
|98-20 (.831)
|0-8 (.000)

Final rankings may give you a better overall picture by removing most of the pre-season bias, but with final rankings a big caveat also applies: When you beat a team, its final ranking drops. When you lose to a team, its final ranking rises. Beating a good team makes it look worse to the poll voters. So in general, the coaches should have worse winning percentages against teams in the final rankings than they'd have against teams ranked at game time.
The observations:
- Bo's REALLY kicking ass against the unranked dregs (Mo and Hoke too), but not doing so hot against teams having great seasons. It makes sense that a coach's record against the final Top 10 should not be great, but Bo's was pretty dismal. All of the bowl losses certainly didn't help him.
- Lloyd's 10-14 against the Final Top 10 is still pretty darned impressive, and his combined 24-20 against the Final Top 20 is fairly impressive as well. But again, he's lagging behind in beating teams having unranked seasons.
- RR of course was absolutely dismal against teams finishing in the Top 20. Wisconsin's 2008 team was not able to crack the final Top 20 to put a single mark on the board for Coach Rod.
So it looks as if my first two initial thoughts were generally right. Thusfar Lloyd was a pretty good big-game coach, taking his whole career into account (I'll save comparisons of early career vs. late career for another piece). And Brady's not losing to a lot of teams that he has no business losing to.
But what about the schedule strength? On average Bo faced fewer ranked teams in the days before 85-scholarship parity (in 1970 he didn't face a single team ranked at game time or in the final rankings) and before the resumption of the Notre Dame series and the scheduling of Miami and Florida State. Also, even in some of his best seasons the Big Ten didn't let him go to a bowl game. How many of their games on average did our coaches play against ranked teams?
Based on the game-time rankings:
|% of Games Played vs. AP 1-10
|% of Games Played vs. AP 11-20
|% of Games Played vs. Unranked
Based on final rankings:
|% of Games Played vs. AP Final 1-10
|% of Games Played vs. AP Final 11-20
|% of Games Played vs. Final Unranked
- It looks like Mo's schedules were indeed murder, whether you look at the game-time rankings or the final rankings.
- Bo's and Lloyd's schedules got significantly easier when you look at the final rankings.
- RichRod's schedules became brutal when you look at the number of teams he faced that finished in the Top 10. But again, if you lose games, the teams you play look better in the final standings. And of course it's a small sample size; if RR manages to beat Utah in 2008, Penn State in 2009, Iowa in 2009, or Wisconsin in 2010, those numbers look different.
- Hoke hasn't played a lot of high quality teams. Thanks, down Big Ten and watered-down non-con scheduling.
Given the disparity in schedule strength, let's look at the coaches' winning percentages as if Lloyd's 13-year schedule is the measuring stick for schedule strength. I think that's fair, as 13 years is a pretty good sample size, Lloyd had both some really good and some bad seasons, and Lloyd's tenure was the time in which Michigan's schedule entered into our current era of weaker non-conference scheduling and greater parity as the effect of the 85-scholarship limit has fully set in.
For example, we're going to take Bo's .458 against the Top 10 at game time and assume that he'd played as many games against the Top 10, on a percentage basis, as Lloyd did, and so on. How do our coaches' career winning percentages stack up then?
Based on the game-time rankings:
|Actual Win %
|Win % Adjusted to Lloyd's Strength of Schedule
Based on the final rankings:
|Actual Win %
|Win % Adjusted to Lloyd's Strength of Schedule
- When adjusting for schedule strength, Lloyd suddenly looks pretty good. He's only around 20 points lower than Bo's storied/heralded/legendary career. A swing of just four games in Lloyd's career would've put him above Bo. If Lloyd goes 126-36 instead of 122-40, Lloyd becomes the Michigan coaching king when percentages are adjusted for schedule strength. And that's not too big a stretch at all. Think about it: if Michigan had gotten few breaks in the 2000 season (i.e., Hayden Epstein doesn't miss an extra point and a 24-yard field goal against UCLA; Michigan scores more than a field goal in the second half at Purdue; the A-Train holds on to the ball at Northwestern), and if Michigan hadn't given up just one of the several fourth-quarter blown leads in 2005, Lloyd would've had a better career winning percentage than Bo, equalized for schedule strength. But more on this later.
- Again, Mo's schedules were murder. His percentage rises when compared to Lloyd's schedule strength.
- RichRod's also up in the final rankings, again because of the many opponents he played that wound up in the final Top 10.
- Hoke doesn't look so hot. But rebuilding and fusion cuisine and all that.
In the comparison of Lloyd to Bo above, we've adjusted Bo's 1-10 percentage and 11-20 percentage to Lloyd's frequency of playing in those games. But playing the national No. 1 is usually a much tougher game than playing the national No. 10, or even No. 3. I haven't taken the time to adjust the winning percentages by frequency of playing every single spot in the rankings, but I have collected some info on how those guys did against the Top 2 and against the Top 5 at game time:
|Record vs. AP 1-2
|Record vs. AP 1-5
|3-6-1 (.350)
|8-12-1 (.405)
|0-3 (.000)
|2-4-1 (.357)
|3-3 (.500)
|8-3 (.727)
|0-1 (.000)
|0-1 (.000)
|0-2 (.000)
Those are some great numbers from Lloyd, but all of those games are 2003 or earlier, when he started 11-1 against the Top 10, aside from games against No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 1 Ohio State in 2006. For what it's worth, U-M hasn't beaten an AP No. 1 since Miami in 1984.
So how often did the coaches play in really big games (using game-time rankings)?
|% of Games Played vs. AP 1-2
|% of Games Played vs. AP 1-5
So Bo played really big games just slightly more often than Lloyd did, and Mo's murderous schedules are apparent here as well. I'm not sure this difference between Bo and Lloyd is significant. I'm still comfortable saying that Lloyd is only a touch behind Bo in terms of impressiveness of career. Sacrilege? Perhaps. But in terms of wins, losses, and quality of opponents, I think that's a fair statement. Now, that's not saying anything about what Lloyd could have achieved, or how maddening it was to watch some of his games. Of course, Bo sustained that level of success eight seasons longer than Lloyd did, and there's something to be said for that.
What do we get from all of this? I think the stats support the wisdom of the ideas set out above: Lloyd Carr was pretty darned good against ranked teams, but not as hot as he should've been otherwise; blame the 85-scholarship parity era for that. Brady Hoke has generally won the games he should win. And the 1990s schedules, particularly Gary Moeller's, were potentially the most brutal stretch Michigan has ever faced.
And don't worry, I'll say it for myself: Cool story, bro.
[Edited to correct Brady Hoke's 2-year record to 19-7 instead of 18-7. All stats accordingly corrected.]

Fun little article in LA Times about Keith Jackson. There is a photo of him holding photo of UM marching band tribute to him in his last season, and a good quote about Bo.
MGoHistory - The Year In Review - 1980
Previous MGoHistory [1986, 1971, 1997, 1989]
As the long winter that is the college football offseason approaches its merciful conclusion, we pause once again to review the glory of Michigan past before we witness what is sure to be the glory of Michigan future. So enter the TARDIS and join me and The Doctor as we take a look at the year that was….1980.
America enters a new decade as a country suffering, as President Jimmy Carter refers to it, a "crisis of confidence". Watergate and Vietnam have left the American people disillusioned with their government. The US economy, battered for the better part of the previous decade by recession, inflation, gasoline shortages, and high unemployment has many doubting in the future of the country. Adding insult to injury, the Soviet Union's brash invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian hostage crisis calls into question America's position on the world stage. The morale of the country in 1980 is not good.
Enter this guy. Former actor and governor of California, Ronald Reagan, bringing a message of optimism and hope, wins a landslide victory in November to become the 40thPresident of the United States. Reagan's policies of increased deficit spending and lower taxes help pull the economy out of the doldrums of the 1970's and sends the American consumer culture into overdrive, a culture that is still strongly imprinted on America to this day.
The countrys' morale is also given a big boost in 1980 by these guys. The XIIIth Winter Olympic games in Lake Placid, NY open under the specter of a US-lead boycott of the upcoming Summer Games in Moscow in protest of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Rather than lead a boycott of their own, the Soviets attend the US-hosted games determined to humiliate the Americans on their home soil. The event the Soviets are most favored to win is the mens hockey tournament, where the Soviet National Team has been widely regarded as the best hockey squad for going on 20 years. The US National Team is a collection of 20 college amateurs lead by Minnesota Head Coach Herb Brooks and is not expected to compete for a medal. The US team surprises many by scrapping its' way into the medal round only to be faced with a semi-final match-up against the Soviets which nobody believes can be won. In what is now referred to as the Miracle on Ice, the Americans stun the Soviets 4-3 and then go on to win the gold medal by defeating Finland in the final. The US win in hockey sparks a wave of patriotism throughout the country and is widely regarded at the greatest sports upset in history.
Other notable news items of the year is the eruption of Mt St. Helens in Washington state which kills 57 people and causes upwards of $3 billion in property damage. The Voyager 1 space probe has a rendezvous with the planet Saturn, giving humans their first up-close look at the spectacular rings around the planet. The Chrysler Corporation, headed by Lee Iacocca, negotiates a federal loan to avoid bankruptcy. Consumer products like Post-It Notes, the Rubiks Cube, and the video game Pac-Man appear. And the Information Age gets somewhat of a start with the development of the telephone modem and the launch of CNN, which will ultimately lead to the 24 hour news cycle and the ubiquitous presence of the media in everyday life.
In the sporting world, 1980 is a banner year for Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania professional teams are represented in every major sporting championship contest in 1980. The Pittsburgh Steelers, lead by future Hall of Fame quarterback and NutriSystem pitchman Terry Bradshaw, win their 4thSuper Bowl championship by defeating the LA Rams 31-19 in Super Bowl XIV. On the ice, the Philadelphia Flyers fall to the New York Islanders in 6 games of the Stanley Cup Finals. On the hardwood, the 76ers featuring the legendary Julius Erving lose the NBA Championship in 6 games to the LA Lakers and a rookie Magic Johnson. The Commonwealth is redeemed by the end of the year when the Mike Schmidt leads the Philadelphia Phillies to a World Series title, defeating the Kansas City Royals in 6 games (this is not a typo, KC was at one time very good at baseball).
In the entertainment world, people watch "Dallas" by the millions and everyone becomes obsessed with the question of , "Who shot JR?". Other popular television programming includes "Three's Company", "Little House on the Prairie", "The Love Boat", and "The Dukes of Hazzard". On the big screen, we flock to see "The Empire Strikes Back" and learn that {SPOILER ALERT} Darth Vader is Luke's father. Nobody flocks to see "Heaven's Gate", which winds up bankrupting United Artists; and we are all blessed with some of the great comedic releases of all time in "Caddyshack", "Airplane!", and "The Blues Brothers".
On the radio we are enjoying the post-disco sounds of Blondie and Kool and the Gang. We rock out to power bands such as Queen and AC/DC, who release their classic album "Back In Black". The rumblings of a second British invasion are also starting to be felt in New Wave bands such as Devo, The Talking Heads, and David Bowie. Sadly, the music and entertainment world are dealt a stunning blow late in the year with the murder of John Lennon by Mark David Chapman.
Meanwhile, in Ann Arbor, morale is high. Michigan Football is entering its second century of existence and head coach Bo Schembechler only a year removed from having won the Ten Year War against his nemesis Woody Hayes, sits atop the conference as the master of the Big Ten. Team 101 is one of Coach Schembechler's most talent-laden squads featuring All –Americans George Lilja and Anthony Carter as well as future All-Americans Bubba Paris, Kurt Becker, Ed Muransky, Butch Woolfolk, and…..Anthony Carter. The Wolverines, coming off a lackluster 8-4 record the previous season begin the season ranked 12thin the country only to fall to 1-2 and out of the polls early in the season with heartbreaking losses to Notre Dame and South Carolina by a grand total of 5 points.
Once conference play is underway though, Michigan finds its legs and rolls through opponents by massive margins including three straight shutouts of Indiana, Wisconsin, and Purdue to set up another showdown with Ohio in Columbus. The 10thranked Wolverines face off against 2ndyear coach Earle Bruce and the 5thranked Buckeyes with the conference and Rose Bowl hanging in the balance. Michigan grinds out a 9-3 victory earning Schembechler his 9thBig 10 title and 6thRose Bowl appearance.
Leading up to Rose Bowl contest against Pac-10 Champion Washington, the primary focus of the media was on Schembechler's bowl record, which included 5 losses in Pasadena and a loss in the Orange Bowl and Gator Bowl. Inspired to break the streak, Michigan plays an inspired 2ndhalf, lead by Rose Bowl MVP Butch Woolfolk's 182 rushing yards to crush the Huskies 23-6 and earn Schembechler his first Rose Bowl Championship and Michigan's first since 1965. The 1980 Wolverines finished the season 10-2 and ranked 4thin the country and would be the pre-season Number One team the following season.
The 1980's saw America emerge from the tumultuous 70's to a new age of prosperity and affluence. A parallel that can be drawn to the 1980 Michigan team that entered the season extremely talented but with low expectations coming off a lackluster season previously. Has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it? As Team 134 embarks on the 2ndthird of Michigan Football's 2ndcentury, we all wait expectantly to see if this is the year where Brady Hoke and his team of highly touted recruits finally takes hold and leads Michigan back to where it hasn't been for 9 years, the Big Ten Championship and the Rose Bowl. Hope you all enjoyed this stroll through the past and we'll see you all after the conclusion of the season in 2014. Go Blue!
Football Equipment Manager Jon Falk to retire after 2013 season
The link from the athletic department says it all. Over 40 years of service to Michigan football to five different head coaches.
Visual shows consistent excellence of Michigan football
If you're reading this site, you're a true Michigan fan. The type that yells "Go Blue" at anyone with two legs and block M on her shirt.
Your commitment goes beyond packing the Big House on Saturdays each fall. You still remember how the sun set over the Rose Bowl in 1998 as Michigan beat Washington State to capture a national title.
Michigan football has rewarded your commitment by winning a lot of football games. The program has the most wins and best winning percentage among all college football programs. This success has been consistent, well, except for a recent 3 year stretch.
Data visualization can capture this rich history of Michigan football. This visual looks at the past 30 years.
The bottom panel shows how a computer algorithm viewed Michigan football each year. The Power Rank algorithm takes a team's margin of victory in each game and adjusts it for their schedule. It makes a difference whether a team plays in the Big Ten or MAC. Last year, Michigan was rated higher (26th) than Northern Illinois (44th) despite having a worse record.
The rating for each team gives an expected margin of victory against an average FBS team. The difference in ratings of two teams gives a predicted margin of victory on a neutral field. For example, Michigan was predicted to beat Michigan State by 5.7 points (including 3 points for a home game at the Big House) last season. Michigan won 12-10. While the visual shows year end ratings, the calculations from before bowl season have predicted 62.8% of bowl game winners over the last 11 years.
These insights into Michigan football jump out from the visual.
23 Years of Sustained Excellence
In 1984, sophomore QB Jim Harbaugh got hurt in the fifth game of the season. Bo didn't have a suitable replacement. Michigan struggled to 6-6 record, finishing 36th in The Power Rank.
For the next 23 years, Michigan football never finished out of the top 25 of the rankings. The teams coached by Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr showed remarkable consistency.
The Rich Rodriguez Years
This consistency came to an abrupt halt when Carr retired and Rich Rodriguez took over as coach. The dip in rating over these 3 years looks like the Grand Canyon compared with Michigan's results on both sides of this era. Rodriguez's teams won more games as the offense picked up his spread scheme. However, the poor defense kept team rating negative during those 3 years.
Michigan had a terrible time with turnovers under Rodriguez. Turnover margin in football is like flipping a coin. The randomness implies that a team with poor turnover margin should do better the following season. However, regression to the mean does not rescue every team. Rodriguez's teams had a consistently terrible turnover margin, with 10, 12, and 10 more giveaways than takeaways in his 3 years.
Boring wins football games
Lloyd Carr did not play the most exciting brand of football. Run, run, pass on offense. Very predictable and boring.
But Lloyd Carr won 122 football games in his 13 years as head coach. He claimed 5 Big Ten titles and a national championship in 1997.
How did he do it? Craig Ross, author of The Obscene Diaries of a Michigan Fan, told me that Carr attempted to "minimize the vagaries of talent and injuries". He probably had turnovers on his mind as well.
To a mathematician like myself, this quote means he understood randomness and tried to minimize its impact on his team. The calculated ratings from 1995 to 2007 show the consistent results from this philosophy. Similar to the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA, Carr put his team in position to win every year. He broke through with a national championship in 1997. Who cares that the algorithm thinks the Big Ten had a down year?
And for anyone who doubts boring wins football, just remember what happened when the exciting spread offense showed up after Carr retired.
The hidden strength of 2005 team
The remarkable 23 years in the top 25 of the rankings includes 2005. Most fans will not remember the 7-5 season fondly, but Michigan finished 10th in The Power Rank.
How can a team with 5 losses get ranked so highly? The Power Rank considers margin of victory and strength of schedule in ranking teams. A team gets credit for staying close with good teams. In 2005, Michigan lost by 4 points to 3rd ranked Ohio State, 7 points to 6th ranked Notre Dame, and 3 points to 19th ranked Wisconsin.
The 2005 team was much better than their record indicated. The Power Rank rated them two touchdowns better than the average FBS team. The core of Jake Long, Chad Henne and Mario Manningham along with a healthy Mike Hart would lead Michigan to an 11-0 start the following year.
Bo's best team was in 1988
Of the last 7 years of Bo Schembechler's coaching tenure, which team was the beat? The 1985 team that beat Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl? Or the 1986 team that finished with 11 wins?
Actually, the ranking algorithm gives a slight edge to the 1988 team. Michigan opened the season with a 2 point loss at Notre Dame. The following week, the Wolverines lost an agonizing 1 point game to Miami when the Hurricanes recovered an onside kick to set up a winning field goal. However, The Power Rank considers margin of victory and strength of schedule in rankings teams. Miami and Notre Dame would finish the season 1st and 2nd (Notre Dame won the national title with an undefeated season).
Michigan went on beat USC in the Rose Bowl and finish 4th in the rankings. The algorithm states they were a point and a half better than the 1985 team. However, the algorithm does not make any kind of definitive statement on the best team. To put this in perspective, the 1988 has a 53% chance of beating the 1985 team on a neutral field.
Get a free postcard of the Michigan visual
As Michigan enters the third year of the Brady Hoke era, the program appears to be climbing out of the Grand Canyon of the Rodriguez years. The Power Rank will continue to use analytics and visualization to break down the program in detail. For example, I apply the algorithm to yards per play to account for strength of schedule in ranking offense and defense.

Students born in 1998 can Check their PLKN National Service 2016
The National Service programme for 2015 is suspended as part of cost-cutting measures, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"A suspension of the National Service programme for 2015 will save RM400mil, and will allow for the programme to be re-examined and improved," said Najib, who announced revisions to Budget 2015 on Tuesday.
Najib also said that the awarding of grants to statutory bodies, government-linked corporations and government trust funds, especially those that have consistent income and large reserves is expected to save about RM3.2bil.
He added that the government would increase dividend collection from government-linked corporations. "This will contribute approximately RM400mil," said Najib.

All students will complete internships before graduating from the program and many will be involved in community learning projects. Students also have the opportunity to design for local clients and to enter design competitions. Students exhibit their work annually at the NY11+ exhibition in Albany and New York City. These are just a few of the many opportunities available to students in our program.
Our graduates are prepared for entry level positions in the field of interior design. After the appropriate number of work hours, interior designers can take the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) exam. You can learn more about the exam here.
Students in the Interior + Spatial Design program have the opportunity to study abroad in London during the second semester of their junior year. Summer study abroad options are also available. Please visit our Global Education page to learn more.

The Interior Design (IND) Club at Sage College of Albany provides an opportunity for students to connect with one another outside of the design studio. The IND Club is a part of the college's student government organization and hosts a regular lunch and learn series, organizes a fall outing, and does volunteer work, among other activities. This year the IND Club will become an official ASID student chapter!
The Interior + Spatial Design program participates annually in New York Eleven Plus (NY11+). NY11+ is a collaboration of prestigious New York State educational institutions offering four-year programs in interior design. Each year the exhibition showcases student projects and accomplishments at the Legislative Office Building in Empire State Plaza. In 2014 student work was also shown at the Grohe America Showroom in Manhattan. You can view photos of NY11+ here.
The Interior + Spatial Design program provides students with a variety of design-related volunteer opportunities. Our successful Habitat for Humanity project gave students the opportunity to contribute to their local community. The project was covered local media, including the Times Union. In addition, this year our students will participate in CANstruction for the first time!
Sage IND students have many opportunities to exhibit their work. An annual student show in the Little Gallery showcases the work of our junior and senior classes and our seniors are also part of the annual BFA exhibition in the Opalka Gallery. These exhibitions are open to the public and provide our students with an opportunity to show their work to a wider audience.
Additionally, students have presented projects to clients throughout the capital region and student work has also been exhibited at NeoCon in Chicago. You can view images of our exhibitions and client presentations here.
