2011 Recruiting: Delonte Hollowell
Previously: CB Greg Brown, CB/S Tamani Carter, CB Blake Countess.
|Detroit, MI - 5'8" 162
|3* to 247.
|Other Suitors
|Brandon Harrison
|Previously On MGoBlog
|Commitment post.
|Cass Tech (Campbell, Jones, Gordon, etc.)
Delonte Hollowell is archetypical in many ways. He committed to Michigan before anyone else in his class (doing so before the previous signing day), he's a cornerback best described as "beyond tiny," and he comes from Thomas Wilcher's Cass Tech program. He is the median Cass Tech recruit.
This time around the recruiting sites were less enthusiastic, at least eventually. Though Hollowell started off in the Rivals 250 by the end of the season he'd dropped to a three star everywhere save ESPN, which tends to rate 'em and forget 'em unless you show up at the Under Armor game.
It's hard to fault that assessment. Hollowell really is tiny—he measured in at 5'8.3" at the Army combine a year and a half ago—and of late Cass Tech recruits have proven a bit overrated. Since his early commitment prevented everyone save Central Michigan from offering we don't have much to dispute those fairly mediocre rankings. What's more, the Army combine performance that landed him on the All-Combine team and got him an early fourth star was frankly underwhelming. While he benched a lot of weight and jumped high he also ran a 4.88 40, which tied for 40th amongst participants. (If that sounds awful, the top time was a 4.55. Subtract at least two tenths to get a FAKE equivalent.) His shuttle was in the same range. Those seem like more important indicators than a bench press for a high school corner.
It's not all bad, though. Though Rivals dropped him to a three star it was by the smallest possible margin. The guy one slot ahead of him got that star. ESPN did think well enough of him to give him a fourth star. And it seems like he's got the intangibles down:
During his presentation, Rodriguez told the story of deciding which of two unnamed prospects to offer last year.
"I said, 'I want to take him,'" Rodriguez said. "The coaches said, 'Why do you want him?' I said, 'I was at the Sound Mind, Sound Body camp and I watched the one-on-ones and that guy was trying to get in the front of the line and that guy was trying to hide in the back.' I want the guy that wants to take every rep against every guy, who's not afraid to compete.
"So we took that guy, and I'm glad we did because he's going to be a great player."
Hollowell was at the SMSB camp last year, and those who know him say that sounds like him.
Of course, Justin Feagin also had the intangibles down, caveats, etc., etc. An assessment of that camp says Hollowell "regularly stepped up" to battle eventual Vol DeAnthony Arnett but did not come out on top often.
The median Hollowell scouting report reads "Despite his size, Delonte Hollowell's size despite should be taller his size Y U NO taller despite his size." Delonte Hollowell is not a large person. Examples from Rivals($)…
"Delonte Hollowell has a lot of upside and athleticism despite being small for a cornerback."
…from the Army Combine…
Delonte Hollowell may have not been the biggest corner, but he was one of the strongest competitors. Hollowell benched more than his body weight 19 times, while posting a 33 inch vertical.
And from ESPN($):
Has a well-defined, deceptively strong body but does have marginal height and could struggle to defend the jump-ball versus today's taller college receivers.
You get the idea.
At this point we've got a very small corner who's not that fast or quick at this one combine and you might be wondering WTF. Well, maybe that combine was a bad day or something because every subjective assessment says he's not quite as quick as Dior Mathis but there's no shame in that. Rivals scouted a game of his and came away calling him a "taller, thicker" version of the even more diminutive Mathis..
When not talking about his height ESPN sounds generally impressed($):
If Hollowell had a bit more size he would likely be considered a top national cornerback prospect. ... Has a tight, fluid pedal and transitions smoothly in and out. Sharp and direct out of his breaks with good burst; can decrease receiver separation quickly. Does a good job reading the quarterback and jumping routes in zone schemes and can mirror tightly with his fluid hips and turns in off-man coverages. Very effective in press and bump-and-run coverages as well.
A lack of top-end speed is their other main complaint; they figure that combined with his height limits him to a nickelback and underneath corner. That assessment was echoed by Sam Webb($) when he saw Hollowell at the Army combine:
This aggressive youngster is at his best when he can get his hands on receivers. … At this stage of development he isn't as adept at playing off of receivers as he is up on them. A few times he stayed in his back pedal too long, giving the receivers too much of an advantage. By the time he decided to turn and run the receiver had achieved far too much separation for him to make up. As a mid 4.5 to 4.6 guy he won't make a living hawking guys down from behind. That said, when he could get up on guys and bump them a bit, he had no problem staying with virtually everyone he covered.
Similarly, Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher praises his jam:
"He's a good pressure cornerback," coach Thomas Wilcher said. "He has good feet and hands, and he jams the receiver."
Touch The Banner also knocks Hollowell's lack of "elite athleticism and speed" but likes his hands and adjustments when the ball is in the air. The chorus is in harmony.
Etc.: Photo gallery. Rivals checked him out as a junior($) they said he does "a good job of turning and running with receivers down the field, and appears to be an aggressive tackler." Another Wilcher quote: "He's aggressive, tough. He's smart, good head on his shoulders."
Why Brandon Harrison? Like Hollowell, Harrison was a super-quick, tougher-than-you-think 5'8" guy who lived on the 3-4 star borderline as a recruit. If you ignore the Army combine numbers in favor of the scouting assessments, Hollowell is also that guy.
Why not Cissoko? Hope about his situation, mostly. There are small cornerbacks and then there are the Cissokos and Harrisons and Hollowells of the world. By the time Cissoko saw the field it was clear that whatever his recruiting rankings were they were too high—put him up against a 6'3" guy and he might as well not be on the field. Harrison, on the other hand, had the luxury of playing inside as a nickelback. This largely protected him from downfield doom against the Michael Floyds of the world.
With three other cornerbacks in his recruiting class, two in front of him, and a couple more guys coming in next year Michigan should be able to protect Hollowell from a Cissoko-like fate. Michigan has also moved back to a 4-3 under with a dedicated nickelback for spread teams and passing downs—they've revived the Brandon Harrison spot just in time for this YMRMFSPA.
Guru Reliability: High-ish. Heavily scouted player who attended a bunch of camps and was healthy. Only "-ish" because of a significant spread in rankings.
General Excitement Level: Meh. I can't get over Hollowell's obvious physical limitations and the parade of Cass Tech guys who need a ton of coaching before they can be effective in college, if they ever get there. He's got a role, but it will be a limited one achieved only after a few years in the program.
Projection: Almost certain to redshirt and will probably sit on the bench for another couple years as Avery and Countess and maybe a couple other guys suck up the available snaps at corner. As a significantly more polished but probably no taller upperclassmen his best bet is to replace fellow Cass alum Thomas Gordon as the nickelback three years from now.
Tressel Billboard: Not Our Fault
Remember this?
Everyone assumed that because it showed up on I-94 somewhat near Ann Arbor (it's close to the airport) that Michigan fans were responsible for it. But if you know anything about Paul Reiser-penned billboards in Michigan you know that Michigan State fans love 'em. Example one:
At this point we cannot act like we have been there because we haven't.
Example two:
It's almost as if there's some billboard company with spare inventory run by Spartan Paul Reiser. Reader Section 1 finds SPR:
The idea actually came from a Michigan State alum, who also happens to be the local sales manager for CBS Outdoor advertising.
About 10-12 of the boards are expected to be put up around the state, most with sponsor names on them.
Two are already in place -- on northbound I-75, north of I-94, and another in Grand Rapids. There's also one coming to the Lansing area, and the rest will be located in metro-Detroit.
"I have several State alumni and State fans that work for me," said Tom Carroll, vice president of the Michigan Region for CBS Outdoor. "The billboard is our response to Michigan State getting snubbed."
Section 1 went so far as to call up Bob Brown, another Michigan State guy who used the close-your-eyes-and-don't-think-of-Iowa billboard to express "frustration," and ask him who was behind the billboards. They refused to answer, saying only that the buyer was anonymous. Why they'd be so reticent now when they'd embraced their role as the state's key purveyor of stupid sports-themed billboards is unknown. It's probably not the sudden onset of shame.
Unfortunately for Spartan Paul Reiser, his kid sold him out. An emailer relates:
I put a pic of the billboard up on my Facebook page, and got a response from a [high school] classmate who is a Facebook friend of mine – Brad Carroll. He said his dad had created the billboard, and had shown him a mock up a couple weeks earlier. At the time I thought nothing of it, other than that his dad was a Michigan fan.
In the aftermath of the Section 1 post the emailer deduces that Brad is Tom Carroll's son. The googles confirm by turning up a CBS Outdoor Detroit Facebook page that only people with the last name Carroll have bothered to like things on, one of whom is a Brad who matches the biographical information elided above. QED.
As per usual, Michigan State fans are responsible for the stupid billboards. Stay your wakizashi and carefully tell the guy with the katana to go get some ice cream: your honor is restored.
Dear Diary Takes Core Requirements
Hoke's Glorious Kingdom, Which is His / Angela Cesere|AnnArbor.com
Dear Diary,
April in the D is overrated, but I can't complain about May in Michigan. As I write this I'm sunburned from the year's first sail, half-comatose from the first grilled burger, and spamming F5 on the MGoBlog home page so I don't miss another victorious recruiting battle. This being Michigan of course the week came with one rain storm, one frost, and two fuuuuuuuuuuu's, but today the sun is shining, the uber alleles are replicating, the warring has ended, and general sentiment feels our winter of discontent can be made glorious by this son of Hoke.
Last week's Diary of the Week made the state of Michigan football analogous to morning; maybe spring's more like it.
The week has also seen a few hands take their turns at analyzing recruiting rankings. Before they came out I was goofing with my own attempt at such but…yeah, lots of work, that. What I do have however is a comprehensive Big Ten recruiting database started. First comparable,
Percentage of recruits from in-state from 2002-2011:
|Ohio State
|Penn State
|Michigan State
Some of these are thrown off by the few schools that sign a substantial amount of JUCOs (Minnesota, Purdue, MSU) but if you pull them it doesn't change much of anything above.
Percent of players from source:
|Michigan State
|Penn State
|Ohio State
Are you surprised? The Ohio State homegrown number really stands out. What struck me was that the numbers are so low across the conference. This makes sense if you think about the relative populations of these states, kind of. Less populous Iowa had to leave the corn fields, while Ohio State can run a McKinley-style front porch recruiting campaign. What it doesn't gel with are the general perceptions of teams that "win with homegrown talent." Ohio State can say that but Wisconsin – even after dominating on the home front – still must travel abroad for most of its players.
Like this but with free cars
As for Michigan State, their hypothesis is that John L. Smith went out of state while Dantonio "got it." Let's test that:
- JLS (2003-'06): 23.36% recruits from Michigan (M: 27.16% in that time)
- Dantonio (2007-'11): 44.55% recruits from Michigan (M 21.24% in that time)
Seems to be right. The classes:
* Morris Watts was interim H.C. for the last three games of '02 after Bobby Williams was fired. JLS arrived right after the bowls. The '03 class was mostly Bobby's.
** The Michigan recruiting was mostly done by Carr; Rodriguez added five players, all from out-of-state.
There's nothing substantially different about Michigan from late-Carr to RR, except the huge in-state recruiting year in '02. If there was a "he cares" meme going up it was based on disparity. Dantonio's 2011 class looks like it went "national" but really he moved even more heavily into Ohio. So let's see that:
Percent of Recruits from Any Big Ten State:
|Ohio State
|Michigan State
|Penn State
And Michigan's regional recruiting by year (with how M finished the previous season):
|Previous Year's Result
|8-4 / 6-2, lost 45-17 to Tennessee in Citrus Bowl
|10-3 / 6-2, def. Florida 38-30 in Outback Bowl
|10-3 / 7-1. lost 28-14 to USC in Rose Bowl
|9-3 / 7-1, lost 38-37 to Texas in Rose Bowl
|7-5 / 5-3, lost 32-28 to Nebraska in Alamo Bowl
|11-2 / 7-1, lost 32-18 to USC in Rose Bowl
|9-4 / 6-2, def. Florida 41-35 in Citrus Bowl, New Coach
|3-9 / 2-6, no bowl.
|5-7 / 1-7, no bowl.
|7-6 / 3-5, lost 52-14 to Miss. St in Gator Bowl, New Coach
Recruiting is a perception game, not just numbers, but you can clearly see how perception has affected Michigan's out-of-state recruiting. However the top chart seems to equate winning periods with success and vice versa. Look at Purdue in the Orton/Kirsch era as opposed to after. See Minnesota under Mason as opposed to KILL FIGHT WIN! See the Dantonio Effect at MSU. But I don't think you can take this and declare "Big Ten recruiting wins championships." Take Indiana: they got over 40% from elsewhere when they sucked in the early 2000s, and just 20% from elsewhere today.
What you see is two years of DiNardo riding post-Randel El fame until his teams were so bad the XFL wouldn't take him back had they still existed. Indiana recruits locally because few people outside of the footprint would consider going to Indiana when they can sign with a Mid-Major and win some football games once in awhile. Ohio's in-region numbers are driven by their ridiculous in-state rate. Penn State's is low because they exist outside the Midwest and use Maryland, Jersey, and the D.C. area like we use Ohio. All this chart really shows, without knowing the context for each team, is possible evidence of strategy:
- Looks like they took it outside: Zook, Brewster, JLS, Rodriguez?
- Looks like they focused inside: Dantonio, Tressel
The evidence isn't strong enough to claim either as fact. So one last chart:
Percent of Big Ten-Bound In-State Recruits Who Chose School X: (numbers are for that school's own state):
|Penn State
|Michigan State
|Ohio State
Here strategies become slightly apparent. Ferentz may fill his roster with non-Iowans but only after he makes sure virtually every Iowan who can play for a Big Ten team will play for his. Wisconsin and Minnesota also stand out for keeping talent home. Most of the Minnesotans who weren't Gophers were Badgers. Of the 28% of Big Ten cheeseheads who don't end up at Wisconsin, 9% went to rival and neighbor Minnesota, 6% went to Indiana, which probably means they didn't have an offer, and 5% went to Northwestern, which is close to Wis. population centers and a better school and also probably a place for kids Wisconsin didn't want.
Indiana takes what it can. Penn State accesses the Atlantic States but can't protect its West from hemorrhaging talent all around the conference. Michigan State since '06 is heavy into the 3-stars Michigan didn't want (and the 4- and 5-stars Michigan did want). Ohio State and Illinois are homebodies because they are state schools for very populous states. Purdue and Northwestern draw from all over, though the Boilermakers have seemingly shifted away from bothering with their home state in favor of being players in Chicagoland and all around the conference.
Then there's Michigan. Big school in a shared state, we get only a quarter of the in-state talent. It's apparent from this why it's so important to compete in Ohio and around the country: the presence of a sibling makes the Iowa/Wisconsin home-first strategy impractical. I leave the rest of the conclusions to you; on to the diaries.
Whatever your boss wants you to be doing right now, it can wait while you check out this Diary of the Week-winning set of recruiting maps, updated by Rescue_Dawn. This time he broke up the maps into commits, (red), Offense offers (maize) and Defense offers (blue). The bigger the circle, the higher profile the recruit according to the services. It went up before Standifer got his offer but otherwise it's up to date.
But wait, there's more: Thanks to Deep Under Cover you can now contribute to a Google version of this, a sort of Google Wiki Mappy Thing (Internet, it's time for new words; we used up your words):
It is an empty slate, so get cracking.
Bumped from the boards to the diaries, and then from there to the front page this week was Gopherine's piece on Recruiting Bias and Accuracy, who got the Black Heart Gold Pants guy to pony up the data from the recruiting to NFL study* to check out whether under-scouted players outperformed their recruiting rankings.
Of course, the chart doesn't disprove my mildly paranoid belief that Midwesterners are consistently being slighted by the jerks on the coasts, so let's call this a win.
Note that the Midwestern 5 star recruits underperform the mean. This has no impact on the claim (5 star recruits can't be underrated), but it's interesting nonetheless. Really small samples for 5 stars is all the explanation I need.

Classical Philosophy
I'm more an old comedy man myself, but even Philosopher Kings are down for puffin' up the pillows, breaking out the good Grechetto, and getting into a good ol' fashioned seminar on Why do we watch football? Plato, according to WatersDemos:
Football is our way of observing our own ideal cities in speech. It engages all three elements of the soul, and teaches us that only proper ordering of the soul can lead to success. In this case, the reason element is represented by the head coach, who (hopefully) is akin to a football philosopher king. Second, you have the courageous/spirited element, i.e., the players, who hopefully are akin to football warriors. Finally, you have the desire element, represented by the fans, whose generally unrealistic and limitless demands really belong on the bottom of this pyramid (with some exceptions of course).
Read, and become a better man for it.
Eye of the Tiger read some tea leaves and described four plausible scenarios for the 2011 season, revealing the fears and hopes of this great unknown.
- 10-2: A weakened Big Ten sees Michigan return to the Rose Bowl, though he admits this is unlikely.
- 9-3/8-4: Progressive improvement over the season, maybe with a win over reeling Buckeyes?
- 7-5/6-6: A different kind of mediocrity, which is one or two injuries to the O-line away.
- 5-7 or worse: It takes years to build up from one of the worst defenses in the country, but ruining one of the best offenses can happen much faster.
Hi Mom!
My Mom is the only other family member to go to Michigan. On State week she puts on maize and blue and ribs my MSU siblings about had they only studied harder. Without her I never would have pursued my career, gone to my school, met my friends or my wife. She has read (and unsolicitedly copy edited) almost anything I've ever written. In the words of Mr. Slocum: i love her i think she da realest bitch alive.
Unverified Voracity Needs A Bigger Ark
Also I lost money on Stately Victor. So I chose a bad weekend to take a semi-vacation. Every time I hopped on my phone to see what was going down, Michigan was picking up a DE commit or Ohio State was seeing its troubles expand or Michigan State fans were having entertaining meltdowns or the OHL draft was somehow giving Michigan commitments instead of stealing them. You think it's just a random weekend in May and surely the only thing you're going to miss is nothing. Not so much. But if that's going to happen every time I'm out of pocket I'll be in the Yukon until August even if we pick up some suspensions along the way.
It all started with dozens of cars over a decade. The Dispatch reports Ohio State is looking into their players' tendency to buy cars from one guy with the usual level of signed memorabilia in his office and at least one very interesting sale:
Public records show that in 2009, a 2-year-old Chrysler 300 with less than 20,000 miles was titled to then-sophomore linebacker Thaddeus Gibson. Documents show the purchase price as $0.
Unfortunately for people wishing to see OSU bombed into the stone age, the Dispatch found that "nearly half" of the cars are on record as being sold for less than the Blue Book value, which is a way of saying it seems like there's a reasonable distribution of prices when that price isn't no dollars. That's unless the cars in question are all blinged out yo—the Dispatch only knows make and model.
However, in addition to all these sales this Kniffin guy also loaned Terrelle Pryor the cars he was driving when he was pulled over three times in loaners. It's extremely implausible that the NCAA won't be able to put together another finding of improper benefits. It was also implausible that Pryor could get away with the car hijinks and he did.
Ohio State compliance is putting up a brave face, but privately the prospect of Kniffin and his 130k in IRS debt facing down the law for misreporting sale prices for these cars has to be foreboding. If there's a choice between jail and confirming documents that would expand the scope of OSU's trouble to include a lack of institutional control, skeezy guy in undisclosed state will no doubt take the latter.
Still need that smoking gun to turn up, unless OSU's crack compliance storm troopers investigating car purchases and letting that Gibson thing slide is it. Ohio recruiting guru and OSU partisan Duane Long:
What about Pryor? I mean, every dealership owner is totally cool with letting me test drive their personal automobile for days on end across state lines. Especially when I was in college. Apparently that's when I was most trustworthy. That story is believable right?
Now we find out it's not just star players, it's a bunch of players AND their families. Good Lord.
Don't fret Buckeyes because this stuff was already cleared by OSU compliance. Whew!!! I knew they were on top of this. Sure they missed years of players cashing in on items that we would cherish our entire lives but are trivial to the players in exchange for tattoos and cash. But buying cars, they were all over it. Color me relieved, except for one thing. I saw a post asking one simple question, If all of this was cleared already then why the INTERNAL investigation? Hasn't there already been one? Hasn't it already been cleared? So what if the Dispatch thinks it's a big deal. The answer to the Dispatch article is "It's already been cleared". Case closed. Story over. But that's not what's happening. Instead we muttered under our breath like Latoya Jackson's mousy voice "we cleared this" and then contradicted the value of that entire "clearing" by announcing our internal investigation. That is ridiculous. Doing this internal investigation is a big announcement to the world "Yeah we didn't really clear anything and we would hope you guys wouldn't notice".
It beggars belief that 50 different Buckeyes all got a legitimate deal with one particular salesman who has provably given Terrelle Pryor rides no one else would get. Maurice Wells' mom bought a car in Columbus. She lives in Maryland. So did Pryor's mother and brother, who live in Pennsylvania. The NCAA should be able to ask anyone with eligibility to prove they're making the payments the notes claim they are with permanent ineligibility the alternative. There's clearly enough circumstantial evidence to suggest what went down was rife with illegal benefits. If they don't they're making a mockery of their enforcement process at a school that's already done a better job of that than USC.
The car thing brings options approaching nuclear into play. Basketball players are involved and violations uncovered could stretch back a decade to when Maurice Clarett and Marco Cooper told ESPN they were given loaner cars and sweetheart deals. If the NCAA uncovers an ineffectual see-no-evil car accounting system in the wake of that very public accusation, pairing that with Tatgate makes for the worst NCAA violation in a long, long time.
BONUS: Texas fans are running a strong second to Michigan when it comes to e-outrage about this stuff. Burnt Orange Nation campaigns for a show-cause—their third post on the subject—and Barking Carnival opens up both barrels as well. A sniff of Switzer is a red cape to Longhorns.
Other possibility: Malletts be Mallettin'. Ryan Mallett's father dropped a dual bombshell as he tried to explain why his kid transferred away from Michgian, saying that Lloyd Carr told Mallett to transfer and Rodriguez didn't pursue Mallett as hard as he should have. The latter quote:
"Ryan's the one who called (Rich Rod)," Jim Mallett continued. "He said, "Can I talk about the offense?' And then he told me, 'Daddy, (Rodriguez) never looked me in the eye.' He never visited with the family, he didn't talk to us. I never met the man. But hey, it wasn't a fit. Let's move on."
This set off another minor war between the Rodriguez and Carr factions vying to determine which of them was incrementally less of an asshat over the last three years. There is another possibility: this is just a self-serving remembrance from the sort of guy who promises "revenge" on Miami for not drafting his kid. For one, Rodriguez never looked Mallett in the eye because Mallett was in Arkansas, not Michigan—unusual behavior for a player planning on staying at Michigan. For two, Carr told Mallett to transfer plenty before he'd even retired. I believe Carr told Mallett to GTFO, but it wasn't because he was looking out for his player.
The team. The team:
Also the team.
Stonum suspension redux. Darryl Stonum has been suspended "indefinitely" for his second DUI, which is better than the rumor I got in my inbox that he had gotten the heave-ho but seemingly not much better. Stonum had a breakout 2010 and could have done so again as a focal point when Michigan went under center; now he could be out for anywhere from a couple games to the year. Michigan could hypothetically redshirt him, FWIW.
I wish I had something to offer about how serious the on-field repercussions would be but it sounds like that's up to Stonum's actions over the next few months. A second DUI is a serious offense.
We're going to need a bigger ark. Michigan picked up a pair of WDE commits over the weekend from Ohio's Pharaoh Brown and Michigan's Mario Ojemudia, bringing their 2012 class to ten guys all from Michigan and Ohio, all offensive linemen or front-seven defensive players. This would be Brady Hoke self-parody if every guy in the class didn't sport the offer list of a guy at least on the 3-4 star borderline, but they all do so it's just good stuff. Michigan has 17 slots right now and can push that to 19 by not offering a couple of guys fifth years; with a reasonable amount of attrition they'll be looking at a class of 22 or more.
They seem to lead for Matt Godin, Chris Wormley, Terry Richardson, Anthony Standifer, and Jordan Diamond. They'll probably grab two DTs from the Pipkins/O'Brien/Day/Johnson group, which brings them to around 17. The five remaining scholarships go to:
- Mystery QB
- Mystery RB, Preferably Blue Chip, Thx
- Hypothetically Qualified Aaron Burbridge or Mystery Outside WR
- Mystery OT Probably From California
- Mystery OT
If they end up whiffing on any of the guys counted in the class it will probably be Wormley, at which point Michigan will put the full court press on the touted SDEs who veritably litter Ohio this year and, given the way things seem to be going, get one.
Michigan's problems, such as they are: getting the second WR it seems they need, finding a true safety, and smushing MI TE Ron Thompson in. If they bloat this class up to 25 they can add Thompson, another safety, and another WR without squeezing out that fifth OL.
That's asking for six kids to leave the team before February. I can glance at the Depth Chart By Class and easily pick off six guys whose absence wouldn't be felt but that's somewhere between rude and skeezy. While Michigan won't put themselves in a situation where they sign a bunch of guys and then say "medical scholarships for everyone," the best interests of the program are now aligned with certain guys leaving it. That's uncomfortable.
Tell me something I don't know. Rivals initial top 100 is a bit light on Midwesterners and, as usual, over-represented by the Texas/California/Florida triumvirate. I'm working on a larger post about this but:
- From 2000-2006 Texas, Florida, and California supplied 35% of NFL draft picks. From 2007-2010 they supplied 34%.
- This year's Rivals 100 has 48 players from those three states.
- The Midwest (MN, IA, WI, IL, IN, MI, OH, PA) supplied 17% of NFL draft picks.
- This year's Rivals 100 has 15 players from those states.
I haven't looked at enough data to see what the issue is but my bet is consistent overrating of Big Three players at a the near-uniform expense of everyone else. Some of this is inevitable unless you expect the Rivals guys to figure out which half a Montanan is going to get drafted every year, but if you suck out the odd NFL player from the ignored Great Plains and New England states you should be overrating the rest fairly uniformly. That hasn't happened so far this year.
Caveat: it's possible that the good players in the big states get scouted sooner, leaving the rest of the nation to catch up. That would mean the final Rivals 100 would be less Big Three biased. I'm not sure yet, which is why there's a post in the works.
Etc.: Brandon Burlon's departure is official. Michigan's solar car hits the NYT. They're going to paint the imaginary no-charge circle on the floor. Beilein thinks that helps but I'm not sure since their defense is built around charges, not blocked shots. Hockey's endzone nets are stupid.
There's been some chatter about Terry Richardson's upcoming announcement being a twitter prank from Royce Jenkins-Stone but 247's Steve Wiltfong reports that Cass Tech coach Tom Wilcher says Richardson will "probably make his decision this week." With Ross and Jenkins-Stone in the boat, Michigan is the presumed favorite.
In Soviet OHL Draft, Michigan Gets Commitments?
Bryson Cianfrone, Max Domi
If you're a Michigan fan, Saturday's OHL draft was the Best OHL Draft Ever. This isn't exactly a high bar to leap, but not only did Michigan commits plummet well into the "what the hell, why not" range* but Bob Miller of The Wolverine reports Michigan may have actually picked up(!) a commitment instead of lost one:
A very valued source reports this morning that Bryson Cianfrone's selection in the third round of yesterday's OHL draft instead of the first round position he should have held may be due to a commitment to the University of Michigan. Cianfrone is smaller in stature and large in talent. Seen by many as a lock for the first round, he fell to hometown (Toronto area) Brampton in the third round.
The third round is not quite what-the-hell territory but that drop is significant. I poked around some OHL mock drafts published before Saturday, and all had him in the top ten because he is "explosive." Yost Built has more details. As a small, skilled Italian center from Toronto the comparisons to Cammalleri are inevitable, but Miller says he's more of a Shouneyia—a playmaker. I'm not sure how reliable this site is but it says Cianfrone will graduate in 2012, which means he could be a very young freshman next year if he so desired.
The other possibility is that Cianfrone really wanted to go to Brampton for some reason and he'll sign. We'll see. If Cianfrone is really ready to go in 2012 that means one fewer year cooling his heels and indicates he's the kind of student who puts a priority on his education.
Meanwhile, while Max Domi did go to Kingston like everyone figured he would, the second thing everyone thought he'd do—reconsider the college thing for the OHL and his dad's old teammates—hasn't happened yet. In fact, the younger Domi tweeted he'd be at Michigan yesterday:
@jjmarks16 naw man im not playing for kingston... heading down to the ushl and playing for inde i think
@jjmarks16 ya man im heading down to michigan u in 2 years
Doug Gilmour also said his first round pick wasn't going to report:
"I spoke to Tie and his ex-wife Leanne (recently) and their decision is to go elsewhere right now," Gilmour said. "But this is junior hockey and there could be changes. If he wants to play in this league, it's kind of up to us. I'd love to have him."
If that seems insane to you, remember that the OHL now gives you a compensatory draft pick one slot lower if you don't get your first-rounder signed. They may think it's worth the flier that Max doesn't take to the USHL since the cost isn't that steep.
So is that, like, a commitment? We're past the OHL draft and so there's no reason to say you're going to Michigan unless you're… like… going to Michigan. If so that would put Domi in the 2013 class with Compher, et al. (Note: I had erroneously assumed Domi was a 2012 prospect earlier.) If only hockey had developed an intricate hat dance rite that marked a prospect's passage into commitmenthood. Then we would know and pester Chris Heisenberg to update his spreadsheet.
In any case, the possible additions of Cianfrone and Domi in 2012/2013 would create a huge logjam at forward. Those two would bulge Michigan's forward corps to 17 in 2013, and while you have to expect some attrition there aren't a whole lot of early departure types on that list save Boo Nieves (who would be a sophomore) and maybe Alex Guptill (a junior). Two years is a long time to keep 17 kids in the boat, though, and Domi and Cianfrone are still liable to wriggle out.
Bonus Random Scouting
Since the world gets scouted for the OHL draft it provides an opportunity for Michigan fans to figure out just what kind of player they can expect at Yost in a couple years. A few bits on Evan Allen:
Silverstick MVP. Absolutely punishing hitter that plays with a mean streak. Did a great job of overwhelming the Marlies in their lone meeting this season. Very solid skill set, and obvious point producer. Most likely going to be a part of the USNDP team.
More Allen:
"Speedy forward who competes at a very high level. Possesses a very good shot with a pro-style release."
Tyler Motte:
"Reads the play in the offensive zone well. Extremely dangerous in the goal scoring area. If my team needed a goal, this is the guy I want with the puck on his stick."
Alex Talcott:
"Good north/south skating prospect with excellent acceleration. Not afraid to go to the tough areas of the ice to score. Another player that improved his overall game by playing Major Midget this season."
Miller also reproduced the OHL media guide descriptions of Domi, Compher, Cianfrone, and Guertler. Save Compher, They're all small, skilled, and explosive.
*[Motte, Compher, Allen, and Talcott were all drafted after the tenth round and only Allen went to a team (Windsor) with any rep for picking off Americans with college commitments. Michigan target Gabe Guertler went in the sixth but if Michigan really has commitments from Cianfrone and Domi I can't see how they can cram him onto the roster, too.]
TomVH: Weekly Update: Bri'onte Dunn, Malik Gilmore, Anthony Standifer, and More
This weekend ended up being a huge deal for Michigan recruiting. Not only did they secure commitments from Pharaoh Brown and Mario Ojemudia, but they got instate receiver Aaron Burbridge and Ohio State commit Bri'onte Dunn to visit as well. Here's a look at what Dunn thought of his trip, what may be happening in the near future, and thoughts from a few other prospects.
Bri'onte Dunn
6'2", 215 lbs.
Running Back
Canton, Ohio
While Dunn is still committed to Ohio State he has been public about his desire to visit Michigan for some time. The Michigan coaches impressed him when they offered him, and there has been some sort of interest ever since. The recent happenings with Ohio State and the NCAA have gotten the Dunn's attention, and they have said they will continue to monitor what happens in Columbus. I spoke with both Bri'onte and his father after the trip to Ann Arbor. Here's what his father had to say first.
[The visit] went pretty good. They showed us around, we went through the stadium, and basically went around the whole campus. We got a good welcome in there. The head coach, Brady Hoke, wasn't there but we were talking to the rest of the coaches.
They told him he fits in their offense and that they want a back his size. They need a running back. We went up here because he wanted to go to a few places to get the experience. It's just been all Ohio State, so he wanted to look around a little bit. You always have to have a backup plan, too. It was a good trip, though, and his cousin [2013 DB] Dymonte Thomas schooled him on it after he went up there. They've talked about going to school together too.
Both Bri'onte and his father didn't really want to let out too much about the visit or where he stands on either side. Here's the limited amount that Bri'onte was willing to say.
It was better than I expected. They showed us around a lot and explained all the schooling stuff to us. They were good people, they seem like I could build a relationship with them. I'm just looking around right now, I'm still committed to Ohio State.
Like I said, Bri'onte didn't want to put too much out there yet. He wasn't comfortable answering a few of my tougher questions about his situation. I think a lot of this will depend on what happens with the NCAA investigation. I also think that this is just the start of a courtship, and I wouldn't expect anything to happen anytime soon. Either way, it's a positive for Michigan to get him on campus and put a face to a name with the coaches.
Anthony Standifer
6'1", 178 lbs
Crete, Illinois
Standifer had been told he was close to a Michigan offer a few weeks back. One of the Michigan coaches was out to see him in person this week, and Anthony was given an offer based on his performance. Things could start moving pretty rapidly for him now that the offer is official.
I have very very strong interest in Michigan. Me and my mom and dad are going to sit down and figure everything out, but I'll be visiting on Thursday [May 12th]. I was just excited and at a loss for words when they offered. I feel very thankful and appreciative for the offer. Michigan is at the top of my list.
He says he has very strong interest, but isn't sure when he wants to make his final decision.
I haven't been down there yet to see much, but I love the stadium and just the football atmosphere there. They told me that I'm a Michigan corner and that they want size, and to get down there ASAP.
I'm not saying it will for sure happen, but I believe there is a chance that Anthony could pull the trigger on his visit. He seemed excited but unsure of what he wanted to do. If the trip goes well don't be surprised if he makes the call on the spot. Before you ask, this wouldn't have any affect on the recruitment of any other defensive backs, including Terry Richardson.
Malik Gilmore
6'3", 195 lbs.
Wide Receiver
Lakewood, California
Gilmore is a prospect that has been a little on the quiet side lately. He holds a Michigan offer as well as Arizona State, Duke, Notre Dame, San Diego State, Utah, and Washington. Despite living in California Gilmore says he has serious interest in Michigan.
[Michigan] is definitely a school I'm interested in. I mean we don't really hear that much about them out here, so to learn more about the program and school would be great. I know they have a rich tradition and good academics, it's a huge program. They have been down for awhile, but the new head coach that they have I'm sure is going to turn it around.
Gilmore wasn't positive but he had thought that Brady Hoke offered him previously while at San Diego State. While GIlmore does like Michigan, it's still early in the process for him.
I'm still taking everything in right now. I want to get out and take my visits and then I will start to narrow down the schools. I've been hearing from Cal, UCLA, and Northwestern lately, so we'll see. I'm not sure what I want to do yet, but I will be seriously considering Michigan in all this.
Gilmore holds a Michigan offer, but since he wants to take his time, I'm not sure how it will play out for him.
The commitment of Mario Ojemudia has increased Michigan's chances with his teammate, WR Aaron Burbridge. If they put the full court press on Burbridge they have a chance at landing him.
Instate DE Matt Godin is announcing this Thursday the 12th. He's down to Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin. His announcement will be public, so you'll know.
A lot of people were asking if the commitment from Pharaoh Brown and Mario Ojemudia would have any affect on Chris Wormley or Matt Godin, and the answer is no. Brown and Ojemudia are weakside ends, and Michigan is recruiting Godin and Wormley for the strong side. They will take all four if they fall that way.
Illinois DT Jaleel Johnson was offered this week. I believe Michigan has a good chance with Johnson.
Arizona ATH DJ Foster was offered this week. He has interest in Michigan, but they will need to get him on campus before any serious interest could happen. Oregon is the likely early leader.
[Ed: Chatter on twitter is that MI CB Terry Richardson may be announcing soon; hopefully "Roll Tide Nation" is just a tweak directed at Ross and RJS. Also, the Rivals 100 is out. RJS is the only state of Michigan player in the top 100 at #87.]

Local knowledge helped Greg Paterson, from the New Golf Club of St Andrews, to a three under par 69.

The beautiful and pampered Lady Jane Lennox was willing to abandon the wealth and luxury of her English aristocracy for peril and poverty...all to find the man whose eyes had entranced her, whose smile had enslaved her since childhood, Terence MacKenzie...even if this meant crossing an ocean to the primeval America colonies and indenturing herself to Ethan Gordon to work on his Virginia indigo plantation. What she didn't count on was being caught up in the revolutionists' war against the Mother Country...nor being caught up in her master's dangerous passion.

"Nice travel companion"
Loved the story, I really enjoyed how she intertwined her story with our American history. The only complaint is the over use of the word "and".
"Terrible performance, ok story"
The story might have come across better with a more talented narrator. I hate to be negative but his performance was truly lacking. It made me not even care when I'd spaced out missing minutes at a time....kinda got to the point of just wanting to be done with it.

Camera: Anonymous
I could tell you but I wouldn't want you to get all pissy if it's the wrong brand
Lukas thanks for the comments. I did take a few more that were zoomed in closer but they lost the sun rays. The bush was actually a large tree and there was a fenced off field stopping me getting a better close view I'm afraid. Here's a zoomed one.
Didn't quite manage to loose the other tree though.
Around every picture there's a corner & round every corner there's a picture
- the fun's in finding them
I like that much better even though the rays disappeared on you
I like the layers in the rolling hills.
Phil, I can't dedide between these shots - I love the drama of the suns rays
but I love the subtle layers & colours of the zoomed image - if pushed I maybe prefer the zoomed...
Great pics!!

Thanks guys I share your thoughts both images have their good points. Who knows one day maybe I'll be able to combine the best bits of both.

Beautiful kg, that looks like a pretty inspiring place. A Christmas holiday?
Thanks, Phill. No, I imagine it would be a bit snowy about now. I spent 2 weeks in Alaska this Summer and am finally getting around to sorting through far too many photos.

Franchising is a lucrative and competitive business investment, and the right IT infrastructure partner has the potential to help franchisors reduce overhead costs, leverage economies of scale and minimize IT headaches. Digital West is a multi-service technology infrastructure provider that works with franchiors to provide turnkey solutions to all of your locations. Through our global network of data centers, we deliver connectivity, telephony, cloud services, security and a host of other critical digital solutions. We take the hassle out of setting up new locations and make improvements to those that are already up and running so that they experience less downtime, less need for tech support, and increased productivity.
Franchise Tech Challenges & Trends
- Inconsistent Customer Experience: Multi-unit owners often are unable to deliver a consistent customer experience because each location requires multiple tech providers (e.g., phone, Internet, wifi) whose services vary in ability, quality and price.
- Variable IT Set-up: IT implementation problems vary from location to location making it nearly impossible to find economies of scale. That means more time spent trouble-shooting tech issues instead of building the brand and your revenue.
- Lack of Operational Visibility: Franchisors want the ability to see and monitor operations across all locations, yet there is no single platform that provides this visibility.
Percent of small businesses that don't have a cyberattack response plan, even though 63% have been victims of an attack.
National Federation of Independent Business
- Cloud Data Storage and Backup: Make it easy for franchisor and franchisee to access all data and management systems over the web via the cloud. A reliable cloud-based system with a robust backup system can create real-time uniformity in data across the entire franchise.
- Cyber Security: Security brings a different type of reputational risk for franchises, especially in the case of a breach in customers' personal information. When data is not protected, every franchisee's operation can be at risk. Investing in data security (for example, safer security monitoring programs, better payment technologies) is a priority for franchisor and franchisee alike.
- Mobile Phones and Beacon Technology: These technologies give franchises a huge opportunity for real-time, local advertising. According to Forrester Research, 82% of customers make purchase decision in-aisle, and 65% of retailers feel they are able to target customers down to the aisle level (with beacon technology). Geo-targeted campaigns, whether the customer is near a franchise location or in a store, can personalize a customer's experience with timely messages, offers or coupons that can increase sales.

When you call in regarding an outage, a technical question or to bounce an idea off of us, our main priority is to answer your questions fully and resolve any issues.

Pull it up
ever doubted the legacy of Krout Rock?not just to electronica but psychedelics?http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9104have a listen to the track Utopia 1it's Track 2 B-side off a 1973 album by Utopia (effectively Amon Duul)which has at least 2 other stone cold classicsIf this link doesn't work, it's worth chasing down.United Artists UAG 29438.
@Liam92 reminded me about this tune today
man got it froma fucking deadmau5 set, theres no way it should be this good lol. What a fucking banger tho
Some Nujabes was the first 12" EP I've bought in my life. I loved his stuff and was saddened by his untimely passing. Should dig that up one of these days.
And Samurai Champloo is simply one of my all-time favourite animes.
that video is my essence
interesting, it's a western european aesthetic that alludes me personallythough I know it attracts many, such as Nick cave, to Berlin.For me it is dark, inclement, inside, isolated & sadly reflectivealmost the antithesis of my environment.I know the experience, am not attracted to it and yet see the allure.
Listened to this maybe 50 times since yesterday.
Damn this one is large! Wish I could hear it on a proper soundsystem though

Western Germany - VX-1000 Flying Saucer
|click here to return to the previous page..
Western Germany - VX1000 Flying Saucer
Funny to see that one of the most desirable flying saucers is not build in Japan but in Germany ( former Western Germany ) Build in the early 1950`s by an unknown manufacturer. I have searched through all my recoures but I was not able to find ANY information about this saucer. It looks like just nobody knows the company who made this saucer. Also I was not able to find any information about the original box of this very scarce spacetoy. I just guess it never came with a box...........who will tell.
What makes this saucer so special is the beautifully lithgraphy of the aliens that are in control of this spaceship. Litho that was never seen before and afterwards on any spacetoy. The saucer has a clockwork mechanism that can be wound up and makes the saucer goes around in strange circles.
The condition of this early 50`s saucer is really excellent to near mint. The clockwork mechanism is complete original and perfectly working. I doubt if you will ever been able to find a better example of this very very rare and scarce spacetoy.
Made in Western Germany and not in Japan, awesome litho and highly searched for....Complete your spacetoy collection with one of the most desirable saucers ever build in the golden age...

Strings isn't the only one who's thought of making music in these mountains. The Perry Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp has hosted performances for 98 years. Today begins the annual New Works Festival, which connects artists from many backgrounds to create original works of art.
Like Strings, Perry Mansfield is an integral part of our artistic community and developing young performers. During the summer, students attend workshops and work personally with professional dancers, directors, musicians, composers, writers, and actors. Famous faces such as Jessica Biel, Dustin Hoffman, and Stephen Schwartz have lingered in this serene mountain valley to perfect their skills and pass on their wisdom.
As residents of a rural western town, we don't have the opportunity to view performances in their raw stages, as we would if we lived in New York City. The New Works Festival lets us experience a fresh performance in a natural setting, juxtaposing city culture with country living. Many of these snippets will later become fully formed plays and we can witness the transformation of a fleeting idea to a full production. The rehearsals are free and open to the public and take place all week long. The shows are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and are $15 for stage readings and $20 for the dance performance.

Enterprise Europe Network (Profile ID: TOBG20161219002)
A Bulgarian SME has developed innovative grinding bodies applicable for raw materials and waste (including ore, coal and clinker). The company is seeking to reach research cooperation agreements with universities and R&D institutions and technical cooperation agreements with interested companies from the mining and cement industries in order to field test the prototype.
The Bulgarian SME has long-term experience in the research and development of various innovative engineering solutions. The company has been awarded for being innovative several times on national and international level.
Grinding is one of the essential processes in the mining industry. The main target / purpose for is to reduce the size of the ore, coal clinker (and other raw materials) particles before subjecting it to reagents (chemical reactions) or other technological processes.
Because of the scale of the processes efficiency may give a serious competitive advantage to a company.
The innovative bodies have the same volume and mass, as currently used spheres. They have a near spheroidal tetrahedron shape. This body is composed of 4 parts of spheres, having about 2.1 times larger radius then the radius of spheres of equal volume. Thus, the new milling body has 9.4% greater outer surface compared to a sphere of equal mass and volume. The larger outer surface results in more efficient grinding / milling. The four spherical areas form 6 curved edges and 4 vertices (tetrahedral geometry). These edges and vertices increase the productivity of fragmentation of larger particles by at least 100%. This is because of the combined milling body - 4 grinding spherical surfaces and 10 breaking elements - 6 edges and 4 vertices (tetrahedral geometry). Breaking of larger chunks by spherical surfaces (up to now) damage those surfaces sooner, which requires more frequent replenishment. The new grinding body with edges and vertices ensure a new higher level of the ball mill processing.
The company is seeking to reach research cooperation agreements and technical cooperation agreements with interested companies from the mining and cement industries to field test the prototype and with universities and R&D institutions for joint collaboration and testing of new applications.

Spanish Open 2RD 74+67=141 (-3)I had a very good day today shooting a 67 to be three under par for 36 holes. I holed some putts today which makes such a difference. This week I have struggled with my long game but when you hole putts it's such an easy game. It was extremely hot again today with very little wind.
Spanish Open 1RD 74 (+2)I drove the ball really poorly today, only hitting one fairway, so to shoot two over par was a good effort especially as the rough is very punishing. I made two fantastic up and downs on 17 and 18 which will hopefully be significient tomorrow. It was very hot again today which is nice but tiring.
On Sunday Marian and I got a lift out to Milton of Crathes and we walked the 10 miles back to the house along the Deeside Railway line, it took us 4 hours with a half hour stop at Drum Garden Centre for some lunch. Philip McLean text me on Sunday night to tell me he had won the Edward Trophy at Glasgow Gailes which was fantastic news, we're all chuffed to bits for him. Yesterday I travelled down to Kingsfield Golf Centre near the Forth Road Bridge to meet Adam, I hit some balls and played nine holes. Adam noticed I was aiming the putter to far left at address and swing was too outside on the backswing with the woods. Adam was looking well and it was great to see him. We were all at the Sports village at night for Michael's training with the U11's team.
Philip McLean winner of the Edward Trophy
China Open 2RD 74+71=145 (+1)Surprise, surprise I played fantastic and putted awful!! I've only hit three shots off line this week but missed the cut. If that wasn't bad enough I now can't get straight home because of the volcanic dust that's covering Britain.....nightmare!!
China Open 1RD 74 (+2)
I played magnificent from tee to green this morning but putted really poorly. I only had one single putt and that was from 2 feet for par at the 6th, which is very very frustrating as you can imagine. I have hardly slept this week and I have a pretty sore throat. I have also really struggled with the jet lag (must be getting old)
Marian and I climbed Bennachie this morning, it took us about an hour and a half to get up and down. We really enjoyed it, the weather was superb and the views were great. I must admit my legs were like jelly getting up there. We had lunch in Inverurie on the way home and I spent the afternoon at the house working on short game drills.

One of the central aims of the EAL Nexus project is to engage with teachers and work with schools to promote a better understanding of how to teach and support EAL learners most effectively. This section of the website looks in detail at key teaching strategies to meet the needs of EAL learners in the classroom, including ideas for homework and the effective use of additional adults. Our Great Ideas pages give suggestions for tried-and-tested strategies that have been shown to be particularly beneficial for EAL learners – using flashcards, graphic organisers, jigsaw activities, drama, language drills, substitution tables and many more.
Information is also included about where to find subject-specific guidance on teaching EAL learners, assessment and developing your own practice.
EAL teaching has its own distinctive pedagogy. It aims to teach English using the mainstream curriculum as the context.
All EAL learners have a three-way task in school: they are learning a new language, they are learning new content through a new language and they are learning about the new language.
For EAL learners, assessment, both summative and formative (including assessment for learning), is complex owing to the need to consider both achievement in the curriculum and English language acquisition.
Teachers and other education staff can develop their own practice in many different ways: through formal accredited continuing professional development (CPD), short courses and staff meetings, online information, advice or discussion, sharing resources or working alongside colleagues.
In this section of the website you will find support and information about evaluating your current school practice in making provision for learners of English as an additional language as well as engaging with parents, carers and communities.

Borough council approves contracts for street materials
When it met Tuesday evening, Tamaqua Borough Council voted to approve the 2014 street materials contract. Two bids for the materials were received, one from Lehigh Asphalt and Paving of Tamaqua and the other from Pottsville Materials, of Pottsville.
The bids included prices for delivery and for the borough to pick up the materials themselves.
Borough manager Kevin Steigerwalt explained that PennDOT has a formula for figuring out the bottom line on the cost of transporting the materials versus having them delivered. Pottsville Materials submitted the lowest bids for seven of the thirteen advertised materials, with an award totaling $70,355.
Lehigh Asphalt submitted the lowest bids for six of the thirteen advertised materials, with an award totaling $16,875. Steigerwalt said the prices were comparable to last year.
Council also approved several certificates of appropriateness for changes to an existing sign at 116 E. Broad St., the demolition of a rear addition at 44 W. Broad St., and the installation of emergency generators at the East End Fire Company and the Water Department Garage.
Council received communications from the Borough of Nesquehoning requesting that Tamaqua enter into a mutual aid agreement with them. The matter was referred to the public safety committee for review. Council also received a letter from Antoinette Allesch, president of Salute, LLC, expressing an interest in operating the Bungalow Park concession stand during the 2014 summer season.
Council referred the matter to the recreation and youth committee for review.
Steigerwalt advised council that the work on the Swatara Street sewer has been completed, however, repaving in the area will not be able to be completed until spring. The new parking meters have been installed throughout the borough, with the exception of the area around the Majestic House and the area currently affected by the East Broad Street bridge project.
Steigerwalt indicated that there were some issues with the new meters and several had to be returned to the manufacturer.
The Schuylkill County Tax Claim Bureau advised the borough that the property at 27 E. Elm St. has been bid on by "Deeds R Us," an LLC which has a mailing address of Las Vegas, Nev. Steigerwalt said the principle owner of the LLC, Francis Davizio, had bid on three properties in the borough last year; however, the sale was not approved by the school district and did not go through.
"Their mailing address is a post office box in Nevada. I think that is enough. I don't see a good ending for this," said council President Micah Gursky. Council voted against the sale.
Mayor Christian Morrison said he and police Chief Rick Weaver had inspected the borough's newest squad car and it will be added to the borough's fleet shortly.
Council held an executive session regarding personnel matters and after the session voted 3-2 to extend an early retirement benefit to non-union employees in 2014, including employees with 25 years of service and who are 55 years of age.

* PND sales steady at 108 mln euros in second quarter
* Q2 net 8 million euros vs f'cast 1.7 million
* Revenue 250 million euros vs f'cast 230 mln
* Company sticks to FY revenue guidance of 900-950 mln
* Shares up 5.5 percent to six-month high (Rewrites first paragraph, adds CEO and analyst quotes, shares)
By Gilbert Kreijger
AMSTERDAM, July 25 (Reuters) - TomTom NV, Europe's largest maker of personal navigation devices (PNDs), said sales of its flagship products had stabilised in the past quarter after years of decline, raising hopes its turnaround efforts are paying off.
Results for the second quarter through June beat analysts' expectations and pushed TomTom shares up as much as 5.5 percent to a six-month high of 4.28 euros.
"Despite the contracting PND market ... TomTom is doing really well," SNS Securities analyst Martijn den Drijver said in a note, expecting positive effects from new product launches including a Nike Inc sports watch that tracks a user's jogging route.
Yet the Dutch-based group stopped short of predicting a rebound and stuck to its full-year forecasts, given that its fortunes are closely tied to those of European car makers whose sales have slumped.
Its shares are well below a peak above 56 euros set in 2007.
TomTom's sales of personal navigation devices (PNDs), its biggest source of income, have been in decline for several years because of a saturated market for the products, increased competition from navigation services on mobile phones and lower prices.
Its biggest direct rival is U.S.-based Garmin Ltd, but it also competes with Google Inc and phone makers such as Nokia Oyj and Apple Inc, which also uses TomTom's maps on its own products.
"We saw demand for our PNDs stabilising, so demand in the second quarter of 2013 was at the same level as in the second quarter of 2012. That was a good result," Chief Executive Harold Goddijn told Reuters.
Yet he stopped short of calling it a new upward trend.
"We see ... especially in Europe the decline of the market is slowing down. Especially in countries where consumer confidence is not as weak as in some of the southern European countries. So that is kind of encouraging," Goddijn said.
Some analysts said the full-year outcome might prove better than the company was indicating.
"The 2013 outlook is maintained, with revenues guided at 900 to 950 million euros vs consensus at mid-range 929 million euros. This, given a strong Q2, seems somewhat cautious," said analyst Marc Zwartsenburg at banking group ING in a note.
TomTom said the total size of the PND market in Europe fell 14 percent in the second quarter year-on-year, slowing from a 19 percent drop in the first quarter. But its own PND revenue was steady at 108 million euros.
To offset a shrinking PND market, TomTom has been expanding partnerships with auto makers such as France's PSA Peugeot Citroen and Italy's Fiat SpA, building navigation systems into cars - but that market has also been hit by lower demand.
"In all the market statistics I see continued depressed demand for the type of products we are trading in. Car sales are ... at a historic low," Goddijn said.
Hit by overcapacity and weak demand, European car sales slumped to their lowest six-months total in 20 years in the first half of 2013.
TomTom also struck a deal last year to license its maps to Apple and sells apps for Apple's iPhone, but Goddijn declined to say how much these products contributed to total sales.
TomTom's quarterly net profit of 8 million euros ($11 million) was down 14 percent from a year ago and revenue of 250 million euros was down 4 percent. Analysts had expected net profit of 1.7 million on revenue of 230 million.
TomTom stuck to its full-year forecast for adjusted earnings per share of about 0.20 euros, down 50 percent, and revenue in a range of 900 million to 950 million, down from 1.06 billion. ($1 = 0.7555 euros) (Editing by Sara Webb and David Holmes)

This is what Catie said in the FOAR EVERYWUN FRUM BOXXY video. Shortened version with subtitles here.
OK hi. So, my name is Boxxy and um it's been a while since I made a new video. So I decided that because of recent events uh, I could make a new video. And um, so yeah so let's just start off by getting a couple things straight.
Uhh, I don't do drugs… mm mmh! No, I know that you all think that I do drugs, but, I don't, actually. And I actually don't have ADD either, ahh hehehehehe, which is funny to me. Ummmm yeah.
And then another one would be ummm. I provided you with a couple different pictures. Ummmm ahh such as like, like the one where I'm like mmm and it says, "i see what you did thar." And like and and then like you peoples were all like, "YOU IS TROLLIN!" and I was like "I AM NOT TROLLING!! I AM BOXXY! YOU SEE! Mm!"
And like um and so then ahh and there was another one where I was like, "Mmm," and um I didn't have any eyeliner on, which you edited a couple of different times. And then there was the one where I held up a sign and it said "Boxxy plus Pocky equals LOVE," and that's true, it's a very true statement, I love her. And umm and then uhh, bup bup buhbuuh.
OH there was another one that um, that I actually didn't post… but umm… it's out there… cuz uh some of you guys found it, and I'm all like crafty. And uhm and it's one where I like have a sign and I'm like "ihh" and it says several different things such as like I love mmm-chan, and stuff and umm it actually never said that, it said I love uh, Moochan, which is one of my old Gaia buddies.
Uhh oh, by the way, I'm not a Gaiafag anymore, I moved on to bigger and better things, such as umm, things that I mentioned in another video that got me in trouble in the first place, ehah!
Ahh, trolls! Trolls, this is my only account and um, and and it's boxxybabee with two e's and other people, like um like boxxyakamoldybread — she's a failure Troll! TRAWLL! I can't believe you guys believe that! Who actually talks like that?! Not ME!
Umm… and, so, yeah, and um, let's see here. And then, um, um I was in a thread and uh this guy was like, "Boxxy, I would sing Hey Jude to you, put in Across the Universe." And I was like, "I love that movie!" because I do! Have you ever seen that movie? It's like AMAZING, it's like BEATLES and like um, and so then um I uh I just wanted to say to that kid who wanted to watch Across the Universe with me, uh that I love you, and I want to hold your hand.
And uh also um, my husband, Sheldon, "hello! Mmm!" And, and uh Brandon, I guess, I don't even know who you are, exactly.
Uhbubububuuh, my hair got longer, you guys. I'm actually thinking about cutting it… I dunno.
But umm, let's see here ahh, soo, I had a lot of replies from like my videos. Or, not a lot I guess, that's a little… much I guess. But um, this one kid, uh he remixed all a lot of my videos, and they were so cool, and his name was GastricPenguin… and he was SO funny. He like mixed it and stuff, ahehe, and I was like "ohhho" the first time I saw it. I was- Oh my god I had a heart attack, I was like oh my god. And um, uh, mmm, I dunno. What else is there to say?
Uh Steve. Steve, the guy who sat for like six minutes straight addressing me in a serious tone? Uh, thank you, I suppose. Um, but uh yeah, this, uh you know, I don't think I should answer. Because, what- what if I told you, it would ruin the mystique, you guys?
Umm, and then um, bubububuuuuh, I dunno, really, huh.
I haven't worn makeup in a really long time you guys, actually. Um, I because I stopped wearing it, because it's a really big pain the butt to apply every single morning. And I'm like urr hurrhurr, and um and now I'm just like mascara and like I'm good to go.
Ummmm yeah, and uh so IIIII love you guys, a lot. Like really like, like, like, rawrawrawrawr status, like seriously like rah, and um, that's about it. Mmm byeee.
