Thanks to everyone that supported Spiderfest 2013. It was a record turnout and looks to be a record fund raiser for ERTA. Sorry that we came up a little shy on food. Looks like we needed enough to serve about 20 more. They even added extra in at the last minute expecting a bigger crowd. It was an even bigger crowd than expected. Our food guys did an outstanding job getting it close. Thanks to the Smithville Trail Crew for all the hard work putting this event on.

New Power Plants Loom, Even With Efficiency Gains
One suburb, against opposition, enacts a modest step toward cutting power consumption, but bolder measures are needed.
The Washington, D.C., suburb of Montgomery County, Md., is aiming to become the first county in the country to require that new homes be built to federal Energy Star standards. That means good windows and tightly sealed and well-insulated walls—all things that we know can cut energy consumption by 15 to 30 percent. The builders don't like it; they say it will drive up costs. And before the Montgomery County Council's unanimous vote, the Bush administration weighed in with a letter from an Environmental Protection Agency branch chief, saying it does not advocate putting Energy Star standards into law.
This is the very debate we explored in our current cover story on energy efficiency.
While we ponder the question of whether America can somehow use less power without forcing anyone to change the way he does business, one thing is certain: If we continue on our current course—improving energy efficiency a bit in a voluntary fashion—we will most certainly need a huge number of big new power plants. The Edison Foundation, a nonprofit started by the shareholder-owned electric companies' association, the Edison Electric Institute, this week released preliminary findings (.pdf) of a study by the Brattle Group indicating that utilities will have to build 150 gigawatts of new generating capacity to meet electricity demand by 2030, even if the nation reduces its projected demand for electricity 33 percent through energy efficiency measures. The cost of building about 150 large power plants, nearly $500 billion, and an additional $900 billion necessary for transmission lines to get that juice from one place to another —that's money that will be raised from electric utility bills of the future.
If we don't want to pay for, and don't want to see the environmental impact of, such a building spree, it seems that it's up to us to prove we can do far better than the number crunchers say we can. And increasing the cost of a new home by 1.25 percent, as the Montgomery County sponsor of the Energy Star measure estimated his move would do, may prove well worth it.

It's that time of year, y'all. Decorations are going up, cookies are in the oven, and gifts are waiting to be wrapped. But it's also a time for hope, compassion and charity, something that's kept me pretty busy this month.
Last year, my team and I started a new holiday tradition. Local students in one of the schools we help design Christmas cards. We pick our favorite and send them out to all our friends, and instead of sending them with Christmas gifts, make a donation to help feed those children. It's probably one of the best ideas this team has ever had.
This time of year, the American Red Cross is always in need of blood donations. That's why we are happy to keep partnering with them for blood drives. Our blood drive last week collected over 200 units of blood, and since one unit of blood can help save 3 lives, that's almost 600 lives!
Helping women and children is at my core, and I was honored to be the honoree at this year's CHAIRity Fundraiser for the Safe Shelter of Savannah last Saturday. It's so important that women have resources to help them and their children in times of crises, and the Safe Shelter does an excellent job helping them.
And y'all, I still can't wrap my mind around the devastation from Hurricane Sandy I saw this week, and how touched I was by all the volunteers at our food donations on Staten Island and in Long Island City. You just don't get to see everything on TV, and let me tell you, these volunteers are all angels. I was so happy to be able to help out, even if it was just a small part. It's through working with charitable organizations like the Helping Hungry Homes initiative and advocates like my friends at Smithfield and the UFCW that we can make a difference.
So take a minute from all your running around this month. It will be ok if the decorations aren't all up right on December 1st, or that the cookies are a little extra crunchy, or you just couldn't get that one gift your loved one so desperately wanted. Remember that there are so many others who won't have those luxuries this year. Hug your families tight, count your blessings and say a prayer for all those in need. That's what the real Christmas spirit is all about.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Hundreds filled the Nashville Farmers Market Thursday for a chance to look at detailed plans for the new proposed Nashville Sounds ballpark in downtown Nashville.
Officials from the Metro Planning Department presented the plans for the 10,000 seat stadium which will span from Jefferson Street to Harrison Street and cover 3rd, 4th, and 5th avenues.
The minor league ballpark would sit 14-feet below street level, so sound will be directed toward downtown. It will also feature state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems. The stadium would be surrounded by a green space that includes outdoor seating and a play area for kids, and private development.
People in attendance had a chance to submit written questions and voice concerns.
"My condo faces what will be the new ballpark," said Nashville resident J.R. Simon. " I'm interested in the layout to make sure my unit won't look at a brick wall."
"We have two cars, and I assume most people probably have two cars in our condo building," said Nashville resident Lucretia Grant. "I am not sure how parking will work out for us."
However, most of the feedback was positive. Supporters arrived at the meeting wearing red T-shirts, and many who live nearby say it will enhance the neighborhood and connect North Nashville with downtown.
"It's going to be big for our organization," said Brad Tammen, General Manager of the Nashville Sounds, "It will put the Sounds at another level of AAA baseball. It will put us at the top of AAA baseball without a doubt."
"It's going to be really exciting to hear the crack of the bat and the crowd cheering," said Cindy Lovelace, who has a balcony that overlooks the site of the proposed ballpark. "We are looking forward to breaking ground and getting going on it."
Sulphur Dell is the original home of professional baseball in Nashville, and starting in the 1860's, minor league and Negro league teams played in the area. Old photographs are displayed in Lovelace's building, and she said the history is important to the area.
"My husband and I are huge baseball fans, so I appreciate the history," said Lovelace. "I think putting a new ballpark in this area makes perfect sense. We were so excited when we found out about it."
Developers stressed the plans are still preliminary. They plan to file legislation with Metro Council about details of property transactions, and financing for the $40 million stadium in the next few weeks. There will also be more community meetings in the near future about the proposal.
Previous projections aim to have the stadium open for the 2015 season.
The Nashville Sounds have played at Greer Stadium since 1978. Previous plans for a new stadium at the old Nashville Thermal Transfer Plant Site fell apart in 2007.

This letter is in response to the proposed rezoning of the Wyndale Subdivision. First, I want to thank you for your reporting on this topic as these are the type things that those in power like to slide through in the middle of the night without input of those it actually affects.
I was outraged to hear that Deborah Akers and the Mercer County Board of Education are wanting to ship the children of the Wyndale Subdivision to Athens Elementary as opposed to Melrose Elementary. Wyndale has been in the Melrose School district since the first home was built. First, while I realize that the simplest thing to do is pick a spot on the map and say send these people there, case closed, how about actually discussing the situation with the people it will affect. Further, have you asked why Melrose is getting crowded? Why Athens isn't? Maybe it is not simply a population shift, maybe there are other reasons. How many children does this affect? How many children are attending Melrose that actually live in Wyndale? How many do you expect in the next five years? How many children attend Melrose that are not in Melrose's school district? I have seen nothing along the lines of information where this has even been studied or discussed, but this is what I would be finding out. And as a resident of Wyndale and father to a child that will soon be entering elementary school, these are the questions that I demand be answered.
As a parent, when choosing where you live one of your primary concerns is the school district where the home is located. In 2001, I purchased a home in Wyndale in part because my children would be attending Melrose Elementary. With no disrespect intended to Athens Elementary, that is what I chose. If the roles were reversed, I am sure the parents at Athens Elementary would not want someone dictating that there children be shipped elsewhere.
My son completed Melrose and it has served him well as he is an excellent student and I look forward to my daughter attending Melrose and having the same experience.

Things to think about.
As I sit here waiting for one of the night clubs to close so we can clear the parking lot, as we do every weekend, I can't help but wonder a few things. How is it we have to tell the same people to leave the same club every weekend....How is it that they can fit as many people as they do in such a small building. Another good one is how does anyone survive in a building with little to no air circulation for 5 hours with it being 120 inside. With only one exit to the building...I can only expect how bad a fire could be. However...it never stops amazing me how retarded some of these people can be....Ah well I guess if it wasn't for them...we wouldn't have a very entertaining job.
Somewhere in the club they should have a maximum occupancy listed on the wall...if so, do they exceed that? just curious..He who has the money, signs the cheques.
He who signs the cheques, makes the rules.
He who makes the rules, has the power.
He who has the power, has the money.
The place doesn't even have a working AC...nor do any of the Deputies go in there unless we absolutely have to...We are told just to wait for them to take it outside.
If you are talking about "that shack of a bar on LA 76", we've tried to get code enforcement to look into occupancy, but that's fire code ordinance in a volunteer FD district. No one pays attention to it. These folks pack themselves in there like sardines BECAUSE they know the cops don't stroll in there, ever. Wait untill they close one night, then clear the lot and walk through the bar. You'll find enough tobacco gleanings (from blunts being rolled) to fill a case of Swisher Sweets. Nobody has really paid much attention to the place (primarily because we haven't had a good shooting there, and with only two patrol cops in the entire zone and the rest are 30 minutes away...)
I agree with you, its a timebomb.
I remember walking up into a packed club up there one Saturday night (when I first started in the zone). No call, I just waltzed in and shook the bartender's hand, said 'hello' to a few folks (watched their jaws drop open to see a white cop actually just walk in there). Asked them how their weekend was going, and reminded them to stay safe and not to drive if they'd had too much... It was honestly hilarious, but I wouldn't recommend anyone else do that without nearby assistance. I am just crazy as hell like that...
I wanted them to see the new face, and let them know that there wasn't a place in that zone where I wouldn't go. I like shock-therapy.

I went in there for $hits and giggles about 3 yrs. ago. And I was cordially met at the door by two " old friends ". I was not a very well liked person on that end of the parish. About 4 1/2 yrs. ago when I worked that zone these " old friends " sent word that the next time I drove past club 21 they were gonna set my car on fire. Well my " old friends " and I escorted each other out of the door and we caught up on old times in the parking lot. Rudely we were interrupted by gun shots in the club. It is kind of amusing to see these self proclaimed king pins run like women screaming oh $hit man you got to go in there, dude got a gun and he was shootin'. As usually nobody knew who the shooter was and didn't want to say anything besides one woman telling me " One of those mother f*ckers that ran out of here screamin' like a b*tch better buy me a drink before I start blastin'". Yes CB I was alone. Near by asistance was not as near by as they should have been.

to this year, you're right. But if he's as good as he was last year at throwing the ball, we figured out a way to turn a loss into a win BECAUSE of the jump ball against Notre Dame. If the latter, the coaches should have let Gardner/Funchess make a play against a weak secondary. If the former, Hoke needs to get a better quarterbacks coach.
Opportunity Seized
It was there for the taking.
It was there when Michigan had a first-and-goal on their third possession, when Vincent Smith—yes, Vincent Smith—threw an interception in the end zone.
It was there on each of the next four drives, each ending with a Denard Robinson interception.
It was there when—despite the above—Michigan faced just a ten-point deficit on their first possession of the second half, when they drove to the Notre Dame 16, only to lose a Robinson fumble.
It was there when the defense forced a do-or-die third-and-four with 2:35 on the clock, only to see Tyler Eifert beat J.T. Floyd down the sideline for a 38-yard completion.
In a game that felt like karmic retribution for the last three years, however, Michigan never seized control, instead making error after crippling error until there were no more errors to make. The defense did everything in their power to overcome the offense, holding Notre Dame to just 239 yards on 4.8 yards per play and forcing two interceptions of their own. They could not stop Robinson from turning the ball over, though, and in the end it was a triumphant Tommy Rees kneeling the clock out.
The turnovers overshadowed a stellar defensive effort, one that will sadly be forgotten in the aftermath. Notre Dame starting quarterback Everett Golson was completely ineffective, completing just one fewer pass to Michigan (two) than he did to his own team. The Irish rushing attack never got going, gaining 94 yards on 31 carries. Jordan Kovacs (7 tackles, 1 TFL) and Jake Ryan (5 tackles, all solo) both turned in outstanding games. With no margin for error, however, all it took was two poor plays on third downs—a pass interference by freshman Jarrod Wilson on the goal line and the final pass to Eifert—to foil an otherwise textbook Mattison game.
On offense, the bright spots are fewer and farther between. Fitz Toussaint finally got some holes to run though and looked like his nimble 2011 self when he found them. Roy Roundtree make a few crucial catches after largely disappearing from the offense this year. Al Borges added a promising wrinkle when Devin Gardner took an end-around only to throw downfield to fullback Joe Kerridge, drawing a pass interference on the opening drive. That's about it.
As I'm sure will be said ad nauseam in the coming bye week, all of Michigan's goals are still within reach. The Big Ten is awful and still very much there for the taking. If the Wolverines are to seize that chance, however, they'll have to be far more opportunistic than they were tonight, when a fourth straight victory over the Irish slipped through their fingers and into the hands of a team more willing to take advantage.
I don't know if he regressed from last year. He's on pace for 24 INTs (well beyond his terrible 15 from last year), but I doubt he'll keep up that pace. I just think he's always been a bad "passing" QB. Those jump balls are a great example; the passes were bad but the receivers adjusted and made great catches. I would've liked to have seen him give Gardner and Funchess a chance, but he didn't seem on top of anything on Saturday.
It's not a matter of getting a better QB coach; we just have a QB who makes bad decisions and has an inaccurate arm. That's nothing new. I heard a radio caller on WTKA this morning complaining about the trick play with Vincent Smith. The guy said, "We shouldn't have a RB throwing the ball." Problem is that we always have a RB throwing the ball.
Don't have to watch a game on NBC for another 2 years.
What an interesting case of a football player? His upside to downside continuum stretches so far. I've witnessed things I never thought I would see both good and bad. It is what it is...highs and lows.
Hoping the team can figure out a way to win the Big 10. Next year is kind of already on my mind a bit.
That's why he's the most exciting player in CFB. You just can't look away.
Don't sleep on Denard this year. He'll still have another one of his miracle games this year in a big game.
I can't wait for the Denard pass to Te'o. My wife dropped an f-bomb on that one and she doesn't know shit about football. I have to see if a receiver fell down or made the wrong cut.
Denard was expecting the receiver to stop and turn around. Now, I think Te'o still had a good chance to at least break up that pass, if not intercept it. But when I watched the replay it looked like a situation where Denard expected the receiver to read his coverage and turn around, west-coast style. And the receiver (was it Dileo?) kept on going.
Who was in the wrong is open to question, but Denard was expecting a Michigan player there. And I think it was still a bad choice because he didn't see Te'o sitting on the route.
This traffic sucks!!
He turned Dink and Dunker moxie qb Cade McNown into a first rounder and Jason Campbell into an NFL qb. Borges cant throw the ball for Denard. Borges cant run a better route than Devin Gardner who broke off his route on one of Denard's INTS.
This was just one of those games. We have been on the good end of the them in past and today we weren't.
Defense was encouraging and offense moved the ball. This team will win a lot of games.
When was the last time we didn't score an offensive touchdown ? My goodness, this is so un-Michigan...... we didnt score a td. After that fourth pick he should've been benched for Bellomy. Denard can fly but cerebral he is not, and this is a real problem.
The man has a point. Denard's turnovers are a serious problem.
Funny how I thought our Denard was our rock and our defense was suspect. Tonight was backwards all around. Great seeing the defense step up so many times, though. They did their job, and then some.
actually I'm on my phone so I have no idea if he had been banned.
Looks like he has been, now, finally.
One game at a time.
Disappointed in the loss and all of the turnovers (minus all the points) but as others have said I do think there are positives from this game (defense owning, offense moving the ball pretty well).
Definitely think we can contend in the Big Ten and hope that our coaches and players continue to work to get better over the next 8-9 games in order so we can make the hopeful bowl game interesting.
One game at a time nice time for a bye and take heart I do think we are making progress.
BIG action, I actually think Minnesota and Northwestern have a shot at this division with the right outcomes.
MInne's crossover games are Wisconsin/Purdue/Illinois. Anyone think they can't win all 3 of those with some breaks. Get an upset win or two vs Neb/MSU/UM and they'd be sitting pretty
Northwestern's crossover games are Indiana/Penn State/Illinois. Jesus, they'll probably be favored in those 3.
NW is starting to look like a for-real contender.
as much as I was encouraged by our D tonight. Brian Kelly's puckered up big time after the INT in the endzone, that dude was deathly afraid of doing anything remotely even riskey with the lead. ND made no attempt to challenge our D downfield, or even midfield except for a couple passes blazed over the heads of TE's over the middle.
As much as I'd like to think we improved, Kelly made it pretty easy on them. We tackled better, pursued better and didn't seem to be out of position as much but how much attempt was really made to make our defensive work out there?
Purdue will be another tough struggle, and again it will probably come down to our mistakes, how many, often, and how deadly.
I will say I was disappointed that ND was able to pick up six yards on the ground on its first two plays on the last drive, to set up a manageable 3rd and 4. It was an obvious rushing situation and I thought we could have stood up a little better those two plays. The pass to Eiffert was a great call but the relatively short yardage to go set it up. If it had been say, 3rd and 9, there wouldn't have been the same threat of the run to set him free.
But on the whole, it's hard to fault the D given the number of times it was asked to keep ND from extending the lead. The only time it gave up a TD was on a drive extended by a penalty (on a pass that looked pretty uncatchable IMO).
But if JT doesn't stumble, I'm not sure he's not in position to make a play, even after getting beat on the first step.
Our running game sucks.
It's going to be a long season.
MSU ran for 50 yards against ND. We just ran for 161.
What kind of Michigan fan are you? We lost. Our one-of-a-kind quarterback sucks. Our coaches suck. Our lines suck. Our freshman safeties suck. Our running game sucks.
It is not like we just played the number 11 team in the country and beat them pretty well in all phases of the game except stupid mistakes. Nope, we suck and we'll never get better.
The big ten of which Michigan is certainly a member. :s
If ! equals win, how will you mark the non-Bama Ls?
Very disappointed with Team133 tonight. The good thing is I'm drunk.
I think someone else said this, but Notre Dame is a "traditional power", and while this induces eye rolling in most of us, it gives them the same advantages we have, such as resources and recruiting. Honestly, they're probably a year ahead of us in terms of recruiting talent and the coaching staff setting up their system, etc. They consistently get talent, and once they get a staff that can actually do something with it, they will be good, like they may be starting to be.
Also, we're kind of in a weird transition right now ourselves, as we're split between Rodriguez and Hoke players/schemes/talent/etc. IIRC, Rodriguez' first couple classes were highly regarded, and then they dropped off some later. So, the seniors last year and this year were highly recruited, but many of the underclassmen brought in were not. Hoke's guys are clearly very good, but they're all Freshman (that weird 2011 class doesn't count), and next year a new crop of very good Freshman will come in, combined with this year's class who will be sophomores with experience.
The other thing to think about is that any rivalry worth having is worth being competitive, meaning we should have stiff competition from MSU, OSU, and Notre Dame. That's why they're interesting to watch, and the definition of competitive games is that they can go either way. When we win, it's an accomplishment, because it wasn't easy, but conversely, it means we can lose for one reason or another, and we have to be willing to accept that. This could also be a weird blessing in disguise. Think about last year, where we lost two games we maybe could have won, which kept us out of the B1G championship game, where we would probably have been humiliated by Wisconsin, and who knows if we would have gotten a BCS berth that way. If we had won the two games we lost this year, we could be in the MNC talk, and if for some reason we got there or another really high level bowl, we might get really humiliated.
So if we had beaten Alabama and Notre Dame (two pretty good football teams) we would get humiliated in a bowl game?
Anyone who can play with Alabama can play with anyone else...
Clearly Borges would not have recruited Denard as a QB. But they are stuck with each other this year.
Denard and Al are not a match made in heaven. But I'm still amazed how well Borges, a West Coast offense guy, does make good use of Denard's skills.
People forget that we are still in a coaching transition. Last year's exceptional season, where all the close games went our way, hid a lot of this.
We can't expect Borges to commit to becoming a spread guru for one player. That's not what he was hired to do. He was hired to build a program. So he hodge-podges together some West Coast and Spread elements to work with Denard. What else can he do?
... how can you tell the difference between "Denard self-destructing" and ND shutting him down? He certainly wasn't accurate, but not busting long runs isn't on him self-destructing, it's on T'eo and ND closing off his running lanes.
More to the point, if Denard only has bad days against good opposition, that's not "self-destructing", that's playing to the limits of his talent. I think he's got it in him to be better this year, even if the overall numbers will be awful thanks to ND and Alabama ... but I think that saying it's all on him is doing ND a disservice. T'eo in particular had a monster game under less than ideal circumstances and I'm glad that we won't have to face him again. Good luck on Sundays next fall, sir!
Denard picked an awful day to lead Michigan to a six-turnover night, and for all that we had a puncher's chance to win all night - and he hits hard, as ND knows.
Denard giveth, and Denard taketh away. I hope he brings his A-game for MSU.
Why should i be worried about which guy on the roster is most likely to play QB in the NFL?
It's a college football team trying to win college football games and the Big Ten...and it's clearly a transistion year given the number of freshman seeing time on both sides of the ball. There isn't a better option, and Gardner is probably better at WR than he'd be at QB right now. Bellomy has no signficant experience.
So, no, there are no other options. They'll play the rest of the games, Robinson will finish his career way up in the total yardage list and in a few years most fans won't remember his failings, just the incredible runs and the zany, last second comebacks.
Quit bitching and enjoy what you have while you have it.
I could go for a big cold glass of bleach right now
I had a blast watching that game! I'm sitting here this morning trying to figure out why I'm not more upset. I love the sheer edge-of-my-seat excitement I feel when the ball is in Denard's hands. The unpredictable nature of it is such a rush! We only get 8 more games of watching this kid - that's what sucks.
That was simply the worst display of football (by both teams) I have seen in a long long time. How many "great" plays were in the game ... none! Michigan punted once (first drive) was in the red zone 5 times and score 6 points. Edge of your seat ???? my back was flat against my chair the entire game !!
Go Blue!
Although Denard has had many amazing offensive moments I doubt any of us will forget that he now holds the record for most interceptions by a Michigan QB and he has most of the season in front of him. Ugh.
Earlier this very week, another quarterback threw three picks in a single quarter. He didn't get benched, and I'm pretty sure the team is going to ride it out with him. I'm speaking, of course, of Peyton Manning.
Horrible game for Denard. Moving forward . . . .
I didn't see that game. What happened next? Did he throw another INT? Then did he fumble? And what about the "quality" of those INTs? Were they great plays by the defense? Or were they terrible throws that defenders had no choice but to intercept?
If Manning had thrown a fourth pick, I'm sure they would have benched him. "What happened" in that game was the Broncos lost, and Manning's poor performance was a major reason why. If he did that on a regular basis, I'm sure he wouldn't be playing anymore. I have no problem holding Denard to that same standard -- or would you rather turn things over to Bellamy, who threw a pick on his first pass after he took over for Denard in the Alabama game?
I think we're "stuck" with Denard at this point - for better (at times) and for worse (at other times). If it were me, I would never have put Devin at WR. He'd by my backup QB so that he could have been useful in situations where the starter is having the worst game imaginable. I'm concerned that we're setting up a bad choice next year between a QB turned (injured, thanks Denard) WR, a mediocre backup (Bellamy) and a true freshman (Morris).
So, yes, I'd have kept Denard in the game, but I'd also shake my head in disapproval at the Denard lust on this board. For anyone to think he's a legit QB is a joke; we're just stuck because he's currently our best option. It's unfortunate that we didn't split him out instead of Devin. Anyone really think he wouldn't have been more dangerous (to ND, and less to us) if he were a WR/RB yesterday?
maybe Devin has improved significantly over the off season, but over his first two years, he didn't do anything to make me feel that he's suddenly an accurate passer who makes good decisions. So your pretense that he would be an obvious improvement over denard seems misguided
I'm actually not sure that Devin would be an improvement over Denard (this season). I do think that if we didn't put him out at WR, he'd be a solid, well-practiced option to come in during a super bad game for Denard and, at worst, maybe bring a little momentum and confidence for that game.
Long term, I just think Devin presents the best link on the path to Morris.
to say "at least we won't see... again on the rest of schedule"? We heard it after Alabama, we heard it after Air Force and now we have to hear it after ND. I think MSU's defense will feel just as tough as ND's or Alabama's. They really aren't as good, but they play above themselves against us.
The cold hard reality is this team is not the opportunistic, frankly, lucky team of last year. We forced turnovers last year and were able to overcome our own mistakes. Team 133 is not getting those breaks or not making them and it certainly looks like most of the teams on our schedule are better this year than last.
Northwestern and Purdue are definitely better than last year, Nebraska and OSU will be much harder to beat on their turf and MSU will give us everything we can handle. It will take near mistake-free football to win the conference title this year, not because every team is great, but because our offense isn't really any better than last year or the year before; possibly a little worse. The defense seems a little worse, but it's hard to tell because the only team with a guareanteed strong offense was Alabama.
Overall, we still don't know much about good this team is. Assuming the weather will be decent against Purdue, we should find out a lot more. If nothing else the MSU game will be tell us all we need to know. Unfortunately, we are trying to find some way to get our square peg to fit the round hole that is Michigan football.
There are no guarantees left on this schedule. The closest thing to a guarantee left is that every team we will play will have a good chance to win going into the fourth quarter. Whether it's MAs or turnovers or poor decsisions, this team is not dominant in any one area to the point of guaranteeing victory.
Nailed it, Ace. Thanks for this post. Sums up my feelings perfectly.
we go back to a strong O-line, a pocket passer, and a dominant RB. Not that I don't like Denard but after five years of scrambling QBs who can't seem to complete passes it'll be nice to (hopefully) get back to a TEAM that commands the field. As dazzling as he can be I'm tired (and have been well before this debacle) of hanging my hopes on one guy having a great game.
Unfortunately, if he can't pass the ball accurately, we're pretty much stuck with a RB at QB (hence our march up the field three yards and a cloud of dust style late in the game).
Really? Wow
That's really offensive. Maybe you should put more thought into your comments.

If you snooze you won't lose.
That's what experts say about students who get a good night's rest.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, children who don't get enough sleep get lower grades, have a harder time paying attention in class, tend to be overweight and show symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder.
Too little sleep also can lead to feelings of depression.
Nancy Bare, a social worker with Lincoln Public Schools says health experts say over the years, they've found kids need a lot more sleep than first thought.
"Little kids 5-year-olds 6-year-olds need 12 hours. And that can go on up to age 10 or more," said Nancy Bare. "They just need an incredible amount of sleep. School has become increasingly more demanding for kids. Greater expectations, and accelerated and its a lot," Bare added.
And experts suggest teens get 9 hours of sleep.

I must admit these past few days of warm weather have been pretty delightful. But seasonal weather changes can also signal that a sinus "nightmare" is waiting to erupt. And the headaches that come with sinusitis are amongst the most painful of any headache I've had to bear. While over the counter remedies can provide some relief, many of us have sought out a physician's care, and a prescription pad.
Sinusitis is often referred to as a sinus infection. If any infection is bacterial -- antibiotics are usually the way to go. But it's often hard for a doctor to quickly determine if your sinus pain is from a bacterial infection, a viral infection or something else (like a migraine). A recent study from the Infectious Disease Society of America shows that while sinus infections are the 5th leading reason for physicians to prescribe antibiotics, they are probably ineffective in most cases because it appears most sinus infections are actually viral in nature. In fact, when antibiotics are overprescribed -- they can actually lead to antibiotic resistance, which means you can develop "superbugs" -- microbes that are so strong they won't respond to antibiotics.
The authors propose guidelines for treating pain related to sinus infection that include irrigating the nose with saline and taking acetaminophen for the pain -- but laying off antibiotics...
Do you suffer from seasonal sinusitis and sinus headaches? How do you cope with the pain? What do you do for treatments? We want to know...
- March 29, 2012 at 11:57 am(1) Lyle Henry says:
For those who suffer from migraines, many times what feels like a sinus condition is misdiagnosed and mistreated. Since the he blood vessels and nerve endings involved in a migraine surround the sinus cavity, even a low grade migraine can put pressure and sinuses and make it feel like an infection. A general role may be if there is not snot it is not an infection.
To learn more about migraines and sinuses, see http://tuliv.com/Migraines_and_Sinus.aspx
- March 29, 2012 at 2:20 pm(2) charlotte says:
I suffered for many years from what I thought were sinus problems only to find out they were actually migraines. They can mimic sinus headaches. I can now get some relief and I am no longer taking over the counter sinus meds.
- March 29, 2012 at 10:20 pm(3) tessarina says:
All I know is that the chronic sinus problems lead to lung infections and respiratory issues. I do nasal washes and mucinex. If you have a problem for
5 months, isn't that a lot of time? Pain I can deal with, but what about the infection in your body? What about ear aches and Bell Palsy? Should you let it go for a long time? I can't believe the discharges I have. Of course, being atypical CF doesn't help me with infections. My infections at one time went into serratia, aspergillous, non T.B (but similar) and klebscilla. Is that good?
- March 29, 2012 at 10:37 pm(4) terrarina says:
I get migraines too. Thanks for the nerve related comment above. I had no idea why nerves are going off in my ear area, head and face.
My migraines tend to go from auras to my eye and head. However, I have other types too. As I aged, my migraines changed. Now, they have pain, nerve sensations and inability to think. I can't believe how many I have had in the last few years. Almost a half a year of migraines… What's with the dizzy spells, ringing or loud ear noises…? I hope this does not get worse.
Sinuses, migraines and spinal issues, I deal with it and still exercise and hike. But, it would be nice to go without!
Is there any evidence that head injuries add to migraines? I got them right after a head injury when the car was hit by a red light runner.
- April 12, 2012 at 11:14 pm(5) bobbi mendelson says:
I have been plagued with sinus infections and those headaches are resistant to analgesics which are heavy duty. I was told by the infectious disease MD. that Neti pots & irrigation will undermine the immunity after 1 year. I had 2 rare infections which were from Chinese rice paddies & Iraq desert strorm. I was never in contact with any of them. I was told to refrain from any antibiotic. I used align, probiotic & Swiss Aire humidifier with silver microtechnology. It helped & I healed . However I am still sensitive to that issue.

What toolsets are needed to ensure proper testing of mobile applications?
It is said that by 2015, there will be 1.6 billion mobile devices connected to the Internet (according to Morgan Stanley). According to Verizon, that number will be 20 billion by 2050. That's five times the estimated mid-century population of the planet.
What the research doesn't tell us is how many variants there are going to be of those devices. As with the entire history of computing, we have always had to face the challenge of supporting old platforms and future platforms.
In the world of testing for mobile devices, we are also facing many new variants introduced because of the capabilities of the different networks (phone and surf works on AT&T but not on Verizon, for example), the regulations on data capture that vary from state to state and country to country, support for national characteristics of language, character set and even culturally sensitive color schemes. Form factors change from platform to platform, with buttons, screen size and resolution a never-ending evolutionary imperative. In some countries, support for users with disabilities is mandated. In other countries, some capabilities need to be turned off. The possible number of configurations needed to be supported runs to the tens of thousands and is increasing exponentially each time a new platform, or hybrid platform like the newly announced Kindle Fire, is introduced.
So what do tools look like that support the testing of all this diversity?
Configuration management is a critical piece of this puzzle. A configuration management tool that can maintain the configurations across a number of intersecting vectors of operating system, hardware platform, country regulations, state regulations, etc., is essential. Perhaps the most important attribute to maintain though is risk: what risk is non-compliance? Is it loss of revenue or time on jail? Is it having your platform banned in that country (Samsung Germany)? Is it massive fines for your corporation?
Automated testing tools are also critical to enabling adequate test coverage of the mobile application. Investment in this area is often far below where it should be. In terms of relative complexity, mobile apps tend to focus on the mainstream actions -- compare your online banking experience through the website to your mobile banking application, for example. This means that the number of variations of test paths is more controlled.
Remember that each time the UI changes, it invalidates the automated tests. So the mobile application needs to be architected for testing. Segment the functionality so that features that are not changing are unaffected by changes to parts of the application that are. This prolongs the currency of the automated test scripts.
And finally, ensure that every action is logged and tracked so that reports can be run and "hot spots" can be determined and fixed over time.

In this 16mm Taylor Steele release we are immersed in a world of surf travel, where the journey is as important as the destination. Each chapter of the film begins with the narration, "There once was a man who became unstuck in the world…" before melting into a delicately woven tale of a purest's quest for surfing adventure and freedom.
[quote]There once was a man who became unstuck in the world – he took the wind for a map, he took the sky for a clock, and he set off with no destination. He was never lost.[/quote]
The film drifts seamlessly from Iceland to Vietnam, Africa to India and Peru. In every destination as much screen time is dedicated to the country's unique panoramas and people as it is to the wave-riding, with crisp editing and chilled soundtracks effortlessly completing each tale.
The surf action is pretty good but this is a film about adventure, not surfing perfect Indonesian lefts or landing alley oops – so it's probably not the choice to amp yourself up before a big session. That is unless you plan to travel to Peru first (and after watching this you just might!).
Notable segments include Dane Reynolds surfing a mechanical right amidst snow-capped mountains in Iceland, Rasta absolutely blowing up in India and Rob Machado nailing endless Peruvian lefts. Rob's section is worth the price of the film alone: the guy has some serious flow, gliding above, beneath and into the lip with silky smooth precision.
The best moments for me were seeing Kalani Robb flaring up under a giant Vishnu statue"s all-knowing gaze and Rasta slotting through a pier in absolutely flawless Indian perfection.
If you are an errant dreamer who hears the sirens of adventure whispering as you lay in bed at night this film may provide the inspiration you need to get out there, on the road.

When the 66th Little League World Series begins next month in Williamsport, Pa., Braeden Swilley will be more than an interested onlooker.
The 10-year-old catcher for the will be honored by the global Little League Baseball and Softball organization as its 2012 Little League "Good Sport of the Year."
Swilley, who will be a 5th grader this fall at , will be recognized for exemplifying "superior qualities of sportsmanship, leadership, a commitment to teamwork and a desire to excel."
In an incident this spring that was mentioned in Swilley's nomination, he was struck in the face mask by a bat and was dazed for a moment. But after resuming his position behind the plate, Swilley met with the batter and they touched gloves, indicating no hard feelings.
"I don't think I did anything that any other player wouldn't have," Swilley said in an interview on the Little League website. "I just wanted to let him know what happened is part of the game, that's just baseball."
He is the son of Smith and Sweden Swilley.

Guilty Bakery opened at 54 Main St. in April and is already making friends with their colorful cookies, cute cupcakes and amazing cakes.
Amy Dieso and Krista Maylater are trained bakers who were worked together at another bakery in Southeastern Massachusetts when Dieso asked Maylater if she'd be interested in opening their own bakery. "I was like OK! What a great oporunity," Maylater said.
The bakery has been open a month and orders for custom cakes, cookies and more are pouring in. When the Boston Marathon bombing occurred, they immediately thought about what they could do to help.
They went to what they know and baked cookies shaped like the United States, decorated with Marathon blue and yellow ribbons of frosting, and emblazoned with the words, "Boston Strong." All of the proceeds from the cookies are going to the One Fund.
For Mother's Day, the bakers are whipping up jars of cookies featuring flowers, hearts and more sweet designs.
Guilty Bakery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays. Reach the bakery at 508-746-2958 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Custom orders are always welcome.

Several short-term fixes were considered last week when Huntington and state Department of Transportation officials met for follow-up discussions on a troublesome 5-way intersection on Jericho Turnpike.
The proposed short-term fixes include pavement markings to better channel traffic and will be implemented while the state continues to do origin and destination traffic studies, said A.J. Carter, Huntington town spokesman.
The pavement markings will include arrows painted on the road and lanes more clearly marked so people know which lane to use when they are turning off Jericho or crossing onto Dix Hills or Broadway/Greenlawn roads, Carter said.
"The long-term fixes are being studied. Those will take money and there's no money right now with budget cuts. In the meantime, they want to focus on what they can do," Carter said. A state spokesperson could provide no additional details or a timetable for the proposed work last week.
Patricia DelCol, deputy town supervisor, and Steve McGloin, director of transportation safety for the town, met with the state DOT regional staff, Carter said. "They feel optimistic that these pavement markings will help," he said. There also was more discussion about one of the state DOT's initial recommendations, to allow traffic heading south on Dix Hills Road to make only right turns onto Jericho, but that option is still being studied as it is clear, Carter said, that it lacks town support.
The state has jurisdiction over traffic flow on Jericho Turnpike, while the other roads feeding the intersection – Dix Hills Road and Broadway/Greenlawn – are town roads.
Part of the origin and destination studies involve looking at the flow of traffic on Dix Hills Road and the flow of traffic along Jericho to and from Park Avenue. The state also is continuing to collect data for right of way studies, the state spokesperson said.

A week and a couple days until I have to start writing in earnest, and I'll be gone for half that. But I feel ready... sort of. My brain has consciously NOT been plotting and planning. I have the characters, the basic structure, a lot of questions, and the rest is just going to have to come together on the fly as November progresses. I think I should be far more worried about this than I am. Like there's a murder in part one and I don't know which guy gets murdered or by whom, and, as it ties heavily into part two, I feel I oughta know who gets bumped off. I can make a case for all sorts of scenarios, and all of them work, but none of them feel right yet.
I'm sure the characters will delight in surprising me when I actually get there.
My goal this week is simply to read and read and read. Get words flowing easily in my head.

Yeah, I keep feeling like I should be panicking right now. Or at least running around stocking up on caffeine. Actually, one of my bros-in-law just gave me half a pound of Starbucks coffee beans, so maybe I've got a start on that.
Hmm. Why am I not wigging out? I'm afraid I'm getting cocky. Han Solo told me not to do that, so I hope I'm not!

So comfortable!
By Beach Lady
from Hamilton
The moment I put these shoes on, knew they were a "keeper". It is like walking on pillows as they comfort your foot. Nothing bad to say, except that TSC doesn't seem to bring in an abundance of larger sizes, so if you fit in this category, buy fast!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Shoe
By Golfergirl
from Ottawa (Ontario)
I had tried these shoes on in a local store but they didn't have my size in the all black (upper and sole) so when I saw them on tSc I bought them. I'm a standard size 7 but it does help if you can try them on first in real time!! They are extremely comfortable and I would actually buy more colours.

Nice shoe but . . .
By Newbie
from Vancouver, BC
These could have been comfortable shoes and they have a good sole which was the reason for purchasing them. Unfortunately, they did not fit and had to return them. It was disappointing because I was really hoping they would fit - I needed a good walking shoe. . . Seriously doubt I will purchase shoes on-line again - shoes need to be tried on before purchasing them.
these shoes are the best!
By Pat
from Castlegar
I have had achilles tendon pain for a year and a half and it now is going away by wearing these shoes, so I bought another pair and I'm very happy with them. I have quite a few pair of Ketchers and every pair I buy are the best and so comfortable.

Super comfortable & light
By The walker
from Kitchener (Ontario)
I did not buy these through the Shopping Channel but just so you know they are the most comfortable shoes ever!! I have wide feet and high instep and I would recommend these. Perfect for walking, shopping and just bopping around.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — I would like to know why the NT DPW does not follow up on complaints regarding residents putting trash out to the curb a week before the regular pick up or 3 weeks prior to a bulk pickup. They have written policies regarding both issues, but don't follow through on them regardless of how many complaints are made.
Just read an article in your "Reader Letter" section in Friday's, May 24th edition. The article was written by Ed Slowinski. I've had the pleasure of knowing Ed for quite a while in my life, from playing hockey, to his catering and restaurant businesses. He is a top notch man and a credit to Tonawanda. This article he wrote was just beautiful. I really wish everyone could read this and that people who chose to abuse their animals in any way, shape or form, read this article. They would realize just how important a pet is as a member of their family and what they can teach us. Well said Ed. Stop by the Boys & Girls Club...I'll buy you a hot dog!
Now with weather getting nicer,and more people spending time outdoors, I think it's time for the police in North Tonawanda to start doing something with the group of drunks that hang out at Pinewoods park. Every day and night there are little kids at the playground, people playing Frisbee golf, families taking walks or things going on at the shelters.There's always a group who sit at the back table getting trashed. Either they stagger away, or pass out there. People don't need to see this.They also have little shanty's set up in the woods with blankets. Get them out of there please. Don't let them ruin this park.
I agree with what I read in the newspaper the other day about Governor Cuomo pushing the tax plan. I agree with what people keep saying, "when is he going to help the little people." This is what's so important, there are so many of us that just have social security and it just isn't enough, we need help.
I think Tonawanda police do a relatively good job. Although one point that they lack is parking enforcement on Main St, where many make parking violations daily. All I ask is that they send one officer to Main St. once a month to ticket, and I think that would solve the problem.
This is to the ignorant person claiming Bush flew over the hurricane in Louisisana. Cuomo asked Obama not to come to New York with the last disaster because of all the chaos it causes with secret service and all. Bush only flew over because the Democratic governor, I repeat, the Democratic governor did not want him to come using the chaos as an excuse. It was more a political move. Blame Bush. When are you idiots going to stop back talking about Bush? Obama is in office and he is the one screwing everything up

Hundreds of young children were ecstatic as they enjoyed festivities such as a showing of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," cookie decorating, sledding, Santa Claus visits and a candy cane factory.
The event was organized city Recreation Specialist Chris Smith, who has been involved with the event since it was called Candy Cane Village. Other city employees like lifeguard Tomas Dollar were brought over from the aquatic safety department to staff the event.

Would this still be considered khulwah?

Would this still be considered khulwah?
Assalamu alaykum,
Scenario: A woman is living in Saudi Arabia alone and must work to support herself. She does not have the option to walk to work. Obviously, she can't drive, so what are her halal options?
According to all the fatwas I read in IslamQA (#1, #2, #3, #4) a woman riding in a car alone with one male non-mahram driver is considered khulwah.
I've read the following explanation of khulwah (cited in IslamQA):
The guideline regarding khulwah is that this prohibition applies in any situation where their figures are hidden from other people (Fath al-Baari, 9/333).
What is meant by the kind of khulwah that is haraam is not only a man being alone with a non-mahram woman in a room where no one can see them, rather it includes their being alone in any place where they can converse with one another, even if that is where others can see them but not hear them, and whether that is in the open air, in a car, on the roof of a house, or wherever. Khulwah is forbidden because it is the forerunner of zina (adultery, fornication) and the means that leads to zina. Every case that is like this comes under the same rulings as khulwah in the sense of being away from where people can see you. (Fataawa al-Lajnahal-Daa'imah, 17/57)
If it is permissible, then that answers my question.
If it is not, then would she be required to hire two males so that there are three people in the car and not just one male and one female? (Two males because if she hires one male driver and a female to be the third, then when she gets dropped off at work the male driver and the female would be left alone in the car).

Re: Would this still be considered khulwah?
walaikum assalam
this is why i don't understand why they do not allow women to drive themselves and by the way i think that fatwa site also says woman cannot live alone.
