- Overall a good dining experience.DittyDined on 8/31/2014Our food was good. The clam chouder was delicious- rich & creamy. The service was subpar - our water glasses were not refilled until we asked and our soup bowls were not removed until the main course was served & it took awhile to get our food, dessert, etc. We usually have good service & the food is wonderful so we will return & recommend to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ConventionVandymanDined on 8/25/2014Friendly staff. Had drinks at bar before dinner. Sandy was attentive and prompt. The bathroom was not very clean and was not attended to after I asked the manager to check it out. He seemed to not care. Steak was cooked to temperature. Alaskan king crabs were not "steamed to perfection". They were just warm. By the time we were asked how is your dinner it was too late to complain. The manager never came by to ask about our dinner and they were not very budySpecial Features:
- FoodiePatootieDined on 8/23/2014Fabulous food, superior service, lovely view and great ambience. Only disappointment was the oysters were not shucked well, there were shards of shell.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovsoufflesDined on 8/21/2014Food outstanding. Dessert soufflé excellent. Service weak our night: long wait for entrees, with wine & bread showing up only just before entrees & dessert soufflés ready before we finished entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classy and classic HHI viewWeKenDineInStyleDined on 8/18/2014Best view on the island of Skull Creek. For a romantic sunset view and the best food outside of a major city, Chart House has always impressed me and my guests. It refuses to disappoint. Elegance and comfort without being snooty has been my experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good meal.c3gramDined on 8/17/2014Chart House Hilton Head is consistently fine. This was a lunch visit and the restaurant was serene with service inside and out. The creek view provides a nice background to a well- presented lovely meal. Seafood is the specialty and is fresh and tasty. Don't miss the shrimp and fritters and the lava cake!Special Features:
- Really badwtlacyDined on 8/14/2014My friend and I were going to the neighboring joint, Hudson's, but the wait was over 2 hours so we decided to hit the Chart House. We ate at the bar and while the service was fine, the food was really bad. We both had the Snapper Hemingway at the bartender's suggestion and it was gross. The breading was too thick and the fish was very dry. It tasted like it was made somewhere else, frozen, and then fried up. I'll never go back because if there is one thing I hate it is a seafood place on an island or at the beach that screws up seafood.
- Food not worth the priceBRS1Dined on 8/14/2014Clam chowder and She Crab soup excellent. Everything else was mediocre.Server was not attentive. Side were not correct on meal and new sides arrived after we finished. Great view but not a great experience otherwise.
- Over RatedWeeatoutalotDined on 8/9/2014We recently dined at Chart House. Nice view. The food was ok. I should add the chowder was one of the best I have had. But the service was very poor. A not inexpensive restaurant so I expect a professional waiter or waitress. However, instead we had a young kid who was clueless on waiting and what the restaurant had to offer.Special Features:
- Good view, if ........TableforSixDined on 8/8/2014We usually visit The Chart House several times each summer while we're at Hilton Head. The food is always good. Service usually is as well, but not so much this year. Long waits between courses. Had to ask for bread, which in years past was never the case. Biggest complaint - even though we always make reservations beforehand, we never get a table anywhere near the ones with prime views. In fact, this year we were tucked up in a back corner with a very large family gathering whose many kids were completely out of control. Loud and unruly, running around and disruptive to pretty much everyone else in the area. Not so much a fan this year. Doubt that we'll make a return visit . . . .Special Features:
- FabulousBetsyDined on 8/8/2014Evening was perfect, food terrific, service perfection. Great choice for our last night in Hilton Head.Special Features:
- Great food and atmosphere.MaryKLDawgDined on 8/8/2014We took our 2 kids - 10 and 8 to dinner at Chart House during our vacation and it was amazing. The food was delicious and even though the atmosphere was a bit "fancy" the restaurant was very kid friendly. I recommend for great seafood for a special occasion. The prices were a little on the high end ($8 for a bowl of soup- no option for a smaller, cup size) but it was totally worth it. We will go back next year!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great venue AND foodPittsburghfoodieVIPDined on 8/6/2014We were there at Happy Hour. They had great wines and food selections for happy hour. fish tacos and fried green tomatoes. On the appetizer menu, my fav was Shrimp, Artichoke,bacon and brie dip. Wish they would email the recipe.Special Features:
- Wondeerful Server and menuSwampfoxDined on 8/2/2014Our Server was excellent. We had requested a table by window and they honored. We had not had that at other HH restaraunts. Wide selection, especially if you like fish and shell fish. They even had oysters rockerfellow.The she crab soup was different. We like it creamy. It did had a scoop of crab which was great. Would return on next visit to HH.Special Features:
- A different Chart HouseHWT3VIPDined on 8/2/2014I you are used to a large Chart House salad bar, this is different. No salad bar, but great food and beautiful sunsets over Skull Creek on Hilton Head Island, SC. Come and enjoy.Special Features:
- We loved our dining experience!CarolRutgersDined on 7/30/2014We celebrated ouranniversary at Charthouse. I had a chopped salad which was very fresh and my husband had the trio of soups. He liked the NE clam chowder the best. I enjoyed the blackened salmon with fingering potatoes. He had shrimp over linguine which he LOVED. We splurged and split the peach raspberry cobbler with. Ice cream which was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/29/2014Terrible food but a beautiful view. The best part about my meal were the cocktails! Martini's were good but the wine by the glass was terrible! Don't waist the money.Special Features:
- Good choice!Leeman72Dined on 7/29/2014Enjoyed everything here and our waiter Wayne was great....helpful and knowledgeable........all of us chose different dishes and shared..........all good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceNonaDined on 7/29/2014We had a party of 7, including two children. We were greeted warmly, were seated immediately at a table with a nice view. Our waiter was excellent. He arranged for a grilled cheese for the five year old, even though it was not on the kid's menu. We had appetizers, entrees and dessert. The oysters , dip, and springs rolls were all good. Three in our party loved the grouper entree, two of us ordered crab cakes which were okay. Oh, and the she crab soup is the best I have had on the island! Also love that you can make reservationsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with familyORdinnerVIPDined on 7/25/2014My wife and I had been to the chart house many times as we have been vacationing on HHI for the past 22 years. This year we invited the immediate family down for the week We had a party of 10 ,7 adults and 3 children.It was their last night in Hilton head before returning to NYC and wanted to have a good dining experience in a scenic restaurant. We started being seated outside,our request, but just before the appetizers arrived the heavens opened up and rained for the next 4 hours. Our server Sarah was magnificent getting us reseated in the main dining room . Everyone enjoyed their meals from steak to lobster , appetizers were excellent the best crab cake.Thanks for the dining experience. Wife and I are here for another week see you againSpecial Features:
- don't order beef!valuedinerVIPDined on 7/25/2014Although the fish the rest of our party ordered was great, my filet mignon was the worst I've had on ages - hardly worthy of such a high priced restaurant. I think better quality meat should be served at this price point - without gristle!Special Features:
- Good experienceMarkVIPDined on 7/23/2014Scenery and food were very good. Wait staff attentive!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spend your hard earned $ elsewhereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/21/2014We were seated by a door leading to the outside - constant through fare. Waiter was trying to serve way too many tables with no bus boy. Food was good but for the lack of service - we finally stacked our own dishes to make room on the table - was not worth the price tag at all.
- A must in Hilton HeadClemmanDined on 7/21/2014This is the best restaurant in Hilton Head! The scallops were outstanding. Everyone in our party ordered something different and all were impressed. Service is second to none.Special Features:
- SuperbOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/19/2014The Chart House did a stellar job of seating us, timely attending to and serving us, and our meals were unusually good. I "almost" listened to some of the negative reviews and if I had, we would have missed the finest evening of our ten night vacation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dining experience!LibbyandMikeDined on 7/18/2014The food was great, the service was superb, and atmosphere was relaxing. Our server was the very best, and managers came over to check on us, as well. We felt like VIPs! We asked for and received water view seating, the best table in the house! The soup trio was yummy, especially with the delicious complimentary bread. We had coconut shrimp and shrimp and grits, both excellent! We will be back on our next HHI visit!Special Features:
- Bay viewmartigDined on 7/18/2014When I pay 25-30 per entree (that doesn't include a salad) I expect one of the best restaurant meals available. Chart House comes pretty close to meeting my expectations. It took the waiting staff 3 reminders to have lemon brought to the table, but overall the service and, especially, the ambiance, was excellent. I have had better fish entrees (K-Pauls in New Orleans comes to mind) but I give it 4 of 5 stars for food overall. I also had the chopped house salad and Key Lime pie which were excellent. As an added bonus, there was a wonderful guitarist on the back patio playing appropriate dinner music. All in all a nice experience...if a bit pricey.Special Features:
- Not what it used to beOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/18/2014The Chart House, formerly Charlie's Crab, on Hilton Head transitioned perfectly upon it's purchase by the Landry's chain, however, several years later, their menu and subsequently their food is boring and lackluster. Gone are the days of exciting specials that would make your mouth water. Now, all of their "specials" are listed on the "summer menu"; the same food available night after night, without any chef's creativity. Fresh fish prepared grilled, blackened, or in herb butter...big deal. I opted for the Peach Glazed Mahi (or something like that) which was okay, not at all worth the $26 for the entree. As always, the She-Crab Soup and Martha's Vineyard Salad scored big time with me. The experience wasn't worth $150 for soup & salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow, bad service, lots of excusesRealdealdinerDined on 7/17/2014On time with reservations, good there. Food was good. Service was very bad. Food took forever and was wrong or missing something on every course. Excuses after excuse. Sitting at the table I read the online reviews and wish I would have done so beforehand! Tons of complaints about poor service and they were correct. This many complaints and problems is a clear management problem. Poor training and low expectations. Hugos, Marleys, Oyster Factory, Santa Fe, Salty Dog.....all much better choices.
- WallyVIPDined on 7/16/2014I had the local fish that was over cooked. Person I was with enjoy their food very well. We have eaten many times and the food is usually very good. It was the busiest I have seen this resturuant so that could have contributed to our experience. The service is usaually exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Such potentialBandit29VIPDined on 7/16/2014Wednesday evening special dinner was the plan. Wonderful setting and spacious but shares parking with Hudson Seafood so parking at least 200 yards away. Bread amazing but server was pathetic. After waiting post appetizers for entrée more than 15 minutes he stopped back and inquired if we wanted desert before he brought us our check!!! After reminding him we were still waiting for our entrées...when they arrived (award winning seafood boil) we were faced with 3 shrimp...6 mussels and a piece of overcooked red fish). This restaurant could do so much better.Special Features:
- Nice treatPamperedDined on 7/16/2014Was a nice treat. Great food and excellent view. Sunset was exquisite.Special Features:
- Great food and viewKchampDined on 7/16/2014Overall an excellent experience food was great especially their bread and tuna appetizer! Bartender was friendly and really knowledgable for after dinner drinks. Great view of sunset and docks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OustandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/16/2014Husband took me there for my 50th birthday. The food was delicious!Special Features:
- Go Here and Be DisappointedDennisSVIPDined on 7/15/2014I called to confirm and request a special table and requested a special desert for the anniversary couple. Our server was new and not knowledgeable of the menu or procedures for ordering. The appetizer was served promptly with drinks. However we then waited for almost an hour before our dinner was served. Our server apologized again and again for the poor service and said there was a new temporary chef as the normal chef was on vacation. The manager apologized too and said he could not even offer any compensation for the poor service. He also indicated there was a party of 52 people that was taking up the restaurant's resources. Of course, there was no recognition of the anniversary celebration or any special desert as requested.
- LetsEatDined on 7/15/2014Our 2nd visit. Rained both times. Seating inside was great but hope to sit outside and enjoy the view next visit. Food and service are reasons to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chart House ViewOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/15/2014The view from the Chart House is fantastic!!! Had a wonderful time there and will go back.Special Features:
- SLOWnormaldinerDined on 7/14/2014We always visit the Chart House when we're in Hilton Head and have always had great food and service. This time we waited an hour for our food to arrive. The restaurant wasn't even full! Even had to ask the manager what was going on. Don't know if we'll be back.Special Features:
- Not worth $$OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/13/2014We eat at this chart house several times a year being locals. I have eaten other chart houses and this one is not great. First the manager is extremely unfriendly and curt. We were celebrating the wedding of a young couple in our group and asked for an ocean view table that we reserved 4 days earlier not only did we not receive that table there is also no mention of any sort omade to the couple that we are celebrating with. The waiter was gruff and possessed 0 charm or finesse. The food was fair to good but failed to keep our drinks filled or even bring bread to our table. Very disappointing , will not be returning to this HHI Chart House
- Will go backJJFAVIPDined on 7/12/2014This was our third visit to the Chart House (one for lunch and two dinners). The food was very good all three times. The outdoor table scenery is spectacular....with the view of the Skull Creek, the marina and a nearby large tree with two lg. blue herons perched in it, providing the backdrop. The food and drink were almost an afterthought. However, while the steak was good, if you want it medium (like nearly every restaurant), order it medium rare. The wine servings by the glass are also a bit skinny (6-7 oz.), and carefully measured out. No generous servings here. However, overall, knowing the above, we would come back for a try at the remaining ample menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Here's a collection of highlights, selected totally subjectively, from this week's enterprise HPC news stream as reported at insideHPC.com.
Link and run
Server market: we're number 1. And so are we.
Gartner and IDC release server sales survey results this week and show IBM and HP are number 1.
Market analyst firm IDC just released its Q107 Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker. That report shows that HP shipped more servers than any other company, and lead the HPC market again in the first quarter of 2007. This is the 20th consecutive quarter that HP has led industry server sales. From HP's release, "In the high-performance computing market, HP maintained its No. 1 spot for the first quarter of calendar year 2007 with 33.7 percent revenue share." more
And just to make sure you have a hard time identifying who's really out front, Gartner announced today that IBM is number one in server revenue share. The difference between this announcement and the HP one appears to be that IDC shows HP as leading in units shipped, while Gartner shows IBM as making more money. If I'm right, I'd rather be IBM. more
Building a cluster with Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003?
There are oodles of information sources out there to help get you started, courtesy of Microsoft's influence as the 9,000 pound gorilla in IT. But two new ones showed up in this week's news stream, and I thought I'd point them out to you. The first comes courtesy of Fujitsu in the form of a "best practices" paper on building a Windows CCS cluster with their servers and switches, Myricom cards and drivers, and Active Directory. From the company:

Iĺm not sure that our kids are any less safe than they were 10 or 20 years ago, but the makers of GPS tracking devices sure do want us to believe they are just seconds from being abducted.
ôYou would be surprised that every 40 seconds a child becomes missing or kidnapped. You may also be surprised that only 24 percent of the time is the child kidnapped by someone unknown by the family. The rest of the time, your child is kidnapped by someone you already know ů Another harsh reality is that 74 percent of murdered children are killed within the first three hours after abduction,ö the makers of TraqCloud say on their website.
The solution, of course, is to purchase a tracking device, attach it to your child and then follow their every movement via your smartphone, tablet or computer.
If youĺve ever wished you could microchip your kid just like you did the family dog, this brings you one step closer.
Hereĺs what you need to know:
GPS tracking basics
The same technology that tells you how to get from point A to point B and lets all your Facebook friends know every time you enter a Starbucks can help you follow your kids.
You need a receiver ľ usually a cell phone or a standalone device ľ which your child carries with them. The receiver sends location information via satellite so a user can track movement via a desktop or mobile device.
Often these devices allow you to not only watch where your child is going, but also set up geo-fences that alert you via text or email whenever theyĺve left a set boundary. Many trackers also allow your child to reach out to you if thereĺs an emergency.
There are several tracking options available.
If your child already has a cell phone, you can check if your wireless provider offers locating services (like Verizonĺs Family Locater or AT&Tĺs Family Map), or you can download a third-party tracking app (there are plenty of options) or buy third-party tracking software.
If your kids donĺt have phones yet, you can purchase a stand-alone device the size of a deck of cards or smaller that your child carries with them.
There are plenty of trackers on the market, including eTrak ($130 plus a monthly fee starting at $10), eZoom ($100 plus a $19.99 monthly fee) and PocketFinder ($149.95 plus a $12.95 monthly fee).
For extra vigilant (or paranoid) parents, consider the AmberAlert GPS ($220 for device and a year of service), which alerts you if your child gets within 500 feet of the residence of a registered sex offender.
If youĺre looking for a less expensive option, check out TraqCloud. The startup has launched a Kickstarter campaign and backers who spend $19 or more get their own TraqCloud Anything GPS device, USB charger and pre-activated SIM card with three months of service. After the campaign, the company will charge $69 for the device and a $10 monthly service fee, making it one of the cheapest GPS trackers out there.
CommonSense.org offers great advice on using GPS location services.
Other potential uses
GPS tracking is not only for wandering children. Families also use it to monitor senior citizens who may be suffering from dementia or Alzheimerĺs, as well as adults with special needs and family pets.
Last month, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer even proposed a law that would require the federal government to pay $10 million for GPS tracking devices to be worn by autistic children, who often have the tendency to wander.
CBS News recently reported on the MyStop App, which allows parents to follow a school busĺ route so that their kid doesnĺt have to stand out at the bus stop for longer than necessary. The app offers an estimated time of arrival for the bus and also allows you to check if the bus made it to school safely.
You can also use GPS technology to monitor new drivers. Those with AAA insurance can take advantage of the organizationĺs free OnBoard Teen Safe Driver Program, a GPS monitoring system that allows parents of teenage drivers to track their kids using a desktop or mobile device. Parents can set up speed limit alerts that will notify them when their kids have exceeded a pre-set speed limit, as well as boundary notifications to let them know when their teen has left one location and arrived at another. Have a tech-savvy teen? The device will also alert you when itĺs been disconnected and re-connected.
Coincidentally, itĺs not just kids that people, business and governments are interested in tracking. A startup in Seattle is convincing smartphone users to download their new app, which tracks everywhere they go in exchange for $5 to $10 gift cards and the chance to win bigger prizes like Apple iPads. The company can than sell this wealth of marketing data to other businesses and mobile advertisers. So far 125,000 people have downloaded the app.
There are most likely apps on your phone that are geolocating you without your knowledge or permission. Researchers are in the process of developing an app that will track these nefarious apps and warn you about them.
I guess our kids arenĺt the only ones whoĺve been microchipped.

Here is our Blue corn experiment from this year!
these ears are close to being ready.
this a jar of blue flour that I ground with the little hand grinder that Virginia has.
That's me standin' in the 10 foot stalks!
and a close-up of some ears, shelled kernels, and a bag showing the blue corn chips (this is the corn they use to make these chips with.)
These stalks are the ones I chopped in the Cub Choppin vid ! you can see they do get tall, seem to stand a lot of wind for their size!
We saved some seed from "select" ears to plant for next year and are using the rest for home-ground flour, and for baby chick feed.
We also saved some contender green-beans, king of the garden pole lima beans,sugar baby, yellow tender-sweet , and crimson sweet watermelon , Minnesota midget muskmelon, large fruited cherry tomatoes, black-eye cow-peas, freezonia green peas. (there are a few other's that got saved,--but only for experimenting with)
We can and freeze a lot (mostly freeze since we have 3 deep freezers), but most of the tomato juice is canned. some is cooked down into a sauce. it takes up less space and is concentrated, so add some of it to a cheese pizza, (sister brought one and Virginia got the mato sauce out!), makes it really good!--Virginia maked a seasoning mix to put into tomato juice that make a good thing even better.
Oops!--sorry for the long post, but as you can see we do "live out of the garden" year round! thanks; sonny

Why Every Small Business Needs an iPad
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Running a small business through a tablet or smartphone is quickly becoming the norm for savvy business owners. While some may have originally bought the gadgets simply for the "cool factor," users say the productivity and efficiency from the many apps available has been a welcome surprise.
For small-business owners reluctant to use tablets and smartphones for tasks simple and complex, now -- with the imminent release of the Apple (AAPL) iPad 3 -- may be the time to get aboard. (Apple is expected to announce the new version Wednesday.)
|Small-business owners reluctant to use tablets and smartphones and their accompanying apps may find that now may be the time to get aboard.
It's clear the iPad and exploding app marketplace are useful small-business tools, says Mike Pugh, vice president of marketing at j2 Global (JCOM). The company provides cloud-based services and tools, including mobile apps, so businesses can work more efficiently whether in an office or mobile.
We spoke with Pugh about best practices for the adoption of mobile technology as full-time business instruments:Why should business owners embrace mobile technology? Pugh: To be able to do more business. [With instruments such as the iPad] they have the flexibility to do business on their own terms. You can do product demos and take it out onto the retail floor or meet in a conference room and have a very well-designed reference of product data. You can show images, show videos, drill down to find information in real time. It gives the customer confidence that the questions can be answered well and on the spot. One of the benefits is the battery life. Many of us use computers and have been stuck in meetings where our batteries drop off. The iPad was the first nonphone to keep with them all day long knowing it would not drop off on them. And if you're going to rely upon a business tool it has to be there when you need it in order to be truly mobile. Being able to do what you want to do anywhere, anytime has value you can't envision until you do it.

Lions, tigers and bob cats? It's summer camp on the wild side, compliments Tampa's Big Cat Rescue.
"We teach children to respect these animals, they are not meant to be pets," said education director Willow Hecht.
Big Cat Rescue is the largest accredited sanctuary in the world dedicated entirely to abused and abandoned big cats. The rescue houses over 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts.
"These cats have been locked up in cages, beaten, the stories are really sad," Hecht said.
During Big Cat Rescue's summer camp children will be able to help prepare meals for the exotic cats and explore the 55 acre campus in Citrus Park while learning about animal habitats, diets, adaptations and conservation.
Here is the link to Big Cat Rescue's Summer Camp to see more about what your child can experience at the camp.

A bicyclist was seriously injured in an accident in Wicker Park two weeks ago, but he's just now finding out what happened.
"I have a recollection of bring on the ground, breathing, and realizing this wasn't just like normal knocked wind, that it was something pretty painful," Valenta says of the accident.
Dustin Valenta, 27, was riding northbound on Milwaukee Avenue, when a woman in a parked car opened her door in front of him.
Valenta remembers that part, but he doesn't remember how he ended up with 23 broken ribs, a fractured pelvis and hip, two broken collar bones, and a fractured left shoulder.
The next thing he remembers is being in the ambulance.
"I just remember them saying that another bystander said I had been run over by a truck that had hit and run," Valenta recalls.
Valenta's parents, who live in different parts of the country, rushed to his side. He spent a week and a half at Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit.
His attorney quickly filed a lawsuit to gain access to surveillance video at a bank near the scene of the incident. The video shows Valenta's dark figure enter the left of the screen. Then, a truck rolls right over him and keeps going.
"It very clearly shows a white pickup truck with a white cab in the back strike and drive over Dustin's body as he laid in Milwaukee Avenue," family attorney Michael Keating says.
"It was really good to see it," Valenta's mother says. "But really hard to see him lying in the street like that."
The bicyclist says at this point he's grateful to be alive and to have his parents by his side.
"If I had to do this alone, I think I would, I don't know what it would be," Valenta says. "It would be insane."
Dustin's attorney tells FOX 32 News that he is upset with the way the Chicago Police Department has handled this accident. He has not had access to the accident report, but the video he was able to gain will be going directly to the Chicago Police Department.
Dustin has since been released from the ICU, but is still at the hospital recovering.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Students who want a well-rounded introduction to astrological practice and philosophy are encouraged to complete a Diploma. The core diploma also grants them NCGR Level III certification. It will take approximately 3 years to complete this diploma if students take a single class each term.
This Diploma is designed for students who want more than just knowing a bucket of techniques. It gives students a grounding in the field, plus an understanding of astrology's place in history and culture.
The following 12 classes plus the two chart calculation labs are required.
Students who intend to become practicing astrologers are encouraged to complete a Practicum such as WR204 Delineation offered through the Relationship Certificate. This practicum would allow them to work collectively to apply chart reading skills for clients in a guided environment. This is an excellent way to get a headstart on the the practice and skills you need to see clients on a professional basis.
The Diploma with Specialization (6 courses plus demonstration of professional growth) gives the student the opportunity to build their skills in three ways: build a solid foundation of knowledge about astrology's development and breadth through the ages, concentrate on a specialty area and do a demonstration of their professional.
Pre-requisite: Completion of basic diploma
Instructor: Frank Piechoski and Bruce Scofield
Prerequisite: W101 or equivalent
For any major undertaking, it's wise to consider "planning its birth" through the judicious use of Electional astrology. Electional astrology works with a specific set of tools and rules to do discover the most appropriate timing for an event that will give a desired outcome.
Students will learn the basic rules for Electional astrology, and when and how those rules have been modified over time.
Taught by Bruce Scofield
This course is required for the Certificate Diploma, but can also be taken as an elective.
Astronomy and astrology have the same origins in the explorations and explanations of the visual sky. Astronomy is the study of the nature, motions and history of the Earth's cosmic environment. In this course, specifically designed for Kepler College students, we will emphasize themes relevant to a general understanding of the subject rather than one involving technical knowledge and mathematics. Our text book is "The Evolving Universe" by Michael Zeilik, an easy to read college astronomy text with many illustrations and well-thought out exercise questions - a number of which are assigned.
Astrology has a rich heritage stretching back thousands of years. We sometimes think of astrology as just one thing, but different cultures asked different questions as they found meaning in the ever-changing sky. This class offers a survey of the history of astrology, primarily in the West.
Primary Instructor: Christine Arens.
The math calculation labs guide the student into an understanding of how to calculate a chart by hand. If you want to pass the organizational exams, you will need these classes.
One Unit. Cost: $150.00 or $75.00 if you are enrolled in another class in the Fundamentals or Movement Certificate.
In addition to webinars and workshops that are held at any time, there are regularly scheduled 10-week courses that are part of the primary Certificate and Diploma Program. These follow a specific schedule with four terms per year. You are welcome to begin taking courses in any term. Please click here for additional information on the certificate and diploma program.

My first experience with the Kepler Certificate Program has been an amazing journey. After many years of reading and trying to understand how astrology works, I decided I needed help pulling all the pieces together.
Since I work and have a family, the Kepler online learning program has been a wonderful way for me to reach out to the Universe and understand just a little more about who I am and where I want to go. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and accessible.
The online learning environment is a great tool with video, audio, webinars, resource links, pdf documents, etc. Kepler also includes their own text and work book and a great selection of an easy to understand astrology books. With the ability to review any area I may find challenging, my learning is exciting and adapted to my needs.
I am enthusiastic and looking forward to continuing my astrological search with Kepler.
Thanks again, Linda Schingen (W101)
ISAR supports and recommends schools of astrology all over the world whose curriculum enables students of astrology to raise their knowledge to the high standards necessary to become an ISAR CAP (Certificate of Astrological Proficiency).
As of January 2012, the NCGR-PAA Board has unanimously approved acceptance of Kepler's Certificate Program into their Equivalency Program. Those students completing the Kepler Certificate Program must take NCGR-PAA's Level IV exam in order to earn NCGR-PAA certification. They are exempt from taking Levels I, II, and III.

Former WVU Players On Rich Rodriguez, Unvarnished
Grant Wiley, Dee McCann, Quincy Wilson
So MGoUser fab5 found a West Virginia blog called Couch Fire Sports that had an interview with former WVU linebacker Grant Wiley—a totally unvarnished interview. The blog's managed to land almost a dozen of these interviews with former athletes and they're… blunt. A section of cornerback Dee McCann's interview:
CFS: Was WVU your first experiance with mass amounts of "white girls"?
DM: Yes it was, and I had fun.
CFS: Is it true you knocked out a younger star recruit at Hardees and sent him straight to Divison 2 ball over a very cute female athlete?
DM: NO COMMENT, Hahahaha. NO COMMENT !!!
These things have a zero BS rating, and a lot of them talk about Rich Rodriguez. The results follow.
Dee McCann [CB, JUCO, 2004-2005]:
CFS: How were the practices in the NFL compared to thoughs of Rich Fraud? Did he have you practice to many hours also?
DM: The practice hours were about the same but Coach Rods practice was more high tempo but he prepare me for the next level. …
CFS: If you could tell Rich Fraud one thing it would be … Hey Coach …
Anthony Mims [CB, 2000-2005]:
CFS: How do you feel about the negative light being shed on WVU by Ex Coach Rich Rodriguez?
AM: I think it's some BS, but not mainly on Rods part, but the NCAA. Those "violations" can be seen at any other school in the country.
CFS: If you talked to Coach Rod on the phone, you would say … Hey Coach ….
AM: I'd wish him luck on the upcoming season and thank him for everything he's done for me.
Quincy Wilson [RB, 1999-2004]:
CFS: So is Rich Rod a dick? What are your thoughts?
QW: The whole Coach Rod thing was handled wrong on both ends. I never had a problem with Coach Rod. I think if you want to leave then fine will find a coach that bleeds blue and gold like Coach Stew.
CFS: What are your thoughts on the Super Bowl Shuffle?
QW: one of the classiest songs ever.
Vaughn Rivers [CB, 2003-2007]:
CFS: How do you feel about the negative light that is shed upon WVU with all the Rich Rodriguez drama?
VR: Alot of propaganda you know alot of behind the scenes issues the public really never knew about. Some things that never get brought to light but the loyalty of the West Virginia faithful is incomparable and I can also understand their feelings of betrayal.
CFS: If you talked to Coach Rod on the phone, what would you have to say to him? Hey Coach …
VR: I would tell him as I always have and always do, thank you for the opportunity you gave me and the work ethic you installed in us.
John Pennington [walk-on WR, 2000-2003]:
CFS: How do you feel about the negative light Rich Rodriguez has brought upon WVU with the investigations?
JP: I know Bill Stewart will do a great job handling the situation and I hope we can turn it into a positive.
Finally, Grant Wiley [LB, 2000-2003] wrote paragraphs and paragraphs, too many to replicate here. Here's a chunk:
Couch Fire Sports: First impressions of Rich Rod?
Grant Wiley: … Michigan players, fans, and alumni need to stop crying like a bunch of babies and turn on the 2007 Mountaineers so they can see their future.
I remember coming back to school after the Music City Bowl, on crutches, for our first meeting with Rich. I didn't research him or read any of the papers so I really had no idea what to expect. I wouldn't have known that I was Big East Rookie of the Year hadn't it been for the trophy I was presented with. So Rich introduced the staff and very adamantly told us we were going to play like our hair was on fire or not play at all. From the start he was re-instilling the discipline I feel we needed at the time. The meeting ended and typically people were overreacting, trying to find their exit strategy, and a lot of guys were just ready to take that next step to win, coming off of destroying another SEC team.
Rich pulls me into his office and breaks me down like this. "Grant, you had a good year, and I think you are a good player. You didn't really have to work for your position, it was kind of handed to you." At the time I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but I knew what I went through to start as a freshman and the work I put in to be the best linebacker in the country. So I didn't over react, I just took it as more motivation to prove this guy I was the best. Maybe that is what his objective was to begin with.
Wiley's "one knock" on RR was his lack of "truly genuine relationships" with the players he didn't recruit. Wiley says he's sure that's changed, but the transition at Michigan suggests it hasn't.
A second question about whether he'd rather play for RR or Bill Stewart has this section:
I loved the fact that Coach Rod's in your face attitude was being embodied by guys I played with that naturally didn't have that attitude, so in the end they were better players because of it. I mean the proof is in the pudding. Coach Rod wins games. No matter where he goes, he is going to win games. Coach Stew has been winning games as well. But, I don't see the same attitude out on the field, offensively, as when Rich was in charge. You can teach technique until your blue in the face but if you don't have that killer inside come out when you play, you won't stand a chance.
You should probably read the whole thing; it's more insight into Rich Rodriguez's philosophy and program in a few paragraphs than we've gotten since his hire.
BONUS UNEXPECTED BEILEIN HATE. One basketball player who experienced the John Beilein era was interviewed, Drew Schiflino:
CFS – If you and Coach Beilein had a phone conversation how would it go, Hey Coach ….
DS – Hey coach you're so fake and the biggest asshole ever, karmas a bitch … CLICK.
That's like… hanging up the phone, right? Not pulling a trigger?
UPDATE: should note that Schiflino was kicked off the team before his senior year. You could probably find some WVU football guys who did not complete their careers with unkind words for RR, too.
Beilein calls new NCAA Tournament set-up a happy medium
Steve Hawkins… Not a Happy Camper
now Beilein's getting it. I LOVE THE OFFSEASON.
Unverified Voracity Goes Eeee Once More
More meta UFR stuff. Biological fun fact: because of Chris Chelios, Mike Comrie, and my loose affiliation with the Wings due to a childhood spent in then hockey-free Colorado, I migrated my NHL fandom to the Edmonton Oilers a while back. How's that working out? Just fantastic, thanks.
One of the compensations of following the sort of team that would sign 70-year-old Nikolai Khabibulin to a four-year deal without giving him a physical is that the blogging community around the team is spectacularly good. I've read Lowetide and MC79 for years and have just stumbled on the SBNation Oilers blog. It has a post called "Groupthink, Confirmation Bias, Hockey Fans And Microstats." I put in in the feed reader three times.
Anyway, here's UFR motivation in a nutshell:
In the world of sports fans, confirmation biases abound. It's impossible for individual fans to record, catalog, process, analyze and interpret the results of hundreds of independent events occurring constantly throughout a game, but it's much easier to pick out those events and sequences of events that support their conclusions. Any hockey fan that has sat silently shaking their head while the crowd piles on an undeserving player recognizes this immediately. It's a powerful psychological force, especially in a setting like sports. Fans can confirm their biases for themselves and immediately fall back on thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of fellow fans to confirm what they already know.
It seems that the Michigan fan's groupthink these days has been pretty accurate. Most of the people who have come in for internet horsewhippings have subsequently fluttered in and out of the lineup (Mike Williams, JT Floyd, Obi Ezeh, Jonas Mouton, Dorrestein/Huyge platoon) or been moved to less terrifying spots for their athleticism (Kovacs). Even so, it's nice to have UFRs around for when it's unjustified, like when Steve Breaston was getting killed for dropping about the same number of balls as any other receiver on the team.
And yes, I will UFR the Ohio State game, probably about a week after spring practice finishes up.
Right, I forgot about the pablum. So Da'Sean Butler suffered an ugly ACL tear in his Final Four game against Duke and then had that uncomfortable moment with Huggins.
But before that he said a bunch of nice things about Beilein:
"Everybody has to buy in, and you have to get the right people," Butler said, referring to Beilein's offense, which requires discipline and precise shooting. "You've got to get the absolute right people for that system, because if you have even one person that doesn't understand or doesn't care to understand, a cancer on the team of some sort, then it can throw everything off, honestly.
"The system works. That's the best system I've ever been part of in my life as far as just running an offense. It suited me so well. I think everybody kind of gets into, you've got to get all these five-star and whatever recruits, and for him, you just need to find the right players who can obviously make shots, but who will work hard. And if you find that right group, and not like prima donnas, it could be a very good system."
I guess that's nice but I bet the "whole lot of nothing" quote Butler dropped a few days ago resulted in a sharp thwack on the head and a reminder to never say anything that could be construed as not wildly positive. On the other hand, Huggins is still running Beilein's 1-3-1 regularly. That does seem meaningful.
Might be time for another "eeee" tag. Yes, more David Brandon hype ahoy:
"I don't put a disproportionate amount of emphasis on any one year, but clearly this year was a year we hoped for better and certainly lost a little bit of momentum in terms of our improvement," Brandon said. "But that doesn't detract from my belief that going forward we can regain that momentum, and our program is going to get bigger and better and stronger when we get those practice facilities in, and we do some things that will afford us to be able to recruit a little more aggressively. It's going to help both those programs a lot."
He manages to strike a balance between acknowledging things have been disappointing and offer public support of his coaches in response to the machine-gunned "when can we fire this guy?" questions he appears to field 24/7.
That comes from an article that focuses on the future of the basketball program with a couple of Brandon quotes that give an indication of what the U has planned for Crisler:
"We need wider concourses, we need more restrooms, we need better amenities in terms of food service and service opportunities for our fans," Brandon said. "We need to re-seat the bowl, think differently about the kind of seating that we use and probably put in some kind of club-seating opportunities to give special experiences to people who are willing to take advantage of those.
"Probably come up with a different game plan as to where we put the media and just how we professionalize that arena."
Emphasis mine. That sort of talk would be an anethma about Michigan Stadium—though it is basically undergoing the same process—but is welcome in reference to Crisler, which is what you'd get if you took Joe Louis Arena and turned off half the lights. If Brandon can fulfill his goal of having the broadcaster who declared Crisler one of the worst in the country return to eat crow*, Michigan's facilities renovations will be essentially complete. The last thing to do would be another Yost renovation that brought in video boards and some other things.
*(This has to be Bilas, right? I imagine this happened during one of his many defenses of Tommy Amaker.)
This was a Malcolm in the Middle plot. MVictors has detailed Michigan's tumultuous 1909 on his blog and in HTTV, and now we have a postscript thanks to mgouser and extremely unusual person Alaska Hokie. Michigan QB Joy Miller was the Demar Dorsey of his day, except with academic laziness (the classes: he had none) substituting for juvenile robberies. He was eventually booted from the team and ended up cleaning pots for a horrible woman in Alaska. Or something close to that:
Famous Football Player on the Wolverine Team is Located at Walla Walla Working as Laborer.
Disappeared Months Ago From His Home and All Trace of Him Has Up to the Present Been Lost.
WALLA WALLA, March 19.—James Miller, the famous quarterback of the Michigan team last year, who has been missing from his home for several months, was located in this city yesterday working as a laborer. His mind is a total blank and he is quite unable to recognize his friends. He was elected to the captaincy of the Wolverine team for next season.
The end. It was Washington, but same difference.
Assessing Spartans. Dr. Saturday has struck upon Michigan State in his ongoing series of previews. In doing so he breaks the cardinal law of predicting the Spartans:
Man-for-man, his isn't the most talented offense in the conference, but given the close-to-the-sweatervest approach at Ohio State and widespread inexperience at Penn State, I'd put my money on MSU leading the conference in scoring at a little over 30 points per game. Just like last year, though, part of that will be out of necessity, to overcome the growing pains of a pair of new and/or ineffective cornerbacks, specifically, and a back seven in general that just doesn't have the horses to seriously contend for the conference title or one of the floating BCS slots. Assuming the offensive line holds up, though, the passing game will have a few eye-popping afternoons, and a Gator or Outback Bowl bid likely awaits after a borderline top-25 finish in the neighborhood of 8-4.
That is not within a game or two of .500, which will be its undoing. Spartan .500 gravity is one of the universe's most powerful forces.
Etc.: Devin Gardner is walking around campus in a sling. He's still practicing, though. Canadian hockey writer/broadcaster person Bob McKenzie sent his son to St. Lawrence to play college hockey. The younger McKenzie has just played out his eligibility, causing the elder to post on his experience with college hockey. Browser-crippling version of Inside Michigan Football #3 up.
Unverified Voracity Mesmerizes With Ice Cream
We will carry him through the city of God on a golden palanquin, crying out "oh child of wonder, share with us your one true vision." If you're like me—a shiftless loner who can watch TV during the day and really likes the national soccer team—you no doubt remember the searing vision from last year's Italy-Brazil Confederations Cup matchup. Someone made an animated gif of it.
I know you will never stop watching that, and I'm sorry.
Holy cow. This will mark the second time in a week something interesting has been said by a West Virginia newspaper that had nothing to do with Rich Rodriguez. (Floating an apparently legit rumor that Chuck Heater is a potential Jay Hopson replacement was the other.) Imagine this alternate history as told by Mike Brey:
"Four or five years ago my athletic director called me in for a meeting and told me to be prepared. We're going to the Big Ten," Brey said, so matter-of-factly that you figured everyone knew about it.
But that really wasn't the case.
No one knew that Notre Dame stood on the doorstep of jumping to the Big Ten a few years back. They knew they had the chance to go, that the Big Ten wanted them, but that were close enough that the Irish athletic director was calling coaches in and telling them to prepare for the move, that it was a sure thing … well, can you say Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College.
"It changed at the midnight hour," Brey said, "but he was preparing me for that."
I have no penetrating insights here. Just… wow. This will prompt even more Mike White shrines across ND Nation.
Another departure? Probably not. USF fired Jim Leavitt after he went Woody Hayes on one of his players and then lied about it extensively. This led to a number of articles floating Calvin Magee as a possible replacement, in which he'd "expressed an interest," albeit not publicly.
It looks like South Florida is going another direction, however:
Nothing could be confirmed late Monday, but speculation was heavy that the Bulls could be a match for Holtz, the son of a coaching great who has guided the Pirates to back-to-back Conference USA championships.
That's a non-entity of a statement there, but there's an article in the competing paper that says Holtz has been contacted by USF:
"I have gotten a call to find out if I had interest in talking to them,'' he said. "Obviously, there is interest from a standpoint of the league they play in, the Big East, and my parents live here in Orlando, my wife is from Port Charlotte. We would have four grandparents right there. There are a lot of positives to it. I think it's definitely an up-and-coming program so, yeah, there would be interest.''
It's rare to see a guy with a job make a public statement of interest and not get the gig. Michigan looks like it will hold on to Magee, then.
(HT: Orson as Spencer.)
Midterms. The NHL's Central Scouting Board has released their midterm rankings. Players of note for Michigan:
20. Jon Merrill, D, USA U18
50. Jacob Fallon, F, USA U18
75. Luke Moffatt, F, USA U18
98. Alex Guptill, F, Orangeville (2010 or 2011)
132. Kevin Clare, D, USA U18
170. Derek Deblois, F, Cedar Rapids, USHL (2010 or 2011)
(About Guptill and Deblois: It's uncertain whether or not they'll be on campus next year. They are eligible for this draft and usually that means they'll be on campus the season after they get drafted, but when they committed they were expected to be members of the 2011 class. Robbie Czarnik leaving opens up a spot for one, and it's possible they'll bring the other in early with the money they'd earmarked for (argh) Jack Campbell.)
Items of note other than "argh Jack Campbell": Merrill and Moffatt have dropped, Moffatt considerably. These are just North American skater rankings. Add in Euros and goalies and Merrill projects as a late first or early second rounder, Fallon a third-rounder, and Moffatt somewhere in rounds three to five. Moffatt was getting hyped as a possible top ten pick and a definite first rounder. That might be bad for their instant impact but better for the long term future of the program if they decide to stick around longer. Also a possibility: the CSB rankings, which can be wack, are a little wack.
On the other hand, Fallon keeps moving up and Clare is in a nice sweet spot for a stay-at-home defenseman who will be around for three or four years. The above-listed players and USHL D Mac Bennett are the entire class. Since Bennett went in the second round last year, that's impressive. Every player Michigan is bringing in next year is expected to be or has been drafted, and it seems likely the majority of the class will be off the board when the fourth round rolls around. If it makes you feel any better about this year, no one in State's current class is even on the list.
The timing on this is fantastic. So, yes, John Beilein got an extension after one of the most disappointing losses of his Michigan career, one that finally closed the door on all but the most insane Michigan fan's NCAA tourney hopes. Predictably, people were outraged on the radio. Predictably, Mike Rosenberg rushed to write an article that reads like "a Goofus and Gallant article with Goofus (RR) mostly standing just outside the frame" according to zingy MGoBoard poster wolverine1987.
Assorted e-pinions that, in retrospect, are directed at people who won't listen anyway:
- This was not decided after the season started.
- Yes, obviously David Brandon knew this was happening. Conspiracy theories about Bill Martin dropping a nasty present in Brandon's lap are transparently silly.
- The buyout is the thing that matters and I doubt that it increased significantly, if at all, should Beilein's tenure go the same direction Amaker's did. I think that point is moot—the NCAA bid will buy him enough time to get a full roster of his guys in and his history indicates that he'll be successful enough in the long run that he will likely retire a Wolverine. If it's not, though, a few hundred K here or there is not going to prevent Michigan from making a move.
- Short of massacring an entire village of Vietnamese peasants, Beilein is here for a long time, extension or no.
Etc.: Rivals recognizes the Big Ten's bowl season as basically on par with the SEC's and far better than anyone else's. CMU hires Michigan State assistant Dan Enos; Enos is regarded as Dantonio's primary recruiter guy. Should be some small help with in-state recruiting. Charles Woodson, your NFL defensive player of the year, extensively profiled by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Unverified Voracity Is Distorted For Fun
Baseball draftin'. While the Major League Baseball draft isn't a major concern for anyone currently on the team—only Chris Fetter is expected to get drafted, and he's a senior—there are a couple of recruits who will be watching carefully to see where they go:
Derek Dennis, a shortstop from Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central High School, Daniel Fields, an infielder from University of Detroit Jesuit, and Patrick Biondi, a Dearborn Divine Child outfielder, are all potential early-round draft prospects.
Maloney said Baseball America projects Dennis as a third- or fourth-round pick and Fields as a fifth- or sixth-round pick.
Dennis, Baseball America's #6 high school shortstop, appears to be leaning towards school. Varsity Blue highlights a Grand Rapids Press article and sums up:
Michigan is close to signing Forest Hills shortstop Derek Dennis. Dennis visited this last week, talked with Coach Maloney, Lloyd Carr, John Beilien, and Red Berenson to discuss the benefits of college. The GRP makes it sound like if he's not taken in the top 3 rounds, he will forgo signing and come to Michigan. This may bode well, as if a team suspects he may not sign, he may get drafted even lower, increasing his odds of coming to Ann Arbor.
Dennis did not go yesterday, when rounds 1-3 were held. Fields, meanwhile, was the subject of an ESPNRise article in May that contains only this about the probability he'll end up on campus:
"He's got the combination of speed and potential power that a lot of people covet," says his father. "The power has to be more consistent, and I think it will be. To me, he's a potential five-tool player."
"He's the whole package," adds Fernandez.
MLB scouts will likely come out in droves this spring to watch Fields, who knows he has another great option -- his scholarship to Michigan -- in case the draft doesn't work out.
I didn't find anything on Biondi.
Zonin' it. Florida State, now possessors of former Rodriguez offensive line coach Rick Trickett, is something of a funhouse mirror via which we can discern things in the Michigan program. Trickett's installed the same sort of zone blocking Michigan has, and this has led to a fantastic post at Tomahawk Nation about the system. My favorite bits are the ones where TN transcribes a video of Alex Gibbs, the longtime Broncos guru and a guy who had major influence on zone running games across the country, including the spread 'n' shred:
Above all, we want guys who want play so bad they could die. We want guys who can run, who are athletic, who have "recoverability", but who maybe lacks bulk and strength. Maybe doesn't know what his body is about yet. We want guys who are going to take advantage of that redshirt year.
TACKLES: Tall, length, maybe no basic strength, but he can run, and we're willing to let him add that power. 6'5 1/2" is usually the max we want.
GUARDS & CENTERS: height and length doesn't mean ****. Marginal height, but plays with great leverage. "LOW WAISTED" (long torso short legs), with leverage under our bodies. Healthier by not being heavy. RARE for them to play early. Nobody over 6'3". My center must be football brilliant.
Very intelligent on the inside. The "test score limit would SCARE YOU."
In here you see the initial seeds of Molk, Omameh, and Huyge's successes, plus the coaching staff's out-and-out glee at picking up 6'3" Quinton Washington. You can also see why maybe Dann O'Neill was buried and why Mr. Plow said "screw you guys, I'm going home." Also of interest: that Christian Pace AMP interview where he came off like a future engineer.
Also note Florida State's heir apparent at running back, Jermaine Thomas. Thomas was a nondescript three-star—though ESPN made googly eyes—with but two major offers (Florida State and LSU). All he did last year was this:
And that's not especially cherry-picked runs against I-AA teams, either: take out Thomas's 18 carries against them and his average drops, sure, but only to 6.2 YPC. His highlight video is strikingly reminiscent of someone you might be familiar with:
That guy is a smaller, possibly faster, version of Brandon Minor down to the upright running style. One cut. Go. Also, check out how many of Thomas' big runs here are outside zones that get, you know, outside. I don't think I saw Michigan pull this off at any point last year. I specifically remember posting UFRs that openly questioned why the fullback always shot outside of a tackle who was getting shoved back to the point where the tailback had no choice but to turn it up between said tackle and Molk's generally-effective reach block. Since I never saw anyone actually get outside the tackle, it seemed like a waste.
I wonder what caused that. There are a number of possibilities:
- The tackles weren't that good.
- Molk's youth and lack of strength made it tough for him to anchor and dangerous for the tackle to hold his ground lest the holes evaporate entirely.
- Opposing teams, confident in their ability to avoid second-level blocks from Michigan's ponderous guards, sold out to stop players from getting outside.
The answer was probably some mix of the three.
Say what? Tennessee blogs are casting about, looking for ways to explain the flood of secondary violations that have descended upon the program since Lane Kiffin was hired. Bruce Feldman helps out:
Truth is, almost every program has at least a dozen secondary violations a year. Until recently, they almost never made news.
Uh… maybe if Feldman is talking about entire athletic departments, and even that's a stretch. To suggest the Keystone Kiffins are anywhere near an NCAA median—or even under it—is wrong:
Of the 21 NCAA recruiting violations committed by Big Ten schools during the 2007-08 year, Ohio State committed more than half with 13.
Big Ten teams not named Ohio State averaged 0.8 secondary recruiting violations last year… for their entire athletic department. Even violation-happy Ohio State had only four fey self-applied wrist taps given to the football team, which is two fewer than Tennessee has racked up in six months.
How much does this matter? In no way whatsoever, apparently. But let's not pretend that this is some sort of media explosion over nothing*: Kiffin is racking up secondary violations at a rapid pace, and the reason they're so much more visible than the others are is that other secondary violations are things like "accidentally talked to recruit on Shrove Tuesday." Kiffin's blunders are far stupider, and far more public.
*(WE GET IT, Clay Travis. The SEC is going to dominate everything forever and everything that happens is evidence of this.)
Holy pants. Yost Built relays word that Michigan's disgusting 2010 hockey recruiting class looks to get disgustinger in the near future:
Mike Spath posted that Lucas Lessio, a first-round pick in the OHL Draft, may become a Wolverine. He would then play at St. Mike's (The school that produced Caporusso, Cogliano, and Burlon) next season. His source told him that Lessio would be the best player to come to Michigan out of Ontario in the last decade (which includes the names listed above as well as Mike Cammalleri). Lofty praise. He's been compared to Rick Nash in the past, according to that thread.
Holy hotpants. Please get to campus, everyone.
Tim also has a complaint about the home schedule, which finishes up with a Thursday night game against new power Notre Dame, but a commenter corrects him:
Spring break doesn't start until Feb. 27 or something like that next year, so thankfully students will actually get to be there for senior day. I'm assuming that is part of the reason why the game is on a Thursday.
If so, this is a fantastic move by the AD. Most previous senior days have been over breaks, which has been an enormous missed opportunity. Having a full-fledged home crowd for what could be a CCHA-title deciding game also seems like a good idea.
It will continue. Michigan's basketball scheduling looks like it will remain shiny as long as Beilein's around:
"When you have a situation like we're in right now when you have an (experienced) team coming back, I wanted to get my arms around this thing," coach John Beilein said. "We wanted to have enough games so we can have enough games in this (Crisler) arena. At the same time, when you've got a team coming off the NCAA tournament and a lot of people back, that's the time to go after it."
Adding Kansas to the mix may be the most intriguing element.
"I always would like to have one really marquee big-time team coming here," Beilein said.
Etc.: Nick Montana commits to… Washington? What? Some flashy Darius Morris highlights at UMHoops.

Market Preview: A Rally on Fumes
Updated from 5:12 p.m. ET to include latest share price for Xyratex and news on Intermune.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --The final calendar quarter of 2012 has begun and there's some worries setting in that stocks may not have much more oomph left to move higher.
Venerable market watcher Ed Yardeni opined earlier Tuesday that the S&P 500 may not be able to get much more mileage out of the Federal Reserve's pledge of unending easing.
"Whether he [Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke] is right or wrong about the stock market as a transmission mechanism between QE and the economy, no one can deny that the 'Bernanke Put' has contributed greatly to the bull market," he said in emailed commentary. "The question is whether the law of diminishing returns might be setting in already. A case can be made that the S&P 500 peaked for the year at 1465 on September 14, the day after the FOMC voted to implement QE3."While Yardeni gives Bernanke credit for stock prices doing so well, he's much less enthused with the impact the central bank's efforts have had on the economy, calling the recovery since the financial crisis "woefully unimpressive." And he doesn't think the central bank has anything left in the toolbox to make investors feel better about the fiscal cliff. "There certainly isn't much more the Fed can do over the rest of the year even though investors are likely to get increasingly jittery about the coming fiscal cliff," he said. "Recent data on factory orders and personal income and consumption suggest that concerns about the cliff are already depressing business and consumer spending." Meantime, Wells Fargo chief macro strategist Gary Thayer highlighted Wednesday night's presidential debate as a potential market mover later this week. "Investors will be watching the upcoming presidential debates to determine which political party is more likely to control Congress and enact policies to avoid the fiscal cliff," he added. "If one party appears to be doing better than the other the uncertainty over the fiscal cliff could diminish. The biggest risk would be if there is a political stalemate preventing Congress from taking action. When election uncertainty diminishes, investors are likely to look beyond the election and focus on prospects for economic growth in 2013." The debate will surely color trading on Thursday, especially if Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney can win the day. The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed the incumbent President Barack Obama is still ahead, 49% to 46%, but that's narrower than the advantage of five percentage points that Obama enjoyed coming out of the party conventions last month.

Creighton takes home honors
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. The Creighton Volleyball team was honored today with the MVC Coach of the Year, Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year a pre-tournament awards banquet at the 2012 Missouri Valley Conference Volleyball Tournament in Springfield, Mo., earlier on Thursday.
In all, six women were honored, highlighted by the selection of Kirsten Bernthal Booth as the league's top coach, senior Megan Bober as the league's top player, and sophomore Kelli Browning as the league's top defensive player. The awards are determined by a vote of league coaches.
Booth is in her 10th season at the helm of the Bluejay program and is the first Creighton coach named MVC Coach of the Year since Howard Wallace shared the honor in 1997. Booth inherited a 3-23 program in 2003 and has steadily built Creighton into a league power, as her team picked up its first MVC title in program history and national ranking this year. Booth owns a career mark of 184-118 at Creighton, making her the winningest coach in program history.
Bober becomes Creighton's first volleyball player to ever earn MVC Player of the Year accolades. The setter from Murdock, Neb., is the nation's only player to average 9.50 assists, 1.50 kills and 0.90 blocks per set this season. She owns six triple-doubles, giving her 15 in her career, and is the team's active career leader in assists, digs, blocks, aces, kills and points. Bober was also named a First Team All-MVC selection for the third straight season, joining Korie Lebeda and Melissa Walsh as the only Bluejays to earn the honor three times.
Browning becomes the second player in Creighton history to be named MVC Defensive Player of the Year, joining Jessica Houts (2008). Browning leads the MVC in blocks per set (1.68), a figure that ranks her fourth nationally. The Waukesha, Wis., product is also second in the MVC in hitting percentage this season (.381). Browning owns five kill/block double-doubles more than the rest of the MVC combined and has set Creighton single-season records for total blocks and bock assists in a season. Browning was one of three Creighton women named First Team All-Valley, as well.
Melanie Jereb earned First Team All-MVC honors, making her the first freshman in school history to be earn such recognition. Jereb averaged 2.42 kills and 2.78 digs per set while also owning 0.65 blocks per set. The Cary, Ill., native has had 10 or more kills in all six matches vs. league powers Northern Iowa, Missouri State and Wichita State, and had seven double-doubles in league play this fall. Jereb also landed a spot on the MVC's All-Freshman Team.
Joining Jereb on the MVC's All-Freshman Team is Omaha native Kate Elman. Elman has played every match as Creighton's libero and already owns the school-record for digs by a freshman with 564. Elman owns 10 or more digs in all 29 matches to date, and also tops the Bluejays with 28 aces.
Leah McNary, an MVC All-Freshman Team selection a year ago, earned a place as a Second Team All-MVC pick as a sophomore. The Tarpon Springs, Fla., native leads Creighton with 322 kills and 2.93 kills per set. She owns three different matches with 20 or more kills, including a career-best 23 in CU's 3-2 win at Missouri State last Saturday.

To promote artistic experimentation, encourage the crossover of disciplinary expressions and explore every possible combination of art, technology and design -while blurring the boundaries between them- the 2012 edition of the Faena Prize called upon artists and art collectives from all over the world to submit projects for installations, sculptures, pictures, technology and audio.
Coordinated by Ximena Caminos the international jury select of 837 submissions for this year's edition, the winner: Argentinian artist Franco Darío Vico.
40% of the projects were from Argentina, with the rest came from over 40 countries, including the USA, Italy, Germany, Spain, Colombia, the UK, Chile, Brazil, Mexico and the Netherlands.
"We have chosen Vairoletto Foundation by Franco Darío Vico as the winning submission of the 2012 Faena Prize for the Arts edition. The proposal, whose freshness and defiance of convention we found interesting, is based on a little-known character from Argentinian history: "Juan Bautista Bairoletto" a bandit operating in Santa Fe Province in the early twentieth century. He was described as the "Robin Hood of the Pampas" because of his solidarity with the poor and his anarchic attitude to official hierarchies and institutions. Our recognition of Vico's work was prompted by the challenging of institutions as well as the artist's rejection of the grand sculptural gesture supposedly called for by the FAC's space.
The choice was also informed by the way he turned the prize into a political funding reallocation exercise. We have selected a project that subverts the privileged position of the arts in contemporary society and expands, thoughtfully and in a spirit of celebration, the very definition of artistic practice," said the Jury.
A native of Santa Fe Province, Argentina, Franco Darío Vico will receive a total of $75,000. Of that sum, $25,000 will go to the artist himself, and the remaining $50,000 will be used to finance the project's production. The final result will be exhibited at the Faena Arts Center in mid-2013.
