About The Alameda County Sheriff's Office
The Alameda County Sheriff's Office is a full-service law enforcement agency accredited through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and the American Correctional Association (ACA). Additionally, the agency's health care provider, Prison Health Services, has dual accreditation through the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) and the California Medical Association (CMA).

The Sheriff's Office Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit has also been awarded national accreditation through the Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board.

Positions in this class are unique to the Youth and Family Services Bureau of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office. Incumbents are participants in a part-time or short-term internship program conducted in accordance with California Board of Behavioral Science regulations governing the training of Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) Interns.

Additionally, incumbents in the latter class must have met California Board of Behavioral Science educational requirements for MFT licensure, whereas incumbents in the former class may still be enrolled in the Master's degree program required for that purpose. A Youth and Family Services Therapist I does not flex to the Youth and Family Services Therapist II level once they have received Board Licensure as a Marriage and Family Services Therapist.

3. Receive individual clinical supervision, evaluation and mentoring from a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
4. Document the hours providing clinical care.

This article examines literature that provides evidence about the safety of mobilizing hospitalized adults. A search of electronic databases and hand searches yielded 24 studies that were included in the review. Evidence of mobilization safety was found in 4 clinical settings (medical, surgical, cardiac procedure, and intensive care), and the findings from these studies suggest that early mobilization of hospitalized adults is safe.

I am not originally from Cincinnnati and when I first moved here I would spend afternoons getting to know the city and found myself wondering the art museum from time to time. it is such a beautiful and peaceful place! Having lunch out in the courtyard is wonderful. I knew as soon as my now husband asked me to marry him that it would be the perfect place for our wedding....and it was! Guests still compliment us on how beautiful our venue was. The staff was great leading up to the wedding but could have been better the night of the wedding...had a few things not done as previously discussed but overall it was amazing! I recomend visiting the museum one afternoon....great place!

Publishers Weekly
In his first solo outing, Mack (illustrator of the Bunnicula series) sends an eager-looking polar bear on a series of dreamtime adventures: "Swim through a waterfall./ Splash in a stream./ Paddle past rainbows/ that glisten and gleam." Big, rounded shapes and pastel-tinted spreads encourage calm, while rhythmic verses describe action. The polar bear looks like a real cub; the ending reveals him (her) as a stuffed animal snuggled in the arms of the girl who, presumably, is the narrator. She's right behind the polar bear in every spread, watching over him; in Mack's cheerful, fuzzy acrylic paintings, they travel across the ocean, through a rain forest, a desert, and up into the sky before ending safely in bed. "Then look right beside you,/ and that's where I'll be," she promises the bear. Giving the child character the speaking rather than the listening part neatly reverses lullaby convention. Ages 2-6.

Comments about All-Terrain T/A KO2:
First impressions:
excellent tire, definitely an improvement on the original KO. My previous set wore out at the perfect time in order to get these. Right after leaving the shop, we had 3" of fresh snow on the road, so I put them to the test.
They stop great, ABS barely kicked on with medium brake pressure. They track great, was doing 60 with confidence. The rear end barely swung out around the corners at about 40-45mph.
Great traction with them. Light acceleration, they didn't slip at all. More throttle they started to spin a little, but I could still feel the truck accelerating (in 2wd!). in 4wd they didn't slip at all unless I really hit it.
They also look great, love the new sidewall look. Needed moderate amount of weight to balance, nothing extreme. Quiet on bare pavement, couldn't tell a difference from the old set. Only had one hiccup, the distribution warehouse originally sent 3 KO2's and 1KO, it seems like they mixed them up as they look pretty similar. They sent a replacement within two days though to my local shop so I could get them on.

Comments about All-Terrain T/A KO2:
Yes I'm from Minnesota and all I got to say is impressive. I only have 2 285/75 r16 on the rear of my 1999 silverado 4wd and through ice and snow it is impressive. It's better then my Geolander ats-2. I try swinging the rear end of my truck loose and it just so hard for it to break traction and spin around.....this is on packed snow and ice. On snow it's like driving on pavement. On regular street it feels as normal as any tire base on my opinion. All I got to say is awesome BFGOODRICH you guys did an excellent job on this one.....it's going to be hard to come up with something better now. I also love the aggressive look of these tires. If your still wondering if you should buy this....... just get it.... I won't be wasting my time on here writing a review if I didn't love this tire that much.
Best Uses
Comments about All-Terrain T/A KO2:
Just put these on my new crew cab 4wd Silverado. Good interstate feel but I bought them for off road in national parks etc. and for snow and ice driving. I am retired and travel cross country for enjoyment. I need tires to meets a road warrior demands. Highway, rock trails, mud logging roads, dirt and gravel roads, as well snow and ice in the mountains ranges and high plains. This new tire gives me the strength and durability I want while maintaining good highway feel.

According to the study, the average American youngster now spends practically every waking minute, except for time in school, using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device. Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not include the hour and a half that is spent texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cell phones.
And since most are youngsters are multitasking and surfing the Internet while listening to music or texting while online, they manage to pack nearly 11 hours of combined media content into that seven and a half hours.
The study's findings shocked its authors, who had concluded in 2005 that use could not possibly grow further. It also confirmed the fears of many parents whose children are constantly tethered to these media devices. It found, moreover, that heavy media use is associated with several negatives, including behavior problems and lower grades.
The recent study revealed that media consumption has grown far more in the last five years than it did from 1999 to 2004. The increase is believed to be due to sophisticated mobile 'smart phone' technology and portable, electronic devices such as iPods and video downloads which allow teens to access media in their pocket or beds. Youths now report spending more time listening to or watching media on their cell phones, or playing games, than talking on them. In less than a decade, cell phones have morphed from a communications tool to an entertainment device.
Additionally, electronics are available to the kids 24/7, as one child explained, "At night, I can text or watch something on You Tube until I fall asleep. It lets me talk on the phone and watch a video at the same time, or listen to music while I send text messages. I also use it as an alarm clock since it has a really annoying, ring tone!"

Standardized for 15% Oleuropein Nature's Herbs Olive Leaf-Extract offers all the naturally-balanced active principles while retaining and enhancing all the whole-plant synergistic benefits, thus making it not only one of the world's finest and purest extracts, but also faster-acting and more assimilable than unconcentrated Olive Leaf powder. Olive LeafParts Used and Where GrownOlive is a small evergreen tree native to Mediterranean regions. The characteristic green to blue-black fruit of this tree yields a useful, edible oil. Both the oil and the dried green-grayish colored leaves are used medicinally. Historical or Traditional UseThe olive tree has been held in high esteem throughout history. Moses reportedly decreed that men who cultivated the leaf be exempt from serving in the army. The oil is symbolic of purity and goodness, while the olive branch represents peace and prosperity. Winners in the Greek Olympic games were crowned with a wreath of olive leaves. Historically, medicinal use of olive leaf has been for treatment of fevers and for the topical treatment of wounds or infection. As a poultice, it was also used by herbalists to treat skin rashes and boils. About Nature's HerbsTheir RootsTwinlab was created in 1968 when founder David Blechman leveraged his 20 years of expertise in the pharmaceutical industry to develop and market a liquid protein supplement. Working out of his family's garage, he and his wife named their developing business Twinlab, after the couple's two sets of twins. Sales soared, and in the 1980s, Twinlab branched out to a broader range of vitamins, minerals, herbs and teas. TodaySince 1968, the Twinlab brand has been the trusted leader for innovative, high performance health and wellness products. In addition to the extensive line of vitamins, minerals and sports nutrition formulas of its namesake brand, Twinlab Corporation also manufactures and sells other category leaders, including the Metabolife line of diet and energy products; Alvita teas, established in 1922 as one of the country's first herbal tea lines, and Nature's Herbs, a complete line of herbals and phytonutrients. Twinlab's plant in American Fork, UT, is a NSF GMP registered facility from which we manufacture, package and distribute over 1,000 premium quality products. The NSF program verifies that Twinlab's manufacturing plant has met NSF International's stringent independent certification process guidelines, which include facilities and manufacturing process inspections and reviews to assure compliance with NSF's rigorous banned substances standards. Facilities certified by NSF conform to the highest consensus standards, and ongoing monitoring, including two annual facility inspections, to ensure continued compliance with program requirements. Twinlab also operates a Research & Development facility in Grand Rapids, MI, and has its corporate headquarters in New York, NY. Twinlab products are currently available in over 55 countries worldwide.

Cheers guys
I felt like a batch of my crabapple/fuji blend cider was a little too weak on flavor and I was going to add some frozen juice concentrate (thawed) to get some apple flavor back into the batch. The store only had one option, the store brand. It stated that it could include juice from China and/or Argentina. What?! So, I went to the juice aisle and picked up a jug of Murray's Cider. It's filtered and pasteurized, it's 100% juice from whole apples and bottled in Roanoke, Virginia...and it comes in a 1/2 gallon glass carboy! Win-win!!! And Murray's has been around a loooong time.

Outside of Beverly Hills and New York, you usually don't see a celebrity on a wedding day. But Callie and Colby invited one of New Orleans' very favorite stars for theirs: Gumbo, the loveable Saints mascot and mutt. And Gumbo broke it down with some of his best moves.

Danny + Liz's Wedding Day
Elizabeth and Daniel got married on a bright Saturday afternoon at the Maison Lafitte on the Northshore, and it couldn't have gone better..
They decked the venue out with games, a photo booth and a lovely outdoor ceremony. By the time the sun tucked underneath the lake, everyone was exhausted, overwhelmed and overjoyed.
A great day, I'd say.
Very special thanks to Secondline Photography for all their help in shooting!
Chris + Tina's Wedding Teaser
First looks are one of my very favorite things, so when Chris and Tina approached me to shoot their wedding day, I was naturally pumped. This would be the first time they saw each other all dolled up before becoming husband and wife.
These two -- as they are wont to do -- made the most of that moment. Even after being together for more than seven years, just the sight of each other was enough to plaster huge smiles on their faces.
Now, if you thought this was special, wait til you see the rest of the day...

Mikey + Claire
I was pumped when Claire and Mikey approached me to shoot their engagement photos. I knew they'd bring a lot of energy and fun to the shoot, and they did not disappoint. They claimed they were a little nervous, but just take a look. You really couldn't tell.
Our trip took us from Audubon Park in all its glorious green-ness and then over to the lakefront to close out one fun afternoon. Mother Nature was kind enough to gift us some beautiful light.
I can't wait to see what they have in store for their wedding day.
Dining at Mosca's Restaurant
Mosca's Restaurant is a decidedly old school restaurant with family-sized servings and an authentic Italian style.
But most importantly, it's tasty. Really, really tasty.
On the menu tonight -- Shrimp Mosca, Oyster Mosca and Chicken a La Grande. Three signature dishes that taste as good as they look.
Click here to learn more about Mosca's. It's a decent ride, but it's every bit worth it.
Kyle and Ashley
Threat of rain never hurt anybody!
Kyle and Ashley joined me for a trip through Gentilly and City Park to snap some pictures for their engagement -- congrats!! -- and though a big blob of clouds followed us around, these two still managed to look fantastic.
Here's to hoping a trip to Hangout Fest next weekend sees more sun!

Google Glass Gets Universal Search: News, Video, Sound Results & More
Google is giving Glass a taste of universal search results.
The latest software update for Google Glass is out, and this one offers a significant expansion of the device's search capabilities.
Google sends out one major software update to Glass owners each month. The latest is known as XE9 (XE stands for Explorer Edition, the first version of Google Glass) and it's a step toward bringing "universal search" results to Google's head-mounted mobile device. As explained below, Glass now shows news, videos and even sound matches in its search results. It also offers new Google Now predictive search cards, and saves Glass-generated searches to Google Search History.
Here's a look at all of the search-related features in the latest Glass software update:
News Search
Google has added news search results when the search query involves a newsworthy topic. I tested it Monday by saying "syria," and the first three results were all recent news articles.
After those first three, the Glass search results switched to a couple Wikipedia links, then showed several cards with Knowledge Graph facts about the country and finally included topic pages about Syria from the likes of Reuters, The Guardian and The New York Times.
Video Search Results
If you specify in the search query that you're looking for videos, Glass will restrict the search results to pages with videos — and not just YouTube pages/videos.
My example search was "make guacamole video." The first three results came from YouTube, but then I got a video page from AllRecipes.com, a video page from About.com and a page from AvocadoCentral.com that had a YouTube video embedded.
For what it's worth, this is almost an exact copy of the How Do I… app that we wrote about recently on Marketing Land. That Glass app — developed by our news editor Barry Schwartz and his team at RustyBrick — takes searches that start with "How do I" and finds matching YouTube videos.
Sound Search
Think Shazam. That's what Glass can do now. If a song is playing, a voice search for "what song is this" will get Glass started on an attempt to identify the song and artist. (The search can also be done with the touchpad.)
In my testing, sound search worked pretty well. It wasn't able to identify a live song from The Killers' Live From The Royal Albert Hall album, but it did recognize a song from Reamonn, a fairly obscure rock band based in Germany. (Note: Shazam had the same fail and success on these two songs.)
More Google Now Cards
The Google Now integration in Glass has expanded with cards for nearby attractions and photo opportunities, transit, and reminders.
I haven't seen any of these yet, but the attractions and photo cards sound similar to — and possibly sourced from — Google's Field Trip app for Glass.
Search History
The final search-related update is the addition of Glass-based searches to the user's Google search history. And Google says that deleting a search card on Glass will also delete it from search history.
Those are just the search-related updates. For other Glass software changes, see our Marketing Land article, With XE9 Update, Google Glass Gets Remote Control, Google Apps Support & More.

Art Lesson: Whimsical Ceramic Tea Pots
Whimsical Ceramic Tea Pots
Submitted by: Judie Jacobs, Holy Innocents' Episcopal School
Objectives: Students will
Click images for larger views
Earthenware Clay (or Amaco Buff Clay or Stoneware Clay)
Functional - traditional - Glazing - Underglazes - Additive - subtractive - Slab/draped slab - pinch - coil - contemporary
500 Teapots: Contemporary Explorations - From hand-built to wheel-thrown, functional to sculptural, traditional to funky, there's a bit of everything in this artistic celebration. Some find inspiration in classic Asian designs or a figurative approach.
The Eccentric Teapot: Four Hundred Years of Invention - This book celebrates some of the more sublime, outrageous & exotic teapots. Both comfortingly familiar & utterly peculiar, this fanciful, provocative & intriguing gallery includes portrait pots of Brooke Shields & Queen Elizabeth.
Procedures: (Note: It is assumed students already know the basic hand-building techniques for this lesson. Middle School students make needed demonstrations)
Copyright Extension: Discuss copyright with students. The idea of a sculptural teapot can not be copyrighted nor can the idea of a teapot shaped like a house be copyrighted. Look at the various teapots found online. Sketch one that gives you the most inspiration (or save image to file - check site's "Fair Use"/copyright policy). Save the artist's name, title of teapot and date. Continue then with your own ideas. At the end of the project, share both the finished work and the source of inspiration. Decide as a class if the new creation is unique enough to be copyrighted. Decide as a class if the new work infringes on another artist's copyright. In general items of craft can not be copyrighted - only what that artist does that is unique. Utilitarian objects may be patented - if there is something new that is developed. Encourage students as they work to date their new ideas (for instance, once one student decided to do a baseball, that idea was taken and another could not use it for this particular lesson). Date each new idea that is added (keeping track in Sketchbooks) then at the end of the class period, see if any other classmates can claim copyright infringement. (Note: in the classroom setting, generally there is a sharing of ideas freely - that doesn't always work in the "real world"). Encourage students to sign and date their finished work. You may want them to make their own logo stamp to mark their work. This can be stamped down towards the base or on the bottom.

Teacher's Comments:
Christa Wise was a winner of the Fulbright Memorial Scholarship to Japan. This is one of the lessons she developed to share her experiences with her students. Adapt lesson plan above. Many Art Ed List members have been awarded this opportunity.
The 3-D Studio class worked on teapots. We started the assignment by making tea. I put out Styrofoam cups, teabags, an electric hot pot for water, wooden stirring sticks, paper napkins, and packets of sugar. Students arriving to class were surprised to be able to gather around and make tea and for the first five minutes, class was very lively. Once everyone had their tea, I explained that practically everything they had done was antithetical to the Japanese Tea Ceremony. I read a story about a visit to a teahouse. We talked about the reverence for the experience and how all of the tea implements were very special. I shared some examples of teapots, cups, whisks, and had them all taste powdered tea. I think this lesson was very effective because of the contrast of our casual experience to the formality and meaning in the tea ceremony. I gave the assignment to make teapot with the option to complete additional pieces like teacups, a sugar bowl, and a cream pitcher.
Curiously, once one class saw these teapots, other classes working in clay begged to make teapots as well. This semester, all five classes working in clay had students working on Japanese-inspired teapots that began with a very atypical tea ceremony.
Here is an example of a teapot made by one of the students. It is based on a fairy tale about a Chinese fisherman and a large fish that gives him three wishes if he will save the fish's life. While the story is not Japanese, I think the image was inspired by this student's limited perception of Japan. I think the fish and water images were inspired by some of the Japanese prints I had on display on the walls. Using the boat as a handle for the lid of the pot seems to a particularly effective technique. The other example is also a narrative piece.

ESPN: The team of Big Ego Jon and Nice Guy Tiriko almost puts me to sleep during the Monday Night Football games. I liked Jaws, but anyone that's added to the current team would be an improvement to what you have now. Gruden is very knowledgable regarding his football, but very, very boring to listen to. I don't want to learn all about the ins and outs of the art of Football. I want to enjoy the whole experience of viewing Monday Night Football, I want to laugh a bit, be amazed by facts about the players and the football world in general. I don't want to learn anything about being a Coach. I don't want to go through a test about the intricacies of running a football team. We know that Gruden is an Ego Hot Shot and a fine coach but seems to be constantly in need of impressing the world of his FootBall IQ., plus it seems that he takes so long to make whatever point that he's attempting to make....zzzz, oh, sorry. So remember, Howard Cossell always had 2 sidekicks..they were smart.........by George
NFL Rumors: Could Jon Gruden Accept Tennessee Volunteers Job And Still Get Paid By Cleveland Browns?
Originally written on thepigskinreport.com | Last updated 11/17/14
Jon Gruden is a very good football coach. But as good as he is, even Chucky can't coach two teams at once. Yet how is it that he accept one job and still get paid by another team at the same time? Ask the University of Tennessee Volunteers and Cleveland Browns. This one is still just a rumor, but take a look at how this could work. Reportedly, Gruden has received an offer from Tennessee to coach the Volunteers college football team. No financial terms of the deal have been released, but Gruden is at least weighing his options before deciding whether or not he will return to ESPN as a commentator and analyst past this season. But while he could head to the college football ranks and join the Vols, could he still get paid by the Browns of the NFL at the same time? While the Browns have come out in denial, there have been rumors that Browns' new owner Jimmy Haslam – who is a Tennessee grad as well as a big booster – would give Gruden a stake in Cleveland's ownership if he were to accep...

We should be able to vote even though you are not considered an adult. We should be able to elect who we want to be our president and not just let adults decide it because it is unfair if we don't argue with the ideas of the new president we should have a saying of who to vote for for yourself,
The twenty sixth amendment of the U.S. constitution states that "The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."This is pretty much saying that you must be 18 or older to vote, but will the voting age ever be lowered?The minimum to vote is 18 and it has been that way for a long time, its time for a change.The age to vote should be lowered to 13 years and older.First 13 should be the voting age because being 18 doesn't necessarily mean that you're mature, it just means that the person is almost all grown up. Also when a person grows up they're brain actually shrinks believe it or not,But at the age of thirteen our brain is 3/4 of the way done being grown.
People always say that teens are immature and stupid, but there are good young people in the world that want to get rights and a say in what goes on in America. Adolescence is in between the ages 13-18 and that is finally the time teens get some sense knocked into your brain. I'm saying that because it's the time in life when we have to step up and make wiser decisions.
Teens are as much part of our country as adults are, we should not disrespect them and treat them like they are nothing. The youths of our country are very important and should have a say in how the country is run as they have to live in it to. They are much cleverer than we give them credit for and understand a great deal more than we did at that age. I think that we need to understand how times have changed and how, with that, the people and topics being taught have changed too.
Teens should be able to vote because they could learn from it, how are they supposed learn about their country when they cant even vote. Kids need to be able to learn so that they can make the right choices when they are put into this big world. Thank you
If the children are our future we should let them chose who and how to vote, it doesn't matter how old they are it matters who to believe in. I think children should vote at the age of 13,anyhow they should have a say in their future and the right to speak! The adults think were so ignorant and don't care but the ones who are ignorant and do care should be able to vote. Let teens make the right choice!
Your parents already say that you cant do this and that; but you should have the right in voting. Because whats the point in life if you cant make any decisions by your self not a world that i like living in but that's me i don't know about you.
I've looked at a lot of the different debate websites about this subject. And something I found t all of them was that all the people 13 and older are saying that 13 year old's (and younger) don't have the education in politics to vote. Why is that? Because the adults haven't made the decision to teach about politics in school. We're being taught by our parents, who teach us their own view, not the other parties. We need the education.
The kids in our country are the future, and being the future of a country means you have to actually participate in elections and other things. I'm feeling kind of suppressed, not having a say in any of the laws that dictate what happen in schools, or governors that just take more money away from schools. I can understand that we're under educated about this, but if we get the right to vote we'll have more incentive to learn about it.
Teens are able to express themselves and also that can share their opinion for once on who should be the President. Eagerness is a huge role in this argument because teens are so eager to vote. Teens are so eager that they might petition if they choose too. They deserve a chance at voting. So come on and change it!
Have you ever wondered that voting age should or should not be lowered to age 13? Many teenagers really wish that to occur but there are a few reasons why the government and parents haven't allowed it to occur yet. Kids who are thirteen through eighteen year olds are all immature. Their brains haven't developed enough yet. When thirteen to eighteen year olds are the cause of accidents why should they vote at all? They are very eager and that eagerness can cause a huge destruction to the world. Kids should wait until they are old enough. The more they want to the more they will make problems for the world.
Being 15 years old I have little to no knowledge on elections and government. The only reason I am a republican is because my parents. Its just how I was taught and raised. I'm sure the same goes for teenagers across the nation. Especially down here in the south where I am, political views run deep through heritage.
I'm 16 years old, I'm 2 years away from voting. I am taking politic classes and learning about how our government runs and how the congress men run it. Unfortunately not this isn't a manditiory class, there are many and many uneducated voters screwing up the country. Granted they have the right to vote, lowering the voting age will only invited more uneducated voters into the system.
Were just in middle school. Were too young and I have not a clue about what politics are. I think the government is so stupid. 18 is a perfect age to vote it means were now mature and grown up. Personally I'm not going to vote that's too much work and I don't what the government is. SARAH WAS HERE

You are in the middle of middle school, and you for sure don't know EVERYTHING about politics. I am 15, and I barely know about politics. I think that it should be changed to 20 because I feel at 20, you are slightly more mature then you were at 18.
How could someone even debate on this ? Especially when half of the 18 year olds that can vote still are not mature enough { no hate towards anyone. } Quite honestly at that age they're not mature enough nor would many of them want to take on that responsibility. I don't think this should even be a question. 100% no
I personally think 13 year olds should not be able to vote. I am thirteen myself, and know for a fact that I would not be able to make the right decision. Voting is a big deal, it predicts our future president and many people can be influenced by the wrong things such as appearance or race, which is unfair. I just don't think 13 year olds would have the brains to make the right decision on their own.
Teens from ages 13 - 18 one of the biggest causes of death is accidents because they not mature enough. Their brains aren't fully developed. I'm 13 and I know nothing about politics, it would be bit overwhelming for me to vote and I don't really think the government is going to lower the voting age.
Allowing thirteen year-olds to vote would flood our government with their parent's beliefs. A child is taught by his or her parents. Therefore, if the parent is Democratic, the child, having grown up with the notion that the superior party is Democratic, will vote for the democratic candidate. The same goes to Republican families. At the age of thirteen, you are not usually who you are when you grow up. Keeping the voting age at eighteen ensures that our nation will have a national voice, not children's opinions.

|I'll preface this by saying
I'll preface this by saying that I'm not getting my hopes up about Harbaugh. I don't believe he's coming until he shows up at the podium with a copy of his signed contract and proclaims himself to be our next coach. I need that kind of proof. But I'll go ahead and bite....
Jim Harbaugh turned an NFL team that had been losers for a decade into Super Bowl contenders in one year. I'm not saying the same would happen here, but there's no reason that it couldn't. Barring a mass exodus of transfers, if he shows up there's no reason we can't compete for a conference title next year. All the talent is there to do it, and Harbaugh has shown he can turn things around immediately.
But here would be my expectations. First year, defense holds roughly status quo, and a marked improvement on the offensive side of the ball, especially at the QB position. Turn Morris/Speight into at least an effective game manager. O-Line is full of upperclassmen by then, so the line should be average to good, and with Green/Smith/Isaac, the running game should be good to very good. 8-9 wins, with a victory over either MSU or OSU, maybe a good bowl win, and I'd be happy to call his first season a success. I would give anything to watch Harbaugh do to Meyer next year what he did to Schwartz. Followed by a nice "Sorry I'm not sorry" at the post-game presser.
Second season is where I'd be hoping things really start to click. Maybe not a playoff contender yet, but the signs show we're getting closer to doing it. Again, at least one victory over a rival. QB position starts showing great signs, and Morris/Speight show the ability to take over games if need be. I'm hoping 10-11 win season and a New Year's Eve/Day Bowl Game invite.
Third season and beyond: Yearly conference title contender, semi-regular playoff contender, beating one or both of our rivals every year. We get back on even footing with OSU, and MSU starts showing signs that its getting put back in its place as the second-best program in the state.
Please, football gods, make this happen. Michigan has suffered enough.

But it's early in the season and this was the first real test the team faced. They'll undoubtedly get better as the year goes along, especially after going through a tough slate with Syracuse, SMU, and Arizona.

My gut tells me that we can keep it close, because Indiana did last week, and they're basically as bad as we are. I want to believe that Hoke will empty out the playbook and, knowing this is the end for him, he will throw everything he possibly can at OSU in hopes of pulling out a miracle.
But its been gut-check time for him for weeks, and he's failed to respond. The defense might keep it close for the first half, but we'll be done in by horribly predictable play-calling, and a few all-too-familiar turnovers. It might be 21-10 at halftime, but the game will likely be busted wide open in the second half, something to the tune of 56-17. The defense just won't be able to hold anymore. Meyer knows he needs to pull out all the stops to get into the playoff. This guy isn't like Tressel, who would call the dogs off when the game is in check. He won't be afraid to debase and absolutely humilate us on national television. Meyer will channel his inner Woody, and will be the asshole that will go for two at the end of the game just because he can.
I will be at the game on Saturday. I was offered a ticket and I'll be damned if I don't support this team to the bitter end. But I'm already settling in for what will be a very long day.

In the Boston area, the passing of a Dunkin Donuts franchise is news. So are the finer points of Tom Brady's hair. But in this instance, we know the closing of the Mass Ave. Dunkin reached a certain level of…prominence? virality? social lift? — because it made an appearance on 61Fresh, the experimental news aggregator built by the Globe Lab, the research and development team inside The Boston Globe.
This tweet, in particular, caught fire:
So. Upset. "Mass. Ave. Dunkin' Donuts Prepares to Close" http://t.co/wIlcRXHkP5 in @thecrimson
— Blog Will Hunting (@blogwillhunting) September 20, 2013
(In fairness, Matt Damon, a napkin, and apples also made that Dunkin newsworthy.)
What, exactly, is 61Fresh? And what's with the name?
"Half the people who respond to it ask, 'What's up with the name?' And I say, 'Oh, it's like 617, but six-one fresh," said Chris Marstall, a creative technologist in the Globe Lab. (Out-of-towners: 617 is the primary Boston area code.)
The name, like the site, is an experiment. Think of 61Fresh as a close cousin to something like Techmeme, Mediagazer, or our very own heat-seeking Twitter bot, Fuego. Where those algorithmic link aggregators are topic-based, 61Fresh instead has a geographic focus: "It's philosophically the same," Marstall says. "It's using a network to find the most relevant stories in a narrow domain for now."
Every 10 minutes, 61Fresh takes a spin around a localized slice of Twitter searching for rising news items. On any given day, you're likely to find stories on apartment fires, startup companies, or the Bruins. Unlike some aggregators that mix in some human control, 61Fresh is 100 percent algorithm-driven — which means both that it runs without the need for ongoing staff resources and that the end product can be a little raw, with different versions of the same story repeated during breaking news.
The project is still in early stages, and Marstall said they're still figuring out the best way for users to interact with 61Fresh, which for now exists as a website and Twitter feed. "The stories that pop up are stories drawing interest on Twitter," he said. "It's sort of an open question if this can be a standalone site in the future or if this is something that is a compelling part of Boston.com."
But how does 61Fresh figure out what's news, what's talk, and what's noise? The algorithm built by Globe Lab looks for tweets that link to stories or updates from just over 500 pre-selected websites in the Boston area. Aside from recognizable names like Boston.com, and the Boston Herald, the universe also includes stories from radio, TV, town government sites, universities, and blogs, including the growing network of online outlets that cover the particular cross-section of education, technology, and culture unique to the Boston area.
"We got three daily newspapers, a bunch of weekly newspapers, we got TV and radio, and all these blogs. That's just the tip of the iceburg," Marstall said. "It shows there's a lot of vibrancy here and a lot of smart people fighting to get attention for their stories."
Here's how they explain it:
We're downloading a real time stream of the local Twitter posts (originating roughly within Route 128) that link to stories on one of those 500 sites. Every tweet represents a vote. Our algorithm mixes popularity with freshness and a couple other ingredients, discounting the value of 'official' accounts and bots. We group similar articles together, generating a diverse feed that changes frequently throughout the day.
What you get with 61Fresh is a cascade of headlines, but in the form 140 characters, as the links that are pulled in use the text of the most prominent tweet on a particular story. "We want this to look like a conversation, we don't want this to look like a bunch of headlines," Marstall said. Keeping in that theme, each story pulled into 61Fresh shows a roster of people who have tweeted the link, as well as Twitter prompts to reply, retweet, or favorite.
One interesting feature on 61Fresh is the "mute sports" button, which, as the name implies, lets users excise anything related to sports from their feed. "Early on, we realized the sports stories could really dominate," Marstall said. "I like it — I'm a sports fan — but I know for a lot of people it's total noise."
Ali Hashmi, a former Knight fellow at the Globe Lab who is now at MIT, created a natural language processing system that helps the aggregator parse sports from the rest of the news. Using a base set of 1,000 sports stories, the system learns how to spot a sports article and pluck it out of the stream of stories, Marstall said, if you want neither pucks, punts, nor pitchers.
61Fresh is one of the latest projects to come out of the partnership between the Globe and MIT's Center for Civic Media. Originally, the lab's creative technologists and Knight fellows from MIT were working on a way to archive Globe reporters' tweets from the Boston Marathon bombing. Lessons and code from that were put into use for 61Fresh, Marstall said.
This is not the first time the Globe Lab has experimented with social media feeds as a means of monitoring life in Boston. Previously the lab developed Snap, a tool that maps Instgram photos to their geolocated spots around the city.
Jeff Moriarty, the Globe's vice president of digital products and general manager of Boston.com, said 61Fresh "fits in with the idea that we're moving Boston.com to include more of what people are saying and what people are doing right now in Boston." With the split between the two Globe sites, Boston.com has been focused on news and information, but also digital tools and online discussion, Moriarty said. The central idea is to be able to give readers a sense of what they need to know in a format that works best for them. "By combining both the news and what's popular on Twitter, you get this pretty unique view of what's happening right now," Moriarty said.
At the moment, 61Fresh is a little rough around the edges, the design is not particularly eye catching, and the team at Globe Lab is catching problems as they arise. But the lessons from the project will be applied in the future, either for a stand-alone aggregator or built into parts of Boston.com. Moriarty said he thinks the project can have a lot of value for niche topics like sports or technology — pulling in tweets and headlines for a Boston audience interested in the NFL or biotech, for instance. As Moriarty sees it, the job of Boston.com isn't just to deliver the news, but to provide context, conversation, and the other pieces to help readers see the bigger picture.
"I think it really needs to be what we do as a media organization: People want someone to help them make sense of what is going on around them," Moriarty said.
