|Does anyone on the internet
Does anyone on the internet do a "look back" and re-rank recruiting classes based on actual performance?
That would be more telling.
Class rankings before they even hit the court are just predictions. Who cares about the predictions (to some extent) - the actual result is what matters.

Good lip reading. I was willing to hear the official story before really getting on Hoke, but after watching again (and again) it's pretty bad. Even if Shane passed his concussion test there is no reason to insert Shane back into the game. Call a timeout. Whether this costs Hoke his job mid-season- we shall see.

I don't want to get in a big long debate over it, but something just rings a little disingenuous about this whole "fire Hoke because Shane" uproar.
In general I agree that Hoke mishandled the situation - but let's be honest with ourselves: If Michigan were 5-0 right now there would be nobody calling for Hoke's head over this. We'd be concerned for Shane's health, wonder aloud if Hoke should have pulled him sooner, and move on to the next opponent.
So let's call it what it is: we don't like Hoke because he doesn't win games, and this Shane incident is a convenient excuse to get our pitchfork on.
Again: I AGREE HOKE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN SHANE OUT OF THE GAME. Let's just be clear it's not the main reason we want Hoke gone.

|I guess I need to know the
I guess I need to know the NFL's intention. Are they trying to encourage more teams to go for two? (And not just in late game situations.)
If a 42 yd FG is coverted 83% of the time, then the expected pt value of the XP would be 1 x 0.83 = 0.83 pts.
If a 2-pt conversion is converted 50% of the time (which I think is roughly correct), then the expected pt value of it would be 2 x 0.5 = 1 pt.
As it stands now, the XP and 2-pt conversion have the same expected value of ~1 pt. So risk averse coaches take the safe route and kick the XP. But if coaches are getting a risk premium to go for two - in this case +0.17 pts - then maybe that changes their strategy.
But I just don't think the risk premium of +0.17 pts is enough to change a coach's mind.

I agree with you regarding BTN2GO. The few times I've tried to use it to watch something using the BTN2GO app something always went wrong. The most common problem is the stream would just cut off. So then you have to exit the app, relaunch it, watch another 30 second advertisement for Buick, then get treated to a choppy video stream.
After a few rounds of this I just fire up my Slingbox.

|Roku by itself is pretty
Roku by itself is pretty useless for mainstream sports.
If you want to use Watch ESPN, you'll need a cable subscription (or account+password of a relative/friend). As someone else mentioned, sometimes you'll get lucky and be able to watch a random game for free, but you can't rely on it.
If you want to watch BTN on Roku, I don't know of a solution. There's no channel for it. If you use Apple TV and have an iPhone or iPad, you can download the BTN2GO app and Airplay to the Apple TV. Once again, this requires a cable subscription.
I could be wrong, but I think Watch ESPN blacks out local games that are being broadcast on ABC, but you could always use an antenna to watch those games. (Or subscribe to Aereo if you live in an area where it's supported, like Detroit.)

|Re: Izzo
I thought the same thing as I watched the game. Izzo was on the court, just a few feet from the action. If I were a player I'd be tempted to dribble right at him and plow him over. It'd be hilarious to watch a ref make a confused-looking-blocking-call against Izzo. It's one thing to be barely on the court, but Izzo was too far out there. I'm a little surprised the ref didn't stop play and issue a warning - OK not surprised at all actually. (And it's possible they warned Izzo later I suppose.)
Regardless, the coaches didn't have the players ready last night. Burke proved to me once again that he is an elite player but also some leadership as well. Overall the team played sloppy and indecisive. The coaches didn't have an answer to MSU's perimeter defense. The coaches didn't have an answer to MSU's post play. The players didn't match MSU's hustle to rebounds and loose balls. The players didn't take care of the ball. Complete failure on Michigan's part. MSU was prepared and out-worked Michigan. End of story.

|Flagrant Rules
According to your link intent is meaningless. Perhaps that's why you put it in quotes, but that wasn't clear to me.
I don't think the contact was severe or extreme, so by my judgement it is not a flagrant 2.
From the NCAA rule book:
What it boils down to is this: a flagrant 1 foul is a personal foul that is excessive or involves swinging elbows above the shoulders (which doesn't apply in this case).
So was Craft's foul excessive? I think yes, but it's still a judgement call.

I'm happy to see things moving in this direction, but I wouldn't get too excited for this offering. My guess is the initial pricing won't be the huge benefit to consumers that we all want. The content providers will charge Intel a premium that will of course be passed to the consumer. So unless you will subscribe to only a few channels, my guess is the current bundled model will be more cost effective FOR NOW.
But, baby steps and all that, so any progress is great news. Give this new business model time to mature and prices will come down.

Fitzgerald's reaction was odd... I can't recall a head coach acting like that unless it's a game-winning play. Assistant coaches, sure. But head coaches are usually more stoic than that.
Add in the fact that he was celebrating a late hit call on his QB... seems like his first reaction should be concern for his QB or anger at a "cheap shot" but instead he's jumping around like he just got an N64 for Christmas.

If the comments are limited to Bellomy's play on the field (and not overly harsh) then I don't have a problem with it. I'm guessing Lewan and Bellomy feel the same way.
"Bellomy looked terrible on that 3rd down - he stood in the pocket way too long, he's gotta know to get rid of the ball quicker than that." = FINE
"Bellomy is a piece of crap and doesn't deserve to be on this team. He sux!!" = NOT OK

|I agree with you 100%
I thought both replays resulted in the correct call.
Roundtree: nose of ball hits ground and moves -> Incomplete pass
Smith: Arms appear to be under ball, no replay angle ever shows the ball hitting the ground -> ruling on the field stands. The argument that "no way does the ball do that unless it hits the ground" is dumb. Yes it's possible, and it's not the replay officials place to speculate on it.
If you want to debate it, that's fine. But it's nowhere near "we were robbed" territory and there is no conspiracy here. Both were close calls that, given the video evidence, I think the officials made the correct decisions.

I get your argument regarding the Roundtree call... But from my experience watching college football, that when the ball moves as much as it did when it touched the ground, it's going to be ruled incomplete more times than not.

I've defended (for lack of a better word) Valenti in the past, because when he's not talking about Michigan I think he's entertaining, but today he was over the top. So Pat Caputo wrote that Michigan has caught up to MSU in basketball... Most Michigan fans, especially those around here, don't think that's true. Sure we're getting closer but one season where we tie them in the B1G does not mean we are their equals. So I don't care that Valenti took exception to Caputo's blog post.
But the contrived anger that he was spouting off was absurd. I can't stand that. Sort of unrelated but it also seems like Valenti has been getting a little cocky on the air regarding his status within the station... almost like he's trying to big time his coworkers. He does it behind the veil of sarcasm but it comes off poorly (in my opinion).

This is the NCAA we're talking about, so don't expect them to apply any discretion.

Mich was ranked #18 in preseason polls. MSU was unranked (~#26 if you look at the "others receiving votes").

|You're right. For some reason
You're right. For some reason in my head I was assuming MSU/OSU/Mich were 1-1 against each other in both scenarios.
So in the event of all 3 teams at 14-4 at the end of the B10 season (tie-breaker in parenthesis):
MSU loses to OSU: #1 MSU (record vs IU), #2 OSU (record vs Iowa), #3 Mich
MSU loses to non-OSU: #1 MSU (record vs OSU), #2 Mich
EDIT: fixed 2nd scenario... if MSU doesn't lose to OSU then OSU would have 5 losses.
|2 years 40 weeks ago
|My interpretation, could be wrong...
If MSU's loss is to Indiana, then MSU would be the #3 seed due to their record against NW (1 loss compared to no losses for Mich and OSU). OSU would be the #1 seed, Mich #2 (thanks to the Iowa loss).
If MSU's loss is to any other team, MSU is the #1 seed by virtue of tie breaker (0 losses to Indiana, both Mich and OSU have 1 loss). Mich would be the #3 seed (again, thanks to Iowa).
EDIT: this was meant to be a reply to Sambojangles, assuming MSU loses 1 game and OSU/Mich go undefeated down the stretch.

Then you lost me when you had expectations that we should have got five 5 stars instead of two. (1) That's a pretty large thing to expect to happen. (2) Hoke & co. went after those 5 star recruits hard and just missed out. What more do you want from the coaching staff?

|I'm not very knowledable of
I'm not very knowledable of the management structure of the BCS, but just looking at the outcome the bowl hosts seem to have the better end of the agreement (financially). I'm not sure when the contracts would be up for negotiation, but it certainly wouldn't be unprecedented for one party (in this case the schools) demand renegotiation based on unfairness. Yes I know that the schools only have themselves to blame if they agreed to the terms in the first place but in my opinion it shouldn't stop them from trying to perhaps work something out through arbitration. The whole system feels like a house of cards to some extent anyways... not sustainable if for no other reason than eventually the public outcry will demand changes (at least I hope the public will get sick of stupid meaningless bowl games).
TL;DR: Just because the schools got themselves into this mess doesn't mean there aren't options to fix it... I think they have enough leverage to do so.

Well, I believe the key point is that the bottleneck will be the slowest of these two connections:

(2) Smartphone data download speed (Verizon in Brian's case)
DSL usually has slow upload speed compared to Comast. I believe U-Verse has 1 Mbps upload (unless you pony up for a premium internet package) and Comcast is 3 Mbps upload (don't quote me on this...).
But, on game day when Verizon's data network will likely be busier than normal, my guess is that the Verizon download speed will be your bottleneck.

One thing that stood out to me... he says that it's his job to present facts so fans can make up their minds. He then proceeds to make HUGE assumptions and generalizations that are based on ZERO facts and concludes that Mr. Dorsey is, likely, a criminal. This, to me, is extremely slanderous and downright reckless. Mr. Sharp needs a few days off from work for this, in my opinion.
The only point he made that I thought was valid was about fans needing to take a more objective stance when evaluating the personal conduct of players. I only wish he would follow his own advice.

I usually defend him because he's a radio personality PAID to have an opinion and usually it's a little over the top but, well, that's more entertaining than the same opinion everyone has. I'd rather listen to that than some of the other boring personalities at WXYT (I'm looking at you Caputo and Fithian).
What irks me about him though is he will contradict himself (callers often call him out on it, but then he just berates the caller and hangs up on them).
For example, I think it was prior to the ND game, Valenti was arguing that Warren and Cissoko were a top 5 or top 10 cornerback combo IN THE COUNTRY. Today, he's scoffing at people for thinking Cissoko was any good because he had recruiting hype.
Today he was in full-out "anger-Michigan-fan" mode, which is so frustrating to listen to. Best thing to do: switch him off for the day.

so instead the check was written for 29387 or $29,387.
but yeah, someone should have noticed this.

|I don't like the Arrington argument...
I don't think that punishing a player for violating team rules is consistent with the intent of the NCAA mandatory workout limits.
Lloyd could have simply kicked Arrington off the team, thus revoking his scholarship for violating team rules. Instead, he gave Arrington a choice: run stairs at 6am and MAYBE you will get a second chance.
The intent of the NCAA workout limits is to (1) protect the student-athlete from being overworked such that their academic obligations suffer and (2) keep coaches away in the off-season to maintain a level playing field.
This is just my interpretation of the spirit of the rules and I don't think situations like Arrington's are what the NCAA was trying to regulate when the limits were enacted.

FSU should have ran a quick play on 3rd down with 5 seconds left so they could run another play on 4th down if needed. The previous play only took 4 seconds. Somewhat risky, but rolling out the QB guarantees that it's the last play of the game.

|Interesting read
Reading about 3 and even 4 reads on a single play really emphasizes how quickly QBs are reacting and the importance of experience to recognize the defense.
Which isn't necessarily encouraging when thinking about a true freshman at QB.

Someone also mentioned the Chris Meyers show on WDFN... it is terrible in my opinion. There are way too many cooks in that kitchen... they all interrupt each other and yell over each other. Bad radio.

Regarding the rant - he's a fan and he got emotional about his team. Unfortunately for him (but good for us) he was on the air when he blew off some steam. I like that he's passionate about his team.
Regarding the Corey Smith jokes - Read my earlier comment, it was a mistake but I don't think he's a bad guy who regularly makes fun of the deceased.
Regarding him being the best/worst - to each's own. I know plenty of people who can't stand Valenti. For whatever reason, I find him entertaining. He sometimes tries to get analytical when that's obviously not his strength, but again, I think he's better than the rest of the 97.1 personalities.

|Corey Smith
In defense of Valenti, he was reading a listener's "instant feedback" joke. It was in poor taste, Valenti acknowledged that it was before he read it, and Terry Foster encouraged him to read it anyways. He made a quick decision to read it, it was the wrong decision. But I don't hold anything against him regarding this incident.
I agree that Valenti is the best Detroit sports radio host. I think Karsch is number 2. Sure Valenti can be abrasive at times and his MSU homerism shines through occasionally but for the most part his commentary is pretty good. He at least has some personality, which is more than a lot of the guys at that station can say.

Like many things in life, you need to understand the boundaries of what is appropriate vs inappropriate. It's probably ok to wish a recruit good luck and give him a "Go Blue!" at the end of your message. It's not ok to leave negative feedback.
Also remember, if you are a season ticket holder you can be considered an athletic booster, and as such the NCAA puts restrictions and the types of communication you can have with prospective recruits.
A safe rule to follow: if you are questioning whether something is appropriate, either don't do it or find out.

Does this have any impact on our APR score, either directly or indirectly?
In other words, if he gets kicked off the team but still graduates, there should be no negative effect on the APR? However, if getting booted from the team leads to his saying "eff it" and fails to complete the graduation requirements, then I assume in that case the APR gets dinged (even though he's a senior and would be done anyway...)

I agree with you that Haloscan certainly had its downfalls and limitations, which you summed up nicely. And perhaps I was being too literal when I said I would give my left nut or whatever to get Haloscan back... what I was really trying to convey is that I wanted the community of the Haloscan days back.
I don't know exactly how to say it other than this: it was different back then.
And just so I'm clear, this is in no way Brian's fault. His content is still A++ as far as I'm concerned. I think the root of the problem is the site got way more popular, and with it more riff raff showed up, leading to the perfect storm of cynicism and tempers we see today.
MGoBoard is not the problem, nor is Haloscan the solution.
That is all.

|Haloscan is the old
Haloscan is the old commenting system that was used at MGoBlog when it was still residing at blogspot.com (pre-June '08). If you go to mgoblog.blogspot.com I think you can still browse the old Haloscan comments, but closed to new comments.
|5 years 28 weeks ago
|My rambling opinion, please allow me that much.
I discovered MGoBlog a few years ago. A friend told me about this Michigan fan on the internet who breaks down EVERY SINGLE PLAY of EVERY SINGLE GAME and posts his analysis. The next day I typed "mgoblog" into google and away I went.
Before that day, I spent my time at work checking ESPN, CFN, anything I could get my hands on that might mention Michigan football and provide some analysis. Thinking back on these days it seems so archaic, so inefficient. Yet my ignorance permitted me to accept the status quo and be happy with what I had.
All this changed the day of that google search. I digested each UFR quickly yet carefully, revisiting the play in my mind while reading one man's opinion as to why it was successful or doomed. And charts? Charts.
Haloscan, it had charm didn't it? I wore out my F5 key refreshing that tiny little Haloscan window, perfect for reading incognito at work. Sure there was lots of nonsense going on even back then... who can forget all the namejacking and the ensuing tomfoolery. But it always seemed in good fun. And despite the nonsense, there was always good conversation and content in those comment threads. I miss Haloscan.
And now here we are today, and Brian is asking people to chill out. Nostalgia definitely skews our memory, but dammit I would give my virtual left nut to have those Haloscan days back. I still love the meat and potatoes of MGoBlog as much as I did before, but my affinity for the community has declined drastically.
Hell, maybe once the season is here things will be better. The offseason does crazy things to people.

Is anyone familiar setting up podcasts? From my quick research it looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to set up my own feed that uses the mp3s at WTKA's site.

Is there a free or almost-free service out there on the internets that will monitor WTKA's server and when a new mp3 file is uploaded the xml is automatically updated?

Gun background checks ignore those on terrorism watch list
Updated On: Apr 24 2013 10:59:01 PM CDT
It may not be difficult for those on the terrorist watch list to get their hands on a gun. A new NPR report shows someone can pass a background check, and also be on federal government's radar as a possible terrorist.
The FBI said when it comes to gun sales they follow the current legislation and had no other comment.
"The mere fact you are on a terrorist watch list alone would not prevent you from purchasing firearm," said Dale Roberts, local lawyer who teaches firearms law for the Missouri Bar.
The 2nd Amendment right can only be denied for certain reasons such as being convicted of a crime or having a mental health record. "So if you are on the terrorist watch list and you have one of those disqualifications, certainly that would stop you," said Roberts.
According to NPR, 90 percent of the people on the list between 2004-2010 were able to buy guns and explosives. Currently the federal government doesn't share the watch list with the gun application list. Should the process be changed?
"I have mixed feelings about it. If you have been investigated and you are on the watch list for good reason, then I kind of think they should scrutinize that. But, there's the possibility you are on the watch list accidentally or incorrectly," said Roberts.
According to NPR some people make the watch list simply because they knew suspected terrorists or had similar names. Also, being on the list doesn't mean you are guilty of a crime.
"It's a difficult process. If you are on the watch list you probably don't know it and to be denied that constitutional right would be infringement upon due process" said Roberts.
To safely preserve that right, a process called National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) through the FBI is used to check gun-buyer's backgrounds. It can immediate deny, approve, or delay the purchase for 72 hours.
"Is there any sort of middle ground for the NICS people to look at a terrorist watch list? The delayed function might give them that opportunity," said Roberts.
While what to do is unclear, law enforcement admit changes might not stop tragedy.
"The fact it's against the law to set off a bomb certainly doesn't stop them. So, I am not sure the fact its illegal to purchase a fire arm would stop them," said Roberts.
If being on the terrorist watch list were to stop someone from being able to buy a gun, then the person would have to be notified why, and that they were on the list. That process is something the government likely would not want to do.
ABC 17 News also called Homeland Security to learn more about the terrorist watch list, and called the National Rifle Association to see if they had any comment. Neither group returned the station's calls.

Sophisticated, Open Source iCufflinks by Adafruit Industries
Adafruit Industries has released their first in a line of original, open-source jewelry: iCufflinks.
Violet Blue unapologetically covers the intersection of tech trends and media stories about corruption, hypocrisy and redemption from tech's fault line, San Francisco.

Adafruit Industries has released their first in a line of original, open-source jewelry: iCufflinks.
WWDC 2011 lacked innovation and exemplified a monoculture that casts the closing of Apple's Jobs-era legacy in a light of exclusivity, hostility, and heartfelt angst among those who felt that Apple's core strength was in its embrace of outsiders.
With the announcement at Apple's WWDC 2011 regarding iCloud music service (for a fee), those who get to play with Google's Music (Beta) - and general music lovers - are distinctly unimpressed.
A 58-year-old grandmother is sentenced to three years' probation and must attend cognitive behavioral therapy sessions as part of her criminal file-sharing sentence. Violet Blue asks psychologist Dr. Keely Kolmes, PsyD, if file-sharing is now considered a disorder.
First proposed as a free social media dating simulator, Cloud Girlfriend offers a faux "girlfriend experience" while Violet Blue wonders why they didn't take their dating sim lessons from Japan.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just published its official Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide, but left out emergency tech preparedness. Violet Blue has tips for tech survival during a zombie outbreak.
Anonymous' roots and actions remain steps ahead of pop media, who think they're a pimply teenage army, and Anonymous has a complex history. Despite Anonymous' online evolution, people still seem to confuse Anonymous with "Revenge Of The Nerds.
Google's famous developer conference - Google I/O 2011 - ushered 5,000 attendees into San Francisco's Moscone Center. Violet Blue was there, observing that Google is making sacrifices Apple wouldn't dream of.
Interviews with one convicted pedophile and UK researchers conclude that Internet porn makes monsters, while National Geographic sets to air a similarly dubious segment of their series "Taboo." Violet Blue thinks their fear of technology proves they're stuck in the past.
A tech figure's final request is fulfilled when his wife publishes his post-mortem blog post - just days before the Digital Death unconference, provoking emotions and questions about death, mourning, data storage and fragility in the digital age.

Former Lakers assistant coach Jim Cleamons hired by Milwaukee Bucks
- Updated: September 4, 2013
Longtime Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jim Cleamons was officially hired on Wednesday by the Milwaukee Bucks to join head coach Larry Drew's assistant coach staff, according to Eric Picnus of the LA Times.
The move was announced by Bucks general manager John Hammond along with the addition of Scott Williams and Josh Oppenheimer as assistant coaches that will be joining former Lakers point guard Nick Van Exel and Bob Bender under Drew for the 2013-14 season.
"I'm excited to be able to assemble this strong coaching staff in Milwaukee," Drew said in a statement to the Associated Press. "Jim, Scott and Josh all bring their unique experiences to the Bucks bench as well as diverse coaching skills."
Cleamons has a long rich history with the Lakers franchise as he served as an assistant coach under Phil Jackson winning five championships and as a player helping the organization obtain the 1971-72 championship.
For the Bucks, it will be Drew's first season as head coach after his contract expired this offseason, which effectively ending his three-year tenure with the Atlanta Hawks.
Milwaukee roster has also undergone change losing its two backcourt starters in point guard Brandon Jennings to the Detroit Pistons via a sign-and-trade and shooting guard Monta Ellis to the Dallas Mavericks through free agency on a three-year deal,worth $25 million.
Responding to the moves, the Bucks signed shooting guard O.J. Mayo to a three-year, $24 million contract, acquired point guard Brandon Knight through the Jennings' trade, signed center Larry Sanders to a four-year extension worth up to $48 million, and traded for two-time All-Star small forward Caron Butler.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. King Push indeed.
What I mean to say is that this, coupled with his selling "i" to the NBA, makes me think that Kendrick's label is holding the reins tightly and might be holding back his artistic potential as a result. It's a shame.
That Flying Lotus couldn't put this on his already great You're Dead! for "political reasons" underscores exactly why I'm annoyed with Kendrick the phenomenon. He's SUCH a commodity that he can't put out one mor? Would the hype-train for this guy would dissolve if music became over-saturated with his verses? No, selling his song to
Killer verse tho.
Where's the beef, Diplo?
Gotta say that as someone who loves all of their other albums (including Nine Types of Light) this isn't doing much for me. The singles are good, and the last song is an instant classic, but a lot of this feels uninspired to me. There's also a conspicuous lack of low-end, but we all know why that is. Sort of like TVOTR's take on synth pop, but without the ambition that made their early records so thrilling.
That said, I'd love to be convinced otherwise. Dear Science is easily one of the best indie rock albums of the last 10 years.
Huh, so this is actually pretty good. Surprised it exists at all.
This week is all about Arca's Xen for me. Took a few listens, but his all-over-the-place aesthetic is exciting and operates under its own logic that reveals itself the more familiar you become. And to me it resembles what I imagine the soundtrack to Half Life 3 would sound like (assuming that game was EVER coming out, ugh).
Was exited about this write-up and it didn't disappoint. Great work Tom, thanks.
This album is bananas. Best verse for me is Mike's second on "Jeopardy," but there's obviously stiff competition there.
Is it too soon to call this AOTY? Probably. But come on people, this is album is the real deal.
Production-wise RTJ2 is on fire; there's more of a cohesiveness than the debut, and the beats are darker/grittier. In terms of mood, whereas their first one was a gleeful fuck-boy assault, this new album seems to recognize the grimness of constantly keeping the fuck-boys in check but shoulders it with aplomb anyway. Rhyme-wise it also tops the debut. Listening to this you get the impression that hanging around El-P motivated Mike to write denser rhymes, and he does so in a great way here, El-P is great too, obviously – you're always going to get some dense, thought-out rhymes with him.
What do you think of it, RJ?

My ex and I went to court on a contempt motion in February. The judge signed the final order on May 6th. On May 7th his attorney, which he did not have at the time of the trial, sent a letter asking the judge to reconsider making my ex pay for all the travel arrangements for my son. Prior to that my ex was told to follow the previous order and he did not do that. Now that the Judge has signed the final order he is again not following on the strength of the letter that the new attorney has sent on a case that has already been adjudicated. Does he have to follow the final order that was signed by the Judge or not. There are no new motions or orders in place as of now
Talk to your attorney, but a letter from your attorney is not going to stop the requirement from you to follow the order. You attorney would need to appeal the case filing the appropriate forms and paying the filing fee.
If the Order has been signed and filed with the Clerk then it is a valid and enforceable Order. A letter or a Motion for Reconsideration does not invalidate the Order. If you do not have an attorney then you should contact one immediately to respond to the letter or motion for reconsideration. At the very minimum you need to respond.
You can ask for a court date to argue the letter or motion and get clarification from the Judge on what he meant to include and not include.

Here are the pentatonic scales for each key used in blues, country, rock n roll…
These are considered minor pentatonic. To play the major pentatonic scales (that country feel) Just count down 3 steps and play the relative key. For example if a country song in in the key of C you would play the a A minor pentatonic scale.
Great resource. Thanks, MGN!
Mary in Lebanon, Oregon http://www.thefiddleandbanjoproject.wordpress.com
The keys are the first note in each pentatonic scale listed in that little image above -). For example the first pentatonic scale listed is C minor pentatonic so play the blues and rock n roll in C minor pentatonic and give it some country flair by adding in the A minor pentatonic scale (the A minor pentatonic is the same scale and notes as a C major pentatonic). Just ask me some questions, I can't explain all this right now ;-)

Now 2013 is wrapping up, some of us are clearing up the stuff bought this year which includes hot movies DVDs such as Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Superman: Man of Steal, Pacific Rim, etc. A safe way to protect these DVDs from damage or scratch is make a digital copy on your computer or even make a duplicate - clone DVD to DVD discs. It is an easy job as we can find lots of DVD backup tools from the internet. But today I would like to recommend a powerful DVD copy software without paying a cent, i.e. WinX DVD Copy Pro from Digiarty Software, Inc.
WinX DVD Copy Pro is a universal DVD copy software to help DVD collectors back up their DVDs for safe storage, later burning or playing. It offers four main options to back up DVDs, including clone DVD to blank DVD disc, copy DVD to ISO image, copy DVD to VIDEO_TS folder and copy DVD to MPEG2 format while keeping 5.1 channel AC3/DTS Dolby audio effect. In my opinion, WinX DVD Copy Pro will definitely meet your daily DVD backup requirements.

Featuring an expandable chassis supporting "Open PC Architecture" (allowing a wide variety of hardware customization) the ultra-thin and quiet Jetpack will be mountable directly to the back of a television screen or under a table via standard VESA mount specifications. No price information is yet announced but since Piixl Jetpack is not the only one joining the revolutionary "Computer behind TV" concept powered by SteamOS, consumers will surely get a worthy deal in near future.

Internet Explorer 8 was the very first web-browser to utilize separate processes followed by Google Chrome, the separation of UI and multiple "content" processes to host web-content results in better security and performance. Using separate content processes allows them to be properly sandboxed enhancing security and will also result in better UI responsiveness as the browser UI would not be affected by poor performance of content processes.
Although the underlying Gecko platform on which Firefox runs supports multiple processes, the Firefox frontend is not designed to use them. Work to make the frontend support multiple processes began in early 2013, and fruits of the work are now available in Nightly builds of the browser. The new multi-process Firefox will make it a more stable web-browser, a crash in "content" process will not kill the entire browser and will show something like below telling which tab crashed allowing them to be reloaded.
