En dash
A dash is a punctuation mark that is similar to a hyphen or minus sign, but differs from both of these symbols primarily in length and function. The most common versions of the dash are the en dash (–) and the em dash (—), named for the length of a typeface's lower-case n and upper-case M respectively.
Usage varies both within English and in other languages, but the usual convention in printed English text is:
- Either version may be used to denote a break in a sentence or to set off parenthetical statements (ideally with intradocument consistency). Style and usage guides vary,[1] but often in this function en dashes are used with spaces and em dashes are used without them:[2]
[Em dash:] A flock of sparrows—some of them juveniles—alighted and sang.
[En dash:] A flock of sparrows – some of them juveniles – alighted and sang.
- The en dash (but not the em dash) is also used to indicate spans or differentiation, where it may be considered to replace "and" or "to" (but not "to" in the phrase "from … to …"):[3]
The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was fought in western Pennsylvania and along the present US–Canadian border (Edwards, pp. 81–101).
- The em dash (but not the en dash) is also used to set off the sources of quotes:
"In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing." —Oscar Wilde
Common dashes[edit]
There are several forms of dash, of which the most common are:
glyph | Unicode codepoint[4] | HTML character entity reference | HTML/XML numeric character references | TeX | Alt code (Windows) | OS X key combination | Compose key | vim digraph | Microsoft Word key combination | |
figure dash | ‒ | U+2012 | ‒ ‒ |
en dash | – | U+2013 | – |

-- |
Alt+0150 | ⌥ Opt - |
Compose - - . |
Ctrl+K - N |
Ctrl Num - |
em dash | — | U+2014 | — |
— — |
--- |
Alt+0151 | ⌥ Opt ⇧ Shift - |
Compose - - - |
Ctrl+K - M |
Ctrl Alt Num - |
horizontal bar | ― | U+2015 | ― ― |
Ctrl+K - 3 |
swung dash | ⁓ | U+2053 | ⁓ ⁓ |
$\sim$ |
Less common are the two-em dash (⸺) and three-em dash (⸻), both added to Unicode with version 6.1 as U+2E3A and U+2E3B. Windows character codes require that Num Lock be on.
Figure dash[edit]
The figure dash (‒) is so named because it is the same width as a digit, at least in fonts with digits of equal width. This is true of most fonts, not only monospaced fonts.
The figure dash is used when a dash must be used within numbers (e.g. phone number 555‒0199). It does not indicate a range, for which the en dash is used; nor does it function as the minus sign, which also uses a separate glyph.
The figure dash is often unavailable; in this case, one may use a hyphen-minus instead. In Unicode, the figure dash is U+2012 (decimal 8210). HTML authors must use the numeric forms ‒
or ‒
to type it unless the file is in Unicode; there is no equivalent character entity.
In TeX, the standard fonts have no figure dash; however, the digits normally all have the same width as the en dash, so an en dash can be substituted when using standard TeX fonts. In XeLaTeX, one could use \char"2012
[5] (Linux Libertine font has the figure dash glyph).
En dash[edit]
The en dash, n dash, n-rule, or "nut" (–) is traditionally half the width of an em dash.[6][7] In modern fonts, the length of the en dash is not standardized, and the en dash is often more than half the width of the em dash.[8] The widths of en and em dashes have also been specified as being equal to those of the upper-case letters N and M respectively,[9][10] and at other times to the widths of the lower-case letters.[8][11]
In most uses of en dashes, such as when used in indicating ranges, they are closed up to the joined words. It is only when en dashes take the role of em dashes – for example, in setting off parenthetical statements such as this one – that they take spaces around them.[citation needed]
Ranges of values[edit]
The en dash is commonly used to indicate a closed range of values—a range with clearly defined and finite upper and lower boundaries—roughly signifying what might otherwise be communicated by the word "through".[12] This may include ranges such as those between dates, times, or numbers.[13][14][15][16] Various style guides restrict this range indication style to only parenthetical or tabular matter, requiring "to" or "through" in running text. Examples of this usage include:
En dash range style (e.g., APA*) | Hyphen range style (e.g., AMA*) | Running text spell-out |
June–July 1967 | June-July 1967 | June and July 1967 |
1:15–2:15 p.m. | 1:15-2:15 p.m. | 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. |
For ages 3–5 | For ages 3-5 | For ages 3 through 5 |
pp. 38–55 | pp. 38-55 | pages 38 to 55 |
President Jimmy Carter (1977–81) | President Jimmy Carter (1977-81) | President Jimmy Carter, in office from 1977 to 1981 |
*Other style differences (e.g., APA "p.m." and "pp." vs AMA "PM" and "pp") are ignored for the purpose of this comparison.) |
The preference for an en dash instead of a hyphen in ranges is a matter of style preference, not inherent orthographic "correctness"; both are equally "correct", and each is the preferred style in some style guides. For example, APA style uses an en dash in ranges, but AMA style uses a hyphen.
Various style guides (including the Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI) and the AMA Manual of Style) recommend that when a number range might be misconstrued as subtraction, the word "to" should be used instead of an en dash. For example, "a voltage of 50 V to 100 V" is preferable to using "a voltage of 50–100 V". Relatedly, in ranges that include negative numbers, "to" is used to avoid ambiguity or awkwardness (for example, "temperatures ranged from −18 °C to −34 °C"). It is also considered poor style (best avoided) to use the en dash in place of the words to or and in phrases that follow the forms from … to … and between … and ….[14][15]
Relationships and connections[edit]
The en dash can also be used to contrast values, or illustrate a relationship between two things.[13][16] Examples of this usage include:
- Australia beat American Samoa 31–0.
- Radical–Unionist coalition
- Boston–Hartford route
- New York–London flight (however, it may be seen that New York to London flight is more appropriate because New York is a single name composed of two valid words; with a dash the phrase is ambiguous and could mean either Flight from New York to London or New flight from York to London,[16] though New York to London flight could actually also mean New flight from York to London)
- Mother–daughter relationship
- The Supreme Court voted 5–4 to uphold the decision.
- The McCain–Feingold bill
Among writers who use en dashes in these contexts, a distinction is often made between "simple" attributive compounds (written with a hyphen) and other subtypes (written with an en dash); at least one authority considers name pairs, where the paired elements carry equal weight, as in the Taft-Hartley Act to be "simple",[14] while others consider an en dash appropriate in instances such as this[17][18][19] to represent the parallel relationship, as in the McCain–Feingold bill or Bose–Einstein statistics. However, a compound surname is written with a hyphen, thus the Lennard-Jones potential is named after one person, while Bose and Einstein are two people.
The preference for an en dash instead of a hyphen in these coordinate/relationship/connection types of terms is a matter of style preference, not inherent orthographic "correctness"; both are equally "correct", and each is the preferred style in some style guides. For example, the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the AMA Manual of Style, and Dorland's medical reference works use hyphens, not en dashes, in coordinate terms (such as blood-brain barrier), in eponyms (such as Cheyne-Stokes respiration, Kaplan-Meier method, and hundreds of others), and so on.
Attributive compounds[edit]
In English, the en dash is usually used instead of a hyphen in compound (phrasal) attributives in which one or both elements is itself a compound, especially when the compound element is an open compound, meaning it is not itself hyphenated. This manner of usage may include such examples as:[14][15][20][21]
- The hospital–nursing home connection
(the connection between the hospital and the nursing home, not a home connection between the hospital and nursing)
- A nursing home–home care policy
- Pre–Civil War era
- Pulitzer Prize–winning novel
- The non–San Francisco part of the world
- The post–World War II era (however, a hyphen would be used in post-war era)
- Trans–New Guinea languages
- The ex–prime minister
- The pro-conscription–anti-conscription debate
- Public-school–private-school rivalries
The disambiguating value of the en dash in these patterns was illustrated by Strunk and White in The Elements of Style with the following example: when Chattanooga News and Chattanooga Free Press merged, the joint company was inaptly named Chattanooga News-Free Press, which could be interpreted as meaning that their newspapers were news-free.[22]
An exception to the use of en dashes is usually made when prefixing an already hyphenated compound; an en dash is generally avoided as a distraction in this case. Examples of this include:[22]
- non-English-speaking air traffic controllers
- semi-labor-intensive industries
- Proto-Indo-European language
- The post-MS-DOS era
- non-government-owned corporations
An en dash can be retained to avoid ambiguity, but whether any ambiguity is plausible is a judgment call. AMA style retains the en dashes in the following examples,[23] but one could argue that some perverseness may be needed to construe the hyphens-only alternative as ambiguous:
- non–self-governing
- non–English-language journals
- non–group-specific blood
- non–Q-wave myocardial infarction
- non–brain-injured subjects
Differing recommendations[edit]
As discussed above, the en dash is sometimes recommended instead of a hyphen in compound adjectives where neither part of the adjective modifies the other—that is, when each modifies the noun, as in love–hate relationship. The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), however, limits the use of the en dash to two main purposes:
- First, use it to indicate ranges of time, money, or other amounts, or in certain other cases where it replaces the word to.
- Second, use it in place of a hyphen in a compound adjective when one of the elements of the adjective is an open compound, or when two or more of its elements are compounds, open or hyphenated.[24]
That is, it favors hyphens in instances where some other guides suggest en dashes, the 16th edition explaining that "Chicago's sense of the en dash does not extend to between" to rule out its use in "US-Canadian relations".[24]
In these two uses, en dashes normally do not have spaces around them. An exception is made when avoiding spaces may cause confusion or look odd. For example, compare 12 June – 3 July with 12 June–3 July.[25]
Parenthetic and other uses at the sentence level[edit]
Like em dashes, en dashes can be used instead of colons or pairs of commas that mark off a nested clause or phrase. They can also be used around parenthetical expressions – such as this one – in place of the em dashes preferred by some publishers[who?], particularly where short columns are used, since em dashes can look awkward at the end of a line. (See en dash versus em dash below.) In these situations, en dashes must have a single space on each side.
Electronic usage[edit]
In TeX, the en dash may normally (depending on the font) be input as a double hyphen-minus (--
). In LaTeX you can also use the macro (\textendash
). On Mac OS X, most keyboard layouts map an en dash to ⌥ Opt+-. On Microsoft Windows, an en dash may be entered as Alt+0150 (where the digits are typed on the numeric keypad while holding down the Alt key). In Linux (GTK+ v. 2.10+ applications only, see Unicode input), it is entered by holding down Ctrl+Shift and typing U followed by its Unicode code point, 2013, or using the compose key by pressing the compose key, two hyphens, and a period.
The en dash is sometimes used as a substitute for the minus sign, when the minus sign character is not available, since the en dash is usually the same width as a plus sign. For example, the original 8-bit Macintosh character set had an en dash, useful for the minus sign, years before Unicode with a dedicated minus sign was available. The hyphen-minus is usually too narrow to make a typographically acceptable minus sign. However, the en dash cannot be used for a minus sign in programming languages because the syntax usually requires a hyphen-minus; because programming languages are usually set in a fixed-pitch (monospaced) font face, the hyphen-minus looks acceptable there.
Itemization mark[edit]
The en dash may be used as a bullet mark at the start of each item in a list,[citation needed] but a plain hyphen is more commonly used (and even mandatory in formats like Markdown).
Em dash[edit]
The em dash, m dash, m-rule, or "mutton"[26] (—) is longer than an en dash. The character is called an em dash because it is one em wide, a length that varies depending on the font size. One em is the same length as the font's height (which is typically measured in points). So in 9-point type, an em dash is 9 points wide, while in 24-point type the em dash is 24 points wide. By comparison, the en dash, with its 1-en width, is in most fonts either a half-em wide[27] or the width of an "n".[28]
The em dash is used in much the way a set of parentheses is used; it can show an abrupt change in thought or be used where a full stop (period) is too strong and a comma too weak. Em dashes are sometimes used to set off summaries or definitions.[29]
It often demarcates a break of thought or form:
- "I believe I shall—no, I'm going to do it."
It may indicate an interpolation stronger than that demarcated by parentheses, as in the following from Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine:
At that age I once stabbed my best friend, Fred, with a pair of pinking shears in the base of the neck, enraged because he had been given the comprehensive sixty-four-crayon Crayola box—including the gold and silver crayons—and would not let me look closely at the box to see how Crayola had stabilized the built-in crayon sharpener under the tiers of crayons.
It is also used to indicate that a sentence is unfinished because the speaker has been interrupted. In this use, it is sometimes doubled:
- "But I'm trying to explain that I ——"
In a related use, it may visually indicate the shift between speakers when they overlap in speech. For example, the em dash is used this way in Joseph Heller's Catch-22:
He was Cain, Ulysses, the Flying Dutchman; he was Lot in Sodom, Deirdre of the Sorrows, Sweeney in the nightingales among trees. He was the miracle ingredient Z-147. He was—
"Crazy!" Clevinger interrupted, shrieking. "That's what you are! Crazy!"
"—immense. I'm a real, slam-bang, honest-to-goodness, three-fisted humdinger. I'm a bona fide supraman."
Similarly, it can be used instead of an ellipsis to indicate aposiopesis, the rhetorical device by which a sentence is stopped short not because of interruption, but because the speaker is too emotional to continue, such as Darth Vader's line "I sense something; a presence I've not felt since—" in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.[30] Of course, since the ellipsis is the standard choice, this use is definitely non-standard. The reader would assume interruption.
A quotation dash[31] may be used to indicate turns in a dialog, in which case each dash starts a paragraph.[32] It replaces other quotation marks, and was preferred by authors such as James Joyce:[33]
- ―Oh saints above! Miss Douce said, sighed above her jumping rose. I wished I hadn't laughed so much. I feel all wet
- ―Oh Miss Douce! Miss Kennedy protested. You horrid thing!
The em dash may have the inverse function of a colon:
- Red, white, and blue—these are the colors of the flag.
- These are the colors of the flag: red, white, and blue.
They may be used to indicate omitted letters in a word reduced to an initial:
- It was alleged that D— had been threatened with blackmail.
Em dashes are also used to indicate attributions for block quotations, as next.
In Middle Modern English texts and afterward, em dashes were used to add long pauses (as noted by Joseph Robertson's 1785 An Essay On Punctuation):
Lord Cardinal! if thou think'st on heaven's bliss,
Hold up thy hand, make signal of that hope.—
He dies, and makes no sigh!— Shakespeare, from King Henry
Spacing and substitution[edit]
According to most American sources (such as The Chicago Manual of Style) and some British sources (such as The Oxford Guide to Style), an em dash should always be set closed, meaning it should not be surrounded by spaces. But the practice in some parts of the English-speaking world, including the style recommended by The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage and the AP Stylebook, sets it open, separating it from its surrounding words by using spaces or hair spaces (U+200A) when it is being used parenthetically. Some writers, finding the em dash unappealingly long, prefer to use an open-set en dash. This "space, en dash, space" sequence is also the predominant style in German and French typography. (See En dash versus em dash below.)
In Canada, The Canadian Style (A Guide to Writing and Editing), The Oxford Canadian A to Z of Grammar, Spelling & Punctuation, Guide to Canadian English Usage (Second Edition), Editing Canadian English Manual, and the Canadian Oxford Dictionary all specify that an em dash should be set closed when used between words, a word and numeral, or two numerals.
In Australia, the Style manual (For authors, editors and printers, Sixth edition), also specifies that em dashes inserted between words, a word and numeral, or two numerals, should be set closed. A section on the 2-em rule (⸺) also explains that the 2-em can be used to mark an abrupt break in direct or reported speech, but a space is used before the 2-em if a complete word is missing, while no space is used if part of a word exists before the sudden break. Two examples of this are as follows (note that properly typeset 2-em and 3-em dashes should appear as a single dash, but they may show on this page as several em dashes with spaces in between):
- I distinctly heard him say, "Go away or I'll —".
- It was alleged that D— had been threatened with blackmail.
Monospaced fonts that mimic the look of a typewriter have the same width for all characters. Some of these fonts have em and en dashes that more or less fill the monospaced width they have available. For example, the sequence "hyphen, en dash, em dash, minus" shows as "- – — −
" in a monospace font.
When an actual em dash is unavailable—as in the ASCII character set—it has been approximated as a double (--) or triple (---) hyphen-minus. In Unicode, the em dash is U+2014 (decimal 8212). In HTML, one may use the numeric forms —
or —
; there is also the HTML entity —
. In TeX, the em dash may normally be input as a triple hyphen-minus (---
). On any Mac, most keyboard layouts map an em dash to ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+-. On Microsoft Windows, an em dash may be entered as Alt+0151, where the digits are typed on the numeric keypad while holding the Alt key down. It can also be entered into Microsoft Office applications by using the Ctrl+Alt+-. In the X Window System, it may be entered using the compose key by pressing the compose key and three hyphens.
Because early comic book letterers were not aware of the typographic convention of replacing a typewritten double hyphen with an em dash, the double hyphen became traditional in American comics. This practice has continued despite the development of computer lettering.[34][35]
En dash versus em dash[edit]
The en dash is wider than the hyphen but not as wide as the em dash. An em width is defined as the point size of the currently used font, since the M character is not always the width of the point size.[36] In running text, various dash conventions are employed: an em dash—like so—or a spaced em dash — like so — or a spaced en dash – like so – can be seen in contemporary publications.
Various style guides and national varieties of languages prescribe different guidance on dashes. Dashes have been cited as being treated differently in the US and the UK, with the former preferring the use of an em-dash with no additional spacing and the latter preferring a spaced en dash.[37] As examples of the US style, The Chicago Manual of Style and The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association recommend unspaced em dashes. Style guides outside the US are more variable. For example, the Canadian The Elements of Typographic Style recommends the spaced en dash – like so – and argues that the length and visual magnitude of an em dash "belongs to the padded and corseted aesthetic of Victorian typography."[38] In the United Kingdom, the spaced en dash is the house style for certain major publishers, including the Penguin Group, the Cambridge University Press, and Routledge. But this convention is not universal. The Oxford Guide to Style (2002, section 5.10.10) acknowledges that the spaced en dash is used by "other British publishers" but states that the Oxford University Press—like "most US publishers"—uses the unspaced em dash.
The en dash – always with spaces in running text when, as discussed in this section, indicating a parenthesis or pause – and the spaced em dash both have a certain technical advantage over the unspaced em dash. Most typesetting and word processing expects word spacing to vary to support full justification. Alone among punctuation that marks pauses or logical relations in text, the not spaced em dash disables this for the words it falls between. This can cause uneven spacing in the text, but can be mitigated by the use of thin spaces, hair spaces, or even zero-width spaces on the sides of the em dash. This provides the appearance of a not spaced em dash, but allows the words and dashes to break between lines. The spaced em dash risks introducing excessive separation of words. In full justification, the adjacent spaces may be stretched, and the separation of words further exaggerated. En dashes may also be preferred to em dashes when text is set in narrow columns, such as in newspapers and similar publications, since the en dash is smaller. In such cases, its use is based purely on space considerations and is not necessarily related to other typographical concerns.
On the other hand, a spaced en dash may be ambiguous when it is also used for ranges, for example, in dates or between geographical locations with internal spaces.
Horizontal bar[edit]
U+2015 ― horizontal bar, also known as a quotation dash, is used to introduce quoted text. This is the standard method of printing dialogue in some languages. The em dash is equally suitable if the quotation dash is unavailable or is contrary to the house style being used.
There is no support in the standard TeX fonts, but one can use \hbox{---}\kern-.5em---
instead, or just use an em dash.
Swung dash[edit]
U+2053 ⁓ swung dash resembles a lengthened tilde, and is used to separate alternatives or approximates. In dictionaries, it is frequently used to stand in for the term being defined. A dictionary entry providing an example for the term henceforth might employ the swung dash as follows:
- henceforth (adv.) from this time forth; from now on; "⁓ she will be known as Mrs. Wales"
There are several similar, related characters:
- U+007E ~ tilde (see below)
- U+02DC ˜ small tilde (see below)
- U+223C ∼ tilde operator, used in mathematics. Ends not curved as much regular tilde. In TeX and LaTeX, this character can be expressed using the math mode command
. - U+301C 〜 wave dash, used in East Asian typography for a variety of purposes, including Japanese punctuation.
- U+FF5E ~ fullwidth tilde, used in East Asian typography.

In other languages[edit]
In many languages, such as Polish, the em dash is used as an opening quotation mark. There is no matching closing quotation mark; typically a new paragraph will be started, introduced by a dash, for each turn in the dialog.
Corpus studies indicate that em dashes are more commonly used in Russian than in English.[39] In Russian, the em dash is used for the present copula (meaning "am"/"is"/"are"), which is unpronounced in spoken Russian.
In French, em or en dashes can be used as parentheses, except you can choose between using a second dash as a closing parenthesis, or not using one, simply closing your sentence with a period as you would in English. Dashes are, however, much less common than parentheses.
Rendering dashes on computers[edit]
Typewriters and early computers have traditionally had only a limited character set, often having no key that produces a dash. In consequence, it became common to substitute the nearest available punctuation mark or symbol. Em dashes are often represented in British usage by a single hyphen-minus surrounded by spaces, or in American usage by two hyphen-minuses surrounded by spaces.
Modern computer software typically has support for many more characters and is usually capable of rendering both the en and em dashes correctly—albeit sometimes with an inconvenient input method. Some software, though, may operate in a more limited mode. Some text editors, for example, are restricted to working with a single 8-bit character encoding, and when unencodable characters are entered—for example by pasting from the clipboard—they are often blindly converted to question marks. Sometimes this happens to em and en dashes, even when the 8-bit encoding supports them or when an alternative representation using hyphen-minuses is an option.
Any kind of dash can be used directly in an HTML document, but HTML also lets them be entered using character references. The em dash and the en dash are special in that they can be written using character entity references as —
and –
, respectively.
- In GNU/Linux, under recent versions of GTK+, there are various methods of producing these dashes. For em dashes, one may use the compose key followed by three presses of the hyphen character. For en dashes, one may press the compose key followed by two hyphens and a period. For all dashes, one may press and hold ctrl and shift and then press u (and release them all) after which an underlined u appears. Then, type the Unicode number (i.e., 2015) for the appropriate dash and press enter or the space bar. Also, other keys may be remapped to create dashes.
- In OS X using the Australian, British, Canadian, French, German, Irish, Irish Extended, Italian, Pro Italian, Russian, US, US Extended, or Welsh keyboard layout, an en dash can be obtained by typing ⌥ Opt+-, while an em dash can be typed with ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+-.[40]
- In TeX, an em dash (—) is typed as three hyphen‐minuses (
), an en dash (–) as two hyphen‐minuses (--
), and a hyphen (‐) as one hyphen‐minus (-
). Mathematical minus (−) is signified as$-$
.[41] - On Plan 9 systems, an en or em dash may be entered by pressing the Compose key (usually left Alt), followed by typing en or em respectively.
- In Microsoft Windows running on a computer whose keyboard includes a numeric keypad, an en or em dash may be typed into most text areas by using their respective Alt code by holding down the Alt key and pressing either Alt+0150 for the en dash or Alt+0151 for the em dash. The numbers must be typed on the numeric keypad with Num Lock enabled. In addition, the Character Map utility included with MS Windows can be used to copy and paste en and em dash characters into most applications—along with accented letters and other non-English language characters. It can normally be found in the System Tools folder, or the Accessories folder on MS Windows Vista. Character Map can also be opened by typing
in the run command box. - In Microsoft Word running on a computer whose keyboard has a numeric keypad, an em dash can be typed with Ctrl+Alt+- (on the numeric keypad, with the numeric hyphen usually in the top-right corner), and an en dash can be typed with Ctrl+-. This doesn't work with the hyphen key on the main keyboard (usually between "0" and "="), which has completely different functions. With Microsoft Word's default settings, in both Windows and Macintosh versions, an em dash symbol, which is not always a true em dash from the font, is automatically produced by Autocorrect when two unspaced hyphens are entered between words (as in "word--word"). An en dash, which again, is not always a true en dash from the font, is automatically produced when one or two hyphens surrounded by spaces are entered: ("word - word") or ("word -- word"). This feature can be disabled by customizing Autocorrect. Other dashes, spaces, and special characters are possible, found through the Tools menu. Unassigned symbols, such as the true minus sign, can be assigned keyboard shortcuts through the Insert menu. To determine if the true en or em dash from the font are being used rather than a cross-referenced character from the Symbol font, copy and paste samples of the dashes into a text editor such as Windows Notepad. Using the true dash is important if one ever needs to share documents with other users in other applications or operating systems.

Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert has coveted skills
BY MARK POTASH firstname.lastname@example.com April 20, 2013 1:00AM
Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert is known for his ability as a receiver, but he says he has been working hard on his blocking, too. | Getty Images
Updated: May 22, 2013 6:59AM
Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert, who got his first big chance when Kyle Rudolph suffered a season-ending injury in 2011, always seems to be at the right place at the right time.
''I'm lucky to be coming in at a time when the type of tight end that I am is being used quite a bit,'' said the 6-5, 250-pound Eifert, who won the Mackey Award as the best tight end in the country last season. ''Create mismatch problems in the passing game but also can stay in the game on every down and can also block.''
With his soft hands, the size to catch balls in traffic, a 351/2-inch vertical leap to win jump balls and a frame to grow into a steady blocker in the running game, Eifert is just about the prototype NFL offenses are using at tight end. While his stock seemed to take a hit in the aftermath of Notre Dame's disappointing performance in the BCS championship game against Alabama, his vertical leap and 4.65-second time in the 40-yard dash helped elevate him just ahead of Stanford's Zach Ertz among tight ends in the draft.
Eifert's best skills are as a receiver who can work out of the slot or as a wide receiver. But the best tight ends of his ilk are also effective blockers. And he sounds earnest in his desire to improve that part of his game.
''I strive to be a complete tight end,'' Eifert said. ''I don't think I'm there yet. But guys like Jimmy Graham, [Rob] Gronkowski, Rudolph, those guys I like to watch and see myself being similar players to them.''
As for his improved blocking . . .
''That's been what everyone said I was lacking, so I've spent a lot of time working on my blocking with coaches, working on the technique things, the little things, the footwork, hand placement,'' Eifert said. ''I think I'm better. I'm still not where I want to be. There is still a lot of room to improve. I've made a conscious effort to improve, and I think I have.''
Eifert is a popular mock-draft pick by the Packers at No. 26 in the first round, but he said he's not concerned about the type of offense he goes to.
''I never really look at it like that,'' he said at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. ''Obviously, you see the Patriots with the two tights ends and how they utilize that. An offense like that would be beneficial to me. But I'm just trying to do my best . . . and let the pieces fall where they do.''
Because the Bears signed Martellus Bennett in free agency, it might appear they have found their pass-catching tight end. But if the right guy is available at the right place in the draft — whether it's at No. 20 or No. 34 — general manager Phil Emery won't hesitate to jump at the opportunity.
At least one mock draft still has the Bears going for Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert. The Bears lost receiver Johnny Knox, who retired after missing all of last season after having spinal injury in 2011. Brandon Marshall is a Pro Bowl receiver and Alshon Jeffery showed promise as a rookie in 2012, but Emery would like to add a deep threat at wide receiver to the mix.
FIVE oF iNTEREST
Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia: At 5-8 and 175 pounds, he's one of the most intriguing players in the draft because of his raw speed (4.34 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and his Devin Hester-like ability to change direction at top speed.
Keenan Allen, WR, California: He doesn't have blazing speed, but he has big, soft hands and runs faster with the ball than without it.
Robert Woods, WR, USC: At 6-0, 200 pounds with 4.5-second speed in the 40-yard dash, Woods has excellent hands, can catch the ball in traffic and relies on instinct. He probably won't turn an offense around, but he'll be a great fit for a team with a No. 1 in place.
Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee: He's 6-4, 200 pounds, runs a 4.4-second 40-yard dash and has a 39-inch vertical leap. A team that wants to roll the dice on a deep threat can't overlook him.
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson: Coming off a big season (82 catches, 1,405 yards, 18 TDs), Hopkins has a knack for the physical aspect of the game and a mental toughness that is hard to measure.
THE tHREE bEST
Cordarelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: He's a little raw, but he has the speed (4.42 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and is dynamic with the ball in his hands. He also has big potential as a kick returner.
Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame: With his size (6-5, 250), speed (4.65 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and leaping ability (35 1/2-inch vertical leap), he's everything NFL teams are looking for in a downfield passing threat at tight end.
Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford: A virtual carbon copy of Eifert without the exceptional leaping abillity, Ertz has wide-receiver hands and is physical enough to win battles at the line of scrimmage.
THE tHREE sLEEPERS
Denard Robinson, WR, Michigan: Former star quarterback has the athletic ability (4.43 seconds in the 40-yard dash, 38 1/2-inch vertical leap) to play in the NFL, but he needs to find a spot.
Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati: Much more of a traditional tight end, but he has enough speed and desire to be productive in the right offense.
Robby Toma, WR, Notre Dame: Overshadowed with the Irish, the 5-9, 188-pound Toma plays bigger, tougher, quicker and faster than he looks.

When I first saw tofu in a Pad Thai dish, I was aghast. The odd wobblyness completely put me off - until I swallowed my pride and tried it. Surprise, surprise, I really enjoyed it! Since then, I've been using tofu in various applications - stir-fries, egg drop soup, dips, smoothies - and have had great success in getting both my carnivorous father and brother into accepting the soy product. While I've been using regular tofu for years, when I spotted Azumaya's Lite Tofu on my grocery store's shelf, I decided to give it a chance too.
I bought both a Silken and Extra Firm block, as I wanted to try each one in wildly different applications. The silken went into a blender with a frozen banana, some caramel ice cream topping, and flax seed. The result was a thick, creamy vegan smoothie that was good enough for dessert. While it did seem a bit more watery than the ones I've made with regular tofu, it was undeniably good.
The stir-fry proved a bit more problematic - I let the firm tofu drain, pressed it, and marinated it in teriyaki sauce. When I went to brown it with some noodles, it fell apart a bit as I stirred it. I still had some whole cubes, but bits and fragments of tofu were not what I was aiming for. The taste was fine, and I didn't really notice a texture difference from normal tofu.
One serving of Azumaya Lite Silken Tofu (3.2 oz) provides 40 calories, 2 grams of total fat (3% of the daily value), 45 mg sodium, 1 gram of carbohydrates and 4 grams of protein. The Extra Firm provides 60 calories, 2 grams of total fat, 30 mg sodium, 3 grams of carbohydrates which includes 1 gram of fiber, and 7 grams of protein
While this won't replace regular tofu in all applications, most will work just as well with these lite versions. A 14-oz. tub cost me just $1.20, which is an amazing deal compared to meat or dairy.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

the horn of Africa and yemen, rather than the elections? Obviously, the US
can't send troops to Somalia because of the Blackhawk down scenario and
the ugandans are one of the only semi-capable AU forces who is willing to
keep troops there. Sounds like this is a relatively low risk "thank you"
to Musaveni with a greater payoff to the US in terms of keeping US troops
out of danger, while containing the larger issue. Also keep in mind that
Africom has recently linked AQAP and AS--may be related.

so some points about why we'd be going into Uganda:
Jim and I were just discussing:
-Uganda has been very helpful with supplying forces for the AU in
Somalia, could the US be stetting up a larger point of operations
(AFRICOM main hq is stuck in Germany) to stop the spread from
Somalia/N. Kenya? This helps obama's standings in the elections (btw,
Kenya in the past has refused to do this)
---ahhhh' our port development in Tanz that hopes to link up to Uganda
(oil reserves est at 2.5 billion barrels of oil) and stream all the
way up to RSS. Ugandan Pres Museveni just this week took control of
all oil agreements to allow a transfer from Tullow to CNOOC/Total that
would include some help for building a refinery.
--Sudanese VP Taha just this week in Cairo accused Uganda of
supporting LRA in Darfur to "topple the government." Makes me think
RSS outsourced their proxy support. RSS also met with Museveni earlier
and asked for their support in entry to the EAC (lots of US support
for this group; take Hilary's word for it) just noted RSS/Uganda has
blamed Sudan for supporting LRA as well. reminds us these guys can
swing both ways---gets into Aaron's point about being disruptors of
oil deals like in Nigeria/Angola.
---UN trucks on the Uganda/DRC border were last month found to be
transferring explosives (hello corruption)
---neighbor DRC is having their elections Nov. 28 and though the
capital is verrry far away from Uganda (opposite corners in fact),
some youth militia dancing is already taking place all over the
country. There have been several warnings about closing of the
Uganda/DRC border for elections.

President Barack Obama is sending about 100 U.S. troops to
central Africa to help hunt down the leaders of the
notoriously violent Lord's Resistance Army.
"I have authorized a small number of combat-equipped U.S.
forces to deploy to central Africa to provide assistance to
regional forces that are working toward the removal of
Joseph Kony from the battlefield," Obama said in letter to
the House Speaker John Boehner and Daniel Inouye, president
pro tempore of the Senate. Obama was making a reference to
the head of the guerrilla group.
"I believe that deploying these U.S. Armed Forces furthers
U.S. national security interests and foreign policy and will
be a significant contribution toward counter-LRA efforts in
central Africa."
U.S. military personnel will advise regional forces working
to target Kony and other senior leaders. The president said
the troops will not engage Lord's Resistance Army forces
"unless necessary for self-de fense."
Obama said the United States has backed regional military
efforts since 2008 to go after the group, but these efforts
have been unsuccessful.
Obama notes that the Lord's Resistance Army "has murdered,
raped, and kidnapped tens of thousands of men, women, and
children in central Africa" and "continues to commit
atrocities across the Central African Republic, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan that have
a disproportionate impact on regional security.

Certainly didn't stop the right from banning Gay marriage which violates all three.
1st Amendment right of speech is good to a point, but it also has restrictions under law that can lead to prison. So those that think because it is set in stone because some guys wrote it at a different time when there were only 9 states, when the military was the people basically and the land unsettled are wrong.
I will keep saying it "Why should a bunch of dead guys have more influence over government than the people that live today?" They shouldn't.

(No pun intended) ...wink..
One entails the act of leading a horse to water and forcing it to drink, and the other does not.
Well I don't know about the law. I only know of the incident that could have led to that law. Ranch for a ((Fee)) that eventually led to a death of a person.
Let's face it. It has always been a slick road when government enters the mix to do things that are for "your own protection" when maybe a person doesn't want them too. It took a lot more effort for seat belt laws, to require insurance on vehicles, wearing helmets when on motorcycles and now possibly banning assault rifles to keep the amount killed down in mass attempted shootings.
I don't like paying insurance (now even healthcare required) because that even brings a third entity (private company) into my life (and they have some measure of power over it (cost) and the government let's them) . With Assault weapons it just not allowing a weapon to be purchased, it might violate freedom of sorts, but it is a little different.
The biggest question and I think the Supreme missed this point on healthcare. Isn't about freedom per say more than it is about having a third party have a controlling interest in someone else and violate those three princples by applying terms. For example maybe I want go to 1 blazer game a year, but because I now am required to have insurance that has increased in price. I can't.
Rawls believed in balance and sometimes that meant the rich needed limitations in order to help those below because it was more sustainable for our economy. Sometimes people need limits (because the needs of many outweigh the few).
Believe it ..or.. not, up until then the State of Washington hadn't felt there was enough of that particular type of commercial activity to neccessitate a law to define it as an illegal or immoral behaviour not to be condoned for profit.
Much to the chagrin of the sodomites down South, somebody up North finally came out and said it ....heY! ...there otta be a law aginst doin that kinda stuff!

VERY cute shirt!
This is a cute shirt but I ordered a small and usually wear a medium because I didn't want it to be too blousy and it is perfect! I wear a 34DD and it couldn't fit any better. Great buy!l
August 7, 2013
The product has great style
I am very happy with this blouse.I like everything about it:color, texture of fabric, and great features. I am planning to wear this blouse with white skirt. Also will be very appropriate for any occasion. It is modest and the same time has a feminine touch e.g beautiful sleeves. Bebe never disappoints me. I shop pretty often and all clothing I have purchased so far satisfied my expectations about quality of fabrics, fitting and styles. My only suggestion would be, if possible, make skirts and some dresses a little bit longer that can be worn to the church.
May 17, 2013
Great top
I love the bright red color and the versatility of this top. Can be worn to work or to go out. Very comfortable.
May 5, 2013
Unique red top!
I really love the fact that this peasant top has a unique tie to the side for some slight edge. I also love the fact that while the arms are sexy sheer, the chest area isn't as much, so a bra or cami can be worn with no issues. I have a coral/red coral necklace that goes perfectly with this, and I plan to wear it with either a long maxi skirt or skinny jeans.
May 3, 2013
Nice blouse but it is not as pink as shown on my computer. More like a light tan.
February 10, 2013
Elegant style, color NOT pink as picured
I?m 5?4? 120 lbs 34D and generally wear a bebe XS or S depending on the style (and the occasion). Purchased this in a small. It runs true to size and hits nicely between the wait and hip. However, the color is NOT as pictured. This is not a light pink / dusty rose color... it's a beige-brown color. Not really even a hint of pink.

JENSEN: Cutler reinforces the point of just how important he is to Bears
BY SEAN JENSEN email@example.com November 25, 2012 9:52PM
Jay Cutler scrambles in the first quarter of the Bears' 28-10 victory. Cutler went 23-for-31 for 188 yards and was sacked once. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Related Stories
Updated: December 27, 2012 6:19AM
Six days after watching a rout from his couch, quarterback Jay Cutler looked and sounded like a new — if not, at least, a renewed — man Sunday at Soldier Field.
Cutler played "fiery," receiver Brandon Marshall noted, appearing more animated than usual, even drawing a taunting penalty for flipping the ball at Minnesota Vikings cornerback A.J. Jefferson at the conclusion of a five-yard run. The numbers don't do justice to the yeoman-like performance of Cutler, who tied offensive tackle J'Marcus Webb's shoe in the fourth quarter (seriously) and might have re-taped Charles Tillman's ankle on the sideline (kidding).
"He was fired up," Marshall said of Cutler, who missed the 32-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a concussion. "His balls had a lot of zip on them all week. He wanted it perfect in practice, and it showed in the game.
"It transferred over because he was on fire."
In the Bears' 28-10 victory over the Vikings, Cutler completed 23 of 31 passes for just 188 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The lone sack came on the second offensive play, when he tripped over center Roberto Garza's foot.
And while the legacy of Cutler in Chicago isn't complete, he reinforced his importance to the Bears both in his absence last Monday and in his presence Sunday.
He avoided a handful of sacks, most notably in the first quarter, when defensive end Everson Griffen barreled toward him, unblocked. Cutler sidestepped him, and, as he was being pulled down, completed a four-yard pass to running back Matt Forte near the sideline.
He also zipped some passes into narrow crevices, the sort of attempts reminiscent of Brett Favre. Ironically, on a day when Cutler completed 74.2 percent of his passes, including 15 of 17 in the first half, he missed the mark when Marshall was wide open early in the third quarter.
"The windows get small sometimes when you go against teams that really know how to play cover-2, and we knew it was going to be small windows," Marshall said. "When you have a quarterback like Jay Cutler, there is no hole too small."
It was hard not to recall last season, when the Bears crumbled after a 7-3 start and finished 8-8 without Cutler in the lineup. But Cutler missed just one game after suffering a concussion in a 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans, and he keyed a must-win game against the Vikings.
After another slow start, Cutler completed an 11-yard pass to receiver Earl Bennett on third-and-six and fired a 15-yarder to tight end Kellen Davis that set up a one-yard touchdown run by Michael Bush. On a nearly 11-minute, 80-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, Cutler converted two third-down passes and benefitted from a 24-yard pass-interference penalty drawn by Marshall, setting up another Bush touchdown from a yard out.
"Jay is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, so everyone needs their star quarterback playing," coach Lovie Smith said. "Of course, we are no different. We expected him to give us a boost. I thought he played outstanding ball."
What was most encouraging was what Cutler said after the game, that he recognizes what he and the offense must do, especially with several offensive linemen injured Sunday.
Asked if his approach changes, Cutler said, "Absolutely.
"When you have a line of new guys in there, I want to get rid of the ball fast, find my first read and take it."
Cutler mentioned limiting sacks, running the ball better and possibly designing routes to "shorten things up."
With that mind-set from Cutler, the Bears may have a fighting chance at a deep playoff run.

Baseball February 12th, 2010
How many times have you read this statement during the offseason? "(Team) signed ______ to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training." 100? 200? All your favorite ex-Brewers like Frank Catalanotto and Seth McClung got these types of deals and the Brewers partook in the practice quite a bit as well. By my account there is at least 13 players headed to spring training for the Brewers, but there may be more. Some might make the team, some might disappear and some might head on down to Nashville. We're still a couple of months from those decisions being made and right now there is just a gaggle of veterans working out in hopes of making the team. Their probably all just home working out in preparation for the season right now, but what if they weren't? What if they were all just chatting on the internet? Read the rest of this entry »

Does it seem to you they have broadened the scope of Deathwatch assignments? Formerly, in the canon fluff the Deathwatch spacemarines were sent out only to combat xenos. From the description for this new book, however, we can glean that now they not just have aliens but also heretics and Chaos to contend with!
This seems okay as combating solely aliens would rob players of a lot of W40K background. However, I do wonder what the difference with Dark Heresy would be, where acolytes also work against these three threats - heretics, xenos and chaos - but I take it the new game will be a lot more combat-oriented.
