SMX West Keynotes Focus On "Future of Search"
It's probably no shock that the keynotes at Search Marketing Expo – SMX West in Santa Clara in February are going to be about the future of search marketing and technologies.
SearchEngineLand's own Danny Sullivan will kick off SMX West with "Search 3.0, Search 4.0 and Beyond." He'll discuss the implications of blended search (Search 3.0), personalized and social search (Search 4.0), and what's next for search and search marketing technologies.
SMX West attendees will also get some hints about new search technologies in the works at Cuill, a stealth search start-up with former Googlers as founders. Vice president of products Louis Monier will describe efforts at Cuill to set new standards in search, in addition to providing perspective on developments in the field. Monier is a search technology pioneer, having founded Alta Vista in 1995 and later leading teams at both eBay and Google.
"While there are many search start-ups, the veteran brainpower behind Cuill makes anyone take notice. Cuill's been careful not to hype itself, to the degree few know much about it. SMX West attendees will be among the first to learn more about Cuill's plans, plus hear Louis's insights on search," Sullivan said.
The day-three keynote will be "Generation Next: Search In The Coming Decade," a panel discussion with luminaries from the major search engines predicting where they see search headed. This session will be moderated by SearchEngineLand's Chris Sherman and SEMPO Chairperson Gord Hotchkiss.

Missy4 Stars Out Of 5Great giftDecember 26, 2014MissyI haven't watched it myself as I gave it as a gift to my 14 yr old granddaughter for Christmas. I haven't heard her feedback yet. I am grateful to have Christian videos/books to share with her as her immediate family doesn't focus on faith much. It's an easy evangelism tool and hopefully an open door to a relationship with Jesus.
Kody3 Stars Out Of 5Both movies were goodDecember 15, 2014KodyOut of both of these movies, I preferred Hidden Secrets. I would not call either of these movies box office hits but they were enjoyable. Would I watch them again? Probably not. They did not have the WOW factor like some of the other Christian movies that I have watched in the past. They were okay.

Sometimes we as Christians come across to non-Christians this way. We serve an Awesome & Forgiving God. He knows we are not perfect and still loves and forgives us! We also think that other people's sins are worse than our own. In God's eyes; sin is sin. It separates us from fellowship with Him. This is a must see movie!!!! Thank you Lord for being a Perfect God & seeing us through Your Son's blood!

does anybody else think that darius is played too much to not have a few good skins? i love the champion but i dont really like the "Lord Darius" skin that much, so i want some ideas on skins for darius. if we are lucky, then some fan art will be made of darius and riot will get a hold of it. so dont be shy, post some ideas for darius skins. here is just one of my ideas that is slightly inspired. what about sergeant smash? he could be a military figure because he is actually (if you read the lore). he could wear an outfit like a U.S army sergeant... but still have his axe, ofcourse, so why not have sergeant smash be an element in the game?
Senior Member
I find it funny that Riot held back the Norse King skin on merit of "quality releases" but releases him with the horrible Lord Darius skin.
I thought the point of the Lord skin was to acknowledge the people who thought Darius looked like Hector. http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Hector About other skins, you know, the Crimson Elite is looking for members.

[I didn't write the this trailer music though :3].
And that's not all ...! Today ...

Found this little place down a side street just of the main area in Katowice, a little gem, food was lovely and the staff friendly and very helpful, if I had any type of criticism it was a bit noisy, but that's just a reflection of how popular this place is with the locals and didn't really bother us
This is somewhere I often head to to catch a football match with a few mates. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is good and they know how to pour a pint!
Good for date and business meetings. Good food, great choice of single malts and good english speaking service. You must visit Spencer if you're in Katowice.
Drinks and food were great very busy but great service, wanted to watch football and they put it on tv for us . Drink menu good , great location
Spencer maintains the feeling of the real English pub, but with the menu much much better and richer. Food is of fusion kind, but coming from the clean and consistent chef's idea, not from the lack of inspiration, what often happens to "fusionists". Service is friendly and professional, prices are moderate. The owner keeps eye on everything, and is present... More
Been there for a couple of times and I have a feeling it gets worse every year. The place is clean, the style and decor are OK. You can have beer (good, but only 3 draughts available), wine (just OK, nothing special) or drinks (can recommend fruit drinks with or without alcohol). The food is basically OK, but not cheap.... More
Read some good reviews (which I now think are a bit suspect) about this pub and was looking forward to going there. Found the food to be priced way higher than anywhere we had eaten in Poland and when the waitress came up to take our order she said someone had phoned up and asked if they could have our... More
The food menu is second to none in Katowice obviously selected from around the world. Offering incredible steaks and a range of whisky's to die for. The bar staff and waitresses all speak English. Great to see the non smoking rule is upheld by the responsible owner and manager. So the atmosphere is clean and air conditioned
English pub, I remember about 8 years ago had his pub in another place. Before the premises was a real English double decker bus. Very original decor (as in the UK), cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Most recommend eating steak with green pepper. Who does not like English food can go out for a while to Thai restaurant - located... More

Fleetwood skipper Mark Roberts is confident the team can kick on again and compete in League One next season.
The Cod Army booked a spot in next year's third tier after Antoni Sarcevic's freak free-kick delivered victory over Burton in the League Two play-off final at Wembley on Sunday as they clinched a remarkable sixth promotion in 10 seasons.
Central defender Roberts knows about both playing in that division and the euphoria of multiple promotions in a short period of time after leading Stevenage to back-to-back elevations in 2010 and 2011.
And he is confident that the winning mentality which has surrounded Highbury over the past decade stands them in good stead for the new campaign.
"People will say it's tough but I found when I went up with Stevenage that my game went on a level," Roberts, whose team beat four League One clubs in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy this season, said.
"I was surrounded by players that were determined to prove themselves, prove they were more than a match for League One opposition and we found ourselves in the play-offs.
"Anything can happen if you've got the belief. You've got to believe before you can achieve. I look at that dressing room and I'm surrounded by players who've got unbelievable ability but also that drive, that character, that personality that you need to keep improving.
"We don't want to stand still and we don't want to go up there and make up the numbers. We're not going to try and think too far ahead but I'm sure once the summer's gone and pre-season starts the gaffer's going to look for us all to kick on."
Fleetwood were the only side out of the 12 teams in the play-offs not to concede en route to promotion, an achievement which meant a lot to Roberts, central-defensive partner Nathan Pond and goalkeeper Chris Maxwell, who ended the campaign with a staggering 27 clean sheets in 48 games.
"It's the one thing I said to Pondy before the game: make sure we do our job and keep a clean sheet," Roberts added.
"We know we've got that solid foundation which we've shown particularly in the second half of the season. We've got the players who can hurt other teams, we've got match-winners all over the pitch and that has shown with Sarc's free-kick.
"At the start of the year we were probably seen as a flair team and one that was exciting to watch and who scored lots of goals. But you need to win in a number of different ways and that's one of the ways we've evolved as a football team. That's a really good sign, that's what all the successful teams do so well."

GatorNation position breakdown: ILB
By Michael DiRocco
Editor's note: Every Tuesday and Thursday through Jan. 31, 2013, GatorNation will break down each position. We'll look at 2013, of course, but also try and give you a peek beyond next season, too. Today is inside linebacker. We will profile cornerbacks on Jan. 1.
Middle linebacker Jon Bostic has played a major role on Florida's defense for four seasons.
Jon Bostic
is the starter and he is backed up by redshirt sophomore
Michael Taylor
. Bostic has started 25 consecutive games and is third on the team with 62 tackles. He also has 3.0 sacks, two interceptions, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. Taylor has 29 tackles and 1.0 sack.
Next up:
The Gators don't have any other true middle linebackers on the roster. Bostic has been so durable that depth hasn't been an issue. The Allstate Sugar Bowl against Louisville will be his final game.
High-profile commits:
James Hearns
(Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln) is the only inside linebacker commit the Gators have. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound four-star recruit is a member of the ESPN 300 and is the No. 10 inside linebacker prospect. He's a big, strong, physical player who excels at stopping the run but is athletic enough to stay on the field on passing downs.
Additional targets:
The Gators are pursuing
Trey Johnson
of Lawrenceville, Ga./Central Gwinnett. The 6-1, 215-pound Johnson is the nation's No. 2 inside linebacker prospect. He is scheduled to visit Florida in January. UF coach Will Muschamp would love to sign another inside linebacker if possible.
Looking into 2013:
The Gators aren't deep at inside linebacker. Taylor should inherit the starting job, and Hearns and Johnson -- if they sign -- will get plenty of playing time. UF has been spoiled with the run of middle linebackers it has had for more than a decade: Brandon Siler, Brandon Spikes and Bostic. Taylor isn't close to that level. He's fine against the run but struggles in pass coverage and can't be an every-down linebacker. Another option would be shuffling guys around, with Jenkins or possibly OLB
Antonio Morrison
(provided he gains some weight) playing inside.

This tutorial is intended for technical audiences interested in learning about the Lucas-Kanade (LK) tracker, also known as the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) tracker. Invented in the early 80s, this method has been widely used to estimate pixel motion between two consecutive frames. Dedeoglu presents how the LK tracker works and discuss its advantages, limitations, and how to make it more robust and useful. Using DSP-optimized functions from TI's Vision Library (VLIB), he also shows how to detect feature points in real-time and track them from one frame to the next using the LK algorithm.

"This town ain't big enough for the both of us": Can your brand say this with full conviction to a competitor?
Picture this: You're the town biggie. Everyone loves you, at least you think they do – enter the new guy. How do you know you stand a chance?
The same goes for your business and your customers. Do you just think they love you, or do they really?
To stay visible and known to new consumers, you have to depend on marketing to 'mark your territory'. Your competitor has one thing going for it – its novelty. Combine that with competitive pricing, and you could be in trouble. Can you guarantee that your customers will remain loyal to your brand for long?
There's only one way to find out: Ask them. Read more

You have ended your thread shouting Please help...urgent, yet you have not given us anything to go on except two laptops. It would help for instance to know what particular use you would be putting the PC to.
It would seem that the Lenovo has the better CPU. Compare. But the Dell has the better graphics card.
So again I make the point what will the laptops main use be?

I'll be working on CAD softwares like CATIA, PRO-E, UGX, ANSYS, etc. on a beginner level. I won't play games.
How about Lenovo S-400 with 2nd Gen Core i3 1.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, 1 GB (ATI Seymour XT HD7450), 14 inch. Will it be able to handle average work load? According to me, cons of this ultraslim laptop are:- - RAM is upgradable upto 4 GB only. - It has 4 cell battery. - No optical drive. - Screen size is 14 inch.

I really think that 14 inch is too small for your needs plus with those programs I think more RAM is preferable.

My main concerns are 14" display and battery life.

The S400's cpu, if it is the i3-2365 at 1.4, isn't as good as the first 2. Do you need what is a very portable laptop. I would go for at least 15" screen.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed against the decision of the Indian anti-doping disciplinary panels in the Nirupama Devi doping case.
The Manipur judoka was given a mere reprimand by the disciplinary panel in July last in a methylhexaneamine case.
The decision, the first of its kind in MHA cases in the country, was upheld by the National Anti-Doping Appeal panel (NADAP) in September.
The mildest punishment under Article 10.4 ('specified substances') was given on the argument that the judoka used VLCC beauty aid products that contained geranium, which in turn was the source of MHA.
The products, ranging from bathing soap to face pack, were not tested to find out whether they contained MHA. It was taken for granted that since the product labels mentioned geranium and since geranium was supposed to contain MHA, the athlete had established how the banned substance entered her body. Recent studies have questioned the assumption that geranium oil and geranium root extract etc. contained MHA. Several countries have banned supplements containing MHA on the argument that it was not a plant product. This is the second instance of an Indian doping case being taken to CAS since the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) became effective in January, 2009. This is the first time the WADA has appealed in the CAS in an Indian case. Last July, the CAS had handed down two-year suspensions to six Indian woman 400m runners after they were given one-year bans by the national panels. — Special Correspondent

Exclusive! Elizabeth Olsen On What Scares Her The Most
It seems that everyone in the world wants a piece of the Olsen empire—except for one person. Call her "The Other Olsen."
Elizabeth Olsen didn't ask her famed twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley for a career booster shot. The star of the hit Martha Marcy May Marlene and Silent House did it on her own.
"Everyone has to go it alone at some point. I just started out that way," says Olsen. "I also know that if I ever did need to ask for help, my sisters would be there – 100 percent there."
At age 23, Olsen is one of Hollywood's newest movers and shakers. She already knows how to play the game. She already knows to avoid talking about her private life. She won't address rumors that she's dating hot True Blood actor, Alexander Skarsgard. "Oh, I'm not going to start talking about my personal life at all or addressing rumors like that," she counters. Alexander Skarsgard Only Lasts 8 Seconds In Bed
Over tea at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Olsen wears a flowing floor-length leopard skirt and a slouchy beige sweater. Her long blonde hair falls in long waves around her shoulders. She's happy to talk about her new scare fare Silent House, in which she plays a young woman cleaning out a summerhouse with her father and uncle. Soon, she finds that a strange force is stalking her.
Here, Olsen fills us in on the first film to be portrayed in 88 real-time minutes.
Word is this movie is the first time you've ever seen yourself on the big screen.
It's true. I never saw Marcy May. I sat so low in my chair praying, "Please, please don't look at me. I hope no one notices I'm here!" It's so weird in a horror movie – people actually laugh because they're uncomfortable, which freaked me out. I was dealing with a lot of firsts hunkered down in my chair: first time seeing myself, first time seeing me in a horror film, and I'm in virtually every frame of the movie.
Did you get this job because of your amazing performance in Marcy May?
I got this job by saying, "Hi, I've only done two movies. I'm ready to audition. Please give me a job!" I'm a big horror movie fan. I love things that get your heart racing. The film with 88 minutes in real time sounded like an amazing challenge and very difficult to do.
Are you someone who is scared easily?
I do have a very fatalistic imagination. It's not that things scare me easily, I can just imagine very dark things, very fast. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's Kids Left In The Dark On Oscar Night
How did you prepare for the role?
I really studied people who dealt with trauma who ended up having multiple personality disorder. They block things out and then reveal the past to themselves in traumatic ways. Of course, some people go through life with this big scar. They never remember. They block it out forever.

Does anyone know if the Rotterdam provides a "Welcome Aboard" lunch (buffet) during embarkation?
Re: Rotterdam
I'm sure they do, I've seen it on every ship I've been on, including Princess, Celebrity, and HAL. Enjoy your cruise! I wanted to sail Rotterdam in 2002 but just today booked a Flash Sale Alaska on Amsterdam for June 1st. I just returned a month ago from a 2-week Hawaii cruise so - only 6 months to cruising again!! What a great feeling!!

New Personal best for me and the car
Off the trailer it went a 9.83 after I remembered to shift (first pass was a 9.90 on the limiter for quite a while when I forgot to make the 1-2 shift..lol) Played with timing a little but it ran 3 passes all 9.86-9.89. Decided to pull the exhaust and was rewarded with a 9.76, hot lapped it and went another .76 I was on the limiter at the end of the track so I raised it and my shift points and the car went a 9.73 @ 138.60, tried to improve on that but the air was getting worse, it went a 9.74 and I loaded it. 9 passes for the night. Thanks to everyone that came out!!

Brined Maple Turkey with Cream Gravy
From MyRecipes.com
Brining makes for a juicier bird, and the subtle flavors of the brine soak into the turkey. Kosher salt works well for the brine because it dissolves more easily than table salt. If you have time and refrigerator space, the brining procedure is worthwhile. If not, the turkey will still be quite good.

- 3/4 cup(s) maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon(s) black peppercorns
- 8 clove(s) garlic, crushed
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 (12-pound) fresh or thawed frozen turkey
- 1 cup(s) cola
- 1/2 cup(s) maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon(s) minced fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon(s) dried rubbed sage
- 1 tablespoon(s) poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- 4 clove(s) garlic, chopped
- 2 onions, quartered
- Cooking spray
- 1 can(s) (14 1/2-ounce) fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup(s) whole milk
- 2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- To prepare brine, combine first 6 ingredients in a large stockpot, stirring until salt dissolves.
- To prepare turkey, remove and reserve giblets and neck from turkey. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Add turkey to pot, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours, turning occasionally. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bring cola and 1/2 cup syrup to a boil in a small saucepan; cook 1 minute. Combine thyme,sage,seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Remove turkey from brine, discarding brine; pat dry. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Rub thyme mixture under loosened skin; sprinkle inside body cavity. Place 4 garlic cloves and onions in body cavity. Tie ends of legs together with twine. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under turkey.
- Place turkey on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Insert a meat thermometer into meaty part of a thigh, making sure not to touch bone. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes. Pour cola mixture over turkey; cover with foil. Bake an additional 1 hour and 45 minutes or until thermometer registers 180 degrees F. Remove turkey from pan, reserving drippings for gravy. Place turkey on a platter. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 10 minutes. Remove twine. Discard skin.
- To prepare gravy, while turkey bakes, combine reserved giblet and neck and the broth in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Strain mixture through a colander into a bowl, discarding solids.
- Place a zip-top plastic bag inside a 2-cup glass measure. Pour pan drippings into bag; let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top).
- Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into broiler pan, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; discard fat. Add broth mixture. Place broiler pan on stovetop over medium heat, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Combine milk and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk; add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Strain gravy through a sieve into a bowl. Discard solids. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Nutritional information is based on 6 ounces turkey and about 1/4 cup gravy.

Mixed Media Pink Collage
By: Lisa Fulmer
Looking for new hand craft techniques? Make a Mixed Media Pink Collage from Lisa Fulmer. You can get as creative as you like when making this happy, fun project.
- 12x12 sheet of heavy white board
- Chalk ink pads
- Glitter glue
- Transluscent paper
- Lutradur
- Liquitex
- I started with a 12x12 sheet of heavy white board that was debossed with dots, and painted it with seven different pastel chalk ink pads, which glided over the debossed dots nicely, leaving them whiter.
- I collaged some inchies that my friend Lisa made with glitter glue, tissue, translucent paper, punchinella with white flake medium, painted and melted lutradur, plus punched circles of metallic and velvet papers.
- The finishing touch was liquitex pouring medium to create drizzles of swirls and drops of pearls. I used a heat gun after the medium was dry to bubble it up in some spots.

I read a few earlier posts about the rumbling noise coming from the rear end in order to determine what was wrong with my truck.
Today, I finally went to the dealer regarding the rumbling noise and I wanted to share the info I learned regarding my 2006 Tacoma. This noise just recently started after having the dealer service the differentials and transfer case at approximately 40,000 miles. Currently, I have 43,000 miles on the truck and everytime I make sharp turns and hit the accelerator, the truck makes a horrible rumbling sound, almost as if the rear differential has a severe bind inside.
After continued driving, the truck also made the same noise in reverse. I decided it was time to go to the dealership today. Fortunately, the dealership replicated the problem with ease. In fact, three different mechancis took the truck for a test drive to try and determine the issue at hand.
After nearly an hour of waiting, I was informed that the dealership was on the phone to Toyota of California (apparently the technician help line). This was simply because they could not determine the fix for this issue. Eventually, the service advisor informed me that Toyota of California recommended that 2 additional bottles of friction modifier be added to the rear differential and that this rumbling noise is "normal".
After hearing this, I disputed the "normal" comment, however I figured I need to jump through these hoop and see what happens. Keep in mind that I have nearly 15,000 more miles of powertrain warranty, or a little more than a year left. So, the dealership added the 2 additional bottles of friction modifier and now the rumbling noise is gone. To be honest, the rear seems to be very smooth now.
I will say that the dealership told me they will not guarantee this fixes the problem, but it is worth a try. This is because Toyota will not simply replace the rear end on the truck without a little bit of troubleshooting.
My frustration is that none of this happened until after the rear differntial was serviced. And, I know for a fact that friction modifier was added at the time of service because the service advisor informed me of it upon handing me the invoice for the work.
I am hoping this corrects the problem. From what I understand, if it reappears, it will do so within about another 4,000 miles. Let's just hope this provides some of you other Tacoma owners with some dealership advice.
I am so happy I had the Toyota dealership do the differential fluid change. That was the first concern of theirs...the fluid needed changed. Too bad it already was changed...by them!

Sea Turtles Found Dead on Shore
Friday, February 11, 2011 - 9:06am
The frigid temperatures during the night have killed over a dozen turtles on South Padre Island.
The turtles were found on Thursday morning and representative from Sea Turtle Inc say some might have died from hypothermia because of the drastic drop of the waters temperature or others have washed up dead from last week's cold front. A crew from the center will be heading to the beach in search of any more turtles that may wash up.

A Deeper Look At GRIII's Offensive Struggles
Too many of these (Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog)
There's no question Glenn Robinson III is off to a rough start in his sophomore season. Tasked with creating more offense in the absence of Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., he's struggled to do so, and his efficiency has plunged—he's shooting 44% from the field after hitting 57% of his shots last year. In Michigan's three losses, representing three of the four toughest teams they've played, he's all but disappeared, and only one of those (Charlotte, against which he played nine minutes before exiting the game after falling on his back) can be explained away by mitigating circumstances.
In a highly recommended stat-based look at Michigan's offensive issues so far this year, UMHoops cited a major reason for GRIII's regression—his lack of attempts at the rim [emphasis mine]:
Last year Robinson attempted 43.5% of his field goals at the rim and converted at a 78% rate. You remember those plays: Trey Burke penetrates and finds Robinson creeping along the baseline for an alley-oop or Robinson leaks out for an easy dunk in transition. Robinson was among the best finishers in the country a year and was the 10th most efficient offensive player in the country because of it.
This year, just 21.4% of Robinson's field goal attempts have come at the rim. He's finishing at an improved 88.9% rate but the opportunities aren't nearly as plentiful. That's a major problem because that's what Robinson does best.
Above all else, this is the clear issue with Robinson this year; without Burke—and to a lesser extent, Hardaway—commanding the full attention of opposing defenses, the easy looks that were there last year aren't happening this year, and Robinson's attempts to create his own offense haven't been nearly as effective.
In an effort to expand on this, I went back to the Iowa State game film—the only game in which Michigan faced a quality opponent, GRIII played extensively and commanded at least 15% of the team's possessions, and the opposing defense wasn't face-guarding Nik Stauskas—to see how his shots were created. This is every shot attempt and turnover by Robinson before Michigan was down multiple possessions in the final two minutes; you should see a common thread:
Most of Robinson's attempts are happening in transition, obviously. When Michigan was in their halfcourt offense, he was almost entirely a non-factor. A few more observations from the tape above and this season as a whole after THE JUMP.
[JUMP for stat wonkery, what's not working, and reasons for hope.]
Mailbag: Slowing Down Offenses, Henry At NT, Smith Vs Green, #1 Jersey, Onside Piracy
As I sit here watching Missouri and Auburn roll up and down the field, with the only defense being turnovers, I'm wondering what can be done to curtail the wave of offense in football so that defenses have a chance again. Maybe people are fine with all of the offense, but it seems like it is so tough to play defense (get held on nearly every play, called one in 30 times) that I would love to see something to help even things up without drastically changing the game (such as 3 downs instead of 4 or having to go 15 yards for a first down instead of 10, etc.). I think I figured out a simple change that may help: with offenses spread out to make one on one match-ups all over the place, what if there is a rule that all of the offensive players have to line up between the numbers? This wouldn't be such a drastic change and it would allow defenses to be a little less spread out at the snap.
What do you think?
A loyal reader,
Despite the attempt to not seem drastic, that seems kind of drastic. That would affect a lot of teams from spread to, uh, concentrate. And I'm not even sure what the impact would be. If teams just stack two guys up at the numbers is that better or worse? It doesn't seem to have a huge impact. Apologies, but thumbs down.
If we're going to change football to slow down the offenses, my suggestion is to simplify and liberalize pass interference by making it a (nearly) arms-only offense. I can't stand it when a defender gets nailed for the WR trying to run through him; some of these back shoulder things are basically prayer ducks relying on the fact that the DB isn't looking and hoping he'll run over the DB. In the hypothetical world where I am king, whiskey is free and pass interference is a thing that can only happen when a defensive back uses his arms in an unfair fashion or blows a guy up early. No more of this stuff where the DB is running in a direction and the WR changes his path such that the DB is now impeding the WR. You have a right to your momentum. In exchange, offenses can have full NFL penalties for flagrant you-tackled-that-guy offenses.
Not that any of this will do much to slow down Auburn, which just runs and runs and runs and runs. They beat Alabama and their QB threw for 97 yards. They got outgained by 100 yards, but they also ran for 5.7 yards a carry against Alabama. It boggles the mind.
Moving Willie Henry?
OK, there are many candidates to play the DT next year, but few candidates to play NT if Pipkins doesn't come back strong after injury. You and others are very high on Henry at DT, but I haven't seen him mentioned at a possible NT. His weight and height look fine, but is there something about his build that makes him not well suited to play the nose?
Henry is a very plausible NT with his size and strength. Michigan lists him at 6'2", 306, which is about ideal NT size, and we've seen him throw away more than one OL this year. In an ideal world, Pipkins is full-go by late spring and playing well in fall camp, allowing Henry to continue doing his thing at three-tech.
But if that's not happening I bet we do see Henry slide over to the nose. Michigan's other options there are Richard Ash and redshirt freshman Maurice Hurst Jr, which doesn't sound too appealing. At three tech, Strobel, Poggi, and Glasgow are returning and Michigan has the option of bumping either Godin or Wormley down from SDE with Beyer the projected starter there.
A Henry move is 50/50 right now.

Green was getting more PT for a reason. Was that recruiting hype? [Fuller]
Hokepoints of the Perdue Wonderchicken
I write this column once a year to implore college football fans to use a standard, common, descriptive set of names for the bowl games. Try saying "Copper" instead of "Buffalo Wild Wings" for the next month, and just imagine the savings!!!
In the pantheon of annoyances, I admit that companies paying somebody to make you use their name out of context is far less destructive than, say, a university trading scholastic loans as private securities and then jacking up tuition so shareholders can make more money.
Still, it is annoying. The purpose of language is the communication of ideas, and elegance in this is a thing everybody should appreciate. Names are communicative tools that allow the listener to reference all information stored on that thing. When speaking to another college football fan, the name of the bowl ought to conjure up its history and location and place in the pantheon. A name sponsor is a jerk who butts into the middle of your conversation…
: Hey, Carol-Sue. Guess what: I just bought tickets to the…
: Oh that's nice. I have no idea what or where that is.
: You know, Big Ten teams play in it now but it had WAC teams in the '90s.
: Wait, the one they used to play at Arizona right? Wasn't that the…
: Yeah, that's it. Remember when Iowa played in the…
…and makes communication of the idea more difficult. Adding syllables (they couldn't call it the B-Dubs Bowl?) adds to the annoyance. It is cold here during bowl season, so I prefer to not expend what limited body heat I have in vocalizing "The Yushityu 2007 Mimetic-Resolution-Cartridge-View-Motherboard-Easy-To-Install-Upgrade For Infernatron/InterLace TP Systems For Home, Office Or Mobile Bowl."*
What to Call Them?
Typically unless it's an older bowl just use the name of the city they play in, and if there are multiple bowls in a city start adding numbers (Tampa II, Cotton II, etc.) If everybody knows a bowl as something because it has been called that for decades, obviously use that.
After [the jump] I'll put up a handy chart of the current bowl slate, complete with sounds you can make to accurately relate meaning to another human, and commercial-free graphics that can do the same. You can keep that open as a tab on your phone or whatever as a reference this month.
2015 Names To Watch: Reagan Williams
Position: Linebacker/Tight End
Ht/Wt: 6'3" / 232 lbs.
Location: Jackson High School – Jackson, OH
Offers: Kent State, Ohio
Ranking: ★★★ .8599 (247 Composite)
Linebacker/Tight end prospect Reagan Williams was one of many recruits to attend The Game at The Big House a couple of weekends ago and I was able to chat with him about that a little bit. Williams is being recruited by most schools as a linebacker but the Michigan coaches appear to have a fondness for him at the tight end spot. Williams was a very nice kid to talk to and had some great things to say about his visit to Ann Arbor.
He was not shy at all about how much he enjoyed his visit to The Big House by saying, "It was awesome! One of my best visits yet." He actually claimed it was a tie between Michigan and Michigan State. Not bad considering his other visits include trips to Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Cincinnati, and Louisville, among a few others.
The coaches in particular stuck out to Reagan while he was on his visit.
The coaching staff was very, very personable. I talked to every single position coach and they really made it feel like they have a family atmosphere with their players. The Big House was insane as well.
Reagan is an extremely intelligent kid, boasting a 4.0 GPA and a very respectable ACT score of 26, and that was easy to sense when I asked him if he had any type of affinity for his home-state Buckeyes. (Normally I wouldn't post a test score like that but he's proud of it and wants it to be public. It's part of his profile on his HUDL link.)
I'm a big Buckeye fan. I have been since I was a little kid, but recruiting changes your outlook on a lot of things as far as seeing what every school has to offer. If Ohio State offered it would definitely be something that would be seriously considered. It hasn't happened yet though so I can't totally describe the emotions that would be involved.
I was surprised by how much he admitted to liking the Buckeyes, while at the same time ranking his Michigan visit above their rivals from Ohio.
Every visit has it's pros and cons, but it seemed that the Michigan visit was VERY well organized.
As mentioned above the coaches have talked to Reagan about playing a fullback/h-back type of position because they really like how physical he is on both sides of the ball. Reagan says he doesn't really have a preference he just wants to play wherever it helps his team the most.
When I asked him about his plans for his senior season, Williams said all of the right things about wanting to excel in the classroom, work toward a state championship, and develop a strong relationship with a coaching staff from a school that fits well for him. When it comes to fit, he said he must play for a coach and a team that has a strong tradition of defense and an emphasis on physicality. He doesn't understand how the game can be played any other way. Pretty much the exact sentiment you'd expect from a fullback/linebacker.
With Michigan's 2015 class being so limited on scholarships the staff has already informed Reagan that he is being evaluated but they have to be meticulous with who they offer. The coaches did say that they'd like to check Williams out in person sometime during the spring.
At the end of our conversation it came up that Williams is a die-hard Patriots and Tom Brady fan and that he was awestruck by Brady's speech to Team 134 earlier this season. It's pretty clear that the Michigan coaches have done well with Williams thus far, but if they and the Buckeyes get more involved in his recruitment, it sounds entirely realistic that the Wolverines could be on the outside looking in.
Monday Recruitin' Ponders Visits
Michigan Offers Sills, Settle
Michigan offered two 2015 prospects over the weekend; one came as no surprise at all, while the other was somewhat unexpected.
The former is five-star VA DT Tim Settle, who had rave reviews of Michigan after he visited for the Notre Dame game; with Hjalte Froholdt going off the board to Arkansas last week, Settle was at the top of the board for available DTs. Settle will have his choice of just about any program in the country, and while the Wolverines made a strong early impression, they likely have some catching up to do now that the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC have come through with offers of their own.
The latter is Eastern Christian Academy QB David Sills, whose name should be familiar to you for two reasons: first, he notably committed to USC—then coached by Lane Kiffin—at the age of 13; second, he's teammates with U-M commits Freddy Canteen and Brandon Watson at ECA, the football-centric school founded by Sills' father. TomVH notes that there's another Michigan connection here:
On the David Sills offer, he trains with Steve Clarkson who also trains Wilton Speight. Clarkson and Borges have known each other for years
— Tom VanHaaren (@TomVH) December 6, 2013
Five-star CA prospect Josh Rosen is the only other 2015 quarterback with an offer; while he's recently expressed some interest in a visit to Ann Arbor after previously saying that wouldn't happen, he's very much a longshot. Although Sills hadn't been talked about as a prospect under serious consideration for the next offer, it's clear he's the #2 guy on the board, and per TomVH the coaches will have to wait and see if he's willing to open up his recruitment after the coaching change at USC ($):
According to his father, Sills wants to wait and talk with [USC head coach Steve] Sarkisian before making any decisions or commenting on his status. Sills' father believes it is too early to comment or respond to anything just yet without giving the new Trojans coaches an opportunity to speak with their son.
We'll see where this goes; there's little-to-no precedent for a prospect committing to a program before he's in high school, only for that program to fire the head coach he committed to when the prospect is in the midst of his junior year. Add in Michigan's multiple connections to Sills and this could get interesting.

Looking At Kansas State All Squirrelly-Like
Evaluating Michigan's bowl opponent.
So there's this guy. We can expect one of these.
Whoops! Game is at 10:15 PM Eastern, not 8:15. So… yeah. If you needed any reminders about what this season was like, playing at 10 PM on December 28th should suffice.
You've come a long way… a moderate way, baby. Remember when KSU kicked the season off with a 24-21 loss to I-AA North Dakota State? Yeah, in retrospect that may not have been that much of a surprise as the Bison are currently undefeated and in the second round of the I-AA playoffs.
K-State, meanwhile, went 5-4 in the Big Twelve, losing to who you'd expect they would (Okie State, Baylor, Oklahoma, and Texas) and beating who you'd expect they would. If you dismissed them after the opener, reconsider. Not only is NDSU rather good, KSU led Baylor, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State through three quarters. They were in every game this year save Greg Robinson's magnum opus. Football! Is ridiculous.
Kansas State hasn't really beaten anyone, but this is the Copper Bowl we're talking about. That was always going to be the case. On the whole, their season looks a good bit more impressive than Michigan's.
They gon' run. KSU had 286 passing attempts against 478 rushes, a 63% run rate.
The quarterbacks had multiple heads. Until sophomore Daniel Sams was relegated to the bench in the final two games of the year, he and junior Jake Waters had split time extensively. It took me a while to figure this out because a glance at the passing statistics makes it look like Sams is a garbage-time dude who picked up some attempts in the Oklahoma State game, presumably because of injury.
Nope! Sams is K-State's second leading rusher with almost 800 yards at 5.3 a pop. He's got monks and clouds and whatnot.
He is important.
K-State was on the verge of making him their full-time guy midseason when he rushed for 118 yards in the Oklahoma State game and completed 18 of 21 attempts. The problem: three of those were to Cowboys. That game was the only one in which Sams cracked ten passing attempts, but Bill Snyder has a knack for getting production out of broke-ass QBs. Sams was generally productive on the ground (West Virgnia of all teams was the only one to shut him down). He's between Gardner and Denard as a runner, more elusive in small spaces than Gardner but not goddamned incredible.
But Sams has been relegated, leaving Waters the presumed starter. Despite being the pocket passer (who is from Iowa) of the duo, K-State's by-any-means-necessary offense has seen him run over a hundred times this year, albeit with limited effectiveness. He's averaging under three yards an attempt on 106 carries, and while a good chunk of that is sacks it's impossible to figure out how much from box scores with Sams rotating in so much. His average game this year is about 10 carries for 30 yards. He's a keep-'em-honest guy on the ground.
In the air, dude wants to git it git it. His stats are quite close to Gardner's, but even more variable.
QB | Cmp | Att | Cmp% | YPA | TD | INT |
Waters | 138 | 233 | 59% | 9.4 | 19 | 9 |
Gardner | 208 | 305 | 60% | 8.6 | 21 | 11 |
Waters was as INT prone as Gardner, though I'm not sure how many Waters got away with. I know Gardner got away with lots late in the season. Waters was also able to accumulate an even gaudier YPA, and while a 90 yarder against Oklahoma does distort things somewhat hacking that down to 50 doesn't move the needle much.
The picture is clear. K-State wants to run the ball; when they are not forced into long yardage situations they will be 70-30 run. When they are not running the ball, they are trying to score right now. A good chunk of the 30% passes will be attempts to tear Michigan's face off with deep balls.
AND THEN I WAS LIKE "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M A GUARD NOW" [Fuller]
Paging Frank Clark. Kansas State gives up a lot of sacks. Not as many as Michigan, which… oh God… was 116th in sack percentage allowed. Hi Kentucky! Florida! Rice! We're neighbors. Do you guys have two tackles who will be off the board by the end of the third round of the NFL draft? Probably not!
Anyway, they weren't much better at 90th. A chunk of this is the face-tearing thing. KSU spends a lot of time in the pocket working off play action with routes that take a long time to run. Like Michigan, if Michigan could run at all. The results are highly variable, like everything else about the K-State passing offense.
The other guy getting the many, many running opportunities. Virtually all K-State carries not allotted to one of the quarterbacks went to senior John Hubert, who had nearly 1000 yards on 182 carries, an impressive 5.3 YPC, especially for an offense that runs so much. His year was… variable. He busted Kansas for 220 last weekend; the previous two weeks he had a total of 15 carries for 42 yards against TCU and Oklahoma. He was effective in a midseason stretch; he got 12 carries for 41 yards against Texas and 7 for 30 against Oklahoma State.
Hubert's not overwhelming in his youtube clips, which also double as a quick look at the kind of things K-State does.
The Wildcat offense is misdirection running, misdirection running, misdirection running. Think Auburn or a super-sized high school.
As for Hubert, he's a little dude but he's got some Mike Hart in him.
Kansas State doesn't use him as a receiver much; he's averaging one catch per game.
Dangerman. When Kansas State does pass, most of the time they're looking for Tyler Lockett, who went Jeremy Gallon on Texas (237 yards) and Oklahoma (278). He did not have a similar impact in K-State other two conference losses only because he pulled up lame early in the Oklahoma State game and missed Baylor. He has returned to full health now, and Michigan will get a stiff test.
WRs Curry Sexton and Tramaine Thompson absorb most of the other completions. Thompson is as much of a deep threat as Lockett; as a team Kansas averages a healthy 15 yards a completion.
My name is Mueller. Prepare to die. Kansas State is middling at getting to the quarterback, with a sack percentage (ie, percentage of passing attempts ending in a sack) essentially equivalent to Michigan's. The teams are 70th (M) and 72nd. Unlike Michigan, KSU gets almost half their production from one guy. That is Ryan Mueller, a former walk-on out of Florida power St Thomas Aquinas who went from 14 tackles a year ago to 11.5 sacks this year.
Mueller is obviously a talented guy, but Michigan's tackles are quite good and have shut down just about anyone they've come across. At 6'2", 245, Mueller is strictly a DE/OLB type and could be vulnerable to donkeying by either tackle. In general a kickass DE does not bother me.
Meanwhile, Michigan has a bunch of bowl practices to familiarize themselves with the concept of a blitz pickup.

BONUS: In addition to two "Kips," K-State has two Dylans and a Dillon, a Tanner, four(!) Codys and a Kody, and two Travises.
Defense. K-State looks like a quality outfit, with a YPC allowed under 4 (sacks included) and a defense that's ceded just 6.3 yards per pass with more INTs (16) than TDs (13). But FEI hates 'em, ranking them 50th in a schedule adjusted system that puts them around the 25th percentile as far as BCS schools go. S/P+, which I don't like as much* but is another way to look at the data, puts K-State 53rd. The run defense is the issue, finishing 79th in S/P+.
And when you look at K-State's game by game, it does look pretty grim for them. NDSU blazed them for 215 in the opener; Texas went for 227; Oklahoma 301. In between those games are some better performances on the order of 30+ carries for 120, 130 yards against a bunch of passing-oriented Big 12 offenses. Is it good or bad when Texas Tech runs 27 times for 135 yards against you? Bad.
Who knows if Michigan's going to be able to do anything about this, but they have moved the ball on the ground reasonably well in two of their last three games.
*[I prefer drive-based systems because it feels weird to me that play systems look at 3 play, 90 yard drives differently than 11 play, 90 yard drives.]
