Basketbullets: Irvin Breakout, Deadeye Dawkins, Post D
The result last night, and the fashion Michigan got there, was no doubt painful. Lost in the insanity and disappointment, however, were several encouraging signs for the future. Since Brian covered the coaching stuff in today's mailbag, my focus for today will mostly be on the bright side of life.
BUT FIRST, NIT OUTLOOK. So, yeah, that obviously wasn't ideal. DRatings updated their NIT bracketology today, putting Michigan as the second six-seed. A home win over Rutgers isn't likely to change much there (a loss would obviously be a huge blow), which puts Michigan perilously close to the edge:
All regular season champions that did not win their conference tournament automatically qualify for the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). It is important to note that early predictions will be flawed because of this rule. Typically, there are about seven to nine teams that win their conference in the regular season but don't win their conference tournament and end up in the NIT. So, in early predictions, if your team is a seven or eight seed, then it is likely they won't make the tournament because of these auto qualifiers.
DRatings currently has ten teams below Michigan projected to make the NIT field. Hold onto your butts.
ZAK IRVIN, EVOLVING. For much of the season, Zak Irvin has been a source of disappointment. If Caris LeVert was supposed to step into Nik Stauskas' shoes, Irvin was supposed to step into LeVert's, becoming this year's guy to add a ton to his game and set himself up for lead dog status/early entry discussion.
It didn't happen right away, but take a look at Irvin's last six games:
Points | 2PM/2PA | 3PM/3PA | FTM/FTA | OR | DR | AST | TO | |
Indiana | 23 | 6/11 | 3/5 | 2/5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
Illinois | 8 | 1/5 | 2/7 | 0/0 | 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 |
Maryland | 15 | 2/4 | 2/6 | 5/5 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
Northwestern | 28 | 5/9 | 3/8 | 9/10 | 1 | 10 | 3 | 2 |
TOTAL (Avg.) | 105 (17.5) | 20/41 (49%) | 16/40 (40%) | 17/23 (74%) | 3 (0.5) | 31 (5.2) | 13 (2.2) | 9 (1.5) |
Now think about this: Irvin didn't make more than three two-pointers in any game his freshman year—and he only did that twice—and other than the opener against D-II Hillsdale he hadn't made more than four this season until the Indiana game. He had five last night, mostly on NBA-level pullup looks that he generated with surprising ease:
Over the last month, Irvin has raised the bar from top-flight supporting player to potential go-to guy on a good team, and that's a huge step. He's developing moves that reliably get him to the basket—he's incorporating the shot fake, for instance, which is particularly effective given his shooting ability—and he's both finishing and getting to the line more often.

Mailbag: Bad Times, Autobench, Coleman Assessed, McCray Location
things were bad all around when Bump was doing his best
Bad times man
Could this year be the first year that all three major sports missed the post season?
I tried to look it up but realized I was wasting too much time doing so.
Thanks for the leg work. Sorry for bringing it up, though.
-Brandon Hall
This isn't actually that hard to do. Michigan had a 30-some year bowl streak starting with Bo and a 22-year tourney streak starting early in the Red era. Basketball made the tournament the last two years, so we start with 1974 and go back from there. So:
- Hockey had a tourney drought from 1965 to 1976(!)
- Basketball made it in '74, reaching the Elite Eight, but hadn't made the tourney since 1966 previously.
- It was Rose or nothing for football back then, and nothing happened in 1974 and 1973
So, 1973. Meanwhile, the late sixties were not much fun to be a Michigan fan, with no postseason appearances from the big three from 66 to the 1970 Rose Bowl.
Hockey still has a shot to avoid the trifecta. Also HARBAUGH
Why in the world does a coach as good as Beilein continually pull the autobench? Which is basically taking the penalty for a crime you haven't committed yet. Also, what's the team's +/- in the last 5 minutes of the first half this season? That seems like when the autobench would be hurting us. Thanks.
Funny you should ask that, I was just about to—
Given the discussion via both the website and Twitter today railing against the autobench, I put together the attached file to see what's actually going on. Thought you might be interested in the results. Dan Dakich said something interesting during the broadcast about people not talking enough about the importance of the time at the end of the first half on the outcome of a game. I've always thought this, as well, so I also put in a +/- on Michigan's performance from the final media timeout of the first half to halftime [in both autobench and non-autobench situations].
The document is here if you want to look at the details. The summary data follows.
The first column is Michigan's overall margin at the end of the game. The second is Michigan's performance in the last four minutes of the first half in all games; the third is Michigan's margin in autobench situations.
parens means negative numbers
The conclusion seems to be that John Beilein has not adapted his autobench policy to the injuries of Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton, and is still coaching like he has solid depth. This is emphatically not true, as the result of the autobench today put Andrew Dakich and Sean Lonergan on the floor for extended time.
Anyway, like I said, I thought you might find this interesting.
Go Blue,
Zach Jones
This was pre-Northwestern but with the only autobench in NW coming from Kam Chatman it's still accurate. Most of Michigan's deficit in Big Ten play post-injuries has come in autobench situations.
Autobench was a reasonable strategy earlier in the year when the guy coming off the bench was usually Spike (or Spike was the autobench subject). Lately it has gone very un-well.
These are tiny sample sizes that you can't draw any statistically significant conclusions from, but they do confirm the eyeball test. Michigan scored once in ten possessions at the end of the first half when Irvin and MAAR were benched, and that was the difference. MAAR's absence in the MSU game corresponded with a huge MSU run that put that game out of reach.
It's one thing to bring Dawkins or MAAR or Spike into the game because one of your guys has a couple fouls. It's another to have a lineup with Lonergan and Dakich on the floor.
The other recent controversy.
I watch the multiple M games with my Michigan grad neighbor and occasionally we get into battles about Michigan coaching strategy. This came into fruition during the NW game in both the regular time and the OT. I have always held the strategy: if it is under the shot clock (35 seconds left ) with a lead of over 2 points you should foul with the ball under ½ court with the opposing player in no act of shooting. This holds true especially in the 1-and-1 and with a timeout (to escape the trap by calling timeout). My theory is that you give the opposing team no chance to tie the game on their possession. Add to that if the ball is brought up court by a poor free throw shooter, to miss the 1-and-1 reduces dramatically to the 2 points awarded. I also have a time out to call in the event of an inbounds trap. The net is you give up 2 points max up by one with an out of bounds pass and a timeout. You inbounds the pass up by one shooting a 1:1 probably immediately fouled.
My neighbor argues that playing good defense is a valid strategy, citing the NW player stepping out of bounds giving Michigan the ball.
We would have won the game at Northwestern if we deployed this strategy in both the regular time and/or the overtime. We let them win by two miracle Trey Burke shots to tie that never should have happened. Please convince me by math that I am not insane that the "prevent" defense in college basketball is not better than in the NFL and insanely underutilized.
I am #teamfoul all the way, but any discussion of this has to point out the most extensive study of this decision on the college level was done by Ken Pomeroy and it didn't show what you think it might:
W L OT Win% Cases Foul 122 5 11 92.0 138 Defend 598 2 76 93.5 676
(That post was spurred by Ben Brust's DEATH TO BACKBOARDS heave, because of course.)
Now: fouling does prevent OT. 13% of "defend" instances made it to an extra five minutes. 8% of "foul" instances did. The increased chance of an insta-loss offset that in a sample size that's suggestive but not definitive.
So. Despite being #teamfoul, this is the kind of game theory noodling that is way less significant than anything that gets you a single extra point over the course of 40 minutes. There are some game theory noodles that are worth exploring (fourth down decisions in football, calling your f-ing timeouts when the opponent has first and goal). This one appears to be marginal.
The more important thing is what the hell Bielfeldt was thinking when Olah set a screen for Demps in that situation. There is no way Demps should have been that open.

This Week's Obsession: Spring Breakout Player
Not fair comparing Peppers to humans. [Upchurch]
The Question:
Ace: Since there's always at least one: Who do you think becomes this year's Spring Breakout Guy?
Alex Cook (hoops beat): Can I answer with Jabrill Peppers? Last year was a complete and unmitigated disaster -- even our best recruit (of the past decade and perhaps longer) went down with an injury and missed pretty much the whole season. It's going to be easy for the national media to forget about him: Peppers didn't make any noise last year -- because of injury -- and Michigan isn't expected to do a whole lot (though we do have Harbaugh, which will be a well-tracked national storyline).
I like big butts and we cannot lie, when we're building an offensive line. When a kid walks in with fleet-foot spin, and lower-body weight you get sprung! [Upchurch] |
I'm a True Believer when it comes to Jabrill Peppers, especially after the move to safety, where he can be in the box and play a coverage guy in equal turn. The guy has "future top ten pick" written all over him and I'm guessing we'll hear all about that as spring progresses.
Seth: Yeah it'll be Peppers though we've been stoking that flame so long it can't be that much of a surprise when it goes up. So in the spirit of the annual "hey look what we found" of Spring let's go for a surprise candidate.
Logan Tuley-Tillman is what NFL left tackles are supposed to look like at 20 years old. Here's a guy who dropped 20 lbs from high school, then built back 10. He also had a hand injury last year to explain why he couldn't compete with a true freshman.
Brian on Monday mentioned a practice observer said the light went on. When that happens to a guy whose build matches the Michael Oher description from Blind Side, that means a Jake Long is born.
For LTT to crack the starting lineup now would mean he beat out (probably) Magnuson and Braden, two guys with 23 starts between them. Word from practice so far seems to be emphasizing that Cole and Miller are the only two OL from last year's unit who've locked down a job, then peg Cole as maybe moving to guard or RT. Reading between the lines it seems somebody's job's under fire from one of underclassmen. It could as well be Dawson—perhaps he can pull?—pushing from behind, since I've also read nice things about him coming out of practice, but the Cole thing suggests it's a tackle who's upsetting the standard order, and if that tackle was Magnuson we'd be hearing they plan to find a spot for Mags. Fox is still hurt, so that leaves JBB or LTT, and people are talking about the latter.

H4: Hall of Harbaugh Quarterback, Part 2
This is the second installment of a comprehensive look at quarterbacks whom Jim Harbaugh recruited and coached. Part 1 looked at his WKU recruits, his work with the Oakland Raiders, and his first head coaching job at San Diego. A few trends that came out:
- He recruits at least two QBs per class
- They tend to look like shooting guards: tall, athletic, gangly, on the border of dual-threat/pro-style. He scouts them at multiple sports.
- Their teams usually perform above or far above the usual for that program.
- He likes them smart.
We are now entering the Stanford phase, so it's a good thing we could notice item #4 above before the sample was ruined.
We also got an idea of how Harbaugh coaches them. He likes his heady guys to memorize a million things they can think about pre-snap. When he has one of those guys, they go to the line with three plays called, and the quarterback decides which by defensive alignment. Conversely, post-snap reads are super-simplified and drilled mercilessly so that his QB barely has to think about his progressions during a play.
This week we get into his last two stops before Michigan.
Head coach and quarterbacks coach, 2007-'10
2007: Harbaugh took over at Stanford in December 2006 with Kellen Kiilsguaard, a high three-star dual-threat, and L.D. Crow, an early-recruited academic from the South, already committed. Crow was on a lot of 2007 early watch lists (I know because I was reading those religiously for Mallett news) and Stanford's first commit of that class, but he was passed by a lot of guys by Signing Day (not Nick Foles, Kellen Moore, or Ryan Lindley). Kiilsguaard would eventually switch to safety. Harbaugh couldn't lure another QB but did get a transfer from Michigan. MGoBlog's Brian Cook:
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Jason Forcier can read the writing on the wall -- it says "Jesus Christ, that kid can throw eighty yards" -- and is transferring to Stanford effective at the end of the semester. Lloyd is not happy about it.
Forcier, like all Forciers, was an accurate Marinovich project with enough legs to be classified as a dual-threat but not enough to overshadow his passing.
On the roster were a pair of fliers in Alex Loukas, a 6'4/193 Purdue-al-threat (see: every other Purdue quarterback of the period), and Marcus Rance, a barely three-star guy from Washington whose next best offer was Idaho. Harbaugh also inherited a 5th year senior and on-and-off starter in T.C. Ostrander, an Elite 11 prospect who signed as a 4-star and two spots below Brady Quinn in a deep year for pro-style QBs. Ostrander split time with 2006 3rd round draft pick (and former 5-star) Trent Edwards for three seasons.
T.C. Ostrander | Passing | Rushing | Total | ||||||
Year | Att | Cmp% | TD | Int | Yds | Eff | Att | Yds | YPP |
2004-'06 | 351 | 48% | 8 | 8 | 2361 | 107.04 | 96 | -340 | 4.52 |
2007 (Harbaugh) | 229 | 57% | 7 | 3 | 1422 | 116.40 | 32 | -171 | 4.79 |
Last among inherited bullets was Tavita Pritchard, a 2005 3-star pro-style guy ranked just behind Colt McCoy. Pritchard had thrown one pass—that incomplete—and was sacked on three other career snaps before Harbaugh arrived.
Ostrander suffered a seizure the week Stanford would go into #1 USC as 41-point underdogs. Against a brutal defense, Pritchard wasn't doing too hot—he'd go 11/30 for 149 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in that game. But then 20 of those yards were a laser to Richard Sherman, and another 10 were the fade to Mark Bradford to win it. Pete Carroll wanted to know what Harbaugh's deal was.
Harbaugh's deal was he was recruiting quarterbacks. Andrew Luck committed at the end of June 2007, before Stanford had played a game under Harbaugh. The interest in Stanford was already there for the academic Texan, and meeting Jim sealed it.
Jim continued to recruit a second QB for the class. Targets included Dayne Crist (Notre Dame), Jerome Tiller (ISU), Sean Renfree (Duke), Ted Stachitas (Wake Forest), Wayne Warren (Rutgers), B.R. Holbrook (New Mexico), and another Texas prospect, Robert Griffin III. RGIII turned down Harbaugh's offer because of Stanford's admissions policy:
"I was graduating early, and Stanford wasn't allowing early graduates to enroll and that was the biggest issue," Griffin said.
So Stanford wound up with just one quarterback for the class. Luck was the epitome of the Harbaugh quarterback recruit: valedictorian smart, extremely productive in high school, cool demeanor, and some wiggle. Under Harabaugh he would develop into the best pro prospect since Peyton Manning, whom Luck displaced.

Derrick Walton is still expected to sit out, though he did at least travel to Maryland on Saturday.
Thanks to a strong all-around performance by Caris LeVert and a missed layup by Northwestern's Bryant McIntosh on the game's final possession, Michigan escaped with a 56-54 win at Crisler back in mid-January. A solid outing from Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman covered for the absence of a sick Spike Albrecht. The efforts of those two and Derrick Walton—who hit some timely threes—were just enough to overcome a 22-point game from Wildcats center Alex Olah.
On that fateful final play, LeVert came up limping. We'd soon learn he was out for the rest of the season. Michigan, 4-2 in the conference after the win, has gone 3-7 since.
This is close to a must-win for Michigan if they want to get into the NIT. While a losing record no longer automatically disqualifies a team from making the NIT, no such team has been selected; Michigan would need to beat Rutgers and win the 8/9 game in the Big Ten Tournament just to get back to .500. (I don't believe the NIT counts the victory over Hillsdale, a D-II team.) That wouldn't necessarily guarantee Michigan gets in—they'd probably have to pull a huge upset over Wisconsin in the next round to lock down a spot.
Needless to say, the path to the NIT is a whole lot easier if Michigan wins the remaining two regular season games. At that point, they'd probably only need to win one game in the conference tournament to feel good about their postseason standing.
Projected starters are in bold. Hover over headers for stat explanations. The "Should I Be Mad If He Hits A Three" methodology: we're mad if a guy who's not good at shooting somehow hits one. Yes, you're still allowed to be unhappy if a proven shooter is left open. It's a free country.

The Wildcats then ripped off four straight wins, beating Iowa, Minnesota, Penn State (60-39!), and Indiana; three of those came at home. Most recently, they got crushed at Illinois.

Famed Soprano Renee Fleming Performs Original Single 'Still Dream' With Music By Alexandre Desplat And Lyrics By David Lindsay-Abaire For DreamWorks Animation's "Rise Of The Guardians"
GLENDALE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA) today announced that acclaimed soprano Renee Fleming has performed the original song "Still Dream" on the soundtrack for the upcoming Rise of the Guardians, which also features a score by Four-Time Academy Award® nominated and Grammy® Award winning composer Alexandre Desplat. Varese Sarabande will release the soundtrack on November 13, preceding the film's nationwide release on November 21.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121015/LA93144)
The original, end-credit song "Still Dream" was written and produced by Desplat, with lyrics by Rise of the Guardians screenwriter, Grammy® Award nominee and Pulitzer Prize winning author, David Lindsay-Abaire . The complete score, recorded at the historic Abbey Road in London and Air Studios, was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and features choral work by London Voices. To create the music and lyrics for the original song, Desplat and Lindsay-Abaire drew upon the film's heroic and sweeping story as inspiration.
"There is much more music in Rise of the Guardians than is found in the average live-action film," says Desplat, who conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in the recording of his original compositions. "The goal with the score was to emphasize every moment of joy, sadness and soul so that audiences would be able to dive with the characters into their worlds. The main theme – conveying all the wonder of children's dreams and their beliefs became the melody on which I wrote the song."
"This is a truly beautiful film and I am honored to perform 'Still Dream,' which serves as the perfect finale for Alexandre's incredible film score," says Renee Fleming. One of the most beloved and celebrated musical ambassadors of our time, soprano Renee Fleming captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. Known as "the people's diva" and named 2012 Female Singer of the Year by the German Echo awards, she continues to grace the world's greatest opera stages and concert halls, now extending her reach to include other musical forms and media. Ms. Fleming is a Three-Time Grammy ® Award Winner. Last June, in a historic first, she sang on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Four-Time Academy Award ® nominee Alexandre Desplat is one of the most coveted film composers in the world today, noted for his creative collaborations with some of the world's top filmmakers. Desplat has scored a wide range of acclaimed films and received Oscar nominations for his music in The King's Speech, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , and The Queen. Desplat received the Golden Globe for his original score for The Painted Veil and has been nominated for three Grammy® Awards, winning one for The King's Speech. David Lindsay-Abaire is a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, screenwriter, lyricist and librettist. His most recent play, Good People, premiered on Broadway last season, and was awarded the 2011 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, The Horton Foote Prize, The Edgerton Foundation New American Play Award, and two Tony nominations. His previous play, Rabbit Hole, received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, five Tony nominations, and the Spirit of America Award. David was nominated for a Grammy Award and two Tonys for his work on Shrek The Musical: Best Score, and Best Book of a Musical. In addition to his work in theatre, David's screen credits include his film adaptation of Rabbit Hole, as well as the upcoming feature Rise of the Guardians. Rise of the Guardians is an epic adventure that tells the story of a group of heroes – each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world. The film stars Alec Baldwin, Jude Law, Isla Fisher, Chris Pine and Hugh Jackman. Rise of the Guardians is directed by Peter Ramsey, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, produced by Christina Steinberg and Nancy Bernstein and executive produced by William Joyce and Guillermo del Toro.

We maintain a permanent reference collection within these herbaria that document the historical distribution and composition of the local biodiversity, providing botanical information to researchers and the public. Our specialization is on research of native and introduced plants and fungi, their ecology and evolution.
Founded in 1869, the Louisiana State University (LSU) Herbarium is the oldest collection of preserved plant specimens in the Gulf South and is the second largest collection of Louisiana plants. Originally composed entirely of specimens of vascular plants, it now also includes fine collections of lichens and fungi. In all, the LSU Herbarium contains ca. 180,000 specimens, with over 40,000 lichens (the largest lichen collection in the Gulf Region) and ca. 25,000 fungi (the second-largest collection of its kind in this region). The fungal collection is rich in Neotropical wood-decaying fungi, and Gulf Coast lichens are well represented. The LSU Herbarium is an essential resource for research, teaching, and public service, including the study of the wildflowers of Louisiana, the ecology of Louisiana marshes, the medicinal plants of the Gulf South, the environmental impact assessment in Louisiana, and the conservation of tropical rain forests.

NCAA Women's D1 and Men's NIT basketball
UPDATED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - 8:33pm
Waco, TX — Baylor and the city of Waco are reaping benefits from hosting not one, but two major college basketball tournaments this week.
Over the weekend, roughly 10,000 people came to Waco for both the NCAA Women's D1, and the Men's NIT basketball tournaments.
The city of Waco is estimating a million dollars will be spent in the area as a result.
Many hotels in Waco have been booked through tonight when the women's regional bracket ends. Local restaurants have seen a boost too.
The recent success of Baylor athletics and the current construction of the new state-of-the-art football stadium has already given the area an economic influx that otherwise wouldn't of happened.
"What's good for Waco is good for Baylor and what is good for Baylor is good for Waco. It's a win-win, said Blake Harris, Vice President of the Sports Division at the Waco Greater Chamber of Commerce. There's a lot going on right now that are hand-in-hand with each other. And definitely, I think Waco is Baylor's biggest fan right now."
Tuesday night's matchup between Baylor and Florida State will mark Brittney Griner's last home game with Baylor.
The game is expected to fill the 10,000 seat Ferrell Center.
The NIT tournament will resume Wednesday.

Thread: Pronunciation sadness : (
September 18th, 2013 12:47 AM #1
Pronunciation sadness : (
Have any of you ever encountered this problem? I've loved the name Zoe ever since I was about nine, but I thought then that it was pronounced (zo), as in Joe. Then I discovered the real pronunciation, and it took me awhile to fall in love with it again. The last couple of weeks, I've been entertaining the thought that I could use the French pronunciation of Zoé, which I thought was (zo-ay). Just goes to show you how much I know about French. Anyway, today I figured out the French pronunciation is more along the lines of (zoo-ee), and my hopes have been dashed yet again : ( So do any of you know of a legitimate name that would have such a pronunciation (zo-ay)? Thanks.
P.S. Would also like to hear your GP pronunciations : )Jude Casimir-Raphael Benedict-Eli Augustin-Christian Ignatius

Singapore's Ibris Nickel stops Indonesia ore mining ahead of export ban
Published on Jan 7, 2014 3:11 PM
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Singapore's Ibris Nickel said on Tuesday it had temporarily stopped operations at its 2-million-tonne-per-year nickel mine in Indonesia, amid uncertainty surrounding a planned ban on unprocessed metal ore exports.
It is the first company to announce it is putting operations on hold pending the ban.
Almost all miners are taking a "wait-and-see" approach to the ore ban, Chief Operating Officer Agus Suhartono told Reuters, adding that the government had not provided any clarification of planned new processing requirements due to take effect on Sunday.
"If we are in production but we don't know how this will pan out, we need to be very careful," Suhartono said. "It's a last-minute call."

Join Firebird Trio in 2014 for a unique concert-theatre experience, exploring music from Beethoven to Brahms, Vaughan Williams to Shostakovich, Arvo Pärt to Tüür over three concerts.
In the 2014 series, set in the magnificent Melbourne Recital Centre, Firebird Trio introduces The Dilettante Hater, a most discerning and entertaining critic, who makes a habit of slightly unpredictable appearances at our concerts. He is witty, engaging, and occasionally provocative. He is known merely as 'Monsieur'.
Wednesday November 19 @ 7pm
Melbourne Recital Centre - Salon
Haydn - Piano Trio in A flat major, Hob. XIV
Julian Yu - Mozartiana for piano trio (rev. 2014)
Grieg - Andante con moto in C minor
Brahms - Piano Trio in B major, Op. 8
Firebird Trio's final program for 2014 is of great cultural diversity.
Brahms' first piano trio is of extraordinary scope and emotional range, with a timeless, poetic slow movement, while the unabashed sincerity and beauty of Grieg's music is touchingly revealed in his Andante con moto from his unfinished piano trio, reflecting the rich folklore of Norway. Finally, Firebird Trio is delighted to present 'Mozartiana' by Chinese-Australian composer Julian Yu, whose music has a personalised quality that continues to draw listeners across the globe.

Ever have a gun you just hate but is so convenient that you just can't get rid of it? I have a hate-to-love-it relationship with my 2nd gen LCP. It's been my pocket pal the whole year. It's updated trigger is decent. It's light. And the best part is it disappears in spendex.
But I hate it. Hate how small it is. Hate practicing or shooting with it. I loathe my range sessions with the LCP. I can't stand the way it looks. The pew pew .380. The 6 shot mag. The lousy sights. The non locking on the last shot slide. The long DAO trigger. And equally as long reset. It's like the red headed stepchild of my carry pieces. I swear that my five Glocks call it names and beat it up in the safe every night. And ragheads will die of laughter sooner than I could harm them with this little pea shooter.
But yet here it sits in my pocket even as I write this because I can't dress around my G26 enough today. It's just a gun that beats a pointy stick. Even if barely.
How many of you have such a relationship with one of your guns or the LCP? Have you sold yours and could you live without it?

Frederick's Of Hollywood Announces International Expansion
NEW YORK, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Frederick's of Hollywood Group Inc. (NYSE Amex: FOH) ("Company") announced today that it has entered into an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement with Abu Dhabi-based Emirates Associated Business Group (EABG) to build and operate Frederick's of Hollywood retail stores in the Middle East.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080610/LATU547LOGO)
The agreement provides for EABG to open at least 10 Frederick's of Hollywood retail stores in six Middle Eastern countries over the next three years, with additional store openings based on a mutually agreed upon expansion plan. In addition, a flagship store in Abu Dhabi is scheduled to open in April 2011.
Thomas Lynch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Frederick's of Hollywood Group Inc., stated, "Frederick's of Hollywood is known as a fun, sexy brand for women around the world; however, we currently only sell our products in North America. The agreement with EABG to open stores in multiple Middle Eastern countries is an exciting first step for Frederick's of Hollywood in our strategy to extend our customer reach to new parts of the world. By utilizing licensing agreements to enter new geographic markets, we can cost effectively and quickly grow our business, while also benefiting from our partners' knowledge, presence and experience in these new retail environments."
Raid Abu Hudra, Chief Executive Officer of EABG, stated, "We believe that the Frederick's of Hollywood brand's fun and luxurious image will successfully carry over to the Middle East and will be a hit among young Middle Eastern women. As such, we have an aggressive strategy in place to open Frederick's of Hollywood retail stores across the area, with our flagship retail location slated to open in Abu Dhabi next month. We are looking forward to a long and successful partnership with Frederick's of Hollywood."

DTE Orders Utilities To Upgrade Manhole And Stray Voltage Safety
DTE Orders Utilities To Upgrade Manhole And Stray Voltage Safety
The DTE directive comes as two consulting firms hired by the regulator issued their final reports today on these critical public safety concerns. "This is a blueprint for enhanced safety and integrity of our electric underground distribution systems. We need to immediately begin introducing these best practices to mitigate stray voltage and manhole incidents in order to better protect our citizens and their pets from unsafe conditions. State-of-the-art testing equipment, increased frequency of inspections and improved management procedures will help us better ensure the safe delivery of electric utility service," said DTE Chairman Paul G. Afonso.
The DTE ordered the utilities to file Distribution System Safety Plans incorporating each consultant's recommendations by January 10, 2006.Prompted by a series of reports of stray voltage and dislodged manhole covers over the past year and a half, some causing serious injury and extensive property damage, the DTE retained two expert engineering consulting firms, Navigant and Siemens, to review these incidents and make recommendations for corrective actions.
Siemens recommends a more active and anticipatory program to inspect, test and maintain manhole and underground facilities safety that includes:
- Expanding the definition of manhole events to include smoke, fire, and explosions with or without dislodged manhole covers;
- Implementing a program for the inspection of all manholes over a five-year period beginning January 1, 2006;
- Maintaining a database for splice repairs to monitor for possible workmanship issues and related training needs;
- Performing field failure analysis for all manhole events and preparing annual trend assessments of root-cause failures;
- Instituting standardized manhole inspection and manhole event data collection forms;
- Formation of a working group comprised of representatives from the four electric utilities and DTE staff for sharing information on manhole event trends, root cause analyses, results of pilot programs, new technologies and lessons learned.
Navigant recommends targeted stray voltage inspections and testing programs and enhanced reporting of known or potential hazards that includes:
- Upgrading preventive maintenance plans to include inspection and testing of low voltage, secondary equipment and facilities susceptible to stray voltage. These plans should include voltage testing on a five-year basis at a minimum; inspections scheduled during periods where equipment may have greater susceptibility to stray voltage; a mitigation and remediation plan that includes immediate repair when readings exceed 20 volts and one day repair when readings are between eight and 20 volts
- Implementation of consistent monitoring and tracking systems that record and document stray voltage events;
- Submission of reports to the DTE that document and summarize information from the tracking system, including annual reports and event reports;
- Monitoring and assessing alternative testing methods, including new equipment that will improve inspection efficiency and cost;
- Promoting safety awareness to the public via mail, bill inserts and contractor bulletins; and
- Exploring the development of protective equipment with electric equipment suppliers.

Hi, I live in Riverview, FL and I am pregnant for the first time and I'm expecting fraternal twins. I am Due December 5th. My whole family is up in Ohio and I'm not working right now due to being laid off AND lots of MS and tiredness. I'm feeling very isolated the last couple months, and wondered if there are any first time mom's OR newly pregnant ladies in the area who are looking for a pregnancy buddy.
I have been in Tampa about 3 years, and I have been working most of the time and not able to form a lot of real close friendships in this area. My interests are fitness, my two dogs (both pomeranians), movies, animals and the outdoors (grew up in rural Ohio, love the outdoors!), shopping, and going to the movies when I'm too sick to do anything else. My close female friends all live out of state too, so this has been a huge change for me to go from working a lot and going out with my hubs to being pregnant with twins and pretty alone most days. I'm married but my husband works full time as an insurance agent, so I have a lot of time on my hands for the forseeable future...
I think now it a great time to meet people going through a similar pregnancy, and I'm sure there are other women out there going through the same things I am. I'm also wanting to start scrapbooking, I've never tried it but I have a tone of wedding/engagement photos and soon to baby photos I need to learn to organize!
Thanks in advance I look forward to talking to you!

From an overweight 135kg (297lbs) to having ab's and life changing results.. with diet alone. Sounds crazy right? My story is a little deeper than that.. Hi, my name is Jake Williams. I never thought I would be writing an e-book. When I was 23 I had a horrible health condition which prevented me from living the life I wanted. Through trial and error and lots of learning I slowly eliminated my health problem with diet and found my freedom again. I was inspired by my brother to share my story with a video on YouTube. just search "50 kg weight loss in 6 months" and you will find it. With the feedback from the video - along with my university lecturer suggesting I write an e-book, I decided to share my short story of success with you. I used to be 135 kg (297 lbs) regular guy who had an unwanted health condition which was slowly ruining my life. Now the condition is gone, and I am in the best shape of my life. I hope my e-book in someway helps you on your own weight

I'm trying to install Apache jserv on Linux Mandrake 7.2. The installation process installs Apache for me. The path given in books and in Apache jserv documentation says the default directory is /usr/local/apache or /usr/local/src, but I don't have either directory.
I have also tried an example from the book Java Programming on Linux:
./configure --with-apache-install=/usr --with jsdk=/usr/local/Java/JSDK2.0
It returns the error ./configure no such file or directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated. —Christopher Nallo, email@example.com
/usr/local/apache is where Apache is installed if you compile and install the application. Otherwise, it was probably installed as an RPM installation file. If you do:
rpm -qa | grep apache
you will find how many Apache components you do have installed, including which versions. If you do:
rpm -ql <apache-package>where <apache-package> is one of the output lines of the first command, you will get the location where each file of that package was installed. Regarding ./configure you should run configure files from the directory in which they are located. You are sitting somewhere else in your directory tree, not where the configure file of the package you want to install is located. —Felipe E. Barousse Boué, firstname.lastname@example.com
I have been trying to install Caldera 2.3 on my laptop, an NEC Versa 4230, and have run into major problems! First, I can't get the X server up and running at any decent resolution. Second, even though I get the basic system installed and supposedly running, it will not boot; it just locks—Ed Money, email@example.com
If you have an old X server it will only support your chip in VGA mode, which is bad. Upgrade to XFree86 3.3.6 or better. —Marc Merlin, email@example.com
Check out http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/ and search for your laptop model. You'll find lots of useful notes and links from people who have made it work. —Paul Christensen, firstname.lastname@example.com
I have an Intel 810 chip set with an onboard sound and graphics card. My problem is that I cannot configure X to work properly. I want to know if I can get device drivers for the above-mentioned chip set? —Ashutosh, firstname.lastname@example.com
You need a fairly recent version of XFree86; 3.3.6 should work according to http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/RELNOTES4.html#4/. You can also upgrade to XFree86 4.0.2, which supports your chip set, too, http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.2/RELNOTES3.html#8/. —Marc Merlin, email@example.com
After a period of inactivity, my terminal blanks. For various reasons, this is less than desirable. How can I extend the timeout or disable the blanking? I am not in X, but at the 80 x 25 screen. —Garth, email@example.com
The command you're looking for is setterm. The format is simple:
setterm -blank 10
This will give you 10 minutes of terminal inactivity before the screen goes blank; 0 (off) to 60 is valid. If you add
setterm -powerseve powerdownyour monitor will actually go into sleep mode to conserve energy. —Paul Christensen, email@example.com
I want to be able to access my Iomega ZIP250 parallel drive. —Mark Adams, firstname.lastname@example.com
This drive uses a module called imm. At the command line, while logged in as root, type modprobe imm. This will load the module. Create a mount point after that: mkdir /mnt/zip. Then you need to mount the drive: mount /dev/sd[x]4 -t vfat /mnt/zip, [x] being the next available SCSI drive letter i.e., if you have an SCSI hard drive or CD-ROM, it will be /dev/sda, and your ZIP will be /dev/sdb4. The 4 means the partition number, which is always 4 for the preformatted ZIP disk. To make it permanently load at boot, do the following:
echo modprobe [module] >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Also, you should create a mount point for it in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sd[x]4 /mnt/zip auto defaults 0 0--Garrett Mickelson, email@example.com

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

WASHINGTON (AP) — JPMorgan Chase faces intense criticism for claiming that a surprise $2 billion loss by one of its trading groups was the result of a sloppy but well-intentioned strategy to manage financial risk.
More than three years after the financial industry almost collapsed, the colossal misfire was cited as proof that big banks still do not understand the threats posed by their own speculation.
"It just shows they can't manage risk — and if JPMorgan can't, no one can," Simon Johnson, the former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund, said Friday.
JPMorgan is the largest bank in the United States and was the only major bank to remain profitable during the 2008 financial crisis. That lent credibility to its tough-talking CEO, Jamie Dimon, as he opposed stricter regulation in the aftermath.
But Dimon's contention that the $2 billion loss came from a hedging strategy that backfired, not an opportunistic bet with the bank's own money, faced doubt on Friday, if not outright ridicule.
"This is not a hedge," said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chair of a subcommittee that investigated the crisis. He said the trades were instead a "major bet" on the direction of the economy, as published reports suggested.
On Friday, Dimon told NBC News, for an interview airing Sunday on "Meet the Press," that he did not know whether JPMorgan had broken any laws or regulatory rules. He said the bank was "totally open" to regulators.
The head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mary Schapiro, told reporters that the agency was focused on the JPMorgan loss but declined to comment further.
JPMorgan's disclosure Thursday recharged a debate about how to ensure that banks are strong and competitive without allowing them to become so big and complex that they threaten the financial system when they falter.
The JPMorgan loss did not cause anything close to the panic that followed the September 2008 failure of the Lehman Brothers investment bank. But it shook the confidence of the financial industry.
Within minutes after trading began on Wall Street, JPMorgan stock had lost almost 10 percent, wiping out about $15 billion in market value. It closed down 9.3 percent.
Fitch Ratings downgraded the bank's credit rating by one notch, while Standard & Poor's cut its outlook JPMorgan to "negative," indicating a credit-rating downgrade could follow.
Morgan Stanley and Citigroup closed down more than 4 percent, and Goldman Sachs closed down almost 4 percent. The broader stock market was down only slightly for the day.
Dimon gave few details about the trades Thursday beyond saying they involved "synthetic credit positions," a type of the complex financial instruments known as derivatives.
Enhanced oversight of derivatives was a pillar of the 2010 financial overhaul law, known as Dodd-Frank, but the implementation has been delayed repeatedly and will not take effect until the end of this year at the earliest.
JPMorgan's trades show that the derivatives market remains too opaque for regulators to oversee effectively, said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., one of the law's namesakes.
"When a supposedly responsible, well-run organization could make such an enormous mistake with derivatives, that really blows up the argument, 'Oh, leave us alone, we don't need you to regulate us,'" he said.
Criticism of the bank did not stop with its traditional chorus of detractors. It also came from Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a prominent member of the Senate Banking Committee who has received $10,000 since January 2011 from JPMorgan's political action committee, the most any candidate has received.
Corker, a leader of a failed effort last year to block a Federal Reserve rule that slashed bank profits from debit cards, called for a hearing "as expeditiously as possible" into the events surrounding JPMorgan's loss.
Tim Ryan, president of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, a trade group, said it was impossible to legislate or regulate risk out of the financial system.
