Maybe, but still much better than a poor man's Steve Alford, as that is in fact Steve Alford.
Either way, welcome to Michigan, Wayne Lyons. Very interested in the makeup of the secondary, or at least moreso now with this addition.

|My Picks...
My own picks, which now reflect only two of the pools I am in - the two I still have some hope in when it comes to winning some cash....
- Notre Dame (I had a pregame tossup feel about this one though, but not so much now)
- Wisconsin
- Kentucky
- Arizona
Having now revealed my actual picks in those brackets, someone goes down. That seems to be the way that goes for me.

|If I Could Play...
If I could actually in fact play basketball at a level which could not be described as "comical", I would probably go with:
1) John Beilein
2) Gregg Marshall
3) Steve Alford (just for kicks, for one game to see what that experience is like)
4) Mike Krzyzewski (not a Duke fan at all, but intellectually there would be interest due to name alone)
5) Sean Miller

|My Two Cents...
As for myself, I do agree with the people that are saying the old configuration had a nice, clean look about it - especially in aerial shots - but I also believe the renovations were much needed and that the atmosphere enhancements that came with that are positive, particularly the noise level now, which works much more in our favor, I think.

|Great Gesture...
That's an awesome gesture from Smith, and consistent with who he was widely understood to be as a person, I would think. The simple instructions he left - "enjoy a dinner out, compliments of Coach Smith" - we pretty nice, and hopefully a fair number of those players raise a glass to their former coach.

|You Know...
I saw the orginal title going into a meeting, was uneasy and a little perturbed throughout the meeting, and then came back to see the edit. First and foremost, thank you to the OP for changing this so that there was not mass panic...well, more mass panic anyway. Second, definitely be careful about reporting injuries of any kind - we've had some problems with such threads historically. Rare but significant issues, we'll say.

|Great Work...
First and foremost, excellent work, SpaceCoyote.
Above the technical details, I actually liked the brief lookback to Tressel (I didn't think about the fleeting philosophical connection before), and it is relevant really because I believe that - like Tressel - Jim Harbaugh has been / is good when it comes to getting the defense to respect the entire offense and have to worry about the entire width of the field.
They have said they'll tailor the offense - by which I assume they mean the distribution of playcalls from the broader playbook - to whoever stands out ultimately at QB. It would be interesting to see how the same basic philsophy expresses itself in that regard.

|The Previous Offers...
Taking a look at his Rivals page, and there was until just now basically a distinct lack of high-end offers. Among those listed (and this is not updated to accommodate the OP's new information) are Akron, Ball State, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Illinois State, UC Davis and a couple others. Nebraska offered him as well, according to this.
|15 hours 52 min ago
The celebration put on my Hardaway after that sinks is fantastic, in my opinion. More players should develop something like that for threes or otherwise difficult shots.
To the OP, well done on a first thread - like someone said, some recent game history and a little more detail and you're right there. Good work.

|Welcome To Michigan...
"We sent him film and talked for a while, and then it finally came about," Andrysiak said. "I've just been watching practice with (Mattison) and he said he wants me to come in at 215 and we'll go from there. I don't know, he must have liked something."
Sounds like Mattison did indeed like something. Welcome to Michigan, John Andrysiak.
Actually, I believe his father is a Cabrini grad (Allen Park), which isn't too far up the road from where I live.

|By Mid Week...
By midweek next week, they are actually talking about temperatures in the mid-50s here in SE Michigan, so hopefully the trend holds into the weekend. Actually, perhaps it gets even warmer than that, although when it gets too warm in early April, usually we get sheets of rain and the odd tornado later. Oh to be in Michigan now that spring is here indeed.

I am at a point where the Nike stuff - what remains of it in the closet - fits again and I have admittedly dragged some of it out as the weather has warmed. Of course, given years and wear, there is not much which is in gameday shape but whatever. As bright as the Adidas maize looks on television (especially after my wife has decided to eff with the brightness and contrast), I do still prefer the more subdued but much more noble Nike version. If that came back, it's definitely not a bad change at all.

OT: Zayn Malik Transferring
I do have my doubts about a One Direction thread - or rather, a thread announcing changes which would send them in another direction - would go very far on the blog. If there is more interest than I am giving the blog credit for, I can always put it back. I somehow doubt such a request will come, of course.

|Only Asking...
So, I am assuming that this is considerably more dramatic than when George Michael left Wham! because he essentially wanted to go in another direction? Alternatively, is this like those times when Black Sabbath would up and fire Dio? I guess I need to know how to process this.

|Very Interesting...
"Drake is like my coach out there, he's like my assistant," Michigan running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley said earlier this spring. "He's pointing out who made a mistake, who did what wrong. It's also keeping his mind sharp. As we call it mental reps, he gets the mental reps and is basically my second set of eyes."
Kind of an interesting way to keep Johnson thinking about the role as he recovers and gets back into it actually. I am hoping that we get to see some more Drake this year personally - it was only four games, but those were some nice contributions indeed in those four games.

"We signed a release, basically, with no strings attached," Ferentz said on the first day of Hawkeyes spring practice. "... Bottom line is I want him to be happy about the opportunities in front of him."
Ferentz also added that Rudock was in the "exploratory process" of this, but hopefully the Big Ten doesn't bungle this one.

The NBC article quotes the relevant sections of the NCAA Handbook - LINK
From a supplemental document called "Compliance Information", you get this -
A common problem for student-athletes is in the area of implied endorsements. Remember that if you demonstrate a product on behalf of a company, and/or provide a comment or interview about a product, service or company, you are jeopardizing your eligibility. Please be cautious about these types of circumstances and contact the Compliance Staff BEFORE engaging in any type of activity.
I would doubt anything really comes of this, but it is noteworthy all the same. If compensation was involved, I believe you are not eligible until the appropriate restitution is made, at least under current rules.

There is something weirdly compelling about the prospect of seeing a doctor whose name and title happens to be Dr. Wallop Promthong, although I would admittedly be wary of the notion that quite possibly their clientele might not necessarily be in the office for typical ailments. Names like Infinite Grover sort of make me think of "Sesame Street" in a different, decidely psychadelic light and Dallas Ennema sounds like something you might see Dr. Promthong about.

|Interesting Stuff...
These graphics are pretty interesting - I really didn't think about this before, for example, but Gonzaga really does carry the West Coast Conference on its back when it comes to being the main source of income for their Basketball Fund (to the tune of 60% or so). Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State and Kentucky are the top overall earners, which isn't shocking at all given the stretch of time being studied.
Very interesting stuff, OP. Thanks for sharing.

|If Nothing Else...
If nothing else, at least it was later in the day and it was 43 degrees. It was 19 degrees on the drive into work this morning. Still, those games in late October and into November can be pretty damn raw from a weather standpoint. Darboh did a nice job of putting that part in perspective, I thought.
Thanks for sharing this - these do help with the relative tedium of spring on the board.

|He's Worth It...
In my own opinion, Jim Harbaugh is worth the comfort that Michigan football is perhaps now headed in a positive direction and the confidence that the ceiling just got much higher for the program and that's before the money really. In other words, he's definitely worth the money for what this potentially means long-term and the transformations that seem to already be happening.

|By Volume...
Actually, believe it or not, on a sheer volume basis - including the number of bans / trips to Bolivia - it would be 2013. I think a lot of that had to be the growing impatience and disillusionment of many here, and indeed the threads during the Penn State game and the utter collapse of the Iowa game were epic and not exactly in a flattering way for the MGoBoard.

|Nothing Formal...
There's nothing really formal written anywhere, but it sort of works out that I am more active during the day (as time permits for me) and JGB catches some stuff later in the evening. There's a 6-7 hour graveyard shift which is largely unmanned where the board is typically on its own. I've sat down in the morning to some interesting beer-fueled threads.

Sitting down with a Guinness and trying to catch up with the board mainly. The thread on the dirtiest coaches certainly got intriguing to say the least, up to and including the odd unnecessarily histrionic reply, but such is MGoBlog.

|Interesting Line...
I went to Coach Harbaugh, expressed my feelings and was met with nothing but respect for my decision. I suspect that a man who has passion flowing through his veins could understand me wanting to find the next exciting part of my life.
I would think that there is no one in the program that would understand this decision and the reasoning behind it better than Jim Harbaugh actually, especially as with all the avenues that would have been open, he came back to his alma mater for the next exciting part of his life.

|They Could...
They could do that, as you mention, and indeed Red himself has said in interviews that if he ever felt he was in the way of this team succeeding, he would graciously step aside. At this point, of course, with one year left on his present contract and retirement looming more than likely after that, it is probably safe to assume that his statement means he'll take one more crack at this or has been cleared to do so. It's hard to imagine a scenario where Hackett would do anything.

Max did a pretty good job there, and indeed, trolling Bruins fans needs to become something of a tradition but I am not sure how that would be achieved.
As for the burger itself, I would definitely give it try. That combination on a burger actually sounds quite good.

|Larry Brown And Moving...
There is something a little uncommon about the fact that someone who has coached a team at some level since the late 1960s as Brown has to have such a lengthy resume of short stops (Kansas might have been his longest, and that's only 5-6 years, I think), but at the same time, he is thought of generally as one of the great teachers and turnaround artists in the game recently and has had success in that regard (well, OK, the Knicks....but in most other cases....).
What's interesting is that Brown played for Dean Smith, who in turn played for Phog Allen at Kansas, who in turn played for James Naismith himself. When Brown left Kansas, he was replaced by Roy Williams, who of course is now UNC's coach. Funny how it works out.

Wish I Could Be There: Notes from a Phobic Life (Google eBook)
Penguin, Jan 29, 2008 - Psychology - 288 pages
In addition to being the son of famous New Yorker editor William Shawn and brother of the distinguished playwright and actor Wallace Shawn, Allen Shawn is agoraphobic-he is afraid of both public spaces and isolation. Wish I Could Be There gracefully captures both of these extraordinary realities, blending memoir and scientific inquiry in an utterly engrossing quest to understand the mysteries of the human mind. Droll, probing, and honest, Shawn explores the many ways we all become who we are, whether through upbringing, genes, or our own choices, creating "an eloquent meditation upon the mysteries of personality and family"* and the struggle to face one's demons.

I cannot see from the manual or illustration and do not have a vehicle on hand to reference personally.
However, consistent with similar vehicles, the caliper bolts are probably removed with torx bits. Like a T-45. Hard to say though. Could be a hex bit as well.

Modernisation in Textile Industry & The Textile Engineering Industry by Mr. S. Chakrabarty, Secretary General* Textile Machinery Manufacturers' Association (India) MODERNISATION Textile Industry Modernisation is a continuous process and there should be concerted efforts to modernize both machinery and manufacturing processes regularly. It is general experience that units which maintained the process of modernisation systematically could manage to sustain their growth in the long run. Modernisation in fact is needed to increase production, reduce the cost of production, rationalize labour, reduce maintenance and power cost per unit of production etc. Due to a number of factors, the vast majority of the textile units in India never tried to regularly modernize their units. As a result the Indian Textile Industry had been suffering from technological obsolescence since the beginning of the 20th century. Backlog of modernisation There was a census of machinery carried out by the Office of the Textile Commissioner during 1979-80. Based on this census, the modernization requirement was estimated as Rs. 1,500 crore. During the 1980s, the Government introduced a soft loan scheme for modernization with an outlay of Rs. 750 crore. It turned out the main beneficiary of the Scheme was the spinning sector. After the liberalization of the import policy in 1991 it is by and large only the spinning sector, which became very vibrant and there was huge capacity expansion in the decade of 90s. Here also all the spinning machinery discarded/replaced by the textile mill industry found a new home in small spinning units located in and around Coimbatore-Tamilnadu, Ahmedabad- Gujarat and some other places in the country. Still, by and large, the spinning sector got 1 modernized and large number of 100% Export Oriented Units came into existence. The same thing did not happen in the Weaving Sector. There was total ban on expansion of weaving capacity in the composite mills sector/organised sector since the 1960s. This led to the mushrooming of the powerloom units all over the country during 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The Government periodically "regularized" such units by issuing permits. Whatever looms were discarded by the organised industry as per the replacement policy in force, used to find their way to the decentralised sector. In the year 1985, the Textile Policy liberalized the decentralized weaving sector from the permit raj and all unauthorized powerlooms with old and obsolete technology (the looms discarded by the mill sector) were again regularized by way of registration. With a view to modernize the Weaving Sector, under the pressure of the Industry, the Government liberalised import of old and outdated Sulzer looms which were available abroad at very cheap prices during 90s. At the same time the Government did not make any attempt to reduce the cost of manufacturing shuttleless looms in the country by reducing/rationalizing duties and taxes on imported components and creating a level playing field. The facilities of concessional rate of customs duty on actual user condition were removed during 1992 after liberalization of the trade and industrial policy in 1991. These policies for the user sectors (Textile Industry) were liberalised but the Textile Engineering Industry sector along with other Capital Goods sectors were left to fend for themselves without any level playing field. The foreign machinery manufacturers reaped full benefit at the cost of the domestic machinery manufacturing industry. The overall situation did not change. The history of textile Processing and Finishing Sector was somewhat different. Due to the disintegration of the composite structure of the textile industry during 70s and 80s, the decentralized processing sector emerged. At present there are over 4,500 power processors and 9,000 hand processors in the country. Huge demand for processed fabrics in 2 short lots created the preference for old technology and batch process machinery in the processing sector. Though there were number of foreign collaborations during 1970s and 1980s, the processing machinery manufacturers also moved according to the tide during this period. However, the trend changed to some extent during late 1980s and 1990s when many of the machine manufacturing companies took up development of hi-tech machines with or without foreign collaboration. This trend continued later. It is of course worthwhile to mention that some reputed textile mills in the country continued their modernisation efforts during late 80s, 90s and further, by procuring hi-tech processing & finishing machinery from domestic as well as foreign sources. Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) The prevailing technological obsolescence in the textile industry forced the Government to reassess the requirement of modernization of the Textile industry and worked out the need for modernization assistance to the extent of Rs. 25,000 crore to the Textile Industry during late 1990s. Ultimately the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) was introduced from April 1999 specifically with a view to modernize the Weaving and Processing sectors. However, there were almost no takers in the first three years of the Scheme. The effort of the Government was to see a homogeneously modernized Textile Industry in 2005 to counter the Free Trade Regime under WTO. However, this effort culminated into further modernisation of the spinning sector in a big way. In weaving sector it could see the installation of only 25,000-30,000 shuttleless looms during 1991 to 2004. Even after liberalization of import of outdated shuttleless looms, the modernization process remained incomplete. In the processing sector, the benefits of the TUFS were availed by few units while the technology level of the industry in general was very low. The demand for hi-tech machinery in processing and finishing was also 3 very limited due the presence of a large decentralised processing sector which had come into existence after disintegration of the composite textile sector. While the Government came with 20% credit Linked Capital Subsidy scheme for the Weaving sector, a special 10% upfront Capital Subsidy scheme over and above the interest subsidy was introduced for Processing sector to boost the modernisation process. This scheme helped some of the low tech units to go in for hi-tech as the cost of modernisation became substantially lower. All these efforts of the Government encouraged textile units to invest over Rs. 74000 Cr on plant and machinery since 1999 under TUFS. The textile industry has increased their spindleage from 20 million (working & non working) in early 90s to almost 32 million (working) in 2010. The loomage also increased from 1.4 million to 2.5 million (approx). Thus, it may be seen that the Government took several steps to improve the competitiveness of the textile industry whereas no steps were taken to modernise the textile engineering industry to become competitive and capable of developing hi-tech machinery in the country. Textile Engineering Industry History The organised mill sector of India is almost two centuries old. However, almost all the machinery requirements of the mill industry used to be met through imports till the 1920s. In the 1920s, India's textile engineering industry took its first steps with the manufacture of some parts and accessories. The prices of imported machinery started rising steeply after the Second World War. The Indian textile industry found it extremely difficult cope with the situation as the cost of replacement and purchase of machinery became uneconomical. This prompted the beginning of the Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) in India. The initiatives came from the textile industry to set up the textile machinery manufacturing units in the country. 4 TEXMACO, CIMMCO, Mafatlal Engineering and Lakshmi Machine Works are some of the examples which show the heavy investments made by the textile industry then to get their requirement of textile machinery at a reasonable cost as the imports were getting dearer and availability of foreign exchange became scarce during 1940s/50s/60s. Other players started coming into textile machinery from the 1970s onwards. Present Status The TEI in India is one of the five key sectors of the capital goods industry. Ever since its beginning during the 1940s, it created a strong engineering base capable of manufacturing almost the entire range of machinery for main three sectors of the textile industry, viz spinning, weaving and processing. Having supplied over 70% of the requirements of the textile industry from the 1960s to the 1990s, it has over the last five and a half decades, built up an annual estimated capacity of over Rs. 8000 crore of complete machinery and other equipment, right from opening up of the fibres to the production of finished fabrics with an investment of Rs. 6,900 crores. There are 1446 units, 598 units manufacturing complete machinery and 848 units making parts and accessories. More than 80% of the units are SMEs. It provides employment directly or indirectly to > 250,000 people. It is needless to mention that the TEI has been contributing greatly to the competitiveness of the Indian Textile Industry (TI) since inception and at present meets 45-50% of the overall demand of the Indian textile industry whose main constituent is ginning, spinning, weaving and processing. Though garment and knitting sector made their progress during 1980s onwards, due to the SSI reservation policy of the Government the machinery manufacturing for the same by the domestic companies did not take place and it was limited to the domestic sewing machine, etc for garment tailoring and low tech knitting machines for hosiery items like banyans and undergarments. 5 Production (Value in Rs. crore) 2009-10 CATEGORIES 2004- 05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 Spinning & Allied Machines 2204.63 2618.86 3423.12 3662.22 2417.44 2105.00 Synthetic fibre/yarn machines 376.42 447.20 584.48 625.30 412.79 830.00 Weaving & allied machines 374.23 444.49 580.95 621.64 410.35 495.00 Processing machines 382.36 454.11 593.85 635.19 419.29 460.00 Miscellaneous (spinning, 120.00 weaving & processing) machines 111.52 132.42 172.99 185.26 122.00 Textile testing / monitoring / 30.00 controlling equipment / systems 73.34 87.14 114.01 121.86 80.43 Hosiery needles & machines 30.36 36.04 47.00 50.46 33.31 35.00 Textile machinery parts & 170.00 accessories 152.41 181.32 237.04 253.07 167.39 Total 3705.27 4401.58 5753.44 6155.00 4063.00 4245.00 Percentage Increase +4% (Decrease) over previous +20% +31% +7% -34% year Source: Office of Textile Commissioner & TEI Production, Export and Import of Textile Machinery, Parts & Accessories 8000 6884 7000 6155 (Value in Rs.

However, the acute demand recession during 2008- 2009 & 2009-2010, has adversely affected the growth of the TEI significantly. The capacity utilization of the industry which increased during 2004-05 to 2007-08 fallen in the subsequent years due to demand recession. A turnaround is expected during 2010-11 with a positive growth of 25% over 2009-10. Capability There are a large number of SMEs manufacturing complete machinery as well as all types of components/parts and accessories, testing and monitoring equipments and auxiliaries. A good number of firms are of international standard in terms of product design, capacities and technology. The SMEs developed their products by indigenising technology through foreign collaborations/joint ventures and/or obtaining technical know how from R&D Centres and Technical Institutes within the country or by their own developments. Spinning The entire range of spinning machinery is manufactured in India, including blowroom machinery, cards, draw frame, combers, speed frame, ring frame, ancillary machinery, open-end spinning, two for one twisting and auto-cone winding machines and parts and accessories of international standard. Capacity:- Rs. 4561 Cr. Year Production (Rs. Cr.) Export Rs. (Rs. Cr.) Import (Rs. Cr.) 2007-08 3662 125 2629 2008-09 2417 99 1857 2009-10 2105 75 1273 2010-11* 3500 80 1200 * provisional There are import of cheap spinning machinery from China of 15% (approx),, second hand machinery of 15% (approx), and components of 7 20% (approx), the balance is hi-tech items from Europe. The technology gap is minimal. Weaving The weaving industry in India is mainly concentrated in the states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat. India became self-sufficient in weaving preparatory machinery i.e. high speed sectional warping, direct warping and sizing by and large matching up with world class technology. The machines produced in the pre-weaving segments such as winding, twisting, rewinding, warping and sizing, are of international standards and are exported to several countries. The TEI in India has developed shuttleless rapier looms, airjet looms and waterjet looms. Majority of parts and accessories for weaving preparatory machinery and weaving machinery are manufactured in India. India is the largest manufacturer of plain and automatic looms. Shuttleless rapier looms, airjet looms and waterjet looms are also being manufactured. There is still a technology gap in the main looms used for weaving. Capacity:- Rs. 703 Cr. Year Production (Rs. Cr.) Export Rs. (Rs. Cr.) Import (Rs.

Processing Almost the entire range of processing machinery is now being manufactured in the country, with continuous scouring, bleaching, mercerising, washing, 8 dyeing plants, preshrinking ranges and more, being produced by domestic manufacturers. The indigenous machinery available now competes on an even footing with their European counterparts with low liquor to material ratio, and is capable of processing fabric with comparable results at a very reasonable cost. Many critical electronic components and equipments are still imported. All other types of parts and accessories are also made in India. Capacity:-Rs. 886 Cr. Year Production (Rs. Cr.) Export Rs. (Rs.

Slowly and steadily the gap is being minimized. Testing & Monitoring Equipments The Indian textile engineering industry started developing testing and monitoring equipment in the 60s and today a wide range of high quality latest generation testing and monitoring equipment is being manufactured in the country. Almost 80% of the requirement is met by the domestic manufacturers. The total Capacity is 220.17 crores. In this segment critical components and electronic controls are imported. Synthetic Machinery The Textile Engineering Industry located mainly in and around Surat & other parts of Gujarat, developed synthetic yarn and fabric processing machinery viz. draw texturising machines, draw twisters, two-for-one twisters for filament yarn, zero-twist filament sizing machines, rewinders and precision cone winding machines. With the development of such machinery indigenously, the industry is not only catering to domestic demand but is also exporting the same. Here the percentage share of demand is 80-90%. 9 Capacity:- Rs. 1000 Cr.(approx) Year Production (Rs. Cr.) Export Rs. (Rs. Cr.) Import (Rs. Cr.) 2007-08 625 9.00 59 2008-09 413 6.00 154 2009-10 830 14.00 167 2010-11 900 15.00 200 Most of the components of the synthetic fibre/filament mechanical processing machinery are made in India. Surat, Rajkot, Surendranagar are the main centers for the manufacture of spindles, spindle pots, spindle inserts, etc. Only critical electronic equipment like PLC controls, servo motors etc. are imported. There is practically no technology gap. There is no manufacturer of fibre/filament producing machinery except PP production line. Jute Machinery Even in jute machinery the percentage share of demand met by local manufacturers is over 60%. There are half a dozen good manufacturer of jute machinery in the eastern sector. Many items of jute machinery are being manufactured in the country. The total capacity may not exceed Rs. 70 crores. Lagan Engineering Co.Ltd., Kolkata is the major manufacturer of jute machinery and its parts, components and accessories. There are some small engineering units also manufacturing jute machinery parts and accessories in Kolkata, West Bengal. Other Parts and Accessories Several other spares and accessories are also play major role in manufacturing and maintenance of textile machineries these are :Bearings, Beams, Bobbins, Bobbin Holders, Bushes, Card Gauges, Ceramic Guides, Cone and Tubes, Cops-Aluminum/Steel, Drums, Filters, Flat Tops, Motors, Needles, Pins, Pirns, Belts, Rollers, Humidifiers, Over Head Traveling Cleaners, Shuttles, Spindle Tapes, Trolleys, etc. 10 Items not manufactured Hi-tech garment making machinery and knitting machinery are not made in India. There is of course no shortage of ordinary domestic sewing machines and low tech knitting machines. The decentralized character of the hosiery and garment sector was not conducive for indigenous development. The capacity of domestic hosiery and garment making machinery is approx. Rs. 70 crores. Similar is the case of nonwoven and technical textiles machinery. There was very little demand in the past. However there are many technical textile items which are being manufactured in indigenous machines eg. Glass fiber fabrics, fish nets, mosquito nets, filter fabrics etc etc. A Robust TEI -Catalyst for an All-round Growth Investments to the tune of Rs. 3,20,000 crores (US$ 68 Bn) would be required to be made by Indian textile industry by 2020. (Source: Technopak). This presents a huge potential for the TEI and a win-win for all stake-holders. High-tech machines and so also accessories manufactured from India are generally found to be 15-30% cheaper than comparable imported machines, thus offering huge savings. It would also accrue considerable savings to the Indian textile industry in terms of total cost of ownership due to the availability of faster and cheaper service, spares, etc., locally. This would create tremendous economic benefits to India due to saving in foreign exchange outgo, creation of more employment, and bolster the tax income of the government. The close proximity between TEI and the Indian textile industry would help in product development, process improvement, etc. through much closer interactions. It would also enable the TEI to become much more self-reliant and vibrant, setting off a multiplier effect adding to the dynamism of the textile engineering industry, textile industry and the country. Potential of the TEI The Indian Textile Engineering Industry has played a significant role in the growth and development of the textile industry in the country over 11 the past 50 years. There are a number of factors that will play a key role in developing a global brand and in shaping the future of the Indian TEI. The TEI will need to embark upon a well planned path of investing to create both short term and long term capabilities to create a sustainable competitive advantage through innovation and operational efficiencies. There is an imperative need to incentivise and support such activities of the TEI through Government's initiatives. Creation of a suitable policy framework by the Government would be able to generate an atmosphere conducive for such growth oriented innovations. Industry-academic collaborations are needed to foster applied R&D and relevant academic programs, and create a talent pool. Focused R&D programs and Centres of Excellence in the Indian Institutes of Technology and other Regional Engineering Colleges as well as Textile Research Institutes may create much needed channels to attract graduate students to the textile engineering discipline. More focus may be given to diploma engineers who are likely to remain in the industry after being trained. For a long term and sustainable growth, it would be necessary to adopt a public private partnership model in most of such programmes to make it viable. Export of technical and engineering services to the third world countries should be thought of to avoid demand recession along with vigorous efforts for exports. Conclusion A cursory look at the developments in the Indian textile industry and textile engineering industry also reveal that the government policies were squarely responsible for the imbalanced growth the textile industry, which has now proved to be our greatest disadvantage in competing with some of the textile power houses like China. There is a tremendous scope for the Indian textile industry and textile engineering industry to grow hand in hand. The need of the hour is to have a holistic vision for a sustained and long-term development and growth 12 of these industries and the country. There is a need to discourage outdated technology, specifically under the banner of modernization. There is also need to encourage the development and manufacture of high technology machine by the domestic industry. This can propel the Indian textile and textile engineering industry flourish on the global arena, and make India truly shine. The Textile Engineering Industry's vision is to build up a strong TEI that can grow, compete, and export; which would provide strong support to the Indian textile industry, to make it vibrant, and competitive. It would acquire technological strength in all sectors, as we already have in spinning, and meet 70-75% of the demand of Indian textile industry for high tech machinery, from the current position of 45-50% with continuous capacity scale-up commensurate with increased demand. India would become a manufacturing hub for textile machinery, parts/components and accessories, contributing further to employment generation & GDP. The Textile Engineering Industry hopes to get wholehearted support from all stakeholders and the Government in their endeavour. --- *This article reflects the personal views of the author 13

He has been staying w/me temporarily, and for the past three mths, he has suddenly developed some very real problems with his eyesight, he feels nauseous at certain times of the day (which is happening more often now) and most of all (that has me worried) is... since this last episode, his whole personality seems to be different. VERY different. He suddenly has terrible OCD (which makes him extremely hard to live with), he cannot hold a job, his memory is absolutely horrible and he has now been getting headaches a lot!!
He really wants to have an MRI done of the brain, but his drs that he does see (for other issues) seem to think obviously that this isn't necessary. I'm really not sure if he has mentioned "everything" to the Dr so I don't know what to think! All I know is that much of the time these days he is NOT the same person he always was before the last beating that he took (for lack of a better way of putting it) and I am extremely scared for him. And at his age, I'm sure people would find it very strange that I am the way I am about my kids, but they just don't always "do the right things" for themselves that would maybe be better FOR them! It almost seems as though he is now a 37 yr old many with about a 16 yr old's mentality! It is NOT a good situation at all. And he has children that he has to co-raise which really has me concerned, because the child's mother leaves MUCH to be DESIRED when it comes to even just "adequate" parenting!!
Does anyone have ANY idea of what these symptoms that he is having could possibly mean? It is actually the answer to "this question" that has me so very worried! But thank you SO MUCH for your time (AND... for helping me in ANY way that you can with this issue. I appreciate it more than you will ever know.
Thanks again...

Since 9/28 only ride stationary bike for my cardio and don't do legs exercises or classes at gym to avoid knee pain.

Where the pins and plate are installed; the muscles and tissues obviously heal and use on to them. During this healing process what can be done to ease that pain? Yes Yes I'm keeping the leg elevated and iced down and am doing recommended exercises. But I feel sharp and very painful spasms, twinges and stabbing pains along the pins.
Is what I'm feeling damage I may have caused by also probably trying to do too much before all the healing is complete or is it just that im over sensitive?View Thread

I was wondering if anyone is aware of any interesting research or statistics regarding preventable sports injuries? More specifically, I'm looking for data such as the percentage (or number) of sports injuries that are preventable. These will be non-contact injuries likely caused by the primary culprit of sprains and strains. Further data on the amount of money spent treating these injuries would also be of great benefit to me.
If anyone could shine some light on this topic I would be very much appreciative.

Wondering if someone can tell me what type of knee pain I have and what I should do?
In 2012, while working at a local mcdonald's I sat down for lunch after work and had severe pain in right knee if I straightened leg. I didn't see a doctor for this, just iced it every night I went to bed and wore a knee brace for a week. The knee was perfectly fine.
I used to get knee pain if I ran on the treadmill for a few days without the brace. Maybe this was because I ran about 5.0 speed and it was on a treadmill that could go negative incline. I would put on -3 incline, lowest it would go.
July 1st got moderate pain in right knee, was only sitting in recliner watching tv. Now everytime I am sitting knees bent or doing leg exercises like squats or lunges I get knee pain. I wear an open patella knee brace everytime I workout. Sometimes even with the brace on and exercising I'll get knee pain
What is this? What should I do for this-Doctor, Stretching/Exercises? Any advice would be appreciated.
What if I do nothing and just continue to use brace. the insurance I have right now is Medicaid from Illinois.View Thread
I do not know what this means nor do I have any idea how serious the injury is in reality. I would appreciate a few clarifications on this terminology, if someone would be so inclined.
I also have both arms that were surgically repaired, the left was in an external fixator for over 3 months and there is still bone fragments missing from the bones in that arm. On the right, there is a titanium plate that was used to hold the bone together as it healed, but that is now causing some severe pain and has diminished the use of that hand.
MRI of the Lumbosacral spine:
There is a 4 mm broad disc protrusion with a left foraminal annular tear. There is ligamentum flavum redundancy. There is moderate canal stenosis. The disc protrusion impinges upon the traversing L5 nerve roots. There is moderate narrowing of the neural foramina by foraminal disc bulges, which abut the exiting L4 nerve roots.
Cervical spine: C5-C6;
There is a 3mm central disc protrusion effacing the thecal sac and flattening the ventral surface of the cord. There is moderate canal stenosis. There are uncovertebral joint spurs with mild narrowing of the neural foramina.
C7: There is a 2mm central disc protrusion effacing the thecal sac.
MRI Right Wrist:
There is fluid in the flexor pollicis longus tendon sheath consistent with tenosynovitis.
There is quite a bit more but that should give someone an idea of what the problem is. Thank you for your time and assistance.View Thread

My school was rather aggressive with exercises, including early mobilization protocols and that if you're in doubt or its a grey area, then get it moving. The outpatient PT I've been seeing is similar, and I listen to her because she has more experience both in sports injury than myself and she knows the hip better than I do.
The approach we've been using is to move the hip unless there is clear and convincing evidence to not do so, like severe I want to cry pain. In the face of mild or moderate pain, we've both agreed to continue to move it, including myofascial release techniques....so it's an aggressive approach meant to get the muscles stronger to take the pressure off the tendon. Even so, we will downgrade the exercise if there is increasing pain, so we've both done our best to get the benefits of exercise while trying to listen to the tendon and back off if it starts to scream.
However, since the labrum was repaired 9 weeks ago, the lateral hip pain has flared up to severe pain levels 4 times necessitating me doing only gentle active range, icing, and resting for a few days. In all cases, I can point to overdoing it with the hip just before the flare. My concern is whether we're being too aggressive and overstressing the tendon and whether it could progress to tendon degeneration if it hasn't already. At the same time, I definitely can appreciate trying to keep ROM and muscle strength up.
We spoke about it, and she said she definitely thought a more conservative approach was in order and that I was in a grey area in terms of how aggressive with the exercises to be. So, we're learning together and experimenting with what program will allow the tendon enough rest to heal, but exercise things enough to help prevent atrophy, stiffness, adhesions and scars around the labral repair, etc. She doesn't want muscles to get too weak because weak muscles that are tight can lead to injury. I've been having the greater trochanter hip pain for 6 and a half months now and the last corticosteroid injection lasted only 2 weeks.
Does anyone have advice or a reference on conservative approaches? The PT I've been seeing gave me her ideas, and I'm just hunting around to learn more as well. I really like the PT I"m seeing, so it's not meant to be anything negative on her....just trying to see what the range of opinions that are out there are. From what I gather, it would include the usual rest, ice, pain free range of motion until the pain goes away, then very slowly and gradually adding only activity that is pain free, but to stop and rest if there is any pain at all as opposed to waiting for the pain to be severe.
The PT I'm seeing is very good, and she's very honest and has good integrity and really works to benefit patients to the best of her ability. I'm getting over the 4th flare by resting, icing, pain free range of motion, gentle stretches after a warm bath daily, and am trying to decide how I feel most comfortable progressing after the pain subsides.
I'm thinking of continuing to use the one crutch, doing the gentle ROM daily, and adding in a stationary bike low resistance twice a week for 5-10 minutes before ROM, core strengthening, calf strengthening, strengthen non involved leg and then reassess in a few weeks. I especially would like information on how a conservative approach would seek to not only protect the injured tendon, but how it seeks to maintain muscle strength and ROM. Thanks.View Thread

Russia warns US not to attack Syria
Russia warns US about the consequences of attacking Syria in order to punish it for using chemical weapons. The US and is allies are drafting plans for an attack, apparently giving little heed to Russia's warning.
Beirut and Moscow
U.S. allies were drafting plans for air strikes and other military action against Syria on Tuesday, as President Bashar al-Assad's enemies vowed to punish a poison gas attack that Washington called a "moral obscenity".
"We have no plans to go to war [over this], but we hope that others will think carefully about their own long-term interests," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.
Although Mr. Lavrov said nothing new, there was a discernibly fresh tone of diplomatic desperation that suggests Moscow has lost hope that a US-led military intervention in Syria can be forestalled, and is now preparing for a changed world in which there will no longer be even a semblance of US-Russian cooperation on Middle Eastern issues like the jointly brokered Geneva peace conference to bring together both sides in the Syrian conflict, reports The Christian Science Monitor.
Facing Russian and Chinese disapproval that will complicate hopes for a united front backed by international law, and keen to win over wary voters at home, Western leaders seem in no rush to pull the trigger. British Prime Minister David Cameron called parliament back from recess for a session on Syria on Thursday.
U.N. experts trying to establish what killed hundreds of civilians in rebel-held suburbs of Damascus last Wednesday were finally able to cross the frontline on Monday to see survivors - despite being shot at in government-held territory. But they put off a second visit until Wednesday.
However, U.S. officials said President Barack Obama already had little doubt Assad's forces were to blame. Turkey, Syria's neighbour and part of the U.S.-led NATO military pact, called it a "crime against humanity" that demanded international reaction.
The Syrian government, which denies using gas, said it would press on with its offensive against rebels around the capital. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said U.S. strikes would help al Qaeda allies but called Western leaders "delusional" if they hoped to aid the rebels to create a balance of power in Syria.

Mannings Blush
Any one know where I can purchase Mannings Blush? HMF lists only one nursery, but want $45.00 for custom probligation.
Gary Manning
Gary, I can understand your desire to find this rose. I'd be all over one with my family name if such existed. ;-)
I'm assuming the nursery you're talking about custom propagating is Vintage? I do believe they've suspended custom propagation for the time being anyway. But in case you overlooked it, there is also Greenmantle Nursery listed and Mannings Blush is available according to their website, listed under Sweetbriers. Try contacting them. Another thought, although there are precious few HMF members in the U.S. who list this rose in their private gardens, perhaps contacting some of them through HMF might garner you cuttings or suckers. Good luck in your search!

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals TE Jake Ballard retires from NFL
The Arizona Cardinals' crowded tight end room just got a little roomier with veteran Jake Ballard announcing his retirement from the NFL Wednesday.
Ballard, who appeared in eight games for the Cardinals last season, released the following statement via ProFootballTalk.com:
"Yesterday I made the difficult decision to retire from the game of football," Ballard said. "I love this game and have put my heart and soul into it for as long as I can remember. After sustaining a serious knee injury while playing for the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, my body never felt the same. Having a quality of life after football is very important to me and I have witnessed it taken away from others. I will miss the game tremendously, but I am ready for this next chapter in my life. It was an honor and a privilege to play for the NY Giants, New England Patriots, and most recently the Arizona Cardinals. I met amazing people from all of my teammates, to opponents, to trainers, to coaches, to owners, and everyone in between. I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your fraternity and I wish you all nothing but success."
Thanks for all the support! The pain was just too much. I had to start thinking about my future! I've been blessed! #ontothenextone— Jake ballard (@TheJakeBallard) August 6, 2014
The Cardinals placed Ballard on the reserve/retired list. Prior to this announcement he was listed as a first string tight end on the team's initial depth chart.
Ballard, 26, caught seven passes for 75 yards with two touchdowns last season. In his career, the former Ohio State Buckeye appeared in 22 games, tallying 45 receptions for 679 yards and six touchdowns.
Ballard's retirement leaves the Cardinals with tight ends John Carlson, Rob Housler, Troy Niklas, Darren Fells and Andre Hardy on the roster.

The DC Protein Assay reagents contain both detergent and base which are required for cell lysis of many cell samples prior to determination of total cellular protein. The following protocol can be used for tissue cells; dry cells; protein precipitates from heat, acid, or acetone treatment; or any other samples that require both sodium hydroxide and detergent for solubilization.
1. Wash cells or protein precipitate. Using an isotonic solution such as TBS or PBS, suspend the sample in excess buffer and mix by inversion or vortex mixer. Centrifuge sample or precipitate until a tight pellet has formed. Discard the supernatant.
2. Prepare working reagent A' by mixing 20 l Reagent S to each milliliter of Reagent A that will be needed for the assay. Mix by gentle inversion to prevent foaming.
3. Add 1 ml working reagent A' to approximately 1 x 106 cells. Vortex intermittently for 510 minutes, and heat to 60 C (if necessary) to solubilize the pellet.
4. Cool mixture to room temperature. In order to accurately determine protein concentration, several dilutions of the digestion with reagent A' should be made (1:2, 1:4, 1:8, etc.). Record the dilution factors for correction in the final protein concentrations.
5. Create a standard curve. Transfer 100 l of the standard into a clean test tube. Three to five data points should be generated. Either standard supplied with the kit (BSA or IgG) can be used, since both react similarly to the DC Protein Assay reagents.
6. Transfer 500 l sample of serially diluted samples from step 5 into
clean test tubes.* To correct for volume difference between samples and
