Run Offense vs. Iowa
This looked pretty awesome on Michigan's part until the State game, when it looked like early last year. What to make of that? One of two things: Michigan's early-season proficiency was built on a lot of erratic big plays that are not necessarily replicable, or Michigan State's got some sort of bead on the Michigan rushing game akin to the one they drew last year, when the Michigan State game was an outlier amongst a five-game sea of excellent rushing offense.
A couple things are clear. David Molk's absence is a big deal, and the scorching early success of the play this site termed the "zone counter dive"—as in a counter dive to the zone play, not a zone blocked counter—is not likely to be replicated now that backside defensive ends are warily sliding down the line looking for it. Michigan didn't have a response for that, nor did they have much of a way of getting the quarterback in a position to exploit that sort of coverage.
Compounding matters are health issues for Michigan's top two backs. Carlos Brown, the #1 so far this year, is likely out with a concussion. Brandon Minor, the thunderous force behind Michigan's second-half renaissance last year, has a total of 35 carries in the first five games, as he's been hampered by an ankle sprain all year. Minor is likely to start; sophomore Mike Shaw will be thrust into a prominent role in a tough situation.
As far as Iowa goes, I'd been operating under the assumption they were fierce beyond reason but the numbers aren't that great:
|Iowa State
|Penn State
|Arkansas State
In five games against what seems like a largely unthreatening slate of opponents, Iowa's giving up 4.6 YPC. A closer look at Iowa's opponents reveals some shocking numbers, though: Iowa State is #20 in rush offense and Arizona(!) is #11. Both other I-A opponents are above average, and UNI is running around taking a machete to the rest of I-AA.
So that may be understandable. It's still not quite as dominant as you'd expect given the hype train building behind the Iowa rush defense. Your ESPN-approved mostly meaningless stat of the week: Iowa hasn't given up a rushing touchdown in 33 quarters. Woo! They gave up over 5 YPC to Iowa State with no carry longer than 17 yards! Not so woo!
This won't be an Eastern or Indiana romp but it shouldn't be a reprise of the Michigan State game. Michigan's got to pull some extra stuff out of the playbook; last week Michigan State was well-prepared for Michigan and Iowa's last game, though close, was against Arkansas State. That game prep week probably spent a day or two on Michigan; Iowa will be ready for the stuff Michigan's already shown.
Assuming some new looks (veers? options? Florida-esque triple option shovel to Koger? lots more Robinson and Forcier in same backfield?), Michigan should get its yards at a steady, but not amazing, clip. This may be foolish but I think the Iowa State YPC numbers are attainable. Penn State is clearly a mess on the OL, and proved that with weak rushing performances throughout the conference schedule. Michigan has proven itself on another level on the ground this year.
Key Matchup: Rodriguez and Magee vs the Same Old Stuff. This might be problematic because of Forcier's injury. I assume that Michigan wanted to provide some new looks against State but with Tate limited in practice last week (and this week) they were not confident in new packages that require option pitches to run them.
(Side note: last week's key matchup was Michigan guards vs Jones, which was termed the difference between six yards and a touchdown; argh argh argh.)
Pass Offense vs. Iowa
Thanks to the generosity of Austin Arnaud and Darryl Clark, Iowa sits an intimidating fourth in pass defense efficiency. It's not just the interceptions that got them there. Doing this to a senior who probably should have been the conference's preseason offensive player of the year…
|Daryll Clark
…is frightening, shaky offensive line or no. And that goes double when a 79-yard touchdown on a bust was the first play of the game. Iowa's got two excellent cornerbacks, a safety with some crazy ability to intercept deflected balls, and a marauding defensive line that causes the hizzies in Iowa cizzie to lose their damn minds.
Michigan, meanwhile, has Tate Forcier, a middling set of receivers, and an offensive line with serious problems on the right side. This is where the thousand-year tenure of Iowa's Norm Parker hurts: Iowa knows what it's supposed to do and is the sort of team that has discipline above all, which should keep Forcier in the pocket, where he's uncomfortable, and not on the perimeter, where he waves his unicorn wand and conjures fourth-quarter touchdowns out of glue and beetle wings.
One thing to look for especially is some sort of counterpunch to team's successful deployment of the 4-3 against Michigan and the bubble screen. Both of the last two weeks opponents have used the safety as a kamikaze downhill defender against bubble screens, which has allowed them to stack the box, keep contain, and remove all three options in Michigan's triple option zone read. Steve Sharik suggests some alternatives in a diary post that involve 4-wide formations with double slots and run plays that zip into the secondary, which now has no safeties, for big gainers.
My take on that topic: man, turning that bubble route into a wheel and pairing it with a skinny post is almost guaranteed to get a guy wide open for a big gainer. We'll have to see whether Iowa plays it the same way; if they do and Michigan doesn't take advantage of the opportunities presented by that freakout, it'll be hard to see Michigan having a ton of success against an Iowa pass defense that has rocked so far. Michigan will get some yards because it's 2009 but this promises to be Forcier's worst day of the year.
Key Matchup: This is obvious but: getting some pass protection. Michigan was 37/57 last week, which is really bad.
Run Defense vs. Iowa
Iowa's been pretty meh here. Jewel Hampton's season-ending knee injury momentarily thrust Paki O'Meara panic back to the forefront in Iowa City, but the Paki Bomb was quickly supplanted by a couple of freshmen who are splitting carries about evenly because they are statistically indistinguishable from each other:
Wegher is an oddity in many ways: he's a white guy from Iowa who was given four stars by Rivals. Robinson was recruiting non-entity whose only offer was an Iowa grayshirt (IE: come in next January, kid, when we have room). Insert recruiting debate we're not having here.
Iowa has gone up against three good rush defenses in Arizona (19), Penn State (11), and Arkansas State (30) and has been juggling the offensive line due to injuries. Star tackle Bryan Bulaga missed three games with an illness and returned for the ASU game, which resulted in this:
"We were not very happy with our performance as an offensive line," guard Julian Vandervelde said. "I suppose it's good to have that sort of performance and still come out with a win. That'll motivate us this week to work a lot harder at the things we need to improve on. We'll spend a lot more time in the film room and on the practice field focusing on the details this week."
… They always say the film is never as good or bad as you think it's going to be. Sometimes, that's just not true. It's every bit as bad as you thought it was going to be. This was probably one of those weekends."
The Red Wolves (why does every team that replaces their offensive Indian nickname put "red" in their new nickname? discuss) held Iowa to 124 yards on 33 carries, 3.8 per. That was Iowa's second-worst game of the year on the ground. The worst? The 87 yards they put up against Northern Iowa. Suggestion for Michigan: join the SWAC temporarily.
This will be an interesting test for Michigan's possibly-competent-when-aligned-correctly nouveau run defense, which crushed Michigan State's primitive attack to the tune of less than 3 YPC for the running backs. And Michigan State's pitch touchdown run was another instance of a badly misaligned defense similar to the 85-yard doom run by Indiana. Expect one or two of those against Iowa.
Outside of that stuff, Michigan's rushing defense was dominant. This is thanks in part to Brandon Graham (who actually graded out better in Steve Sharik's evaluation of the game than he did in his record-setting day in UFR):
And it's thanks in part to Michigan saying "screw it, we're an eight-man front" and dropping Jordan Kovacs into the box on almost every play:
That worked well and I expect Michigan will continue to do it, as they have a number of players with limited skill sets that they can take advantage of in very specific ways. For one: Jonas Mouton is a talented blitzer who's struggled with coverage and whatnot and Michigan decided they'd just blitz the hell out of him against State, to good effect. More of that will probably happen against Iowa.
The other aspect of the "run" defense to watch may not be run defense at all: Kirk Cousins averaged 10 YPC on 7 carries last Saturday despite his well-deserved reputation as a pocket passer. Stanzi's even more of a pocket passer—he's got –50 rushing yards on the year—but anyone can run up into the great wide open Michigan was graciously providing Cousins. Dollars to donuts Michigan spent a lot of time working on maintaining rush lane integrity; Stanzi's not likely to replicate Cousins's feat. Obi Ezeh is a lock to get dragged out of his zone, opening up at least one key, frustrating third down conversion.
Key Matchup: Ryan Van Bergen vs Iowa Interior OL. Van Bergen's emergence the last couple weeks has been the hidden secret to the run defense. He was able to prevent himself from getting sealed or blown back by MSU's OL and this removed just about the last weak spot on the line against the run. A reprise against Iowa's line would be very good for this game and the next two and a half seasons.
Pass Defense vs. Iowa
Here, again, Iowa has been fairly meh. Ricky Stanzi has thrown two pick-sixes in the last three games and is currently 70th in passer efficiency. That's a severe drop from last year, when Stanzi was the better half of a two-headed QB (recruitin' bust Jake Christensen was the other) and finished 34th. Stanzi's completing only 58% of his passes, has 7 interceptions to 8 touchdowns, all of which were against UNI, Iowa State, and Arkansas State, and averages 7.1 YPA. None of these marks are particularly good, and the rotating line has given up two sacks a game. There is some potential for Michigan to not soil themselves here.
Injuries have hampered Iowa here as well. Obviously, the line's been an issue. Iowa's also missed TE Tony Moeaki and WR Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, a man whose name is so long the NCAA's official site gives up somewhere in the middle of his second last name, for chunks of the season. With both those guys tentatively healthy and Bulaga back, Iowa figures to be a bit better than they have been so far. The prospect of Moeaki, who's been an excellent receiving tight end in the rare instances when he's healthy, against Michigan's dodgy linebacking crew is not a tantalizing one.
On the other side of the ball, Michigan has thrown a walk-on in as a full time starter and is thinking about moving once and future cornerback Troy Woolfolk from safety in an effort to shore up the corner spot opposite Donovan Warren, where virtually all opponent passes go. Mike Williams will slot in at free safety in that situation, leaving Michigan more vulnerable to long gainers but hopefully less likely to give up 130 yard, ten minute drives. It's ugly. I said there was little chance this went well against Michigan State and that was borne out; there is a chance it goes better against Stanzi and company but to get the horrible interception Michigan is going to have to cover some guys. Maybe Woolfolk can do that and maybe Michigan's linebackers can remove the head from the butt in the zone coverage; I'll remain doubtful about that until I see it.
Here, as always, the key is to get pressure on the quarterback. Dead donkeys cannot be covered, etc.
Key Matchup: Graham versus The Idiotic Idea You Can Single Block Him, or Brian Bulaga. I assume Iowa won't make the same mistake State did and let Graham run wild against single blocking unless they try it a couple times with Bulaga and it works out. Sharik notes that Michigan's gone to a strictly field-boundary scheme in the aftermath of the 85-yard touchdown run—ie, no flipping the line when Iowa realigns, so if Iowa wants to they'll be able to get Bulaga on Graham whenever it's not an obvious passing down. If Graham can win that battle and demand a second blocker, or just win that battle and cause Stanzi to do his usual interception thing, Michigan's in it.
Special Teams
During my podcast interaction with Oops Pow Surprise of Black Heart Gold Pants, he blasphemously asserted that Iowa's punter, whose name is something like Boring Smith, was the Big Ten's finest. I inadvertently uttered an expletive—as opposed to the intentional, if somewhat stammered ones earlier in the podcast—in reaction. And it is blasphemy. Boring Smith and the Hawkeyes are 31st in net punting. Michigan is fifth. Michigan should pick up an extra four yards every time punts are exchanged.
Michigan should also have an advantage in kick returns, where Iowa is 98th and Michigan is 25th; punt returns, which Michigan just doesn't bother with anymore (107th!) probably won't be relevant because opponents have only returned 7 of Zoltan's 26 punts and those have gone for five yards each because the opponents has invariably been surrounded by spread punt gunners of all varieties.
In the kicking game, Jason Olesnavage is now 5/6 of the season with proven range in the mid- to high-40s, though his one miss was a chip shot. Iowa's Daniel Murray has more of a track record but it's not a great one: he's 6/9 this year, was 6/9 last year, and was 7/10 the year before that. Tentative advantage here goes to Michigan.
Key Matchup: Can I cease saying CATCH THE DAMN BALL? I think so. How about field goal kickin'. Iowa's guy seems more likely to miss one and that could be a BFD.
Cheap Thrills
Worry if...
- The right side of the line reprises their Swiss cheese impression from the State game.
- Tate looks out of sorts because of the cold.
- Stanzi's finding open receivers alll over.
Cackle with knowing glee if...
- Iowa fails to crease the Michigan DL and has to put a lot of the game on Stanzi…
- …and Stanzi responds with his traditional festive interceptions.
- There are a lot of punts because Boring Smith sucks.
Fear/Paranoia Level: 9 out of 10. (Baseline 5, +1 for Hello Iowa City Night Game, +1 for Probably Best Team M Has Played So Far, +1 for Spread Nearing Double Digits, +1 for M OL Vs Iowa DL Looks Like Not Fun Things That Are No Fun, –1 for But There Is The Tate Hulk Up To Account For, +1 for Dammit We Rushed For 28 Yards Last Game).
Desperate need to win level: 4 out of 10. (Baseline 5, –1 for This Is Not One That Anyone Expects To Pick Up, –1 for And The Fanbase Isn't Even Annoying, –1 for And No One Even Knows An Iowa Graduate, Right, +1 for The Battle Of Mary Sue Coleman, +1 for Man, 5-1 With A Road Win In Iowa City Heading Into Delaware State Sounds Like A Recipe For New Year's Day )
Loss will cause me to... not be particularly surprised.
Win will cause me to... probably get kidnapped and stuck in the Black Heart Gold Basement.
The strictures and conventions of sportswriting compel me to predict:
I'd like to walk back some of the negativity I've offered on the radio and podcasts of late. I hadn't taken a close enough look at Iowa and seen how mistake-prone Stanzi's been or that the run defense looks fairly permeable, at least for Iowa. I still don't think Michigan wins but I was offering up 8-10 point margins earlier this week, and I now think Michigan will be closer than that, not least because of Tate Forcier's late-game heroics.
The prediction below is weird: it builds in what appears to be a 50-50 shot at Iowa having one more game-crippling mistake than Michigan. I think if M gets that game crippling mistake they will be in it at the end with a chance to win, possibly attempting to defend and Iowa game-winning drive. If they don't I think they end up in a hole and threaten to break out of it from time to time but never actually do so, with the cold and the crowd and the Iowa defense finally reining in Forcier when the game's on the line.
Finally, opportunities for me to look stupid Sunday:
- Minor has like 90% of the carries.
- Michigan finally pulls something out of the bag of tricks.
- Woolfolk moves to corner and Iowa gets a big play because of safety error because of it.
- Iowa, 20-17.
MGoPodcast 1.7: Iowa Preview With Oops Pow Surprise
This week on the podcast we talk about the Michigan State game (bleah!) with Tim, the Iowa game with Oops Pow Surprise of Black Heart Gold Pants and Buster Sports, and the Big Ten with Jamiemac of Just Cover. At some point, Tate Forcier gets compared to Hulk Hogan. Convincingly. Ultimate Hawkeye, we are coming for you. Warning: there is a small amount of swearing on this podcast, which comes from me but is necessary to describe Iowa safety Tyler Sash.
BONUS: in a stunning display of incestuous behavior, I was the guest on this week's BHGP podcast.
The Downgrade
Michigan's chances for a decent-to-good season increased radically over the weekend primarily because they came out and dominated a decent MAC opponent and proved that they're way less incoherent than they were last year. But the performances of future Michigan opponents also helped out considerably. Notre Dame did better than most expected, but the rest of the schedule:
Ohio State faced a potentially tying two-point conversion attempt with two minutes left against Navy, causing We Will Always Have Tempe to drag out the late-era Lloyd Carr comparisons:
I'm not saying Jim Tressel is Lloyd Carr, but... what separates Lloyd Carr in say, 2002 or 2003, from Jim Tressel right now? This is a line of thought I've been seriously following for the better part of a year now. I'd like some input from Michigan fans on this.
Here's my input: that's way hasty. Hasty or not, Ohio State scraping by Navy (they out gained the Middies by just 21 yards) makes The Game seem like way less of a longshot.
Iowa. DocSat on the bizarre Hawkeye opener:
• I-AA Northern Iowa slightly outgained Iowa overall and matched the Hawkeyes at 5.1 yards per play in a 17-16 loss that featured the weirdest ending of the day. Iowa finished with 87 yards rushing, 100 yards below its 2008 average on the ground; starting running back Paki O'Meara finished with 16 yards on nine carries (1.8 per) on a long gain of five yards.
UNI had two field goals blocked in the last minute, by the way, after recovering the first one. (Which I thought was an automatic turnover, BTW. Is it not? UPDATE: a helpful reader points out the relevant rule:
If a blocked field goal is in or behind the neutral zone, it is treated like a fumble and can be advanced by either team. Beyond the neutral zone, a blocked kick is treated like a punt or missed field goal and can be advanced only by the defense, unless a defensive player fumbles the ball, after which an offensive player can advance it.
Illinois was totally humiliated by a Missouri team debuting a freshman quarterback. Missouri outgained Illinois by over 100 yards and Juice Williams got yanked. Illinois did lose Benn and the starting tailback to injuries in the second half. None of that explains 37-9.
Three of Michigan's four expected wins did nothing to disprove those expectations. Indiana barely scraped by I-AA Eastern Kentucky 19-13. Eastern lost to Army by 13 and Delaware State lost to some random I-AA team.
The Non-Disastrous
Purdue, Michigan State, and Penn State all handled business against overmatched opponents. Wisconsin let Northern Illinois back in their game and, after failing to recover a NIU onside kick, let the Huskies down to their 36 before closing the door on 4th and 3. The Badgers did outgain NIU handily, so I'm not sure how much of a concern that is for UW.
Those teams saw their stock remain approximately constant—Purdue may have seen it increase. Three of the toughest games on Michigan's schedule now seem considerably more attainable. I'll take that and the Notre Dame box score any day.
Unverified Voracity Addresses The Rest Of The Universe
Witty: not dead yet. Freshman cornerback Adrian Witty, the last incoming recruit held up by the Clearinghouse, retook the SAT in search of a point. In the process he may have revealed why he needs another point on the SAT:
"I think I did good on it," Witty said.
Witty's missed the entirety of fall camp; if he gets in he's all but guaranteed to redshirt. If he doesn't, I believe he can prep for a semester and come in January since he's so close. The NCAA cracked down on the prep school route a couple years ago but left the window open for guys who need one or two grades, IIRC.
Paki-bomb loaded and ready to run for two yards. Did I tell you about Angry Iowa Running Back-Hating God or did I tell you?
The big injury is Jewel Hampton's right knee, which has kept him off the practice field for most of camp. Ferentz told me it's unrealistic to expect Hampton to play Sept. 5 in the season opener against Northern Iowa. The coach also didn't rule out Hampton's injury affecting his availability this season.
Hampton is "80 percent likely" to take a redshirt year according to Iowa Scout.com guy Jon Miller. Redshirt freshman Jeff Brinson, the nominal #2, missed most of camp with an ankle issue, leaving walk-on and broad comic stereotype mashup Paki O'Meara atop the depth chart.
Black Heart Gold Pants, naturally, is all over this.
Historian. This time it's a recap of Michigan's first 38-0 win over Notre Dame in two parts:
Part II is lightboxed for your perusal.
This is a different thing now. All right, Michigan's strength and conditioning program this offseason has been sweet!
"I think so," Rodriguez tells Bret Bakita and Michael Grey, of The Starting Lineup, on WBBL-FM, "just judging on the way they look and how strong they feel.
"I think that's natural, particularly when you've got younger players; they're going to make a big gain in strength and conditioning from their first year to their second year. But even overall, the whole team has really bought in to what Mike and his staff are teaching down there in the weight room.
"Hopefully it'll show up on the field. Certainly, they look like they're moving around quicker, and I think their strength is certainly up from what it was a year ago."
Did I say something?
Hang the DJ. I am so down with using Morrissey as a half-serious, half-mocking approach to Michigan fandom, and sports fandom in general. There's a tag on this blog that I've used way more than I ever wanted to named "i know it's over and oh it never really began but in my heart it was so real." And next week one of your very special season preview posts is Morrissey based. (50 MGoPoints to the first person to guess which song is referenced.)
So, yeah:
I've seen it happen/in other people's lives/ now it's happening in mine. Morrissey and contemporary Michigan continue to be made for each other, and not in the good kind of way. The joke won't be funny once you get to the Notre Dame game, especially if Nick Sheridan as starter has to face a TAH-NOO-TAH defense unafraid to send blitzers from the corner, safety, and occasionally just running in crowds off the bench.
Son of a bitch I should have thought of that lyric last year. You haven't heard the last of this, Swindle! (You probably have.)
Schwing? Michigan's deadly 2010 hockey recruiting class looks set to get even deadlier with the news that Ontario forward Lucas Lessio has left Niagara's camp, presumably because he intends to commit to Michigan. Lessio was the #7 pick in the OHL draft and a source told the Wolverine's Michael Spath that Lessio would be the "best player to come to Michigan out of Ontario in the last decade," which would make him a more highly touted prospect than Mike Cammalleri, Brandon Burlon, Louie Caporusso, and Andrew Cogliano. Two of those guys are scoring-line NHL players and two are current or upcoming stars at Michigan. That is high praise.
As always, do not count your chickens before they show up on campus… but, yeah, Lessio has signed with St. Mikes and Yost Built diagnoses the positivity coming from Niagara's GM as Iraqi Minister of Information stuff. He actually played on Friday, picking up two goals and an assist in a 5-4 loss. It sounds like he's made his decision for justice.
Here's a Hockey News scouting report on Lessio. Summary: he good.
Etc.: Whoah. FO's ESPN insider content($) on the Big Ten predicts Michigan at 8-4… and Illinois at 4-8! Stanford decommit picks Northwestern over ND because he thinks "Northwestern has a better football program than Notre Dame." Two-part Rittenberg interview with Rodriguez: part one and part two. Dylan takes on expectations for the basketball team; personally I'll be happy with a season that ends in the second round of the NCAA tournament as long as the bid isn't in question on the last day of the regular season.
Unverified Voracity Marvels At Technology
Holy pants. YouTube HD, people!
Sweet. Someone lock Wolverine Historian in a room with a computer and a stack of videos. (This may be redundant, yes.)
Pah. The New York Times' bottom-to-top rundown of I-A football has reached Michigan at an uninspiring #57. The meandering glory of the thing has 100 words in German, mentions Elroy Hirsch, cites Varsity Blue, and desperately needs more paragraph breaks. It > CFN.
But the thing that sticks out to your correspondent:
Who is No. 56?: The name of its first president graces our next university's football stadium and library. There is no memorial to Jimmy Bob, his ever-present parrot.
A commenter solves the riddle:
#56 is Western Michigan, home of Waldo Stadium and Waldo Library.
Awwww, come on. There is no way that's not a hook for the WMU preview.
Up-and-coming. This doesn't come as a surprise to me since the Doc pinged me to ask whether Boubacar Cissoko was a reasonable pick for the team—I replied "if you don't have anyone truly inspiring," to which he said "I do not"—but Michigan features twice on Dr. Saturday's up-and-coming defense. You'll be able to guess the other member without reading the post, but what the hell:
Defensive Tackle: Mike Martin • Michigan
Aside from punting, run defense was the only halfway respectable aspect of the entire Wolverine operation last year, and the best aspect of the run defense may have been that Martin held his own as a regular part of the rotation as a true freshman -- with both starters graduating, the middle of the line remains one of the team's many red sirens. Most importantly, Martin earned the MGoBlog seal of approval, which is no small feat.
Hey, now: the rushing offense was (very, very slightly) above-average. That linked caused me to return to the Wisconsin UFR, in which Martin thwarted Wisconsin's second attempt at a game-tying two-point conversion by escaping a double team and crushing the QB as he released the ball; he is kind of a great interior pass rusher already. I just hope he can hold up against the consistent pounding of the ground game.
The Doc's offensive team is hyah; call me skeptical about the inclusion of a no-block tight end from Ohio State on the list. Ohio State tight ends have to block because they do little else except get death threats. One dollar says that Kevin Koger has more catches than Jake Stoneburner at the end of the year. (Stoneburner, naturally, will blind more messiahs.)
Find Pierce Brosnan. Jewel Hampton is the tailback on that DocSat up-and-coming offense, but his knee may have up and left:
Multiple Web sites are reporting that Iowa football running back Jewel Hampton sustained a knee injury during non-contact drills Friday. If confirmed, that would put a damper on the 4th of July weekend for Hawkeye fans.
BHGP links to stuff that suggests the injury is a torn ACL, which would knock Hampton out for the year. Yea, if there is any Angry BLANK Hating God as wroth as Angry Michigan Safety-Hating God, it's Angry Iowa Tailback-Hating God.
However, the second-wave word on the thing is much friendlier to Iowa and Hampton:
"I'm OK," he said.
When the 5-foot-9, 210-pound sophomore-to-be from Indianapolis was asked whether he would play in the fall, Hampton said with a grin, "Don't know yet."
Dude NFW. You know what? I really don't want to get into this again. But I find it amazing that this happens to be true:
Almost there! With two graduated, third-team seniors predictably (and acceptably) having left the team over the past week, Bama Sports Report reports that the Tide only has ... 10 more scholarships to free up over the rest of the summer! That's not too bad! Here, here's a handy alphabetical run-down of how many scholarships each SEC team still has to clear off the existing roster to bring in their full signing class in fall camp:
Alabama: 10
Auburn: 0
Florida: 0
Georgia: 0
Kentucky: 0
Mississippi: 0
Mississippi St.: 0
South Carolina: 0
Tennessee: 0
Vanderbilt: 0
Say what you want about the man, Saban stands by his principles, such as they are.
Etc.: You will be SHOCKED at the #1 players on Ace's list of the top 15 players on both sides of the ball from the past 15 years.
That went just the way I wanted it to: without suspense. I have delved deep into these things the past couple weeks and I can tell you Michigan is in. There will be a selection show worth watching on Sunday.
It's been a long time in the desert. I remember this Thursday a few years ago, when Michigan had to beat Minnesota in the Big Ten tournament to get in, probably, after blowing it in the regular season. Then the sort of person who can't watch 2:30 PM basketball game, I listened to it on the radio. Things were going okay until a seemingly infinite series of consecutive turnovers and the resultant fast-break buckets, and I remember sitting in my chair, disgusted, thinking that Michigan would never atone for Traylor and Taylor and Bullock and all those grim-faced mercenaries that worked their way through the program without loyalty or joy.
The day of atonement is at hand. I added a tag.

Not so long ago, to visit the Erez checkpoint on Gaza's "border" crossing with Israel was to witness a modem slave market. Tens of thousands of Palestinian workers would wake up at 3 am and gather at Erez for the privilege of working in their occupier's economy, predominantly in construction and agriculture, undertaking the "dirty work" that Jewish workers would not do, for a wage on average a third less than their Jewish peers. At least 30 percent of Gaza's GNP derived from wages earned in Israel.

On February 25, 1996, following several Hamas suicide bombings in West Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel imposed a heightened closure on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. [1] This most recent heightening of the closure has severely damaged the already precarious economy of the Gaza Strip and caused immense hardship and suffering to the local population. The overwhelming majority in the Gaza Strip have been left with no source of daily income. Many can no longer adequately feed their children. The struggle -- no longer against Israel or even the Israeli occupation -- is now against hunger and humiliation.
On August 13, the Jordanian government lifted its subsidies on wheat. When bread prices immediately doubled, residents of the southern town of Karak demonstrated against the move, calling for a reversal of the policy and the resignation of the prime minister. The protests deteriorated into riots that lasted two days and ended only when the army occupied the town and enforced a strict curfew.
The preamble of the Protocol on Economic Relations between the Government of the State of Israel and the PLO, signed on May 4, 1994, states:
This protocol lays the groundwork for strengthening the economic base of the Palestinian side and for exercising its right of economic decision making in accordance with its own development plan and for exercising its right of economic decision making in accordance with its own development plan and priorities." [1]
Throughout the late 1980s, Syria's economy suffered persistent difficulties. Shortages of imported machinery and spare parts led to underproduction and quality control breakdowns in the country's larger factories. External indebtedness rose to some $4.9 billion by 1988; payments on foreign loans fell more than $100 million into arrears by early 1989 and about $210 million behind by the winter of 1989-1990. Foreign exchange became so scarce in the spring of 1989 that the central administration started rationing its meager stockpile of hard currency, giving priority to those enterprises most likely to generate export earnings, particularly the assembly of light manufactured goods and agricultural commodities.
Economic liberalization is now hitting the Egyptian countryside. After decades of Nasserist regulations favoring small land tenants, a new law will "reform" the relationship between landowners and tenants in favor of the first. It will more fully integrate the Egyptian countryside into the global market because it gives owners the right to dispose of their land as they see fit. These rights constitute a precondition for modernizing production methods in the countryside and planting more risky export crops. With agrobusinessmen able to invest and extract more income from the land, economists hope that Egypt will be able to decrease its annual agricultural deficit of $2.7 billion.
Over the last 50 years, a massive infusion of petrodollars enabled the new monarchies of the Gulf to engage in impressive experiments in counterrevolution. During the 1970s, King Faysal of Saudi Arabia attempted to preserve the traditional social hierarchy of his country by modernizing without industrializing. A decade earlier, the Shah of Iran staged a preemptive strike against demands for change by launching his own "white revolution." Yet the most successful counterrevolution in the Gulf was the massive and successful program of the Sabah dynasty in Kuwait to preserve its power by building the region's first modern welfare state.
Half a century ago Israel was a poor new state hopelessly indebted to the outside world. Fifteen years later, it could be described as a rapidly growing developing country undergoing successful industrialization. By the early 1980s, it was an extreme case of an economically overburdened state incapable of stemming stagnation and spiraling inflation. But as the century comes to a close, the guardians of the "Washington consensus" laud Israel as a model of economic liberalization and successful adaptation to globalization and technological change.
Neoliberalism is a triumph of the political imagination. Its achievement is double: While narrowing the window of political debate, it promises from this window a prospect without limits. On the one hand, it frames public discussion in the elliptic language of neoclassical economics. The collective well-being of the nation is depicted only in terms of how it is adjusted in gross to the discipline of monetary and fiscal balance sheets. On the other, neglecting the actual concerns of any concrete local or collective community, neoliberalism encourages the most exuberant dreams of private accumulation -- and a chaotic reallocation of collective resources.

How did Yugioh get to be as popular as it was....or, still is?
I mean...both Pokemon and Magic utterly dwarf Yugioh in terms of card mechanics and tactics. Not to mention originality... The character designs are beyond horrendous - my five year old nephew once caught an ad on TV, and even told me himself it's ugly. Five-years old. And the story is...ueh...um... I've got nothing to say on the matter?
And as far as kids' anime goes, I mean....there's Digimon, right? Which is like a thousand times better as I remember when I used to watch it.
How did a show as irredeemable as Yugioh get to be such a huge hit? I know it can't be all in the marketing... Cause I've seen crap whored a lot more, and more so effectively, without a single product selling. What gives.

I dunno, I found it enjoyable as a young teenager. The card game wasn't really the most complex thing around, but it was easy to grasp and fairly fun.
So, not really sure what it was, but I liked it.

If I had known that there were "up-the-butt" cards, I might have looked into it more.
uh, don't read anything into what I just wrote.....
.....oh, nevermind.
-- in any case, I always thought Yugi was sorta "goth" for a children's cartoon character. The S&M choker always made me wonder....

|The comparative lack of complexity may partly explain the popularity. (There is some complexity as far as single card interactions go but this is more due to Konami and their occasional inability to be logical...) YGO has always been more about fun and fast games at least by comparison to say Magic. Also I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the money comes from kids ( or rather their parents), which is why the YGO and Pokemon TCGs have outsold Magic. I imagine many of the older players nowadays are ones who grew up from being these kids/ teens (myself for example). I imagine there are also some people attracted to the art on some particular cards ( I certainly heard about people being interested in the otherwise fairly bad Charmer cards for being somewhat moe...)

Magic can be fun, but the simplicity of Yugioh allows players to have more fun and not worry about "tapping" and all those other small details when playing a card game.
The only real limitation when playing Yugioh is the amount of stars on the cards that determine the summoning level (at least in my opinion).
As to the Yugioh anime. It can be corny sometimes with speeches about friendship and the cards that seem to be so coincidental to the situation that nobody would actually have them, but I like seeing some shonen anime that have more strategy than brute force.

The main Yu-Gi-Oh! storyline becomes oddly compelling as one progresses through the series, owed in part to its strategic leanings--but also because it makes a fervent appeal to that desire to collect and battle and trade. The character designs are charming, too, in a lot of ways--and much of the artwork in general is quite impressive, being laden with screentones, and so forth. Exaggeration is often the order of the day, and it even allows the series to summon loose--yet positive--recollections of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. It's a visual feast that never becomes so messy that it's difficult to follow: it suggests complexity--and often does some impressive manoeuvrings as players become familiar with cards--but rather adeptly puts this facade up behind an easy-to-follow interface.
Pair all this with characters that are developed to extents not dissimilar to more popular Shounen Jump properties and it becomes less difficult to recognise why it ranked so highly during its run in Shounen Jump. It was eclectic...but that was part of the draw.
Chiefly, though, I think the card-game became successful for its interactive value. Like Beyblades, players come together and trade, collect, battle and generally engage with each-other on the common topic. It develops small communities--and there really is a lot of enthusiasm that can be developed from engaging in these societies. Interaction pushes the experience that step further.

Hey, my review made the cut. Awesome.
Anyway, I just can't stand to keep hearing how mediocre everything Natsuki Takaya has done outside of Fruits Basket has been. I'm not saying that because I disagree with the assessment, but it's just surprising and disappointing that she has simply not been able to write something with as much staying power as that one series had. Nobody wants to be a one-hit wonder, riding the coattails of the popularity they attained years ago.

I understand. I wonder that myself, and I actually used to like Yugioh. Also, I did like the character of Yugi, and Bakura was cool, so in some ways it was certain characters that attracted me to the series. There were some parts that seemed to go on forever, and the card games got hard to sit through, and yeah some characters were annoying.
About that last part, I still wonder how Yugioh got to be a hit, I was surprised at it's succes, but like you said, it seems like the crappy stuff get attention. Look at Twilight . Not that all of Yugioh was crappy. Heck, it's better than Beyblade, another game-based anime. They didn't have characters like Bakura, and no brooding characters like Yugi.

This does beg the question though. Was there ever such a card as that? I stopped playing the game years ago, but that sounds interesting.
Anyway, Yu-Gi-oh was okay at some point, but like Poke'mon and Digimon, eventually became rather repetitive and some what lackluster. Then again, 4kids didn't help this series at all, but the manga seemed to be better at some point.
Some series should have ended years ago and should been given a great ending like Poke'mon, Yugi and Digimon. Yu-gi-oh isn't a terrible series, its just become repetitive.

Yu-Gi-Oh! got popular because of story and characters, just like every other Shonen Jump manga. The reason so many people hate it is because they're missing the point. It's not all about the card games. Yu-Gi-Oh! wasn't originally even a card game manga; it's the Shonen successor to legendary gambling manga from gekiga. I don't like card games in the slightest and I still enjoy this series. I agree that it does draw influences reminiscent of Jojo's Bizarre Advanture. But hey, if even that show's to weird for you, then what can I say...
Yeah, some character designs are ridiculous, but that's not uncommon in gambling manga (see Kaiji) or Shonen Jump (see One Piece). And as for the story, well, thanks to everything that was lost in the translation from a great manga to a so-so anime (not to mention in the infamously horrible Americanization most people are familiar with) I can count the number of people I know who really have a good feel for what the "story" of Yu-Gi-Oh! is on about 2 fingers. I suggest you check out some chapters of the manga and THEN come back and talk to me about a "lack of story."

I think part of the big draw of the YuGiOh card game that let it stand apart from the other lame tie-in games is the lack of resource management that the other big card games have. In Magic you have mana, in Pokemon you have Energy, etc. Yugioh, you've got monsters. Very simple to build a playable deck - you can almost build a deck with 40 random cards, which appeals to kiddies. But to make a cool/good deck can be very complicated, because of all the completely nonsensical good cards and crazy mechanics that are super-specific with very limited use. The show/manga is ridiculous with the card combinations that come out of the character's rear end...and the card game has come to reflect that. So the hardcore tournament types can get into this too, and the kiddies who don't really know what they're doing can have fun and keep buying cards instead of being bored after the first month or so playing.
As far as the manga itself, I think it really went downhill once they introduced the card game. It was at first pretty dang cool; as in HOLY S--- DID YUGI JUST MAKE THAT GUY LIGHT HIMSELF ON FIRE AND THEN WALK AWAY LIKE IT WAS NOTHING?! Then it was about dragons and Egypt and junk.

None of the manga interested me this week. And that one by Hakusensha, as if we need anymore manga like that. It sounds like the mangaka ripped of Black Butler and Ouran High School Host Club.
I'm surprised that there is another YuGiOh. I thought there was just the three series. I used to really like YuGiOh, but like Teriyaki Terrier said, it was too long and got repetitive. The story was interesting though, it was about more than just the card games. Still, I don't know if I could sit through it again.
I know this had been said a lot already, but I have to agree with what Carlo said a few weeks ago about how just because Fruits Basket was great, that doesn't mean all of Natsuki Takaya's back catalogue manga should be licensed too. I mean, I know no one wants to be a one hit wonder, but it's gonna happen, and sadly for Takaya, I think she is a one hit wonder manga artist. Fruits Basket was good, but her other manga, including Songs to Make You Smile, aren't as good.

So say I have a class:
class C a where
reduce :: a -> Int
Now I want to pack it up in a data type:
data Signal = forall a. (C a) => Signal [(Double, a)]
Thanks to the existential quantification, I can call C methods on Signals, but Signals don't expose a type parameter:
reduceSig :: Signal -> [(Double, Int)]
reduceSig (Signal sig) = map (second reduce) sig
Now since C has a number of methods my natural next step is to pull out the 'reduce' function so I can substitute any method:
mapsig :: (C a) => (a -> a) -> Signal -> Signal
mapsig f (Signal sig) = Signal (map (second f) sig)
Type error! Could not deduce (a1 ~ a). On further thought, I think what it's saying is that 'f' is a function on some instance of C, but I can't guarantee it's the same instance of C as in the Signals, because the type parameters are concealed! I wanted it, I got it.
So does this mean it's impossible to generalize reduceSig? I can live with this, but I'm so used to freely factoring out functions in haskell it feels strange to be obliged to write the boilerplate. On the other hand, I can't think of any way to express that a type is equal to the type inside of Signal, short of giving Signal a type parameter.

My Science 411!
PPL Offers Power Outage, Portable Generator Safety Tips to RegionOctober 28, 2012
As Superstorm Sandy speeds the greater Lehigh Valley region, PPL Electric Utilities, Allentown, Pa., is providing free safety tips for using a backup electricity generator properly and dealing safely with a power outage.
The region's largest utility company says that only a small percentage of home generators are hooked up correctly. The company says that improper installation or use could be dangerous to you and threaten the lives of residents, neighbors, and electric utility workers.
PPL is warning all residents of eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey to be prepared for protracted power outages caused by what has become known as Frankenstorm because of its occurrence around the observance of Halloween.
Tips for using portable electric generators from PPL include reading and following all manufacturer operating instructions, maintaining adequate ventilation, placing it in a dry outdoor location, and never plugging it into a wall outlet or connecting it directly to a house's wiring.
Power outage safety tips for people who do not have backup generators include not using gas ovens or ranges to heat a house; turning off electric ovens, ranges or space heaters that may have been in use when the outage occurred; and unplugging sensitive home electronics that can suffer damage when power is restored.

Problems with water softener
I bought my house in November 2009 and it has a midway 5600 water softener that was installed July 2000. I was an idiot and didn't maintain the softener at all. Last month I added salt to the brine tank and the water was yellow-brown for a couple days and then went back to normal. I got a test kit and have tested my water and it's basically not softened at all.
Just recently the water has turned yellow-brown again and I'd like to get this fixed once and for all.
I cleaned the brine tank out before I put salt in it and I haven't really noticed the salt level of the brine tank going down. I'd really appreciate any tips or advice on how to get this working again.
Assuming the valve is working correctly. It sounds like it is not drawing in brine. If the system was still in service for a long period of time with no salt it is most likely saturated with hardness and iron. Cloudy water with iron after regeneration is typical of oxidized iron that has settled in bottom of tank. Regeneration/backwashing stirs this sediment up and it comes in to the home. Clean the eductor assembly out on right side of valve. You can find a service manual for the Fleck 5600 on line. Make sure all the air is out of brine assembly and float. Put unit in refill position and hold the float stem down (in salt tank) until all air is purged. Get Red Out powder additive, at local hardware, dilute mixture in water and add to salt tank. Run the system every day for 1 week. This may clean the resin and restore capacity. If not you may consider rebedding the softener.

As for anything else you are so called candid and honest about, if you could stick to genuine facts with your bashing, you might not look the conflicted fool so often.
You really don't have a clue how sales are progressing. Bashing with those fuzzy first few weeklies doesn't stop you from daily chicken little proclamations. I'll stay tuned for a month or few, thanks.
And thats just the surface - You recent whine about 'better a $14 secondary than a loan" ... well my little Economics Nobel Ollie Hardy Stan Laureate, step back from your gin bottle and ponder this; why would the quarterly-focussed hedge money that was piled on 20% here treat a follow-on any different than a GIA announcement ? They both would have meant the exact same thing ! So if the big fast money treated the stock the same way GIA did, and the secondary had a hard time, perhaps breaking down, that $100mm walking about money could have wound up costing more than a couple $100mm, after all the future re-sales (and typical warrants) were on the market. While $150mm is a steep cut, it is a known quantity. And if things play out well, a confidently timed secondary could settle that debt with room to spare. If things DON'T work out, then I guess it doesn't really matter anyway.
For all your claims of educated insight, you sure seem blind to any dimension of the argument but the bash.

Hi there, my name is Francisca. A few years ago I made the boldest decision of my life and bought a cute doll-house (more like doll-apartment) that I love. It's my house and it reflects a lot of myself.
I'm currently house-siting for my parents who are living abroad so I though to share a (large) bit of myself with those who want to visit this beautiful city. I love hosting and meeting new people. I hope to meet you.

Daniel Siegel coined the term 'mindsight' to describe the innovative integration of brain science with the practice of psychotherapy. Using interactive examples and case histories from his clinical practice, Dr Siegel shows how mindsight can be applied to alleviate a range of psychological and interpersonal problems. With warmth and humour, he shows us how to observe the working of our minds, allowing us to understand why we think, feel, and act the way we do, and how, by following the proper steps, we can literally change the wiring and architecture of our brains.

Mikayla Beckenhauer Model
Monu TalePhotographer Male Omaha, Nebraska, US
Mayhem # 2743052
About MeI have been doing photography for about five years. I have had the time and encounters to figure out the things I like or don't like, the things that work or don't work. Most importantly, the past years have allowed me to eventually own a photography vision/style that I am very comfortable with. Although I have evolved to shooting a variety of things over the years, my favorite subject is still people, my second favorite is the environment in which I place them...those two are very dependable on each other.
I believe we all have a beautiful side, or as I like to say "the side unseen by the naked eye". In joining Models Mayhem, I am hoping to work with the talent and creativity that almost all of you have. The world is full of ridiculously amazing photographers, I am just trying to materialize my visions to the best of my abilities.
*I mostly work in Omaha NE & Miami FL*
Until we meet, be well!

Nice looking golf shirt This golf shirt is very nice looking. Fits very well. Bought 2 of them. The material is polyester. The material is a little on the thin side though and had a very minor pull on the material. My big complaint is that the color (dark blue) fades from exposure to sun after wearing only about 2-3 times. The fading is very obvious as it has a color fade appearance. I do like the shirt though. Probably would only buy lighter colors in future. September 6, 2014
Perfect golf shirt! I have at least 30 golf shirts and this one is my favorite. It is very cool, fits perfectly and looks great. June 17, 2014
Stick to cotton I find that the Korean models are better tailored with more comfortable fabric than the Chinese models. June 9, 2014
Great I purchased 2 of these shirts and love them both. Very comfortable and got them for under $20.00. Wish I could have gotten one in Marine but it was sold out. April 2, 2014

Nebraska lawmakers are considering legislation that would bar anyone younger than 18 from indoor tanning at a spa or salon. People younger than 35 who tan are at a 75% increased risk for melanoma, the CDC says. Indoor tanning salons often do not inform customers of tanning's risks, and parents cannot make informed decisions when they are not given adequate information, dermatologist Tricia Hultgren said.

Here is the vid of our Halloween Night Fly '05 with you and Mike flyn your stik's
|Jun 10, 2006, 07:48 AM
This is my practice thread for the up coming 4Q thread. I hope I'm doing OK so far.
I need to take some quick vid of these things really flying hard, None of the vids I have so far really show there stuff. But hopefully the Pursuit video that comes at the end of this build will show off the capability's.
|Jun 10, 2006, 07:15 PM
Nice build! I've never built even a lazer cut kit(but plane on it soon) or anything other than an arf but stuff like this makes me want to try it. Just wondering what you used to paint with. Nice thick color. I have an SX-3 that Im thinking about getting flying and I need to paint it up. Another thread recommended sharpies.
|Jun 10, 2006, 10:14 PM
On my normal Foamies I use Testors spray Enamel. But on the Glo Stick Series, I have been using transparent monocoat, and spray adhesive.
On the Night Stik , I want the decals to be black , but let Light show through, so I have some window tint that i will use for the decals.
You can also print a design on Avery full sheet clear labels. Spray a coat of clear over the decal to protect it from water, then apply.
I well give a example later in the build.
I have gotten real far in the Build so far, and well be posting soon. Just need to process the pics.

Finishing The wing.
Since the wing wiring is finished and the wing is what we are working on , we can go ahead and finish it up. That way, when we get to the fuselage lighting and finishing , the wing will be ready.
Make sure which side is up on your wing. The wing pin hole will be on the top of the leading edge tube. If you glues the bottom wing panels on first, then you will need to punch a hole in the bottom panel to run the wires through into the Fuselage, and don't put the wire notch in the center rib.
More construction Photos,
|Jun 11, 2006, 11:53 AM
Fitting the wing
Process of fitting the wing to the Fuselage.
|Jun 11, 2006, 12:09 PM
Wing tips.
Wing tips can very greatly. Easiest thing to do is leave them flat , or cap it with a over sized rib. But then the tip lights don't show as well.
Punch a hole for the light to reflect around, this makes the light appear brighter from all directions, then a notch for the LED, and a slot for the wire.
|Jun 11, 2006, 12:36 PM
Fuselage lighting
Back to the fuselage.
The basic fuselage can be sanded now to get rid of the access material on the bottom and the front motor mount. Just don't round the top edges of the fuselage, as the top cover well be the last to glue on and sand.
The fuselage lighting is pretty simple. I added 2 LED's to the tail on this one to make it extra bright.
Also installed some flashing white LED's in front for Pursuit mode. They are 3 to 10 volts so they don't need a resistor.
I added what I call a Breathing Bulb that changes colors automatically. But when I tested it on this one , it just didn't look right so I later removed it.
I still need to make drawing for the wiring digram for the fuselage, for this section of the post, and will edit it in later.
|Jun 11, 2006, 01:56 PM
Time to get some Tail.
Tail can be kind of tricky, so build carefully.
As mentioned before, A standard style vertical and hinged rudder system can be made with flat 3mm , then punch holes and mount the LED's like on the wing tips. Works OK but is not as impressive.
|Jun 11, 2006, 02:29 PM
Horizontal stabilizer construction
Pretty basic tail construction.
The leading edge reinforcement is necessary, but can be made out of 1/64 plywood strips if you don't have carbon flat rod in hand.
It can also be applied to the back edge of the horizontal if you want to round off the leading edge. But you will have to be careful of limiting your elevator travel and the leading edge will not be as ding prof.
If you don't want to use tape hinges , then your on your own, they work fine for me
|Jun 11, 2006, 03:22 PM
Tail Installation
Follow along.
|Jun 11, 2006, 04:22 PM
Push rods and Control horns
I make my own control horns for no apparent reason other than I know I will always have some and can make them to suit my needs.
Regular style push rods work fine, just keep them straight. Remember, this plane will go pretty fast and we don't want control surface flutter.
To remove any slop in my push rods on the control horns, I just wick a little medium CA in the linkage and plywood, accelerate it , then break it lose before it's to dry. It may stick again later but it will just pop free and still be slop free.
Do not glue in the servo tray at this point.
I will add in a dimensional drawing of the control horn template and edit it in later.
|Jun 11, 2006, 04:59 PM
Mounting the Wing
To mount the wing like mine , you will need,
1. 8-32 x 1" nylon bolt. Try a harware store first, if the hobbie shop is to far away, I have found them there.
2. 8-32 blind nut.
3. 2 pieces of 3mm depron cut 2 x 1 1/8.
4. plywood strip to cap one edge of the mount.
|Jun 11, 2006, 05:27 PM
Well , That's were I'm at right now.
Can go ahead and hook up the tail light and turn every thing on.
No peaks on this one till the video
Next step well be the mounting the motor, Caping the Fuse, and then making and installing the landing Gear.
Need to do a little shop cleaning right now
Stay tuned!
|Jun 12, 2006, 08:30 AM
Once again Ernest, this is truely amazing stuff. I have always wanted to just spend some time with you to see how you produce such amazing builds.

'Occupy CPAC' Protester Paid $60 a Day
**Written by Doug Powers
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is underway in Washington, DC. Naturally, OWS protesters are there to greet conference-goers and to roll out a welcome mat made of astroturf.
Michelle Fields from the Daily Caller caught up with a demonstrator who claims he's being paid. Not only does the guy in the video below say that a union local is paying him $60 a day to "Occupy" CPAC, but he also claims everybody in his group is being paid.
Some are clueless as to what it is they're protesting (note: if the video below isn't loading try this link):
Does $60 a day meet or exceed Occupy's "living wage" demand?
