Mandissa Marshall continues to be on a roll competing in the pole vault, and the George Mason University senior continues to get better with each outing.
Marshall (Crestwood) kicked off the indoor track season by winning the team's Father Diamond Invitational in Fairfax, Va. She earned Atlantic-10 co-Performer of the Week with a 13-1 ¼ effort. She followed that up by winning at the Great Dane Invitational at the Armory in New York City with a meet-record height of 13-6 ¼. She was named Field MVP.
Last Saturday, she was the top Division I competitor (the winner was a club athlete) at the Virginia Tech Hokie Invitational in Blacksburg with a season-best effort of 13-9 ½. It's also a school record, bettering her old indoor mark of 13-8 ¾ set last season. She holds the outdoor mark with a 14-1 effort.
"Mandissa is off to a great start," said assistant coach Kevin McGorty, who works with the pole vaulters. "Technically, we are still working out a couple of things with her takeoff but I have been really happy with her progress."
Marshall captured the ECAC indoor title last season and has qualified for the event three straight years. McGorty is looking past that.
"Hopefully with a few more solid weeks of practice, Mandissa should be one of the top 16 vaulters in the nation and make it to the NCAAs," he said.
BACK-TO-BACK FOR BAKER – Marist junior Jacob Baker of Shavertown (Wyoming Seminary) captured the 1-meter dive (284.18) in a 159-141 victory over Boston College and came back last Saturday to capture the 1-meter (296.63) in a 118-117 victory over Seton Hall. They were the first victories of his college career.
"Jacob's victories capped off a very strenuous intercession training trip in Puerto Rico so they were very well deserved," diving coach Melanie Bolstad said. "His victory against Boston College was very critical to the team's victory."
Now Baker has his eyes set on earning a berth in the NCAA Zone Qualifier (March 10-12 in Blacksburg, Va.).
"Jacob is just 2-plus points away from qualifying, so he is just one dive away," Bolstad said.
The Red Foxes close the regular season at Binghamton on Saturday, but Baker will also get a chance to reach the plateau in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships (Feb. 13-15 in Buffalo, N.Y.) and the ECAC Championships (Feb. 28-March 2 in Annapolis, Md.).
JIMCOSKY A DOUBLE WINNER – Dickinson freshman Amanda Jimcosky (Northwest) captured both the high jump and the long jump at last Saturday's Ursinus Collegeville Classic. She cleared 4-9 ¾ in the high jump and 16-1/4 in the long jump. She has been in the top five in just about every event she's competed in this winter.
"Amanda has been a rock for the women's team," jumps coach Chris Johnson said. "She always brings a great attitude to practice, is incredibly coachable and has demonstrated consistency in her performances as well as eagerness to improve."
Jimcosky's winning effort in the long jump at Ursinus ranked fifth in the Centennial Conference. She has the top effort thus far in the high jump (5-1 ¾).
"The school record for indoor high jump is 5-3 so hopefully that is a goal she can reach soon," Johnson said. "As she continues to build upon what she has already accomplished, I have no doubt that she will pursue each new obstacle with tremendous tenacity."
WAGNER AMONG LEADERS – Freshman Marcus Wagner is one of the top swimmers, not only on the Ursinus men's team, but in the Centennial Conference as well.
Wagner (Dallas) ranks second in the 1,000 freestyle (10:06.11), and fourth in the 500 freestyle (4:47.63) and the 1,650 freestyle (16:50.98) on the league's performance list.
Not only is Wagner hitting those marks, he's piling up victories for the Bears. Last weekend, in a 107-98 victory over Franklin & Marshall, he won the 500 and 1,650. In a 109-90 triumph over York, he won the 500 and 1,000. And in an easy 125-60 victory over Cabrini, he swam just one race, the 200 freestyle and won with a time of 1:49.53.
"Marcus continues to be one of our team's hardest workers in an out of the pool," coach Mark Feinberg said. "He leads our fastest lane and our distance group, attacks our weight lifting and agility training and has one of the top GPAs on the team.
The Centennial Championship is set for Feb. 21-23 in Lancaster.
"Marcus will be a favorite to land in finals (top eight) in all three of his individual events and play a major role in at least two relays," Feindberg said.
EYER'S CONSISTENT – Senior Zach Eyer (Berwick) has been a solid middle-distance runner during his career with the Bloomsburg men's track team. At the recent Class of 1932 Invitational at Colgate, he finished fourth in the 500 (1:09.59) and ran the leadoff leg on the 1,600 relay, which finished third (3:36.17). Last Saturday, at Bucknell's Gulden Invitational, he just missed earning a berth in the PSAC Championships by posting a 2:01.77 in the 800-meter run.
"Zach has been consistent during his time at Bloomsburg," coach Bernie Empie said. "Each year he has improved and continues to be the anchor of the middle distance group."
The coach is hoping that Eyer can get a PSAC time.
"Zach worked hard during the fall and has looked good starting with our first meet back from the Holiday break," Empie said.
The Huskies return to Lewisburg for the Bison Open on Saturday.
KUMAR HOME ON THE RANGE – Sophomore Swetha Kumar (Berwick) is a member of the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia women's rifle team.
"Swetha came to us last year with limited experience," coach Peter Dalidowicz said. "She practiced religiously and broke into our lineup late in the season and averaged 345 in small bore and 407 in air rifle. This year, she continues to be an inspiring competitor, steadily improving her skill sets."
Kumar's average thus far this season are 439 (small bore) and 453 (air rifle).
"One would never imagine such a pleasant and quiet woman to shoot with such tremendous intensity and tenacity," Dalidowicz said.
Dalidowicz said that Kumar is a dream to coach.
"She's a great listener and absorbs everything I put forth like a sponge," he said. "We will count heavily on Swetha next year to become a major player."
PAISLEY CHIPPING IN – Freshman Ryan Paisley is a key member of the 10-1 Towson men's swim team. Paisley (Hazleton Area) finished fifth in both the 100 free (48.34) and 50 free (21.95), and helped both the 200 medley and 400 free relays finish second in a 177-119 victory over Delaware last Saturday.
In the previous meet, a 183-115 triumph over George Mason, he won the 100 free (47.81), finished fourth in the 50 free (21.95), and helped the 200 medley and 400 free relays finish second.
"Ryan has made significant improvements this year and we are expecting an outstanding end of the season for him," coach Patrick Mead said. "Hopefully, he will score points at our championship (Colonial Athletic Association) and he will play a critical role on a number of our relays."
The CAA Championship is Feb. 26-March 1 in College Park, Md.

When to cut back Rose Bushes
Hello everyone, Im at the new house now. I would like to know when to cut back rose bushes, can I do them now, and how far back or do I wait in the spring to do it. I used to have a few of them years ago...but cant remember when I pruned them. Thanks so much Liz
It isn't recommended to do much pruning now, because it encourages new growth which you don't want in the fall when they're going into dormancy.
However, to keep the long canes from flipping around in the wind, trim them back to a managable height after frost so that they won't sprout. Then in the spring you can cut them back to about 8-10."
I agree with blueheron....but I don't cut mine back so far....I leave them easily 24 inches...
But it depends on what kind of roses you have.....
I grow mostly rugosas, Austin and shrub roses.....tea roses I cut back to 8 to 10 inches.
Linda C
another rose question, when I trim...do I cut back to the heel wood?
I am confused about exactly the best way to trim mine. I brought them back to life when I moved in with Fiance who had been pretty much ignoring them...they were awful and it's a miracle I've been able to get them to recover.
Does anyone have a good link for triming roses?
As Linda said, it depends what kind of roses you have. The old garden roses are usually not pruned back very far. The hybrid teas are pruned down to 8-10" as I mentioned above. For climbers, it is sometimes recommended to cut one or two of the oldest canes back to the ground leaving the younger canes, which are more prolific bloomers.
There are tons of info about pruning roses on the internet, but as a rule of thumb for HT's, cut the rose cane at an angle just above a 5 leaflet leaf.
I live in beauiful san diego, I've been growing roses for the last 5 years, Im not sure when to prune them back, the local growers tell me nov-dec time frame, most internet posting recommend feb-mar and some in jan. please help set a schedule.
thenk you,
Hi i have never been a gardener but my husband died last year and in the garden i planted a rose bush and put he's ashes underneath but it has grow over 10 foot one long stem and many stem coming out on sides could you please advise me what to do i am frightened what if i start cutting it wrong i will kill it i live in London uk many thanks june
I have a couple rose bushes. I leave the shrub roses and those like the Flower carpet roses alone - don't cut at all. But the other roses I cut back almost to the ground every year in late November. They come back just fine each spring. I make sure to mulch well around the base. During the season, I prune back spent flowers to the first 5-leave stem, and they re-flower very nicely. This all seems to work where I am, in the mid-hudson valley, in NY State. Every gardener and landscaper I asked around here has always said you can cut back roses as much as you want, and they rebound. If they are scraggly, definitely cut back dead canes and crossing branches.
June, your climate is very similar to mine - following the lead of my neighbors who grow more roses than I do, I've pruned mine. It's an annual ritual, when I see the gorgeous rose border down the street has been shaped and pruned - I come home and do my own.
Check the link for specific steps and don't be overly worried...It's very hard to damage a healthy rose. Just look for the outward facing buds so your shrub doesn't form growth aiming inwards. A little openess and air circulation towards the center helps a lot toward preventing the foliage diseases.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pruning Roses
Here'a another link that says to prune in spring - I was surprised with this link and the one above, since I was told by many experieneced gardeners to cut back in very late fall - as I stated earlier, though, my roses seem to be doing fine each year!
Here is a link that might be useful: About.com - when to prune roses
Four years ago when my mother passed away, while I was getting her house ready to sell, I discovered a long-forgotten rose bush that my father had 'accidentally' mowed over 10 years ago...it was growing again!!! I dug it out by the root ball and temporarily transplanted it into a large pot. It had been growing and last summer got blooms. Last fall my ex-husband thought he'd do me a 'favor' and cut back the bush. It almost died. I've been nursing it back and it's growing again but only up, not bushing out. I never knew what kind of rose it is but remember Mom having a trellis bohind the bush but can't remember how tall the bush grew. Any thoughts???

'Sinister 2' Moving Ahead With 'Citadel' Director
Jason Blum's Blumhouse is set to produce and eOne will finance the movie, which will shoot July.
Ciaran Foy, the director behind Citadel, has been tapped to direct Sinister 2, the sequel to the micro-budget horror hit from Blumhouse and Entertainment One.
Scott Derrickson, the director of the original, made the announcement Thursday on Twitter. Derrickson is writing the script with C. Robert Cargill (the duo also wrote the original).
Ciaran has directed several genre shorts and made his feature debut with Citadel, a thriller about an agoraphobic father and a priest who try to protect the man's daughter from feral teens. It won the Midnighter Audience Award at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival.
He is repped by UTA and Independent in UK.
Jason Blum's Blumhouse is producing Sinister 2 with Derrickson. Executive producing are Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Charles Layton, as well as Xavier Marchand and Patrice Theroux of eOne.
EOne will finance the movie, which will shoot July.
Blumhouse International is handling foreign sales. BHI has a worldwide distribution and servicing deal with IM Global.
Sinister, released in October 2012, starred Ethan Hawke and was one of the year's most profitable movies: It grossed over $87 million worldwide on a $3 million budget.

Which Luxury Brand Will Open in Hamburg--Peninsula or Shangri-La?
There's a mystery building in Hamburg, Germany. A historic building that used to house the city's tax authority is receiving some interest from a Hong Kong based hotel group. But which one? Well, that's the mystery. Fortunately, we have some clues.
This German news report asks, "Wird es ein Peninsula Hotels oder Shangri-La Hotels ?"
According to the report, the building, built in 1907, will offer 147 hotel rooms once it goes through its massive renovations, to the tune of 50 million Euros. An investor in the property told another newspaper that the hotel will be managed by a hotel operator based in Asia, which could be either Peninsula or Shangri-la.

London's First Hotel High Up: Shangri-La at the Shard

As promised, now is the time to settle in and ogle what's inside, which we'll break down for you in four parts. You can click on the sections below or just scroll at your leisure.

Shangri-La at the Shard Is Officially Open
The day is finally here: the long-awaited Shangri-La at the Shard London is open. Following a traditional Chinese ceremony of 'awakening the lion', and ribbon cutting and speech by Mayor Boris Johnson earlier today – two things that surely don't come together very often – we stopped by this evening to see what difference a month makes.
The answer to that? A lot, with guests milling about restaurant and lounge Tīng on floor 35, where four weeks ago everything was still wrapped in protective plastic and the only guests were hard-hatted construction workers.

Our First Visit to Shangri-La at the Shard London
Having waited for so long, we were pretty psyched to check out Shangri-La at the Shard last week. One thing we can say for sure now that we've been inside? It will be unlike any other hotel in the city – the Asian-influenced design and skyscraper setting is more Tokyo or Hong Kong than London, even as you look out over the British rooftops.
Arrival happens through the ground floor lobby on St. Thomas Street, which has a reception desk, small seating area, and around the corner, coffee shop and patisserie LÁNG. We liked the mural made out of coffee cups and saucers (see below for a picture), and as the final furniture arrives, LÁNG will also get outdoor seating, between the Shard and the escalator that runs up to the concourse level of London Bridge station.

Going Up to the Dizzying Heights of Shangri-La at the Shard London
About a month from now, Shangri-La Hotels will finally cut the ribbon on its long in the works skyscraper hotel at the Shard in London. Ahead of the May 6 opening, we packed ourselves into a construction lift - high-visibility gear, hard hat and all - for a first look at what you can expect between floors 34 and 52 of the Renzo Piano-designed landmark.
As we heard when reservations opened a few weeks back (opening rates start at Ł450 / $750), the ground floor lobby facing St. Thomas Street looks nearly finished, but some changes to furniture and set up are still to be made. We saw the sky lobby at level 35, which hits you with head-on views of the City and St. Paul's, all the way west towards Westminster, the second you step out of the express lifts.

Out with the Old and In with the New: Shangri-La Introduces Digital Newspapers
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has decided to save the planet in their own small way by introducing environmentally-friendly digital newspapers rather than offering daily delivery of the real thing to each guest's room. Considering the digital service replaces approximately two million print newspapers annually, there are a pretty significant number of trees that are all breathing a sigh of relief.
They've partnered with PressReader, a digital newspaper and magazine service, to do the deed. Hotel and restaurant guests can connect through each hotel's complimentary WiFi via their laptops, tablets or smartphones and read to their heart's content over 2,000 local, regional and international publications from 100 countries in 60 languages. That's a lot of words.
The service can be found across all Shangri-La and Kerry Hotel properties in any and all WiFi enabled areas of the properties, including — yes — hotel cars.
For those of us who still prefer the smooth feel of the newsprint and black, inky fingers in the morning, Shangri-La Hotels are offering a limited number of print newspaper editions by request.

You're in luck today! As we told you last month, The Shangri-La at The Shard Hotel in London has just opened its reservations line.
The hotel will open its doors to real, live, paying guests on May 6th with a superior room starting at 450GBP a night, or an eye-watering $748 USD. Thankfully, that includes VAT.
While the rooms will open on May 6 as will Ting, the signature restaurant and lounge on level 35, the hotel's champagne and cocktail bar, Gŏng--located on the top floor and named after the interlocking wooden brackets commonly used in traditional Chinese architecture and featured throughout the venue-- will open later on in July. It will be the highest champagne and cocktail bar in London when it opens. (FWIW, the infinity pool will also open on level 52, but in the fitness center, not as part of Gŏng.)

Shangri-La at The Shard London Drops an Opening Date of May 6
We can't believe we're typing these words, but the Shangri-La at the Shard London has an opening date. For real!
May 6, 2014 will go down in the history books as the first day guests will be zooming up to level 35 of the Renzo Piano-designed Shard to finally explore the tallest hotel in Western Europe.
Level 34 and 35 will contain the sky lobby, linked together by a grand staircase and offering floor-to-ceiling windows. Guestrooms will be between floors 36 and 50, with views broken down by category, like we talked about just before the end of the year. Over a third of the bathrooms have windows as well, with Aqua di Parma toiletries to use while you soak and soak up the view.

6 New London Hotels To Watch Out For This Year
London has had a few big years in hotels, including our best opening for 2013, but the next twelve months should give us plenty to pore over too. Just like the five worldwide openings we lifted out of our Master List of Worldwide Hotel Openings, here are 6 London hotels you should keep an eye out for this year.
Firmdale's Ham Yard Hotel : we've been taking pictures for a long time of the construction site, but this year should really be the year when Firmdale adds a new flagship to its quirky collection of individually Kit Kemp-styled hotels. Located just off of Piccadilly Circus with 90 rooms and suites and a whole range of amenities (bowling alley anyone?), the hotel will complete a piece of the puzzle in this revamped area between Regent Street and Soho. Recruitment has started, and based on the website, we think it will actually be called the Ham Yard Hotel when it opens in May.

Worst Hotel Hype of 2013: Shangri-La at The Shard London
It's that time of year again: the 2013 HotelChatter Awards! Today and tomorrow, we'll be showcasing the best (and worst) of hotels over the past year. But we couldn't do it without you! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or shoot us an email. And the Award goes to...
As common as a hotel delay is, picking a winner in this category was pretty easy: the saga of the Shangri-La at the Shard in London.
Pictures of the rising skyscraper housing the hotel on floors 34-52 started us off way back in 2010, when we were ever so hopeful that it would arrive in time for the 2012 Summer Olympics. We all know how well that turned out, but later that year we saw some promising signs go up.

No Opening Date, But Some Room Details For Shangri-La at the Shard
We can't tell you much that you don't already know when it comes to Shangri-La at the Shard; we've documented its long and winding road to opening ad infinitum on this site. In fact, it's nearly three and a half years ago we took our first pictures of the then under construction tallest building in Europe.
And no, unfortunately we still have no more specific window for opening than "first quarter of 2014". But! The hotel has an updated, and slightly expanded, website, with details on room types, their views, and what looks like some actual photography from inside the hotel. While we pour over these snippets, we'll go ahead and take it as confirmation – for now – that Shangri-La is indeed committed to making it across the finish line with its second western European hotel.

Re-Creating A 19th Century Thanksgiving
By Sean Hurley
On September 28, 1863, Sarah Josepha Hale of Newport, New Hampshire, wrote a letter to President Lincoln. The author of Mary Had A Little Lamb and one of America's first female novelists wrote, "The subject is to have the day of our annual thanksgiving made a national holiday." Lincoln, a great observer of the wisdom of others, quickly agreed and in 1863 Thanksgiving became our third national holiday alongside Washington's birthday and Independence Day.
NHPR's Sean Hurley set out to discover what Thanksgiving was really like during Sarah Josepha Hale's time. His tack: participating in a 19th century re-creation at the Remick Country Doctor Museum.

Possibility of underage consumption charge being dropped.
Over the weekend I was stopped by an officer and given an underage consumption ticket with a court date on March 17th. The officer said to me personally "If you just show up to the court date the charge will be dropped". There was a friend with me when he said this. I am turning 21 on March 1st and he said it will be an early birthday present. Do you think he was saying that just to get me to show up to court or is there an actual possibility that the charge can be dropped.
You should hire an attorney to represent you on this charge

Slain Toddler's Mom Pleads Guilty To Charges
The mother of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found dead in central Ohio has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.
The leaders of the Ohio Senate seem to have a lot in common; they are both pleased with what was accomplished in their chamber in 2007, a year some called a very slow one. But they disagree strongly on some issues, and at least one could come up for a debate in the next few months.
The first of the presidential candidates filed today for the Ohio ballot. Barack Obama's campaign gathered with supporters and elected officials from all over the state to hand over the petitions to the Ohio Secretary of State. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman led the contingent.
The Ohio National Guard is preparing for its largest single unit deployment since World War Two. 1600 guard members from Ohio and 950 from Michigan begin active duty this week and are headed to Kuwait to support troops in Iraq.

I also found the narrator distracting. It was as if she was a computer reading the book. I loved 3 Cups, so I think I'll actually read the book rather than listen to it.

If we hire Miles, I cannot even imagine what MGoBlog's new banner slogan will be.
I did not make this headline up
If we hire Miles, I cannot even imagine what MGoBlog's new banner slogan will be.
Let 'er rip?
A damn strong banner.
Without a doubt, the banner would read "Woeojuwejhdjwe"
Though I would be comfortable with any play on "Damn Strong"
Say, is that Kentucky Bluegrass? Don't mind if I do."
That's amazing.
(not that I read all 526 of them)
"Our football team is strong and lithe."
He's been hanging out with Gary Busey far too long...
His quotes will have us scratching our heads for years.
But, if he wins -- "Drill baby, drill"
Just a guess.
Les is More
Le smiles and says "Hello"
"Les is more" will be the freep's take.
MGoBlog's will be more along the lines of "Settled for Les", no?
a speech bubble next to a picture of les miles saying "this grass tastes like rubber, I'm going back to Louisiana"
Probably not announced until wednesday...after Les speaks in Dallas
but soon?
I used to think a bunch of you guys were crazy for caring so much about speculation surrounding our program. I guess once you're in the mental institution everyone around you seems normal.
I care way too much about this... and I guess that's a good thing now. Having said that, I can't wait for this to be over. Law School finals and a simutaneous coaching search is not good for you.
However comes in will get by unwavering support.
General Patton = Les Miles
Les Miles = ruse
real coach = Brady Hoke
I would not be pleased with this outcome, just as the Germans were not pleased with the outcome of D-Day. Let's hope these dominos planes aren't made out of fabric
Was it over when the German bombed Pearl Harbor?
"Let him go, he's on a roll..."
You must be a history buff.
Please God let's hope your being sarcastic.
Isn't it required "Man Law" viewing? (sorry in advance if you're a female huma) I don't mean to offend but damn I must be getting old.
Yes. /s
...and Les is speaking on Wednesday in Dallas ... then maybe Les isn't our next coach? Maybe Hoke will be at the team meeting today?
Present and reporting for duty or untill work is over(Like I'm going to get anything done).
Gruden says "No, heck no. I'll be back." when Tirico asked if he'll be entertaining coaching offers. Brandon's stop in Dallas could have been to set a contract framework with Miles agent George Bass. Bass is based in Dallas. No smoke or fire from Patterson. Looks like it's Les. Just my gut. Possible PC tomorrow with an appearance at the OSU game. That would be pretty cool. I wasn't hot on Miles..but I'll get behind him. KEEP IT CLEAN LES!
Thanks for the update. Much easier than skimming three huge threads!
Much as I'd like to read them, no time. Thanks.
And he'll get behind your wife/girlfriend/sister/mother. In fact, he already did. Twice.
"but I'll get behind him."
That is exactly what we all need to do, regardless of who our next coach is. I understand we all have opinions of who we would like to be our next coach however, opinions are like Lessholes. Everyone has them. And U of M is about to have the king of all Lessholes.
Just kidding Less, I love ya. Bottom line is, he wins, he recruits, and he wins! May not always be pretty, but he gets the job done.
Support the troops and support our next coach.
Do "the troops" have to do with Michigan football?
so just got in from my midnight shift, I skimmed through some threads. Let me get this straight. Schad's tweet about the buyout is untrue? Les and DB did meet last night. Les and his family w/ George Bass ate @ Voodoo Bar. Les also met with LSU officials. So in 4 or 5 hours is there going to be an LSU or UM presser?
edit: damn i type slooooow when im tired. sorry guys.
a leak today. If DB has to wait a week for job posting, no PC until tomorrow. Just a guess.
The 7-day law/rule/whatever has been debunked many times. See this U-M HR document, which says the university's 7-day rule for posting can be waived.
Also, the job wasn't posted online until Friday, so even if the 7-day period applied, the end date would be Friday--not Wednesday.
... I heard from a guy with a plumber's crack it was posted late last Wednesday on a vintage cork bulletin board in a boiler room under the Big House.
We know who really runs things around UM.
If the 7 day wait is whats holding him up...today is day 7
LC is still our coach.
from coma.
Camera pans the room...who's standing off to the side of the hospital bed?
...tune in later.
WF? As in Wake Forest?
(head momentarily draws down to his chest, looks up with a steely gaze in his eyes)
Yes, sir. I understand I'm supposed to be on one of the first boats to hit the sands. I accept this responsibility to post snarky comments and emphasize things with ALL CAPS upon recieving the "go" message on Les Miles's hiring. Yes sir, I know I may be negbombed to death, it's all part of fighting for this nation.
The announcement might not happen today, but if Les has made a decision either way, I doubt it'll stay a secret by the end of the day. At some point its going to get out somehow.
Les having a late night snack of peanut butter and banana sandwiches with Elvis at the Stop 'n Rob over on the turnpike last night. There was a cigar-shaped spaceship parked outside and they both jumped in it and flew off somewhere. North, I think. By the way, have you seen my Skoal and John Deere hat anywhere?
The team meeting at 4 is likely to tell the team that a coach has been hired. You would almost certainly hear who it is after that if not get it from leaks way beforehand.
Maybe Brandon is just giving the team a summary of the events that have taken place so far. Filling them in on who he's talked to, the conversations that have taken place, etc. Then he's going to inform them that this is a process and that a decision can't be made in haste. LOL.
I think you're right. I think we're going to have some kind of news leaked shortly before or after 4pm, if not sooner. I'm expecting to hear some news around 1pm CST.
I'm selling pizzas. Those bastards on MGOBLOG play rough, no coach will ever satisfy them all! Brandon out . . .
that the meeting was set up before Dominos 1 was in Baton Rouge. So maybe it's telling, maybe it isn't.
I find it very hard to believe that Brandon hasn't talked to Hoke, and it would have been very easy for the two to have met at Brandon's home in Scottsdale, AZ (which is only about 370 miles from San Diego). It seems that many people (not including me) think so little of Hoke that no one's been bothering to track his whereabouts.
FWIW, both Chengelis and Wojo of the Detroit News late last night indicated they believe Hoke is still in the mix. From Chengelis's story posted about six hours ago:
But Miles is not thought to be the only candidate. Others close to San Diego State coach Brady Hoke, also a former Michigan assistant and thought to be a candidate, stressed Monday night they believe he is still thought to be in the mix. Hoke has made it clear that Michigan is his dream job.
She also claimed that Miles had not been offered the job yet:
A source with knowledge of the meeting [between Brandon and Miles] characterized it as "good" and productive but cautioned that no decision had been reached.
Some tweets from Wojo:
Of course Michigan has talked to Hoke. Of course Michigan HAD to talk to Miles. LSU is letting Miles explore this, and U-M is exploring too.
Remember, Brandon wants a coach. He also wants the closing of Michigan factions. Settling both won't be easy, but he's trying.
In #Michiganfootball search, I think pressure is being applied from all angles. That's why it's hard to see which way it turns, Hoke or Hat.
@rwslade66 A Michigan fan revolt over Hoke would be stupid. Just like expecting Miles to go 11-1 first year would be stupid.
So the theory would be that Brandon, in the deliberate way he operates, has now met with both Hoke and Miles and will decide between the two, while also attempting to mend a fractured fan base. People were so quick to anoint Miles the new coach after the meeting between Brandon and Miles was set that they forgot there could have been another purpose to that meeting.
When Rodriguez was hired there were probably 10-20% of fans that disapproved from the beginning and were a derisive thorn in the program's side balanced by 80-90% of fans excited by his overwhelmingly positive credentials.
If Hoke is hired the same thing will happen, but with those numbers flipped for the same reasons.
the most aggressive of the 10-20% were people who thought Miles should have been hired. I wouldn't care much about Miles being the choice if not for that, despite his age and baggage. I really don't want those assholes to be able to say "I told you so." Because, unlike them, I will support him because he's the Michigan coach, and not work to undermine him just so I can be proven right.
I don't think there will be the numbers you're talking about if it is Hoke -- after some joking around about it and hurt as Denard likely leaves, most true fans, including Brian, will support him. Again, because he's the Michigan coach, and to hell with assholes who don't get that.

Help Keep A Roof Over My Head
A ridiculous amount of time was consumed in the process of building this project. (your text here)
As an individual …
#1 – Most importantly – get in touch with any environmental NGOs you support. Ask them their position on the global peak emissions date. And if it's any later than 2010, then cancel your membership.
Ask them if they support any temperature that exceeds 1C – the temperature we must stay below if we are avoid catastrophic climate change – if it is any higher – if they are evasive in any way – again – cancel your membership.
Invest in a local grassroots organization instead.
#2 – Move your money from a national bank to that of a credit union / cooperative bank or a community bank. Shift the power.
Since companies cannot act in any wider interest than the interest of profit, CSR is of limited use in creating social change. Since CSR is also a vehicle for companies to thwart attempts to control corporate power and to gain access to markets, CSR is a problem not a solution.
Efforts to control corporations' destructive impacts must have a critique of corporate power at their heart and a will to dismantle corporate power as their goal, otherwise they reinforce rather than challenge power structures, and undermine popular struggles for autonomy, democracy, human rights and environmental sustainability. If CSR is the wrong strategy then the million dollar question is, which strategies will be effective in this struggle? Answering this question is beyond the scope of this report, but certain strategies clearly stand out.

Philips HeartStart Home Defibrilllator
By Mike Hanlon
Sudden cardiac arrest causes around 250,000 deaths each year in America. Statistics show that 70 percent of these happen in the home with someone else present. Given that a patient's chance of survival decreases by about 10 percent for each minute that passes after an arrest, the home defibrillator makes sense - especially for those in a high-risk category.
Philips designed the HeartStart Home Defibrillator specifically for ease of use in the home, basing the device on the more than 100,000 Philips automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in use on airlines, in airports, and throughout workplaces and around the world.
The unit includes calm voice instructions and CPR coaching synchronised with the speed of the responder's actions and regular self-tests of multiple system components make the HeartStart virtually maintenance free.
The HeartStart Home Defibrillator including owner's manual and instructional video is currently available via prescription in the US for US$2,295.Share

Index page de-indexed / banned ? other pages are ok

Yesterday google removed our index page from the results.
Today they also removed language subdomains (fr.domain.com)..
Index page, subdomains are not indexed anymore.
Any suggestions?
No messages in GWT. No malware.
Backlink diversification was started in May.
Never penguilized or pandalized.
Last week had the record of all times of daily UV.
Other pages still indexed and driving traffic, left around 40% of total.
Never used any black SEO tool. 95% of backlinks are related; sidebar, footer links
No changes made of index page for couple months.

It sounds like you're experiencing a penalty of some kind, but I don't know exactly what it is called.
>> Backlink diversification
This worries me. How can you control backlinks and therefore diversify? This indicates to me that they are not organic.
>> 95% of backlinks are related; sidebar, footer links
They may well be related, but then I would also assume that that 95% of your backlinks are non-organic and thus discounted and/or viewed as spam. Footer and sidebar links have been discussed extensively on this forum since Penguin.

Classic example of OOP(Over Optimization Penalty). Search around this forum you will find plenty of solutions. Once you do the proper changes it take up to 2 months to start recovering, if lucky maybe 2-3 weeks. Same goes for canonical problems which is part of OOP in some cases.

This sounds like nothing remotely similar to an "OOP". Taking this advice is highly ill-advised.

sidebar footer links can be a big no no. Are these sitewide links? If so, that can be part or the main reason behind the de-indexing.
What about the actual page itself? How many external links? Any hidden text/links going on here?
I would not say you have an over optimization penalty. An over optimization penalty is a name that generalizes ranking losses due to excessive seo tactics such as keyword stuffing (in the title tags, body content or even excessive use of the same/similar anchors in backlinks).
While you may very well have an over optimization penalty, that in itself does not help you because its not very specific.
The problem most of the time is usually the webmaster thinks they did nothing wrong. The way you talk about sidebar/footer links you actually believe these are positive factors for your website when usually they are not.

Ok lets ask the OP to provide the result of the "domain" query without the .tld and then we can go on from there. I bet its not the homepage but some "about us" or similar pages.

Yes, most of links are non-organic, they are bought, but all this industry is buying. Biggest websites has backlink near to us.
No, we dont have any hidden links, external only 5 links to network websites. 299 internal links. keyword density is only 0.9%. there is no over optimization
one more comment.
tools still show we have 71% of backlinks with the "domain anchor" which fits our domain name, 95% do-follow, and to index page.
but subdomains are new and they have small amount of backlinks (same type), so they were kicked because of index?

I've seen behavior like this once in a rare while when it wasn't a penalty. The disappearance hit fast during a significant update, and then it quickly changed back. I do have some strong ideas about what kind of bug this might be, but there's little we can do about a short term bug so my theories are pretty irrelevant.
Penalties don't usually (don't ever?) last 3-4 days. I think you've been hit by a Google data bug. Please do keep us all updated about any changes for the subdomains.
BTW, if I'm right about this particular bug, it could mean that
your site is flagged as a STRONG one, not a troubled one.

Could this be connected with pre-panda update, algo change, which was on 14th?
Index page have rotating products. Subpages have less information and are rarely updated.
Maybe it would be better to stop the rotation of index, add new products every day and more information near to it. It would be content rich in this case.
With subdomains we can do is only turn on the rotation with products with more information. Impossible to add new products everyday.
The leader website index came back, but not the subs. Visitors came back, except the subdomain country related ones.
The second leader index is still down, but Germany subdomain is up, and its visitors are almost at the same level.
Other 10 smaller website index pages are still down. Visitors come only from product pages.
I am not sure if this is content issue or domain/keyword/backlinks related problem.

Leader website subpages are up again. And bringing visitors as usual. We did not make any changes.
All other 10 websites are still in same situation..
These 10 website have the content from the leader website, so this might be the reason. We are planning to add lots of fresh content here.

Here's my theory. The Google back end works with seed websites of various kinds. There are "tables" of very high trust sites, very low trust sites, sites that line up with different qualities that Google works with.
These "tables" contain only the hostnames, and not the rest of the URLs. And those hostnames need to be imported into the full index right when it goes live - and that means imported to a lot of server clusters, not just one.
Google moves a LOT of data from server cluster to server cluster, during development and when going live. In fact, one "server" can better be understood as a building full of server racks. At Google's scale, and with the Caffeine infrastructure, one physical machine is just not a realistic unit.
Sometimes those data ports on the back end get buggy - it happens. Partial data imports, corrupted entries, etc. And then sometimes a good site can lose its home page (its hostname) for a while, because of a data problem that occurred with the "good site data import".
Or so goes my theory.
A lot of reading and data study has gone into it, but I sure can't claim it's verified. The most I can say is that during the time where we focused on watching the various data centers, some members here are sure they saw it happen in real time. And some members saw their home page disappear from the google.com SERPs but not from Google's other ccTLDs.

Thanks for that tedster one of my sites is experiencing something similar to this site is still everywhere in other tlds but has only 4 pages (out of 200) indexed at .com. Weirdly the pages seem to be completely random in age etc. I have had this happen before and the site came back after a few days so I am not concerned it is just nice to see I am not the only one to experience this.

Nice location within walking distance of VictoriaPosted Mar 24, 2015
Pros: Location
Cons: Rooms and bathrooms in the Laurel Wing are old and outdated. A motel would have been better value for money.
Location: Close to Victoria harbour, downtown and nice walks.
Our experience with the food and service was good. We booked a room with a King size bed and were told we could only have a King size if we were prepared to pay extra and upgrade. Also the duvet cover was very thin and we had to keep the room heat turned up to stay warm. Our room was across from a service room where staff were going in and out so was noisy at times. The condition of the room furnishings and bathroom were outdated and did not warrant a 4 star hotel.

Thank you for your comments Sara. Although our Expedia listing does indicate that bed-types are assigned based on availability, we can certainly understand your disappointment. We agree that our room furnishings need updating and we are currently placing new furniture pieces in our rooms. Though they were not in place for your most recent stay, we hope that you will notice an improvement on your next visit.

30th AnniversaryPosted Mar 23, 2015
Pros: Above but also had a nice lounge to grab coffee or tea in the morning or just sit and read a book. There was also a TV there.
Cons: Renting a movie was a bit awkward as we had to put in our CC info to buy the movie instead of it just being billed to the room.
Location: IMAX theatre, Government Building, Chinatown, Fort Street, Craigdarroch Castle, The Stickey Wicket, waterfront park and waterfront walk.
Opted for the bay view room w King bed. Very spacious, well appointed and quiet. Lovely view of the bay. Excellent food in the AURA restaurant (only ate breakfast however). Very close to Victoria Clipper dock and we walked about 1 block along the water to the entrance to the hotel.

Nice view of HarbourPosted Mar 22, 2015
A pleasant quiet night. The restaurant is great. Good food, good prices. Downtown is a 10 minute walk along the harbour. A very nice walk. This is my new first choice when staying in Victoria.
by A verified traveler
Posted Mar 19, 2015
Pros: Location
Cons: More friendly staff.
Location: Location was okay and located close to downtown and the harbour.
The hotel was fine as such however the atmosphere was somewhat strained. It just didn't seem like a happy place for staff or travellers. It was satisfactory but not as nice as the Grand Pacific.

Modern, comfortable, good views, nice size room.Posted Mar 13, 2015
Pros: Clean, comfortable, nicely located, good views, good restaurant.
Cons: The fitness center is minimal and needs to be redone.
Friendly staff, very clean, comfortable bed. Small fridge in the room a plus. Fitness center is not very good. Too small and insufficient equipment.

Cons: Maintenance of room furnishings could be improved. The writing desk had chips out of it
Very nice hotel in a great location on the water. Close to downtown with all its bustle and attractions, but itself very quiet. Very competent and helpful staff. Rooms facing west overlook a marina, rooms facing east the city and inner harbor. The Erickson wing have large guestrooms with the best bathrooms we've ever seen, all in marble. Impeccable design and attention to detail gives this part of the hotel an almost serene elegance.

Great view if you get a room that faces harborPosted Mar 10, 2015
Pros: Harbor view
Cons: One front desk staff member was not very accommodating. Had to really push to get what we wanted(and what we thought we had reserved)
The room given to us was not like the internet pictures. To get a full harbor view we had to ask to change to a different room, which was much better. Its all about the view here. Other than that the hotel is good but not exceptional.

Thank you for your comments Gary, we are so pleased that we were able to find the right view for your stay. The room that we had originally reserved for you, overlooked Victoria's outer harbour. We will note of your guest profile that you prefer views of the inner harbour.

Perfect Room, Great LocationPosted Mar 6, 2015
Pros: The room, the view, the location and the staff.
Cons: Pillows!
Location: It is a perfect location. Just a wee way off the noisier centre but right on the water and close enough to everything to walk.
Friends had recommended this hotel so we decided to book it for our anniversary. We've stayed in many of the downtown Victoria hotels and this may be the best one yet. We had a lovely room--the most beautiful bathroom ever! Hotel staff recommended a couple of lovely walks and a super restaurant for our anniversary dinner. We took the water ferry over to the other side for another walk in the sunshine. The only thing that wasn't perfect were the pillows; next time we will bring our own. We will return for sure.

very uncomfortable!
I ordered these because I love my memory foam mattress, but am very disappointed. They make your pillows hard and very uncomfortable! I have down pillows and wanted to protect them as well as enhance the comfort as my memory home mattress is ultra comfortable. Don't order these if you like a soft comfortable pillow as they cause it to be hard and stiff.Read More
No longer "Sleepless in Raleigh"
These pillows are beautiful. Good quality. I am a side sleeper and I ordered the firm set. I wasn't expecting them to be as good as described but they are very good quality. The ones I ordered are too firm for me. I should have ordered the Medium. I am not disappointed in my purchase though because I run a bed and breakfast and I am sure I will have a guest here and there that would like the firmness of these pillows to sleep on. If there was an overstock store that was open to the public that you could go and touch and feel the products before you buy I would have been able to pick out the right set for myself.Read More

Shopping Guides
How to Pick Memory Foam Pillows for Kids
Since children spend a large amount of time sleeping during their crucial development stages, it's important to help them rest comfortably. Memory foam pillows will improve your child's sleeping posture, resulting in restful and productive sleep. The dense material molds to the child's shape, cradling his or her neck and head. Here's what to look for when you shop online for your child's memory foam pillow.
How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Memory foam, also called "temper foam," was first developed by NASA in the mid-1960s to ensure passenger comfort and protection in airplane seats. Memory foam mattress toppers mold to the body, and then slowly spring back to their original shape. This makes them ideal for those with back or joint pain. However, not all memory foam mattress toppers are the same. Here's how to choose one that will best suit your needs.
Best Pillow-top Mattresses for Back Pain
The key to a good night's sleep when you have chronic back pain is as simple as choosing a good pillow-top mattress. Choosing the best mattress involves knowledge of your personal needs and preferences. To get a comfortable night's sleep, start by choosing a pillow-top mattress made from the right materials for you. Next, choose your preferred thickness. Finally, have firm sleep support underneath the cushions of the pillow-top. Below, you'll learn the best pillow-top mattresses for back pain. Choose the materials: Pillow-top mattresses are made from a variety of materials, so choosing the one that is right for you can make all the difference in the world. People with muscle pain should consider down pillow-top mattresses, which provide a cocoon to sleep in. Those with back issues will generally prefer memory foam pillow-top mattresses, which conform to the body and offer consistent support to areas like the lower back. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's information regarding the recommended weight allowances for these types of pillow-tops. Consumers who are heavier than the recommendations may find that the pillow-top cushion compresses in uncomfortable ways, leaving the mattress lumpy. Determine the thickness: Pillow-top mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, from just 2 inches to 8 or more inches deep. Like choosing the right materials for your pillow-top, choosing the right depth is vital to getting a good night's sleep. Thinner pillow-top mattresses will allow more of the support from the remainder of the mattress to come through and will not develop body indentations as pronounced as those in a deep pillow-top. Pillow-top mattresses that are too soft may fail to provide back support and cause an increase in back pain. However, deep pillow-top mattresses are excellent for customers who suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain. Check the warranty: Just as you would with any other purchases of its size, check the warranty of your pillow-top mattress. Most manufacturers will provide limited, pro-rated replacement warranties for manufacturer's defects, and some will provide a "comfort guarantee." Others may have specific conditions that must be met in order to maintain the warranty, such as having a boxed spring by the same manufacturer. Take note of any special conditions for the warranty and keep the paperwork. View All Mattresses Back to Guides Directory View All Mattresses

Best Memory Foam Mattresses for Any Budget

When you are looking for the right one, it's important to find something that provides both support and comfort. The growing trend in bedding is memory foam. Its ability to conform to the body makes it an ideal purchase for those who suffer from back or joint pain; however, memory foam mattresses aren't all the same, and the prices can vary greatly. No matter what your budget is, though, there is one out there for you.
How to Compare Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
An investment in a good night's sleep, a memory foam mattress topper is made to mold to your individual shape, support every part of your body, and cut down on painful pressure points that can develop when you're not properly supported during sleep. Mattress toppers also add a bit more padding to your standard mattress, making your bed even more relaxing. Here's how to choose the best one for you.

Tim Paine leads Hobart Hurricanes to victory over Perth Scorchers
- From: AAP
- January 01, 2013
FORGOTTEN Test gloveman Tim Paine cracked the highest score of his tough comeback from injury to steer the Hobart Hurricanes to a six-wicket Big Bash League win over the Perth Scorchers at Blundstone Arena.
Paine finally returned to his best with 74 from 57 balls as the Hurricanes chased down Perth's 8-152 with nine balls to spare.
The 28-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, who was the heir apparent to ex-Australian gloveman Brad Haddin, has endured no fewer than six operations on the finger he broke in an exhibition Twenty20 match more than two years ago.
Paine put on 90 from 60 balls with Ricky Ponting (34 from 26) to lead the Hurricanes to their third straight win and third place on the BBL ladder.
Perth's three-game winning streak is over, with their season now 3-3.
