Unverified Voracity Founds Iowa City Torch And Pitchfork
Let's check in with Iowa City. Hell no they ain't happy after a narrow escape against Ball State and then the missed-it-TO-made-it sequence to lose to Iowa State for the ninth time under Ferentz. The ninth time!

It's kind of like Michigan if Brady Hoke was permanently unfireable. They're probably going to be okay-ish, they are frustrated with their archaic program (and Iowa is way more archaic than Michigan except when Iowa plays Michigan), fans would probably like to move on. But, uh, not happening:
If Iowa were to fire Ferentz for convenience, the school would continue to owe him 75% of his annual guaranteed salary for the remaining years in his contract. …
Ferentz's base salary has climbed each year since 2010, hitting $2.07 million for the current season. It stays at that level for the next five years. Ferentz also receives supplemental income in the amount of $1.48 million per year, bringing his total salary up to $3.55 million per season. That means if Ferentz were fired at the end of this year, Iowa would owe him $13.3 million, to be paid in monthly installments between now and 2020. That amounts to
roughly $2.7 million per year.
And this is a guy arguing that Iowa can totally afford to dump him. It is possible. Charlie Weis is still getting paid by Notre Dame; the Irish offered him a total of 19 million to go do anything else. (All will be forgiven if one day Weis cites Foul Ole Ron as one of his inspirations.) It's just hard to see Iowa pulling the trigger given that they've put up with all the stuff they've already put up with from Ferentz so far, including the rhabdo event and going 4-8 more than a decade into your tenure.
And then there's the question facing Michigan fans who want a change: is there anyone out there who seems like a good idea? Or is it Terry Bowden sweepstakes time again?
Alabama will just tell you stuff. Because it doesn't matter if you get the kind of stuff that laymen will understand, Alabama's just like "okay here let's talk about it," which makes for interesting articles about the Tide facing a blizzard of screens in their early games against overmatched foes and how you go about dealing with that:
"When they're throwing fast, get your hands up," defensive end Jonathan Allen said. "If they throw a screen, you have to retrace. That's what really defeats the screen is when the linemen retrace and run to the ball. That'll really take away from the screen. So our job's just beginning as soon as he throws the ball."
This is not rocket science. It is part of a respectful-seeming conversation happening about football in front of the media that the media can then go use to write interesting stories, thus increasing the overall happiness around the program slightly.
And this is Alabama, home to the notoriously prickly Nick Saban. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be on the Michigan beat. I can count the multitudes who have fled.
Meanwhile at Michigan. The university's notoriously expensive FOIA department strikes again:
Michigan attempted to charge CBS $410 for a FOIA request looking for data into basic 4-year scholarship #'s. More than anyone else, by far
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) September 16, 2014
The only two possibilities here are that Michigan is breaking the law or that they run the most inefficient FOIA office in the country, which implies things about the efficiency of the rest of the unduly-closeted operation. Either way this should change. If you end up talking to Schlissel ask him which possibility is the truth.
And yes more dead horse spread punt stuff but this answer is just …
Hoke asked about why he doesn't use the spread punt: "I've always been a pro style punt (coach). ... I really don't want to talk about it."
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) September 10, 2014
Okay. What would you like to talk about?
One of the ultimate people in charge of things. Spencer Hall roasts Goodell and shows why the people in charge of things are just in charge of them:
Remember now what a blank social boffin the NFL strapped to its face to begin with: a Senator's son from a safety school who quite literally never worked anywhere else but in the sports job he got directly out of college. Roger Goodell's resume is a hollow blandishment of institutional servitude. He fought in the arbitration wars; he coordinated the events. Calendars were heroically arranged.
Do not expect that having a job means anything. Every great organization will one day hire the moron who will destroy them.
People in charge of coin tosses are just in charge of them. If you missed this from Saturday, whoah:
That's Texas electing to kick after UCLA deferred, the ref explaining this, and Texas's captains going "sounds good to me!" Shockingly, Charlie Strong did not kick them off the team immediately. I would have.
Apparently this happens about once a year? I could never be a coach. I would assume that things like brushing your teeth were outside of my purview and lose games because of it.
Also in CFB oddities. So this was a trick play:
"What should I do on this play to draw attention to myself, coach?"
"Have you seen Showgirls, son?"
"No. Unless the answer is supposed to be yes. Then yes."
"Son. I'm going to need you to flop around like an electrocuted fish like when Nomi—"
"How about I just fall over?"
"I am just going to fall over."
Arkansas threw at the "tackle", who was eligible, and two different guys on Miami intercepted the same pass. Should have flopped around like an electrocuted fish.
And the oddest oddity. Boston College ran for 452 yards against USC! That is not the grand total of Eagle rushing yards in all Boston College games against USC ever! It is one game from Saturday! What?
you could see the Eagles wear down USC's discipline and will with one play in particular, applied heavily over the course of the game: the zone read with a lead arc block by a tight end.
The common way this play is run is with the QB choosing to handoff or keep the ball. If he keeps, he's attacking the edge based on a read of an unblocked defensive end, with a lead blocker for him on the edge.
BC kept USC off balance with a bunch of other stuff; it was an arc block on the zone read keep that was the killer time and again.
Etc.: Matt Hinton's weekly has landed at Grantland, and is recommended. We don't feature because no one pays attention to 34-10 MAC games. That UGA-SoCar first down is the definition of margin of error.
Guy with name as difficult to spell as Coach K bombs Coach K. I don't really know why Paul George exploding is a big deal in this context; if not playing for USA he would have been doing something else that put his leg in danger.
It begins. Malzahn wants to go even faster. Va Tech's offense under Loeffler. What's wrong with Iowa's ground game.
Fee Fi Foe Film: Iowa Offense
Greg Davis totally-not-a-photoshop via BHGP, obviously
Due to the nature of available video, the lack of teams that are remotely comparable to Michigan either in style or skill, and the strange ways of the universe, I once again am here to do an opponent breakdown using a game involving Northwestern. Yes, Northwestern lost. Yes, it happened in overtime. It's not your fault, Northwestern fans. It's not your fault.
Anyway, Iowa drove for a touchdown on their first drive, scored just three points in the rest of regulation, missed a potential game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter, threw an interception with a chance to get into field goal range at the very end of regulation, and then scored the eventual game-winning touchdown on their first possession of overtime. This is a team that leans on its stellar defense to carry most of the load while their offense attempts to bash its way downfield; that said, this isn't last year's Iowa offense, which is a good thing for Iowa.
Spread, Pro-Style, or Hybrid? Pro-style. Iowa utilizes a ton of two-TE sets, runs most of their offense from under center, and goes into the shotgun almost exclusively for obvious passing downs.
Basketball on Grass or MANBALL? Iowa ran almost entirely zone blocking concepts in this game, with the exception of a couple I-form power plays that weren't effective beyond getting two or three yards. Their linemen are very well suited to zone blocking, as you'll see below.
Hurry it up or grind it out? I don't mean to alarm you, but Iowa has gone to a no-huddle offense. I repeat: IOWA HAS GONE TO A NO-HUDDLE OFFENSE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Yes, that is the Hawkeye offense full-blown tempo-ing Northwestern for a critical fourth-down conversion despite the umpire inexplicably standing on top of the ball and allowing the Wildcats to get set. This was the key sequence in a drive featuring Iowa playing at a pace resembling Penn State's up-tempo stuff until they hit the red zone, when they got more deliberate and scored a touchdown. They maintained the no-huddle throughout the game, though the pace slowed as the game wore on, in part because Iowa held a lead for much of the game.
Quarterback Dilithium Level (Scale: 1 [Navarre] to 10 [Denard]): Jake Rudock is by no means a burner; he's nimble enough to escape the pocket and do some damage with his legs (like in the video above), however, and Iowa even ran a couple zone reads with him. I'll give him a 6; he's rushed for 220 yards on 40 carries (5.6 ypc) with five touchdowns once sacks are removed.
[Hit THE JUMP for the rest of the breakdown.]
This Week in the Twitterverse
We're back from last week's foray into the Pit of Despair. Unfortunately for you, I'm on vacation next week, so you'll get Round Two of the search for the height of ennui. And I think it will be harder to stomach than the first bunch. Armanti Edwards will feature prominently, as will Rich Rodriguez. Just remember: this will hurt me more than it will hurt you. In the meantime, as usual if you come across any social media happenings worth noting, send them to @Bry_Mac.
Michigan rules the Twitterverse
A Michigan Man remains connected to his community. Very connected.
(via Business Insider)
Michigan football (@umichfootball) is the most followed official team account in college athletics. Michigan basketball (@umichbball) is the fifth most followed official team account in college athletics. Between the two accounts, they have, uh… math… a lot of followers. Like thousands. So bravo to Michigan's digital media folks. I award you one (1) Internet. Michigan State's football and basketball accounts are next in the B1G at #13 and #15, respectively. I guess the rest of the conference really needs to get its crap together. /Urban'd
Reporters suspect college student may have gotten drunk and slept in one time
Johnny Manziel was in the news this week when he was reportedly sent home from the Many Manning Men Passing Camp for showing up late and hung over. The whole topic has been done to death, so I don't really want to talk about it, but there is one reaction worth noting. Mark May has had enough of Johnny Football's disgraceful actions, and isn't afraid to say so.
Alright Johnny Football enough is enough this is your last wake up call STOP BRINGING SHAME TO THE GAME !
— Mark May (@mark_may) July 16, 2013
You may think "SHAME TO THE GAME" is a little harsh, but you've gotta respect a guy who won't tolerate people disregarding the social norms while purporting to represent the greater football community...
(H/T to A&M's SB Nation site, Good Bull Hunting, on the find)
In case you missed the fun part of that, May was charged during his college days with, among other things, "inciting to riot" and "terroristic threats." He apparently went on a Will Campbell hood-destroying escapade, except that BWC's shenanigans were cheeky and fun while May's shenanigans were, to use a technical legal term, "light terrorism." Some people (read: all people) might think this makes Mark May look like a gigantic hypocrite when he gets all huffy when a college student shows up to something hung over. But May responded, pointing out that (a) only people who have DONE bad things can CRITIQUE bad things, and (b) f*** your punctuation and logic.
Thats why I can critique experience
— Mark May (@mark_may) July 16, 2013
Hard to disagree with that kind of logic, because by the time you find the logic, it's next Tuesday and we've moved on to other things. It's worth noting that he hasn't tweeted a single thing about Aaron Hernandez or Jeremy Hill, and I haven't seen him comment publicly about them. Murder* and battery** don't bring shame to the game. That distinction falls to being a self-indulgent, self-important immature prima donna and/or typical college student (again, not a debate worth having AGAIN), because lord knows football can't survive with one of THOSE in its ranks.
**Not allegedly. He did that. That's assault, brotha (but not really, but there's no applicable Adam Sandler quote for battery so we'll just pretend).
[A jump, after which either sharks or Bacari Alexander will fall out of the sky.]
Fee Fi Foe Film: Iowa
This week Michigan plays Iowa, which means I just got done charting every snap of an offense coached by Greg Davis. I'm pretty sure this is grounds for a hostile working environment lawsuit, but thankfully I'm not particularly litigious. Since I couldn't bear to watch last week's Iowa-Purdue pillowfight, I took a look at the Hawkeyes's matchup against... Indiana.
Spread, Pro-Style, or Hybrid? Pro-style. The Hawkeyes spent the entire game in a one-back formation—because using two backs is clearly begging for an AIRBHG strike—with 35 snaps from under center and 16 in the gun, most of the latter coming on third down situations.
Basketball on Grass or MANBALL? Iowa mostly utilizes zone blocking. As in, somebody should tell Greg Davis there are run plays besides the zone stretch. Just a thought.
Hurry it up or grind it out? Grind it out. Greg Davis needs plenty of time to contemplate his next playcall (okay, okay, it's a zone stretch—you got me).
Quarterback Dilithium Level (Scale: 1 [Navarre] to 10 [Denard]): James Vandenberg rarely takes off except in instances of extreme panic; with sacks removed, he's got 126 rushing yards on 31 carries this year. I'll give him a 3.
Dangerman: In this offense? An oxymoron.
Okay, if I have to choose someone, it's senior wideout Keenan Davis, whom the BTN announcer described as Iowa's "big-play threat"—he has 46 receptions for 560 yards (12.2 ypc) and one touchdown. He averaged over 14 yards per catch across from Marvin McNutt last year, but in case you haven't been following the Hawkeyes this season, the offense has taken a bit of a turn.
Zook Factor: This category could easily be named after Kirk Ferentz (except, strangely, when he plays Michigan). In this game, down three points with 4:52 left, he punted on 4th-and-inches from his own 28-yard line; this isn't that egregious for Ferentz, but Advanced NFL Stats has the break-even point for that situation (actually, 4th-and-1, so this is generous) at a 0.56 success rate, and 4th-and-1 situations are conveted at a 0.76 success rate. He actually had his offense out on the field until a review of the spot, which stood, before sending out the punt team.
Iowa got the ball back with 18 seconds left and couldn't produce a miracle drive.
Ferentz will probably grow a pair against Michigan, because this is what he does, and it probably won't matter.
HenneChart: The advantage, for a given definition of the word, of Davis's dink-and-dunk offense is that your downfield success rate doesn't look terrible thanks to a series of throws three yards "downfield":
This was also Vandenberg's best game of the Big Ten season by a wide margin—his 7.3 yards per attempt was a full yard over his next-best conference effort and well above his average of 5.5(!) in six B1G contests. While the structure of the offense usually allows Vandenberg to avoid crippling mistakes, he threw a bad interception into the end zone when he expected Indiana's cornerback to pass the receiver off to the safety, and instead the corner dropped right into the throw. You'll also see later that Vandenberg missed a golden opportunity for a long touchdown pass.
[Hit THE JUMP for the rest of the breakdown.]
Things That Happened During The Great Malware Disaster Of 2011
Every recruit ever committed to Michigan. To recap the "Hello" posts if you missed any of them during GMD11:
- Three star OH CB Tamani Carter, a recent Minnesota commit, was offered by Michigan and flipped.
- 3/4 star CB Raymon Taylor, an Indiana decommit, went with Michigan when they offered him the second time around.
- Michigan replaced decommit K Matt Goudis with CA K Matt Wile, an Army All-America participant who doesn't have the rankings but we're talking about kicker rankings here.
- 3/4 star LB Antonio Poole was offered and quickly committed after meeting with Mattison. Touch The Banner also has a take.
- Michigan snake oiled Purdue commit and three star TX QB Russell Bellomy. TTB sees shades of McNown.
In addition, OH TE/LB Frank Clark and CO LB Leilon Willingham have moved into the "expected to commit" category. Clark's from Glenville, of all places.
The names and stars aren't that impressive—the partially shirtless are shirtless in the same way Martavious Odoms was, a four star to one site and a generic three star to the others—but if we're talking about Michigan 2013 is the new Martavious Odoms better than air? Yes. And who doesn't like Odoms, anyway?
Even if this is just a version of Rodriguez's quick strikes upon taking the Michigan job, Hoke and Mattison (and I guess some other guys*) are doing this in about a fourth of the time Rodriguez had to assemble the last eight members of his hybrid class. And they screwed over Purdue in the process, thereby twisting the knife on Danny Hope and blowing up one of the very first Rodriguez The Demon memes: the "gentleman's agreement." Excellent work all around. Hope you play as a redshirt senior, kid.
Now we've got some insight into what the coaches think is lacking on the team: defense. Here is a small child reacting to this not at all obvious revelation.
there's gambling in this establishment?
More than the linebacker avalanche it's Michigan essentially turning down one-time silent WR commits Devin Lucien, one of those borderline four star types, and Hakeem Flowers, a three star with epic offers. Both tried to firm up those commits with the new staff and were politely told "defense or GTFO." They chose the latter. Michigan has a surplus on the outside now but surely one of those guys wouldn't have been overkill, right?
Similarly, this Heitzman kid they picked up from Vandy is a 6'3", 225 pounder who doesn't seem like he's got a high upside as a DE. So everyone assumed he was a tight end, since Michigan was trying hard to acquire one even before the shift to a more MANBALL philosophy. He denies this, saying Michigan isn't even talking about offense. Which is weird because between Roh, Paskorz, and Beyer Michigan seems to have undersized weakside DE covered for a good long while.
*[Seriously, all the commits save the Purdue snake oilin' are on defense, and the only defensive coach other than Mattison is Mark Smith. Smith is a 50-something dude who's afraid of flash photography. While a lot of the guys are linebackers I think "I coached Ray Lewis" is more the pitch than "I was the ILB coach at Indiana State for 22 years."]
Rick Comley announced his retirement. Red Berenson is "surprised." He's the only one.
Good for Michigan State hockey, good for interesting games against State in the future, still extremely uncertain if they'll get back to where they were under Mason. They've never recruited at the level Michigan has but made up for it with suffocating anti-hockey. Now they're not very good, playing in a dead, half-full building, and trying to compete against the OHL, Michigan, Miami, and Notre Dame. If they hire a real star they'll get back quickly but is Blasi going to leave Miami for MSU? Is George Gwozdecky? I have a hard time seeing MSU splashing the cash for their hockey coach—we'll see.
If it's Danton Cole that's the equivalent of hiring Brady Hoke. He'll be decent but that hire won't put the fear of God in Red or Jeff Jackson. The only name in the TOC thread on this is current assistant Tom Newton, which would be like hiring Mike Debord if Carr had stuck around for the 3-9 year. I'm sure you can dismiss that possibility.
While we're on hockey here's that delightful interlude from the aftermath of the Brown scrum:
Via Michigan Hockey Net.
People started muttering about what it would take for John Beilein to get the axe. It's in the paper and everything. BWS is digging out the wet owl and following that up with the obvious argument about his record.
This is what it will take for John Beilein to get fired this year: Armageddon. There are enough arrows pointed in the right direction, mostly in the persons of Burke, Brundidge, Robinson, Hardaway, et al, that Michigan will give Beilein the epic length of rope they gave Tommy Amaker. He won't get nailed next year and the team will be considerably better in 11-12, and probably better yet in 12-13, whereupon they'll either be a consistent tourney team or even the smitten Michigan athletic department will have to cut the cord.
Of course, I said this about Rich Rodriguez, too, but John Beilein is the kind of saint Michigan likes to be associated with.
Doctor Saturday embarked on his annual defense of the "recruiting-industrial complex." Every year the numbers are the same: on an individual and team basis recruiting numbers are not fate but not useless. Get The Picture set to highlightin' the bit I was going to highlight because Michigan is Georgia:
Those 13 schools [at the top of the recruiting rankings] alone have consistently produced a majority of the top five in the final polls, half of the top 10, at least half of the teams in the BCS and all of the national champions in the BCS era. (With Auburn's triumph – thanks mainly to über recruit Cam Newton, the five-star headliner of a top five class last year – only two of the top dozen recruiting powers have failed to win a BCS championship: Georgia and Michigan. [Emphasis added.]
We've had a lot of reasons our recruiting success hasn't translated to the field—at least, not the field in Ann Arbor. Georgia not so much, as they seem around where Carr was in '05—good young second year quarterback on a team that's around .500 with a declining coach that has maybe a kick or two left at the can.
People who don't lift weights found out what "rhabdomyolysis" is thanks to Iowa. I'm on with Orson when he dismisses the "save the children" aspect of the media reaction—the big issue is more effective sickle cell trait screening, not squatting until you pee brown. While Iowa's strength coach should probably be fired it's more stupid than immoral.
But man can Iowa rack up the terrible PR. Kirk Ferentz wasn't even at the press conference, and the university thought it could get away with a bland press release about thirteen kids being in the hospital. Add that to Iowa's seemingly biannual drug explosion, that weird press conference held late last year in which unnamed rumors were debunked without mentioning what they were, the laundry list of Hawkeye arrests, and that sketchy sexual assault cover-up-type-substance and it's a wonder that beautiful square-jawed Kirk Ferentz is still regarded a molder of men. Or maybe it's not.
"Nice jaw!"
Was that a question?
All right then.
The meme was blessed by Steele. Remember those depressing charts from the past couple years with returning starters and whatnot? Yeah…
|San Jose St
…different story this year. That doesn't even count Troy Woolfolk, though it does count Terrible McFieldgoalkicker. Call it a wash.
Oh, Snape. Michigan soccer associate head coach Paul Snape got the head job at Butler. I'm only mentioning it so I can post… awww. Stupid Google. I can't find the version of this…
That I once saw somewhere that said "Oh, Snape." Also it turns out to be a Harry Potter reference. Stupid Harry Potter and the horrifying things you'll see photoshopped if you attempt to find the slightly modified version of this stupid animated GIF.
Etc.: Thumbs up to the Mountain West for its supreme dickery in moving this year's TCU-Boise game to the blue turf. Mark Smith looks like that all the time, but it's less alarming when he's talking. Hecklinksi, meanwhile, sounds like he's saying "you are feeling very sleepy" no matter what he's saying. It's very soothing.

RP Ideas Interest Query
> Marvel Universe Idea
Ok, so basically this rp idea is based off of the Marvel Universe. The time this RP would be set around is during the Marvel Civil War (if you are familiar to the new series). This is a summary of the Civil War of Marvel U:
What began with a flash of naiveté, ended with the deaths of hundreds. In the quiet suburban town of Stamford, Connecticut, reality TV stars and young heroes the New Warriors staged an attack on a group of villains they believed they could easily defeat. But with the battle almost won for the heroes, the villainous Nitro unleashed a massive explosion, killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children, along with nearly everyone engaged in the melee.
With that incident as the igniting spark, everything in the U.S. changed. Superhero regulation and Registration swept through the government and sides were quickly drawn.
Iron Man acts as the figurehead for the government, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Registration. Hoping to persuade wayward heroes and misguided villains into joining the cause, Iron Man has been branded a fascist and traitor by some. But he believes that he is working for the greater good, attempting to prevent another Stamford incident and to hopefully make the world a safer place.
Unfortunately for Iron Man, Captain America doesn't see it that way. Viewing Registration as a crushing blow to civil liberties, the fighting, flag-wearing symbol of America leads a smaller, underground resistance movement. Cap's anti-Registration forces may fight an uphill battle against the collective forces of an army of superheroes, the government and S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's a war they truly believe in, and these freedom fighters are ready to fight to their dying breath.
More than just a battle of ideals, the superhero Civil War has seen the death of some heroes and the apparent return of others. There have been earth-shattering revelations and costly changes of heart. There have been unorthodox recruitments and bold maneuvers. And while Civil War has already vastly affected the status quo, the road ahead looks to forever change the landscape of the Marvel U.
Now that you have the time, the setting would be held in New York City, where most of the action takes place. This will be both a free form RP and a story based. You basically jump from free form to story at any time. You would be able to create your own Marvel Super Hero, and his actions would be based off of his/her intake on the situation; either joining Cap or Iron man's cause.
Each hero has to have a weakness. I will not tolerate insanely powerful superheroes. Try to make your hero as realistic as possible. You can form your own team of heroes with other players in the game or you can go solo. You can also join up with current teams, such as the X-Men or New Avengers (the real avengers are disbanded in the comic series.)
Hopefully this takes interest, and I can get this up and running soon.

A technical standard is an established norm or requirement about technical systems.

Political protests may be rocking Egypt with a new, nonideological force, but President Hosni Mubarak and his allies have not veered from a playbook they have followed through nearly three decades of one-party rule.
As always, the government has responded to the unrest primarily as a security issue, largely ignoring, or dismissing, the core demands of those who have taken to the street.
"My analysis is, the government will leave them until they reach a level of exhaustion," said Abdel Moneim Said, a member of the President's ruling party and the director of the government-owned newspaper and publishing house, Al Ahram.
The Egyptian leadership, long accustomed to an apolitical and largely apathetic public, remains convinced that Egypt is going through the sort of convulsion it has experienced and survived before.
The leaders see in the protest an experience similar to the events of 1977, when Anwar el-Sadat, then the President, announced plans to end subsidies of basic food items, setting off 36 hours of rioting across the country. They see a repeat of the threat the government faced from Islamist militants in the 1990s, which it violently suppressed. And so the leaders have fallen back on a familiar strategy, deploying security forces, blaming the Islamists and defining their critics as driven by economic, not political, concerns.
"I can't think of anybody that I know that has any concern about the stability of the regime," Mr. Said added. But the Egyptian playbook is not just calling for a strategy that runs on the fumes of history. Like the protesters, Mr. Mubarak and his allies appear to have learned lessons from Tunisia's popular revolt.
The main one appears to be not to give an inch.
While Tunisia's ousted president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, went on television and offered his now frequently mocked concession "I understand you", Mr. Mubarak has remained silent, leaving it to his proxies to try to calm the unrest. That may be because neither side in this fight has much room to manoeuvre.
The opposition does not have an available political path to change, other than protest. And Mr. Mubarak has little to offer because he has systematically eviscerated civil and political institutions, creating a system that allows change to come only through his party and his allies, said political analysts here.
The Mubarak administration is blind to this weakness, however, seeing itself as strong and having the support of the majority.
"Egypt's system is not marginal or frail," Interior Minister Habib al-Adli told a Kuwaiti newspaper. "We are a big state, with an administration with popular support. The millions will decide the future of this nation, not demonstrations, even if numbered in the thousands."
Loyalists, like Mr. Said of Ahram, remain committed to a view that sees the nation's different constituencies as divided by ideology and demands, and therefore easily picked off with simple offerings like a pay raise or a Cabinet shuffle. Change, the party line goes, will come slowly, and only from the inside.
So far, there is virtually no recognition, at least publicly, that Egypt has already changed. — New York Times News Service

Five killer whales, with the help of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, have brought a lawsuit against SeaWorld in San Diego and Orlando for enduring "slave"-like conditions at the theme parks.
PETA, the controversial animal activist organization, claims that the orcas should hold the same constitutional rights as humans. Currently, to the surprise of some legal skeptics, a U.S. judge is considering the case.
"It was a landmark day in the U.S. District Court in San Diego today," a PETA press release states. "For the first time ever, a federal court is considering whether or not the 13th Amendment, which prohibits slavery, applies to five orcas — Tilikum, Katina, Kasatka, Ulises and Corky — who are now incarcerated at SeaWorld amusement parks."
Jeff Kerr, general counsel for PETA, said the decision by Judge Jeffrey Miller to consider the case is an historic event. "It's a new frontier in civil rights," Kerr said in a prepared statement. "Coercion, degradation and subjugation characterize slavery, and these orcas have endured all three."
Theodore Shaw, a lawyer for SeaWorld, told the judge that "neither orcas nor any other animal were included in the 'We the people' … when the Constitution was adopted," the BBC reports.
The judge will issue a ruling at a later date.
The lawsuit contends that the plaintiffs "were forcibly taken from their families and natural habitats, are held captive at SeaWorld San Diego and SeaWorld Orlando, denied everything that is natural to them, subjected to artificial insemination or sperm collection to breed performers for (the theme parks') shows, and forced to perform, all for defendants' profit."
PETA is seeking an injunction so the whales can be freed from SeaWorld's "bondage" and "barren concrete tanks in unnatural physical and social conditions." Tilikum and Katina are located at the theme park in Orlando, while Corky, Kasatka and Ulises are located in San Diego.
Killer whales are the largest species in the dolphin family.

United's Radamel Falcao: Colombia goals have boosted confidence
Colombia striker Radamel Falcao said he will return to Manchester United with more confidence after rediscovering his touch in front of goal during the international break.
Falcao scored a penalty in Monday's 3-1 victory over Kuwait, adding to his two goals in last week's 6-0 win over Bahrain.

After the break, Edwin Cardona put Colombia ahead with a 30-yard blast, and Falcao, who also scored twice against Bahrain last week, drew a penalty on the edge of the box before converting the final goal.

Ford Fusion Problem Report
Ford Fusion SUN ROOF DOESNT CLOSE PROPERLY
(37 reports)
There is a spring loaded deflector plate spanning the the width of the sunroof. It has nylon bands that are supposed to have enough tension to keep this mechanism out of the way when the sunroof closes. When the bands wear out, the deflector plate sits too high, causing it to get stuck between the sunroof and the seal. I can't seem to find the parts to fix this. For now, I just hold the deflector plate down with my middle finger while closing. Although it looks like the the sunroof is going to close on your finger, I've done this like a 1,000 times without injury. Has anyone had any luck repairing this? - Visitor

Sunroof will not vent and when it closes it does not seal in the back. If you hold the deflector up while closing the sunroof the glass panel will raise up and seal. Good think we figured it out yesterday as today was a huge rainstorm. Even if this is covered under my extended warranty I hate to pay $100 to get it fixed. - Visitor

My 2006 Fusion moonroof started making almost a grinding sound whenever it would close but it would always seal until well after the warranty run out. Now it stays dropped about 1/4 inch when closed unless I play with the button to get it to level out properly. When I had the dealership look at it, they said it was the "tracks" that the roof sits in. Would cost (at the time 4 years ago) $1200 and may not solve the problem. I didn't get the tracks replaced, just play with the button. But know there will come a day when it wont close at all. - Visitor
Moonroof will not close fully. It remains open about 1.5 inches. Since it will not fully close, it will not move into the vent position either. Moonroof Fuse checks out ok. Not sue what to do next. - Visitor

With all the spin, false claims, and counter-claims, elections are confusing enough. But the on-again, off-again Pennsylvania voter-ID law and the way the state has dealt with it are worse. So much confusion has been created that many voters may not show up at the polls.
This is the outrageous result of bad, partisan-stained legislation bullied through the legislature so fast the Corbett administration had little time to even think about how to implement it.
For the record: Voters do not need a state-sanctioned photo ID to vote in this election.

Last month in American Tax Compliance Rates Highest in Civilized World Despite What David Cay Johnston Says I refuted David Cay Johnston's absurd claim that America's low tax rates are the cause of it's alleged rampant tax evasion:
Johnston claims that there is "rampant evasion in the U.S." even though the very study he cites shows that there isn't rampant tax evasion in the U.S. In fact, the study shows the very opposite: That the United States' rate of compliance is the highest in the civilized world and it's underground economy as a percentage of its economy is among the smallest.
… .
The reason America has a greater absolute amount of tax losses from tax evasion than do other countries is simply because it has a much larger economy than those other countries. America's shadow economy as a percentage of its GDP is a mere 8.6%, by far the lowest of the ten countries included in the study. This, and not absolute dollars, is the important statistic in the study and one that should prompt all fair and impartial observers to assume what, even without the study, it is intuitive to assume: The lower the taxes, the greater the rate of compliance.
Now here comes Cato's Daniel Mitchell reminding us once again of what is obvious to everyone but Mr. Johnston: The higher the tax rates, the greater the non-compliance:
Leftists want higher tax rates and they want greater tax compliance. But they have a hard time understanding that those goals are inconsistent.
Simply stated, people respond to incentives. When tax rates are punitive, folks earn and report less taxable income, and vice-versa.
- When tax rates increase, sometimes they engage in tax avoidance, lowering their tax liabilities legally.
- When tax rates change, sometimes they choose to alter their levels of work, saving, and investment.
- And when tax rates go up, sometimes they resort to illegal steps to protect themselves from the tax authority.
In a previous post, I quoted an article from the International Monetary Fund, which unambiguously concluded that high tax burdens are the main reason people don't fully comply with tax regimes.
Macroeconomic and microeconomic modeling studies based on data for several countries suggest that the major driving forces behind the size and growth of the shadow economy are an increasing burden of tax and social security payments… The bigger the difference between the total cost of labor in the official economy and the after-tax earnings from work, the greater the incentive for employers and employees to avoid this difference and participate in the shadow economy. …Several studies have found strong evidence that the tax regime influences the shadow economy.
Indeed, it's worth noting that international studies find that the jurisdictions with the highest rates of tax compliance are the ones with reasonable tax systems, such as Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Singapore.
The above is an excerpt. Be sure to read the whole thing.

"Alexandria - a lovely city by the sea" Top 5 Page for this destination Alexandria by MalenaN
Alexandria Travel Guide: 672 reviews and 1,773 photos
Alexandria is a big city, the second largest in Egypt, situated by the blue Mediterranean Sea. I really liked the atmosphere; to walk along the Cornish, sit at a café, visiting museums and historical places, travelling on the slow tram and to dive to see the ruins of the lighthouse.
I stayed three nights in Alexandria and felt it was too little. There were still many things left to see and do.
The famous library from ancient time, once the biggest library in the world, is not there any more, but a new modern one has been built. Neither is the lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, standing. But if you are a diver you can dive at the site where the lighthouse is believed to have stood.

Lovely page!
No, but people around were very helpful. Someone took me to a pharmacy because I was bleeding from the head and than a shopkeeper gave me a Pepsi Cola. He said that he had seen the man bothering people, but I was the first he hit. I was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time. It can happen everywhere.

Chilled-out mice hold key to new treatments for psychological disorders
Researchers have found to block pathological aggression in mice that could lead to new treatments for variety of common psychological disorders in humans (Photo: Shutterstock)
Article Summary
"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry," the Hulk's alter ego Bruce Banner famously said. Now researchers have made a discovery that might one day have implications for anyone considering Bruce as a potential house guest. The researchers have identified a brain receptor that malfunctions in overly hostile mice - a receptor that also exists in humans - and found a way to shut it down, offering the potential for the development of treatments for severe aggression.

MADISON, Wisconsin — Even with a new chief justice, the disputes continue behind the scenes inside the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Backers of a constitutional amendment allowing the justices to decide who will be their leader argued it would lead to more harmony on the Supreme Court. But emails released Friday show the tenure of new Chief Justice Patience Roggensack is off to a rocky start.
Four conservative justices voted to make Roggensack chief justice last month, removing liberal Justice Shirley Abrahamson from the post she held for 15 years. Abrahamson has a pending federal lawsuit arguing that she can't be removed until her term ends in four years.
Justice Patrick Crooks, viewed as a swing vote on the seven-member court, did not vote for Roggensack as chief justice. And emails provided Friday to The Associated Press show Crooks objected to moves Roggensack made earlier this week.
Crooks sent Roggensack an email Sunday in response to a message she sent May 16 notifying all the justices of a closed conference the following day to vote on cases that had been argued in April.
She gave Crooks, Abrahamson and fellow liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley a deadline of 12:30 p.m. Monday to submit their votes if they did not plan to attend. If no vote was received, Roggensack said the opinions will show they withdrew from the case.
Crooks objected, saying that calling a closed conference was a violation of court rules because it was not on the calendar and all seven justices had not agreed to do it.
Crooks said if he didn't cast his vote by the deadline Roggensack set, "you have unilaterally decided, without any authority, to exclude me from participation in those cases."
"Such action by you is without precedent," Crooks wrote. "Obviously I object. If you take such action, I intend to notify the attorneys for the parties in each case of your unauthorized action, and that I did not withdraw from participation."
Roggensack followed up with another email urging all the justices to attend the closed conference, and extended the deadline by another day for any justice unable to attend.
Roggensack issued a statement Friday after the release of the emails saying all seven justices cast votes for the cases in question and they have all been assigned for writing.
"In order for Supreme Court justices to write and the court to mandate opinions on which oral argument has been held, justices needed to cast their votes and cases needed to be assigned for writing," Roggensack said in the statement.
The emails were provided by Abrahamson at AP's request.
The behind the scenes email spat came in the days leading up to a Monday swearing-in ceremony in the court for recent graduates from Marquette University Law School. It marked the first public appearance with Roggensack as chief justice. Crooks, Abrahamson and Bradley all were absent.
They have not given a reason for their absence and the emails provided by Abrahamson do not show why they were not there.
Voters approved the amendment giving justices the power to select who serves as chief justice on April 7. Supporters in the Legislature had argued such a move would empower the court to move beyond ideological and personal disputes in recent years.

Explosion shortly before arrival of ousted Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary
ISLAMABAD: An apparent suicide bombing at the district courts complex in the Pakistan capital on Tuesday night killed at least 12 persons and left at least 35 injured, shortly before ousted Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary was to arrive there to address lawyers of the Islamabad Bar Association.
Mr. Chaudhary accompanied by a massive motorcade of supporters, was still en route to the venue and moving at snail's pace when the explosion took place at about 8.30 pm.
Hundreds of lawyers and activists of opposition parties were at the venue waiting for the Chief Justice to arrive, when a massive explosion shattered the festive mood at the event. "We were raising slogans when we heard a huge explosion. Then people started screaming and running out," said one lawyer who was present at the venue.
Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said at least 12 persons were killed in the explosion and 35 were injured. "It was apparently a suicide bombing," Mr. Sherpao told local television.
Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema said 10 persons died, and that the death toll was likely to rise.
Eyewitnesses said the explosion took place close to a reception tent of the Pakistan People's Party. Many of the dead are feared to be PPP activists. Immediately after the incident, Islamabad police stopped the Chief Justice's motorcade close to the Supreme Court. The procession then moved into the Supreme Court but Mr. Chaudhary proceeded to the venue later.
There were reports that Mr. Chaudhary planned to visit the injured in hospital.
The country has been on high alert since the Lal Masjid operation last week. The Interior Ministry spokesman said "there could be a linkage" between this incident and "the security situation in our north." Nearly 100 people have been killed in suicide bombings in the last two weeks in the north-west frontier area.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Hours after Joe Thatcher had discussed how unusual it was for him to go 11 days without getting in a game, he finally got into one.
And probably wished he hadn't.
Thatcher sprained his left ankle on the third batter he faced Saturday night, an injury that will send him to the disabled list. Thatcher, who was on crutches in the clubhouse after the game, said he's hoping to get back by the end of August.
"Bad things happen in this game," Thatcher said. "You just deal with them and go on. Just focus on rehab and get back as soon as possible."
Thatcher, acquired in early July to fill the left-handed relief void, had been stuck in the bullpen for more than a week. He said before Saturday's game that he was healthy, and Manager Mike Scioscia said the situations just hadn't worked to get him in a game. Scioscia said he was hoping to find a spot for him.
That opportunity came – although not the way the Angels wanted – when he entered in the fourth inning of a game the Angels trailed 6-3.
Thatcher retired the first hitter he faced, but then gave up a single. Brandon Guyer then bunted toward third base, and Thatcher's cleat got stuck in the artificial turf as he tried to field the ball, which went for a single.
"I heard a pop," Thatcher said. "I knew right away it was not good. Not being broken is a blessing for sure."
Even though the Angels had not been using Thatcher much, he certainly could have had a more prominent role in the coming weeks.
In the next two weeks, the Angels will see slugging lefties Adrian Gonzalez (four games), David Ortiz (seven) and Ryan Howard (two). At the end of the month, the Angels play seven games against the first-place A's, who have lefty Brandon Moss in the middle of their order.
Tyler Skaggs said the Rays team doctor examined his elbow and his MRI on Saturday and confirmed the earlier diagnosis, that he had a strained flexor tendon.
Skaggs said he was told to take a week or two off from throwing, and he could be back in about four weeks.
"It was good news," Skaggs said. "I'm happy about it."
Skaggs will still be evaluated by one of the Angels doctors when the team gets home in a few days.

On May 13th, AMI held part l of its first Money Management Training series at the iHub. I went in a bit speculative. You see, finance-speak has always been an obstacle to navigate for me. It's been that unit that I couldn't get away from in campus and that hound I can't seem to shake off even now. And that is exactly why the AMI training was a breath of fresh air.
"It was very helpful and supportive. I would definitely be interested in participating in another training"I went in expecting to come out with the usual muddle of financial statements and terms but I was pleasantly surprised. The facilitators went through the content in a very easy and engaging manner. The power-points were excellent and very professionally done. It was an all around great experience.
"If this is how my professors at University taught financial accounting, I probably would have learned so much more"The next training will be held on June 30th, at the iHub. You ask, who should be part of this training? The African Management Initiative has developed a curriculum that is specially tailored for those who don't have a finance background but want to have a strong grasp on the finances of their businesses and the financial decisions made. This training is not limited to start-ups. Individuals who feel that their finances need some semblance of order are invited to join in.
You should attend this training if you're interested in
- Taking your business to the next level
- Learning how to manage money in your business and see the results on the bottom line
- Gaining new skills to gain the respect of your employers and colleagues
- Get a certificate from one of Africa's top business schools (including SBS)
Join us onJune 30th at the iHub, 4th floor, Bishop Magua Centre. Sign up here if you'd like to be part of this training
