I'll just put in here that I think part of the reason for the increasing resistance is that the political system has not been particularly responsive to democratic channels. See, e.g., http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=9354310 (the study which generated various "The US is no longer a democracy"-type headlines).

I probably am among the most partisan people in this thread, although I think some of the knee-jerk defenders of the military are equally partisan (and part, if not all, of the point of the rhetoric is to not let them get away with attempting to make themselves come off as non-partisan).

He owes the AD his public silence on issues that will piss off portions of the student body. That kind of PR control is part of being a head coach of a major program. You might think it's a good PR move to piss off Muslim students just on, like, utilitarian grounds. I don't really think that's a game JH should be playing, but I don't mind if you want to disagree about that.

It was a joke. The point of the joke is that there is a real thing these students were upset about, whether or not you think their ire was appropriately directed.

I don't disagree. But campuses are full of people whose jobs are precisely to press this issue. The football coach's job is to help create adequate opportunities for escapist communal celebration.

There are no non-monstrous, non-victimized Muslims in that movie, and the actual Chris Kyle, by all accounts, had absolutely no problem taking other lives (and, like, also bragged about murdering Americans in New Orleans when he got drunk).

Hundreds of thousands of Muslim deaths in the wrong country and it's just, like, my right to force people to become Evangelical Christians and hate gays and brown people and other degenerates is under constant attack in this country and these bitches be whining about nothing.
How about we recognize that JH is a football coach and, insofar as he wants to (mis)use his platform to make political pronouncements, it's his responsibility to answer to Michigan students who are upset about those pronouncements?

|Internal motivation comes eventually
My parents paid me to get good grades. $35-50 in my college fund for any kind of A on a report card (the amount went up over the years) with a $10 bonus in my pocket for an A+. I brought home 7 A+ grades on each report card for most of high school to get the money.
I can't remember if they kept paying me in college but anyway I have 4 degrees now (3 from Michigan) so I guess it worked. IDK how I would have reacted if something was hard in high school though. I guess I took some math classes at Michigan where I needed help, but they were hard for everybody, so we just worked on the homework in groups. Maybe a study group of friends would help your kid, if you can organize one? Provide snacks and you could probably do it.

That's more teams than I thought you were going to come back with.
I'm not sure the new teams are much more than a coincidence, though. Are those names departures from what teams in the cities were previously called when they'd existed before? Not in the case of New Orleans (Saints, Zephyrs) or Houston (Oilers, Rockets) at least, and I doubt if the others are any different. (Also, Washington DC doesn't count, since it's not in a state.)
Incidentally, didn't the California Angels start changing their name like 20 years ago? I feel like I was a kid.

Insight into the academic side of the U has actually made me feel more distant from it. When I was going on the job market, I was told I couldn't use Michigan letterhead, because that was only for faculty who had earned the right to use it. The person who told me this was a professor who had been at Michigan for 5 or so years, and to whom the U was first and foremost an employer who was paying him a relatively large amount of money in exchange for teaching 1-2 classes per semester, whereas I was in the midst of my 10th year as a Michigan student of one form or another.

|i might be like that lady
So I don't get called a fake fan, some credentials up front: my parents went to and met at Michigan; I went to at least one football game every year from at least the time I was 6 until now with the exception of 3 years (1997 [FUCK], 2008, 2009) when I was out of the country; I've had season tickets for Michigan football on my own or through my parents since at least 2002; I had season tickets to Michigan hockey for 2 years during undergrad; my family has had basketball season tickets for the past few years; I have 3 Michigan degrees; my first son, who is now 2, was born at the U hospital and has attended 4 or 5 football and basketball games already (it would be more but we don't live in A2 anymore); and there is an athletic scholarship with my parents' names on it.
I am not currently convinced that Michigan Athletics will regain what made it special in the past. DB did an incredible amount of damage, and it's unclear whether Hackett will reverse all of it. I think the treatment of RR and Bacon, for example, was unbecoming of a great institution. (Bacon's forthcoming book will be super interesting with respect to what DB did to the AD.)
Time will tell, though.

I started paying attention to how often I get something free or for less than I should be charged after I read something that suggested it wasn't happening just because of my obviously winning personality. It happens roughly once a week, and at random places from people I basically don't know. Usually nothing big, but often I'll spend 4 or 5 hours drinking coffee and writing at a diner and they'll just wave me away when I approach the counter to pay. I never know any of the people in advance, although I am a regular at some of these places, and there is the occasional waiter who will come over to my table and shake my hand and ask what's up.

|Congratulations on going to exclusively shitty Chinese places
Ann Arbor has had some incredible authentic Chinese restaurants over the years. Middle Kingdom--which Brian once dismissed as crappy Americanized Chinese food--had a fantastic selection (whole fish! jelly fish and sea cucumber! fucking duck tongues for fuck's sake!) if you knew to ask for the Chinese menu. Great Lakes on Carpenter was also great, and had dim sum in addition to a variety of regular offerings. The most authentic remaining place is Chia Shiang on Packard, though I think they do mostly Szechuan which I'm not super into.
I also have a vague recollection of getting some reasonably decent authentic Chinese food at TK Wu but I think most of the menu is the Americanized stuff.

|we're really pushing it here...
I guess I'll bite since there's an easy answer.
Because young earth creationism has as much to do with biology as bizarre conspiracy theories have to do with history. Imagine an astronomy department that is required to teach you about the planet Vulcan or a chemistry department that has to teach the caloric theory of heat. There'd be something wrong with a university that housed such departments, because they'd be misleading students about the body of facts established in those sciences and about the theories scientists working in those fields use to explain them. But Liberty's Department of Biology is doing something even worse than teaching outdated and discredited theories. It's teaching a theory that has never been found credible by any community of biologists for purely doctrinal purposes. Since no institution that operates with the express purpose of indoctrinating students can be a real university, Liberty is a fake one. Simple as that.

Liberty is the one that nearly lost its tax-exempt status for banning a student group associated with a major political party from reserving campus spaces, etc., and that requires its biology department to teach young earth creationism.

You might get crap from an asshole every once in a while, but I don't think it would be too weird. You'll have to be cognizant of the fact that you might make some of them uncomfortable: even if you aren't actively being creepy, they'll feel like somebody's parent is nearby, and that's fair enough. But you should also be able to make friends with at least some of the people around you (e.g., nerdy types who are actually watching the game will be much friendlier to you than drunk Greek system people). If you read this blog, you are liable to know more about the team than most of the people around you, and sometimes I made friends by being able to answer people's questions about what had happened or who a player was when I overheard them.
The real problem will be that it's a little bit obnoxious to sit in the student section on a regular basis once you're an adult. If you end up near freshman because of however they decide the pecking order for seating now, you might have to dodge puke occasionally. You'll have to stand on top of somewhat narrow and unsteady bleachers all game and your knees might not like it after a few games or even a few hours. You'll sometimes run into people trying to cram too many bodies into too few seats and then you'll be uncomfortable all game because of teenagers with no respect for anybody else. Etc.
Basis for comment: I finished my final Michigan degree at 30, so I sat in the student section well into my late 20s. The last couple of years I stopped sitting there, and I didn't even buy student season tickets my last year, because they won't do spousal tickets and I wanted to sit with my wife (and my family's tickets are on the 44, so yeah).

3. Only conference where the cities of two schools have the same name (as an example -- Maintown NY and Maintown CA)
[False thing I thought when I mixed up Columbia and Columbus:] Would be the B1G if Missouri had joined us. I'm guessing there's another Columb[ia] out there in the SEC. (SCar?) [I feel like it's impressive I got this right given that I thought Missouri was in a town called Columbus.]
4. Only conference where two schools and their cities each have the same names as each other (as an example -- Smith University in Smith, NY)
I suspect Richmond has this property but they aren't P5. Same story for Toledo (which I'm more confident about). If you counted Berkeley, you'd also count UCLA, but I'm guessing neither count. IDK what conference Boise is in but the "State" bit should break it. Is Boston University P5? I finally just realized that Auburn has this property. And so does Miami. Boom. SEC. [Edit: Errr...ACC. I know things about things, I promise.]
5. What other conference has one school with the same name as its city
I think I've got 4 and 6 figured out as SEC and B1G so that leaves the ACC (AAC? IDK), B12, and PAC 12 (or whatever their number is now). Boston College might be in the ACC, so I'll go with that. [Obviously SEC when you fix 4.]
6. What other conference has one school with the same name as its city, except that the city has the word "City" appended to it (as an example – Smith University and Smith City, NY)
Is Iowa in Iowa City? I think so.
7. What conference has the most number of cities with 2 words in each city name (example of a city name with two words: "Main City"), and how many are there in that conference.
B1G has at least Ann Arbor, Champaign-Urbana, East Lansing, West Lafayette, Happy Valley (I'm not sure that's the actual city name, but for some reason I think the real name has two words, too [hooray it's State College]), Iowa City, and New Brunswick (I think). So I'm going with the B1G with 7. [College Park makes 8.]
8. What city has 3 words in its name
Minneapolis-St. Paul? This makes me worry about my answer to 1, but I think you wouldn't count it as one city. [Salt Lake City it is.]
9. What conference with 3 city names that are traditionally first names of males
I guess you could count Lincoln, but I don't know if we have two more. (There should be a question about president's names with Lincoln and Madison in the B1G...) [I guess I just gave up on this one.]
10. Of all 64 P5 cities, which city's name is first alphabetically: Hint: It's not Ann Arbor.
I have no idea, but I'm getting bored so I will just observe that Anchorage comes before Ann Arbor and give up. [Bzzt.]
11. Of all 64 P5 cities, which city's name is last alphabetically
West Lafayette would be too easy, but again, I'm bored now. [Bzzt.]

That'd be a good deterrent for the future, and also potentially really funny if other teams do it right. Can you imagine the Pats having to play with 6 highly inflated scuff-free balls and 6 underinflated superscuffed balls with the refs switching between them randomly all the time? Good luck with that.

--RHP Jeremy Guthrie got little run support -- again. And lost -- again. The Orioles ace went eight solid innings Friday in Baltimore's 3-0 loss at Tampa Bay, falling to 1-6. Guthrie was touched for a pair of home runs, a solo blast from Johnny Damon and a two-run shot by Matt Joyce. Guthrie walked two and threw first-pitch strikes to only 16 of the 31 batters he faced, helping to elevate his pitch count.
--RHP Justin Duchscherer threw two innings in an extended spring training game Friday and is set to throw three innings in five or six days. He threw 23 of 26 pitches for strikes. Duchscherer began the season on the disabled list due to a sore left hip, but he subsequently was slowed by back pain.
--DH Vladimir Guerrero rested for just the second time in 37 games this season. Guerrero got the night off, providing OF Felix Pie another shot at the lineup. Pie started in left, and OF/DH Luke Scott served as designated hitter. Both went 0-for-3.
--C Matt Wieters will get Saturday off, the Baltimore Sun reported. Wieters was 1-for-3 Friday and is 8-for-22 in the last five games. Days off have been seldom for Wieters, who is likely to give way to C/INF Jake Fox.
--3B Mark Reynolds batted ninth Friday as the Orioles try to allow him to hit his way out of a season-long slump. Reynolds, notorious for his high strikeout totals, has gotten on base at times, but his average is .178, and his power numbers have come nowhere near the levels the Orioles expected. He has the benefit of having a pretty strong grip on the starting job. Reynolds went 1-for-3 in the loss at Tampa Bay.
0 -- Extra-base hits Thursday in Baltimore's 2-1, 12-inning win over Seattle. The last time an extra-inning game ended with no extra-base hits was a 10-inning win by San Francisco against Pittsburgh in July 2009.
"We've got to figure it out. Just because we're facing good pitching -- that's why they call it the major leagues. You've got to figure it out" -- Manager Buck Showalter, to MASN, on the Orioles' offensive woes.

After Michigan loss, Notre Dame not taking Purdue lightly
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- It's been 23 months since Notre Dame had to rebound a week after a loss.
Between losing to USC on Oct. 22, 2011 and Michigan last Saturday, Notre Dame's three losses either came at the end of the regular season (vs. Stanford in 2011) or in bowl games (Florida State and Alabama).
"Dinner doesn't taste good. Meetings are a lot harder. Practice is probably a little bit more spirited," coach Brian Kelly said. "But you know, it still comes down to the attention to detail. We've got to be smarter and more disciplined as a football team and that's what I'll be looking for this week."
[MORE: For Carlisle, Notre Dame-Purdue a family affair]
It's worth noting that, two years ago, Notre Dame unleashed its wrath on Navy after falling to USC, routing the Midshipmen 56-14. That wasn't a good Navy team -- they went 5-7 -- and the same can, right now, be said for Notre Dame's opponent this weekend.
Purdue began its first season under coach Danny Hazell with a 42-7 blowout loss to Cincinnati, a team which turned around and got blown out by an Illinois squad that went 2-10 in 2012. In Week 2, Purdue barely squeaked by FCS-side Indiana State, 20-14. That's the same Indiana State team that allowed 73 points to Indiana in Week 1.
[RELATED: Niklas aiming to live up to ND's TE lineage]
"At the end of the day, every team shows up to play us," cornerback Bennett Jackson said. "You can't take anyone lightly."
That Notre Dame players and coaches have to say that line, though, probably is telling. During his Tuesday press conference, Kelly begged the assembled media to ask him about Purdue.
[MORE: Amid the hype, Nix embracing his role]
The Boilermakers aren't completely bereft of talent -- cornerback Ricardo Allen is one of the better defensive backs in the Big Ten, for example -- but it's a group that hasn't shown many positives through two weeks. Making matters worse, its leading pass-catcher, tight end Gabe Holmes (nine receptions, 69 yards), will miss Saturday's game.
"Purdue's going to be ready for Notre Dame," Kelly reiterated. "We have no doubt about that and we respect our opponent.
"But, look, we've got to put blinders on and we've got to focus on ourselves. We're not a finished product. We've got some work to do."
Perhaps the most important thing Notre Dame can do is to generate some momentum in West Lafayette. Just about every sign points to the Irish winning easily, and while Kelly invoked last year's matchup against Purdue, the circumstances on Saturday are far different (for one, Tommy Rees isn't starting his first home game).
[MORE: Through two games, red zone offense still a problem for Notre Dame]
Notre Dame has a few tests coming up -- Michigan State and Oklahoma have shown to be stout defensive teams so far, and we'll know more about Arizona State after its matchup with Wisconsin this weekend -- but there's a very real possibility the Irish don't face a Top 20 opponent until the last week of the season.
Even with a loss to Michigan, Notre Dame's path to a BCS bowl is fairly clear. There's just less room for error.

5.0 out of 5 stars Summer Cooking but useful all the year.....,
This review is from: Summer Cooking (Penguin Cookery Library) (Paperback)
..'Roasted Cheese' & 'Baked Cheese Sandwiches' are my favourites at any time!
From the back cover:
'First published in 1955 Summer Cooking is a selection of dishes for table, buffet and picnic that are light, easy to prepare and based on seasonal ingredients.
Elizabeth David shows how an imaginative use of herbs can enhance even the simplest meals, whether egg, fish or meat, while her recipes range from a simple salade Ni�oise to strawberry soufflé......'
And from the lady herself:
"By Summer Cooking, I do not necessarily mean cold food; although cold dishes are always agreeable in summer, at most meals, however hot the weather, one hot dish is welcome, but it should be a light one, such as a very simply cooked sole, an omelette, a soup of the young vegetable which is in season - something fresh which provides at the same time a change, a new outlook......."
The book opens with a useful guide to keeping and using fresh herbs.
Then follow the simply titled chapters:
* Hord d'oeuvre & Salads
* Soups
* Eggs
* Fish
* Meat
* Poultry & Game
* Vegetables
* Sauces
* Sweets
* Jams, Jellies and Other Preserves
* Buffet Food
* Improvised Cooking for Holidays & Weekends
* Picnics
along with 'Conversion Tables', and a full index.
Overall, 234 pages full of information and recipes, broken up with just the chapter opening black and white illustration.
Recipes are often more than one to a page and carry over on to a second.
A small taste of the other recipes contained within:
* Pan Bagna
* Smoked Turkey Salad
* Chicken Liver P�té
* Terrine of Rabbit
* Salad of Ridge Cucumbers
* Aubergine Purée
* Broad Bean Soup
* Sorrel and Tomato Soup

* Pig's Head in Jelly
* Ox Tongue with Purée of Peas
* Spiced Grilled Chicken

I have been signing our clients on to voice mail through TCCVM since its first day in 1994. To this day it is a simple and essential service that connects them with vital services, job and housing leads, and supportive community. That bit of 'normalcy' provided by a phone number of their own is invaluable.

canvgc is a server-side tool for compiling SVG to html5 CanvasRenderingContext2D commands.
Produces a JS file which can be included client side - and when combined with the painter - can reproduce the svg on any canvas rendering context.
Uses Canvg to translate the SVG to canvas commands, and a custom shim based from jsCaptureCanvas to convert into a single set of commands.
Current browsers have issues with SVG support on canvas.
Both IE & Firefox will only raster the SVG once (so scale/transform will be applied to the raster, not the vectors), and Webkit SVG performance has been steadily dropping.

Confessions of a Pro-Life Atheist - Origins of Consensus
It can be said without argument that all who are against abortion have at least one thing in common. Be that as it may, the process in which we come to that conclusion is oftentimes a result of many different factors, thus our beliefs, while similar in principle, can be quite different in theory.
Dozens of people have asked me why I am pro-life.
In the past it didn't seem like such a hard question to answer. After all, if I have the ability to form a belief then surely my answer to such a question should come without forethought. However, I have never been asked by a pro-life Christian to clarify my position as a pro-life Atheist. Admittedly, the question has become a bit more difficult to answer because of the unnecessary adaptation. It was my presumption that this was not a confusing concept, but once I began to compile my thoughts I soon realized where confusion could emerge. The purpose of this article is to clear up some of the misconceptions about pro-life non-believers by providing a general comparison between Theism and Atheism in relation to the abortion issue and contributing a personal account of my own journey to the pro-life movement. An argument from morality has been purposely omitted.
To state the obvious, the only difference between my label as a pro-life Atheist and your label as a pro-life Christian is our outlook on the existence of a deity. Similarly, the difference between a pro-life Jew and a pro-life Muslim is once again rooted in religious differences. That being said, we can easily deduct that an anti-abortion position is not dependent upon adhering to a specific religion; thankfully. For example, one can be religious without ever taking a position on the abortion issue. Likewise, one can be pro-life without being religious. Because the two labels are independent from one another, it is not hard to imagine the diversity of personal convictions within the pro-life community. This may become a confusing concept to those who base their pro-life position on the belief that they could not differentiate between right and wrong without guidance from their respective deity. This is where I believe some confusion and hesitation may occur.
The Christian religion, for the most part, has adopted a position on the abortion issue. Churches which have chosen to take a position on the issue have subsequently suggested that its followers do the same. To the contrary, Atheism asserts one thing and one thing only. That assertion makes no mention to the the issue of abortion or any other social issue for that matter and therefore does not require that Atheists accept any more or any less. An Atheist's position on any other topic is simply a personal opinion.
Personally, my pro-life beliefs belong to the discoveries in science. While I am sympathetic to women's rights and would even consider myself a Feminist as would any man who believes in gender equality, the right to life outweighs our personal discomforts. I will hesitantly concede that had I been born 10 years earlier I most likely would have considered myself pro-choice based upon the absence of scientific evidence within the pro-life movement at the time. More so, if science had proven that life began at birth I would have had no foundation for an anti-abortion belief. Thankfully for the pro-life movement, science has reemphasized the movement's argument that abortion takes the life of an unborn child. Today, the movement has realized that science is much more likely to reach an audience which is increasingly looking for demonstrable evidence from which to base their position on social issues; not just the church's suggestion.
It's worth mentioning that the internet also had a substantial effect by allowing me to better research fetal development and share information and ideas with others. When I began exploring the issue as a seventeen year old back in 2006, the internet allowed me to see the larger picture, unlike the tri-fold pamphlet provided by my Catholic church. The pamphlet provided me with no context or arguments from the opposition. Heck, I didn't even know there was an opposition.
I am not sure why the issue ever captured my attention, but it evolved beyond into a passion. After a couple years of researching the issue I decided that I would adopt an anti-abortion position based on the scientifically accepted conclusion that conception was the formation of a unique and living member of the human species. This was done absent of religious arguments and by 2008 I was beginning to question a different position - Theism. That year I wrote a pro-life blog which turned out to become the catalyst for my pro-life activism. The MySpace blog [insert joke here] titled The American Holocaust, was my first attempt at arguing against abortion from a secular perspective. The amateurishly written blog received hundreds of comments and at times was the third most active blog on MySpace. At that moment I was convinced that the incorporation of religion was unnecessary to make a point against abortion and instead allowed readers to view the issue as a scientific and moral obligation rather than just a Catholic issue. The internet had allowed me to understand the various ways the issue affected people, something I would have never understood within the walls of the Catholic church.
I am currently concluding the final chapters of God is Not Great by the late Atheist, Christopher Hitchens; a post-abortive father himself. Hitchens, a hero to many non-believers, also noticed the reality of the unborn human life. I would imagine it took a great deal of courage to advocate the value of the unborn human despite the overwhelming number of supporters whom he knew would quickly voice their disapproval. For unfortunate yet obvious reasons, theists were just as reluctant to commend him. Undoubtedly, Hitchens has taught many non-believers and believers to rethink their position on the issue for purely scientific reasons. Like myself and the thousands of other pro-life secularists, Hitchens recognized that science had demonstrably proven that life does exist before viability and therefore deserved proper acknowledgement from the pro-choice side.
"As a materialist, I think it has been demonstrated that an embryo is a separate body and entity, and not merely (as some really did used to argue) a growth on or in the female body. There used to be feminists who would say that it was more like an appendix or even—this was seriously maintained—a tumor. That nonsense seems to have stopped. Of the considerations that have stopped it, one is the fascinating and moving view provided by the sonogram, and another is the survival of premature babies of feather-like weight, who have achieved viability outside the womb. The words 'unborn child,' even when used in a politicized manner, describe a material reality." —Christopher Hitchens, God is Not Great (pp. 220-21)
It seems to me that the confusion many people have when I tell them I am a pro-life Atheist happens to originate from their perception that Atheism and pro-life activism are incompatible. This is a half-century old product of religion's disproportionate obsession with the issue and the subsequent and illogical 'We want to be everything you're not!' attitude of Atheists. The middle ground, a pro-life Atheist (or a pro-choice theist), doesn't seem to suit either side. I think it is fair to call us the step-child of the pro-life movement. Arguing against abortion goes beyond the policies or teachings of any religious text. It is not an issue restricted only to the religious but rather an issue concerning human rights and therefore defies the labels of religion, political affiliation, race, gender, sexual orientation, and so on. If we can agree that abortion wrongfully takes the life of a living human being, then all other labels which define our individuality should be irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Finally, the real story about corporate America with its increased reliance on consultants. Since the 1990s, consulting solutions have become the de facto standard for solving business problems and providing cover for corporate decision makers. This is not the typical CEO whitewash, or business management primer. Steve Romaine offers a view never before shared with management or stockholders as he takes a hired gun's journey beginning at the outside looking in, and ending at the pinnacle of a corporation's power.Based on his experience of working for IBM, his later role as a self-employed consultant, and finally his responsibilities as senior vice president for NationsBank, Romaine makes it clear that the issues leading to the collapse of Enron were not isolated events. Soldier of Fortune 500 explores corporate cronyism between executives and their consultants, and builds a convincing case of how, without the proper safeguards, such cozy relationships can lead to pervasive problems, placing stockholders, employees, and the future viability of the American corporation at risk.This book is a must read for corporate managers, employees, and anyone involved with the consulting business.
