Curiosity marks two years on Mars
By David Szondy - August 5, 2014 7 Pictures
Break out the party hats – NASA's Curiosity rover is celebrating its second anniversary on Mars. On August 5, 2012 at 10:31 pm PDT (August 6, 05:31 GMT), the unmanned spacecraft touched down at Bradbury Landing in Gale Crater on the start of a multi-year mission to seek out areas where life could or may once have existed, and is now preparing to carry on for a third year.

Ok, so I'm sure all of you know what S.O.P.A. Is, if not, go Google it. It basically prevents all and any copy written material being posted somewhere without the permission of the OP. This is meant to prevent movies, songs, pictures and anything being replicated and sold or given out for free, and instead all of them will have to be purchased from licensed proprietors who will pay royalties to the artist, or Company. BUT. I propose an idea… and this would be to create Our own website, something that the internet OWNS. But technically belongs to one person. This person will have been selected to keep "guard" of all of our memes, movies songs and etc… and they will allow the use of these to everyone else who wants to use them... It's just an idea, but with the help of the internet it would be a viable option if SOPA passes. Posting here, because more people will see this.

Not good. Not good at all. Today's volume is interesting, someone should look into that. Wish I knew about this before the close. Do we hit the $1.00 mark on Monday?http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/19/us-alaska-mine-idUSBRE84I00620120519
This is exactly the type of news Rio was waiting for to increase their stake at a rock bottom price. Anyone who sells now is a fool!
Meanwhile, institutions are liquidating all risk assets. 30-year mortgage rates reached all-time lows on Friday. The USD Index shot past the 50-day and 200-day MA like it was nothing. The EPA threatening to enforce the Clean Water Act on any mine is practically a death sentence.Besides me, the bigger fool is probably Cynthia Carroll who will likely lose her job over this disaster.Plus, get this, 2,800 media outlets ran the EPA story in the last 48 hours. I think I'm going to vomit.
susan, what did you expect the epa to say? that everything will be ok? here is some unasked for advice, dont invest in mining companies if youre afraid of the epa and their conclusions. pebble will eventually receive approval.
"Wish I knew about this before the close."Even Stevie Wonder could see this news coming. Maybe you should thank freaktron and his friends for blocking the truth. There will NEVER be mine at pebble.

Roman Stripe
By: Nuts About Needlepoint
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Expand your needlepoint repertoire with the Roman Stripe pattern from Nuts About Needlepoint! This is a great stitch to know - you'll love the amazing projects you can complete!
- Floss
- Stash
- The design is stitched entirely in floss.
- Solid colors are best for this project, but very subtle hand-dyes, such as The Gentle Arts will also work.
- The design is very small on 18 mesh (1.25″ x 2.25″), so you might want to enlarge the design by substituting Scotch Stitches for the Tent Stitches and adding a wide border.
- Begin by picking your large triangle color. It can be black or another dark color. You will also need five colors for the stripes.

The Cineo Lighting LS Lamphead and Yoke (No Cable, No Panels) provides all of the benefits of Remote Phosphor Technology (RPT) found in the TruColor HS in a small, lightweight package. It delivers an unprecedented volume of soft light optimized for image capture, as well as other applications that demand accurate color rendering. TruColor LS delivers an extended CRI over 95, generates a 160-degree beam spread and uses less than 170 watts of AC power.
Remote Phosphor Technology (RPT) eliminates the color-accuracy limitations inherent in LED fixtures. Instead of relying on LEDs as the source of illumination, TruColor LS' independent phosphor panels emit high-quality light when excited by the high-frequency wavelengths from blue LEDs.
The interchangeable phosphor panels allow you to achieve a variety of color temperatures with a single fixture. The CCT of the TruColor LS is extremely consistent fixture to fixture and will not change over time like other lighting technologies.

El Guincho
Piratas de Sudamerica
(Young Turks)
US: Import
UK: 12 Jul 2010
El Guincho released Alegranza in 2007, garnering many comparisons to Panda Bear's Person Pitch, also released that year. Now he returns with an EP of South American covers, titled Piratas de Sudamerica. The dense, lo-fi production remains as with previous efforts but his foray into covers now means a more-defined sense of structure on songs originally recorded by Miguel Matamoros and Felix B. Caignet, among others.
The record was recorded by El Guincho (real name: Pablo Díaz-Reixa) in his Barcelona apartment, paying deep homage to the salsa cuts he had grown up listening to with his dad. Piratas de Sudamerica is the first of a series of EPs which will be released on limited edition 12" vinyl concurrently with his main albums. This first EP can currently be listened to in full on Soundcloud.
El Guincho's second album Pop Negro will be released in the Autumn.

Planting Australian Plants in Your Garden
Some of these specimens from Down Under could have great potential for American gardens.
With climates ranging from rain forests to barren deserts, Australia is loaded with some of the world's most interesting botanical specimens - impressive when you consider that Australia is also one of the hottest, driest continents. In Santa Cruz, Calif., scientists are studying the potential Australian plants have in American gardens.
"The climate of California is a nice match for the Mediterranean conditions of Australia," says Melinda Johnson, who oversees the Australian plant collection for the arboretum at the University of California-Santa Cruz. "These plants grow great in areas without harsh winters or lack of snow. And where soils or climates aren't as conducive to growing them, many can be grown in containers."
In fact, the arboretum is working with Aussie growers to bring these beautiful plants to more American gardens. One thing they can't bring stateside are the same pollinators. That doesn't hinder nature though.
"The hummingbirds love a lot of the flowers here, like Grevillea and eucalyptus flowers. They're really drawn to that nectar and the bright colors. In Australia, it would be a different group of birds - the honeyeater - that come to the flowers."
A few Australian plants have some interesting ways of making sure their pollen is spread. With the trigger flower (Stylidium), a bee lands on the two bottom petals of the flower. The anthers are released and hit the bee on the head. The bee gets dusted with pollen and flies off to another flower, carrying the pollen with it.
Grevilleas are valued for their diversity of blooms, colors, textures and forms. "Grevilleas are part of the Protea family, named after the Greek god Protea because he could change into so many different forms." Check out this selection called 'Mason's Hybrid.'
The callistemon from Guyra, New South Wales, is called candy pink. When it's in bloom, it has brushy pink flowers, like the bottle-brush flowers on the callistemons growing along the California freeways.
Once it has finished flowering, it produces these unique seed pods.
The seed pod for Banksia ericifolia begins as a wildly captivating flower.
Propagating Banksia Seed
Banksia seeds begin in well-protected capsules, which need the right conditions to open. In Australia, those conditions are met by the advent of brushfires.
Johnson demonstrates how to propagate one safely in the U.S., using a cone from a banksia plant. "Since we don't have brushfires coming through the arboretum, we create our own brushfires."
Over a propane fire, Johnson roasts the seed head. The fibers around the seed provide the kindling to get the fire going. Once heated, the seed follicle begins to swell and open. It takes about five to 10 minutes for it to open wide enough to get the seeds out. Once it looks like it has opened enough, Johnson mimics the rain after the forest fire by dunking the heated seedpod in a bucket of water. Let it soak overnight. The next day, take a pair of tweezers and tug the seed out of its capsule. There's one more layer of protection, the seed separator. Pull that away and you have the seed itself. Plant the seed in potting media, and in about two years you'll have a plant ready for planting in the garden.
One more note about Aussie plants grown here in the States: They don't need heaps of fertilizer. That's because much of their native soil is sandy and not very high in nutrients in the first place.
Although Australian plants can't be grown in every garden in the U.S., at least you get the idea of the variety of plants this continent has to offer.

Tim Tebow Jerseys Still Selling for Full Price Four Days After Quarterback Released By Patriots (Photos)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 9/4/13
Tim Tebow is not currently on an NFL roster, but that doesn't mean sporting goods retailers have to give him up as a cash cow. Four days after Tebow was released by the New England Patriots, his No. 5 jersey was selling for full price ($100) at several online retailers. One of the few websites that seemed to be offering a discount on the now-obsolete jerseys was NFL.com, which listed the jerseys at a markdown of more than 40 percent. ESPN's Keith Olbermann called out his own network for its excessive coverage of Tebowmania on his show, pointing out how much revenue the NFL and the Patriots would have generated from even the most modest sales of Tebow's popular jersey. It appears some stores are trying to squeeze every possible drop from Tebow's dwindling army of fans. Here's a Tebow jersey for sale at Patriots.com: At Nike.com: At Dick's Sporting Goods: At Modell's: At NFL.com:

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP)—DePaul earned another shot at taking down Tennessee by holding off BYU.
Anna Martin led a balanced attack with 17 points as DePaul claimed a 59-55 victory against the Cougars in the first round of the NCAA women's tournament Saturday.
The seventh-seeded Blue Demons (23-10) will play No. 2 Tennessee at suburban Allstate Arena on Monday. The Lady Vols ripped DePaul 84-61 on Dec. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York to fall to 0-19 against Tennessee.
"Tennessee's a totally different team than the one we played in December," DePaul coach Doug Bruno said. "So are we. It's going to be a very, very tough game … (and) hopefully we can get 17,000 out and get this place filled.
BYU (26-7) fought back from a late eight-point deficit and had a chance to tie with 2.8 seconds to play. But Haley Steed's 3 point try missed, DePaul rebounded and Steed fouled Brittany Hrynko.
"(Haley's) hit a couple of shots like that this year," BYU coach Jeff Judkins said. "When she shot it, I thought it was in."
Hyrnko added a free throw and closed with 15 points while Katherine Harry and Jasmine Penny had 12 each.
Jennifer Hamson had 21 points for BYU and Kristen Riley had 10 and 12 rebounds.
Martin scored six points as fast-starting DePaul hit 5 of its first 7 shots to open an early 10-1 lead.
Hamson collected six more points over a 6 minute span as the Cougars forced a 12-12 tie and took their first lead at 14-12 on Dani Peterson's bank shot with 10:55 left in the half.
BYU never trailed through the balance of a tight first half, but never extended a lead beyond five points. The Blue Demons twice rallied to tie in the final 1:32, but the Cougars opened a 29-27 lead on a pair of Lexi Eaton free throws.
DePaul then took over.
The Demons took advantage of five Cougars turnovers and opened the second half with 14 unanswered points—including five from Hrykno—for a 41-29 lead at the 14:30 mark.
BYU broke the run at 13:41 on Easton's layup, but still trailed 45-34 when Steed when to work.
Steed hit back-to-back 3 pointers—her first field goals of the game—to briefly trim the deficit to 45-40.
BYU hit two more 3 pointers and cut the lead to 54-48 with 3:26 on Vermunt's long-distance shot.
The Cougars continued to chip away and trimmed the deficit to 58-55 on Lexi Eaton's 3 with 41.8 seconds left.
The game was held on the home court for DePaul's men's basketball. The women player in a smaller on-campus facility and haven't appeared at Allstate Arena since hosting an NCAA tourney round in 2006.
The Cougars were making their first NCAA trip since 2007. They won the West Coast Conference tournament earlier this month for an automatic berth.
The Blue Demons are a tournament regular, qualifying yearly since 2003. They reached the NCAA Sweet 16 last year before falling to Duke.

|Reviews for You're Mine
| StormDragon666 chapter 1 . 4/26
That ending took me by surprise so strongly I literally gasped out loud when I saw I'd run out of text to scroll through. I spent half the day reading this story, on and off. I don't think I've read your stories in about 2 years. I only read one or two of them. I remember a story where Sasuke was a chubby Italian cop, Ino was a very muscular lesbian from Iowa and Sakura her tiny tiny tiny "pixie" girlfriend. I THINK that was you. If not, lol my mistake those descriptions may sound out of the blue if you weren't the one who made them.
I see your profile is fuuuuullllll of shit to read and I'm open to a million and one pairings so I could read just about any of them. And I give an appreciative nod to that big note in your profile about writing fics to negate the bad ending of the manga. Maybe it's plain silly to think like fanfictions are some kind of written weapon like that, but I respect the idea of you wanting to negate the negativity of the canon storyline by putting out better fiction for others to read. Something crappy was inspiration for you to turn out a positive product, and that's great.
This was the first story I clicked on, randomly, and I had no idea who all these children were so I clicked on some other stories to get some bits of info that would help me but got unexpected involved in a few other stories. I read Rebound and texted one of my friends about it (she once made an offhand joke about a million slash pairings involving Naruto so everytime I come across a new one I shove it in her face with an "lol here's another!" so I told her about the LeeNaru.) I read parts of Bonded, includings its "Joining" chapter which was the sex-fest that I read specifically to find out if Raiden was an m-preg baby from that one tryst, but I got unexpectedly engrossed in the fictional character sex and damn it's like I'm 16 all over again. I also read parts of New Bonds, realized Itachi and Gaara was a pairing here, holy shit, you're crossing over into a TV show I barely know about called Charmed and making some of its characters a notable part of the Naruto universe and society, like HOLY shit, was intrigued by the story Take Me's summary multiple times but decided I had waaaaay too many tabs open already and I had already spent most of my Sunday evening staring at all these stories, can't handle any more tonight. I read and read, mostly hoping to find references to Hanabi and Kaito's ages, because I began this story and saw mentions of the age gap, but didn't know what the age gap exactly was.
Basically I read all of that so I could read THIS STORY. I saw its summary and again my inner 16-year-old girl read that brief summary and remembered all the gushing about "possessive boyfriends" back in the day and my curiosity turned me into a zombie and I clicked on it. Honestly I was expecting a story where this Kaito person became unhealthily obsessed with Hanabi, who tried to either fix his mental problems or flee from him and the situation would be messily dealt with. Had no idea I was jumping into a warped albeit happier version of ninja Romeo and Juliet, successful teen love story. So that surprised me, but I enjoyed the ride the whole way through. The things that stood out to me the most about it is that Hanabi didn't really know what sex was despite being seventeen, which speaks to how isolated and hidden she is from obvious facts of live by her oppressive family, or that she's just...dumb. She had a rather rotten attitude about her that made me think "This is what older adults think teenagers are, they think all teens are THIS hateful and aggressive and whiny." So her characterization as THAT, towards her family, was very solid. Next, I was repeatedly thrilled to see how all the Uchiha children gathered around Kaito to help him, didn't mock him or make penis jokes as he cried about what happened in front of them, they even gathered in a circle around their new sister-in-law, holding weapons against aggressive adults. I don't even know how old all of them are. Could have been 13-year-olds holding that circle, could be 5-year-olds. I think at least one of the kids was only 5. Shouta I think. The visual impression I'm going ot take away form this fic is A) wild sex descriptions and B) children surrounding pregnant teen, holding knives against hateful, armed adults in front of a village gate at dawn.
Anyway it's almost 1am where I am and this was a fun read. Thanks for all your work you put out so prolifically, I'm sure I'll come back to your profile a couple more times to see what else you got up your sleeve.
| asdfghjjkl chapter 1 . 7/4/2012
WOAH! So did the baby survive? Well, that remains a mystery :/.
| missmonti chapter 1 . 8/17/2011
This was so intense! I absolutely love the way you write Hanabi and Kaito. Their love is so precious. Now I'm off to TTB! :D
| zaradan chapter 1 . 8/12/2010
Wow, this one was a real tear jerker. beutifuly written, the love and sadness in this story is almost palpable. The parts with kaito and hanabi kinda remind me of the first time i made love. i hope your writting career is fruitfull, fullfilling, and fun.
| InspireInspireInspire chapter 1 . 7/6/2010
The ending sent chills down my spine...I'm glad Hiashi is dead though. Did the baby survive? Poor Kaito. and Hanabi
| Addiena-Saffir chapter 1 . 3/5/2010
Wow now THIS is what i call a one-shot! awesome job chickie, wow. Although for all you young ones out there let this be a lesson to ya. if not abstinence than SAFETY use your heads ppls
| pure-white-angel chapter 1 . 2/3/2010
Really awesome oneshot!
| BugMe15 chapter 1 . 1/16/2010
That was romantic, chilling, scary, drama filled. Just my kinda oneshot :)
| Kayos9 chapter 1 . 11/2/2009
*screem* NO DONT STOP THERE! THATS NOR FAIR *cry* plz post TTB soon im dieing here!
PS if you haddn't gessed by now i loved this oneshot!
| xXxItaHinaSasuXxX chapter 1 . 10/19/2009
i know this is a late review but i actually had lots to this weekend, not having the chance to read until now.
really, you need to get that out soon. i just love kaito and hanabi. they really stuck it out well in the beginning and when they were finally together i just knew that hanabi would be making demands lol! it's good that kaito got bolder though, i really liked him in here.
naruto and kakashi make me laugh xD. at least kakashi knows when and how to handle situations such as the ones in this fic.
i really enjoyed the talk naruto and kaito had and then what he told hanabi when he said he'd kill for her, that really made me laugh for some reason. and it's good that raiden still does things for kaito but every time hanabi or love in general is involved he gets into some deep trouble.
i do feel for the way the pregnancy was handled and the fact that her father reacted like that. i really hope the baby lives and i'm glad hiashi's dead. one less 'meanie' to deal with :)
i didn't like the way naruto and sasuke reacted. they're always so violent when it comes to raiden and aimi, they may be strong but they're not even ten yet. i wish aimi would have nearly taken off naruto's ear by holding him in the air to let him know how it felt for her brother. and what was sasuke thinking slapping aimi like that? i know she won't forget that anytime soon.
the uchiha's never cease to amaze and amuse me and they did all through the fic. you really do a great job with them. i can't wait to read about their stories.
well i hope you update soon and, again, loved the fic _
| TheHypocrite chapter 1 . 10/19/2009
well that was an extremely depressing ending. gay, wrong, and gay on many, may levels, i dont know why you people always make naruto gay, oh and btw sasuke is a traturous ass, itachi is about 10x worse, gaara will never go gay, but other than that paragraph of criticisim, and the fact that kito or whatever his name is acts like a robot during sex, "can i see your tits? can i se your pussy?" god, no sense of romance whatsoever
| roxxihearts chapter 1 . 10/18/2009
yeah thats right D got what was coming to him. oh ym there was so much in this chapter! i cant even cover it all xO plus im not even up to reviewing soo...rain check?
Short and sweet: it was awesome i was enthralled from beginning to end.
| Thuggy Ninjette chapter 1 . 10/15/2009
I loved this. :D
I absolutley can;t wait for "Ties that Bind!"
| Shodaime chapter 1 . 10/15/2009
Hiashi deserved to suffer...like seeing the baby born and gain Sharingan before Itachi did him in. Is the baby alright? Again another master piece of writing that keeps you reading from start to finish. Good work.
| poluskinha chapter 1 . 10/15/2009
Welcome back,
Thank you again for writing to us. First, I must say that I haven't read the story yet, but I saw that there was only 1 review so I rushed to make my contribution hehehehhehe
I'm at work so it will be hard to read, and I know that once I dive into Naruto, it won't be easy to come out again, so I'll wait until I'm home at 7pm (in about 10hrs time).
Ja ne

Key Executives for Hovione FarmaCiencia SA
Hovione FarmaCiencia SA Key Developments
Hovione announced the appointment of Dr. Filipe Gaspar as Vice President of its Research and Development organization. Dr. Gaspar will lead teams based in Lisbon and New Jersey that serve clients' drug development projects; he will also be defining long-term product development strategies and collaborations. He will report to Guy Villax, Hovione's Chief Executive. Dr. Gaspar joined Hovione in 2003 as a Manufacturing engineer and later became responsible for the technical leadership of spray drying technology. In 2004 Dr. Gaspar moved to R&D to start the Particle Engineering group, there he was involved in more than 120 projects from preclinical stage to commercial. During that period he was the Lead Scientist in four projects that reached commercial stage, including the first at Hovione submitted under Quality by Design. He was instrumental in many of the projects that have contributed to Hovione's growing success in Particle Engineering. In 2012 he moved to a Business Development role and spent a year based in New Jersey.
The United States Food and Drug Administration has received Hovione's first investigational new drug application for minocycline gel to administer topically for acne. The filing is a part of the company's strategy to develop improved drug delivery options for established drugs. After receiving United States Food and Drug Administration's acceptance of the investigational new drug application submission, the firm plans to commence human clinical phase I/II trials in early 2015.
On September 30, 2014, Anacor Pharmaceuticals Inc. entered into a manufacturing agreement with Hovione FarmaCiencia SA, pursuant to which Hovione will manufacture and supply to the company Tavaborole active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the company's drug KERYDINTM (tavaborole) topical solution, 5%. Pursuant to the agreement, the company is obligated during the term to purchase from Hovione a portion of its API requirements for KERYDIN intended for distribution in the United States. The company may qualify and, subject to certain limitations, purchase a portion of its API requirements for KERYDIN from an alternate supplier during the term of the Agreement. The purchase price for the API is fixed subject to potential periodic adjustment over the term of the agreement. The agreement will continue for an initial term expiring on December 31, 2020 and is subject to automatic 18-month renewal terms, unless earlier terminated by either party on at least 18 months' written notice prior to the end of the initial term (or any such renewal term) or for specified events under the agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement for uncured material breaches by the other party or in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. In addition, the company may terminate the agreement in the event that KERYDIN's new drug application is withdrawn or Hovione is unable, in certain circumstances, to satisfy the company's purchase requirements. Prior to January 31, 2018, Hovione may give notice to the company to terminate the agreement effective December 31, 2018 in the event that the company does not make aggregate purchases of API for KERYDIN from Hovione in excess of a certain minimum amount.

I seem to have noticed an obvious and painful pattern with the release of video games, they all seem to come out during the Holiday Season, leaving the summer in a "game drought". THIS IS RIDICULOUS ! Why should every game come out at the same time and leave another part of the year reletively empty?
In my opinion, the game industry needs to adapt to the form of the movie industry. In general there's at least one good movie coming out every two months worth seeing, although many movies do wait for christmas, there isn't a whole season left without a movie release. In fact, movies generally want to come out when other movies don't to reduce the competition against other big titles for ticket sales. If games adapted to this, then everyone would be happy.
On one hand the the game will have more of a chance in selling copies. This Fall- Christmas, sooo many good games are coming out, and they all have to compete with each other. For instance, most gamers are going to by Modern Warfare 2 this season, it's a huge title basically guaranteeing a great video game experience, and every game coming out between Novemer and Christmas has to realize that people are going to have to choose between games. Assuming that everyone doesn't buy every game to come out, some sacrifice will have to be made somewhere, for instance I know i want Assassin's Creed 2, Modern warfare, and ODST, leaving little financial room for any other game.
BUT if good games are released in July, a time where most teenagers (a huge percentage of the video game audience) get jobs and don't have to deal with school, room will open up, reducing competition. I realize that games do come out during the summer such as Madden , and that was a smart move on their part, but in general every summer when i actually have money, there are no games worth investing in. And when games do come out in the fall/holiday season, i'm left completely broke seeing as i had to pay for all the good games at once.
So please ... adapt to a full calendar schedule for releasing games! If the Dark Knight could reach the amount of success it did in July a good game can too. Bottom Line : releasing big titles in the summer doesn't just make the gamers happy, but also provides opportunity for successful sales that the game might not have against the swarm of titles released later in the year.

Spring Practice Presser 2-24-15: Jim Harbaugh
- Sione Houma had a procedure done and will be recovering over the spring. He's expected to be back for summer conditioning and fall camp.
- Khalid Hill and Drake Johnson are also injured and not participating in spring practices.
- The first practice went well; Harbaugh thought the whole day was great "with a capital G."
- The coaching staff is still in the process of asking questions themselves; how to get better, what scheme fits the personnel, what players fit what position, etc.
- Harbaugh said nothing has been determined as far as players switching positions, so take the initial depth chart with a massive grain of salt.
- Harbaugh declined to comment on freshman ineligibility
Opening remarks:
"I have no opening statement. I wasn't expecting a press conference. If anybody has any questions I'd be glad to attempt to answer them."
How'd it go?
"Good. You know, it's good to start. Feel like when you start you have- you can lay down a benchmark of where you are and it gives you a place to go forward from. It gives you a place to improve from [and] things to get better at."
Talk about how you go about building competition in practice with some of the things you implement.
"Uh…some of the things we do to build competition? I mean, it's football. It's a very competitive sport."
Are there things you do to encourage guys to…
"I'm sure there are. I'm sure there are. I don't really have that list in front of me right now."
You said you wanted to find out what their intent was in winter conditioning. Were you pleased with some of the results?
"Yes. Team's in very good shape. Kevin Tolbert and his staff did a very nice job and the fellas did a nice job. You could see that throughout practice that the team's in good condition and that gives us a fighting chance."
Do you know how much of an install you want to do this spring versus just evaluating the guys and getting a feel for the team? Do you know how you're going to balance that at this point?
"We'll do both."
How long is the evaluation process going to be?
"Daily. Every day there'll be an evaluation process on every player in every drill. That's on-going. That's always."

Upon Further Reviewy Hokepointsy Thing: Kick Return: First Four Games
Unlike other UFRs you may have read, this one comes with about 20x the NORFLEET! Michigan kickoffs were on Tuesday. Here's kick returns.
Michigan's deep set is usually Gedeon, Houma and Rawls then Dileo as a lead blocker (sets up opposite side of the field in case it goes there), and Norfleet returning. Houma and Rawls double the first guy to arrive while Gedeon's job is to wall off the second arrival so there's a hole between them. Up high it's like everybody else: four guys start just past the 50, two on the 40. Their job is to run downfield, then find somebody to hit and sustain that block. I'm sure Space Coyote is going to have a name for this but here's what it looks like:
After his injury Drake Johnson was replaced by Ross (vs ND) or Furman (elsewise). They change it up a lot up front. When Funchess was hurt Jackson folded back there. Hayes and Chesson rotated in at times.

Upon Further Reviewy Hokepointsy Thing: Kickoffs
So I kind of misunderstood a direction by Brian when I said I wanted to address special teams—he wanted stats on dinosaur punting and I thought he meant UFR all the things he doesn't.
What sparked my interest was coffin corner kicking. NCAA moved the kickoff spot to the 35 and made touchbacks start on the 25 as in incentive to cut down on kickoff return (and ensuing concussions). Inadvertently (or maybe not) they took away the advantage gained by teams with big-legged touchback machines. To regain that advantage, schools that can recruit kickers are teaching them to put the ball higher and in a spot where returners have to field it but are likely to be swallowed short of the 25 after they do.
|D-E-D zone.
Against CMU I noticed Wile seemed particularly good at placing balls right in that deep left corner, the same thing I've done on every football videogame ever once I mastered the timing of the kickoff bar. This seems very hard to do in real life: you need to put the ball high enough to let your coverage get there but not deep enough that they let it go through the end zone, and far enough from the sideline that it won't go out of bounds, but far enough inside of the hash that you can use the sideline as a force defender. Do it well consistently and that's perhaps 50 yards of field position a game.
It's my first time UFR'ing these so gonna have to set some ground rules:
Points: Number of points given out reflects where the play ended up, figuring 1 point roughly equals 5 yards of field position, baseline: 25 yard line.
Glossary: The "From" column is where the kick originated, given as yard line then horizontal position ("L"=left hash, etc.). "Rtn" (return) is how far the returner ran it, "Rlt" (result) is where the ball's placed. "Tchbk" (touchback) means it's on the 25. "Corner L" means they kicked it from the left hash and try to have it come down near the goal line and relatively near the sideline; "Deep L" means they just kicked it deep along the hash mark. "Center" means they kick it toward the middle and come down the same.
Things: Note that Michigan typically kicks off from the left hash despite their right-footed kicker.
Okay, got a UFR macro reverse-engineered in Xcel. Got some torrents. Got a…oh, bolded, chart-demanding subconscious, you there?
Okay let's do this.

Al Borges necessitates a change in season preview strategies. Previously folded into the wide receiver section, tight ends and close relatives have become so prevalent and diverse that they demand their own post and elaborate delineation of responsibilities. I have also snatched the fullbacks away from the tailback section to give a full spectrum of guys who aren't tailbacks or receivers who will see the field for Michigan this fall.
Your author's attempt to distill all the things he's heard about the guys listed above and put them into categories:
- FULLBACK: a man with a steel plated head runs into linebackers, gets two carries in his career, and has six catches. See: Kevin Dudley.
- U-BACK: A "move" tight end that motions all about, rarely lines up on the actual line of scrimmage, often goes from fullback to a flared spot or vice versa, and operates as more of a receiver than the fullback. Must be a credible threat to LBs; ends career with 40 catches. See: Aaron Shea.
- TIGHT END: Larger that the U-back, the tight end is a tight end who is actually tight to the end of the line. He comes out, lines up next to a tackle, helps him win blocks, and clobberates linebackers at the second level. He goes out into patterns as well, and may end his career with 40 catches himself. See: Tyler Ecker.
- FLEX: Sort of like the U-back in that he rarely lines up on the line of scrimmage itself, but if he motions away from his spot near the line, it's not to fullback but wide receiver. They get a billion catches and break Jim Mandich's record eventually. See: Devin Funchess is the only flex guy I can think of recently.
Complicating matters is the fact that many of the players listed above bleed into other positions: Houma, Rawls, and Shallman could be tailback-ish, Funchess and Butt will have their share of time with their hand in the dirt, tight to the end, and may even motion to fullback on occasion. In a Borges offense, things are not as they appear!
/tosses smoke bomb
Fullback is a spot where walk-ons are prevalent; Dudley mentioned above was both a walk-on and Michigan's finest linebacker eraser in the past 20 years, with only Chris Floyd offering competition. This year is no exception, as JOE KERRIDGE eased past converted tailback Stephen Hopkins last year to acquire a strong hold on the job. Judging from one of the sudden legion of shirtless photos players put on Instagram, if you encounter Joe Kerridge in the wild you should walk away slowly and hope you don't smell like salmon:
L to R: Sione Houma, Bobby Henderson, Joe Kerridge.
That plus the whole returning-starter bit should see Kerridge retain his role as Michigan's first choice when something absolutely has to die. In year one he was a little tentative, as you might expect, and there were a number of plays on which I though he was not reacting to the situation in front of him quickly enough to make an effective block. I'm still not clear on whether some of the suboptimal blocking on spread plays was because Michigan wasn't using newfangled arc blocking (ie: using your fullback or tight end to take out an exchanging linebacker and give your edge guy the edge) or because a freshman wasn't executing, but with the move away from spread elements, the job will be simpler: see man, make man wish he had taken up lawn darts.
Kerridge has a ton of potential. When he makes solid contact with guys, you can hear football:
That linebacker set up outside, Toussaint cut outside, and all the LB could do was fall over. He can bring the pain.
Kerridge had his inconsistencies. After three consecutive +3 games and a monster +6.5 against Illinois…
And Kerridge is racking up big numbers.
I may be giving him too much credit for standing up linebackers but to my eyes he really appears to be whacking them and providing the impetus for an improved under center run game. Those isos and such are
…he fell off into a bunch of games where he hung around 1 point. A large part of that was the Gardner transition; he also lost some playing time to Stephen Hopkins, who came back from injury and was given a shot to displace Kerridge. Kerridge did whiff some blocks. He got smoked for a sack in the bowl game, for one. And this inverted veer against State is something an experienced guy might decide to block the end on because otherwise there's no one else he can hit.
For a redshirt freshman it was a promising season. In year two the goal is to cut his failure rate in half and catch five passes. He'll be an interesting guy to watch in UFR. If Michigan really commits to MANBALL he could see some big numbers.
[After THE JUMP: Funchess, Williams, U-backs, we've got it all. Except upperclassmen.]
Spring Practice Presser Transcript 4-16-13: Al Borges
Opening remarks:
"What are you shaking your head about? Don't start this like that. I want positive karma out of you. Hi. How you guys doin'? Heiko, what's happenin?"
MGo: Not much.
"Always good to see you."
MGo: It's good to see you, too.
"You didn't mean that."
MGo: I'm really sad that you didn't run any pistol formations.
"We don't have any pistol formations. How could we run it? But if you'd like us to put them in we'll be happy to do so just to make you happy."
MGo: That would be great.
"Because my life revolves around your happiness if you haven't figured that out by now."
"... Okay."
The first play from scrimmage was a 30-yard pass down the sideline to Amara Darboh. Was that to show people that they don't need to worry about the wide receivers?
"Heh. No. That wasn't what I was thinking. No, we were just thinking -- it's always a good idea every so often in coming out on offense to try and take a ball deep. Our defense isn't necessarily like this, but a lot of defenses will get a little reckless, you know? They'll try and create a safety or whatever. A deep ball sometimes is a pretty good deal so we just decided at least once we were going to try and do that. That's the reason for it."

|Hello post from Tim. JeepinBen writes on the new role of fullbacks, comparing Houma's future role to that of Jacob "Not Devin" Hester.
|Tongan, not Samoan. Plays the ukelele(!)
Junior Highlights:
Postgame interview.
Sione Houma was pigeonholed as a fullback and came out of lightly-recruited Utah, so there isn't much out there about him aside from the occasional basic scouting report and one pretty fanciful comparison($) to Stanley Havili, the former USC fullback who specialized in turning basic wheel routes into touchdowns in the era when Trojan opponents were going 11-on-1 versus Reggie Bush. That:
…reminds me of former USC fullback Stanley Havili, who also is from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area. Houma has great hands catching passes out of the backfield and enough speed to get the corner. He has a great frame to add weight to as well.
Havili had offers from USC, Oregon, Nebraska, and others, a four-star ranking from most places, and was universally the top guy in Utah that year. Houma's down the list, and didn't have any other offers from power-type programs. So probably not Havili.
That's not to say Houma is just another roughneck who moves like a dump truck when he gets the ball. His high school team ran a flexbone triple option in which Houma was the A-back—the guy who plunges up the middle over and over again. He got the plurality of carries in that offense, and he has the potential to be a ball carrier if things break that way. Hey, let's hear from Fred Jackson!
"He is the real deal. He can run the football. He is powerful. He is going to be a very good football player. he is very physical for a guy his size," Jackson said. "And you know he is around 220 (pounds). He is a very physical and has great skill. He is really a half-back on film, but he will play fullback."
"…and he can transform into a Dairy Queen."
ESPN does think he's got the ability to pick up those little chunks of yards($) as long as he's not asked to dodge someone:
Houma is a tweener fullback/tailback prospect …durable and tough but will need to add bulk to adjust if recruited to play fullback. Has better burst than top-end speed but is just fast enough at the high school level to not get caught from behind on long runs. … lacks great cutback vision and patience. … Quickly gains north-south momentum through the hole; little hesitation. … Physical downhill runner with good lower-body power and balance. Breaks through consistent first contact. …Minimal elusiveness in the openfield. … Will not be a perimeter threat at the major college level. …brings valued versatility to a two-back offense.
His coach is more positive, as is the way of things. He also makes Houma out to be a potentially useful ballcarrier:
"Just from what I have seen from last year to this year, he's got some speed, quickness and niftiness to him that it would not surprise me to see him in a bigger tailback spot where maybe they need to pound a little bit. I think he could fit that role as well."
"I think he could be 235 in a heartbeat and still retain a lot of that speed and quickness," Benson said. "I've seen him increase [his speed] just over the past year and he's gained 10-12 pounds in that time."
Elsewhere his coach notes "great hands" and the fact that he's a "good blocker" before mentioning this:
"Like when he runs, he keeps his feet moving, and that's always key; he lowers his pad level and will really hit you."
His coach told Sam Webb something similar:
"…a real nifty runner as far as being as big as he is, but he can also just lower his shoulder and run right over the top of you. He has got some power, some agility, definitely got some quickness and speed to him.
…what makes him so tough in our offense is that he does hit north and south and once he gets his shoulders turned, people have a hard time stopping him."
Offer: explained. Rawls may have that sort of pile-pushing, leg churning short-yardage power but no one else on the roster is that kind of burrower and Michigan would like a guy that can do that and block and catch besides.
I'm serious about this Whipsaw Offense stuff. Houma is another piece, and one that Borges has proven he'll use in the past if it seems like a good idea($):
The fullback in Borges' previous offense at San Diego State accounted for the most fourth rushing yards and third most receiving yards on the team in 2010.
And that was the good SDSU year under Hoke, so that wasn't an "oh crap toss it short" thing. A guy like Houma is a viable target when you're flippin' your jibbers. TTB strikes on his real appeal to the coaches:
He's not huge and he's not particularly fast, but he's got a little bit of this and a little bit of that. He shows an ability to adjust to the ball in the air on short passes, he has a little bit of vision, he breaks away for an occasional long run, and he breaks some tackles in the process. …runs with a great forward lean when going through traffic. Since he's not particularly tall, that means anybody who hits him in the shoulder pads is bound to go backwards. …probably doesn't have the speed to break 50-yard runs or receptions, but he does have the ability to outrun linebackers and turn a 4-yard swing pass into a 10- or 15-yard swing passes.
Each of these guys covered in the big athlete category is a slightly different big athlete doing slightly different things, and we're about to hit Dennis Norfleet, who is by no means a "big athlete" but also promises to be a guy who does slightly different things than anyone else on the roster. Then next year you've got Butt and Hill coming in to add to the fun. Whipsaw, yo.
Etc.: Trades spring break time for service. Random quote:
"I just said thank you for your service. I think that is the ultimate sacrifice," said senior Izzy Washburn. "I also drew a giraffe. Everybody likes giraffes."
Houma, resembles a muscle car: It gains momentum as it accelerates, but with handling capable of diverting contact and racing to the end zone.
Why Matt Asiata? I don't keep a close eye on fullbacks around the world and there is no real comparable I can think of at Michigan. He's not at all BJ Askew-sized, he should be more than a Dudley-esque thumper, he's more likely to beat a linebacker on a wheel than Hopkins, and Aaron Shea is all wrong, too. (Also I'm saving Shea for Khalid Hill.) I thought about Brandon Minor, who's about the same size, but "great forward lean" and Brandon Minor are diametrically opposed concepts.
I do remember a squat, thick dude who went up the middle over and over again at Michigan Stadium a few years back… it's just that he was playing for Utah. Matt Asiata was a crunching FB/RB for the Utes and gashed Michigan for almost six yards a carry in that 2008 game just by running through tackles. I thought it was a little dubious to pull him up since I remember him being enormous, but apparently he was 5'11", 220. If Houma ends up contributing at a max level for M it'll be as a short-yardage, grinding change of pace back and thumping blocker, like Asiata.
If we really want to get crazy with the whole Whipsaw Offense thing, Asiata saw a ton of his carries as a wildcat QB.
Guru Reliability: Moderate. Agreement, but fullback from Utah.
Variance: Moderate. Realistically will be a role player, but has pretty-important-role-player upside.
Ceiling: Low-plus. Role player of some variety, possibly important
General Excitement Level: Low-plus. Fullback, but a guy who they recruited to do more than dump truck people. While I generally hate fullback offers I can understand this one as part of Michigan assembling a Swiss Army Knife roster for Borges to do diabolical things with.
Projection: With Hopkins and redshirt freshman Joe Kerridge around, a redshirt beckons. After that it's another year behind Hopkins before sort of battling for the job as a redshirt sophomore. I say "sort of" because there's probably two slightly different roles for fullbacks in the new Michigan offense, one a traditional walk-on cruncher who leaves "two inches shorter than they came in" as Brady Hoke requested on Signing Day, the other more of a Shea/Havili/Asiata versatile H-back type who can take on a linebacker in the hole or flare out, etc. He's likely to play 15-30% of Michigan's snaps for his final three years, may end up a short yardage back, and will be a redzone option on play action.

At the risk of sounding like a total newbie,even tho my box has been modded for a couple of years,my friends brand new , version 1.6 box(Sep 21 2004 man. date) was just modded(not sure which chip version) and he needs to know how to get to the Evox dash.The quick press method enables/disables chip upon power up and the purple Evox logo appears in the upper left hand corner against the green m$ boot up screen and menu options.How does he get to the Evox dash from there?A button press sequence or what?Thanks for any help on this.

Does he have an Evox dash installed, or just the Evox bios? They are 2 completely different things....
Posted 23 November 2004 - 03:25 AM
Not sure.I'll find out and report back.He has a new box and I am unfamiliar with his system and/or mod type.Would the evox dash come on right after boot up if it was installed?Thanks a million for the response and future help.Appreciate it.
Posted 23 November 2004 - 07:02 AM
If it's installed, it should. As long as your booting the hacked bios, it should boot to the EvoX dash.
Posted 23 November 2004 - 08:05 AM
Seems like they only have installed a bios and not the dash. Get a copy of slayers/superdisc and install with that.

I was surfing the web the other day..and i found this Memory Album on Disneyana.com
I think it'd be cool if we just sort of started a thread where you guys could leave your most treasured Disneyland memory. It could be either some kind of family/friend trip, some kind of interaction with a cool cast member, a MAGICAL moment, or just anything at Disneyland in general
Disneyland is FULLLLL of happy, magical memories
probably my BEST memory would be a couple months ago in June. i organized a trip to disneyland with 5 of my good friends. it was the week after school got out and my school gets out early so the crowds weren't THAT bad. We did an 8 AM - 12 AM trip. full 16 hours of fun!!! these people were people who don't go to Disneyland that often. I made sure i hit all the important ones and the historically important ones such as Tiki Room! I sort of also did a lot of narrating in lines and stuff..tell them interesting little historical tidbits and stuff. the best part came at night when we watched fireworks. watching their mouths GAPE open at the fireworks was AWESOME! when the fireworks done.. they were AMAZED . one of them even said.."that was worth $56 alone!" when we left the park, they were all saying thank u and telling me how they've never experienced Disneyland the way they did that day. They said it was much more magical!
For me, I love the trips when i take someone to Disneyland and help them see it in a more magical, and enchanting way than just a regular ole theme park. Disneyland is an EXPERIENCE! I love sharing the Disney magic!

People once thought that coral was a stone. Coral is said to protect children, and historically given to other countries as gifts. Today, imitation coral is produced using such as plastic, glass, porcelain, and stained bone, and is used to make coral necklaces. Natural coral has a distinctive wood grain texture which is used to identify the real thing. Silica in ocean water hardens coral, turning it into the gemstone agate over thousands of years, with the coral appearing as beautiful flowers in the stone.
Coral is used to combat difficulties of the lungs and digestion. It relates to the circulation of the blood and to the heart. Coral is said to restore harmony in the event of emotional conflict, works against nutritional deficiencies, depression, and lethargy. As to its mystical capabilities, it's said to cure madness, give wisdom, and build an emotional foundation.
Formed in sub tropical waters, coral thrives in a narrow temperature range of 13 to 16 degrees centigrade. The highest quality coral comes from the Mediterranean Sea, particularly off the coasts of Algeria and Tunisia. A black coral growth that is believed to be conchiolin, which hardens on exposure to air, has been farmed off the islands of Hawaii. Natural Bamboo Coral is usually gray in color and is porous; therefore, it readily takes dye and is colored either pink or red.
Coral is a semi-precious gemstone symbolizing 35 years of marriage that comes in a variety of colors that include red, blue, orange, rose, white, and black. Red and pink are the most valued colors. Coral ranges in color from a blush pale pink shade, known as Angel Skin, which is the rarest form of coral in the world, to an orange or deep red shade, known as Oxblood, which is the second rarest color, to white, which is popular. The best orange red color comes from the Mediterranean around Algeria and Tunisia. It is also found in the sea near Naples and off the coast of the Italian islands and Japan.
