Visited several years ago for possible placement of a bird. Filthy! Birds in outside cages. Mosquitos were everywhere. Wouldn't put any bird there. Shouldn't be a rescue.

Blue Jays activate Colby Rasmus from disabled list
Sep 16, 2011, 3:11 PM EDT
After three weeks off due to a right wrist injury, Colby Rasmus was activated from the disabled list by the Blue Jays prior to Friday's game.
Rasmus is hitting just .216/.239/.398 with three homers and 12 RBI in 23 games since arriving from the Cardinals prior to the deadline. He appeared to find his stroke in the middle of last month, going 7-for-20 with two homers, three doubles and seven RBI in a five-game span, but he went hitless in his final four games before landing on the DL.
With Rasmus back, the Jays will have to pick between Eric Thames and Adam Loewen for one outfield spot most days. Loewen has gone 5-for-14 with a homer and three RBI in four starts since his callup earlier this month, so the Jays will likely want to take a longer look at hom, particularly since he'll be out of options next spring. Thames has been solid, hitting .265/.314/.457 with 10 homers, but he's already had 313 at-bats to show what he can do.
- cur68 - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:16 PM
The fact that Thames has been looking a mite tender in the hammy, the oblique and possibly a wrist tells me we'll have Tony…ooops… Colby back in the outfield tonight. Everybody wants to to see Loewen play, he brings a crowd of Canucks to the park. The fact that he can play a little is a real nice bonus. The real question his have they removed all the oak splinters Lawrie got from running into Varitek yet, and if so, can he now play?
- proudlycanadian - Sep 16, 2011 at 3:37 PM
I understand that Cecil has a cut finger and will not pitch tonight. McGowan gets the start instead.
- cur68 - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:04 PM
So, Dusty vs. Cap'n Crunch, eh? Well, well, the plot thickens. I don't know how I feel about this move. Throwing the kid in the deep end might be great might be a disaster, no middle ground IMO. He'll need some run support. Hope Rasmus has his batting gloves with him.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:29 PM
The Jays have had 2 off days this week so the pitching staff will be well rested. McGowan and Alvarez will both be on pitch counts. Who knows what Morrow will do on Sunday? I think I know who was gaming the thumbs button, but as I have no proof, I will not name him.
Cecil cut his finger while cleaning a blender. This is the second time he has cut his finger in the kitchen so I wonder if he actually learned anything in college.
- Panda Claus - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:03 PM
Was Colby's father in on this decision?
- cur68 - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:06 PM
Dunno, but I think he's keeping an eye on this discussion. Check out the thumb action in the 'down' column. Yowza.
Hey Tone, your boy feeling like some Cap'n Crunch? There's gonna be a big old bowl full on the mound for him. With extra grit, to boot.
- spudchukar - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:15 PM
Remember he has to be spoon-fed.
- paperlions - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:25 PM
…with a silver spoon.
- Panda Claus - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:24 PM
Both Tonys, Rasmus and LaRussa, disapprove of "thumbs down" activities.
- cur68 - Sep 16, 2011 at 4:50 PM
Right, because its not fair to them.

Spring Stuff: Defense
The spring game-type-substance maintained its downward importance trajectory, but as it's the last glimpse of one of the big three sports we'll have until fall we'll talk about it all the same. This year's edition further expanded the punting-drills-and-standing-around section of the practice, so observations are necessarily light on the ground.
It's bad when Doug Karsch can't keep the sarcasm out of his voice.
This video is in Michigan's traditional zoom-o-vision, so you can't actually tell what Lewis did to get in the position he's in for the first interception.
The tone. Last year's "I like this team" has been replaced.
"We're doing a lot of good things, but we're not near good enough as a team to win games in the fourth quarter, which we didn't do (last season), and play on the road," said Hoke, entering his fourth season. "We're a long way from being any good."
That reflects the reality of the program.
Depth chart grain of salt reminder. Spring is a season for motivational devices and experiments and therefore places on the depth chart should be regarded as vague indicators more than anything else. Case in point: Graham Glasgow was your second-team right tackle.
Lewis is in your grill yo [Bryan Fuller]
Very aggressive /teddyKGB. Every offseason for a team without an elite defense features coaches promising increased aggression, whereupon most of them quietly drop that promise when the season rolls around and it turns out that for Defense X being super aggressive is a good way to give up quick touchdowns. The cycle repeats the next offseason.
Michigan is promising aggression, and Mattison is putting his cornerbacks where his mouth is. Lewis:
"It's huge, just getting hands on guys and trying to intimidate them," Lewis said. "That's our key point right there -- being physical. That's what (defensive coordinator Greg) Mattison is always talking about, being a physical defense."
They spent most of the scrimmage session in the grills of Michigan wide receivers, playing MSU-style bump and clutch and grab and run. Word from the coaching clinic is that Michigan is adjusting to the way the game has been called of late. Lewis again:
"He said 'be physical'," Lewis said. "But he doesn't care if it's great defense and we get a penalty."
This was highly effective when not drawing two flags on Lewis—the second a dubious one—or that one time the offense got Freddy Canteen lost on a deep corner route. Everything else was contested, and when the ball got to the receiver the corners were making a play on it.
Lewis looked terrific after a spring in which inside practice buzz has heralded him as a major comer; hell, he looked terrific most of last year except for the bit where the opposing quarterback regularly put the ball in the six-inch window perfect coverage provides. In this game he had two interceptions and two flags along with other instances where his presence forced drops or tough catches. The first interception came on the first play of the scrimmage (0:45 above).
The video doesn't do it justice since it kind of looks like Lewis is coming over from a zone. That was pure press man coverage on which he did the one thing the gypsy promised him he'd never do: make a play on the ball after achieving his position.
Is he supplanting? I don't know, man. Usually two returning starters who had the number of excellent interceptions Taylor and Countess did have impregnable positions on the depth chart. This situation is not usual, though, as those guys didn't have impregnable positions even as they were doing that—Taylor was yanked from the starting lineup briefly, even. And the last impression Michigan's coaches have is both guys getting smoked by Tyler Lockett, an impression that Countess might have reinforced when Canteen beat him over the top Manningham-style. (Gardner left the throw short and Countess recovered.)
At the very least the competition here is a real one, unlike, say, quarterback. And corner is a position at which a lot of players will see the field. Lewis has at least claimed a spot in Michigan's nickel package, which is half your snaps these days. Even when not in nickel, Michigan rotated last year and they'll rotate this year. It's likely that Lewis gets as many snaps as the starters whether he is one on paper or not, and then you've got Stribling and Peppers. Delonte Hollowell is hanging around, delivering the occasional hard shot on the unsuspecting.
If the spring game indicates one thing, it's that cornerback is better-stocked than it's been in a long-time. Michigan doesn't have a Woodson (at least until fall, anyway), but I can say without hesitation that I'm more comfortable with Michigan's fifth corner than I usually am with their third. Remember Football Armageddon, when Michigan decided covering a first-round NFL draft pick with Chris Graham was their best option? Yeah. Not so much this year.
Wilson got over the top on a late throw [Bryan Fuller]
Aaaand safety. Much less clarity there, and very little to go on from the game-type section. Michigan spent much of the day rolling whoever wasn't Jarrod Wilson to the line of scrimmage to further their aggression goals, whereupon he would cover a fullback or something or watch as a run play did not get to him.
Wilson did have one nice PBU on a looping ball over the top. The ball was late thanks to some pressure that forced Gardner to roll around in the pocket, but that's the kind of ball a safety can make a play on and the play was made.
As far as depth chart stuff goes there was zero clarity. If you put a gun to my head I'd say Delano Hill was slightly preferred. And then I would say "but…" and you would shoot me. Let's not do this gun to the head thing when talking about Michigan's safeties.
The Jake Ryan experiment. First off, the admittedly not-particularly-meaningful spring depth chart gives me the willies. Ryan at MLB, Morgan second-string behind him, Bolden starting, Ross running on the second team at new tinySAM. I am full of the willies.
It's hard to tell much about linebackers in spring, harder yet when the offensive line they're up against is barely releasing to the second level*. On plays where I watched Jake Ryan he looked okay. He's kind of a long, upright guy, so when blockers get into him he tends to let them under him. On the edge he would just juke a guy and explode past him; in the middle you have to take the block on because picking the wrong side of the guy means you just blew your run fit.
I'm not sure where he fits in an over defense, though, so if you're going to make a shift he has to go somewhere.
Meanwhile, Joe Bolden's ample playing time has been mysterious to me. Linebacker remains the hardest position for me to have a Serious Opinion about because there's just so much that goes into it, but the things that Bolden seemed to be screwing up were really obvious things like not being anywhere near your pass drop. Meanwhile when it comes to hitting people in the face and making them stop going forward there is no comparison between Bolden, who has been a drag-you-down tackler to date, and Desmond Morgan, who thumps you and then you stop moving. Michigan's head coach says "toughness" every other word, and Morgan is much closer to that on the field than Bolden.
As a result I've promised to eat a lemon on the internet if Bolden starts the opener over Morgan. The rules: Morgan has to be healthy, Bolden has to start, and Morgan cannot start.
*[Michigan had a great deal of uninspiring runs of 1-3 yards but few TFLs except that one time they put Henry in against the third team OL. This was in large part because the offensive line was doing its damndest to not repeat the mistakes of last year. Instead of popping off opposing DL immediately, they were maintaining doubles longer than you really should. This made life at LB relatively easy and thus many plays where a tailback crosses the line of scrimmage and encounters a pile of men.]
Poggi SDE, Hurst 3-tech, Henry nose on a second or third unit
Line ups and downs. Here the limitations of spring practice overwhelm. Michigan's first-team offensive line read Cole-Bosch-Miller-Kalis-Braden; the second team featured a left tackle with an enormous cast on his hand. Grain of salt, grain of salt, grain of salt.
Anyway, Michigan had a few guys that looked impressive: Bryan Mone entered the backfield with regularity and Maurice Hurst Jr flashed the first step that was the bulk of his recruiting profile. That they've pushed Henry down the depth chart is an excellent sign even if that particular arrangement is clearly motivational after Henry established himself a legit Big Ten player a year ago. Brennen Beyer displayed an excellent ability to discard… uh… true freshman Mason Cole on a number of snaps. Beyer has always been an active hands guy; the question with him is his ability to hold up against 330 pound trucks. A matchup with Cole is not going to answer that.
Michigan got push up the middle of the pocket for large chunks of the scrimmages and while they weren't penetrating on run plays with regularity, see the aside above. When Michigan's options were limited in the half-line drills, they ended up in the backfield more often than not. It seemed like 80% of those runs cut back behind the center, which is a win for the DL in that drill.
As for guys who had bad snaps we will extrapolate much more from than is reasonable: at 2:55 in the video above Derrick Green gets one of Michigan's better runs on the day by bouncing outside; that is there because Glasgow locked up with and drove Henry Poggi well off the ball. Tom Strobel got easily handled on a successful Hayes power play at 2:25; a linebacker wearing a number in the 40s also picked the wrong hole. Also… does anyone know where Chris Wormley was? I don't recall seeing him; I googled to see if anyone had mentioned anything was up with him and came up empty, so I assume he was there but rather anonymous.
I have to punt on other defensive end observations, as I was focusing on the linebackers and secondary for much of the day.
Tentative Takeaways
- They're trying to make good on the promise to be aggressive.
- The cornerback depth is terrific and the top end should be quite good.
- Michigan has a solid young core at DT; DE is more uncertain.
- Linebackers… ask again later.
Mailbag: Sports Randomness Rankings, Important Holder Question
anecdotal comparison demonstrates that the best basketball player ever, Michael Jordan, was considerably better than the best baseball player ever, a chimpanzee named Carl who led the 1883-1884 Erie Mudjacks with a .546 batting average.
Question about randomness in sports that evolved into a very long answer with rants about how to fix hockey.
Hey MGoBlog team,
I'm of the opinion that individual games in any sport are decided by a combination of four things: player athleticism, player skill, player/coaching strategy, and chance. If you want you could also pull refereeing out of the chance bucket to make a fifth. Do you think this is a valid and relatively complete model and if not how would you change it? A related question is which of the five major sports (football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey) relies most on chance to decide the outcome of a single game? How does that affect the fan experience?
My answer is basketball and hockey as the most reliant on chance, which I think negatively impacts my ability to get too caught up in the outcome of those games. That could be because I'm relatively ignorant of the strategy and skill elements in those games though, which is why I seek your most esteemed opinions.
Those four things cover just about everything, though athleticism and skill are sometimes difficult to parse out from each other.
As far as randomnesss goes, basketball in fact seems like the sport least impacted by chance, especially at the NBA level. The best NBA teams win something like 80% of their games, and teams that good generally plow through four rounds of playoffs without issue. A whopping 14 of the 20* teams with the best regular season win percentage in NBA history went on to win the championship. Two that didn't (the 96-97 Utah Jazz and 1995-96 Seattle Supersonics) lost in the finals to teams ahead of them on the list.
Meanwhile, no baseball team in a much longer history has touched an 80% win rate and only five of the 14 teams that Wikipedia references made it through much shorter playoff structures. Also, eight of them played before WWI. Baseball is the king of randomness. They've done studies and everything.
And when you think about it, it makes sense. Basketball is structured as 60-90 random trials worth 0-3 points for each team. That's a lot of trials. Baseball has nine. Football has 10-12, though that's a bit different because those trials are a lot less independent of previous ones. Hockey defies this sort of categorization. But just think about the MAXIMUM THUNDERBOLT LEVEL possible in any particular sport as a proxy for randomness:
- A man makes a three pointer and is fouled for four points out of 100.
- A goal is scored!
- A grand slam!!
Despite the high thunderbolt rating of the top football plays, the sport as a whole is less random than hockey and baseball, primarily because each play has an impact on the one that follows it in a way that doesn't happen in sports with less memory. You can load the bases in baseball and come away with nothing; ripping off a 30-yard run in football is always worth something.
Soccer also defies this analysis, as goals rank high on the thunderbolt scale but soccer Cinderellas are exceedingly rare. When Cypriot club APOEL made the final 16 of the Champions League a couple years back there was a veritable tizzy; they were immediately bashed out by Real Madrid 8-2.
And that makes sense, too. The structure of the game is such that good teams always have the ball and bad teams give up on the idea of competing on equal footing, instead preferring to pack everyone in front of their goal in hopes of a tie or a fluke goal. Outmatched teams regularly get outshot 10-1, compared to 2-1 in hockey. Hell, when Barca comes to town even teams backed by Russian plutocrats have a tendency to park the bus and hope for fortune.
Your randomness rankings, then, from least to most random:
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Football
- Hockey
- Baseball
It's a wonder they bother to play baseball instead of just guessing what color the ump is thinking about.
College basketball is quite a bit more random than the NBA, primarily because the game is shorter, possessions longer, and three pointers more readily available. Michigan just lost a 55 possession game in which the opponent went 8 of 13 from three primarily because one guy was unconscious. If that was an NBA game it would be the middle of the third quarter and they would have a chance to right the ship.
But overall, college basketball still spits out the "right" team enough that it's satisfying to me. The playoff structure very rarely sees top teams not reach the Sweet 16 and even more rarely puts a true interloper into the Final Four. Meanwhile, the single elimination nature of it makes any team vulnerable. March Madness straddles the line between unsatisfyingly random (baseball) and boringly rote (the NBA) almost perfectly.
I am with you on hockey, though. I find myself increasingly discontent with 2-1 games in which goals are mostly a matter of which plinko ball makes it all the way through the mass of bodies. Watching MSU and Michigan play in the GLI was illuminating, as Mickey Redmond took some time to compare MSU's defensive strategy of packing all six players in or near the crease to the current NHL vogue, then complain about how the game was better when people were checking guys on the points. The game has shifted such that save percentages added in with the number of shots that don't get to the goalie means that maybe 1 of 50 point shots does anything useful.
Meanwhile, the single elimination format that works so well in less-random basketball is a complete disaster in college hockey. Hell, the addition of the shootout and the loser point in the NHL has made even the 82 game regular season(!) way less predictive than you'd think. This then bleeds into the playoffs, where 8 seeds beating 1 seeds is commonplace. While it's somewhat controversial, these days statisticians struggle to find meaningful differences between most NHL goalies.
As a result I'm in favor of rather radical changes that would help teams who dominate in shots and attack time win more games, starting with expanding the net by approximately as much as goalies have improved in the last 20 years. Nine of the top ten save percentage marks in NHL history have been posted in the last five years. The only guy in the top 35 to post his mark before 2000 was Dominik Hasek, who owns five seasons in that range. There isn't a season older than 1993 in the entire top 250. This kind of goalie dominance makes hockey unsatisfyingly random.
I prefer a world were everything that goes off the post now is a goal. This gets goalie save percentages back down to a place were .900 is pretty good, differentiates the goalie pool, and makes standing around waiting for a hail of rubber a worse idea. Then gradually introduce Olympic ice in new buildings, do something to fix the wreck that is the offsides rule**, and maybe futz with goalie pads so they're more like they were back in the day—heavier, harder to cover your five-hole with, more cumbersome.
Death to plinko hockey.
*[I'm setting aside the 1946-47 Washington Capitols from Wikipedia's list since that season was considerably shorter than a regular NBA season, and it wasn't even the NBA yet.]
**[Current position: allow play to continue as long as the offsides player immediately moves to tag up at the blue line. Any other action by the player brings a whistle. There's no reason for rushes to get broken up because a guy is one foot offsides.]
With Dileo departing, an overlooked change that will take place next year is at holder. Who do you think will assume this role? My preference would be Norfleet or Peppers since I could see them executing some razzle dazzle that would lead to me dumping marinara sauce on my head in joy.
I have bad news, Mike: it's almost certainly going to be Kenny Allen, the backup punter, with an outside shot of one of the backup quarterbacks.
Dileo was uniquely qualified to be the holder because he secretes a sticky substance from his fingers that gives him super catching powers. Peppers and Norfleet are unlikely to be in Dileo's class in that department, so Michigan will replace him with someone who takes a ton of snaps as part of his daily routine. This is the way of the world.
Yeah, that change will limit Michigan's ability to fake field goals. Michigan will probably just go for it instead, which is fine.
Was wondering if you could project who you think the starting CB will be next season. I may be in a minority but I was really impressed with Jourdan Lewis.
Peter F
It's going to be tough for Lewis to fight his way past either incumbent starter, especially with Jabrill Peppers arriving on a cascade of hype, torrent of praise, and all other water-related-muchness of thing.
First, the incumbent starters. I know both Raymon Taylor and Blake Countess had issues with Tyler Lockett. This puts them in good company, as everyone who played a healthy Lockett this year got shredded. Overall Michigan finished 47th in yards per attempt and in a big pile at 23rd in interceptions despite having a mediocre-at-best pass rush. Countess and Taylor acquired ten of the seventeen interceptions, nearly all of them great plays instead of fortunate deflections. The eyeball test was pretty kind to both when in non-Lockett situations. (Also non-Indiana-tempo'd situations, which are a problem but one of a different sort than not being able to cover dudes.)
Meanwhile, the freshmen behind the starters were game but did give up a ton of yards in big chunks, whether it was because they phased out of reality or irritated the wrong gypsy. I don't think either starter is getting passed.
Then: Peppers. Historically, guys like Peppers have a breaking-in period of about half a season before emerging into a starting job late in their freshman year. Woodson, Hall, Countess, Jackson: all followed this path. With Michigan short on boundary corner types that seems like the most likely path for Peppers as well, starting the year as the third corner and gradually displacing Taylor as the season plugs along.
This doesn't leave much room for Lewis or Stribling this year. Michigan's corner depth is such that 247 is reporting that redshirt freshman Ross Douglas has been flipped to tailback despite being 5'10" and 180—the opposite of the rough and tumble brawler Michigan seems to want. While I expect both sophomores to get spot duty, a breakthrough is unlikely this time out.
Upon Further Review 2013: Defense vs MSU
FORMATION NOTES: On passing downs Michigan sometimes went with this 3-3-5-ish look with the line in a wide three-man front and the SAM hanging out next to one of the ends;
They also went with a weird wide even line against Ace, once:
M rolled down Gordon in their under early:
And occasionally split their nickel package, leaving just one LB. I called this 5-1.
Oh and on the final drive MSU pulled out an unbalanced formation with two inline TEs to the same side of the line.
Deliberately trolling Borges's unbalanced lines? Probably not, but I hope so.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Taylor, Countess, and Gordon went the whole way. When Michigan went to a nickel it was always Jourdan Lewis; Michigan also brought in Avery from time to time to spot Wilson, with iffy success.
Linebacker was the usual, except Brennen Beyer was moved to SDE, leaving SAM mostly Ryan with Cam Gordon backing; the three-man ILB rotation was still in place. Gedeon was sent to the bench again.
On the line Michigan did some weird stuff. Black(!) played nose tackle to open the game and would end up there periodically. Henry flipped between nose and three-tech; when it was Washington and Henry Michigan seemed to regard them as interchangeable. Clark went almost the whole way at WDE; very little Ojemudia. At SDE it was Beyer and some Wormley; no or very little Heitzman. Glasgow made a cameo or two.
[After THE JUMP: I mean, what did you expect?]
This Week's Obsession: What's the Matter With Kids Today?
Watch the birdie.
In my day freshmen appeared on the scene knocking down Bobby Hoying passes, shutting down Terry Glenn, and cleaving Eddie George. Then they'd switch to offense and fold Mike Vrabel in twain. What's the matter with kids today? The cast today:
- Ann-Margret as Brian Cook
- Dick Van Dyke as Seth Fisher
- Bobby Rydell as Ace Anbender
- Jesse Pearson as Brandon "Birdie" Brown
|Of the young linebackers, we've seen a lot of Bolden but not much from him. [Upchurch]
The Q:
It's an expectation (or a conceit) at Michigan that recruits follow a "track" of progression that should see them all-conference and worth drafting after four years in the program. Of the 2012 class and the few '13 guys who've seen action, who do you see as ahead of schedule, or worryingly behind?
Ace: I'm not even going to bother with the 2013 class because it's beyond too early to discuss their progression versus expectations; frankly, that's the case for the 2012 class as well, but they at least have a handful of guys who have broken through and seen extensive time.
Three players who are clearly ahead of schedule are Devin Funchess, James Ross, and Willie Henry. Funchess has gone from dangerous-but-terrible-at-blocking tight end to dangerous-and-oh-god-so-dangerous wide receiver, and he's got an NFL future even if his blocking never develops as much as we'd hope. Ross has had an up-and-down year but still has a stranglehold on the weakside LB starting job; he's a future all-conference player once he adds a little more weight to take on blocks—his instincts are already there. Henry's initial expectations weren't as high as the other two, nor has he played at their level consistently, but he's easily exceeded expectations for a late three-star pickup just by seeing the field and holding his own.
[Jump like a Funchess]
Upon Further Review 2013: Defense vs Indiana
FORMATION NOTES: Michigan spent every snap in their nickel. This was fairly typical.
That also shows what I called "shotgun triangle" for IU. Wynn is lined up in the backfield behind the QB, but it's shotgun depth, not pistol. Wynn would always motion out after a hand-wave from the QB; this was always a decoy.
Michigan did show a few okie packages. This is Okie two; I designate them by the number of safeties.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Boatloads. Avery went back to safety and spotted Gordon and Wilson from time to time. This led to a lot of Stribling and Lewis, as Michigan played every snap in their nickel. Countess and Taylor did not leave the field, IIRC.
At linebacker the usual Ross/Morgan/Bolden rotation saw Ben Gedeon join. The line was the usual profusion of bodies. Clark or Ojemudia was usually one end with one of Beyer/Ryan/CGordon the other. On the interior, Washington, Black, Wormley, Henry and Heitzman seemed to split snaps almost evenly. Glasgow also got in some.

There Will Be Bombs
10/19/2013 – Michigan 63, Indiana 47 – 6-1, 2-1 Big Ten
Jake Butt's block gets Devin Funchess cupcake dog eyes. [Eric Upchurch]
Chris Tucker! Jackie Chan!
Autobots! Decepticons!
Someone mentions that 67-65 Illinois game!
And he gets thwacked!
This is Michigan!
I have confirmed this with people who do not care about Michigan football that much: that was not a collective fever dream brought on by the stress of the Penn State game. It happened, because Indiana is #1 in Big Ten offense and #546th in total defense. A team that put up 42 on them last week waddled towards their first and only offensive touchdown halfway through the fourth quarter of a game against Purdue. They gave up 35 to Indiana State while torching those guys for 70 points. They walloped Penn State by 20. Adam Jacobi has taken to calling the Hoosiers #CHAOSTEAM because at any moment they will break you or be broken themselves, leaving seven points and a flaming wagon wheel in their wake.
Pick literally any stat about offense you want and laugh. Indiana first downs: 28! Michigan's average gain: 9.0 yards! Indiana time of possession in a third quarter in which they scored 23 points: six minutes! Devin Gardner YPA: 17.3! Number of Indiana receivers with catches of at least 20 yards: 5!
This purports to be the same sport that Michigan played against Minnesota. I say it is not. I say it was a test pilot for TV executives from a dystopian future looking for something that will distract the masses from their slave-like drudgery in the fur mines. It was wildly successful. I barely remember anything about my day to day life in the fur mines.
In the aftermath, no one knows if anything means anything. Our ears are still ringing, shrapnel still falling, ham fragments scattered in the front yard. One of the children is walking with a limp and tilting his head funny in a way that seems worryingly permanent. The oil derrick is on fire.
In these situations it's hard to tease out judgments, especially when last week your offense was a few deep balls to Funchess and pain and your defense seemed rather good. A week later, Michigan's setting program records for total offense and getting eviscerated on the other side of the ball.
We had this debate last week about Raymon Taylor and now it's writ large: can any part of this team decide whether it sucks or it is awesome? Lewan and Gallon excepted, it seems like everything Michigan does is prone to insane swings. On the player level, hey look it's Devin Gardner, who explodes in all directions. Or Taylor, who was repeatedly roasted one game after having an awesome interception and was the primary hand in shutting down Allen Robinson for 3.99 quarters. Or Dennis Norfleet, who had an electric juke-you-out-of-your jock kickoff return and an electric reverse-field-twice-and-get-tackled-at-the-nine kickoff return. Even previously consistent Brendan Gibbons is now two for his last five with two line-drive blocks.
On the unit level, the defense waxes between perforated against Akron to crushing against UConn and Minnesota and most of the Penn State game. The offense nukes Notre Dame, nukes itself against Akron and UConn, reconfigures itself into a dump truck to out-dump-truck Minnesota, is bombs and turnovers and pain against Penn State, and then rewrites the record book this weekend. On a team level… well, you saw the Akron and UConn games. Michigan's quite a CHAOSTEAM itself.
Meanwhile, the opponent. In the second half, Michigan's game plan seemed to be max-protect pass after max-protect pass on which Funchess and Gallon would wander out in different variations of deep routes. Indiana would cover Funchess; Gallon would engage his cloaking device to become improbably open, then catch a ball and run for many yards. At some point in the second half, Gallon had already broken the Big Ten all-time receiving mark and one of these two man routes found him open by literally twenty yards.
Jeremy Gallon has three hundred receiving yards and the defense is blowing a coverage on him.
Blow a coverage on everybody else! Penn State intentionally blew a coverage and got an interception out of it! Are you recent immigrants from Malaysia? Do you think this is… Malaysiaball? I need Michigan to score a touchdown here and I am still slightly angry at you, Indiana. Incompetence so vast is a thing to behold, but how are you supposed to take this performance and extrapolate anything from it? It exists in a different world from football; it is for dystopian future distractions.
I probably shouldn't be looking for life lessons after that in any case. It's my natural inclination to search for What It Means For The Future after playing Indiana, since for my entire life as a Michigan fan Indiana games have been speed bumps on route to games Michigan might actually lose. This is a bad instinct after a game that will be That Indiana Game for the rest of time.
Here we should set those things aside and align ourselves in repose. Whatever just happened has no bearing on the future. Lay back, let your feet flop open, and breathe. Our neck muscles and inner ears could use the rest.
I'M FINISHED [Upchurch]
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. That Jeremy Gallon's epic, Michigan and Big Ten record-setting performance has the whisper of a challenge here is testament to the ridiculousness of this game. Even though Devin Gardner set some Michigan records of his own, Gallon's the guy.
Honorable mention: Gardner, obviously. Thomas Gordon's interception was the biggest defensive play of the day, by some distance. The line kept Gardner clean for long stretches.
Epic Double Point Standings.
2.0: Jeremy Gallon (ND, Indiana)
1.0: Devin Gardner (ND), Desmond Morgan(UConn), Devin Funchess(Minnesota), Frank Clark(PSU)
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. After a couple weeks during which it was a stretch to pick anything, here the problem is paring it down form an explosion symphony to a quartet. Or singlet. Whatever. Music things!
But there is a pretty obvious item: Thomas Gordon undercutting a badly-thrown deep ball to intercept moments after Devin Gardner had fumbled a snap on the two yard line. Indiana got to the line instantly, caught Raymon Taylor off guard, seemingly had burned him for yet another immense touchdown, and Sudfeld left it short. A catch and return later, Michigan was once again in position to regain possession of the two-possession lead that was the only thing between Michigan fans and mass chaos. More mass chaos, anyway.
Honorable mention: Gallon catches ball, Gallon catches ball, Gallon catches ball, Gallon catches ball. Etc. Gardner scrambles, gets flipped into the endzone. Funchess leaps damn near out of the stadium to near the endzone in the second half.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.
8/31/2013: Dymonte Thomas introduces himself by blocking a punt.
9/7/2013: Jeremy Gallon spins through four Notre Dame defenders for a 61-yard touchdown.
9/14/2013: Michigan does not lose to Akron. Thanks, Thomas Gordon.
9/21/2013: Desmond Morgan's leaping one-handed spear INT saves Michigan's bacon against UConn.
10/5/2013: Fitzgerald Toussaint runs for ten yards, gets touchdown rather easily.
10/12/2013: Devin Funchess shoots up the middle of the field to catch a 40 yard touchdown, staking Michigan to a ten-point lead they wouldn't relinquish. (Right?)
10/19/2013: Thomas Gordon picks off an Indiana pass to end the Hoosiers' last drive that could have taken the lead.
[After THE JUMP: Gallon catches ball, Gallon catches ball, Gallon catches ball.]

GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner handed Gov. Pat Quinn some high-powered ammunition last week -- an attack ad full of altered or fake headlines that's drawing widespread criticism. The ad was supposed to make Quinn look bad, but instead Rauner ended up with egg on his face.
Rauner's campaign made it worse by defending the ad. Pulling the ad would have been the appropriate response.
It's unfortunate because this problem, in addition to being self-inflicted, was so unnecessary.
Preying on the marginally informed is deceptive. There are plenty of legitimate ways to attack Quinn's record as governor -- on jobs, the economy, taxes, leadership for starters -- without running an ad that called into question Rauner's own truthfulness. Credibility is so important to voters; once a candidate compromises it, it is difficult to rebuild it.

text: Social MySpace CEO tries to explain why he isn't surrendering to Facebook November 18, 2010 1:15 PM Anthony Ha 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. MySpace and Facebook held a joint online press conference today where they announced a new integration using Facebook's social data. Prior to the event, TechCrunch's Mike Arrington described it as a "formal surrender ceremony," but MySpace chief executive Mike Jones responded that it just reflects MySpace's new focus. "MySpace is very committed to the new strategy of social entertainment," Jones said. In other words, Jones suggested that MySpace has more or less given up on competing directly with Facebook to be your primary social network. Instead, it wants to be a site where users can consume media that's tailored to their interests. Specifically, MySpace announced a new product called Mashup with Facebook, where MySpace uses Facebook Connect to import the books, movies, music, and TV shows that you said you liked on Facebook. MySpace then builds customized a page for you around those preferences. The feature will be rolling out to users today. Mashup with Facebook doesn't seem to reflect a big change in the relationship between the two companies. Instead, it continues the direction that MySpace has pursued for a while. The News Corp-owned site has made it pretty clear that it's trying to focus on media and content as a way to avoid competing directly with Facebook. Hence the announcement in August that MySpace users could cross-post their status updates onto Facebook. And hence the "social entertainment" focus of the new redesign. It's not surprising Facebook seems pretty pleased with MySpace's new direction. "From our perspective, we've always been a big believer in focused innovation," said Dan Rose, the company's vice president of partnership and platform marketing. "This is a great example of MySpace's new direction which is very focused on entertainment." Speaking of the redesign, I asked Jones how it's going. He said the redesign has only been live for all users for a few days, but that "the core MySpace audience" does seem to be visiting more frequently. Jones added that with the redesign, MySpace is also developing new measurements to judge user engagement. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition: Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

So I have now put 16 hours into this game and thought that I would let you all know my thoughts on it.
1: It's not as bad as the yelling on the internet would have you believe. Are there bugs, yeah, for me personally it has been at about the same level of jank as Skyrim at launch, less than fallout 3. If you wanna wait until it is on a steam sale 3-4 months from now, that is probably the best course of action. The same situation with the performance. I have a rig that really should be getting more out of it, but it looks good and the framerate is never so low that it is felt.
2: They have changed that game from the previous games in the series. It is far easier to get into, still is more than a bit confusing in places but again, in 3-4 months it will just be a case of looking at a wiki when you are playing to explain the systems a bit better. Once you begin to understand what things do and why, it is actually not to bad. The best analogy that I can think of is Crusader Kings 2/Europa Universalis 4.
3: I have having fun with it even with the issues that it has. I enjoy establishing some profitable trade routes, upgrading my ship, fighting pirates and so one so forth and it is relatively solid in all these things. Even if you don't like trading, you are more than able to make enough money to do everything that you need from doing combat missions i.e. protect this space station, blow up this capital ship ect, and the oposite is also true.
In short, if you are casually interested in a space sim game, I would wait a few months for it to be on sale then I would say go for it. If you are hardcore about space sims, you probably already own it.

Jimbo sat behind me, and patted me on the back with his heavy tomahawk of a paw.
They decide to adopt a stray cat, paw paw, in the hopes that it will fill the void in their relationship.
But there are some compelling reasons to view the advantages that ruling gave the GOP in 2010 as something of a monkey's paw.
c.1300, from Old French powe, poe "paw, fist," of uncertain origin. Evidence points to a Gallo-Romance root form *pauta which probably is related to the source of patten.
"use the hands roughly," c.1600, from paw (n.). Related: Pawed; pawing. Middle English had pawen "to touch or strike with the paw" (c.1400).

How I spend my winter holidays
I'd like to tell you about my winter holidays.
As for me I like winter holidays very much, because they are rather long and very funny.It's so nice to have a rest from school.It's usually very cold in winter.There are much snow and strong frost in winter. But this winter was not usual.There were not frost, snow and cold.
I hadn't opportunity to play hockey, to skate, to ski, to play snowballs and to make a snowman.That's why I think that winter was not real.In spite of it I had a wonderful winter holidays.This winter holidays began on the 30th of December and ended on the 16th of January.
It was nice to stay in bad a bit longer and not to hurry anywhere.I spend much time with my friends.
Sometimes we went for a walk, sometimes we stayed at home and watched TV and played computer games.On holidays our basketball team went to Kremenchug on competitions.Every day after games we went for a walk in the town.There are a lot of places of interest which we visited.I enjoyed my traveling.On my winter holidays I celebrated the New Year Eve, Christmas and Old New Year.
There was New Year party in our school.
It was very interesting and funny.
Before New Year I with my sister decorated a New Year tree with toys and lights.I think that New Year is a family holiday.That's why I celebrated it with my parents and sister.We had a big dinner with a wide selection of tasty food.When the clock struck 12, we drank shampane and wished each other "Happy New Year.I was happy to get presents from my parents.On the 7th of January my family celebrated Christmas.This holiday symbolize the birth of Jesus Christ.It is religious origin.So people usually go to church on this holiday. Christmas traditions are observed in my family. That's why my mother prepared a festive dinner, which contained 12 dishes.They were milkless and meatless. It is a custom that the main dishes on Christmas are kutya, varenyky, holubtsy, salted fish and others.Most of dishes are national and special; they contain many fruits and vegetables.
Before Christmas I went to my relatives and broad them a "Holy supper.There are some other festivals in Ukraine such as Old New Year, which is celebrated on the 14th of January, and epiphany, which is celebrated on the 19th of January.We are lucky to celebrate New Year Eve twice.In whole I am satisfied with my winter holidays.I had a good time and rest.

|вот про мой любимый Южный Парк
Television plays an important role for everyone in modern society. We can't imagine our life without interesting movies and TV-programs. So I sit in front of television at leisure.
One of my favourite Tv-programs is the South Park.It's a cartoon. The central chatacters are four guys: Kenny McCormick, Kyle Broflovski Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman. They are just 4th-graders. South Park is is also culturally relevant with its surprising stances on many controversial issues in today's society. In many episodes from recent seasons, the show depicts the fictional town as being divided between the "red-neck conservative" and "hippie liberal" factions, or the adults drastically overreact when something bad happens.Every time it's up to the kids, mainly Stan and Kyle (who are based off of the show's creators), to provide the level-headedness and logical thinking to fix the situation.Take, for example, the episode "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow," made in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.In this episode, a large beaver dam breaks and floods the town of Beaverton, leaving the citizens of Beaverton stranded.Much like what happened with Katrina, the people of South Park were too preoccupied with trying to figure out who to blame for the flood instead of going in to help save people.There are more episodes like this one that focus on issues such as gay marriage, hate crimes and religious and racial tolerance to name a few.They all have the same basic message: people today are ridiculous.We are too busy fighting each other, trying to reveal each other as idiots instead of doing what really matters and working together to fix our problems.If anything, this show teaches us to laugh at ourselves and brings us down to earth by helping us realize how ridiculous we can be.The show has taken a lot of heat in the past because of the way they make fun of people, such as liberals, conservatives, gays, Catholics, Jews, Mormons, blacks, whites and Hispanics.The way they lampoon everybody and anything just reminds us that no one is perfect. So after hard working or studying day, I advise you to sit in front of your telly(TV), relax and switch on South Park. You won't regret.

Press release from Marketwire
Parex Resources Announces 2012 Budget
Monday, December 05, 2011
Parex Resources Announces 2012 Budget08:50 EST Monday, December 05, 2011CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Dec. 5, 2011) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESParex Resources Inc. ("Parex" or the "Company") (TSX:PXT), a company focused on oil exploration and production in Colombia and Trinidad, announces its 2012 guidance. All amounts below are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated. Parex 2012 Budget Summary Building on our 2011 operational and exploration success, Parex currently plans a self funding 2012 capital investment program of $230-$275 million for exploration and development operations in Colombia and Trinidad resulting in a 2012 production exit rate of approximately 17,000 bopd.Key highlights:High Colombia operating netback production provides for a self-funding capital program and exit rate production growth of 20 percent; Exploration activities across seven Colombia Llanos Basin blocks; Focused program to test high impact onshore Trinidad prospects; and Balance sheet strength to capitalize on new business opportunities. A summary of the 2012 capital plans is provided below:# Wells PlannedCapex (Net $ million)GrossNetDrillingFacilities & SeismicCapex TotalColombia20-2520-23165-18525-35190-220Trinidad5-103-730-4010-1540-55Parex Total25-3523-30195-22535-50230-275In addition to an exploration program that accesses Parex' 814,000 gross acres in Colombia's Llanos Basin, the Company is budgeting for a comprehensive exploration program in onshore Trinidad, targeting high impact prospects in the Central Range and Moruga blocks. The 2012 capital program is expected to be fully funded from funds flow from operations. Additionally, Parex could increase its 2012 program through accessing its existing $78 million of working capital(1). During the second quarter of 2012, Parex expects to provide a forecast of 2012 average production for its Colombia operation after evaluating the dry season (typically Dec-March) exploratory drilling results. The Colombian production average has inherent uncertainty due to its exploration focus and seasonal constraints impacting timing of exploration work.Colombia 2012 Capital Program Outlook During 2012 Parex plans to drill 20-25 gross wells on seven blocks across its Colombian portfolio. The number of wells drilled and the split between exploration and appraisal/delineation is heavily dependent on timing of regulatory approvals, seasonal variability and drilling success. 2012 Colombia Drilling ProgramLLA-16LLA-20LLA-29LLA-30LLA-57Los OcarrosEl EdenTotal# of gross wells8-103-41-2421-2120-25During 2012, we plan on maintaining our current drilling activity by operating three drilling rigs and one service rig on a continuous basis. The range of capital investment reflects the exploration focus of the Company's operations in Colombia. Trinidad 2012 Capital Program Outlook In 2012 Parex is embarking on an expanded Trinidad exploration program. The Company has budgeted to operate with two newly imported rigs and drill 5-10 wells, for which regulatory approval has been received for four wells. The planned 2012 exploration program includes drilling on the Central Range Block ("CRB") and on the Moruga Block as summarized below. 2012 Trinidad Drilling ProgramMorugaCRB ShallowCRB DeepTotal# of gross wells2-51-325-10Parex has entered into an agreement to purchase an additional 33.8 percent interest in the Moruga Block for approximately $10 million. Upon closing, Parex' working interest in the Moruga Block would be 83.8 percent. The Company is currently importing a drilling rig which is expected to mobilize on the Moruga Block Firecrown location during December 2011.2012 Outlook Key Assumptions Key assumptions underlining the 2012 capital program are:Oil prices remain approximately WTI $90/bbl and Brent $105/bbl; Operating netback(2) of $65/bbl; Colombia effective tax rate on cash flow of less than or equal to 20 percent; and Regulatory and partner approvals are obtained at a similar pace to 2011 in Colombia and are obtained in a timely manner in Trinidad. An updated corporate presentation has been posted at http://www.parexresources.com/sites/default/files/presentations.pdf.Operation Update With the recent production addition of Kona-9, the current light oil production is approximately 13,000 bopd, on-track to achieve the exit rate guidance of 14,000 bopd. In addition:Drilling operations have begun on Trinidad CRB Mapepire prospect; Kona Norte-2 water disposal well was dual zone completed and tested oil in the Mirador Formation; Merida exploration well is drilling at 10,500 feet; Supremo-2 well drilled and awaiting testing; Kona-7 has has cored the Mirador Formation and is being drilled to TD in the Gacheta formation prior to running casing; and Civil work on LLA-16 exploration prospect Java and LLA-20 prospect Cumbre is progressing. Corporate Overview Parex, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production in South America and the Caribbean region. Parex is conducting exploration activities on its 814,000 acre holdings in the Llanos Basin of Colombia and 223,500 acre holdings onshore Trinidad. Parex is headquartered in Calgary, Canada.This news release does not constitute an offer to sell securities, nor is it a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, in any jurisdiction. GAAP and Non-GAAP Terms Effective January 1, 2011, Parex adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Corporation's interim consolidated financial statements and the 2010 comparative information has been prepared under IFRS which are generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for publically accountable enterprises in Canada. Funds flow used in, or from operations, cash flow, working capital, operating netback per barrel and total net debt may from time to time be used by the Company, but do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and Canadian GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Funds flow used in, or from operations includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital. Funds flow used in operations is reconciled with comprehensive net income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Funds flow per share is calculated by dividing funds flow used in, or from operations by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Working capital includes current assets less current liabilities. Operating netback per barrel equals sales revenue, less royalties, production expense and transportation expense, divided by total equivalent sales volume. Total net debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as the sum of working capital less the convertible debentures (excluding the derivative financial liability associated with the convertible debentures). The principal amount of the convertible debentures is CDN$85 million. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for its own performance measurement and to provide shareholders and investors with additional measurements of the Company's efficiency and its ability to fund a portion of its future growth expenditures.Advisory on Forward Looking Statements Certain information regarding Parex set forth in this document contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The use of any of the words "plan", "expect", "prospective", "project", "intend", "believe", "should", "anticipate", "estimate" or other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements represent Parex's internal projections, estimates or beliefs concerning, among other things, future growth, results of operations, production, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), competitive advantages, plans for and results of drilling activity, environmental matters, business prospects and opportunities. These statements are only predictions and actual events or results may differ materially. Although the Company's management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement since such expectations are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors could cause Parex' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Parex. In particular, forward-looking statements contained in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the performance characteristics of the Company's oil properties; supply and demand for oil; financial and business prospects and financial outlook; results of drilling and testing, results of operations; drilling plans; activities to be undertaken in various areas; capital plans in Colombia and exit rate production; plans to acquire and process 3-D seismic; timing of drilling and completion; and planned capital expenditures and the timing thereof. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are by their nature forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. The recovery and reserve estimates of Parex' reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions in Canada, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including adoption of new environmental laws and regulations, and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, in Canada, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago; competition; lack of availability of qualified personnel; the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities; obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities, in Canada, Colombia and Trinidad & Tobago; risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country risk associated with conducting international activities; volatility in market prices for oil; fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates; environmental risks; changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive programs relating to the oil industry; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; the risks that any estimate of potential net oil pay is not based upon an estimate prepared or audited by an independent reserves evaluator; that there is no certainty that any portion of the hydrocarbon resources will be discovered, or if discovered that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion thereof; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could effect Parex's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com). Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon assumptions which Management believes to be reasonable, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, Parex has made assumptions regarding: current commodity prices and royalty regimes; availability of skilled labour; timing and amount of capital expenditures; future exchange rates; the price of oil; the impact of increasing competition; conditions in general economic and financial markets; availability of drilling and related equipment; effects of regulation by governmental agencies; receipt of all required approvals for the Acquisition; royalty rates, future operating costs, and other matters. Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information provided in this document in order to provide shareholders with a more complete perspective on Parex's current and future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Parex's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits Parex will derive there from. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and Parex disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws.

Is it illegal for an employer to ask an applicant for his or her Facebook password as a condition of employment? That's a hot question these days. In my last post, I explained that two U.S. Senators recently asked this very question to the Department of Justice. Specifically, they want to know whether this very unpopular practice violates the Stored Communications Act (SCA) or the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. As described in my last post, the practice may constitute a violation of the SCA.
Are there other possible claims? Perhaps. One possible claim that comes to mind is tortious interference with contract. In Delaware, a claim for tortious interference with contract requires four elements. Let's run through them and see whether a claim could be made.
First, there must be a valid contract. This is questionable but it is at least arguable that Facebook has a contract with each of its users. If we agree that a contract does exist, then the Terms of Use are the terms that govern that contract. And one of the Terms of Use is that the user agrees not to share his password.
Second, the "interferer" must have knowledge of the contract. I think it would be difficult to conclude that an employer does not know that Facebook's Terms of Use provide that a user should not share his password. Thus, the employer has knowledge of the contract.
Third, the interfering party must intentionally interfere that induces or causes a breach of the contract. By asking that a candidate provide turn over his password, is an employer intentionally inducing the candidate to breach his contract with Facebook? Certainly seems that way.
Fourth, and finally, there must be damages. In other words, the candidate must be harmed by the interference. And here, my friend, is where our winning streak comes to an end. Damages? No, there are none.
I think you'd be hard pressed to show that you were damaged by sharing your Facebook password. Remember, it's not the failure to hire that counts here--it's the act that induces the breach of contract. And, in our scenario, the act that induces the breach is the act of "requesting" a candidate's Facebook password. Trying to establish damages is a tall order that, in my opinion, would be difficult, if not impossible, to satisfy.

Which gluten-free Flour Is Closest To Regular Flour
Posted 10 November 2007 - 06:21 PM

Posted 10 November 2007 - 06:32 PM
I always mix my own all-purpose flour, and I use Betty Hangman's blend- 2 parts rice flour, 2/3 cornstarch/potato starch, 1/3 tapioca starch. I go to that effort because it's less expensive.
But I've also had excellent results using Gluten Free Pantry's Beth's All Purpose Flour Blend. I have seen it available in bulk.

Bette Hagman�s Featherlite Rice Flour mix
Makes 9 C
3 C rice flour
3 C tapioca flour
3 C cornstarch
3 T Potato flour
This works great in recipes that call for "flour". I also use 1 tsp xanthan for every 1.5 C flour!

Thanx It would be nice to be able to just buy 1 bag of flour instead of mixing but whatever works the best then I'm there. I'm tired to trying recipes only for them to fail. I will try this combo in my next batch of cookies.
Maze, it's kind of a given that a lot of hte gluten-free stuff you make at first will be scary and inedible. Someone actually made a joke about having a perfect score tossing things from the oven to the trash. Don't worry, things will get better. Maybe you could share some of the recipes that haven't worked out for you and we could take a gander at them?

And adding the xanthan gum when using yeast.
Of course, last week I mixed Teff, white rice and tapioca and corn starch and it worked GREAT! Almost had a "wheat" taste to it...and on the first two days a wheat texture too.

I now use a combo of sorghum flour, potato starch and tapioca starch as a base for most yeast recipes, and it's more wheat-like than rice. I also use Bob's Red Mill mix or Pamela's Baking Mix for non-yeast recipes. I add almond flour (meal) or hazelnut meal to things for extra fiber and I add flax meal to baked goods. I've started to experiment with teff flour and would like to use amaranth too.
Good luck and happy baking!

We have been on a gluten-free diet since March of this year. Thank goodness I cook and bake however, I am having a terrible time converting recipes. I'm polish and we use alot of noodle and bread recipes. I used to make biscuits, pierogi, and such and I tried recipe after recipe with no luck. Is there 1 gluten-free flour that I can puchase in bulk that will substitute for the real deal or will I have to continue to combine flours? Also, can someone explain xanthum gum and how do you measure for the recipes. I appreciate any and all help!!!!! I bake alot at Christmas but this year I'm not looking forward.
I too am fairly new and a baker at heart (bakingbarb!) so this does take some getting used to. THere is a thread on baking tips, read that. Lots of people give really good advice.
The thing I have learned the best is use your cookie recipes but sub the gluten-free flour and add the xanthan gum BUT most importantly freeze the cookie dough it works the best.
Someone posted a recipe for flourless peanut butter choc chip cookies, it comes from Epicurious.
I am looking at recipes that naturally call for small amount of flour such as many cake recipes, the best to sub out I am thinking are the ones that call for cake flour.
There is much out there for info, so good luck. But I will say, we have lots to learn. This baking isn't the same and you have to relearn much.

YIPPEE for Gluten free

I'm polish and we use alot of noodle and bread recipes. I used to make biscuits, pierogi, and such and I tried recipe after recipe with no luck. Is there 1 gluten-free flour that I can puchase in bulk that will substitute for the real deal or will I have to continue to combine flours? Also, can someone explain xanthum gum and how do you measure for the recipes. I appreciate any and all help!!!!! I bake alot at Christmas but this year I'm not looking forward.
I like the basic recipe of 3 C Brown Rice flour, 1 C Potato Starch, 1/2 C Tapioca Starch and 2 tsp. Xanthan Gum. Sift together 3 times to get the xanthan gum evenly distributed. I use this for just about everything. (Sometimes I add more xanthan gum, like for Pelmini, or use a bit of bean flour, like for pizza crust.) I mix up 3-4 batches of this flour and store it in a gallon container in the refrigerator, then use it cup for cup for all-purpose flour. It's way cheaper than buying bags of pre-mixed flours.
Here's my recipe for Pelmini dough. Pelmini are the Russian equivilant of Pierogi.
1-1/4 C Brown Rice Flour
1/2 C Potato Starch
1/4 C Tapioca Flour
generous 2-1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
1 Tbs. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2+ C Water
Sift dry ingredients 3 times. Add oil and water. You will probably need to add a little more water, but do it slowly. Stir until dough forms a ball. Make sure it is not dry! It should be smooth and almost creamy. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out on board dusted with Tapioca flour.

Bloomin' great as Black Country scoops awards in top Midlands contest
Posted: September 21, 2013|
THE Black Country has proved once more that it is a green and pleasant land by scooping a host of prizes at this year's Heart of England in Bloom Awards.
The award ceremony was held last Thursday (12th September) and Black Country towns, parks and schools once again walked away with top prizes.
Heart of England in Bloom is the regional element of the Britain in Bloom Campaign organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, which encourages communities to work together to improve and enhance their local environment.
The Heart of England in Bloom region covers a wide area, from Gloucestershire to North Staffordshire, and includes Birmingham and the Black Country, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
Chairman of Heart of England in Bloom, Mike Garwood said "Everyone is proud to be involved with 'In Bloom' which is one of the largest horticultural campaigns in Europe and even more so when they receive their prestigious awards!"
Understandably, the Black Country did best in the Urban Community Category, which was won outright by Moseley in Bloom, with gold awards going to Aldridge in Bloom, Bilston in Bloom and Bloxwich in Bloom, and Darlaston Town Centre Partnership and Willenhall in Bloom receiving silver awards.
Stourbridge in Bloom won a gold award in the Small City Category, which was jointly won by Shrewsbury and Tamworth, and Wolverhampton City Council received a gold award in the Large City Category.
The School Involvement in Heart of England Bloom Award went to Watling Street Primary School in Brownhills and the Quadron Heart of England in Bloom Grounds Maintenance Award was won by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council for Stevens Park, Wollescote, and Mary Stevens Park in Stourbridge.
