Assessing Computers on a Network: Sharing ONE folder ONLY?
Hello Apple Geniuses,
I can successfully connect/share my 3 computers that is connected on the same Wi-Fi home network. To be specific, I have one Mac and two Windows computers connected and sharing folders on the same network.
I can access my Mac from Windows and vice versa. However, there is one characteristic I do not like when I share from my Mac. In other words, view my Mac folders FROM a WINDOWS PC. My Mac shares more folders than I want it to. Sure, I can share a single Mac folder from desktop to my Windows computer but I cannot restrict all the OTHER folders (movies, pictures, documents, music) that is inevitably shared with Windows, as it seems.
When I access Windows from my Mac, I can only access ONE folder from Windows. I typically create that single Windows folder on desktop known as 'My Sharing Folder'. That's how I want my Mac to be. Limited to the files or folders that I manually elect to share.
Thanks in advance
Here's the deal.
If you connect to your Windows computer by IP as a local administrator using the CMD + K option in the Finder you will only see the one share. If you specify another location such as:
SMB://windows.pc.ip.address/C$ eg SMB://192.168.1.10/C$
You will see the whole C: drive.
Just like connecting to a Mac as an admin user you'll see Macintosh HD.
The assumption is that if you are connecting to a remote computer as a specified user, it gives you access to everything that user would have access to.
You can create a "Sharing" only account on the Mac which would then allow you to specify a folder to which to allow the account to have access. Perhaps in the /Users/Shared folder.
Is there a step-by-step guide anywhere on the web that shows this?
I have tried but I hit a brick wall
You already have a single shared folder available on your Mac RIGHT NOW. It's the only folder available when a PC connects to your Mac unless you change things. It's called "Public" and it is located in each User account. To make it available on the network, just turn on File Sharing.
Whether I have a single sharing folder or not, my Mac seems to share that and all the videos, music, documents and videos folder too.
Never mind. I have downloaded Dropbox to share files between Windows and Mac at home. I guess that method asked prior is ancient history. The process is complex and troublesome.
Does anyone know if DropBox will work anywhere in the world?
For example, if I was to take this laptop to another country, can I share files with my brother back at home? I'm thinking the answer should be 'yes'.

Wow! You made some major progress in 6 weeks! I'm half way to that point How are you doing now, 4+ months later? I've been looking to see how things change over the long-haul, because I need some serious motivation to keep me sane throughout this whole process! Also, your skin looks MUCH less dry in these photos.
So far I haven't had any peeling, but I'm only on Ziana which is 0.025%

Thomas emerges as N.C. State's starting QB in 40-14 win
N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren had been secretive about who would start at quarterback in Saturday's season opener against Louisiana Tech, not publicly announcing his decision until gametime.
Arkansas graduate transfer Brandon Mitchell got the nod and immediately impressed, completing each of his three passes for 93 yards while leading the Wolfpack to scoring drives on its first two possessions.
But Mitchell went down with a foot injury on his third series and didn't return, putting a damper on a 40-14 win for N.C. State in Doeren's debut. Mitchell broke a bone in his foot and is expected to miss at least four weeks.
Colorado State junior transfer Pete Thomas, who Mitchell beat out in preseason camp, was next in line, one of four Wolfpack quarterbacks who took their first snaps Saturday.
"Coach always preaches, 'Next man up,'" said Thomas, who finished 15-of-27 for 212 yards with one interception. "You have to be ready to do your job. Brandon is a great competitor, a great friend. But when Coach called my number, I just had to be ready and just help the team any way I can."
A pair of freshmen also lined up under center for N.C. State. New Bern's Josh Taylor was 0-for-1 passing and Jefferson, Ga. native Bryant Shirreffs didn't attempt a pass, but ran for 35 yards.
None of the N.C. State quarterbacks connected for touchdowns although receivers Rashard Smith, a senior, and freshman Marquez Valdes-Scantling had 82 and 87 yards receiving, respectively.
Doeren said he opted for Mitchell because of the things he can do with his feet. Mitchell ran for 19 yards including a scamper of 10 yards before exiting.
"Obviously, that's not something I planned on, but it worked good for us I guess," Doeren said of playing four quarterbacks. "I'm real proud of Pete. He came in and did what he needed to do."
Johnson expected to see time under center Saturday despite losing the starting job earlier this week. He said his preparation in practice won't change any now that Mitchell is out.
Valdes-Scantling, one of 11 true freshman to see action for N.C. State, had four catches with a long reception of 26 yards.
"It doesn't even matter," Valdes-Scantling said about the uncertainty at quarterback. "Any quarterback that we have is good. The redshirts, the walk-ons — anybody. They all can throw and we all accept them as our quarterback. We just go out there and play."
Weston, Fla. freshman Matt Dayes led the Wolfpack with 86 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Tony Creecy added another score on the ground with last year's leading rusher Shadrach Thornton out on a one-game suspension.
Former East Carolina head coach Skip Holtz also made his debut for Louisiana Tech. Holtz went 16-21 at South Florida before replacing Sonny Dykes in Ruston, La.
The Bulldogs had four turnovers Saturday, three of which came in the first half as N.C. State took a 24-7 lead into halftime.
The Wolfpack hosts FCS opponent Richmond next week.

Posts Tagged 'rathemc'
This site has been behind RAtheMC for a good time now and it's amazing to see how far she has come. She's by far my favorite female rapper and shows great musical breadth. RA can go from smooth melodies to a hard, no-holding-back flow in an instant and works each end naturally, so I suggest you get acquainted if you haven't yet. "Intoxicated" will be off of her debut album, Heart Of A Champion, and shows off that broadness I just mentioned. RA spits about coming up in DC and DC itself, and brings some vivid lines backed by authentic emotion. The beat is also one of the smoothest things I've heard all summer, allowing her singing voice to glide on top of it. Check out her Trending Topics mixtape while you're at it and don't sleep.

Back to business for me, I have been irregular with the posts for a little bit but it is time to recommit myself to it. I will start with this song too that has been massively slept on by the blogs and I am not sure why but I will happily deliver it to you all. RA is one of my favorite artists I have come across during the couple of years this site has been up and this one showcases her message and lyrical ability that gives hope to the legit female MCs. I have no idea what the placement is for the track but my fingers are crossed for a new project.
Download: RAtheMC – "Anniversary"
Damn I didn't even know about this mixtape until RA put it up on her blog the other day. The tape consists of a bunch of DMV underground artists like RA, Nando and Badio and more artists that I haven't heard of but am willing to give a shot. RA destroys the mic on this one too and comes with a ferocious flow that few rappers of any gender could match. When she goes in you can hear the passion oozing from the mic that I haven't heard before from many artists. Shouts to her too for the recently announced signing with Studio 43 too, it is well deserved.

EDIT: I was initially going to only post the song above featuring RAtheMC and K-Beta called "Same As We Ever Was" but the mixtape dropped before the post.
Man was I wrong to think that they might be sampling the Talking Heads' song "Same As It Ever Was", it wasn't even close. Thad drops his second single from his project and he brings along some fellow DMVers for the ride. His first song "Owww" was hot according to DJBooth and will have to scoop it up and take a listen for myself. This is from his mixtape dropping today called Target Practice and I will put that link up here whenever I get it. Grab the tape, song and tracklist all below the break.
What's up everybody and I hope all our US readers had a good President's/Valentine's Day weekend and per usual it is time to get back to work. A couple weeks ago the DMV producer Judah released an instrumental tape focused around the theme of Kanye's girlfriend, Amber Rose. DMV spitters RAtheMC (whose song "Brenda" is above) and Tabi Bonney each picked a song and remixed them by adding vocals and RA even made the typically short songs from the project longer. The tape initially slipped through the cracks here at B&B but to rectify the situation we are posting these songs as well as the tape download below the break.

It's been an internet minute since we heard from RA but seeing as she is my favorite female artist in the game you know just about anything she does will get put up on B&B. This is a quick freestyle over a Kanye beat as she describes below.
Personally, I don't and have never liked Keyshia in the least but I am glad to hear someone doing something worthwhile over it.
First we gave you the Jams but now it is time for the hip-hop gems. I said in the previous post that the past couple days I came up with the idea to post a few mixes that sum up my year in music. These joints are all songs that were some of the more solid underground songs that I listened to this past year and deserve more shine. A number of my favorite new artists are on there and this is another mix that is pretty damn complete. Look out for our final installment of rock songs which should drop over the next couple days. Link and tracklist are below the break and everyone have a happy and safe New Year!
Sorry for the lack of posts but the internet is breaking down at my apartment and I am in the process of trying to fix it. Here is the latest from RA, a video for her song off of her latest Trending Topics mixtape and it has some cool effects. Judah is on the beat too which I was really feeling, probably because it has a piano loop lol. Back to trying to fix my internet, in the meantime grab Trending Topics if you like this song.
I need to take a break after typing out that title, it easily wins for longest title of the year. Seriously though, it is time to play a little bit of catch up. I didn't have the opportunity to post at all this morning due to a long night celebrating my birthday but now is the time to make up for it. This song is off of J-Scrilla's Culture of Honor album so get it if you support the DMV movement because this song alone is bringing half of the artists haha.
The best female rapper out right now is back with a new song and it isn't from her recent release Trending Topics. I'm not even going to mess around anymore and am just going to call it as I see it, she is the best female rapper out right now and one of the best (if not the best) I have ever heard. After a little bit of a hiatus it is good to see RA coming back with a lot of new music, it's nice to know an artist was working instead of loafing while as a fan you awaited some more tunes. Click on the name of the tape above if you don't already have it, it is another must have if your into the underground scene and not even just in the DMV.

What were the effects of the importation of African slaves into the Americas?
1 Answer | Add Yours
There were many important effects of the importation of African slaves. Among the most important are:
- It created multi-racial societies in many countries of the Americas. These contrives would later have to deal with the effects of having ex-slaves and the descendants of those slaves among their citizens.
- It harmed both slaves and white people. The system was one in which the slaves were brutalized and the whites were allowed and perhaps even encouraged to be brutal. This was not good for either group.
- It harmed the African societies from which the slaves were taken. Taking that many people, mostly in the prime of life, had a devastating impact on the societies from which they were taken.

All quotes by Henri Matisse
(55 quotes found)
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue."
"An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language."
"I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me."
"An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc."

tourist vista: "following the sun"
ok. i snuck in one more, closer to i.m. pei's "university village" (far less charming than the colorful glazed brick of the washington square apartments) :
Thursday, March 24, 2011
i wanna be with you (elsewhere)
butter? i was a teenager at the time, and while i knew what smells were conjured by different whole dishes (the vinegar and garlic from adobo; the meaty, sweetness of spaghetti sauce; the mustiness of my mom's awful, awful chicken curry), my food senses were not so evolved. i was fascinated that this little guy could be so attuned to a single note. he continued to develop a keen palate. our family thought we had a future chef on our hands. (instead, we have a wonderful gourmand...)
a couple of weeks ago, he sent a link to elsewhere restaurant's menu to my sister and me. it's a butter hit parade: bacon butter popcorn, biscuits with brown butter and crushed black pepper, salt-baked fingerling potatoes with bacon butter and anchovy mayo... there was no question he'd found the perfect place for us to celebrate his 30th birthday. i only wondered how elsewhere had eluded me to that moment.
elsewhere opened in december of last year, and apart from a modest mention in florence fabricant's diner's journal, there seemed to have been little buzz. but this is the second enterprise undertaken by brian keyser and megan johnson of casellula, a wine and cheese and tapas utopia in hell's kitchen. so while their devotion to cheese is duly-noted here (hooray, the shushan snow!), elsewhere gives them the opportunity to flaunt a little more with mains. though with so many dishes to tempt, you'll likely still be inspired to share the big plates, too.
as is true of some of new york's best new restaurants, elsewhere keeps to local, sustainable, seasonal food; herbs from their back garden are front and center in these very fine dishes.
this is the best sangria i have had in new york.
i like mine juicy and strong, but balanced. hibiscus is the surprise charm here.
my sister was driving that night, so she "settled" for a their special hot chocolate with just a splash of bourbon. you like how she rolls?
bacon butter popcorn.
smoked caviar, puffed rice and herb crème fraîche. jason surprised me by making this choice, but like i said, he's got a good palate.
this is really a "snap crackle and pop" dish:
the snap of chopped green beans, the crackle of puffed rice, and the pop of salty caviar bubbles.
luscious crème fraîche and bright chives don't hurt the cause one bit.
5 SPOKE TUMBLEWEED POUTINE, you made me love you. i didn't want to do it. i didn't want do it.
(actually, i did. and you will too.) i had no earthly idea what a "5 spoke tumbleweed" was--it's a cheese. and it melts perfectly, with gravy and fries.
i opted for the palate cleansing sorbet: pineapple pink peppercorn.
this is george michael circa 1992 --just too funky for me. pineapple, like lemon, can be too intense to the point of bitterness, or just too aromatic. that's what happens here. and the crunch of the peppercorn wasn't as interesting as i thought it would be. the experience was rather like eating potpourri...
opt for that, or the cheese plate, and you won't be sorry.
one of my favorite things about elsewhere is the actual dining experience. the food is of-the-moment and eclectic, but it's not a trendy scene. the room is wide and welcoming, with a dining garden (home to a 30 year old ficus tree), and the spirit of the service is the same. they let us linger over this meal, allowed us to feel really at home.
for a lovely occasion--or none at all-- you'll find elsewhere is just the right place to be.
(and yes, i'm referencing a fleetwood mac song in the post title)

nyc: the only geometry i'll ever understand
is there any city in the world that is easier to traverse than new york? i have been partly around the world, and still haven't found a place with such a logical way about it. maybe cities like buenos aires and paris, where one neighborhood or district slips into the next are more sexy, romantic, or more mysterious. but new york, she is smart.

inspiration: mfw at the IW/todd hido
i've recently converted another smart cookie to maximum favorite writer's camp. my cousin, jenny, declared herself officially to me, to my deep delight. she likes tennis, but obviously she already understands you don't need to be tennis-obsessed to appreciate his work. she just likes his writing. she called it relatable.
for me there is always something (a few somethings) in his posts, a phrase or image that will linger. there is one in particular that i relate to (and love) from the notebook post this week, on the view from the skies:
I've always liked looking out the windows of a plane; somehow the long view relaxes me, and this trip offered mostly cloudless, unimpeded views of the United States. I'll never get enough of the sight of the lights of small cities dotting the countryside at night. There's something warming about them, about the way they stick outside in the darkness, against the darkness. Like snowflakes and Grateful Dead shows, no two are exactly the same. Looking at them pass by slowly, I think, What can possibly be going wrong there, in that safe spot where people have decided to gather?
i am afraid of heights and flying--i actually cried the first time i got on a plane by myself, and believe me i was "old enough--but while actually aloft, i do love the marks of the land by day and the twinkling at night. it can be hard to explain to those who are unafraid, and to those who are upended by flying. he describes it simply, clearly and beautifully.
he explores that idea-- from street level and from an outsider's point of view--with a series called "homes at night." unlike the dreamy, warm view from the plane, his series can suggest something disquieting, or at least not entirely....easy.

way out...west? octavia's porch
so, i went to octavia's porch, a restaurant that celebrates global jewish cuisine–as they describe it, encompassing eastern europe, south africa, morocco, spain, portugal, italy– with some "flavor" expectations: a punch of lemon, rich and thick tahini and beans, nut and olive and dried fruit accents, and dill. i expected smoky preparations and pickled sides. but i suppose more than anything, i expected the fare to be good and hearty. the cultural references were wide, and the thoughtful menu presented one deliciously hard choice after another.
but as much as i enjoyed the selections my friend rachel and i made during our first visit, the modern, fresh but lightly flavored fare reminded me of only one place: california...
i love white bean dip, but think it needs one dominant flavor added to it, to bring it to life. my sister makes a family favorite that's heavy on garlic and rosemary. this one could have used more lemon, more chive –and maybe a dollop or two of tahini to give it a rich note. and a bit of sea salt.
the slices of fresh banana that live inside this loaf, and are caramelized on top, give a clean flavor. i prefer this to other banana bread puddings made out of, well, banana bread. the fresh fruit does the work of amping all the flavors here. in the pudding itself there is lightness–and it's a surprise here, too. but it's a right one. love the slivers of fresh mint, too. one thing: the syrup wasn't chocolate as promised, but it was still a good touch.
i feel a little bad writing some of this now–=i had a lovely time with rachel and we cooed about the meal as it was happening, talked enthusiastically about coming back… only in retrospect did i realize what was missing, for me. sure, the dishes we had lacked the strength and depth to "transport," but there are still good things at octavia's porch. and with so many other intriguing dishes on the menu, i still think it's worth booking a return.

read a good poem: cher
as a glass of iced tea,
her bony shoulders draped
with a curtain of dark hair
that plunged straight down,
the cut tips brushing
her nonexistent butt.
I wanted to wear a lantern
for a hat, a cabbage, a piñata
and walk in thigh-high boots
with six-inch heels that buttoned
up the back. I wanted her
rouged cheek bones and her
throaty panache, her voice
of gravel and clover, the hokum
of her clothes: black fishnet
and pink pom-poms, fringed bells
and her thin strip of a waist
with the bullet-hole navel.
Cher standing with her skinny arm
slung around Sonny's thick neck,
posing in front of the Eiffel Tower,
The Leaning Tower of Pisa,
The Great Wall of China,
The Crumbling Pyramids, smiling
for the camera with her crooked
teeth, hit-and-miss beauty, the sun
bouncing off the bump on her nose.
Give me back the old Cher,
the gangly, imperfect girl
before the shaving knife
took her, before they shoved
pillows in her tits, injected
the lumpy gel into her lips.
Take me back to the woman
I wanted to be, stalwart
and silly, smart as her lion
tamer's whip, my body a torch
stretched the length of the polished
piano, legs bent at the knee, hair
cascading down over Sonny's blunt
fingers as he pummeled the keys,
singing in a sloppy alto
the oldest, saddest songs.

No food reward, no dice. That's the message that Chick-fil-A's anti-equality customers have sent Brian Brown of National Organization for Marriage in the wake of Brown's attempt to ride the tail feathers of "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" into fundraising heaven. In an e-mail sent on Friday afternoon, Brown wrote:
With "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day"—which NOM was instrumental in launching, along with Governor Mike Huckabee—America witnessed a national demonstration of support for marriage. …
Now is the time to capitalize on the momentum we established in showing our support for Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-A. Marriage is on the ballot this fall in four critical states—Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington. Every one of those battles is enormously important. …
We need to mount a national campaign to win in these four states. That's what the Stand For Marriage America campaign is all about. Supported by NOM, and managed by ActRight (a clearinghouse for conservative action), Stand For Marriage America makes it easy for people to support all four state campaigns to preserve traditional marriage.
If every person who made an effort to eat at Chick-fil-A last Wednesday donated $10 to Stand For Marriage America, we would guarantee victory in all four of these critical states.
According to Brown's e-mail, Stand for Marriage America had a running start of $36,364 from pre-Chick-fil-A funding pushes. Now, a day after his appeal to Chick-fil-A's anti-equality customers, the total has increased by less than $2000.
The message seems clear: NOM will be unable to monopolize on Chick-fil-A's windfall because the anti-equality customers who made it possible were motivated at least in part by the rare opportunity to eat junk food and get praised for it. Judging by the poor response to the Stand for Marriage America campaign, very few among them are willing to shell out the price of a sandwich unless they receive a guilty pleasure in return.

Palace then travel to Newcastle on the last weekend in August before welcoming newly-promoted Burnley on September 13 following the international break.

The old Disneyland parking grounds used the names of different characters to help guests remember the alphabetical letters representing the areas where said guests parked.
Now, in 2007, how far do you think we can go in thinking of character names, both well-known and obscure, whose initials begin with each letter of the alphabet?
(Since there are now six levels to the parking structure, do you think it's possible to find six different names for each letter? :) )
I'll start for "A" with an easy one: Aladdin.

UnitedHealth Group Inc., provider of medical insurance for about one in 10 Americans, said fourth-quarter earnings increased 18% as it enrolled more customers and bought rivals.
Net income rose to $870 million, or 65 cents a share, from $739 million, or 54 cents, a year earlier, the Minnetonka, Minn., company said. Revenue rose 15% to $12 billion.
UnitedHealth added 3.6 million customers last year, helped by the $9-billion purchase of Cypress-based PacifiCare Health Systems Inc. in December. The company also began signing people up for the new Medicare drug plan.
The additions contributed to UnitedHealth's increased earnings forecast for 2006. The company raised its forecast to $2.85 to $2.90 a share from its previous $2.82 to $2.85.

Jennifer Smith Compagnie du Froid – Ice Cream Case Issue Compagnie du Froid is an Ice cream manufacturing company. The company is a major competitor in the summer ice cream business. It currently has presence in the French, Italian and Spanish regions, each independently managed with the mandate to make business decisions on behalf of the main office. Each regions performance was judged based on the budget provided by the managers, this budgets was based on an average temperature rate for the summer. If the regions collectively make their sales goals, each manager will get 2% of the overall corporate profit that is made. There is no competition between managers, and they are encouraged to work together to reach this goal. Analysis Italy Italy was able to reach his sales goals, as well as expand his distribution network to the western Italian coast. The Italian regional manager did well despite challenges faced in manufacturing its products due to the purchase of old machines from France and the cost of raw materials. He factored into his budget labor wages and low efficiency of production as a result of the old machines, by doing this he was able to set a realistic sales objective and reach goals. Spain Business for Spain grew quickly but also lost momentum quickly as well. The introduction of vending machines proved to be a hindrance to efficiency. Even though sales and profitability declined, the manager was also forced into a price cut to stay competitive because of the unfavorable weather condition while keeping the ad/mkt spend to gain the market share. Through this, Spain's performance resulted in being surprisingly good. Although he had to import product from France at cost in order to stay in business, he was able to turn this into a profit. He was more innovative in developing products relating to the core business of the company and promoted them in a manner that was well received by consumers. France A cost based transfer price approach was adopted by France. With this the manager's profit increased over the previous years but, if you take out the transfer of goods to Spain out of their sales credits, it shows that they did rather poorly. This division only looks good because they had the opportunity to sell to Spain at cost, which can't really be counted as a sale. Additionally, market share in the region dropped while they put more focus on expansion to the west coast. If France had the option of selling the product sold to Spain to the public instead they would have fared very well. Solution Corporate should discard the current 2% corporate profits to each regional manager, each regional head should be given a percentage of the profits made by its region and not by the company. In doing this corporate will ensure that regional heads are forced to drive the business more productively and reduce wastage in their respective regions. Mangers should be encouraged to find creative ways to enter new markets, introduce new products and generate revenue.

Big Loafer a mainstay at Huntington Mall
BARBOURSVILLE -- In its 30 years, the Huntington Mall has seen a number of different restaurants come and go through the years, but only two of the original restaurants remain the Big Loafer and Chick-Fil-A.
A standby all of these years has been Sydney Burdick, one of the original owners and manager of The Big Loafer. Though Burdick is no longer in the store every day, she's still a big part of the restaurant's success. Day to day operations are overseen by Sydney's business partner and husband Michael Burdick.
Sydney Burdick attributes the long-standing success to a number of things.
"I think putting God first in your life helps," she said. "Having a product that everyone likes is a big thing, and having good employees is vital."
Devout Christians, the couple keeps an open Bible in the corner of the restaurant at all times.
"I think we have a unique niche," said Michael Burdick. "Specialty sandwiches are hard to come by because everything is so industrialized. We make almost everything we can by hand. You can't just have a group of teenagers come in and do what we do on machines. There is nothing else like it. People order like it's fast food but we serve our food on a tray so there's a little more customer service to it. We're very responsive to our customers."
The restaurant is named for a sandwich called the Big Loafer featuring meatloaf, onions, coleslaw, mustard and ketchup on a special yeast bread. The handmade yeast bread is featured in a number of items including the Italian Loaf (Provolone, ham, and banana peppers) and the Cheeseburger Roll (crumbled ground beef, cooked onion, and American cheese). The menu also includes hot dogs, mettwurst sausage and coleslaw.
The store is also known for its homemade chili, cookies and cinnamon rolls.
"I've estimated that about 40 percent of the people who have walked by our restaurant have never tried it," Michael Burdick said. "A $5 investment in a sandwich is a lot if you don't know what you're getting. But once people have tried our food, 999 out of 1,000 are going to go 'Wow.' They find it's a great value for their money."
Big Loafer is open during standard mall hours. Cash and most major credit cards are taken. For more information, call 304-733-0424.
If you go: Big Loafer
Type of food: Diner, sandwiches.
Address: Huntingon Mall Food Court.
Phone number: 304-733-0424.
Payments accepted: Cash and most major credit/debit cards.
Hours: Mall hours.

this week in unintentionally grim-sounding recruiting headlines
jordan morgan
Michigan 74, Northwestern 51
The "Game ... Blouses" dunk came early today. [Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog]
After a rather aimless first ten minutes, Michigan poured it on against a hapless Northwestern squad, led by Nik Stauskas and an apparently healthy Glenn Robinson III.
The Wildcats were able to hang with the Wolverines early—as a late-arriving, weather-be-damned crowd slowly filtered into Crisler—thanks to the efforts of forward Drew Crawford, who had 13 first-half points, eight of which came in the first 11 minutes; his two-pointer at that juncture made it a 13-12 U-M lead after Nik Stauskas threw down his signature two-handed slam off a beautiful feed from Spike Albrecht. Michigan immediately went on a 6-0 run, and after a Crawford three-pointer ended that streak, the Wildcats could get no closer than six points down the rest of the way.
|GRIII's ankle looks just fine. [Fuller/MGoBlog]
Much of that was due to Michigan's defense against Crawford, who didn't score in the second half until there were just over five minutes remaining. No other Wildcat could consistently generate offense, and the second half featured the Wolverines stretching a comfortable lead into a full-on blowout.
Stauskas led the way offensively with 18 points scored in a variety of ways—3/5 two-pointers, 2/5 three-pointers, and 6/8 free throws—while also chipping in four rebounds and four assists. Robinson, who looked to be 100% after injuring his ankle in Thursday's win over Minnesota, scored eight of his 12 points in the second half as the team was able to get out in transition; he played a big part in that, playing active defense up top and helping shut down Crawford on that end.
In the early going, it was actually Jordan Morgan who stood out offensively, scoring eight points while hitting all three of his attempts—including a slick baseline baby hook. Morgan had a quiet second half, but Jon Horford stepped up and continued to produce at the five, getting six of his seven points in the latter stanza. Each big man pulled down eight rebounds and kept Northwestern seven-footer Alex Olah very quiet until the game was out of hand.
Derrick Walton also had a solid showing, taking advantage of Dave Sobolewski's, um, attempts to play defense by repeatedly blowing by him en route to 11 points on 3/4 FGs and and 5/6 FTs. Spike Albrecht only attempted one shot—a made three when Northwestern left him all alone at the top of the key—while making his presence felt as a passer, dishing out four assists to tie Stauskas for the team lead.
After the first ten minutes, the Wildcats simply had no answer for Michigan's combination of size and talent; the Wolverines dominated the boards (29.2 OReb% to NW's 13.3%), won the turnover battle, and shot 65.5% from inside the arc. Michigan did what they were supposed to do against a bad Northwestern squad; perhaps more importantly, it appears Robinson—who threw down two impressive dunks this afternoon—is back to full strength.
Hoops Mailbag: McGary Injury Impact, Caris At Point, Donnal Redshirt
U-M can get by with three options at center (all photos by Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog)
As we welcome in the new year, we've moved on from fretting about the 2013 football team to ... fretting about the 2013-14 basketball team. There's good reason for this, of course, with Mitch McGary's season almost certainly over due to his upcoming back surgery. Your hoops mailbag questions reflect this, as all but one are related to the impact of McGary's absence in one way or another. Without further ado, here's a very McGary-centric mailbag.
@AceAnbender Where to Mitch's minutes go percentage-wise between Irvin, Morgan, and Horford?
— Bry Mac (@Bry_Mac) December 31, 2013
John Beilein announced this week that—at least for now—he's sticking with Jordan Morgan as the starting center and Jon Horford coming off the bench. I don't think McGary's absence will affect the minutes of Zak Irvin very much, if at all; he might see an increase in minutes, but that will be due to his in-season progression as opposed to any need for him to play the four, as Max Bielfeldt and Glenn Robinson III can pick up much of the slack there.
As for how the minutes will be distributed, we already have an idea thanks to the four games McGary has missed so far this season. In the first two games of the year, Horford started and played 22-24 minutes while Morgan added 12-15, with Bielfeldt getting 4-6 minutes of mostly garbage time. The split between Horford and Morgan has reversed in the last two games; Morgan played 22 and 24 minutes against Stanford and Holy Cross, respectively. While Horford only played six minutes against the Cardinal, that's because he picked up five fouls in that span, opening up a few more minutes for Bielfeldt to see the floor.
For the time being, I expect Beilein to go with a 25/15 split between Morgan and Horford, with Bielfeldt picking up a few minutes here and there at both the four and the five. The wild card here is foul trouble: Horford currently averages 4.7 fouls per 40 minutes, while Morgan is at a whopping 6.6 (the change in charge calls has really hurt him defensively). Bielfeldt got 12 minutes against Stanford. Notably, freshman big Mark Donnal didn't see any time despite all three bigs being in foul trouble in that game, which brings me to the next question...
@AceAnbender also, any chance of burning Donnal's redshirt due to need for bigs?
— Morris Fabbri (@MoMoneyMoFabbri) December 31, 2013
I don't think this is going to happen unless another big man misses extended time. Donnal is a lean stretch four at 6'9", 230 pounds, and unlike Caris LeVert last year there isn't a mountain of practice hype to suggest he'll force his way onto the court despite the need to add bulk. Between Morgan, Horford, Bielfeldt, GRIII, and Irvin, the Wolverines have plenty of options when it comes to filling minutes at the four and the five; I don't see the benefit of burning Donnal's redshirt just so he can fill in for a few minutes from time to time.
@AceAnbender i understand how important mcgary was last year but beileins offense doesnt need a big guy so why is it a big deal? #mgomailbag
— Kyle Rosenbaum (@Gkm13) December 31, 2013
This entirely ignores the best aspect of McGary's game: his ability to induce chaos. Despite playing through injury this year, he's currently ranked 29th nationally in steal rate, which not only foils opponent possessions but usually gets Michigan into the fast break, where they're much more effective than in their halfcourt offense. Neither Horford nor Morgan provides that threat, and while Horford has proven to be as good—if not better—at blocking shots than McGary, Morgan is a relative non-factor in that regard.
He's also a superlative offensive rebounder, ranking 83rd in that regard, though Horford and Morgan actually have slightly higher rebound rates on that end—we'll see if that holds with increased minutes. On the other end, while Horford is just about equal with McGary when it comes to defensive rebounding, there's a big dropoff to Morgan, who's posted just a 15.9 DReb% in comparison to 25.4% for McGary and 24.6% for Horford.
Also, McGary has easily the best chemistry with Michigan's perimeter players on the pick and roll, especially Nik Stauskas and Spike Albrecht. Horford is inconsistent when it comes to setting a good screen, while Morgan—as we've seen for four years—has trouble catching entry passes cleanly and finishing strong at the rim. McGary's passing acumen—especially when Michigan faces zone defenses—will also be missed; his assist rate is around double those of the other two bigs. Beilein's offense may not run through the post; that doesn't mean it won't suffer without McGary.
@AceAnbender odds Mitch comes back next year? Doing so could boost his draft stock, but he might feel urgency to get paid.
— Dan Roehrig (@DanRareEgg) December 31, 2013
This is going to be a very tough call for McGary; he turns 22 in June, old for a rising junior, and if he was guaranteed a first-round spot I don't think there's any question he'd turn pro. That's in seroius doubt at this point, however. Even before the injury, ESPN's Chad Ford had dropped McGary down to the #24 spot on his big board ($). In the immediate aftermath of the injury, ESPN's Jeff Goodman got this quote from an NBA general manager:
"He should have left," one NBA general manager told ESPN.com. "Now he's a borderline first-rounder. He would have been a lock last season."
The latest NBADraftNet mock has McGary going as the seventh pick of the second round. Barring a pretty miraculous recovery, McGary isn't going to have a chance to raise his stock before it's time to declare for the draft, and I believe he'll come back if he's projected as a second-round pick—unlike first-rounders, those players don't get guaranteed contracts, and a strong junior season from McGary could easily vault him back into the first round.
Alright, let's do one non-McGary question since this is getting rather depressing.
@AceAnbender Will Caris get any real burn at PG? Seems like it could at least be a 15 min/gm change of pace lineup. #MGoMailbag
— Gustavo Adventure (@colintj) December 31, 2013
It's certainly a viable lineup, especially on the defensive end, as LeVert is currently the best player on the team at defending opposing point guards, in my opinion (with a freshman and a 5'10" guy as his competition, I don't think I'm going out on a limb here). Beilein has talked about going to this lineup more often as a situational defensive lineup at the end of games and I'm in full support of this.
15 minutes a game of this, however, might be a bit much. While LeVert is great at taking care of the ball, his assist rate (14.8%) is well below Derrick Walton's (19.5%), way below Spike Albrecht's (27.7%), and even trailing Nik Stauskas (18.0%). When LeVert is running the offense, it often devolves into him dribbling the air out of the ball in isolation situations; while he's getting pretty good at getting buckets out of those plays, that's not a very sustainable way to run an offense.
That said, Beilein's offense doesn't really require a traditional point guard, and between Stauskas and LeVert there are two solid creators off the dribble when Michigan goes big. If they can get the offense to run more smoothly when LeVert initiates the play, this lineup could very well turn into Michigan's best—that's a big if, though, and deemphasizing the point guards could hamper Walton's development.

UMass-Lowell is making their Division I debut after finishing 15-13 (10-12) as a member of the Northeast-10 (Division II) last year. A full-blown game preview is rather unnecessary.
The Story
"If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties." — Sir Francis Bacon, The Advancement of Learning
As Michigan opens its season tonight against UMass-Lowell, I'm certain of two things about this team: they're raising a Final Four banner tonight, and they will be good.
The first is indisputable fact, not to mention a significant reason why it's easy to state the second: John Beilein's squad returns eight players (three starters, four more rotation guys) from a team that came within a half of requiring a bigger, fancier banner. Among those are two players garnering preseason All-American consideration, arguably the best shooter in America, a backup point guard who dropped 17 points in the first half of the title game, two experienced big men, and a sophomore oozing so much potential that he forced his way onto the court last year despite appearing malnourished.
On top of that, Michigan boasts one of the best coaching staffs in the country and bring in two top-flight recruits who will contribute immediately, one of whom (PG Derrick Walton) has already secured a starting role. They will be good, even without Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway.
How good depends on a number of factors, however, and for every certainty there is an equal and opposite uncertainty.
Certainty: Mitch McGary is one of the most skilled, impactful centers in college basketball.
Uncertainty: When will he be able to return from his back "condition", and will it hamper him once he returns? (Also: how much do we weigh his tournament run versus his regular-season output?)
Certainty: Glenn Robinson III is an incredible athlete who had an exceptionally efficient freshman season.
Uncertainty: Can Robinson create his own shot, and can he stay so efficient with a bigger role?
Certainty: Beilein will try to play more two-big lineups this year.
Uncertainty: Will this work, especially with all the practice time McGary has missed? With all the talent on the wings, is it even worth trying?
Certainty: Caris LeVert is getting massive practice hype for the second straight year and looks like a potential breakout star as a shooting guard and part-time point.
Uncertainty: Will his practice/exhibition exploits translate to actual production against real opponents this year?
Certainty: Nik Stauskas is a great shooter; also: Not Just A Shooter.
Uncertainty: Can his lethal efficiency as a three-point shooter and pick-and-roll ballhandler continue when he's the team's first or second scoring option?
Certainty: Michigan is starting an extremely talented freshman point guard.
Uncertainty: Michigan is starting an extremely talented freshman point guard.
The list goes on and on*, and I'm okay with this. The uncertainty surrounding the football team this year has largely stemmed from "can this non-functional unit become functional"-type questions. The uncertainty surrounding the basketball team, on the other hand, is more of the "can this good thing become great" variety.
If the pieces all fall into place, Michigan is a national title contender once again. If they don't, this is still a team capable of winning the Big Ten (so long as Michigan State doesn't go full juggernaut, at least), and barring a rash of injuries they'll be a fun team to watch. None of us have any idea what's going to happen; it's still all but guaranteed to be more rewarding than watching this year's football team. Sit back and enjoy Michigan's status as one of the nation's elite programs, one that reloads instead of rebuilds, and savor that banner. We'll worry about certainties another time.
*Will the team's added functional size and experience on the wings equal better defensive performance, for example.
Michigan 79, Wayne State 60
Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog
Since this game was televised, I'll make this relatively short and sweet—Michigan held a commanding lead for practically the entire game, though they failed to dominate Wayne State to the same extent that they eviscerated Concordia in the first exhibition. Given the amount of lineup shuffling, that's not of particular concern. Once again, here are some assorted thoughts from an exhibition blowout.
Michigan once again started both Jon Horford and Jordan Morgan, though this time it was freshman Derrick Walton getting his first career start (of many) instead of Spike Albrecht. Simply put, it didn't look like the two bigs lineup is going to work against real competition pending the return of Mitch McGary. Early on, the spacing on offense was poor, and Morgan looked uncomfortable trying to defend on the perimeter. That didn't change much when they trotted out similar lineups later in the game.
If tonight's game is any indication, Michigan is going to start Glenn Robinson III at the four sooner or later, and until McGary returns it may very well be Horford, not Morgan, who starts alongside him. After playing 22 minutes to Morgan's 14 in the opener, Horford once again got the lion's share of the minutes at center—25 to 14, despite having four fouls to Morgan's one. Neither player factored in much offensively and each fared pretty well on the boards; Horford's ability to block shots (two tonight) may be what's giving him the edge.
When Horford picked up an early foul, Michigan put out a lineup with Caris LeVert running the point and Spike Albrecht playing off the ball. This immediately resulted in an open three for Albrecht after a drive-and-kick from LeVert, who looked very confident in both his shot and ballhanding ability tonight, finishing with 16 points (5/10 FG, 5/7 FT) and three assists against just one turnover. I really liked this look, which allowed Michigan to get Albrecht on the court and take advantage of his shooting while hiding him a bit defensively—it's tough to pick on the 5'10" guy when there are four 6'6"-or-taller defenders disrupting passing lanes.
As you can see above, LeVert even showed off a go-to move, breaking some ankles with the crossover in this one.
Tonight wasn't a great one for hopes that Robinson (right, Fuller) is going to create a ton of offense off the dribble; he scored 15 points on 10 FGAs but had difficulty getting into the lane on his own, with one notable exception that seemed more of a defensive miscue than anything else. He does appear more confident in his three-point shot, however, even though he knocked down just one of three attempts tonight.
More importantly, it doesn't look like he has to create offense for Michigan to score. Nik Stauskas led the team with 17 points, hitting 2/4 threes and looking equally effective inside the arc; encouragingly, he laid in a tough and-one on a fast break through heavy contact, something he had difficulty doing last year. LeVert, once again, seemed able to reach any point on the floor he wanted.
Then there's Zak Irvin, who looks ready to take GRIII's place as the Guy Who Scores A Quiet [Double-Digit Point Total]. Despite playing just eight minutes in the first half, Irvin paced the team with nine points, hitting three triples; he'd finish with 13 on 5/8 shooting in 19 minutes of action. One of his second-half makes was a pretty dribble-drive to pull-up jumper; when called upon, he looks comfortable creating his own shot. While fellow freshman Walton shot just 1/4 from the field, he hit 4/5 free throws and drilled a corner three to accompany a 4:2 assist-to-turnover ratio; like LeVert, he worked his way to the inside with relative ease to create offense for others. Walton also had his second Burkeian halfcourt steal in two games. If that becomes a patented Michigan point guard move, I'm totally okay with it.
- The perimeter defense could still use work. Wayne State's Bryan Coleman hit 3/5 first-half threes and had 17 points at the break; while he cooled off in the second half, he still found himself with several open looks against Stauskas and Robinson, primarily.
- On the other hand, the transition defense was great—Wayne State finished with zero fast-break points, and Michigan communicated very well while getting back on D, a very good sign for such a young team.
- For the second straight game, Max Bielfeldt struggled to defend the glass while playing center against an undersized team, grabbing zero rebounds in nine minutes of action while also having his fair share of issues defensively. If this is what he's playing like come conference play, he may not have a spot in the rotation, since he isn't a guy who's going to add much offensively.
- Mark Donnal is almost certainly ticketed for a redshirt, as he didn't play until garbage time once again, then immediately forgot to box out on a free throw and committed a foul—that's probably the last we see of him this season unless injuries hit in a major way.
- Welcome back, Ann Arbor Airshow. I missed you dearly.
Hoops Media Day Wrap
Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog
Before I post a partial transcript of John Beilein's press conference, a few player interviews, and photo galleries from both Eric and Bryan, here are my main takeaways from yesterday's basketball media day:
- First and foremost, John Beilein is serious about playing two bigs and having a lot of lineup versatility—this sentiment echoed from Beilein himself down through the players, almost all of whom discussed playing multiple roles in some capacity. Everything from Walton/Spike/Stauskas/GRIII/McGary to LeVert/Stauskas/GRIII/McGary/Morgan is on the table; this team can play small or go very, very big—both Stauskas and LeVert are capable of running the point.
- Mitch McGary's health is a major question mark. Beilein isn't sure if he'll be ready for the first exhibition game—it certainly didn't seem like it—and would only say he's "day-to-day" when asked about a timetable. When asked about the nature of the injury, McGary responded that it wasn't an injury, but a "lower back condition" that the team is being cautious about right now. That's obviously a point of concern, even though McGary maintained that he felt good about where he's at right now and the upcoming season. He's definitely missing critical practice time—Beilein noted that he hasn't had a chance to practice his perimeter defense, a crucial area for improvement if McGary is going to be able to play the four.
- The physical development of the sophomores has been rather remarkable. Glenn Robinson III's improved vertical is getting a lot of attention—yes, he touched 12'3", maxing out Michigan's device for measuring vertical leaps—and similar gains have been made by Nik Stauskas and Caris LeVert. All three look noticeably more muscular; though LeVert is still very much on the skinny side, he's no longer rail-thin, and Stauskas appears capable of playing the three if need be. GRIII, meanwhile, looks the part of an NBA player.
- When asked about their new break-the-huddle mantra this year, Beilein responded that it's simply "champions"—whether that applies to the Puerto Rico Invitational, the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, the Big Ten regular- and post-season crowns, or even loftier goals. Last year's team took the expectations to an entirely new level; it's clear this team is comfortable with that.
For direct quotes from Beilein, player interviews with Jon Horford, Jordan Morgan, and Derrick Walton, and photo galleries from media day, hit the jump.
Hoops Preview: Bigs
Michigan opens the season on—[checks
watch smartphone]—oh lord, Tuesday, so it's time to get to this previewin' business. Of course, we already have an entire book dedicated to this, and you should probably check that out, as it goes into far more detail than I'm capable of doing here.
I'm dividing up the team like we did in the book for the positional previews: bigs, wings, and point guards. For the purposes of this preview, I'm considering Glenn Robinson III a wing, though he'll get plenty of run as the nominal power forward when Michigan goes to a smaller, more Beilein-friendly lineup. On that note, let's start with the men up front.
Mitch McGary
Year: Sophomore
Measurables: 6'10", 255
Base Stats: 19.7 minutes, 7.5 points, 59.8 FG%, 44.2 FT%, 6.3 rebounds
Key Advanced Metrics: 16.0 OR% (10th nationally), 22.4 DR% (86th), 3.9 Blk%, 2.4 Stl%
After Jordan Morgan's ankle injury near the end of the 2012-13 regular season, Mitch McGary ascended from highly-touted freshman energy guy to do-everything future All-American with a remarkable run in the NCAA tournament. McGary averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds in the Big Dance, dished out six assists (previous career high: two) to break the vaunted Syracuse 2-3 zone in the national semifinal, recorded eight steals in two games against Kansas and Florida, and generally performed like a guy once considered a top-two prospect in his class.
The tournament performance vaulted McGary onto just about every preseason All-American list, often as the first-team center. That's a lot of hype generated largely by a six-game stretch, though McGary—who started his freshman year slow after an injury hampered his conditioning—displayed flashes of greatness from the get-go, pulling down rebounds and forcing turnovers at a very high rate all season.

In this article, we examine the existence of nice arrangements of stars on the American flag. We show that despite the existence of such arrangements for any number of stars from 1 to 100, with the exception of 29, 69 and 87, they are rare as the number of stars increases.

A theorem of Apostol and Mnatsakanian states that as a circle rolls on a line, the area of the cycloidal sector traced by a point on the circle is always three times the area of the corresponding segment cut from the rolling circle. We generalize this result by showing that sinusoidal and logarithmic spirals rolling on lines have similar area ratio properties. We then extend our ideas to include one curve rolling on another. Such pairs of curves are a natural generalization of road-wheel pairs.

Chuck Landon: MU earned its right to play weak opponent
There was no shame in the Henderson Center Tuesday night.
I repeat, no shame.
Sure, Marshall hosted tiny Alice Lloyd College from even tinier Pippa Passes, Ky.
Google Earth that.
And, yes, the Eagles are an NAIA school several steps below Marshall's NCAA Division I status. Honestly, the Herd was way, way, way out of Alice Lloyd's league.
Yet, was there any shame in Marshall's extremely well played 121-57 demolition of a win over the out-manned Eagles before 4,126 fans?
Absolutely not.
"I'm not going to apologize for playing Alice Lloyd," said Marshall coach Tom Herrion.
And nor should he.
No team in America has played the murderer's row of a schedule Marshall's young, first-year player laden team has endured during a four-game losing streak.
Go ahead and check the schedules.
Nobody has played at an SEC opponent (69-67 loss to Vanderbilt), followed by an away game against a Big Ten foe (90-77 loss to Penn State), followed by a game on a neutral court against a Big 12 opponent (74-64 loss to West Virginia University in the Charleston Civic Center).
No team in the country has bitten off a schedule with such high-caliber consecutive road games.
Besides, there were 10 other games on Tuesday night alone featuring Division I schools against non-Division I opponents.
That's why there were no apologies.
That's why there was no shame.
That's why neither was necessary.
Marshall deserved to catch its competitive breath against an opponent it could dominate.
Right, Kareem Canty?
"We needed to get that monkey off our backs," said Marshall's freshman point guard.
So, they did.
Marshall shot a stunning 64.7 percent from the floor (44 of 68) including a .577 mark on 3-pointers (15 of 26), as well as a phenomenal 81.8 percent from the foul line (18 of 22).
That's another reason why there are no apologies or shame. The Herd didn't fool around despite the lack of competition. They didn't play street ball. They didn't act like this was a "Midnight Madness" farce. They didn't take ridiculous shots or try to make silly passes.
The Herd took care of business.
They played well. They played hard. They played like they're coached.
As a result, they dismantled a very plucky Alice Lloyd team that played hard to the final buzzer.
"They've got some moxie," said Herrion, referring to his inexperienced team. "They've got a little bit of 'it.' Our kids were really ready to play. We were so unselfish."
That started with Canty, who scored 18, 28 and 16 points respectively in Marshall's previous three games. But Tuesday night? He seldom looked for his own shot, while going 4 of 7 from the floor.
Instead, Canty decided to chase Marshall's one-game record for assists (18 by Greg White on Dec. 8, 1979 vs. CCNY).
"I came to shoot-around today," said Canty, "and said I wanted to break the school record."
He came close with 14, including 10 in the first half. But that's not the point. What's important is Canty was aiming at a record for being unselfish. That resulted in Marshall being devastating in transition.
"When we're running," said Canty, "we can play with anyone in the country."
So what if it came against Alice Lloyd?
This was a good win against anybody.

Chicago on Monday opened a new school year with 48 fewer public schools, fewer teachers, fewer support staff, a reduced budget, and an intense amount of scrutiny, particularly concerning the safety of students from closed schools, many of whom now must cross dangerous neighborhoods to get to their new schools.
It's likely to be a year at least as tumultuous as the last one, which was marked by a seven-day teachers strike and a fierce fight over the school closures. Acrimony between the teachers union and the school district is not expected to abate, as a budget and pension crisis looms, and as Chicago Public Schools begins to implement new Common Core standards and controversial teacher evaluation systems.
"The key question is whether Chicago can set aside the last year's trauma and focus on improving teaching and learning," says Timothy Knowles, director of the University of Chicago's Urban Education Institute. While he hopes the focus will be on new standards, improved evaluations, deepening the bench of capable school leaders, and innovation and "next-generation" education models, his expectations are not high. "Chicago is a theater town," he says, "and pension wars, big budget axes, and debates about the merits of [the] Safe Passage [program to safeguard students] may rule the day."
