Rumormongering: Burke Departure, Gardner WR Prospects
A couple of good sources have passed along information about Michigan's hot topics du jour.
On Trey Burke. This should not be a scenario like Harris or Morris where the player leaves for dim draft prospects. In Harris's case he wanted out no matter what; Morris had people in his inner circle pushing him into the draft.
Burke is not either of those guys. If the NBA does not tell him he is a first round lock, he'll be back. Since that doesn't seem in the cards—name the last one-and-done under six feet tall—Michigan should avoid the terrifying prospect of entering next year with no point guard at all.
On Devin Gardner. Someone who's seen Gardner at all of Michigan's practices so far says he's "instantly Michigan's best receiver and adds a new dimension to the offense." He's "crazy athletic" with "surprisingly great hands." The one complication for Gardner-to-WR is the situation at quarterback, where he's still the clear #2 option. Gardner is still taking all the second team QB reps.
/end inside info, begin speculation
A lot of people have been mentioning Woodson when talking about this when trying to guess how much playing time is reasonable for a guy who's still full time at a second position. He got 10-15 snaps a game on offense back in '97. Gardner may start at that level, but if it's crunch time and he's 6'5" with a city block catching radius…
Burke Announcement Timetable Update
In the immediate aftermath of yesterday's Trey Burke PANIC I said that Michigan wouldn't have to wait too long to know whether Burke will make us all emo. A correction: the NBA early entry deadline is the 29th. The deadline to withdraw is the 10th. IE, there is no deadline to withdraw anymore.
Burke will get his evaluation back from the NBA on the sixth, so a day or two after that would be a potential announcement timeframe. If it doesn't happen then Burke is on the fence and a final announcement probably won't come until the deadline nears. So… yeah, try not to think about it for the next month. I'll have kittens/muppets on standby.
Burke Departure: Possible
Trey Burke may have said he'd be back next year in the immediate aftermath of Michigan's ouster from the NCAA tourney, but those things are always subject to change once the emotion of a tough loss wears off.
It has, and now Burke's dad is saying stuff like this:
"We figured we had to at least see what's going on," Benji said. "That's where we're at. We're wanting to see where we're at and go from there.
"Trey just got to Ann Arbor. We just got here, and now we're talking about him leaving. It's just tough, it's a tough decision but hopefully we'll be back in Crisler this year. ... As of now, we're coming back. But anything can change. We're open."
That AnnArbor.com article is headlined "Burke to look into NBA draft stock, still leaning towards staying." The analogous article at the Free Press is of course titled "Trey Burke strongly considering leaving Michigan for NBA draft," because obviously. Pick your probability from amongst options.
Burke's dad says he's had reports that Trey could go anywhere from 18-24th overall. That is greatly divergent from draft boards maintained by Chad Ford (where he ranks 72nd) and Draft Express (not in the top 100, last pick of the first round in their 2013 mock) and could be agents trying to get a kid to sign; that's why they have advisory boards.
I don't think Burke's in a situation like Darius Morris, who left with full knowledge he probably wouldn't be a first-rounder, but at this point any Michigan fan who's assuming is doing the understandable thing.
If Burke does end up declaring Michigan is of course totally boned. At this point the #2 PG is either a walk-on or a 6'6" shooting guard who isn't even on campus yet. They'd probably get a transfer or late commit or something given the obvious opportunity but Trey Burkes don't grow on trees. With the NCAA moving up the withdrawal date over and over again at least we won't have to wait long to know: Burke is in or out by April 10th.
Mailbag: 2013 Basketball Class Skepticism, More Colors, Late Game Gritty Clutch Anecdote Battle
Hi Brian,
Do you think Coach Beilein wasn't selective enough in the 2013 class, seeing that none of the recruits are in the top 50, and one of them is outside the top 100?
Cleveland, OH
At this point Beilein has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to jumping on recruits early. When he grabbed Glenn Robinson III he was an unranked three-star; he is going to finish his high school career with five stars on Rivals and won't be far off on Scout. Nick Stauskas has broken into the top 100 on all sites as well; I think he'll be a fantastic two-guard for Michigan. Last year Beilein won a recruiting battle with Cincinnati for PSU decommit Trey Burke. The year before he grabbed Smotrycz before his profile blew up and was higher on Tim Hardaway Jr than anyone else. Beilein's evaluation skills are clearly a notch above the field.
So there's that. Beilein's taken a lot of lightly-regarded three stars who happen to blow up either before or after they hit Ann Arbor. Michigan's 2013 class may be in the process of doing that. Derrick Walton just went for 47 in a playoff game; Zak Irvin has had a strong high school season. I'm guessing those guys are more likely to move up than down, though Scout's Brian Snow doesn't seem like he's going to budge on Irvin just yet.
Even if those guys aren't in line for some of the meteoric rises we've seen Michigan recruits have, they don't have to get bumped much to be on par with 2012. Irvin's on the edge of the top 50 on Rivals and Walton is 87. They're starting out with more rep than Robinson or Stauskas, more rep than three of MSU's four 2012 commits.
As for Donnal, I don't care as much what the ratings say about him because it's at that five spot that Michigan is so divergent from a conventional team. Donnal has an extremely high skill level that makes him a great fit for Michigan. Hypothetical athletic limitations—which may or may not be a big deal for a post who just finished his junior year of high school—make him the #124 player in a nationwide ranking; in Beilein's eyes you can bet he's a lot higher.
When Carlton Brundidge, a guy who still has a lot of time to turn into a useful player, is the best case for a Beilein recruiting miss* attempting to criticize his 2013 class is like shooting a guy wearing six bulletproof vests.
*[I don't think anyone expected post-signing-day pickup Colton Christian to be anything other than what he is; jury is out on Bielfeldt. Beilein is making a lot of encouraging noises about him. #pleasebelikedraymondgreen
Also, a large number of Beilein recruits that went elsewhere have gone on to agonizingly good careers elsewhere: Kyle Kuric, Kevin Pangos, Klay Thompson, etc. Hell, Green was supposedly about to commit to Michigan before Izzo swooped in on him.]
Color follow-up.
A follow-up from the Michigan Today story featuring the "athletic colors" and the "official colors" that were so divergent:
Brian -
After reading about university colors on MGoBlog, I thought you find find some additional information of interest.
An Ann Arbor News article from November 29, 1998, "Hue-ing the line: True blue, maize ways" follows up on the Fall 1996 Michigan Today story "Which Maize? Which Blue?" The 1912 official color color samples (housed at the Bentley Historical Library) were tested in 1997 with spectrophotometers by X-Rite (a company in Grandville, Michigan founded by Rufus Teesdale a Michigan graduate).
According to the Ann Arbor News article, the spectrophotometer readings were converted to printing instructions noting that the numbers "were tweaked a bit to account for some fading of the ribbons since 1912."
The spectrophotometer readings of the 1912 official color samples were:
MAIZE: 9 cyan, 28 magenta, 59 yellow, 0 black
BLUE: 93 cyan, 76 magenta, 24 yellow, 2 black
The 1912 report on the official colors reads a lot like current complaints about color, "In short, the blue color, which is the one longest associated with the University, starting with a shade almost as dark as "navy blue" has gradually weakened until it has the hint known as "baby blue." the maize, likewise, has faded to correspond, and is now an expressionless pale yellow. So delicate have the colors become, that they have not only lost their original character, but are ineffective in decorations, and useless to the Athletic association, which has been forced to employ colors entirely different from those which recent graduates regard as University colors. It is only necessary to see the diversity of the banners which are displayed in the store windows to realize the confusion which exists."
- Brian
Every time I bring this up I'm pleasantly surprised by how seriously people take this. Again, I've heard that the athletic department would like to move away from the kind of yellow that gets us mentioned in the same breath with the Sounders and Oregon when SI writers are bagging on these babies:
I hope they come with sirens, ladders, and hoses
Let there come a day when Roy Roundtree is wearing sunglasses in Crisler just to look cool instead of prevent retina damage.
On Michigan's late game success.
You mentioned that you don't buy into the "grit" factor as a possible explanation into their 13-5 record given the difference in efficiency margin. I agree that Eckstein-adjectives don't rationalize the difference but I was curious if there is any game experience stats out there that could help.
I know that UM is still young in terms of overall team experience but there's no question in my mind that Novak and Douglas' four years of relevant playing time contributes to that record despite the efficiency. I would also think that having Morgan and Hardaway being second year starters adds to that explanation given the relative short time periods that excellent teams have their players for before they leave for the draft.
I don't know how you would measure it but is there anything that quantifies the experience of the players actually playing minutes in the game. Having two starters that have played significant time over four years has to be somewhat rare in the Big 10's upper tier.
Kenpom does have an experience measure that adjusts for minutes played. Michigan is 209th of 345 with an average of 1.54 years of experience. This is a massive improvement on last year when they were 335th*.
As for Michigan's super-experienced dudes, Michigan's two is better than OSU's one (Buford) and MSU's one (Green; Thornton has not seen a lot of time in his career), but Green has a usage of 28%, Buford 23%. Stu and Zack are around 15% each. Their involvement in the offense summed about equals Green's.
Meanwhile when I think clutch late-game performances, I think Trey Burke putting it as high off the glass as possible against OSU and hitting free throw after free throw. This blog has a tag about Burke's clutch play even though it tries not to believe in clutch. That's a freshman.
So I cannot agree with your police work here when poor Northwestern is so much more experienced (89th), relies two massive-usage upperclassmen, and endured maximum epic pain in all late game situations this year. BOOM REVERSE ANECDOTE'D.
In the face of the post-Merrit/Lee implosion I'm a convert to the gritty winning winners bit, but I think that's equally useful at all times during a game, in practice, etc., not especially at the end of a game.
*[BONUS KENPOM STATISTICAL OUTLIER: Michigan gets 17% of their minutes from its bench. That is 343rd(!) nationally. The only teams more reliant on their starters are Siena, a 14-17 MAAC team, and Youngstown State, a 16-15 Horizon League team.
Oddly enough, having few bench minutes is much less of a problem than having a ton. Alabama is the most bench-heavy team in the tournament at #45 and they are up there involuntarily after two starters were suspended midseason. #60 Kansas State is the first team on the list that seems to have voluntarily played its bench a lot. Life's better at the bottom: 14 teams in the 300s in this category (ie, a third of them) made the tourney, including S16 seeds Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Wisconsin, Louisville, and Michigan.]
Unverified Voracity Scoffs At Vikings
Brief Big Ten Tournament note. No column on it; I wasn't feeling massively invested because I had to miss the second half of the Minnesota game to go to Yost and watched it after I knew the outcome, then Ohio State came out and was all like "today we will play like a team with two lottery picks on it." Once that happened and Burke got annihilated by Craft it was clear this was going to be an ugly old-style loss, which fine. Michigan is not on the level of national contender… yet.
If anything the tourney just reinforced my feeling that this team did fantastically to pick up a Big Ten title split and now that there's a banner in hand the rest of this is house money. After beating OHIO*, that is. Losing to a 13 seed would leave a sour taste. Everything else is gravy-coated candy.
I'll leave the garment rending about how we're not competing for a one-seed for the next couple years.
Side note: now do we believe that Craft is a totally awesome defender? Yes? Okay.
*[SBN MAC blog Hustle Belt refers to the Bobcats as "OHIO" for reasons that are unknown but very probably related to their stunning upset of Georgetown as a 14 seed two years ago.
Since giving them the all-caps treatment is a term of respect that doubles as diss of plain ol' Ohio, this blog will refer to the Bobcats as OHIO from now on.]
Dave Brandon approves. Michigan-ND 1978 was like Michigan-MSU 2012 in two ways: one team looked totally ridiculous and lost 28-14.
The two games were different because one team didn't look ridiculous and Ufer was going ape in '78.
This game also provides ammunition for both sides of the maize/yellow debate. It's clear that UM's maize is much lighter than the yellow ND is wearing; it's also unattractively blinding.
Also ridiculous. I wish I'd found this before I posted on hockey's tourney streak today, as it really hammers home how remarkable it is:
Let me put that in perspective- of ALL of the teams that have won a National Championship in Hockey the last 21 seasons, here's the tournament appearances:
Michigan- 21
Boston U- 15
Minnesota- 15
North Dakota- 14
Michigan State- 14
Maine- 13
Wisconsin- 13
Boston College- 13
Denver- 10
Lake State- 6
Northern Michigan- 5
UM-Duluth- 4
Inside that, the longest streak is 9, shared by Maine, Michigan State, and North Dakota, but North Dakota will extend that to 10 this year. At least should.
Unless there's a power lurking outside this list—and I don't think there is—every other team has missed the NCAAs at least six times during the streak.
Help next year. Hockey's got blue chips on the blue line and at forward in their next recruiting class. Boo Nieves is the forward, and he sounds a little like Carl Hagelin:
Matt Herr thought he had seen it all after taking over as coach at the Kent School in Connecticut following a productive collegiate and professional playing career.
That's before he was introduced to 6-foot-3, 184-pound center Cristoval "Boo" Nieves last season.
"I don't know how he skates so freaking fast for his size," Herr told NHL.com. "He's one of the best skaters I've seen this year. I think he can jump into the American Hockey League and play right now and you wouldn't even blink." …
"He just explodes off the mark and has agility, balance and quickness to break loose from traffic," Eggleston said. "He also has the physical strength to plow through checks along the wall and bring the puck with him. He sees the ice very well, is a very smart and creative playmaker and captains the team ... he's a very good team player."
Herr then compares him to Joe Thornton, which… like… probably not. Here's hoping, though. If Michigan doesn't suffer any departures at forward I'm guessing that AJ Treais slides up to the top line next year between Brown and Guptill; Nieves should center the second line with PDG and… Moffatt? That sounds pretty good to me.
If they can keep defections on defense down to one they'd be skating something like Trouba-Merrill/Bennett, Moffie-Chiasson, Clare/Serville-Carrick. Depth is a bit scary there but kids develop; Serville especially seems like an offseason in a weight program will do him good.
Help the Mathlete. He needs some crowd-sourcing to fill in holes in his recruiting database. Your reward is good feelings and some interesting posts.
That's the ticket. Kyle Meinke tries to make us all feel better about going up against that Alabama defense:
"There ain't no one who can learn that defense in under a year," outgoing free safety Mark Barron said last month at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. "We played in a very difficult defense, first of all. We did a lot of different schemes.
"I really don't believe anyone can learn that defense in under a year."
Score! Please score.
Trey Burke is childhood friends with everyone on an Ohio D-I roster. OHIO backup PG and lightning bolt Stevie Taylor has played with and against Trey Burke for big chunks of his career. UMHoops has the story and the requisite adorable picture:
Um… check with the basketball team. Michigan's hockey team has adopted a mantra that should be familiar to anyone who followed Michigan basketball's NCAA drought-breaking team of a few years back:
The No. 4 Michigan hockey team emerged from its locker room before Saturday's game against Notre Dame wearing shirts with the team motto, "Burn the Boats," prominently displayed.
Hey! I remember that! Isn't that…
"(Sophomore forward Luke) Moffatt brought it up this year," said sophomore forward Derek DeBlois last month. "It has to do with the Vikings. When they would go to fight, they would burn their boats. No retreat, you just kind of lay all your chips on the table and fight until you win."
…NOT ABOUT VIKINGS AT ALL. It's actually a famous event in the Spanish conquest of everything when they were discovering the new world, which is why the basketball team's version of the slogan was in Spanish. [Ed-S: actually...] Come on. Vikings. I've never heard about anything so ridicul—
Etc: James Rogers interviewed. Michigan Tech goalie coach and former Michigan goalie Steve Shields profiled. MEL PEARSON UPDATE: Tech reaches the Final Five for the first time in five years. Tech is two games away from .500 on the year. Carty on Draymond Green and Zack Novak. Ohio's PG in a bikini.
Unverified Voracity Asks For A Shovel
Fab Five. Wolverine Historian continues to feature Fab Five games that officially may not exist anymore:
The inside scoop. Seth Davis did one of those ask-coaches-off-the-record articles that always feature a mix of insight and bitchiness and make for quality reading. The take on Michigan (emphasis mine):
Michigan: The Wolverines are dangerous because they shoot the ball so well and stay within their sets, but they can also lay an egg because they rely so much on threes. You almost have to play small with them because they force you to. If you have a big man, it's hard to guard them because everybody will step out and score. I don't think Tim Hardaway Jr. is a tough kid. He just wants to shoot jumpers. If you have a dominant person inside, you can go right at them because they're not real big. Hardaway has not had the kind of year we were all expecting, but he has an uncanny ability to make threes late even when he's not shooting well. Trey Burke is the best guard in our league, and Jordan Morgan is much better offensively than he was last year. They don't scare you defensively. They'll get after you and compete, but you can run your stuff and score on them.
The section on Ohio State also mentions that they're "probably kicking themselves a little for not taking Trey Burke," and the Wisconsin bit is all about how terrible and awful and disrespectful they are.
Maybe this whole standards thing isn't a huge deal. Remember when some guy said that unconfirmed thing about Brandon saying that Michigan wasn't going to compete with the SEC for things and stuff and would have standard like things and everyone was all like boo boo boo we want to recruit Manninghams even if they like smoking pot, like, forever and ever?
Yeah, that was in the long long ago when Michigan was striking out late in the 2012 class and hadn't secured a top five 2013 class like two weeks into that recruiting cycle. But, like, you know who we lost out to for a couple important guys? Stanford. This Stanford:
Haskins points out that just because a guy plays football doesn't necessarily mean he's physically tough. From a mental side, Shaw maintains the Cardinal's rigorous academic requirements forces the program to get determined people. "To be honest, it's built in for us," he says. "We can look [at] the physical toughness when you watch a kid play, but we're also finding out about that stick-to-it-iveness when we're asking them to re-take tests, take AP courses and make tough decisions to try and get admitted here. That shows dedication, toughness and perseverance."
That's from a long Bruce Feldman piece on Stanford's ridiculous-not-just-for-Stanford recruiting. The Cardinal is proving that you can avoid the flakes and still bring in monster classes. Michigan seems to be doing the same, and as long as Notre Dame isn't swooping in on the guys they want they seem like they'll be able to maintain that over the long haul.
First one, then the other. I've been pining for Urban Meyer's shovel option for a while now. You know, this thing:
It seems like a natural fit for Michigan for multiple reasons: it's just power blocking, which Hoke loves. It forces the defensive end to either cheat down on the pitch or potentially let Denard outside. If Denard makes a bad decision the potential for disaster is low—either he is running around for a small loss (or gain!) because he kept or he's throwing an incomplete pass. The main issue is finding a tight end who can run it, but if Michigan's throwing Hopkins on the field as an H-back sort he's got the chops to make that a viable option.
Once you've got that in the book, you could add bells and whistles like a quick cover-two beater on the edge to give that corner a problem he can't fix:
Michigan did run some run-plus-short-pass concepts like this last year…
…so this might be something to keep an eye on as Borges tries to get the most use out of Denard's legs in year two. Borges loves to add new stuff on the regular; it's 50-50 we see something like the above in 2012.
Speaking of Borges. He talks with Howard Griffith:
Money quote: "I don't want to have an offense with a name" because then people start running clinics on how to defend it.
Unintended consequences. The NCAA's recent adjustment of kickoff rules smacks of a public relations effort to assure people concerned about concussions that football is also concerned. The net impact of slightly changing 2% of a football game is going to be statistically zero when it comes to long term health outcomes, but it says to the world that the NCAA is Doing Something, so it passes.
It won't do much. It might not do anything since the NCAA made a change that seems counterproductive to its goals: it's changed kickoff touchbacks to the 25. This is supposed to encourage returners to take a knee. Instead it may encourage kicking teams to not put it in the endzone.
Florida State has one of the best kickoff specialists in the country, Dustin Hopkins. Last year his 29 touchbacks were a victory. This year some back of the envelope calculations by Tomahawk Nation suggest the Seminoles' optimal strategy on kickoffs from the 35 will be this:
LET'S RECAP - If FSU does indeed ask Hopkins to kick it just a little higher and a little shorter, we can realistically expect him to average the ball around the 2-3 yard line with a hangtime of around 4.6 seconds. This is enough time that the majority of the coverage team will be inside the 25 yard line, with the faster players being somewhere around the 20. One can expect first contact to be made somewhere inside the 15 yard line on average. If the return man dances or does not immediately run full speed after the catch, it could be even worse. It may be a common occurrence for many returns to fail to exceed the 10 yard line. That is epic.
85% of TN readers think that's the way to go. The NCAA probably just made kicking for a touchback a mistake. There's a good chance these new rules go the way of the Hated Clock Rules from about five years back.
Two options: idiot or fabulist. Good lord, Phil Birnbaum points out that the Berri study-type substance on NFL quarterback draft positions…
- Uses a regression to determine "expected" draft position instead of using, you know, draft position.
- Their regression on expected performance does show a correlation between draft position and performance, but it's not statistically significant, so they use that to say "there is no relationship between draft position and performance."
- Tom Brady alone accounts for 14% of the plays from quarterbacks drafted from 150-250.
David Berri is the worst statistician on the planet.
BONUS OHIO STATE SCHOLARSHIP SIGN UPDATE! With Jordan Whiting's transfer to Louisville the only scholarship business major on the team is a kicker.
Etc.: Another rat is poised to jump off Dooley's sinking ship. He's their recruiting coordinator and would be the seventh assistant to leave this offseason if he takes an equivalent position at Nebraska. Michigan NFL combine recap. Molk says things, people take offense, Molk seethes, repeat.

I have been a customer with freaken Penny Talk for over 8 years. Always use my card to recharge my account. I can buy at least $100 worth of penny talk a week. Recharged my account for $50 and after a couple of Minutes the call ended as usual. Tried again to make a call get a message that my account was in use when I still had $42+ left on my account. The next day I tried to make a call and get a message that my account had a $0 balance. Called customer service and they could not help. This… Read Full Review

However, I still get charged for the call (58 cents). I already called twice this week. Today I talked to an advisor.

I called because my son is using a Penny Talk card and my long distance charged me $150 for our calls. I THINK he wasn't accessing it correctly, so we'll work that out. The reason I don't completely UNDERSTAND what's going on is that their customer service is offshored and the representative barely spoke English. That's so frustrating and I am still not sure the problem was resolved because she couldn't understand me and I couldn't understand her. This is probably the last time I use it… Read Full Review

PennyTalk offers low-cost calling. It works from my house and my iPhone. I use a mobile app, and they waive the connection fee. I did some price comparisons against other phone companies. Compared to the usual big companies I can make my calls at about 10 percent of the usual cost by using PennyTalk. They even have a feature called Saveorites where I went online, gave them my frequently called numbers, and now I save even more. I love their product!… Read Full Review

Light comes in many forms—be it beautiful, like a rainbow, practical, like a laser, or awe-inspiring, like an applause sign's first live studio performance. Harness the beautifying power of light with this Groupon.
$249 for Six Zerona Laser Body-Sculpting Treatments ($895 Value)
Designed to spot treat problem areas, such as the abs, hips, back, and thighs, FDA-approved Zerona lasers shrink fat cells, resulting in lost inches. The noninvasive lasers penetrate down to the fat cells, where they disrupt the cells' membranes. This causes the fat cells to release their fatty acids into the body and shrink. The body then flushes out the expelled contents via the lymphatic system or burns them for energy.
The 40-minute treatments require little to no downtime and should take place within 72 hours of one another for maximum results. Though some clients begin to notice results after only a few sessions, most require four to six.
Royal Palm Wellness & MedSpa
The soft teal walls of Royal Palm Wellness & MedSpa's private treatment rooms shelter a variety of state-of-the-art devices designed to improve appearance without surgery. The licensed staff members fade fine lines and wrinkles with four different types of cosmetic injectables, including Juvéderm and Restylane, and wield specialized lasers to halt or restore hair growth, slim and contour the body, or shrink annoying younger siblings. The med spa also offers Botox treatments.
88% of 468 customers recommend
"people friendly it was nice"
"I really enjoyed the facial. Very friendly cosmetologist. I had a great time. Will come back again."
"Reflexology was great. Gave a great back massage also, not the usual sitting up back massage often given with reflexology."

"I have ordered this card twice, once for both of my girls. These cards are beautifully designed and give you the option for multiple pictures, easy to read information and even a quote you can change on the bottom. The cards have a nice sturdy paperweight and the photos are printed beautifully. I would recommend these cards."
"Personalizing my cards was super easy and once I approved the final design they printed and shipped them very fast, my cards arrived 7 days before the original expected date! I am so impressed. Thanks so much"
"The photos we had taken of our new baby had a lilac and grey background which perfectly complimented the colours on this card (I chose the grey print). I selected rounded corners and pearl shimmer finish and it was absolutely perfect. I also selected to print 3 pictures on the back side along with a quote- love how it turned out! A beautiful card!!"
"These announcements are absolutely beautiful. I called and placed our order over the phone and spoke to a gentleman that was extremely helpful in placing our order. I am very pleased with the way these announcements turned out for our new beautiful bundle of joy!!! Thank you Tinyprints!!!"
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."

Ceremonies and receptions
Ceremony and reception options abound with features such as cascading waterfalls, beautiful golf courses and natural terrains. For larger gatherings, our outdoor pavilion overlooking the greens comes alive in the evening, with twinkling lights on trees surrounding the adjacent rock waterfall. Count on comfort in all seasons, as our expansive space is equipped with ceiling fans, heat lamps and roll-down sides for wind protection. The Club's main dining room and attached outdoor terrace, with views of the golf course and canyon, is a more intimate setting for post-ceremony cocktails and dinner. Another alternative is the rustic elegance of the lounge, with its built-in bar, interior fireplace and outdoor fire pit on the adjoining patio. The Paraiso is an unparalleled indoor/outdoor room that overlooks the 18th green and sits adjacent to a running waterfall and twinkling lighted trees.
If an outdoor ceremony is what you are dreaming of, our lower outdoor patio offers a dramatic setting. As your ceremony is about to begin, friends and family take their seats near the flower-ringed half circle, which juts out over the Club's velvety fairways. As the ceremony starts, they'll turn and see you appear at the apex of the Club's dramatic stairway, ready to descend the long aisle to meet your groom. With the rolling hills of the Trabuco Canyon as a backdrop, you'll exchange your vows.

Carrickfergus (song)
"Carrickfergus" is an Irish folk song, named after the town of Carrickfergus in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The origins of the song are unclear, but it has been traced to an Irish language song, "Do bhí bean uasal" ("There Was a Noblewoman"), which is attested to the poet Cathal Buí Mac Giolla Ghunna, who died in 1745 in County Clare.[1]
The song appears on a ballad sheet in Cork City in the mid nineteenth century in macaronic form.[1] The Irish lyrics were about a man being cuckolded, a bawdy and humorous ditty. By contrast, the English lyrics are nostalgic.
With the Industrial Revolution, a linen-trade developed between Co. Antrim (where Carrickfergus is situated), and Co. Cork. It is possible the English lyrics came from snatches picked up in interactions between the Cork men and the Antrim men.
Robert Gogan[2] suggests Carrickfergus may have evolved from at least two separate songs which would explain why it does not have a consistent narrative. For example, the Ancient Music of Ireland, published by George Petrie in 1855, contained a song called "The Young Lady" which featured many but not all of the lyrics used in Carrickfergus. Gogan also refers to a recording of a song called "Sweet Maggie Gordon" which is kept in the Music for the Nation section of the US Library of Congress. It was published by Mrs Pauline Lieder in New York in 1880. It contains verses which are similar to Carrickfergus, but the chorus is closer to another Irish/Scottish folk song called "Peggy Gordon".
In modern times, "Carrickfergus" became known after actor Peter O'Toole related it to Dominic Behan, who put it in print and made a recording in the mid-1960s. The middle verse was allegedly written by Behan.
The song has been recorded by many well known performers including Ryan Kelly, Celtic Thunder, Paddy Reilly, Declan Affley, Joan Baez, Bryan Ferry, Dominic Behan, Charlotte Church, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Brian Dunphy, De Dannan, Subway to Sally, Joe Dassin (as Mon village du bout du monde), The Dubliners, Garnet Rogers, Brian Kennedy, Declan Galbraith, Irish Stew of Sindidun, Lisa Kelly, Cedric Smith, with Loreena McKennitt on harp (as Carrighfergus), Órla Fallon, Van Morrison, Bryn Terfel, Van Morrison and the Chieftains, Ronan Keating, Katherine Jenkins and Allison Moorer. It was also adapted in Scooter's song "Where the Beats...". The song is a popular request at folk festivals and concerts, and was played at the 1999 funeral of John F. Kennedy, Jr. The song was more recently performed by Loudon Wainwright III over the closing credits of HBO's series Boardwalk Empire. Furthermore, the Russian singer-songwriter Aleksandr Karpov (a.k.a. "Aleksandr O'Karpov") translated the lyrics into Russian, recording a Russian version of "Carrickfergus", also titled "За синим морем, за океаном" (Za sinim morem, za okeanom - "Beyond the blue sea, beyond the ocean").[3]
Closely related is the song "The Water is Wide", similar tune and very similar lyrics in some lines. Recordings by loads of people including Bob Dylan (Live), Pete Seeger, The Seekers and two former The Byrds, Roger Mcguinn and Chris Hillman, who both did solo versions.

Regulation of Pubertal Onset and Reproductive Development
- Angela Delaney, MD, Unit on Genetics of Puberty and Reproduction
- Rebecca Hicks, BA, Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award Fellow
- Zheng Zhang, MD, Special Volunteer
We are interested in identifying the initiating factors for pubertal onset in children. Our long-term goal is to define the developmental physiology of pubertal development in order to increase our understanding of human disorders of puberty and reproduction. In collaboration with the Reproductive Endocrine Unit (REU) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), we are conducting translational research on the neuroendocrine and genetic control of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion and its regulation of gonadotropin secretion and gonadal physiology. We use molecular, cellular, and biochemical techniques, as well as comprehensive clinical phenotyping of human subjects, to identify and characterize biological pathways that may contribute to the reactivation of GnRH secretion at puberty and to explore diagnostic techniques and treatment of disorders of puberty and reproduction.
The role of gonadotropin pulsations in the regulation of puberty and fertility
The rare clinical syndrome of isolated GnRH deficiency (IGD), also known as idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), presents with delayed, incomplete, or absent sexual maturation. Non-reproductive phenotypic features of this spectrum have been identified in some individuals, including anosmia, auditory defects, and skeletal, neurological, and renal anomalies. Defining the physiology of GnRH secretion is critical to understanding the clinical heterogeneity of IGD, particularly in light of emerging gene discoveries that aim to elucidate genotype-phenotype correlations.
Our clinical protocol, which is a multicenter study in collaboration with the REU at MGH, has identified a broad range of luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatility patterns and other features that are being investigated in the context of genetic variants, where identified, in order to increase our understanding of the ontogeny of these disorders. Our phenotyping efforts have discovered that uterine anomalies may represent a novel non-reproductive feature of IGD, which is now being investigated in our genetic study (below) to determine whether there is a common molecular cause for these phenotypes.
In addition, reversal of IGD occurs in approximately 20% of cases, and no reliable predictive factors have yet been identified. The physical hallmark of reversal of IGD in male subjects is testicular enlargement in the absence of treatment with gonadotropins or pulsatile GnRH, but there is no such physical sign of reversal in female subjects. As a result, the frequency of reversal in female subjects is largely unknown, with only several cases described, which were identified retrospectively (Sidhoum et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2014;99:861). We are now longitudinally monitoring our female subjects at approximately two-year intervals after their initial visit for a prospective evaluation in order to determine the frequency of reversal in female patients. The findings of this study will have important clinical implications for female patients with IGD.
Neurocognitive effects of sex hormone deficiency at or before puberty
There is little existing evidence for the neurocognitive effects of delayed puberty. We performed neurocognitive testing and structural and functional MRI on subjects with IGD, comparing them with healthy controls matched for age, sex, and race. Accounting for gender, our preliminary analysis found that cortical surface area was negatively correlated with age in the idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) group and positively or uncorrelated with age in controls in several brain regions. fMRI results showed that the magnitude and extent of blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) activation during a face recognition task was lower bilaterally in occipital regions in the IHH subjects than in control subjects. Neurocognitive testing showed preserved verbal and overall IQ, but significant deficits in several neurocognitive domains in IHH patients, including performance IQ, verbal memory and fluency, and processing speed. Our findings suggest that, in both sexes, pubertal sex steroid deficiency contributes to persistent structural and functional brain differences as well as to neurocognitive deficits primarily involving spatial ability and recognition memory, providing further direct evidence in humans for the critical spatiotemporal role played by appropriately timed pubertal sex steroids during normal brain development.
The molecular basis of inherited reproductive disorders
Human and animal models have identified several genes responsible for IGD, but more than half the patients with clinical evidence of the disorder do not have a detectable mutation. Furthermore, there is significant clinical heterogeneity among affected individuals, including members of the same family harboring the same mutations, which is often explained by oligo-digenic inheritance patterns. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in NICHD's Molecular Genomics Lab on 25 probands and some family members to identify novel genes responsible for IGD. Data analysis is under way, and our findings are likely to yield important insights into additional pathways involved in the regulation of GnRH secretion. In addition, we are recruiting additional families with IGD and known uterine anomalies, based on our discovery of several patients with this phenotypic combination. WES analysis in these families has the potential to identify a new non-reproductive feature of IGD, as well as a novel molecular pathway involved in the regulation of GnRH secretion and uterine development.
Premature reactivation of hypothalamic GnRH secretion result in idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP). There is evidence that familial cases account for anywhere from 20–45% of CPP, with most studies describing autosomal dominant inheritance patterns. Far less is known about the molecular basis of CPP, and it was only within the past year that convincing evidence for a causative mutation was identified, using WES, in MKRN3, the gene encoding makorin RING-finger protein 3. Candidate gene approaches have not been successful in identifying the molecular basis of the disorder, and an unbiased approach to gene discovery seems more likely to achieve the goal of identifying novel candidate genes responsible for premature GnRH secretion in CPP. We are now actively recruiting familial cases of idiopathic CPP to undergo WES analysis. We have established collaborations with Veronica Mericq and Paulina Merino, as well as with Paul Kaplowitz and Priya Vaidyanathan at the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Children's National Medical Center, Washington, DC, to increase enrollment, and we anticipate performing WES analysis on this cohort in the coming year. Examining the genetic characteristics of subjects with pubertal disorders will reveal insights into the mechanisms underlying the reawakening of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis at puberty. This will provide opportunities for new diagnostic capabilities and therapeutic interventions for disorders of puberty and reproduction.
Blockade of kisspeptin signaling in women
The neuropeptide hormone kisspeptin potently stimulates secretion of GnRH. While single doses of kisspeptin stimulate the reproductive endocrine axis, animal models suggest that continuous administration of kisspeptin paradoxically suppresses the reproductive endocrine axis temporarily by desensitizing the kisspeptin receptor. By administering 24-hour infusions of kisspeptin to healthy women and to patients with reproductive disorders, we hope to learn more about the role of kisspeptin both in normal physiology and in pathological conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common condition characterized by ovulatory dysfunction and hyperandrogenism. Among other disturbances of hormonal regulation, patients with PCOS have high amplitude, high frequency LH pulses, which may contribute to the oligo-anovulation characteristic of this disorder.
In collaboration with Stephanie Seminara, and funded through an NIH Bedside-to-Bench Award, we are currently enrolling healthy postmenopausal women to determine the safety of continuous kisspeptin administration in women and the proper dose and conditions required to achieve desensitization of the kisspeptin receptor. Subsequently, the peptide will be given to women with PCOS to determine whether abnormal kisspeptin signaling is involved in these disturbed endocrine dynamics. Greater understanding of how kisspeptin modulates GnRH secretion in this condition could lead to novel therapeutic interventions for this patient population.

First Woman Dean of Cardozo Law, First Cardozo Graduate Appointed
Victor Cueva '15, Immigrant Justice Corps Fellow, Featured in The New York Times: Program Providing Legal Help to Immigrants Will Expand Beyond New York City
New York Times - Victor Cueva, a 25-year-old Justice Corps fellow and soon-to-be graduate of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, is eager to give new immigrants in the Hudson Valley the help his family did not receive when it arrived there.
Philadelphia Inquirer - Peter Neufeld, codirector of the Innocence Project at Cardozo School of Law in New York, said the report documents an "epic miscarriage of justice," and urged creating national research and forensic standards "to prevent the exaggeration of results in reports and in testimony by crime lab analysts."
Gothamist - Cardozo Law School's Criminal Defense Clinic took the case pro bono, and law students, led by her lawyer, clinic director Jonathan Oberman, worked long hours to recreate the day she spent far from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Leslie Salzman to Become Clinical Education Director at Cardozo Law; Toby Golick to Retire After 30 Years of Overseeing Cardozo Clinics
Dean Matthew Diller has announced the appointment of Leslie Salzman as Director of Clinical Education at Cardozo effective July 1, succeeding Toby Golick, who is retiring after serving a remarkable 30-years overseeing the growth of clinical education at Cardozo Law.
ABA Journal - A few years later, DNA tests became sophisticated enough to be accepted by courts, and in 1992 Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld founded the Innocence Project to use DNA evidence in proving wrongful convictions. The project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York City has been the most successful such effort, with more than 300 exonerations.

Question from darkith
Where is the key for the gate between New Londo Ruins and Valley of Drakes?
I am looking for the key to the gate between New Londo Ruins and Valley of Drakes.
I do not have the master key. I have tried to open the gate from both sides and on both sides it says it is locked.
4 years ago
Do you know what the name of the key is? I've been through Blighttown pretty extensively already, but i will go back there and look again when I have a chance.
4 years ago
Accepted Answer
It is in Blighttown, after you beat Quelagg you need to go back into the swamp, hug the left wall until you get to a wooden structure, you'll get poisoned as you're doing this but you'll avoid the big guys with rocks. The wooden structure has a elevator. You take it up and go up ladder after ladder, be sure to watch out for bugs and poison darts, you can take care of the poison darts on one of the ladders. Once you reach the top of the ladders there'll be a chest close by. If you find yourself facing fatties you've gone too far

The key your looking for is in Blighttown. Im not sure of the exact location but try looking for ladders on the wodden platforms, youll find it before to long. Also, I think its later in the level.

The life of a football place kicker is said to be a lonely existence. It's a one-function responsibility that often means the difference between winning and losing.
Some kickers are manic. Some kickers aloof. Some are colorful.
As UC Davis prepares to enter its second season in the Big Sky Conference, Aggie field-goal specialist Brady Stuart is confident, personable and reliable.
Stuart, a junior by way of West Ranch High in Newhall, is coming off of a record-setting season during which his field goals became more and more important as the season progressed.
UCD finished 5-7 while the former prep soccer player hit 17 field goals (a new school benchmark) and at one point converted 10 straight.
In two years, he's 32-of-46.
Stuart, 21, took some time after a recent practice to chat about Aggie football as it relates to him.
"I've changed (from when) I first arrived in college," Stuart told The Enterprise. "I was really wrapped up in college, the fact that we're a Division I program and I had to be on point with everything. But now … I've just learned a lot, especially how to stay calm in certain situations.
"I'm not the same kid I was when I came in. I'm much more calm: if I miss a kick, I'm on to the next one. That (missed) kick won't bother me."
Stuart, who has been named to both the Fred Mitchell and College Football Performance Award watch lists — which point to the top kickers among Football Championship Subdivision squads — said he pays little attention to the accolades.
"I try to let them go," explained the 5-11, 163-pound right-footer. "Sure, I'm excited by (the notoriety), but I don't try to get into it.
"It's nice to hear about them, sometimes my parents give me a call and we talk about them … but I'll get the article and put it in my filing cabinet."
So what is Stuart's routine during games?
For the most part, he's a spectator. When the Aggies start driving, he becomes more intent. When UCD is in the attack zone, Stuart buckles his helmet.
"I'm not thinking about game-winning kicks on the sidelines," he said. "Family is usually in the stands, so I make sure I look at them. Point to them, then we both acknowledge each other like something's coming up. Then I start thinking about how I can help the team."
Then comes the simple warm-up …
Using a one-step approach on the sideline. Stuart gets his hamstring flexible then starts kicking in the net.
"Then I start thinking how happy my teammates will be when we win the game," he added with a chuckle.
So what does Stuart think about those last-second timeouts opposing coaches call in attempt to ice kickers?
"That doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I think it actually helps. I think every kicker will agree. At the very least, we get to warm up longer."
Brady is the youngest of six children born to Teri and Mike Stuart.
His four brothers (Brandon, Blake, Shane and Derek) have work in the entertainment industry (Dreamworks and ET) and his sister Taryn is an event planner.
A communications major, Stuart hopes his new-found interest in photography and videography will provide him with a career path after football.
But right now, it's all Blue and Gold and trying to do his part to help UCD improve on a 5-3 Big Sky Conference record and maybe give himself a chance at some big kicks in the postseason.
Notes: Stuart's Aggie career-best field goal is 47 yards. He says he kicked it between the uprights from 61 in practice at West Ramch High. "I'm comfortable from whatever distance they put me in." … Freshmen Justin Garza and Grant Hilton are working as UCD long snappers. Corey Galindo, London Lacy and Colby Wadman are sharing practice time holding for Stuart. … On Wednesday, the Aggie football team visited Shriners Hospital for Children in Sacramento. It marked the annual visit for UCD players and coaches each August, talking and playing games with the patients and learning about the important work being done by Shriners Hospitals. Senior offensive tackle Ian Joseph said the team's annual visit has become an Aggie highlight and something he looks forward to every year. "The biggest thing for me is opening each other's eyes to the world beyond football," he said. "During camp, we zero in to what we're doing and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But sometimes we get so much inside our own bubble that we don't realize how great we have it and how much we have to be grateful for." Joseph is majoring in anthropology and is eyeing a career in medicine. While a trip to Shriners Hospital might give him insight to his future, that's not the reason he loves going. "I'm not there for me, I'm there for them," he said.
