8:30 am
the worst is they are volatile in the stock market. they will get hit hard. >> two votes thumbs up for akamai. that's it for us. have a great weekend. eric boling is next. >> iceberg,
ahead. obamacare ahead. businesses have been warning that the health care laws will sink jobs like the titanic. did the white house just admit that the job creators are
and why a major about face from the administration is reigniting calls to fix this law for good? plus is a new nsa bombshell about to backfire on america's economy? the journalists telling me that the world will be shocked , shocked by the next shoe to drop. cashing in is starting
now. hi, everybody. welcome to "cashin in."
8:31 am
thanks, everyone. welcome, everyone. they say timing is everything. what better time than for the white house to descrop the news that it is putting off a major deadline on the health care law penalties and what better time to push the deadline until after the mid-term elections next year. monica, you say timing, there is no secret about the timing. >> no, it is not a coincidence. this is dropping faster than the titanic. they understand, the white house understands that you have tough democrats who wrote this monstrosity. they are saying this is a train wreck and it is so complex as to be incomprehensible. they know this thing is unworkable and now they are hearing from businesses. this is what we have been talking about for four plus years now. businesses are cutting hours. they are laying off workers. there are higher taxes coming and higher premiums in place. none of this is ready to go. the state exchanges aren't ready to go. all of this is collapsing
8:32 am
underneath its own weight and absurd tee. and so they realize they will put off the real horrors and they will decide to put it on when? until after the mid-term election. >> we will get to the politics in a minute. jonathon, stay on the business end of it. is it bad for people and businesses with more than 50 employees? maybe it is bad for businesses with under 50. maybe it is bad for regular americans as well. >> eric, it is bad for businesses and it is terrible for workers. it is warning about the affects and that's her workers. regal entertainment and tons of companies who have already cut hours or cut employees and the recent survey showed 41% of small businesses said they are having a hiring freeze altogether. this has helped no one, but power hungry hole tigses in dc and it is failing by design. it is centralized planning and
8:33 am
it is no wonder that it is a train wreck. >>
. and you don't seem surprised. >> no, i don't. i don't know why everybody is saying that all of a sudden all of this -- we knew this. this is old news, guys. we knew this was a dumb idea. we knew it from the start. you have 2,200 pages of garbage. it stacks up to being over eight feet high. there are 20,000 pages of regulations. you know this was a dumb law to start with. it never should have been passed. for it to go past the supreme court which is shear idiocy, that john roberts had to write an opinion that called it attacks because he couldn't figure out any other way to get it through, the whole thing is a bad idea. they should start all over. >> wayne -- not wayne, but christian, they say we need time, businesses need time to kind of get their books in ready on. books in order. are you kidding me? they have it mandated and they
8:34 am
pushed it through the supreme court. now they have more time? >> first of all a little perspective here. this so-called employer mandate applies to fewer than 1% of the firms collectively employ about a million people. this is not about the impact on all of the businesses. this is about a small sliver who have been complaining since day one about the regulatory burden of compliance and the administration has said, you know what, we will make it simpler. we will yield to you yet again because you complain yet again. this doesn't speak to the broader issue of health carrie form or business -- care reform or businesses in general. >> it actually speaks a tremendous unfairness. the president always talks about fairness. once again you have
's animal farm where certain favorite constituencies get one treatment and in this case, individuals see it rise 300% as a result of sew bough ma care and get the shaft.
8:35 am
minorities have rights too, you know. >> you want to jump in on this? >> i want to add to jonathon's point that congress tried to exempt itself and when word got out all hell broke loose. now they are subjected to obamacare too. they pushed it through on an i'd logical agenda. part of the reason was we need to do this fast because it will save lives. they had three years to implement this thing since the passage of the bill. none is ready. the ultimate objective is to get everybody off private health insurance and individual health insurance and into a single payer system. that's why we are seeing the collapse of all of this. it is all by design. >> the timing of this sounds so political to me. we are going to wait until 2015. what happens in 2014? mid-term elections. what are the democrats afraid of? running against republicans. the republicans remind everybody that this sinking
8:36 am
titanic obamacare was their idea. >> i agree with you about the motives. i don't agree with you about the overall assessment. i think you are absolutely
, eric.
doesn't want this to be a referendum on health care reform in the mid-term elections. he doesn't want to see ads talking about the 2 one-pages of regulatory questionnaires that businesses have to fill out. he wants to take that off the table. this is purely about politics. it has nothing to do with economics. i agree with you on that. >> if it is so bad to run in a mid-term election, maybe it is just not a good idea in general. >> it is not a good idea, eric. that's what i said. we know that. it has been picked over. we have had throw years of this. we have had three years of this. it was picked over in the first place. we know that. we know there are all of these regulations that cannot be complied with and counter to each other and it costs money. we know even the most bronzed plan they talk about, the cheapest plan will cost a
8:37 am
person $5,000. then you go and ultimately the platinum plans that are even more outrageous in costs, there is no way that this law makes any sense on any level. they have to erase it and start over. >> and to christian's point, it is not just the administration running from its own signature health care bill. it is doctors running from the practice of medicine. 83% of doctors say they are considering leaving the practice of medicine. you can keep your health care, but there will be far fewer people to administer it under obamacare. >> jonathon, you are
. there are some who already left. if you read some of the people , they said i'm leaving. >> monica, i want to ask you this. last week we talked about young people. young people may opt to take the penalty because the penalty is cheaper than going on obamacare. if they don't get young people signed up it will go down faster than the titanic. >> and the irs is the agency
8:38 am
enforcing the individual mandate which as far as we know still stands. you are absolutely
about the economics of this. you need masses of young people participating in obamacare in order to make the whole thing work. they are saying, number one, i will go without health insurance or number two i will take the hit on the fine and forget it. then the whole thing implodes. >> i might have a couple of seconds -- hold on. >> i think i have the solution to all of this. >> go ahead. >> i think you would agree with me. to make it less complex, less difficult for people to understand why don't we have a single payer system that is efficient, fair and universal. >> there you go. that's the objective,
? that's the ultimate goal. >> at least we know what they want. they want government to administer all of your health care and make all of your decisions. we'll have to leave you there. coming up, the french are crying over this nsa spy scandal. should we care and is there more fallout to come? >> there are vast programs of both domestic and
8:39 am
international spying the world would be shocked to learn about.
8:40 am
8:41 am
8:42 am
hello, everybody. crowds of people are once again gathering in egypt after a deadly night of protests. at least 30 people have died. meanwhile, senator john mccain is calling for the u.s. to suspend military aid to that nation. i will be sitting down with military analyst david hudd about the u.s.'s response. and as the crisis in egypt erupts it seems secretary of state john carey was on his boat in nantucket. in the beginning the state department denied he was on his boat, but then later changed the story after photographs emerged. a key provision of obamacare delayed this week as the move pushes back a requirement for businesses to provide health care for workers. we will talk with a small business owner on how this will impact his business. more on the top headlines coming up on the top of the hour of america's news headquarters. hope you will join us.
8:43 am
stop snooping or else. the president of france demanding the u.s. stop spying on allies in the eu and he even said he could delay trade talks with america costing hundreds of millions of dollars. the person who broke this sthooping storytelling me we haven't heard anything yet. listen. >> there are vast programs of both domestic and international spying that the world would be shocked to learn about. >> monica, are trade partners shocked that there is more to come? do you believe the eu has leverage to say we will stop the trade talks. >> let's be clear. nobody is shocked that anybody is spying on anybody and certainly not the united states. friends spy on friends. allies spy on allies. we are certainly spying on our enemies. this is the way the world has worked since spying technology -- you said since get smart.
8:44 am
none of this is a surprise. all of this huffing and puffing from the eu and the socialists in france, this is all nonsense. this is because their pride is hurt because after the snowden revelations it became public. they figure they have to huff and puff and attempt to try to do something to penalize the u.s. in the short-term it might actually hurt us a little bit, but not over the long-term. they need us more than we need them. >> the eu has problems of their own. i am guessing they want to do trade with us and they want more trade with us. >> you becha. they want it. they need it. they have to have it. look at the pigs. look at portugal, spain, italy, greece, they have disasterous economies. they need this much more than anything else. i agree. this is all nonsense and puffery. it would be more exciting if we learned that andrea merkle was having an affair with john carey. >> oh my god, what? >> that's the same level of this kind of thing. this will go away fast.
8:45 am
it will not interrupt any of the discussions. any of the discussions going forward. the eu wants it. we want it. it will work. >> why would they try and rattle the cage here? what is the end game? >> if they boycott us it is to their own detriment. trade helps everyone involved and to the extent the eu cuts it off, i think they are shooting themselves in the foot. the united states is still the most prosperous, the most individualistic and the most capitalistic country on earth. it does hurt us in terms of our reputation on the world stage. o -- we have lost the bailouts and our reputations as the world's defender. we don't need trade talks. we need to practice what we preach, protection of free trade and protection of individual rights. >> do you agree? protection of free trade. >> the way this international game works is all of your spying needs to be kept in secret. once it becomes public, then it becomes an issue and it
8:46 am
forces the people who are spied upon to thump their chest and say this is an outrage. but really, this is going to have no impact on the trade negotiations. there may be some nominal delay of a few weeks, but ultimately the u.s. and europe, our economies are integrally linked and there is no way there will be any diminishing of cooperation between the two areas. >> we only have a minute. let's bring it around the circle. let's start with wayne in the upper left corner. do we think other people aren't spying on us, wayne? >> no, no. we know other people are spying on us. we know that. everybody knows that. that's just under the surface. you can tay -- talks are going on and it will work. >> any surprise that they are spying on us too? >> if they are i wish we were more forthright on what we support. if the u.s. was more transparent in its advocacy for the principals we supposedly stand up for, i think it is to no avail.
8:47 am
>> christian? >> you know, everybody spies. it is what everybody does. no one is shocked or outraged. least of all the president of france who has his own intelligence operation. this is purely posturing. >> 99 -- i mean martha. >> i will take 99. she was cute. she was fierce. no, i mean, come on. this is feaux outrage and being indignant on the part of the europeans. come oeverybody is spying on everybody. >> we'll leave it there. you probably won't like this. the government is trying to buy your love on facebook with $600,000 of your money. is that a slap in the face?
8:48 am
8:49 am
but they can leave you feeling unsatisfied. ♪ give in to temptation, with sinfully delicious slimful chews. they taste like cheating, but one 90 calorie slimful chew and a glass of water can help satisfy hunger for hours. so you get the sweet chewy treat you crave and stay on your program too. slimful and a glass of water. eating less never tasted so good.
8:50 am
8:51 am
about this. the state department spending our tax dollars and trying to get more people to like its facebook page. i'm guessing there are 630,000 reasons why wayne does not like that being a buck for each one of them. >> you're
. it is outrageous. another budget blunder. they have too much money and too many people. you have to take the whole thing away from them. it is awful. they spent $630,000 on facebook stuff to promote it. it is crazy. >> let's keep in mind whose state department this was when this was happen expght money was being burned. hillary clinton. somehow hillary gets a pass on all of this? i don't think so. i think they had to do this.
8:52 am
who voluntarily was going to say i am liking now on facebook justin bieber and oh i like the state department too. they are super awesome. nobody would do that. >> i have to admit, i am on facebook all the time. i didn't even know i could buy likes. >> to what affect? >> it will make me feel good if i get more likes. >> it is just trying to apiece the muslim streak for the last 10 years hasn't done anything to make america safer. i don't think getting likes on facebook with the on-line world will do anything to increase america's prestige. we don't want to be liked. we want to be respected. what is needed is a better marketing campaign with some leadership and demonstration of american principals throughout the world. >> kristen, is there anyway in the world you can justify spending $630,000 to get people to like the state department facebook page. is there anything? >> there is a way to justify it. that's if that creates a community of people who are engaged and following the information that comes out from the state department.
8:53 am
now the point of the report is it didn't work. in that case it wasn't money well spent. if had created then gaged community it would have been a huge bargain. so the issue was not the money. the issue was it didn't work. that's what i want to focus on. >> let me push back. what in the world does the state department want them to like people on -- first of all they have a web page. they can put out all of the information. help me out here. >> these are websites that are in native languages of countries that we have problems with people who actually -- >> so they are not even american facebook, english speaking facebook users who are spending $600,000 to watch, to like us? >> that's
. you want to create movement in other countries where we have esh yous with people -- we have issues with people who may respect and like america. >> but that's the whole thing. you can't buy respect.
8:54 am
you can't buy it in the real world. you can't buy it on facebook. just because somebody clicks like, it doesn't mean that hillary clinton would have you believe they advocate and understand the principals they are projecting. we may talk a good game on facebook, but i don't think we practice the principals in our advocacy around the world. >> and you are so
about the respect part. we don't want to be liked in the world. we want to be respected. but i would add one other thing, we need to be feared and yes i said feared. and under president
we are neither respected nor feared. >> the tours are closed to kids who what president to go and learn about what goes on in dc. they want to see the white house. they are closed because of sequestration. now we will spend $630,000 on sequestration. would you rather have white house tours open or more people liking the state department? >> obviously white house tours open. but the whole sequestration
8:55 am
thing was a myth. the president said everything is shutting down and we will have sequestration and everything will be cut back and nothing and going to work and nothing. nothing. we haven't experienced anything. it is just crazy. and this idea of spending $630,000 is out the door. they might as well be giving it away. it is so ridiculous the whole thing. you have to stop it. >> it is so ridiculous that it has to be true. that's how crazy it is. i like all of you guys. we will say thank you to monica and christian for joining us this week. >> pleasure. >> coming up, what is happening in egypt over there could impact us here.
8:56 am
8:57 am
8:58 am
time for what do i need to know for next week. people are flocking to the show and i think it is john's picks and wayne's common sense. let's go with wayne first.
8:59 am
go ahead. >> i like ford motor company. i talked about it about a year ago and it is up 40% since then. i think that is a terrific return and i still lining it. i think -- i still like it. it is great for the automobile industry. >> go ahead. >> in the last five years egypt's stock market is down. how much worse can the news get. i own it on my fund and now is a good time for an initial position. >> thanks for joining us on the cost of freedom block. before we go, one of my blog sites asks the twitter followers to sum up the delay in three words. here are a few of my favorites, rushed, mandated delayed, not so fast, big freaking delay, not thought through, this is embarrassing and my own
9:00 am

If I understand correctly, each time someone downloads a plugin from the WP Plugin Directory (the big red download link on each plugin's page) the internal counter records it as +1 on the Stats tab/pane. Cool. Ok, assuming that's the way it works...
Can I place that same direct-download link on my website for my visitors to download my plugin? Or, do I need to first link to the WP Plugin Directory page for my plugin, and have them download it there? If I can direct-link, will the counter still increase, or does the +1 accrue only when the visitor downloads from the WP Plugin Dir page?
Thanks, anyone, for your help!

South Africa Bails Out Swaziland as Cash Crunch Fueled Riots
South Africa agreed to lend Swaziland, Africa's third-largest sugar producer, 2.4 billion rand ($356 million) to help its neighbor plug a budget shortfall that sparked riots in April.
South Africa's government will guarantee the loan that will be paid through the central bank, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan told reporters in the capital, Pretoria, today. Reserve Bank spokesman Hlangeni Mathebula had earlier said the loan was 2.5 billion rand.
Swaziland, a landlocked country of 1.2 million people bordering South Africa and Mozambique, raised taxes and cut state spending this year after losing a third of its revenue when the global economic crisis slashed income from a regional customs union. Police fired tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons to break up anti-government riots in April. The state may need to cut salaries by half if loan requests are rejected, Swazi Finance Minister Majozi Sithole said June 27.
The crisis "has manifested in a budget shortfall that the government of the Kingdom of Swaziland is unable to finance," Gordhan said. "While the need for fiscal reforms is the primary objective, this has to be anchored by governance reforms."
Rand Peg
The Swazi currency, the lilangeni, is pegged one-to-one with the rand, which weakened 0.2 percent to 6.7805 per dollar as of 4:40 p.m. in Johannesburg. The average yield on 182-day Treasury Bills jumped to 6.446 percent at a July 27 auction by Swaziland's central bank from 5.8 percent on Jan. 20. The equivalent notes by South Africa's central bank were 5.72 percent on July 29.
No competitive bids were received for 100 million emalangeni ($14.8 million) worth of 91-day and 182-day bills today, the country's central bank said in an e-mailed statement.
The loan is conditional on "governance reforms" in Swaziland and the government holding talks with "all stakeholders" in the country, Gordhan said. Swaziland is also required to cut fiscal spending and protect the currency peg, he said.
Labor unions in Swaziland and South Africa have demanded political reforms in sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarchy and are opposed to a bailout that doesn't include that condition.
The 43-year-old King Mswati III appoints the country's prime minister, while its lawmakers aren't allowed to belong to political parties. Mswati, who has ruled the nation for 25 years, has 14 wives and a personal fortune of $200 million, according to Forbes magazine.
Wage Cuts
South Africa, which has an unemployment rate of 25.7 percent, is concerned a collapse in Swaziland may lead to a "flood" of immigrants across its border, Jerry Matjila, the director-general of South Africa's international relations department, said June 22.
Gordhan said Swaziland must cut fiscal spending in line with targets set by the International Monetary Fund. The IMF has recommended Swaziland cut state salaries by 10 percent.
The European Union said the financial aid it gives to Swaziland is "ongoing" and doesn't involve budget support to the country. The EU pledged in 2007 to give Swaziland 2.2 billion rand in the six years through 2013, most of it to the sugar industry, it said in an e-mailed statement today

When Grammy-nominated American ensemble the Enso String
Quartet performs in Dunedin on Monday, the programme will
feature a commissioned work by Dame Gillian Whitehead. No
stars, not even clouds ... was written in memory of Dame
Gillian's friend, historian Juanita Ketchel, and draws "on
the Otago accent of the korimako or bellbirds, that seem to
sing vociferously every time I sit down to write".
The quartet is joined by German pianist Michael Endres for
the concert, which is part of Chamber Music New Zealand's
2012 "Kaleidoscopes" season.
Enso has a 2010 Grammy nomination for best chamber music
performance, for their recording of the Ginastera quartets,
to its name, while the quartet members hold degrees from Yale
University, The Juilliard School, Curtis Institute of Music,
New England Conservatory, Guildhall School of Music, and the
University of Canterbury. In 2009 they were the recipients of
a Chamber Music America commissioning grant with composer
Kurt Stallmann.
The Dunedin concert, at the Regent, also features Argentinian
composer Ginastera's second string quartets.

Real-time validated polling and analytics
Who should you listen to? The vocal few? The silent majority? We know sometimes a small number of people can dominate town hall meetings. And we know city staff can spend hours compiling mailing campaigns, or on social media and email, just to understand what citizens want. Polco lets you reach all citizens and collect their input in a verified and validated way.
Have you ever been to a city council meeting? If not, we understand. We're all busy and sometimes it's impractical. But someone is going, and if it's not you, you're giving up your chance to be heard. You might be surprised at the things you miss - new parks (or parking lots), tax increases, traffic laws - many things that affect all of us. Polco lets you quickly see what's going on in your city and vote on issues, so your representatives know how you feel.

This is a gross habit that people initiate when they are eating. The louder they suck their fingers when they eat, the more horrible and worse it is. There are things to prevent this: see napkin, manners.
If people think childishly sucking on their thumbs or biting their fingernails are nasty and bad habits, then why don't they think the same bout finger licking? What do they all have in common? They all involve fingers in the mouth!!!

Skip to comments.Campaign launches 'People of Faith for Obama'
Posted on 09/17/2012 3:26:15 PM PDT by ColdOne
The Obama campaign is launching a new outreach effort directed at religious voters.
In a new web video uploaded to YouTube Monday, Obama made an argument for faith in the public square and talked about how it guided his presidency.
"Faith isn't just a footnote in our nation's story," Obama said. "It reinforces the very essence of America."
"These shared moral obligations have guided me as president,"
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Destroying marriage. Killing babies. Siding with enemies of Christianity.
What faith?
No to God No to God No to God.......that type of faith?
Obama is a "seasonal" Christian, the season being, election time.
Proving once again that cheap talk is Obama's most precious commodity.
"My Muslim Faith"
sounds very mooselim to me - people who worship Lucifier like all these destructive beliefs and many more.
How much longer till we see....
Faithless People For Obama.
I know many evangelical Christians and faithful Jews who are "people of faith" and like Obama. It baffles the heck out of me. But there they are!
Thank you for my first lol of the day!
Which Faith?
You know the one that says you should be your brother's keeper.
Inspired by the father of all lies.
If they want to follow their false god, there is nothing we can do but pray. Their reckoning will come later.
If they support Obama they must be relying on their faith because they certainly aren't using their brains.
Zero should get hit with a lightning bolt for that.
I have no doubt that Obama has faith, but in who?
Losing Black Christain votes.
Santa Muerte
Baron Samedi
"Faith isn't just a footnote in our nation's story," and "It reinforces the very essence of America." and "These shared moral obligations have guided me as president,"
When Obama talks about faith, one must ask "what does he mean by the word faith?"
The Obama tactic is to say just enough to make you think in a direction he wants to take you, however, he lets you fill in any detail that completes the picture you want to have of him.
Listen to his words and then look at his actions.
He uses the word "faith" and it conjures up your own faith experience, right?
He knows that, so your faith experience becomes his own. He is able to make you think that you and he have some sort of "shared faith" experience.
Look at his actions. He works overtime to decrease your ability to preserve your own faith in God. His healthcare measures strike at the very heart of our dearly held, inalienable, God-given rights.
Is that the mark of a man who really shares your faith in God?
Great post!!!! all so true.
Michael R. Wear, who has worked in the White House for the past three and half years, will move to Chicago to become the campaigns Faith Vote director
Wear, who was raised a Catholic but now attends a nondenominational, evangelical-style church in Washington, has spearheaded White House outreach to evangelicals and has focused on policy issues like adoption throughout Obamas first term
Muslim faith or Black Theology faith....pretty much the same. Both hate Jews and America.
People of faith in what?
BULLSTALIN. He does not agree with this statement in the ways that you might think. He has repeatedly removed "endowed by our Creator" from his citing of the Declaration of Independence.
He has boasted that he holds a "healthy skepticism of organized religion" that he got from his agnostic mother (falsely claimed as Christian by his "fight the smears" website in 2008).
He may be right. Anti-Christ is his "messiah."
"Interesting" that Obama, who has never missed an oppportunity to say how he DOES NOT LIKE the reference to the Creator in the Declaration of Independence used the reference in the quote on his webpage. Serpent speaks with forked tongue.
>>The President returned to the values and spirit of America that has made it the most exceptional nation in the world:
As Americans, we believe we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights,..."
Sounds "okay" from here.
But perhaps he means "An America that is divided. An America that is racist. An America that still believes old superstitions and myths. An America that still resents homosexuals..."
To an antiAmerican, he could be making the point that it is part of what was and is wrong about this nation at its core.

Hi ladies,
I noticed in the introduction thread that several of us would like to drop a few pounds before we officially start TTC.
Anyone want to share any favorite tips: best fat busting exercises, filling but healthy snacks, etc?
I'm 31 and would like to lose about 30-40 pounds before getting pregnant. I've dropped a ton of weight before, but it seems like the older I get, the harder it gets to lose even 5 pounds.

hahah, yah im not one of the bright ones :) I did answer your earlier question, for what its worth -- did you want me solve it for you too? You managed just fine without anyone else. Im impressed, actually, finally someone that didnt NEED a smart one or in my case, I guess, a not-so-smart one. :)
Beat it.
yah youre a class act, alright. In case you didnt notice that was a compliment. How bout you take your 2 threads and limp back to where you came from, eh? I wont bother trying to be nice again.
Ive helped more ppl on this forum than have prolly looked at your site, but you toss out snide remarks because you get a one word answer. That's called agreeing, in case you didnt know.
.. and since youve resolved this, how bout setting it as resolved.
LOL. Well BRAVO! @ your forum accomplishments , visiting my website & researching how many other topics I've created. Good job at being so engulfed into me!
However, are you done yet with these paragraphs of bitter tangents? I'd like to start "letting it go" now and digressing. mk honey buns? k. :-)

A Quincy attorney has been placed on probation after admitting he tried to sneak Suboxone, a Class B substance, into a courtroom to give to a defendant.
On Tuesday, Michael Lustig, 45, pleaded guilty in Chelsea District Court to possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance. Judge Michael Nestor sentenced Lustig to 18 months probation, during which he must undergo substance abuse treatment, submit to random drug and alcohol testing and continue to receive counseling.
If the case had proceeded to trial, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office said it had evidence proving Lustig used his position as an attorney on Nov. 13 to try to sneak Suboxone, a drug used to treat opiate addiction but also sold and used illicitly, into Chelsea District Court.
Prosecutors said Lustig intended to deliver the drugs to Alicia DeMarco, 28, of Reading, who was in court to face a separate drug charge. DeMarco was not Lustig's client.
The case started after State Police narcotics detectives received a tip that Lustig intended to deliver drugs to DeMarco.

Liquor control board revokes license of Doug's Bar in BenningtonMarch 30,2013Vt. liquor board
revokes bar license
BENNINGTON — A downtown bar, Doug's on Main Street, was shut down abruptly on Friday after their liquor license was revoked by the Vermont Liquor Control Board following a hearing on Wednesday, according to Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette.
Sgt. Thomas Curran, who serves with the Vermont Department of Liquor Control, served the paperwork at DOM, Inc., which operates as Doug's Bar. The papers were given to Doug Goble, who owns the business along with his mother, Mary Goble.
The order gives Goble 15 days to remove the alcohol from the premises.
Doucette said Doug's can no longer serve, sell or give alcohol away. If alcohol is served there, it would be a criminal offense that could be punishable by a $1,000 fine or a six-month jail sentence.
The bar was shut down after an undercover operation uncovered violations in January. Another undercover operation resulted in a 10-day liquor license suspension in September.
Doug's has been a controversial business in Bennington. The Select Board has had several discussions about the business based on reports from Doucette that several criminal incidents either happened at Doug's or involved people who had been drinking there.
Doucette said Doug's had been the site of more than 100 incidents since he took over as chief in 2010. Doucette said Goble was very cooperative when the order was served on Friday.MORE IN This Just In

First, thank you for this awesome plugin! You've obviously spent a lot of time on it. I especially appreciate your terrific documentation here and within the code!
We're using woocommerce to manage a product catalog, and, because of the way the client wants the users to be able to search and filter products, we've implemented custom fields for them.... and we're using custom fields for the product "variations" as well. Don't worry if you're not super familiar with how all this works, that's just some background to set up what I need to do.
The custom fields show up perfectly for our product content type. And they and also for our product_variation content type.
The snag is that you don't really add product_variations singly. They are added from within a product. So there's a metabox for product variations when you're on the product create/edit screen. In that metabox, woo adds its "attributes" and any custom attributes you've added... but it doesn't include any custom fields (attributes are not custom fields; they're all stored in one field in a serialized array). So... I need to add the custom fields from CCTM to this variations metabox. There is a hook in woo for me to write a function that runs after a variations' attributes are printed, so I know from that standpoint I can add the custom fields. But... to cut a long story, well, long... what I need to know is:
What CCTM function do I hook into to print out the custom fields metabox within this metabox, you know, just like it prints out in its own metabox? I'm looking at CCTM_form_element.php and the
get_create_field_instance and
get_edit_field_instance functions... and I think there is probably something a little higher up in the chain that I should use... something that would call these functions...
thank you so much!

Directed Study is an option that allows busy PEL students to take a course in a more flexible format.
We offer directed study courses in eight and sixteen week terms. Some of the senior courses are offered in directed study format, depending on the major. Some senior courses are offered as directed study tutorials and will require some meeting time, generally on the weekend.
The Directed Studies Area Includes:
Many PEL students have been successful in directed study. However, here are few things that you should consider before you sign up. Directed study requires that you work independently. Although you should have no problem sticking to the schedule, you must budget your time accordingly. Failure to submit assignments in a timely manner can adversely affect financial aid and jeopardize completion of the course. If you have any questions or issues, be sure to contact the instructor for advice.
We do not recommend that students begin directed study until they have completed a few in-class courses. However, if you have questions about directed study as an option, consult with your advisor.
Please explore your directed study options in these pages. You will find course listings and sample syllabi that will help you understand the requirements for each course. These pages also describe how to register for a Directed Studies course and how to submit assignments. Please feel free to call Anne Anderson in the Directed Studies office at 727-864-8884 if you have questions about the logistics of directed study or need assistance using Moodle.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any problems or issues with your directed study.

Personal Note:
Poem Title:
With short, sharp violent lights made vivid, To the southward far as the sight can roam, Only the swirl of the surges livid, The seas that climb and the surfs that comb, Only the crag and the cliff to nor'ward, And rocks receding, and reefs flung forward, And waifs wreck'd seaward and wasted shoreward On shallows sheeted with flaming foam. A grim grey coast and a seaboard ghastly, And shores trod seldom by feet of men -- Where the batter'd hull and the broken mast lie They have lain embedded these long years ten. Love! when we wander'd here together, Hand in hand through the sparkling weather, From the heights and hollows of fern and heather, God surely loved us a little then. Then skies were fairer and shores were firmer -- The blue sea over the bright sand roll'd; Babble and prattle, and ripple and murmur, Sheen of silver and glamour of gold -- And the sunset bath'd in the gulf to lend her A garland of pinks and of purples tender, A tinge of the sun-god's rosy splendour, A tithe of his glories manifold. Man's works are craven, cunning, and skillful On earth where his tabernacles are; But the sea is wanton, the sea is wilful, And who shall mend her and who shall mar? Shall we carve success or record disaster On her bosom of heaving alabaster? Will her purple pulse beat fainter or faster For fallen sparrow or fallen star? I would that with sleepy soft embraces The sea would fold me -- would find me rest In luminous shades of her secret places, In depths where her marvels are manifest, So the earth beneath her should not discover My hidden couch -- nor the heaven above her -- As a strong love shielding a weary lover, I would have her shield me with shining breast. When light in the realms of space lay hidden, When life was yet in the womb of time, Ere flesh was fettered to fruits forbidden, And souls were wedded to care and crime, Was the course foreshaped for the future spirit -- A burden of folly, a void of merit -- That would fain the wisdom of stars inherit, And cannot fathom the seas sublime? Under the sea or the soil (what matter? The sea and the soil are under the sun), As in the former days in the latter The sleeping or waking is known of none, Surely the sleeper shall not awaken To griefs forgotten or joys forsaken, For the price of all things given and taken, The sum of all things done and undone. Shall we count offences or coin excuses, Or weigh with scales the soul of a man, Whom a strong hand binds and a sure hand looses, Whose light is a spark and his life a span? The seed he sowed or the soil he cumber'd, The time he served or the space he slumber'd, Will it profit a man when his days are number'd, Or his deeds since the days of his life began? One, glad because of the light, saith, "Shall not The righteous judges of all the earth do right, For behold the sparrows on the house-tops fall not Save as seemeth to Him good in His sight?" And this man's joy shall have no abiding Through lights departing and lives dividing, He is soon as one in the darkness hiding, One loving darkness rather than light. A little season of love and laughter, Of light and life, and pleasure and pain, And a horror of outer darkness after, And dust returneth to dust again; Then the lesser life shall be as the greater, And the lover of light shall join the hater, And the one thing cometh sooner or later, And no one knoweth the loss or gain. Love of my life! we had lights in season -- Hard to part with, harder to keep -- We had strength to labour and souls to reason, And seed to scatter and fruits to reap. Though time estranges and fate disperses, We have had our loves and loving mercies. Though the gifts of the light in the end are curses, Yet bides the gift of darkness -- sleep! See! girt with tempest and wing'd with thunder, And clad with lightning and shod with sleet, The strong winds treading the swift waves sunder The flying rollers with frothy feet. One gleam like a bloodshot swordblade swims on The skyline, staining the green gulf crimson A death stroke fiercely dealt by a dim sun That strikes through his stormy winding sheet. Oh, brave white horses! you gather and gallop, The storm sprite loosens the gusty reins; Now the stoutest ship were the frailest shallop In your hollow backs, or your high arch'd manes. I would ride as never a man has ridden In your sleepy swirling surges hidden, To gulfs foreshadow'd, through straits forbidden, Where no light wearies and no love wanes.

This Week's Obsession: Most Snakebit Player in Recent Memory
Melanie Maxwell/Ann Arbor.com
The Question:
What it says in the title duh. Note: other than Drake Johnson, who was obviously the inspiration for this.
The Responses:
Ace: Two years ago, it was hard to imagine Caris LeVert would make a list like this. After forcing John Beilein to burn his redshirt and contributing to the 2012-13 title game squad, he played an effective second banana to Nik Stauskas on a 2013-14 team that nearly made it back to the Final Four and set the (since surpassed) KenPom standard for offensive efficiency. The blueprint was there for LeVert to step into Stauskas' role as a junior, play at or near an All-American level, lead a deep tourney run, and then face a difficult decision about whether to turn pro early.
|Lucy will let him get back on the court next time, Charlie Brown. [Bryan Fuller]
Instead, Michigan struggled out of the gate in 2014-15, suffering a few humiliating defeats as the team failed to gel around LeVert, who struggled to maintain his sophomore-year efficiency. As Michigan survived a last-second, game-tying attempt by Northwestern at Crisler in mid-January, LeVert went down clutching his foot while the rest of the team celebrated. On a seemingly innocuous play, he'd suffered a season-ending injury; without him, Michigan missed the postseason, and LeVert returned to try it again his senior year.
LeVert looked fantastic, putting up All-American-level numbers as the team's centerpiece, and Michigan made it through non-conference play with a quality win over Texas and no bad losses. LeVert was poised to lead his team to a decent NCAA seed while cementing his standing as a first-round NBA prospect. Then, in the waning moments of the conference opener at Illinois, it happened again: LeVert stepped on a defender's foot, rolled his ankle, and came up limping.

No update on his recruitment but hanging out with Gardner can't hurt now that Al Borges is gone.
Hello Linebackers
Josh Ross ('17), brother of ex-LB James, has committed to Michigan live on @michiganinsider pic.twitter.com/Aq1okLH8mM
— Zach Shaw (@_ZachShaw) March 22, 2016
Michigan picked up commits from MI LB Josh Ross and 2018 OH LB Antwaun Johnson over the past couple days; Johnson's hello post was updated earlier today; Ross gets his turn tomorrow. Both are four-star types. Ross cited Don Brown's defense as a major attraction:
"Just based on what he showed me with that defense, it fits me perfectly. I just can't pass the opportunity up. I just had to take it. He really blitzes his linebackers. I know last year there was a couple of plays where I got right through on blitzes, and I'm getting better and better at blitzing. That's a lot of what he does and I can see myself in his system."
Older brother James was born four years too early. Would have been a Don Brown dude for sure.
The potato door opens in 2018
Ross was always likely to follow his brother to Ann Arbor, but Johnson is an alpaca out of nowhere. His commit is a significant one for Michigan since Jim Harbaugh hadn't exactly emphasized a nearby state with a lot of talent (and Michigan's main rival) in it. Since Harbaugh's arrival only Nolan Ulizio, a late flier Michigan flipped from UConn, has fled the potato state for the friendly confines of Ann Arbor.
So. Johnson is not only a very good player in his own right but also a thorn in OSU's side. He is also the teammate of OH DE/DT Leonard Taylor, an early five-star in the 2018 class. Taylor visited along with Johnson and came back making positive noises:
"It was an A+ visit," he said. "Definitely an A+. It was really an eye-opening visit for me to see Michigan in person. It definitely had an at-home feeling to it. I didn't feel out of place there."
More significantly, he immediately scheduled a return trip for the Spring Game. Two visits in a month and a teammate committed should give Michigan a very real shot at landing Taylor. Lorenz has a "hunch" that Taylor pulls the trigger in the near future in Michigan's favor, which is… rather something, that.
every recruit gets their Peppers photo, including Jaelen Gill.
In addition to the Springfield duo, Michigan also hosted 247's early #1 in the state, OH RB Jaelen Gill. He returned from that visit downright effusive:
"Academics, the atmosphere, the campus life, and great football," he said of the Wolverines. "The people at Michigan are wonderful."
That's a really short article but there are a couple more very encouraging quotes in it all the same. Lorenz followed up with an Inside Michigan Recruiting in which he states the visit "couldn't have gone much better"… but that he's still guessing OSU. Even so the vibe is great, man.
Per a guy on Bucknuts, Gill is not a native Ohioan and is in fact from New Jersey originally. So… all of a sudden it's not too far fetched that Michigan gets three of the top five in the 2018 Ohio class. Harbaugh? Harbaugh.
AJ Harris may or may not be on commit watch
AL S AJ Harris also came up for a visit and was momentarily expected to commit yesterday. That did not happen, obviously. Harris remains very high on Michigan, naming them his outright leader after the visit:
"They are my top school," said Harris. "They are just from the academic standpoint. One of the best out of any school I have visited and by far the best coaching staff that you will get at the college level."
Lorenz fired off a crystal ball, and it sounds like Harris is just letting things marinate before pulling the trigger. If there is a complication it would be on Michigan's end, as they have guys like MI S Jaylen Kelly-Powell high on their board.
Hansard announces announcement
Top 7 〽⚔ #GodBless pic.twitter.com/xTOcGwBQvk
— Fred Hansard (@Fred_Hansard56) March 18, 2016
NJ DT Fred Hansard will announce his destination on May 14th, his birthday. Michigan is amongst his seven finalists and his destination is very much am mystery. His crystal ball has a couple Rutgers picks from Guys Who Hilariously Pick Rutgers For Every High Profile NJ Recruit, a couple Penn State picks from Guy Who Fires Off A Guess At Every Recruit In The Country, and then the Temple 247 guy goes with M.
Bill Kurelic notes that in his tweet he "appears to be wearing an Ohio State helmet" and let's see if there might be a reason for that…
Sullivan thinks it's Penn State, FWIW.
Spring practice visitors
AJ Dillon, a LB/RB out of Massachusetts, is on campus right now. Early yet; Michigan is in a top five with Wisconsin, ND, FSU, and Virginia. Meanwhile Sam Webb reports a bunch of guys came in for practice on Monday. One, Ross, already committed, and AJ Harris may be next.
Another interesting name is PA OL CJ Thorpe, who told Brice March that he is "extremely interested" and will pare his list down after a couple more unofficials. Thorpe told Lorenz he had a "sense of comfort" in Ann Arbor and that he would like to return for a fuller experience. This one would be a brutal blow to Penn State if Michigan can pull it off… he's a legacy.
Top X lists, tentative visits, you know the drill
- PA RB D'Andre Swift has Michigan amongst a long list of schools that he intends to visit. That list includes anyone who's anyone. Also Penn State. He does not tip his hand in any particular direction in the above article.
- AL WR Nico Collins doesn't have a top four but his top four is Michigan, Georgia, Bama, and Clemson. Bud Elliott also lists his height at a Funchess-esque 6'5". Collins just impressed at a regional Opening camp ("precise in his routes, caught everything with his hands and did it all on a 200-plus pound frame") and will visit for the Spring Game.
- CN by way of FL WR Josh Palmer got his first offer from Michigan and has been on campus; he tells Tim Sullivan that he wants to see a few other Big Ten schools like Illinois and Maryland and sure let's just put Syracuse in the Big Ten because they're a mediocre program that might have some television subscribers attached. Uh. Then he will fire off a commit after spring. Michigan could be the choice but I'd be surprised if they took a three-star early when they aren't going to have big numbers at the spot and they are after Collins and Peoples-Jones.
- Three star NJ OL Joshua Fedd-Jackson has a top three of UNC, Rutgers, and Michigan. He plans an early April visit to M… but probably not for the spring game since he'll be at UNC that weekend.
- Three star CA WR/TE Grant Calcaterra will drop by Michigan on a seven-school Midwest tour. Calcaterra is a former teammate of 2016 signee Dylan Crawford and his list is academically-oriented, so if Michigan decides they've got room for him they'll likely be in it to the end.
- Michigan offered TX CB Kary Vincent Jr, wants to visit, no definite plan, no top list. "Loves" Harbaugh, FWIW.
- NV CB Alex Perry didn't want to leave the West before a Michigan offer came in; now he wants to get out for Unspecified Visit. He's got an odd list for a four star guy: he decommitted from Arizona State, visited TCU, and talks up Colorado some. As always, wait to see if he actually sets foot on campus.
- FL CB Randall Haynie has a top five of M, Duke, Vandy, Wisconsin, and WVU. Grew up watching Denard, knows O'Korn, academic-oriented top five… if Michigan pursues they'll be in it.
Grudging 2018 mentions of the week
Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman 2018 QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson told me "#Michigan is definitely in my top three" pic.twitter.com/vETwZHsxtc
— Brice Marich (@BriceMarich) March 21, 2016
NV QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson visited and put Michigan high on his list, as you can see above. He seems, uh, enthused:
BY FAR MY MOST ENJOYABLE VISIT THUS FAR! The Whole Staff Treated Me Like Family & I Felt Welcomed ! #GoBlue 〽 pic.twitter.com/4nrTjU7Xm9
— DorianThompsonRob... (@DoriansTweets) March 21, 2016
Thompson-Robinson has that Harbaugh Let's Capitalize Every Word thing going on, and his twitter handle was carefully curated by Jon Bois.
Significantly, that tweet follows visits to Florida State, Michigan State and Ohio State. He hasn't gotten a flood of offers yet; if Michigan does send one out he's likely to be in the 2018 class.
Happy Trails
IN LB Pete Werner fired off a commitment to ND shortly after visiting both ND and Michigan. Indiana Catholic school kid was always an uphill battle. Lorenz notes that KS TE Trevor Kent is trending to Oklahoma on the crystal ball and could commit this weekend on a trip to Norman.
Unverified Voracity Cheats At Dodgeball
Dodgeball got heated. Denard and Devin talk to Isaiah Hole at the A4 camp:
Battle status. Still no commitment, apparently planning on taking what would be his final official visit to either UConn or Kentucky, door with Michigan may remain open. Jarron Cumberland's visit did not result in a commit($) and there is no public mention of an offer, but Sam Webb says that things went very well and that you shouldn't read much into that.
Meanwhile, Syracuse blog Nunes Magician* has some insider info:
NunesMagician.com was told earlier today that the official visit went "very well," but Jim Boeheim did not receive a commitment. …
As each day goes by, Syracuse fans should feel less optimistic. The staff has been on the 5-star New Jersey native since his freshman year. He has visited the campus multiple times, but is still tentative to pull the trigger.
This is kind of how I feel about Jonathan Jones, the Florida linebacker who seems like he's been on the verge of a commit for months now.
In any case, Duke is not getting involved again, Syracuse doesn't seem like a particularly appealing destination for Battle for whatever reason (a good one: they are down a quarter of their scholarships for as long as Battle will be in college), and UConn is currently in the American. If he does visit Kentucky that blows up the "distance is the main factor" thing.
Maybe the door is still open? If not it sounds like Cumberland will be in the class pretty soon.
*[The name of this is a long story involving a bad quarterback.]
Bonjour pronto. That's French, right? Alpaca-outta-nowhere commit Benjamin St-Juste is Canadian, and if we've learned anything from South Park it's that Canada's a little bit different than the United States. One of the differences is that Canadian high school is apparently as long as you want it to be.
People were talking about St-Juste as 2016 or 2017 commit yesterday; today Tim Sullivan notes that there's a chance he could come in this fall($), as he's around 18—the usual age you enter college. I think there will be room, and the corner depth is going to be iffy after this year so you may as well.
Unnecessary dumping on Java aside. Summer Swarm commit Rashad Weaver sounds like an exceptional student:
An accomplished student throughout his high school career at Cooper City High School outside Fort Lauderdale, Florida, most of Weaver's courses are of the advanced-placement or honors variety. Meaning his grade-point average can soar above the customary 4.0, if he's able to push it that high.
During his sophomore year, he had it up to a 4.6. But as a junior, a simple misdirection had him aggravated.
Weaver enrolled in an AP computer science class as a junior. He knew it'd be a challenge, but figured he'd be able to hang. And then things got started.
"It turned out to be a class that was basically for kids who did Java coding at home for fun," Weaver chuckles. "So, yeah, it was tough."
Mr. Weaver, this is my advice to you: if you ever see "LISP" on a course description, run like hell. This is my advice to all people. Emeril! Run like hell if you ever see this:
Now there will be a computer science hipster in the comments talking about how LISP is really elegant because of closures. I apologize in advance.
Anyway, you probably don't come here so I can dump on obscure programming languages. A little more on Weaver:
he appeared at Michigan's satellite camp stop in south Florida with some hope and not much else. At best, Weaver figured he could catch the attention of a Big Ten school. At worst, he knew he'd leave the event a better football player.
It was a win-win, he figured.
And, as is often the case in the classroom, he was right.
"The main reason I went to the camp was because I saw Michigan coaches would be there. I saw it as an opportunity, figured I'd do my best to put my best foot forward and do everything I could to get noticed," Weaver says. "I figured at least it'd be something where I could get better. I was going to go out there and do my best. If I showed well, then they'd notice me. If not, then maybe it wasn't meant to be.
"But I went knowing I'd get better one way or another. And it all worked out."
At 6'5", 245, Weaver is one of the infinite DE/TE prospects Michigan will bring in as long as Harbaugh's around. We probably won't know where he sticks until he's a junior.
Next year will not be the year. Northwestern's never been to the NCAA tournament. This is their nonconference schedule:
A tourney, road games against VT and DePaul, and then garbage.
They do get two of UNC/KState/Mizzou in their tourney. If that even helps much:
Last year's RPI of Northwestern's 2015-16 OOC slate: Two of 11, 100 & 218. Also: 196, 197, 228, 243, 265, 270, 292, 299, 326, 333, 345,
— Patrick Stevens (@D1scourse) June 24, 2015
Brutal. And this is a team that returns everyone except oft-injured senior JerShon Cobb and little-used Dave Sobolewski; they've got a senior version of Alex Olah and Tre Demps. This is the kind of Northwestern team that could possibly maybe put themselves on the bubble. But if they are, they're going to be crushed by their own schedule.
Etc.: The Puff Daddy thing is the weirdest. Zach Werenski profiled for the draft. A4 camp report. O'Bannon "one of the most significant antitrust cases of this era," says judge. Carr speaks at a Big Brothers, Big Sisters event.Take a picture: this UV has no mention of a weird thing Harbaugh did.
Recruits In Retrospect: 2010 Offense
Previously: 2008 Offense, 2008 Defense, 2009 Defense, 2009 Quarterbacks, 2009 Offense
It's apparently that arbitrary down time in the offseason when I take a look back at Brian's recruiting profiles for the class that just finished their time at Michigan. In this case, that class is the infamous 2010 group, the last full class brought in by Rich Rodriguez during his time at Michigan.
So, uh, you've been forewarned.
I'll start with the nine offensive players in the class, five of whom were wide receivers. If that sounds like a strange and dangerous way to contruct a roster, you may be a longtime reader of this here blog. Or maybe you just watched the offensive line the last few years. Either/or, really.
We're Really Sorry About The Coaching Thing
As a Pioneer grad, I have no idea how Pioneer won this game.
By the time Brian wrote up Devin Gardner's profile, he'd already enrolled at Michigan and participated in the spring game. The comparison that came up the most in his profile—and, really, the most reasonable one to make at the time—is a pretty good indication of the level of expectation for Gardner's college career:
Why Vince Young? The combination of size, speed, a wonky throwing motion, and the multiple comparisons from gurus tips the balance over to Young, who redshirted despite being the top prospect in the country and didn't come into his own as a passer until he played Michigan in the Rose Bowl—awesome timing!
Guru Reliability: High. Ton of exposure to him. Elite 11 camp, UA game, all that stuff.
General Excitement Level: Towering. Vast. Expansive.
Gardner, of course, stayed on track—except for the cameo at wide receiver—by looking like a future star when he took the reins after Denard Robinson's injury in 2012, and while he had some disappointing outings in 2013, those were largely chalked up to the O-line and playcalling. It came off the rails last year for a host of reasons covered so thoroughly they're not worth bringing up again. Needless to say, reading through his profile leaves one with serious what-could've-been feels.
[Hit THE JUMP for Dramatic Cupcake Hopkins and, well, mostly disappointment.]
Going Pro In Sports: The UDFAs
Previously: Devin Funchess, Jake Ryan
Only three former Wolverines were selected in the NFL Draft—Devin Funchess, Frank Clark, and Jake Ryan—but a handful of others will get their shot as undrafted free agents. Here's a quick look at where each UDFA ended up and their chances of sticking on an NFL roster.
Brennen Beyer, DE/OLB, Baltimore Ravens
Beyer was consistently solid the last few years, playing out a career reminiscent of Craig Roh; while never outrageously productive—he topped out at 5.5 sacks in a single season—he played disciplined defense on the edge. Beyer is almost certainly an outside linebacker in the Ravens 3-4 defense, which will be a transition after playing with his hand in the dirt for the most part at Michigan—he did start five games at linebacker in 2013. Like most UDFAs, Beyer has an uphill climb to make a roster; for comparison's sake, Roh spent one season on Carolina's practice squad, then played for the Omaha Mammoths of the FXFL in 2014.
Devin Gardner, WR, New England Patriots
Gardner is making the transition from quarterback to wide receiver, and he landed on the right team to do just that; the Patriots turned Julian Edelman, a 2009 seventh-rounder, from an all-MAC dual-threat quarterback at Kent State into one of the more reliable receivers in the league.
Of course, Gardner did get some experience playing the position in college, playing receiver in 2012 until Denard Robinson's injury forced him back into quarterback duty. Gardner displayed his great athleticism, especially as a red zone threat—he had four touchdowns in eight games as a WR—but his rawness at the position was also evident. The book on Gardner from his pre-draft preparation falls in line with what we saw in 2012:
A college quarterback, Michigan's Devin Gardner is making the transition to wide receiver for the next level, a position he played briefly in his Ann Arbor career. However, he is understandably still very raw as a wideout. During Monday's practice, Gardner rounded off routes, dropped passes and attracted a good amount of attention from the coaches as they tried to coach him up. He did some things well and has the athleticism for his size that should translate well, but it will certainly take some time before he sheds the "quarterback trying to play wide receiver" label.
How quickly Gardner learns the finer aspects of playing receiver will determine if he's worthy of a spot on the 53-man roster or gets the opportunity to refine his game on the practice squad. Even if it doesn't work out with New England, he should get a shot somewhere; there's no question he's got a lot of potential, and I think his hands NFL-quality—the UFR catch chart reveals that he caught all but one easy throw that season, and was targeted on a lot of uncatchable throws that significantly drag down his yards per target.
Delonte Hollowell, DB, Detroit Lions
MLive's Kyle Meinke reports Hollowell will be at Detroit's rookie minicamp this weekend, though it isn't clear whether he's been signed as an undrafted free agent or is simply getting a tryout. (I'd guess it's the latter.) Hollowell saw the occasional snap as a slot corner but mostly played special teams at Michigan. Unless he turns into a special teams demon, he's facing a major uphill battle to make a roster, especially given his relatively small stature.
Matt Wile, P, Carolina Panthers
Wile, who saw significant action as both a placekicker and punter at Michigan, will get his shot as a punter in Carolina. The incumbent Panthers punter, Brad Nortman, took a step back in 2014 after a stellar 2013 season, so there may be an opening for Wile to land the job, but to do so he'll have to beat out an established vetaran—one Carolina used a sixth-round pick on in 2012.
Unverified Voracity Spends 30 Seconds Grunting
Things pass. Passing NCAA legislation is like hiring assistant coaches: things are done, and then they're done again, and then they're done, and finally they're officially done. These may or may not be officially officially done because NCAA, but it sounds like it is done-done:
- full cost of attendance scholarships,
- mandatory four-year guaranteed scholarships,
- allowing athletes to borrow against future earnings for one purpose: loss of value insurance
- and new concussion management protocols.
One ACC team voted against the first proposal—I'd love to figure out who that is and if it's Clemson worrying that their bagmen will have to shell out more to make a difference. The SEC (surprise!) and Big 12 voted against the second, with the former using athletes in attendance as cover. This doesn't even make sense:
The SEC's athlete representatives took issue with a clause that would prevent schools from taking away scholarships, or in the case of sports with partial scholarships, reducing the amount of aid, from athletes for athletic underperformance.
"The student-athletes said, 'Don't do that,'" Jacobs said. "They said, 'Give them four years if you want, but … you can pull it away if the players aren't performing.'"
"Give them four years, as long as you can revoke it for any reason." That athlete and his nonsense is headed for Congress. No doubt.
As a result, the second proposal barely squeezed by.
I still have my doubts about how effective the mandatory four year scholarships are going to be. If a guy gets kicked off the team he gets to stay on scholarship, but does the team get to replace him? How difficult is it going to be for coaches to boot guys for unspecified violations of team rules? (Not difficult.) I still think the real solution here is to go from an overall cap to a yearly one. That moves the system from one in which retention comes with an opportunity cost to one in which it doesn't.
The third bullet point sounds seismic until you get to the colon, whereupon it is revealed as a logical change to give athletes some security even if they don't have up-front capital. The fourth may as well be termed the Brady Hoke Derp rule.
Hockey aside. I've mentioned it before: it'll be interesting to see what happens with college hockey after these reforms take hold. Smaller schools have the option to follow the Power 5, but it's doubtful they can do so for just their glamor sport since Title IX looms over all these discussions… unless they're one of the D-II or D-III teams grandfathered in.
Does Miami (NTM) have the dough to keep pace with the Big Ten? Probably not. Would Denver? Maybe—Denver only has one D-I sport. Would the NCHC create an unbalanced playing field within their own conference to help the resource-rich teams compete? I have no idea.
One thing that is definitely good here is that the value of a scholarship went up significantly. That'll help schools compete against the OHL.
You may have screwed up. The San Francisco 49ers fired one of the winningest coaches in NFL history to hire a career position coach who'd never so much as coordinated a defense. This seems unwise, especially when the guy doing the deciding here is Pete Campbell with puffy cheeks.
Maybe he's got great interpersonal skills?
Maybe he's going to surround himself with great coaches?
Kiffin front-runner to be 49ers' OC
Maybe he's going to keep the excellent defensive staff intact?
Source: 49ers have fired Fangio, Donatell and Leavitt
At least you didn't have to pay a buyout to fire your previous coach. So you've got that going for you.
Otherwise, the parallels between this and Brady Hoke's coaching career are eerie.
Hello Texas. Random article from Cleveland on Harbaugh recruiting Andrew Luck notes Harbaugh's excellent success in that talent-rich state:
Luck was one of three Texas players in Stanford's 2008 recruiting class. Harbaugh signed four each in 2009 and 2010 before leaving for the NFL. He moved around the state, getting players from Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.
And Brady Hoke… uh… not doing that.
The Wolverines have actually offered a surprising number of Texas players in the last four years according to 247Sports:
• 15 offers in 2015
• 9 offers in 2014
• 13 offers in 2013
• 11 offers in 2012
None of those players signed with Michigan, but that could start changing with Harbaugh.
I'm not sure how many of those offers were seriously pursued and how many were fired off hoping to induce a visit, but going 0-fer in Texas is some kind of problem. Which Michigan coach was assigned to one of the richest talent-producing states in the country?
I don't know. No, seriously, I don't know.
RALPH. Jim Harbaugh had a personal Ohio State back in the day:
A nine-year-old playing tackle football for the first time, Harbaugh stood at No. 7 in the tackling line, and immediately looked at the group of runners across from him to see who his No. 7 counterpart was.
He counted back, and saw the player he'd be forced to tackle.
"Ralph," Harbaugh recalled Friday afternoon during his speech to the Michigan High School Football Coaches Convention in Lansing. "So I said a prayer. I said 'dear lord, I know I'm only nine-years-old and I haven't asked you for a lot up until now. But please, dear lord, when I'm done with this, please do not let Ralph be No. 7.'
"Ralph was still there."
Landing spots. Roy Manning snags the OLB job at Washington State, making him the third former Hoke coach to find a Power 5 job. (Greg Mattison, who was retained, and Doug Nussmeier are the others.) Darrell Funk latched on at Akron, Dan Ferrigno at San Jose State, and nobody else is employed as of now. Al Borges was rumored to be getting the SJSU offensive coordinator job, but that was 1) contingent on Jimmie Dougherty getting a job at Michigan, which didn't happen and 2) reported only by Football Scoop.
I am reading lots about the coaching profession's opinion of Hoke's staff into this.
Redshirt. Not that it's a surprise, but don't expect to see DJ Wilson the rest of the year:
"We'd have to have a couple of major injuries," Beilein explained. "The only way that I'd play him right now is if I could look him in the eye and say, 'Listen, I think you'll play 15-20 minutes per game. That's what's fair to him right now."
Next year's "recruiting class" currently consists of Wilson and Williams transfer Duncan Robinson.
Gardner at WR. He's been impressive:
Michigan WR Devin Gardner: Gardner (6-4, 216) famously is making the switch from quarterback to wide receiver. He played wide receiver for half the 2012 season and didn't start focusing on the position again until early December, right after the Wolverines' season ended. "He got better and better each day," Jeremiah said. Gardner has good, not great, speed but can be elusive and has good hands, especially for a guy who has been a receiver for only about seven weeks. His size also is a big plus. He should become more acclimated to the position, and his pre-draft workouts could be quite interesting.
I didn't think much of his ability to find balls downfield when he was playing WR, but that's something time can fix. Also, for a 6'4" dude his speed is likely a plus.
Hooray. Michigan passes a law that may be directly aimed at Michigan's notoriously horrible FOIA department:
…will not be allowed to charge more than 10 cents per page for copies of public records; they can face increased fines for delaying responses, and people seeking the records now can sue if they consider the fees to be exorbitant. …
Another change in the law requires governments to provide the records electronically instead of on paper if the requester seeks them in that format.
Damages have gone up significantly as well. This doesn't do anything about Michigan's retention policy being "we don't have one," unfortunately, but it's a step in the right direction.
Etc.: LeVert's injury looked harmless. Hockey podcasting with Mike Spath. Zach Hyman is tearing it up. On something meaning something. We're relevant enough to be an offseason theme. Playcalling duties are yet to be determined between Drevno and Harbaugh.
