Career pathways fair set as Sustainability Summit kicks off Wednesday
Growing Power's Will Allen and actor Ed Begley Jr. are expected to draw crowds at the 12th annual Sustainability Summit that starts Wednesday at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee.
Talks by Allen and Begley — the actor perhaps best known for St. Elsewhere — have been popular speakers at this conference in recent years.
A relatively new part of the summit, the "green pathways career fair," takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. Wednesday. The summit typically attracts a mix of students, educators and those working in renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable business. The career pathways fair aims to engage high school, technical college and college students to consider future careers in sustainable occupations. »Read Full Blog Post
Johnson Controls touts 'Midwest play' to build batteries of future
Illinois may be the host of the new $120 million energy research hub announced Friday, but the inclusion of Wisconsin's largest company and the University of Michigan makes it "a Midwest play," said MaryAnn Wright, vice president at Johnson Controls Inc.
The Joint Center for Energy Storage Research will receive $120 million in funding over five years for Argonne National Laboratory, other energy labs, universities and Johnson Controls.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu on Friday announced the award during an appearance near Chicago at the Argonne headquarters in Lemont, Ill. The goal: to bring together energy storage research that's taking place in different spots and help to bring the best technologies to market quickly. »Read Full Blog Post(28)
Inspired by nature, solar researchers turn to sunflowers
When Convergence Energy decided to plant sunflowers between rows of tracking solar panels at its solar project in Delavan last year, Journal Sentinel photographer Michael Sears' photo was indeed worth the 1,000 or so words that I wrote.
At the time the picture was taken, an engineering and nanotech researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was already working to study ways to blend the side-by-side panels and flowers two together. »Read Full Blog Post
Battery plant may move work, jobs to Mexico
C&D Technologies Inc. is evaluating whether to move some or all of its Milwaukee production to Mexico, the company said Wednesday.
The company, which operates in a former Johnson Controls battery factory in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, said it has been faced with price pressure and a tough economy, and that production costs in Milwaukee are high.
"Over the last five years, we invested over $20 million to modernize our Milwaukee facility, streamline production and improve efficiencies," Jeff Graves, C&D president, said in a statement released Wednesday. "Although these efforts have yielded some savings, unfortunately, our cost structure in Milwaukee remains among the highest in the industry. Couple that with the continued, general economic uncertainty and ongoing pricing pressure from competitors and customers, and we are faced today with a need to evaluate the viability of continuing production in Milwaukee." »Read Full Blog Post(201)

Obama unveils plan to boost 'energy security'
Saying the nation needs to address rising energy prices as well as the loss of clean-energy technology to other countries, President Barack Obama on Wednesday outlined an energy plan to reduce reliance on imported oil.
The energy security agenda, outlined in a speech at Georgetown University, calls for expanded domestic production of oil and natural gas, matched with aggressive fuel efficiency standards for heavy trucks and other vehicles and deployment of next-generation biofuels
The goal: to reduce the amount of oil the United States imports by one-third in a little more than 10 years. »Read Full Blog Post(57)
Summit hears calls for action on climate
Bill McKibben, the author of End of Nature and the founder of the group 350.org, brought a message of the urgency to Milwaukee Thursday on the need to act to stop the worst effects of global warming.
The year 2010 was the warmest year on record, "and that heat was really remarkable," McKibben told a crowd of several hundred at the Green Energy Summit. "Nineteen nations set new all-time temperature records," with Pakistan hitting 129 degrees for the first time last summer.
A changing climate can already be seen to have a variety of impacts – from drought in Russia that led the third-largest producer of wheat to stop exporting wheat, contributing to higher food prices. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Federal plan eyes $34 million for energy storage research hub
An energy storage and batteries "energy innovation hub" would receive $34 million in startup funding, under the a $29.5 billion budget for the Department of Energy in fiscal 2012, proposed Monday.
The energy storage hub was one of three such hubs that would be created under the new budget plan, which will be the subject of hearings starting Tuesday in Congress.
The research hubs would aim to tackle key energy challenges. In his State of the Union address, President Barack told scientists and engineers that if "they assemble teams of the best minds in their fields, to focus on the hardest problems in clean energy, we'll fund the Apollo projects of our time." »Read Full Blog Post(6)
Quarterly loss narrows at ZBB Energy
ZBB Energy Corp. said its loss narrowed in its fiscal second quarter as the company cut costs while booking orders for energy storage and power management systems.
The company lost $1.8 million or 9 cents a share, compared with $3.4 million or 27 cents a share in the prior year. The company's expenses said warranty and severance costs fell. In addition, the prior year quarter included severance costs, fund-raising expenses, and impairment charges.
Sales fell from the prior quarter as the company experienced a delay in Underwriters Laboratories certification for inverters for its energy storage systems, as well as lower engineering and development revenues linked to the completion of an energy storage research contract in Australia. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
ZBB Energy acquires power electronics firm
ZBB Energy Corp. announced Monday it has acquired Tier Electronics of Menomonee Falls, in a bid to increase its sales and add a more diversified power electronics business to its core energy storage and battery business.
Tier, which has worked with ZBB on product development, supplies power electronics for renewable energy system as well as hybrid electric drive trains for vehicles.
The move more than doubles ZBB's expected annual sales as well as its backlog. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Obama visit to put spotlight on energy storage, clean-tech
President Obama's visit to ZBB Energy Corp. Monday will provide him a backdrop to discuss clean-energy priorities including a smarter power grid and expanded renewable energy.
The Menomonee Falls energy storage developer represents a good fit for Obama, company Chief Executive Officer Eric Apfelbach said, because it's a clean-technology company focused on energy storage technologies.
The company was awarded a $14.7 million tax credit under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act earlier this year, and its energy storage systems are designed to work with a smarter power grid and enable expanded use of renewable energy -- key energy priorities of the Obama administration, Apfelbach said in an interview Thursday. »Read Full Blog Post(11)
Chu: Astronautics will research 'novel approaches to air conditioning'
Astronautics Corp. of America will study magnetic refrigeration as a technology for cooling buildings, under a $2.9 million energy research grant funded through the federal stimulus package.
The privately held firm, based in Milwaukee at 4115 N. Teutonia Ave., will be researching an alternative form of refrigeration that doesn't rely on a liquid-based refrigerant that contributes to climate change.
"The project proposes to use a solid state cooling technology with GWP (global warming potential) of zero based on magnetic refrigeration," a description of the project provided by the Energy Department says. "The team will construct and test a magnetic refrigeration cooling system that will achieve significant energy efficiency and reduce system operating costs compared to conventional vapor compression systems." »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Chu, Barrett to announce energy research project
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett have scheduled a news conference by phone Monday afternoon to announce "a groundbreaking energy research project in Milwaukee aimed at accelerating innovation in green technology while increasing America's competitiveness."
It's not clear whether this is linked to a research collaboration launched last year by the city's three engineering schools or whether it's linked to energy storage research taking place at local firms.
I'll have more details later on Plugged In and JSOnline, and in Tuesday's Journal Sentinel. (1)

Interesting news, as the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), the American trade group that is comprised of most of the motorcycle manufacturers, has acquired the motorcycle group of Marketplace Events LLC. What this really means is that the MIC has bought the AIMExpo, America's largest trade, consumer, and media event.
We say this news is interesting, because you don't usually see trade groups like the MIC in the mergers and acquisition realm, though the acquisition makes sense from a promotional point-of-view.
For those who don't know, the MIC serves the interests of the motorcycle industry as a whole in the United States, and thus there is a lot to be gained by the MIC also controlling arguably the most important expo event for the American motorcycle industry.
This likely means that we will see more US models debuting at the AIMExpo, giving the show a status similar to the EICMA show in Italy and the INTERMOT show in Germany.

Local History: Tunican comes face to face with 'Machine Gun Kelly'
Every week hundreds of people visit the Tunica Museum. Through the years we have recorded visitors from every state in the union and many foreign countries. Even before the bright lights of the casinos drew people here, there were notable people who for one reason or another passed through Tunica County.
The first "tourist" to spend time here was undoubtedly Hernando DeSoto. Certainly there was no tourism infrastructure in 1541, but our history books would tell us that DeSoto was impressed enough with this area that he spent considerable time here before he wore out his welcome.

Arrampicare a Cala Gonone by Corrado Conca160 pages, full colour, �16, added Mar/2006
Reviewed by Chris Craggs
Although the whole island is mountainous, with masses of exposed rock all over the place, it is the east coast, and especially the area around Cala Gonone which had already been developed by climbers from the Rome area, who only lived a shortish ferry crossing away. This was, and remains, the best destination, at least for the first time visitor. The whole east coast has long been a popular (and expensive) summer tourist destination; the winters have always been quiet to the point of the area being akin a ghost town. The recent influx of visitors initially came as a bit of a surprise to the locals; they obviously have no idea how grim northern European winters can be. Gladly, they have risen to the challenge and now there are normally enough shops and accommodation spots open to make life pleasant, though I believe the campsite is still closed in the winter.
The first dedicated guide to the area was produced in 1998, revised in 2000 and again in 2001, such has been the pace of development. To cater for the influx on climbers - mainly British and German - we now have a new version which has details of over 600 routes. The main text is in Italian and there are side boxes for the English and German translations. I am not sure about the German but at least the English makes good sense - nonsense English is a common failing with some overseas guides. The book is well laid out, with some excellent maps and overview drawings (in the Phizacklea mould) to help get a feel for the area, plus a full sell of photo-topos. Also, it is good to see the longer routes on Monte Oddeu listed, with brief notes of what gear is required. The climbs here are up to 300 metres long and make a great change for those bored with short, roadside sport routes.
The book is well spattered with adverts offering accommodation in the area, from campsites, through apartments, all the way up to hotels; always a useful feature. Interestingly, the back cover is an advert for some of the excellent local wines - certainly makes a change from the latest 'hot' gear.
All in all, I can recommend this guide to the first time or returning visitor to the area, it looks like I might need to get a flight booked sharpish!

It's roughly 3ft high
I have a beautiful white fuschia growing in the wrong place.Is it possible to move it to a better site without doing too much damage to it ? I would appreciate any advice
Hi Jane,
I think your plants are sedum. They love to spread and won't grow tall. I have similar ones and that's what I was told they were.
Hi Rosebud. I have a similar problem and like me,you will have to be patient.
Hi Maggie.I had a similar problem last year. I have been told that it was frost that did the damage. I removed the dead or yellowing leaves and the plants recovered eventually.
Thanks for your replies.I guess I will have to be patient and wait and see.
Can anybody tell me why my rowan trees which were sat last year did not produce berries this year.

Water, glycerin, stearic acid, dimethicone, ceteth-10, laureth-4, paraffin, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, allantoin, ammonium hydroxide, octyldodecyl stearate, diazolidinyl urea, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, acrylates/acrylamide copolymer, boric acid, mineral oil, polysorbate 85
Store at room temperature.
I have been plagued with painfully rough and cracked hands for several years. Over the counter and prescription creams did little or nothing to alleviate the problem. I took a chance on ordering O'Keeffe's Working Hands and I'm thrilled with the results. My hands are now soft and I haven't had cracked fingers since I began using it several times a day. You may be sure I'll be placing another order.
Been trying cream after cream to cure my dry hands and cracked fingers until I found this. The hunt is now over. This stuff works great and pretty darn fast too... Ordered 4 more and 1 for your feet. We're going to try the one for feet but expect the same results...

what did he witness ?
He tends to hide from the board when the stock goes up. He posts constantly on down days.
So...he is in witness protection program now. It is a joke, but is fairly close to the truth. I hope you bought some budice. Buying at the previous level was too easy to identify. Any investor that did not realize the buying opportunity is somebody that I do not want to listen to because they obviously have no knowledge of the markets. That is a fact. 8.70 to over a dollar higher in little time....maybe a week right? We have hit the bottom and we will rise. The momo is with CY....so now is the time to jump in.

Hi guys,
Found a small bug - on WP Admin > Products > Edit Product page. When entering a Sale Price the product updates correctly, however when removing it (or resetting it back to zero) an error is thrown after 'Update' is clicked:
Warning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be double, string given in /wp-content/plugins/foxyshop/customposttype.php on line 1009

I've tried putting 0, 0.0 and leaving the field blank but nothing works. (actually I think the field is wiped if a value equal to 0 is left in it)
The product does still update with the sale price removed despite the error.

Low-Power Analog Processing for Sensing Applications: Low-Frequency Harmonic Signal Classification
AbstractA low-power analog sensor front-end is described that reduces the energy required to extract environmental sensing spectral features without using Fast Fouri´er Transform (FFT) or wavelet transforms. An Analog Harmonic Transform (AHT) allows selection of only the features needed by the back-end, in contrast to the FFT, where all coefficients must be calculated simultaneously. We also show that the FFT coefficients can be easily calculated from the AHT results by a simple back-substitution. The scheme is tailored for low-power, parallel analog implementation in an integrated circuit (IC). Two different applications are tested with an ideal front-end model and compared to existing studies with the same data sets. Results from the military vehicle classification and identification of machine-bearing fault applications shows that the front-end suits a wide range of harmonic signal sources. Analog-related errors are modeled to evaluate the feasibility of and to set design parameters for an IC implementation to maintain good system-level performance. Design of a preliminary transistor-level integrator circuit in a 0:µm complementary metal-oxide-silicon (CMOS) integrated circuit process showed the ability to use online self-calibration to reduce fabrication errors to a sufficiently low level. Estimated power dissipation is about three orders of magnitude less than similar vehicle classification systems that use commercially available FFT spectral extraction.

I'm new to CSS and started to change a few numbers in twenty ten but created a new problem.
1) My sidebar is showing at the bottom of my second page. (this was the original demo page)
Can someone help me figure out what number to change to get it to come back up to the side? A view of the original code may make it obvious which number I changed to create this problem, but I don't know where to get the original code.
The original issue I had before I started messing with things is that on all pages:
2) the "like my facebook page" widget is cutting off the last letter in the sidebar.
I would like to widen the sidebar on all pages so the whole title shows up.
If anyone can help me with these two column sizings, I would be incredibly grateful!

Game Day Weather
Expect a beautiful September Saturday as high pressure moves through the Ohio Valley/Southern Michigan throughout the day. Clear skies overnight lead to a lot of warm sunshine for the start of the weekend, and we'll keep a light northerly breeze.
If you're up-an-at-em early you'll need some long-sleeves... 48 degrees for 8am, with mostly clear skies and a light north wind. We'll hit the 50s quickly after that, hitting 60 degrees for 10am. By the time you're putting the hot dogs on the grill for lunch, we're up near 70, seeing lots of sun, and feeling a wind out of the north at 5-7mph (you'll feel the wind on your skin, might have a few leaves rustle).
73 degrees for our kickoff with just a few clouds in the sky. Winds are out of the NNW at 5mph.
We'll keep a few fair weather clouds that have built in throughout the afternoon hours-but still keeping a lot of that sun! We'll hit our high for the day here at 75 degrees, winds out of the NNW at 5-9mph (may see a few twigs blow around with those leaves).
Mostly sunny, a light northerly wind, and temperatures lingering around 70 as you head out of the Big House. We'll see the sun turn to stars in keeping clear skies all evening, and the winds will gradually shift to be coming out of the east (still light) by closing time. Still in the mid 50s by 11pm, but dropping into the upper 40s if you're walking home late after celebrating the win! Go Blue!

Think Like an Athletic Director: Notre Dame's B1G Rivalries
Some Big Ten supporters think the conference should stop scheduling Notre Dame, to "punish" the Irish for joining the ACC. They're making a fundamental error: thinking like a fan, rather than thinking like an athletic director.
Here are some basic facts:
Michigan and Notre Dame have played annually since 1978, aside from a couple of two-year hiatuses planned long in advance (1983-84, 1995-96, and another coming in 2018-19). Michigan has had seven athletic directors during that time, starting with Don Canham, who reinstated the series after a 35-year absence. You'd think that if playing Notre Dame were such a terrible idea, one of those ADs would have stopped it by now.
Even Bo Schembechler, who famously said "To hell with Notre Dame," didn't cancel the series during the three years that he was Athletic Director. Given his control over the program, it is hard to believe that Bo couldn't have put an end to it, if he'd really wanted to.
So, why does Michigan play Notre Dame?
The series has numerous benefits. It's a high-profile game that is always nationally televised. Travel costs are low. The game is competitive but winnable. Even in years that the Irish are terrible, the media always act like beating them is a Big Deal. The last three games, all won by Michigan, have created iconic moments that very few opponents could supply: Tate Forcier's coming-out party in 2009, Denard Robinson's in 2010, and Under-the-Lights last year. Since the series resumed, most of the games have been very entertaining, with 19 out of 28 contests decided by 8 points or less.
You might think that Michigan could easily replace Notre Dame with comparable opponents. You'd be wrong. A lot of those opponents don't want to come to Ann Arbor. (Dave Brandon recently tried to schedule Oklahoma, and was refused.) And outside of the Big Ten, most of the premier programs play in hot-weather climates, where a September game would put Michigan at a significant disadvantage. If you thought it was bad playing Alabama indoors, imagine what it would be like in Tuscaloosa.
In short: if Notre Dame fell off of the schedule, Michigan would be hard pressed to replace them annually with acceptable games against high-profile home & home opponents. Of course, somebody would come to play Michigan, but if you think the replacement game would regularly be as good as Notre Dame (in terms of prestige, TV viewership, excitement, or any way you measure it), you're kidding yourself.
The case for playing Notre Dame is even more compelling for Michigan State and Purdue. The Boilermakers have played Notre Dame every season since 1946. It is more important to them than any rivalry in the Big Ten, as it's the only game they play that is guaranteed to be televised nationally. No other Purdue game attracts so much interest. And there are probably no major football programs that would consider a trip to West Lafayette worthwhile. Cinncinati in 2016 is the most prestigious non-Big Ten, non-ND home game the Boilermakers currently have scheduled, supplementing a diet of directional schools, MAC programs, and the like.
The situation is quite similar for Michigan State. Remember their memorable overtime win vs. Notre Dame, which was the featured night game on ABC two years ago? They're doing it again tomorrow. Who else could the Spartans play, that would generate that kind of coverage? The Spartans have been elevating their schedule lately: they have future home & home series with Miami (YTM), Alabama, Oregon, and Boise State. But of that list, only Alabama matches Notre Dame in prestige.
I have no interest in helping Purdue and MSU recruit, but the fact is: to kids who might be considering playing football at those schools, an annual game with Notre Dame is a perk.
So I can only laugh when people suggest that the Big Ten ought to refuse to schedule Notre Dame, to "punish" the Irish for not joining the conference. It's a big like "punishing" Kate Upton for refusing to date you. Kate will do just fine, and so will Notre Dame. Oklahoma, Texas, Northwestern, and Arizona State, are among the teams that have scheduled the Irish in future years, in addition to their usual rivals (USC, Stanford, Brigham Young, Navy) and various ACC teams.
I'm not aware of any athletic director who resents the Irish for choosing to be independent. Athletic directors realize that games with Notre Dame are good business. Whether or not the Irish deserve their popularity, the fact is they are popular, because two large ethnic groups — Irish and Catholics — consider Notre Dame their de facto home team. This is why the major conference commissioners treat the Notre Dame athletic director like an equal; why they have their own network TV deal; and why they have their own entrée into the BCS, under conditions granted to no other school.
So to the extent that Big Ten schools for decades have found it useful to schedule Notre Dame, what exactly has changed? The answer is: nothing. Notre Dame always made clear that they intended to remain independent in football. All they've done is to leave the rotting Big East, as numerous other schools have done when the opportunity arose.
The match-up makes sense for both parties. As the weakest of the "Big Five" football conferences, the ACC wanted to make itself more attractive to television and the bowls. Notre Dame's strong academics are also an attraction, in the only available conference that is academically as strong as the Big Ten. Notre Dame gets access to the ACC's bowl tie-ins and a far better home for basketball and its olympic sports. It will play 5 ACC teams in football every year, but many of those teams have regularly played the Irish anyway.
Culturally, the ACC is a better fit for Notre Dame than any conference, including the Big Ten. The ACC already has five other private schools (if you count Syracuse, joining next year), including the only other Catholic school that plays FBS football (Boston College). The ACC footprint includes large Catholic and Irish populations, and Notre Dame alumni historically have tended to migrate east. Outside of the midwest, the East is Notre Dame's most fertile territory for recruiting. That's a big reason why the Irish chose the ACC over the Big 12, which was the only other major conference willing to admit the Irish on similar terms.
Numerous news stories have mentioned that the Irish will probably be re-evaluating their future schedules, now that they're committed to play five ACC teams per season, starting in 2014. If you add Navy, USC, Stanford, Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue every year, that would leave the Irish with just one "flex" game, or none in the years Brigham Young is on the schedule.
So which rivals might Notre Dame play less often? The Irish consider USC and Stanford their most valuable rivalry games, because it ensures they play in Califorina every year, an important selling point for West Coast recruits. The Navy game has been contested every season since 1914, making it the oldest uninterrupted intersectional rivalry in college football. It's also practically an automatic win for Notre Dame. There's no way they're giving that up.
The three Big Ten rivalries have different costs and benefits for Notre Dame. They've played Purdue every year since 1946, and it's another game they usually win. However, very few people other than Notre Dame fans and Indiana residents care about the game, so it doesn't really help them with recruiting. Of all Notre Dame's rivals, Purdue really needs the game. Canceling it or playing it less often would really screw Purdue.
Michigan is the best known of Notre Dame's Big Ten rivalries, and the one that's the best media draw, but it's also the toughest for them. Michigan is one of the few schools (and the only one the Irish play regularly) that has a winning record vs. Notre Dame.
The Michigan State rivalry goes back to 1897, and since 1948 the two schools have missed each other just four times (1953, 1958, 1995-6). Historically, Notre Dame dominated the series (other than the 1950-63 period, when MSU was good), but since 1997 the Spartans have given Notre Dame fits, winning 10 out of 15. If Notre Dame decides that it doesn't need to play two state-of-Michigan schools, you'd think Michigan State would be seen as the dispensable game.
There is very little doubt in my mind that if the Irish want to keep playing, the Big Ten will continue to welcome them with open arms. In an interview with CBS Sports, Purdue's athletic director almost seemed to be pleading: "You have two schools in the state of Indiana with shared values -- their close proximity is a mutual benefit when it comes to travel and potential missed class time by the student-athletes -- so it only makes sense that we will continue to compete against them."
Dave Brandon told the Associated Press that Michigan wants to keep the series going, but that it would be up to the Irish. MSU AD Mark Hollis said that the school has a contract with Notre Dame out to 2031 that calls for four years on, two years off. So that ought to dispel the idea that Big Ten teams have any notion of kicking Notre Dame off their schedules.
Perhaps one scenario is that the Irish will continue to play Purdue every year, while alternating the Michigan and Michigan State series (2 years on, 2 years off). That's just one way it could play out. Because of the continuous tradition, the in-state proximity, and the fact that the Irish usually win, it's harder to imagine them playing Purdue less often.
For Michigan fans, the question isn't whether we want to play Notre Dame, but whether Notre Dame wants to play us. If the Irish are available, David Brandon will schedule them, just as the last six athletic directors that preceded him have done, over and over again.
Favorite Baby Seal Clubbings
Certainly it's always much more fun watching Michigan eke out a tight, fourth-quarter victory over a difficult conference foe, or take some highly ranked opponent behind the proverbial woodshed ala '97 Penn State or '06 ND (or '93 Ohio!!). But sometimes it's nice to relax and just enjoy watching a tomato can get kicked in, beaten, and squashed--especially after a tough couple of games to start the season. So, I've been thinking back to some of Michigan's more enjoyable baby seal clubbings of the past: games in which the opposing team never had a chance going in, and things played out that way on the field. Here are some of my personal favorites from the past 20 years, with links to Wolverine Historian's videos:
1) Michigan 52, Minnesota 17 (1995): Scott Dreisbach injured himself earlier in the week by getting his fingers caught in a lineman's jersey during a practice rep, so Brian Griese made his first start at Michigan. I couldn't find anything on the web with stats or a game recap or anything, but I remember Griese connecting on several long passes (to whom I don't recall, but our receivers at the time included Toomer, Hayes, a young Tai Streets, and tight ends Jay Riemersma and Jerame Tuman). However, I did find WH's video.
2) Michigan 65, Bowling Green 21 (2010): Say what you want about RichRod, but you have to admit that watching his offense tear apart weaker competition was football crack. UM racked up 721 total yards in that game; Denard had 129 yards on just 5 carries, and just about everyone on the roster got into the game (unfortunately, that included Devin Gardner, whose UM career may wind up being a year shorter because of it). If you want to relive the magic, here's Wolverine Historian's video.
3) Michigan 58, Indiana 0 (2000): One of the most flawless performances I've ever personally seen by a Michigan team; UM scored 45 points in the first half, punted only once all game (and for 67 yards!), and shut-out Antwaan Randle El (who had torched us for massive yardage the previous two seasons, almost beating Tom Brady in a 34-31 shootout in 1999). As always, Wolverine Historian is on it.
4) Michigan 49, Michigan State 3 (2002): If you are thinking, "What? MSU can never qualify as a baby seal!" then you probably don't remember their 2002 team, which was a trainwreck smashing into the mother of all tire fires. But Michigan, angered (and rightly so) by the Spartan Bob/Clockgate heist from the previous year, showed no mercy to the hapless Spartans—beating them so badly that, when it was over, MSU finally put Bobby Williams out of his misery. This demolition was so incredibly epic that WH had to break up his video into two parts. Here's uno, here's dos.
5) Michigan 56, Illinois 14 (2003): Arguably the worst Big Ten team of the '00s, Ron Turner brought his Fighting Illini (who would finish the season 1-11) to the Big House for what would be its most lopsided thumping of the season. There wouldn't have really been anything memorable about this game,except for the amazing Steve Breaston reverse-field 74-yard punt return TD (begins at 9:30 of this punt return compilation by WH, which is much more interesting than the rest of the actual game).
Obviously, this diary wouldn't have been possible (and by "possible," I mean "any good") without Wolverine Historian's videos. So, thanks be to him. And as always, Go Blue!
UMass Mini Program
i could not muster the energy to get UMass' depth chart together here, sorry for that. adjusted the roster with Ryan at 47. depth chart removed countess (sigh) and bumped up Taylor, switched Barnum and Mealer, bumped Gardner up on the WR list. the depth chart does not really reflect game to game injury issues, just season long injuries.
also, the scribd site is down for maintenance right now, so no embed.
2012 Turnover Analysis – Updated Thru Air Force
Preseason Prediction: Michigan will end the year with a +8 Turnover Margin (TOM) or better (2011 was +7). The prediction for TOM for M for this year is based on the prediction that M will be a very good team again this year and is not based on the actual TOM of last year. (Very good teams will have a TOM of +5 or better.)
Synopsis for Turnovers: M ended the game with a TOM of –1. That is 2 games in a row with a negative TOM while last year there were only 4 games with negative TOMs (SDSU, NW, Purdue, Iowa). Michigan has a TOM of –4 for the year (ranked #94). Denard was charged with another interception but it was clearly Vincent Smith's poor play that resulted in the tipped ball and subsequent interception. Even with the charged interception, Denard dramatically reduced his interception ratio from 11% in the first game to just 4% in this game. Air Force defied all odds for a triple option offense and ended the game with no lost fumbles (last year AFA was #107 nationally with 15 lost fumbles).
After 2 games, M has not fumbled once (ranked #1) but also has no interception takeaways (ranked #76).
Synopsis for Expected Point (EP) Analysis: M lost the TO battle but won the game (approximately 17% of all college football games are won by the team that loses the TO battle). Without TOs, M would have won by approximately 6.84 points instead of 6 points.
Since Air Force scored a touchdown on the drive after the TO, why is the EP so small? This is where any analysis that relies on "what if" suppositions (as many analyzes do) may provide a less than satisfying result. It was 3-3 on the M44. If the pass had been incomplete, M would have punted on 4-3 at their own 44. Thus, M did not lose any EP because they would have still given up the ball on the next play. AFA took over on their own 44 instead of at their own 20 (assuming a net punt of 36 yards). Therefore AFA only gained the advantage of 24 yards of field position which results in just 0.84 EP. If the assumption is that Smith would have caught the pass for a first down then M would have lost an additional 2.35 EP for a total of 3.19 lost EP.
(See the Section on Gory Details below for how the adjustment for Expected Points (EP) is calculated.)
National Rankings: There is almost unanimous consensus that games against non-FBS opponents distort the statistics and muck up the analysis of data. Therefore, all rankings include games between two FBS teams ONLY and are from TeamRankings except for forced fumbles which is from CFBStats. The four columns with *** show the best correlation to offense and defense (per Advanced NFL stats).
The Gory Details
Details for Turnovers: Here is overall summary for all games by player (data in yellow was affected by this week's game).
Expected Point (EP) Analysis: Basically, the probability of scoring depends on the line of scrimmage for the offense. Therefore, the impact of a TO also depends on the yard line where the TO is lost and the yard line where the TO is gained. Each turnover may result in an immediate lost opportunity for the team committing the TO and a potential gain in field position by the opponent. Both of these components can vary dramatically based upon the down when the TO occurred, the yards the TO is returned, and whether the TO was a fumble or an interception.
Here are the details for the game.
The analysis is a bit tricky because: (A) the TO may directly result in lost EP for the offense but (B) only modifies the EP for the team gaining the TO because the team gaining the TO would have gotten another possession even without the TO (due to a punt, KO after a TD, KO after a field goal, etc.). The Net EP Gain must take into account the potential EP gain without the TO. The EP gain without the turnover is based on where the field position would have been for the next possession if the TO had not occurred.
The expected point calculations are based on data from Brian Fremeau at BCFToys (he also posts at Football Outsiders). Fremeau's data reflects all offensive possessions played in 2007-2011 FBS vs. FBS games. I "smoothed" the actual data.
Here is a summary of the smoothed expected points.
The Blockhams in "THE AGONY OF... VICTORY?"
(Click the image to view full size)
Today, on September 11, it's appropriate to celebrate some of the many of the things America does right. Fast food. Trucks. Big budget Hollywood epics full of explosions and ridiculous violence. God Bless the USA.
One of the things we're also great at is raising up heroes... and tearing them down. At least since the rise of Elvis, our nation, and particularly the national media, has had a knack for elevating our heroes to impossible standards, and then lambasting them when then they fail to live up to those expectations. But it's not just the media. We, the public, buy into the hype. It's dangerously easy to feel entitled to the type of expectations that arise from public perception. We defend the frantic need to be more entertained than we had been by the previous outing. Think Iron Man 2. Nucky Thompson. The Green Album.
Team 133 did not vote themselves #8 in the country. They did not write the team preview and send it to Athlon Sports. And they most certainly can't be faulted for trying their best yet not performing the way we wanted them too. For not picking up where a somewhat lucky and over-achieving team left off. We're AAAAAWWWLLL guilty of it, myself included-- but maybe that's a positive thing to emerge this week, the idea that whatever we expect from this team this year may very well not be what we receive.
I'm currently working on several strips right now, so on Thursday we'll either see how Tom likes to rant about the team's perceived shortcomings or Desmond will meet a famous singer/songwriter.

The Refuge Community Association -
The next Board Meeting will be held:
September 19th, 2016 at 9:00 A.M.
Location to be announced
The Refuge Community is a gated development comprised of 360 homesites and located about 4 miles north of Lake Havasu City, AZ just off London Bridge Road and immediately west of the Desert Hills village. There are two entrances, North and South, both located on the horeshoe shaped Arnold Palmer Drive. The South entrance is shared with The Refuge Golf and Country Club. The North entrance accesses only the residential community.
The Refuge Community Association is governed by a board of directors (BOD) comprised of five owners. The governing documents include its Articles of Incorporation, "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions" (CC&R's), ByLaws, and Design Guidelines. Additionally, the BOD has enacted a list of Rules
which, along with the governing documents, all owners and renters are required to follow. The philosophy behind all our rules and regulations is to promote the serenity, architectural beauty and peacefulness that our community and its surrounding areas provide. The responsibility for compliance with all rules and regulations lies with the owners although the rules apply equally to all tenants and guests. It is essential that each owner familiarize themself with these rules and regulations. Your cooperation in supporting these rules will contribute to the protection of the rights and privileges of all. Any violation of these governing documents, rules and regulations should be reported immediately to the Association's Manager, our Security Officer or to the President of the Association.
The operation of the association is funded by dues paid by each lot owner. The number of lots for which dues is currently being paid is 338. Currently the dues amount is $372.00 per quarter per lot. Quarterly assessments can be paid by Automatic Withdrawal (ACH)
Click here to view the ACH form and processing instructions.
The POA is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of all common areas and for enforcing maintenance for all privately owned lots. One of the major issues is vacant lot maintenance. This includes gravel installation and upkeep and weed control. Vehicle traffic on vacant lots is prohibited because it pushes the gravel into the soil and breaks the crusted seal which keeps the dirt from blowing. Each lot owner should ensure that their lot is sprayed with pre-emergent chemicals twice per year. If this is done through reputable weed control service providers they will remove any weeds that subsequently appear. The association is willing to contract for weed control services and pass through the costs to lot owners on a pro-rata basis. This procedure will both reduce the cost and ensure that all lots are sprayed on a timely basis. If an owner allows weeds to reach maturity they are also responsible for removing the seed-bearing plants from their lot(s).
If an owner sees any maintenance item on the association's common areas(streets, gates, lights, drainage or landscaping) that needs to be taken care of they should contact the Association Manager or the responsible Board Member.

Atrioventricular septal defect is an opening between all four chambers
of the heart that is present at birth (congenital heart defect). The opening is caused
by a failure of heart tissue to come together during the growth of the
Atrioventricular septal defect results in a large opening in the
center of the heart, with a hole between the 2 lower chambers (ventricular
septal defect) and between the 2 upper chambers (atrial septal defect).
Atrioventricular septal defect requires surgery to correct.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Tony Nice jersey for good price Nice jersey and for half the price of other jerseys. August 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Deuce22 Nice Jersey The jersey was true to size and fit well. Good purchase. February 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Willah1371 Love it I was worried about the size fit but I ordered a medium like I wear with regular Tshirts and it's an amazing fit. I also like the sleeves, they are kind of elastic so the hug your biceps. I did a lot of research since jerseys are so pricey and for not being 135 bucks this jersey by far met my expectations. January 4, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Junior Emblem crooked and jersey dirty When I recieved this jersey, it was clear as day that the Ohio State emblem by the neck was about 45 degrees crooked and there were dirt marks and some sticky substance on the inside. Luckily, a Dicks employee helped me return it and I had to buy another jersey number since she said they were made in bunches and the same result would likely happen. Displeased with the product, pleased with the service. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by BuckeyeMoose Just in time for Hubby's birthday! I ordered a Buckeye jersey online, but was concerned about a timely delivery (um, I really meant to order sooner, really I did). Despite being too cheap to go for a guarantee, I took them at their word that the delivery time would be true...and it WAS! YES! Came a day earlier than expected. FABULOUS! (Of course, the jersey rocked...official Buckeye wear...can't go wrong!!!) October 13, 2014

The Man in the Mask
By Ted Widmer
Published: November 16, 2003
The History of an Image.
By David Greenberg.
Illustrated. 460 pp. New York:
W. W. Norton & Company. $26.95.
RICHARD NIXON died on April 22, 1994, 17 days after Kurt Cobain, and America has been a more boring country ever since. Now that he's officially history, how are scholars to reckon with our 37th president? Was he an ur-conservative, who launched the politics of personal destruction and hatched Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Pat Buchanan, John McLaughlin and Karl Rove? Or was he a closet liberal, promoting Earth Day, socialized health care and world peace? Even before those 18 1/2 minutes of tape were erased, it was uncertain how history would play back the reel of Nixon's life.
Some might argue that we already know all we need to know about R.N., and then some. He wrote three memoirs, after all, and books have been rolling off the treadmill for decades from defenders and critics. But even as we acquire more information, Nixon keeps his distance. Perhaps for that reason, he remains fascinating, though a dwindling number of Americans can remember firsthand what made him so memorable -- the resonant voice; the Shakespearean scowl (Sam Rayburn said ''he had the meanest face I've ever seen''); the tortured body language that made him seem, at first glance, like anything but presidential timber.
David Greenberg's volume arrives at an opportune moment. Greenberg seeks to place Richard Nixon in his full habitat, exploring not just the contours of his life, but the different ways he was perceived -- accurately and inaccurately. Like Merrill Peterson, who studied the images of Jefferson and Lincoln, and Walter Isaacson, who added a thoughtful meditation on Franklin's shifting personae to his new profile, Greenberg is after something more complicated than mere biography. His approach in ''Nixon's Shadow'' verges on anthropology, using a single specimen to draw conclusions about the larger tribe and its cannibalistic rituals.
That makes sense with a president who thought as hard about image as this one did. Long before spin entered the Beltway lexicon, Nixon was constantly tinkering with his brand, inventing one New Nixon after the next. He created the White House Office of Communications to fine-tune the message, and the factory he built is still hard at work, though a few of the names have changed, just as Philip Morris has been rechristened Altria.
All presidential reputations are fluid, registering annual changes like polar ice caps. But Nixon's is more complicated than most, the emotions rawer, the insults brooded over longer. His moving farewell address urged people to give up hating their enemies, though he trafficked in hate from the moment he arrived on the scene in 1946. His presidential library remains a complicated place to sort through the brambles, roiled by family feuds and by the fact that Congress refused to let Nixon keep his government documents. It cannot come as good news to Nixon loyalists that even in the 21st century his face has been the most popular of all the ex-presidents when it came time to choose a scary Halloween mask. Or that strange apparitions have been seen on the library grounds -- a green cloud over Nixon's grave (the ghost of Bebe Rebozo?) -- and tape players malfunction mysteriously.
Greenberg, who teaches history+and political science at Yale University, takes us on a sinuous tour of Nixon's reputation, dwelling at length on the rage he provoked among liberals and the deep loyalty he earned from Middle America, at least until the auto-da-fé of Watergate. We revisit the hardscrabble Quaker childhood and see the emergence of a voice at once typical and atypical -- a young debater proposing the topic ''Resolved: Girls Are No Good,'' a law student working so hard to better himself that he earned the nickname ''Iron Butt,'' an anonymous veteran answering a Republican want ad for a Congressional candidate and discovering, to everyone's surprise, that he was exceedingly gifted at politics.
In a sense, he never stopped running that first race, when he destroyed Jerry Voorhis with cheap innuendo, but also with his innate ability to speak to the fears and hopes (in that order) of rank-and-file Americans. He then ran for the Senate against Helen Gahagan Douglas, and she too fell before his assault, incapable of matching his talents or his dirty tricks (fake endorsements for Douglas appeared from the ''Communist League of Negro Women''). Then it was on to the vice presidency, where he became the Quayle of the 50's, a pit bull, occasionally unleashed by his master for the especially nasty fights.
Unsurprisingly, liberals loathed this brash newcomer, who failed to live up to their standards of civilized discourse, and, worse, defeated their candidates. Greenberg skillfully sketches the cultural tensions brought out by Nixon's rise, and argues that the complacent liberals who mocked Nixon did so at their peril -- for it was they, not he, who were out of touch with the mainstream. The homespun of the Checkers speech may have struck elites as corn pone, but to millions of hard-working Americans, it was as soothing as a McGuffey reader.

Teachers doing too much yelling
Published: Monday, January 29, 2007 at 8:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 29, 2007 at 9:35 a.m.
I have read all the articles pertaining to Terrebonne Parish schools Superintendent Ed Richard and I too believe he should not be dismissed from his position. The School Board should be more worried about firing principals who allow their teachers to yell and scream at their students for no reason. They should be more worried about our middle schools that are being run like military boot camps. People wonder why we have students who are out of hand at school. It is because they do not receive any respect from the adults they are around all day long. If the teachers would stop yelling and start teaching, then the students would learn and start behaving better. Also, we hear about the No Child Left Behind Act and all the new rules imposed on teachers, but why is it students are still being left behind? Could it be that the students who want to learn cant because they are afraid of being yelled at or being pushed by teachers?
I am not saying that all the teachers in Terrebonne Parish are bad. I am only referring to a select few, but something needs to be done. Our students who make As in conduct should not be afraid to go to school. They should not be afraid to talk to their teachers. I always thought that a teacher is supposed to be someone to whom an abused or neglected child could go for help, but I guess that has changed. Now it is some of the teachers who are abusing and neglecting our children and not the parents.

Hi all,
I just started a membership site with four different levels of membership (different time periods).
Everytime someone chooses a level, registers, and has successful payment, they get registered as a user but do not gain the membership status that they chose. I've tried to go into Orders and change order status to success, but that also does not alter their membership.
I have had to go in manually for each user and change their status to whatever level they had chosen and paid for. This has presented a problem because it states "This is a free membership level. Do you wish to proceed?" (Not verbatim).
Somehow there is a disconnect between people selecting and paying for their membership - and actually getting it. Any ideas?

John Drennan: Unrealistic promises but minimal change
This Government runs the risk of being seen as an administration of Quislings, writes John Drennan
Published 16/10/2011 | 05:00
One can only hope that Bill Clinton is not sensitive. Last week as the establishment cooed at his presence, the last American President to be associated with prosperity told the economic forum that "the last big decision" Ireland had to take was on the mortgage debt crisis.
As the former US president prophesied, "the quicker you flush that out, the quicker you're going to generate small business and domestic demand and growth"; in a scenario where 10 per cent of Irish mortgages are in effective default, the logic was unassailable.
Indeed, when it comes to this Government, the economic, and more important still, the social consequences of long-term mortgage distress have been recognised by fiscally literate ministers such as Michael Noonan and Joan Burton.
This meant the excitement displayed by Enda Kenny over the mouse of a Keane report that was delivered last week was all the more surprising.
In politics, the ability to make the complex sound simple, which was such a feature of Clinton's presidency, is normally a signifier of genuine political ability.
Sadly, when it came to the Keane report, the first criteria it met was that if you are in a position where you are finding it hard to explain the benefits of an initiative, well, then, there really aren't any.
Of course, ministers tried, but the scheme increasingly resembled the reverse of one of Mrs Thatcher's better achievements in turning council house tenants into homeowners.
As Joe Higgins noted that the 'plan' to give the banks a role in dealing with distressed mortgages was "like sending a bunch of marauding foxes that have visited a hen-house back to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation", it was hard to be impressed by the proposal to create a new 'secret' class of bankrupt tenants who will be the cottiers of our cosseted banks.
The even worse news for us is that the response to the mortgage crisis is all too symptomatic of the Rainbow's recent performance.
All governments, as we found to our cost under Mr Cowen, acquire their defining traits within the early months and then generally stick to them.
Last week, as we gazed with distaste at this political consumptive and tried desperately to ignore the rattle in the throat and the stentorian breathing, there was something terribly familiar about what had occurred.
Once again, having aimed high, in spite of all the trumpets and the great clash of cymbals, the Government had finished low.
We can, one supposes, be consoled that it did not call the report "a modest proposal" but that had been already used for the grandiose "jobs budget" that shrank into an "initiative" before finally morphing into a raid on the private sector's pension fund.
NewEra, meanwhile, which was supposed to create 100,000 jobs, has turned into a riddle wrapped in an enigma whose very existence now depends on the charity of those inscrutable strangers in the Troika.
Ultimately, nothing epitomises the growth of this bad habit of ambitious promises and minimalist changes more vividly than the fate of those whispered promises during its first days in Government Buildings about how there would be a 'Cromwell-style' clear-out of the mandarins who delivered us to the land of we are where we are.
Much of the mandarin class from the time are indeed now gone, but their departure has been accompanied by Bacchanalian settlements involving feasts in Government Buildings or the sort of happy coincidences where a hugely paid job in Europe suddenly lands in the lap of our non- lamented departing Secretary General in Finance.
Of course, it should be stressed some mandarins left voluntarily -- just as Napoleon, having grown tired of governing Europe, decided that Elba would be a delightful spot to write his memoirs and go fishing for cockles.
As we wonder at the spectacle whereby the most defining feature of the great clear-out of the top level mandarins,
is that there are now more of them than ever before, another classic example of the Rainbow phenomenon, in which the wine of reform is diluted down into a watery sort of gruel, consists of the evolution of our friends in Fas into something called Solas.
The latest legal debacle involving Fas appears to be another example of how reform, Rainbow-style, with some honourable exceptions, appears to consist of changing the brass plate on the front of the department whilst the same old systems are retained.
In fairness, there are reasons why the Rainbow is playing such an excruciatingly cautious game. The psychological shocks which this State has experienced means we are in no mood for radicalism.
As the Coalition tries to pick its way through the competing crises of sovereign debt, private debt, bank debt, mortgage arrears, Nama and EU debt, it would be a genuine achievement were our political mice to creep quietly away from the sick men of Greece and Portugal and attach Ireland to the slightly more upmarket Italy and Spain.
The Government is already acquiring the reputation, particularly in Europe where it is the clever pet of the Troika, of being more able administrators than the chaotic cabal of idiots which it replaced. But, while this is playing a key role in ensuring that the Great Powers of France and Germany are not actively hostile to our interests, domestically, the Rainbow of Grumpy Old Men now runs the risk of being seen as an administration of Quislings who prioritise the interests of our occupiers above those of the people.
Had Orwell survived to write a sequel to Animal Farm, he would have most likely realised that once the Jacobin instincts of our farmyard beasts had been aroused, the aftermath of the scene where they looked in the windows and could not differentiate between the pigs and the humans, would not have been pretty.
The other danger with the current conservative approach is that whilst caution is often the best option, it can, particularly under the guidance of the worst mandarin class in the history of the State, slide towards the territories of timorous mediocrity which were such a defining characteristic of the age of Social Partnership.
And, already, when it comes to the Grumpy Old Rainbow revolutionaries, the vested interests are sneaking back into town. Appointments to boards continue to operate under blatantly party political principles whilst our senior counsel and mandarins are spreading back into the centre of power like one of those virulent imported plants that colonise the native lakes.
Even the bearded brethren of the social partners are slowly creeping back towards the servants' entrance in Government Buildings. And the current scenario whereby, when it comes to legal reform, Labour appears to have become the surrendered bride of the bar library, would be curious indeed were it not for the inescapable fact that we are talking about the Irish Labour Party.
The Government has, in fairness, secured successes in areas such as the interest rate on our bailout but these events increasingly remind us of Michael Noonan's famous claim that Bertie Ahern resembled the sort of cock who thinks the sun rises because he is crowing.
In our case the Taoiseach formerly known as 'Bertie Lite' would be wise to not be deluded by the fool's gold of foreign policy triumphs and understand that success starts at home.
Whatever Mr Barroso says, the honeymoon here is finally over. It's time to stop posing and start governing -- unless you want to experience the same fate as your mentor.
