Interesting. I think the story really illustrates your inspiration: the Grand Hero who comes charging in against the Undead Lord, waving a sword and shouting the names of his gods. I like that aspect, the corruption of (blindly naive) good.
As for its actual magic effects, it seems almost mundane from a necromancy standpoint. But that doesn't bother me much, as I like the story a lot. Khalran seems a very practical sort of lich, which I can appreciate.

Kindred spirits, to a degree. Followers of the Way of Divine Wealth might see the usury Priests of Mammon practice as stifling commerce through excessive debts, though someone would praise the practice. They would also probably suggest charging a fee for usage of the churches, or at least setting up a shop or two within.

This has a nice, classic feel to it. I can envision this as a nice, low-mid level quest for a party. The detail you provide are very nice, but loose enough that it could be adapted for any setting (e.g., instead of a Taoist temple, it's an elven shrine that some sylvan elf clan is attacking). For a random-word sub, you've put together something very clean and usable.

At Google I/O, we announced Daydream—Google's platform for high quality, mobile
virtual reality—and released early developer resources to get the community
started with building for Daydream. Since then, the team has been hard at work,
listening to feedback and evolving these resources into a suite of powerful
developer tools.
Today, we are proud to announce that the Google VR SDK 1.0 with support for
Daydream has graduated out of beta, and is now available on the Daydream
developer site. Our updated SDK simplifies common VR development tasks so
you can focus on building immersive, interactive mobile VR applications for
Daydream-ready phones and headsets, and supports integrated asynchronous
reprojection, high fidelity spatialized audio, and interactions using the
Daydream controller.
To make it even easier to start developing with the Google VR SDK 1.0, we've
partnered with Unity and Unreal so you can use the game engines and tools you're
already familiar with. We've also updated the site with full
documentation, reference sample apps, and tutorials.
Native Unity integration
This release marks the debut of native Daydream integration in Unity, which
enables Daydream developers to take full advantage of all of Unity's
optimizations in VR rendering. It also adds support for features like head
tracking, deep linking, and easy Android manifest configuration. Many Daydream
launch apps are already working with the newest integration features, and you
can now download the new Unity binary here and the Daydream
plugin here.
Native UE4 integration
We've made significant improvements to our UE4 native integration that will help
developers build better production-quality Daydream apps. The latest version
introduces Daydream controller support in the editor, a neck model, new
rendering optimizations, and much more. UE4 developers can download the source
Get started today
While the first Daydream-ready phones and headset are coming this fall, you can
start developing high-quality Daydream apps right now with the Google VR SDK 1.0
and the DIY
developer kit.
We're also opening applications to our Daydream Access Program (DAP) so we can
work closely with even more developers building great content for Daydream. Submit
your Daydream app proposal to apply to be part of our DAP.
When you create content for the Daydream platform, you know your apps will work
seamlessly across every Daydream-ready phone and headset. Daydream is just
getting started, and we're looking forward to working together to help you build
new immersive, interactive VR experiences. Stay tuned for more information about
Daydream-ready phones and the Daydream headset and controller coming soon.

Last week, we clarified the expectations and
responsibilities when accessing Google user data via OAuth 2.0. Today, we're
announcing that in order to better protect users, we are increasing account
security for enterprise Gmail users effective October 5, 2016.
At this time, a new policy will take effect whereby users in a Google Apps
domain, while changing their passwords on or after this date, will
result in the revocation of the OAuth 2.0 tokens of apps that access their
mailboxes using Gmail-based authorization scopes. Please note that users
will not notice any specific changes on this date and their
applications will continue to work. It is only when a user changes
their password from that point moving forward that their Gmail-related tokens
become invalid.
Developers should modify their applications to handle HTTP 400 or 401 error
codes resulting from revoked tokens and prompt their users to go through the
OAuth flow again to re-authorize those apps, such that they can access the
user's mailbox again (additional details below). Late last year, we announced
a similar, planned change to our security policy that impacted a broader set of
authorization scopes. We later decided
not to move forward with that change for Apps customers and began working on a
less impactful update as described above.
What is a revoked token?
A revoked OAuth 2.0 token no longer provides access to a user's resources. Any
attempt to use a revoked token in API calls will result in an error. Any
existing token strings will no longer have any value and should be discarded.
Applications accessing Google APIs should be modified to handle failed API
Token revocation itself is not a new feature. Users have always been able to
revoke access to applications in Security
Checkup, and Google Apps admins have the ability to do the same in the Admin
console. In addition, tokens that were not used for extended periods of time
have always been subject to expiration or revocation. This change in our
security policy will likely increase the rate of revoked tokens that
applications see, since in some cases the process will now take place
What APIs and scopes are impacted?
To achieve the security benefits of this policy change with minimal admin
confusion and end-user disruption, we've decided to limit its application to
scopes only and to exclude Apps Script tokens. Apps
installed via the Google Apps
Marketplace are also not subject to the token revocation. Once this change
is in effect, third-party mail apps like Apple Mail and Thunderbird―as well as other applications that use multiple scopes that include at least one mail scope―will
stop accessing data upon password reset until a new OAuth 2.0 token has been
granted. Your application will need to detect this scenario, notify the user
that your application has lost access to their account data, and prompt them to
go through the OAuth 2.0 flow again.
Mobile mail applications are also included in this policy change. For example,
users who use the native mail application on iOS will have to re-authorize with
their Google account credentials when their password has been changed. This new
behavior for third-party mail apps on mobile aligns with the current behavior of
the Gmail apps on iOS and Android, which also require re-authorization upon
password reset.
How can I determine if my token was revoked?
Both short-lived access tokens and long-lived refresh tokens will be revoked
when a user changes their password. Using a revoked access token to access an
API or to generate a new access token will result in either HTTP 400 or 401
errors. If your application uses a library to access the API or handle the OAuth
flow, then these errors will likely be thrown as exceptions. Consult the
library's documentation for information on how to catch these exceptions. NOTE:
because HTTP 400 errors may be caused by a variety of reasons, expect the
payload from a 400 due to a revoked token to be similar to the following:
"error_description": "Token has been revoked.",
"error": "invalid_grant"
How should my application handle revoked tokens?
This change emphasizes that token revocation should be considered a normal
condition, not an error scenario. Your application should expect and detect the
condition, and your UI should be optimized for restoring tokens.
To ensure that your application works correctly, we recommend doing the
If your application uses incremental
authorization to accrue multiple scopes in the same token, you should track
which features and scopes a given user has enabled. The end result is that if
your app requested and obtained authorization for multiple scopes, and at least
one of them is a mail scope, that token will be revoked, meaning you will need
to prompt your user to re-authorize for all scopes originally granted.
Many applications use tokens to perform background or server-to-server API
calls. Users expect this background activity to continue reliably. Since this
policy change also affects those apps, this makes prompt notification
requesting re-authorization even more important.
What is the timeline for this change?
To summarize, properly configured applications should be expected to handle
invalid tokens in general, whether they be from expiration, non-existence, and
revocation as normal conditions. We encourage developers to make any necessary
changes to give their users the best experience possible. The policy change is
planned to take effect on October 5, 2016.
Please see this Help
Center article and FAQ for more details and the full list of mail scopes.
Moving forward, any additional scopes to be added to the policy will be
communicated in advance. We will provide those details as they become available.
Back in May at Google I/O, we announced the expansion Firebase, a mobile
platform that enables you to quickly develop high-quality applications, grow
your user base and earn more money. To help developers better understand the
range of features in

Happy Festing!
The Closure Compiler was originally released, in Java, back
in 2009. Today, we're announcing the very same Closure
Compiler is now available in pure JavaScript, for use without Java. It's
designed to run under NodeJS with support for some popular build tools.
If you've not heard of the Closure Compiler, it's a JavaScript optimizer,
transpiler and type checker, which compiles your code into a high-performance,
minified version. Nearly every web frontend at Google uses it to serve the
smallest, fastest code possible.
It supports new features in ES2015, such as let, const, arrow functions, and
provides polyfills for ES2015 methods not supported everywhere. To help you
write better, maintainable and scalable code, the compiler also checks syntax,
correct use of types, and provides warnings for many JavaScript gotchas. To find
out more about the compiler itself, including tutorials, head to Google Developers.
This isn't a rewrite of Closure in JavaScript. Instead, we compile the Java
source to JS to run under Node, or even inside a plain old browser. Every post
or resource you see about Closure Compiler will also apply to this version.
To find out more about Closure Compiler's internals, be sure to check
out this post by Dimitris (who works on the Closure team at Google), other
posts on the Closure Tools blog,
read an exploratory post about Closure and how it can help your project in
Note that the JS version is experimental. It may not perform in the same way as
the native Java version, but we believe it's an interesting new addition to the
compiler landscape, and the Closure team will be working to improve and support
it over time.
To include the JS version of Closure Compiler in your project, you should add it
as a dependency of your project via NPM-
npm install --save-dev google-closure-compiler-js
To then use the compiler with Gulp,
you can add a task like this-
const compiler = require('google-closure-compiler-js').gulp();
gulp.task('script', function() {
// select your JS code here
return gulp.src('./src/**/*.js', {base: './'})
compilation_level: 'SIMPLE',
warning_level: 'VERBOSE',
output_wrapper: '(function(){\n%output%\n}).call(this)',
js_output_file: 'output.min.js', // outputs single file
create_source_map: true
If you'd like to migrate from google-closure-compiler (which requires Java),
you'll have to use gulp.src() or equivalents to load your JavaScript before it
can be compiled. As this compiler runs in pure JavaScript, the compiler cannot
load or save files from your filesystem directly.
For more information, check out Usage,
Flags, or a demo
project. Not all flags supported in the Java release are currently available
in this experimental version. However, the compiler will let you know via
exception if you've hit any missing ones.

Technology helps us connect and communicate with others -- from sharing
commentary and photos on social media to a posting a video with breaking news,
digital tools enable us to craft stories and share them with the world.
Tango can enhance storytelling by bringing augmented reality into our
surroundings. Recently, the Tango team hosted a three-day developer workshop
around how to use this technology to tell incredible stories through mobile
devices. The workshop included a wide range of participants, from independent
filmmakers and developers to producers and creatives at major media companies.
By the end of the workshop, a number of new app prototypes had been created.
Here are some of the workshop highlights:
We even had an independent developer use Tango to create realtime video
stabilization tool. We're looking forward to seeing these apps—and many
more—come to life. If you want to start building your own storytelling and

Posted by William Denniss, Product Manager, Identity and Authentication
The Identity team is constantly striving to help Google users sign-in to
third-party applications with their Google account in a secure and seamless way,
and enable users to share select information from their account such as their
calendar or contact information with other apps, when they wish to do so.
Under the hood these interactions happen via OAuth requests, and over the years
Google has supported a number of ways for developers to implement OAuth flows
with us. With improved security and usability in mind, we will soon be ending
the support for one of these ways. In the coming months, we will no longer allow
OAuth requests to Google in embedded browsers known as "web-views", such as the WebView UI
element on Android and UIWebView/WKWebView on iOS, and equivalents on Windows
and OS X.
In contrast, the outdated method of using embedded browsers for OAuth means a
user must sign-in to Google each time, instead of using the existing logged-in
session from the device. The device browser also provides improved security as
apps are able to inspect and modify content in a web-view, but not content shown
in the browser.
To help you migrate, we offer libraries and samples that follow modern best
practices which you can use:
You can also read protocol-level
documentation for our standards-based support of OAuth for Native Apps, and
an IETF best
current practice draft on this topic.
Versions of Google Sign-In on iOS prior to version 3.0 don't support the current
industry best practices of the in-app browser tab, and therefore are also
deprecated. If you use Google Sign-In, please update to the latest version to
get all the recent security and usability improvements. For now, this policy
does not remove our support of WebView on iOS 8, however we may start to display
notices encouraging users to upgrade their device for better security.
The rollout schedule for the deprecation of web-views for OAuth requests to
Google is as follows. Starting October 20, 2016, we will
prevent new OAuth clients from using web-views on platforms with a viable
alternative, and will phase in user-facing notices for existing OAuth clients.
On April 20, 2017, we will start blocking OAuth requests using
web-views for all OAuth clients on platforms where
viable alternatives exist.
If you have any questions with the migration, please post to Stack Overflow
tagged with "google-oauth".

We're heading to the city of San Francisco this September to open a new space
for developers and startups. With over 14,000 sq. ft. at 301 Howard Street,
we'll have more than enough elbow room to train, educate and collaborate with
local and international developers and startups.
The space will hold a range of events: Google Developer Group community
meetups, Codelabs, Design Sprints, and Tech Talks. It will also
host the third class of Launchpad
Accelerator, our equity-free accelerator for startups in emerging markets.
During each class, over 20 Google teams provide comprehensive mentoring to
late-stage app startups who seek to scale and become leaders in their local
markets. The 3-month program starts with an all-expenses-paid two week bootcamp
at Google HQ.
Developers are in an ever-changing landscape and seek technical training. We've
also seen a huge surge in the number of developers starting their own companies.
Lastly, this is an unique opportunity to bridge the gap between Silicon Valley
and emerging markets. To date Launchpad Accelerator has nearly 50 alumni in
India, Indonesia, Brazil and Mexico. Startups in these markets are tackling
critical local problems, but they often lack access to the resources and network
we have here. This dedicated space will enable us to regularly engage with
developers and serve their evolving needs, whether that is to build a product,
grow a company or make revenue.
We can't wait to get started and work with developers to build successful
businesses that have a positive impact locally and globally.

This is just BEAUTIFUL!!! Wow. I love how your hearts replicate the feather movement and am very touched with why it was made. Your quilting is simply stunning. :)
Thank you so much.
Your classes have truly changed my life. I dreaded machine quilting before last summer then I took your design class and my eyes were opened wide. After your class I love to feather and all I want to do is quilt wholecloth. Thank you so much for all of your amazing teaching and techniques. I hope to one day meet you in person and shake your hand.
Wow! I now have a new perspective on whole cloth quilts. I never before had a desire to make one. I am a convert.
Yeah! Thank you. I love whole cloth, I feel that that the quilting is able stands out with whole cloth. Have you taken one of Cindy's classes? They are both filled with great techniques.
No I have not taken any of Cindy's classes. I was not interested in wholecloth quilts until I saw class samples. I will as soon as I am done other classes. I am also I a fan of Ann Petersen's classes.
How pretty & how touching and wonderful. As a mom I know just how much this quilt means to your mom from her loving daughter. I imagine that you had her in your heart & in your thoughts with every stitch. I wish her all the best in her treatment.
I'm in awe!

This is a beautiful place set just below the little Mayan reserve where they used to have Mayan sacrifices. The reserve has trails up to the altar and places to swim and a trampoline. The hotel is quirky in all the right ways, with great mosics, tiles and artwoks decorating all the rooms and common areas. The gardens are peaceful and filled with hidden treasures.

Not as in the perfectly acceptable "16 is a multiple of 2."
No, the new use of "multiple" as a careless synonym for "many."
As in today's New York Times, in a story about Steven Sinofsky, late of Microsoft:
"He answered questions from the audience and then left the resort, according to multiple people who were present."
"Multiple people"?
This is not permissible.
The writer was careless. And more careless were the copy-editors who are supposed to catch barbarisms. But how can they, given the kind of education, the kind of attitude toward language, that those who now do those jobs. by their laxness or indifference, exhibit?

"Multiple people" is bad for the same reason that "two people" is bad, but "multiple eyewitnesses" would have been just fine. "Multiple" in this sense is a more emphatic synonym for "several" and is certainly not interchangeable with "many."
14 Nov 2012
Hugh Fitzgerald
No, you are wrong. "Multiple people" is not wrong for "the same reason": that "two people" is wrong. "Two people" and "three people" are not nearly as wrong, if they are wrong at all. I'm willing to accept "there were three people in the room." You're not?
The problem with "multiple" is that it should be used only when those of which there are mutliples are identical. For example, I could write -- I wouldn't, but I could -- that many years ago I bought "multiple copies" of Pale Fire. Or that I bought "multiple copies" of Alan Coren's The Collected Bulletins of Idi Amin. That's because each copy of Pale Fire was identical to the other copies, and the same was true for the Collected Bulletins. [I note, by the way, that in one of their recent acts, Bird and Fortune use, for the fake African dictator, a lot of phrases lifted from those Collected Bulletins of Idi Amin -- what do they take us for? Do they think we've all forgotten what Alan Coren wrote when he was doing his Idi Amin? They should give credit, loud and clear].
"Many eyewitnesses" is fine. "Multiple eyewitnesses" is not. They are not identical, as copies of a book may be. You've simply read, or heard, the unacceptable phrase "multiple eyewitnesses" and familiarity has bred, as it usually does, not, pace the proverb, contempt, but rather acceptance. Just the way, I might add, that having Muslims appearing on radio and television is part of causing unwary unvigilant non-Muslims to become inured to, rather than permanently disturbed by and unaccepting of, their presence.

Well I have reinstalled the os of mi notebook Toshiba l305-sp5806r from windows and I don't fomented the hhd so that create a folder named windows.old, I deleted correctly, but I reinstall the drivers, utilities... But I want use the Toshiba wizard recovery and now don't appear in the repair options when I used f8, I have the partition because I can see in the manager discs of windows, what I do to see the Toshiba wizard recovery in the options of repair
This is due to the fact that since you didn't let the Recovery Wizard prep the drive it did not patch the boot information file (BCD). The net affect is that all you see in the repair options is the "stock" Microsoft menu items. If you didn't alter any of the partitions, you should still be able to <0> (zero) key boot the machine. With the power off, press and hold the <0> key. Now power on the machine while still depressing the <0> key. You should eventually see a "*** HDD Recovery...", at which point let go of the <0> key and it should boot to the Recovery Wizard menu.

U-M, OSU Agree to Halt Printing Sports Guides
Press release from the U; thought it was interesting enough to diarize.
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--The University of Michigan and The Ohio State University have agreed to halt the printing of athletic team media guides in an effort to develop new media initiatives for more effective communications and help with cost containment.
"With the new media environment and current economic climate, the decision to cut back in this area was prudent," Bill Martin, University of Michigan Director of Athletics, said. "The discussion to eliminate the printed version of the media guide has been ongoing within the Big Ten and NCAA administrative services for some time.
"We understand there is a need for a stronger commitment to new media," Martin added. "Our alumni and fans want more timely information."
Both Martin and Smith also noted it is important to make changes that will not affect the athletic and academic well-being of the school's student-athletes.
"With Ohio State and Michigan together making this statement, I hope our decision will be a catalyst for other schools to follow suit," Gene Smith, Ohio State Director of Athletics, said. "All athletic programs are in the midst of cost containment discussions, but our decision is not only based on economics, the structure of media consumption has changed rapidly and we need to meet the challenges head on.
"New initiatives will have to be developed to allow media, recruits, alumni and fans to follow our teams," Smith said. "Social networking already plays a role in our communication plan and new platforms will continue to develop."
The elimination of printed media guides will take place immediately and effectively will result in a total cost reduction of more than $250,000 per year.
Baseball has College Football's Solution
You may have noticed at some point over the past few seasons that college football fanaticism, as it relates to games and records, is undergoing some changes. With the increase in available bowls, national exposure and ultimately, the whining of the Non-BCS schools for better representation, conference games are actually losing their classic importance. Big 10 teams are actually rooting for their natural rivals, because better records and performance by conference schools means a bigger piece of the pie for your school's conference, and by extension, your school.
This is fine. It is the natural evolution of a sport in transition to pockets of intense rivalry in an almost club-like setting, to a national, well organized and intensely competitive sport. However, I believe everyone can see the day coming when the balance actually begins to tip in that direction too much. When the performance of a conference becomes so important that the next generation actually begins to become Big10 fans rather than Michigan fans. When the 10 years war loses its importance in history as Big10 vs SEC vs Pac10 takes over as the new rivalry.
This is not fine. College football should be dominated by devotion to a team, school colors, in some cases an Alma Mater or in others, the jersey you grew up cheering for with your dad on Saturday afternoons. And mark my words, that is disappearing. And it makes me sad.
But a solution does exist, in a sport much older than college football. Applause for Mr. Doubleday, if you please. Baseball has the solution. In fact, at one time, the Big10 embraced this solution. Only the conference champion went to the Rose Bowl. In baseball, only the top team in a division (wildcard excluded) goes to the playoffs, and it doesn't matter how that division performed either. In college football, there are too many bowls, and too much politics involved in the postseason deciding process.
I'm sorry to the Non-BCS schools, but at large bids are destroying the game. They really are. I'm not saying we need a playoff or anything. In fact, a playoff based on some sort of subjective polls is a mistake. It decides nothing, as the NC game has already proven. We need to give every single bowl game a hard and fast conference alliance. This will spur intra-conference competitiveness and rivalries back to the forefront by removing the advantage gained by having a conference as a whole perform well or poorly. Furthermore, like baseball, if we then want to have an NC game (which I do), we ensure a much better mix of teams to choose from in the bowls (if it is arranged in a +1 setup). After all, if I have 6 teams from a certain conference in NC game eligible bowls, I'm pretty likely to end up choosing two of them, not because they're the best, but because of sheer numbers.
So, football commissioners of America, lets learn from an older, unfailingly successful sport. Absolute and unflinching conference-bowl affiliations. Fewer bowls. More heated rivalries that turn areas of the country to lucrative war-zones than luke warm general affections for a conference. More good football. Less whining. Less crap.
Who will be #1?
There are a few spots on the defense that are up for grabs this fall. I would like to know who you think will win the starting job and why. Here are the positions - weakside defensive end, both outside linebackers, and both D-tackle spots.
Many things will happen between now and September, but here's how I think it will play out at DE. Even though Van Bergen looks like he's in the lead for the DE spot, I really think Craig Roh will impress. That kid showed a relentless motor in the All-American game that reminds me of Brandon Graham. He wasn't going against chopped liver in that game either.
Because Mike Martin flashed in the backfield all year last year, I really think he earns the #1 spot at DT. Second string will be a battle, but I'm not going to give Big Will the nod just yet. I think Sagesse will use his experience to beat him out for the second spot.
As far as outside linebacker, this one is tough because there are a few frosh safeties who project at this position that could push for PT. If the spring game is any indication, Jonas Mouton and Marell Evans will start at Will and Sam. (For those of you who don't know, "Will"=Weakside Linebacker, "Mike"=Middle Linebacker, and "Sam"=Strongside Linebacker. The strength of the defense is determined by either the wide side of the field or the strength of the offensive formation. Each team does things differently, and last year the field determined the strength for the UM defense. If the ball is on the left hash, the right is the strong side, and vice versa. Determining the formation strength can get complicated, but here is a simple version: if there is one tight end and he is lined up on the left side, that is the strong side.) If I had to bet, I think J.B. Fitzgerald wins out the weakside spot because of speed. Mouton stays at Sam.
What do you think??
Malkin is Amazing
So i know that this is a Red Wings fan dominated forum, BUT anybody else watch the Penguins vs. Canes game?
and watch Malkins third goal.
the no look backhand shot that went right upper ninety.
if you didn't see the shot,
make sure you look up the shot on ESPN or something, it is sick nasty.
The shot in the third period changed the game. First as a shot that opened up the game,
it was a huge momentum swinger, the Canes just looked lost and the rest of the game was played in their zone it seemed like.
The game was insane throughout the first period, Crosby opened the game up, and out of the first period, Canes were up 3-2, then the second period was almost the polar opposite, Penguins scored once to even it up, but other then that nothing happened until the last 8 seconds, when Penguins scored the go-ahead goal. Then the third period penguins scored 3 more times...including the amazing shot by Malkin. This shot rivals almost all great/historic shots. it was amazing. All I know is I had been watching and I just stood up and was like holy crap, and I called my family in and made them watch it. it was impressive. and yes, I am a penguins fan. not a hard core one, and it is nothing like my fandom of Michigan. but I enjoy watching them and will cheer for them.
Demetri Martin Cracks on Tressel (kind of)
Demetri Martin is an awesome comedian. Check out his show on Comedy Central, or many youtube clips, or even his albums to find out more.
Here we recount a recent joke about vests.
"Vests exist to protect you from things.
A life vest protects you from drowning.
A bullet-proof vest protects you from getting shot.
A sweatervest protects you from having a girlfriend."
This bit was much too enjoyable not to post here where there is a particularly refined enmity towards all things sweatervest-y.
For those who are uninitiated, Demetri Martin offers forth a brand of "nerd humor" which
one might suspect would be popular among the mgoblog crowd. Some other examples:
A friend asks "Do you have a Plan B if this comedian thing doesn't work out?"
Martin: "Hell no! I number my plans"
Another joke about batteries:
"It's a good thing they don't have 'B' batteries. If they did, it would sound like you were stuttering when you asked for them."
Finally, a random joke:
"I wish I lived next to Carnegie Hall. Then, if someone asked me how to get to my
house, I would just say 'Practice, practice, practice, and then take a left.'"
And yes, this really doesn't have much to do with football. Other disclaimers:
this was not written by Demetri Martin. This was not written with any real
objective at all. Well, maybe one: to get you to go look up some Demetri Martin
clips and enjoy them as much as I have. Is that so wrong?
Lo Wood to Decide in June
Lo Wood will be choosing his college of choice next month, if all goes to plan. His recruitment has been up and down lately, after what seemed to be a big Michigan lean. The recruiting ride took a sharp turn after Lo took a visit to Notre Dame's spring game.
He came back from the trip ranting and raving about the experience, and declared that Notre Dame was tied with Michigan. It seems that somewhere along the way the Fighting Irish have taken over the lead. This isn't a done deal, and as I said, it has been a roller coaster decision. If Lo was choosing now, it seems he would pick Notre Dame.
I fully expect the full court press to be put on by the Michigan coaches, which could result in our favor. Lo Senior's relationship with former Notre Dame players have played a role, as well as the Irish coaching staff. Several recruits have told me that it doesn't look good with Lo. They were quick to retort with a few names they are confident with, that would definitely make the fans happy. Rashad Knight was one name that came up, and it seems to look good for now.
As I said, and as we have all seen, anything can happen. This isn't over yet, but it looks like Notre Dame may have the advantage. Stay tuned...

CBNNews.com - BEIRUT - Hezbollah spiritual leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah announced Thursday that as long as Israel exists, there will be no peace in the Middle East.
"As long as Israel exists and its eyes are honing in on the territories of other states, the world will not know peace in the Middle East," Nasrallah said in an interview with Iran Broadcasting.
"The region will not see the light of peace and stability," he said, calling Israel a nation of "aggressiveness and "natural militancy."
"Israel will not cease to try and achieve its goals. It will use every means in order to actualize its ambitions," the terror chief said.
"Any Israeli attack against Lebanon, Iran, Syria or the Gaza Strip will be answered with a harsh response," said Nasrallah.
"Our position is stronger than it has ever been, from the logistical point of view, militarily and in numbers. Lebanon as a whole is united against one enemy: Israel," Nasrallah said.
According to Israeli intelligence officials, Iran has rearmed its Lebanese proxy with missiles and rockets, transported across the Syrian border.

Mike Myers, angry at his career, agrees to star in 'Pepe Le Pew'
It's come to this?
Look, I can accept that the wholesale strip-mining of the Looney Tunes characters is an inevitable thing. They are owned by Warner Bros., a gigantic corporation with stockholders to appease and profits to earn, and these characters are part of an enduring legacy created by dozens and dozens of hard-working artists and filmmakers over the years. They can be exploited and re-exploited forever, and will be. I get that.
But just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something.
When I was in Toronto for the film festival this year, I spent a good deal of time in line for the various press screenings, usually in the lobby of the Scotiabank Theater. It's one of these hyper-modern lobbies with eight different concession booths and video games and monitors everywhere and neon purple accents and color and sound and light and it is a damn nightmare if you're trapped in it for longer than fifteen miinutes.
One of the particular forms of torture that the lobby is designed to visit upon you with the focused sadism of a trap in a "Saw" movie is that they only showed two trailers the entire time we were there, on a loop. Over. And over. And over. And over. Two trailers. I don't care if those trailers are for "Lawrence Of Arabia" and "Brazil," if you watch them hundreds of times in the course of a week, you will learn to cringe as if from physical blows each time each beat of those trailers plays out. And what were they? "You Again," which I will never ever see, and which appears to be about six minutes long, detailing each beat of the film. And the other?
"Yogi Bear," god help me.
And you've seen the "Yogi Bear" poster, right? The single filthiest movie poster ever produced, featuring a joke so x-rated I can't even explain it? Forget about all those times you heard people try to show you the hidden subliminal porn imagery in movie posters... we're not talking about some imagined penis on some castle on a "Little Mermaid" one-sheet. I'm talking about a right-down-the-middle dirty joke.
Do I lie?
So how, then, are we to take the news today that this same studio is planning to make and then eventually release to theaters where real-life people will be able to see it, another CGI/live-action hybrid film, this time starring Mike Myers as Pepe Le Pew?
Just recently, Toshi and I went to the AMPAS theater for an evening of short films by Chuck Jones, and they showed every single Oscar-winning thing he did, including "For Scent-imental Reasons," which won Best Animated Short in 1949. It's a great cartoon.
It's also basically a horror film.
I'm not sure what anyone involved has planned, but Pepe Le Pew isn't romantic, and he's not terribly ha ha funny. He's a hyper-amorous skunk who is absolutely, 100% no arguments going to romance that kitty cat. And I'm being polite here. His slow, confident pursuit of his target is more akin to the cinematic language of the way they shoot Jason Voorhees pursuing his victims than any conventionally romantic character. If they're going to be true to the character, what are we looking at? Some weird "Alvin and the Chipmunks" thing where Pepe Le Pew spends the film trying to rape the housecat of the main human characters, all of it played for laughs?
I would invite you to look at that "Yogi Bear" poster again.
Imagine what lies in store for us.
"Pepe Le Pew" is coming. And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Ooooh... maybe that can be Warner's tagline. I'll throw in the lame double entendre for free.

FRANKLIN SQUARE - Salem Township Constable Dan Valentine is looking for whoever painted an "anarchist symbol" on the bronze marker at the Teegarden Centennial Covered Bridge.
The bridge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is in the Eagleton's Glen Recreation Area, an undeveloped 70-acre site about six miles south of Salem.
It is in an isolated part of Salem Township off Teegarden Road and is lit up at night.
Township Trustee Chairman Bill Heston said he noticed the vandalism on Monday and advised Valentine about it after Wednesday's regular trustee meeting.
The marker was placed at the scene by the Ohio Historical Society as part of Ohio's bicentennial.
Heston said, "I just personally feel it's real disrespectful. The state put
that (marker) up there for everyone to enjoy. I guess it shows their ignorance. Not cool."
Valentine said the symbol is the "standard symbol" of anarchy, adding the historical marker was the only thing at the site that he found that was vandalized with black spray paint.
"I checked the bridge and but didn't see anything, or on the back of the sign," Valentine said. The back of the sign is identical to the front and both sides are painted a bronze-like color.
"It's frustrating when people destroy other people's property," he said.
Valentine was unsure who would repair the marker.
The property is owned by the Salem Utilities Department which leases it to the county parks department which maintains it.
Utilities Superintendent Don Weingart said the lease expires in 2027. The city bought it the property in 1962.
"I can only say it's very disrespectful," Weingart said, "why someone would attack this ..."
A small picnic area is maintained by the city Parks and Recreation Department and the Greenway Bike Trail runs across the property.
The 66-foot, multiple king post bridge was designed by Jeremiah C. Mountz and David Reese.
It was in use until 1992 and underwent restoration in 2003 and is currently only open to pedestrian traffic.
In 2010 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
At one time, a small community was here, and a mill sat by the iron bridge just north of the covered bridge.
Future plans for the area include hiking, picnic space, camping, and other outdoor recreational activities.
The land follows the Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek from near State Route 45 at the pumping station.
It was named after Uriah Teegarden who owned land near the bridge.
Also known as the Centennial Bridge, it was built in 1876, 100 years after the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.
Valentine said the vandalism is under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact him at 330-427-0808.

In its 164-year history, the Fond du Lac Public Library has enjoyed the generosity of individuals and organizations in the community to augment municipal funding. On Tuesday, the library unveiled a display in the Main Library that honors new donors to its endowment fund.
Collage artist Mel Kolstad will return as Crafternoon instructor for a special class, Cover for Me Collage, set for 1 p.m. Saturday, February 15, at the Fond du Lac Public Library. Space is limited, and registration is required beginning at 9 a.m. February 1 at the Calendar or by calling the Help Desk at (920) 322-3929.
The hands-on American History class offered by Marian University at the Fond du Lac Public Library continues at 6 p.m. every Wednesday in February with a trip through the earliest days of our nation's history.
Sunday Matinee host Solutions Center has canceled the program until further notice. The Feb 16 showing of Monsters University is canceled.
Area artists have collaborated to create Green Fire: Art Inspired by Aldo Leopold, Wildlife and Nature, an exhibit February 1 through March 3 at the Fond du Lac Public Library's Langdon Divers Gallery.
During the Civil War, about 300 African Americans were living in Fond du Lac. They had been brought to the community by the Rev. Rogers, a local Methodist minister. But, by the 1940s, the group dwindled to just one person, former slave Mrs. Frances Shirley. What happened to make the young African Americans leave? How did Fond du Lac react to the minister's good works?
Up for a challenge, teens? Forget Sochi. The Great Choco-lympics start at 1 p.m. Sunday, February 23, at the Fond du Lac Public Library.
Teens in grades six to 12 are invited to experience the glory of chocolate as they battle it out in games such as Rapid-fire Sorting, Hershey's Squirt Challenge, A Whopper of a Race and Chocolate Pie Eating.
Two great sales are coming up in February at the Fond du Lac Public Library BookCellar, the city's only used book store.
February 1 and February 3: Groundhog Sale, buy one hardcover mystery and get one free from a wide selection that includes authors Tom Clancy, Suzanne Alleyn, John Le Carré, Patricia Cornwell, Loren D. Estleman, Mary Higgins Clark and Faye Kellerman.
After the holiday hustle and bustle was over the only books I felt like reading were something light and easy. I checked my "to be read" book list and headed to the paperback shelves, grabbed a copy of Just One Kiss by Susan Mallery, and found just what I was looking for. Susan Mallery, author of the long running Fool's Gold Series, is one of my favorite authors. Just One Kiss takes you back to the town of Fool's Gold, California with all its warm and quirky characters, and is the first in a trilogy within the long running series.
Veteran travelers Valerie and Wayne Graczyk will share their photos, stories and travel tips at The Best of Greece & Mediterranean Isles travelogue program at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 25, at the Fond du Lac Public Library. The program is free, and no registration is required.
Greece is at the top of the Graczyks' list of favorite travel destinations.

Bucks' Jennings will be part of tour in India
The National Basketball Association is working to extend its reach in India, and it has chosen Milwaukee Bucks' guard Brandon Jennings to help make it happen.
The NBA is expected to announce Thursday that Jennings will travel to India from May 13-18 to conduct a series of events to promote and grow the game in Mumbai and Pune.
Jennings was chosen because of his youth and his experience playing internationally. Jennings, 21, played overseas in Italy before coming to the Bucks.
"Having played in Italy, I have seen firsthand how the sport is growing globally and I am excited to visit India with the NBA to help continue the growth of the game," Jennings said. "The NBA has the best basketball players from around the world and it is amazing to think that one of the kids I teach in India could one day play against me in the NBA."
Jennings will be part of the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Nationals Skills Challenge Finals on May 15 in Mumbai. The event is the culmination of the largest school-based initiative ever conducted by the NBA in India.
Jennings will also go to Pune for a clinic. He is believed to be the first NBA player to host an event in that city.
Akash Jain, senior director of development for NBA India, said in a telephone interview that India was the next great frontier for the NBA. "India is a key priority market where we see great long-term potential," Jain said.
Basketball is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation, and the game is well-suited for a country with an extremely young demographic, Jain said.
"We're excited to have Brandon Jennings coming to Mumbai and Pune," Jain said. "He understands how global the game is."
