2015 Names To Watch: Reagan Williams
Position: Linebacker/Tight End
Ht/Wt: 6'3" / 232 lbs.
Location: Jackson High School – Jackson, OH
Offers: Kent State, Ohio
Ranking: ★★★ .8599 (247 Composite)
Linebacker/Tight end prospect Reagan Williams was one of many recruits to attend The Game at The Big House a couple of weekends ago and I was able to chat with him about that a little bit. Williams is being recruited by most schools as a linebacker but the Michigan coaches appear to have a fondness for him at the tight end spot. Williams was a very nice kid to talk to and had some great things to say about his visit to Ann Arbor.
He was not shy at all about how much he enjoyed his visit to The Big House by saying, "It was awesome! One of my best visits yet." He actually claimed it was a tie between Michigan and Michigan State. Not bad considering his other visits include trips to Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Cincinnati, and Louisville, among a few others.
The coaches in particular stuck out to Reagan while he was on his visit.
The coaching staff was very, very personable. I talked to every single position coach and they really made it feel like they have a family atmosphere with their players. The Big House was insane as well.
Reagan is an extremely intelligent kid, boasting a 4.0 GPA and a very respectable ACT score of 26, and that was easy to sense when I asked him if he had any type of affinity for his home-state Buckeyes. (Normally I wouldn't post a test score like that but he's proud of it and wants it to be public. It's part of his profile on his HUDL link.)
I'm a big Buckeye fan. I have been since I was a little kid, but recruiting changes your outlook on a lot of things as far as seeing what every school has to offer. If Ohio State offered it would definitely be something that would be seriously considered. It hasn't happened yet though so I can't totally describe the emotions that would be involved.
I was surprised by how much he admitted to liking the Buckeyes, while at the same time ranking his Michigan visit above their rivals from Ohio.
Every visit has it's pros and cons, but it seemed that the Michigan visit was VERY well organized.
As mentioned above the coaches have talked to Reagan about playing a fullback/h-back type of position because they really like how physical he is on both sides of the ball. Reagan says he doesn't really have a preference he just wants to play wherever it helps his team the most.
When I asked him about his plans for his senior season, Williams said all of the right things about wanting to excel in the classroom, work toward a state championship, and develop a strong relationship with a coaching staff from a school that fits well for him. When it comes to fit, he said he must play for a coach and a team that has a strong tradition of defense and an emphasis on physicality. He doesn't understand how the game can be played any other way. Pretty much the exact sentiment you'd expect from a fullback/linebacker.
With Michigan's 2015 class being so limited on scholarships the staff has already informed Reagan that he is being evaluated but they have to be meticulous with who they offer. The coaches did say that they'd like to check Williams out in person sometime during the spring.
At the end of our conversation it came up that Williams is a die-hard Patriots and Tom Brady fan and that he was awestruck by Brady's speech to Team 134 earlier this season. It's pretty clear that the Michigan coaches have done well with Williams thus far, but if they and the Buckeyes get more involved in his recruitment, it sounds entirely realistic that the Wolverines could be on the outside looking in.
Monday Recruitin' Ponders Visits
Michigan Offers Sills, Settle
Michigan offered two 2015 prospects over the weekend; one came as no surprise at all, while the other was somewhat unexpected.
The former is five-star VA DT Tim Settle, who had rave reviews of Michigan after he visited for the Notre Dame game; with Hjalte Froholdt going off the board to Arkansas last week, Settle was at the top of the board for available DTs. Settle will have his choice of just about any program in the country, and while the Wolverines made a strong early impression, they likely have some catching up to do now that the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC have come through with offers of their own.
The latter is Eastern Christian Academy QB David Sills, whose name should be familiar to you for two reasons: first, he notably committed to USC—then coached by Lane Kiffin—at the age of 13; second, he's teammates with U-M commits Freddy Canteen and Brandon Watson at ECA, the football-centric school founded by Sills' father. TomVH notes that there's another Michigan connection here:
On the David Sills offer, he trains with Steve Clarkson who also trains Wilton Speight. Clarkson and Borges have known each other for years
— Tom VanHaaren (@TomVH) December 6, 2013
Five-star CA prospect Josh Rosen is the only other 2015 quarterback with an offer; while he's recently expressed some interest in a visit to Ann Arbor after previously saying that wouldn't happen, he's very much a longshot. Although Sills hadn't been talked about as a prospect under serious consideration for the next offer, it's clear he's the #2 guy on the board, and per TomVH the coaches will have to wait and see if he's willing to open up his recruitment after the coaching change at USC ($):
According to his father, Sills wants to wait and talk with [USC head coach Steve] Sarkisian before making any decisions or commenting on his status. Sills' father believes it is too early to comment or respond to anything just yet without giving the new Trojans coaches an opportunity to speak with their son.
We'll see where this goes; there's little-to-no precedent for a prospect committing to a program before he's in high school, only for that program to fire the head coach he committed to when the prospect is in the midst of his junior year. Add in Michigan's multiple connections to Sills and this could get interesting.

Looking At Kansas State All Squirrelly-Like
Evaluating Michigan's bowl opponent.
So there's this guy. We can expect one of these.
Whoops! Game is at 10:15 PM Eastern, not 8:15. So… yeah. If you needed any reminders about what this season was like, playing at 10 PM on December 28th should suffice.
You've come a long way… a moderate way, baby. Remember when KSU kicked the season off with a 24-21 loss to I-AA North Dakota State? Yeah, in retrospect that may not have been that much of a surprise as the Bison are currently undefeated and in the second round of the I-AA playoffs.
K-State, meanwhile, went 5-4 in the Big Twelve, losing to who you'd expect they would (Okie State, Baylor, Oklahoma, and Texas) and beating who you'd expect they would. If you dismissed them after the opener, reconsider. Not only is NDSU rather good, KSU led Baylor, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State through three quarters. They were in every game this year save Greg Robinson's magnum opus. Football! Is ridiculous.
Kansas State hasn't really beaten anyone, but this is the Copper Bowl we're talking about. That was always going to be the case. On the whole, their season looks a good bit more impressive than Michigan's.
They gon' run. KSU had 286 passing attempts against 478 rushes, a 63% run rate.
The quarterbacks had multiple heads. Until sophomore Daniel Sams was relegated to the bench in the final two games of the year, he and junior Jake Waters had split time extensively. It took me a while to figure this out because a glance at the passing statistics makes it look like Sams is a garbage-time dude who picked up some attempts in the Oklahoma State game, presumably because of injury.
Nope! Sams is K-State's second leading rusher with almost 800 yards at 5.3 a pop. He's got monks and clouds and whatnot.
He is important.
K-State was on the verge of making him their full-time guy midseason when he rushed for 118 yards in the Oklahoma State game and completed 18 of 21 attempts. The problem: three of those were to Cowboys. That game was the only one in which Sams cracked ten passing attempts, but Bill Snyder has a knack for getting production out of broke-ass QBs. Sams was generally productive on the ground (West Virgnia of all teams was the only one to shut him down). He's between Gardner and Denard as a runner, more elusive in small spaces than Gardner but not goddamned incredible.
But Sams has been relegated, leaving Waters the presumed starter. Despite being the pocket passer (who is from Iowa) of the duo, K-State's by-any-means-necessary offense has seen him run over a hundred times this year, albeit with limited effectiveness. He's averaging under three yards an attempt on 106 carries, and while a good chunk of that is sacks it's impossible to figure out how much from box scores with Sams rotating in so much. His average game this year is about 10 carries for 30 yards. He's a keep-'em-honest guy on the ground.
In the air, dude wants to git it git it. His stats are quite close to Gardner's, but even more variable.
Waters was as INT prone as Gardner, though I'm not sure how many Waters got away with. I know Gardner got away with lots late in the season. Waters was also able to accumulate an even gaudier YPA, and while a 90 yarder against Oklahoma does distort things somewhat hacking that down to 50 doesn't move the needle much.
The picture is clear. K-State wants to run the ball; when they are not forced into long yardage situations they will be 70-30 run. When they are not running the ball, they are trying to score right now. A good chunk of the 30% passes will be attempts to tear Michigan's face off with deep balls.
AND THEN I WAS LIKE "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M A GUARD NOW" [Fuller]
Paging Frank Clark. Kansas State gives up a lot of sacks. Not as many as Michigan, which… oh God… was 116th in sack percentage allowed. Hi Kentucky! Florida! Rice! We're neighbors. Do you guys have two tackles who will be off the board by the end of the third round of the NFL draft? Probably not!
Anyway, they weren't much better at 90th. A chunk of this is the face-tearing thing. KSU spends a lot of time in the pocket working off play action with routes that take a long time to run. Like Michigan, if Michigan could run at all. The results are highly variable, like everything else about the K-State passing offense.
The other guy getting the many, many running opportunities. Virtually all K-State carries not allotted to one of the quarterbacks went to senior John Hubert, who had nearly 1000 yards on 182 carries, an impressive 5.3 YPC, especially for an offense that runs so much. His year was… variable. He busted Kansas for 220 last weekend; the previous two weeks he had a total of 15 carries for 42 yards against TCU and Oklahoma. He was effective in a midseason stretch; he got 12 carries for 41 yards against Texas and 7 for 30 against Oklahoma State.
Hubert's not overwhelming in his youtube clips, which also double as a quick look at the kind of things K-State does.
The Wildcat offense is misdirection running, misdirection running, misdirection running. Think Auburn or a super-sized high school.
As for Hubert, he's a little dude but he's got some Mike Hart in him.
Kansas State doesn't use him as a receiver much; he's averaging one catch per game.
Dangerman. When Kansas State does pass, most of the time they're looking for Tyler Lockett, who went Jeremy Gallon on Texas (237 yards) and Oklahoma (278). He did not have a similar impact in K-State other two conference losses only because he pulled up lame early in the Oklahoma State game and missed Baylor. He has returned to full health now, and Michigan will get a stiff test.
WRs Curry Sexton and Tramaine Thompson absorb most of the other completions. Thompson is as much of a deep threat as Lockett; as a team Kansas averages a healthy 15 yards a completion.
My name is Mueller. Prepare to die. Kansas State is middling at getting to the quarterback, with a sack percentage (ie, percentage of passing attempts ending in a sack) essentially equivalent to Michigan's. The teams are 70th (M) and 72nd. Unlike Michigan, KSU gets almost half their production from one guy. That is Ryan Mueller, a former walk-on out of Florida power St Thomas Aquinas who went from 14 tackles a year ago to 11.5 sacks this year.
Mueller is obviously a talented guy, but Michigan's tackles are quite good and have shut down just about anyone they've come across. At 6'2", 245, Mueller is strictly a DE/OLB type and could be vulnerable to donkeying by either tackle. In general a kickass DE does not bother me.
Meanwhile, Michigan has a bunch of bowl practices to familiarize themselves with the concept of a blitz pickup.
NAMES. Good gravy.
- Blake Slaughter. Countess's wrestling heel alter ego.
- Ajhane Brager
- Colborn Couchman
- Kip Daily
- Alauna Finau
- Kip Keely
- Charmeachealle Moore. Just stop naming your kid! It's over! You have used up all the letters you can for one name! No! I told you to stop! (Charmeachealle will have two more syllables by gametime.)
- Cre Moore. You can keep going.
- Curry Sexton. that's what she said
- Boston Stiverson
- Trent Tanking
- Kade True. He came from Salina, Kansas, with one mission: to stop Charmeachealle Moore's parents from giving their child a name so long it bankrupts the world economy. Can the power of earnestness overcome really long first names? QUEST FOR TRUETH. Summer 2014.
BONUS: In addition to two "Kips," K-State has two Dylans and a Dillon, a Tanner, four(!) Codys and a Kody, and two Travises.
Defense. K-State looks like a quality outfit, with a YPC allowed under 4 (sacks included) and a defense that's ceded just 6.3 yards per pass with more INTs (16) than TDs (13). But FEI hates 'em, ranking them 50th in a schedule adjusted system that puts them around the 25th percentile as far as BCS schools go. S/P+, which I don't like as much* but is another way to look at the data, puts K-State 53rd. The run defense is the issue, finishing 79th in S/P+.
And when you look at K-State's game by game, it does look pretty grim for them. NDSU blazed them for 215 in the opener; Texas went for 227; Oklahoma 301. In between those games are some better performances on the order of 30+ carries for 120, 130 yards against a bunch of passing-oriented Big 12 offenses. Is it good or bad when Texas Tech runs 27 times for 135 yards against you? Bad.
Who knows if Michigan's going to be able to do anything about this, but they have moved the ball on the ground reasonably well in two of their last three games.
*[I prefer drive-based systems because it feels weird to me that play systems look at 3 play, 90 yard drives differently than 11 play, 90 yard drives.]
An Interview With Erik Swenson
Coach Hoke and his staff have made a habit out of filling recruiting classes up rather early with little to no defection. That trend has already started again in the 2016(!) class with the very early commitment of OL Erik Swenson. Swenson is just a sophomore but already stands at 6'7" and tips the scales at right around 300 lbs. His size, athleticism, and rather solid technique for a young player has earned him some big-time offers from the likes of in-state programs, Illinois and Northwestern, along with Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Virginia Tech. As soon as Michigan offered him he wasn't shy about naming the Wolverines his leader and it was only a matter of time before he made it as official as he can for now.
As a sophomore what kind of a player is Erik Swenson right now? What are some of your strengths and weaknesses?
I've already gotten a lot faster and stronger off the ball. I still want to develop my punch so I can really deliver a blow to somebody. My pass blocking is probably my biggest strength right now and I wouldn't say I really have a weakness just some things to perfect.
When you arrive in Ann Arbor in a couple of years what kind of player do you want to be then? How would you like to be different from now?
I just need to be bigger, stronger, and faster. The rest of it will come with training and coaching.
I know you've been to Ann Arbor quite a few times. How many visits have you made and why do you like going there so much?
I've been there six times and they get better and better each time. The people, city itself, the coaches, the facilities, the restaurants. I just love it up there.
Liking it so much did you ever even think about anywhere else?
Northwestern was a little hard to say no to, but not that hard compared to Michigan. (Laughs)
You mentioned the coaches, tell me about your relationship with them.
They're wonderful! Their wives act like they've known you for 20 years already. You can just tell that they all really care about you. The entire family feel is not forced at all. It's very genuine.
So when did you definitely know that Michigan was going to be the place for you?
Right after the Notre Dame game. I wanted to wait until my season was over to announce it but I knew it after that game. I just knew I didn't want to go anywhere else and no other college could compare to Michigan.
Tell me about how your commitment actually happened.
I called Coach Funk on Sunday night (11/24) telling him that I wanted to verbally commit and then on Saturday at the game I was able to shake all of the coaches hands and they just smiled and said welcome to the family.
The commits for Michigan are notorious for being close before they even arrive on campus. Has that started for you yet?
Yeah a little. Ian Bunting is probably #1 as far as who I'm closest with right now. All of the guys are friendly though. It was easy to see during my last visit.
I know there are only a few 2016 with offers from Michigan right now but are you eyeing anybody to recruit?
Not really yet. I tweeted at Issac Nauta soon after I committed. I'm definitely eyeing him for sure!
The number 77. What's that mean to you and especially to you at Michigan?
Yeah man, I talked to Coach Hoke about that already. I just asked how do you get #77 and he said that he picks if you are worthy enough to wear it. That was pretty much it, but I know it's a big deal.
Legends numbers, The Big House, the history. Tradition is obviously a big deal at Michigan. What does it mean to you to be a Michigan Man?
I think it is a great honor to be considered a Michigan Man. I can not wait to play on that field.
Erik Swenson is another great ambassador for the Wolverine football program. He was very polite and well spoken and his passion for Michigan is very clear and he will wear the uniform as proudly as anyone. He has a chance to be one of the highest rated offensive linemen in the midwest so nabbing him this early is a pretty big deal. He already has near prototypical size for a left tackle and he still has two more years of high school ball to hone his skills and grow. He could be an absolute monster by the time he gets to Ann Arbor. The number 77 has to be earned and after talking with him I think Swenson will earn it.
Michigan Probably Playing Kansas State In Bowl
Various newspaper reporters from Kansas are reporting that Michigan is likely to be matched up with Kansas State in the Copper Bowl, which is now in Tempe. The game is December 28th at 8:15 PM.
I have no opinion on this.
UPDATE: official.
Michigan 107, Houston Baptist 53
Photos by Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog. Optional, highly recommended soundtrack.
While most of you were probably watching football, Michigan blasted an overmatched Houston Baptist squad this afternoon, tying a school record with 16 three-pointers en route to posting an absurd 1.64 points per possession and winning literally every statistical battle.
Nik Stauskas led the team with 25 points, shooting a scorching 6/9 from downtown and looking quite spry on his previously-injured ankle after being rendered completely ineffective Tuesday at Duke. Glenn Robinson III scored 17 points on 6/9 shooting, mostly getting his buckets in transition, including a couple of spectacular alley-oops. Derrick Walton Jr. and Zak Irvin each posted 14 points; Irvin was very effective wit his perimeter shooting (2/2 2-pt, 3/5 3-pt) while Walton was a perfect 3/3 from downtown.
The story of the game, however, was Mitch McGary, Fast Break Point Guard Extraordinaire. The master of chaos finished with a stat line of 14 points, nine rebounds (one off.), six assists—tying his career high from last year's Syracuse game—four steals, and a block; five of his six dimes came in transition, as did a couple of his buckets.
#10's face pretty much says it all (Fuller)
"He's one of our better push men," John Beilein said in the post-game radio interview, referring to McGary's ability to start the fast break. "I don't think anyone wants to take a charge from him."
No kidding. I can't describe the experience of watching McGary charge down the court any better than The Wolverine's Andy Reid:
Mcgary leading a break is like seeing a car skitter uncontrollably down an icy hill, then whip around perfectly into a parallel parking spot
— Andy Reid (@AReid_Wolverine) December 7, 2013
For a brief moment in the second half, it looked like McGary's day had skittered to a halt; after attempting to block a Houston Baptist shot, he fell hard onto his back and lay on the court in what appeared to be a good deal of pain. Being Mitch McGary, however, he popped up to his feet, attempted to wave Jon Horford away from the scorer's table, and waved for the crowd to cheer louder as he skipped—no, seriously, skipped—to the bench. The crowd obliged.
From there, McGary continued to put on a show, a freakily-skilled bull on parade leaving terrified defenders in his wake. Yes, it was a rote blowout against a bad team—the 54-point final margin was the largest for Michigan under Beilein—but it was a pleasure to watch. If this is Mitch McGary still rounding his way into shape, I can't wait to see what he looks like at full strength.

Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa's lawyers attempt to get a Child Molestation lawsuit against the "parent church" dismissed
from CDAPress.com:
COEUR d'ALENE – Attorneys for Pastor Robert "Bob" Davis of North Country Chapel in Post Falls and the California-based parent church Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa asked a judge Thursday to dismiss a lawsuit filed against them alleging a failure to protect children from a sexual predator.
The lawsuit, filed in August 2011 in 1st District Court, names four men as plaintiffs who said they were sexually abused as teenagers in 2000 to 2003 by a man who was known to have targeted boys in the past.
A separate and previous lawsuit names North Country Chapel and Calvary Rathdrum as defendants, saying Iglesias provided youth services for both institutions while targeting the boys. That case is pending.
Also named in the newer lawsuit, and asking the court for dismissal, is Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship, which like Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa is based in Santa Ana, Calif. Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship affiliates new pastors and churches to the Calvary Chapel family of churches.
District Court Judge Benjamin Simpson didn't rule on the requests for dismissal following arguments from the defendants' attorneys and Coeur d'Alene attorney Leander James, who represents the four alleged victims in the two church cases.
Pastor Bob Davis' attorney, Virginia McNulty Robinson, called allegations "absurd" that Davis withheld Iglesias' criminal sexual past from members of North Country Chapel while Iglesias was working in the church's youth ministry.
The lawsuit said Iglesias had been charged as a teenage juvenile in California with having sexual contact with a younger boy. It said he was removed from youth ministry for a Calvary Chapel church in Diamond Bar, Calif., at the time due to that charge.
It also said he had sexual contact with multiple underage teenage boys while working as an adult missionary in Thailand.
Attorney Randall Adams, representing Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship, said, "The plaintiffs are stretching to keep the deep pockets in this lawsuit."
Adams said there is no evidence of a connection between his client or Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and the four alleged victims or Iglesias. He said the two don't operate in Idaho, and had no information about Iglesias' past before the alleged abuse of the four boys.
Adams also said the alleged victims brought their claims too late.
James blamed the defendants' actions for the delay in filing the lawsuit.
James said the lawsuit is about protecting children and holding people accountable who don't.
He said Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and Outreach Fellowship and Pastor Davis had a policy and practice described as "restoration," in which they help people like Iglesias turn their lives around.
James said forgiving others is fine, but letting people like Iglesias who commit crimes work in youth ministry is negligent and puts children at risk. Not telling parents of Iglesias' work at the church is concealment, he said.
Adams said, "Mr. James has a distorted definition of restoration."
Robinson said there is no evidence that Davis preached restoration or supported the policy.

Simple question. Was Iglesias employed by any Calvary Chapel after he had been accused and found guilty of any form of child molestation? If yes, then I believe CC is responsible for endangering children in this instance. No institution in this country today will allow someone with that record to get anywhere near children. Forgive them, then restore them to some kind of work that doesn't involve innocent children.
Why are the CC's above the law?
They have their own standard for "restoration" under the guise of Christianity.
Why would they put someone back in ministry?
Do they have an obligation to warn the public?
This is a huge miscarriage of justice.
Alex at 3 said: "I think the Orange County Police authority or FBI or someone in a law enforcement capacity should launch an investigation, similar to the Jerry Sandusky Molestations, to look into who knew what and when…"
Seeming Parallels between the Penn State & Calvary Chapel too striking to ignore:
***Jerry Sandusky, assistant coach at Penn State, defensive coordinator.
***Jerry Sander, assistant pastor at CCFTL and its senior pastor Bob Coy's most ardent defender.
RE JERRY SANDER (Bob Coy's brother-in-law):
***The Second Mile: founded by Jerry Sandusky is a nonprofit organization for underprivileged youth, providing help for at-risk children and support for their parents in Pennsylvania.
***The Second Chance Thrift Store: founded by Bob Coy of CCFTL is a nonprofit organization for underprivileged youth, providing help for at-risk children and support for their parents in South Florida.
**Joe Paterno (affectionately known as Joe Pa), revered head coach of Penn State; sudden diagnosis with lung cancer (never having smoked a cigarette in his life) shortly after the sex abuse scandal broke and the accusation that he failed to report Sandusky, died 2 months later.
**Chuck Smith (affectionately known as Papa Chuck), revered head pastor of CCFTL; sudden diagnosis with lung cancer (never having smoked a cigarette in his life) shortly after his 'fatwa' on Alex from the CCCM pulpit…
Is all of this coincidence or Godincidence? If the latter, what is God trying to show us? Is this a cautionary tale for CC to deal with its sex abuse and other abuse problems once and for all?
[…] Excerpted Recommended PASTOR LEADERS article FROM http://calvarychapelabuse.com/wordpress/?p=1251 […]
I hope all those that have been involved in past legal action against various Calvary Chapels take the time to obtain the court documents. Also, anyone who has received a letter from CCOF investigating the possibility of removing the Holy Dove from their church should forward copies to you. These documents can help this case. Like the Documents I sent you, they may show CCOF defending the CC pastor or church and implying they are the main overseers of the franchises. They (CCOF) will take the time, and claimed to have the power, to investigate and possibly remove a pastor who was defending a falsely accused brother in the Lord; surely they have the responsibility to investigate, report and remove (if true) one who is suspected of pedophilia.
Chuck S.
Several books have or are being written, by very substantial authors, that describe the state of the American Church today. I have suspected certain things as I watch the 'progress', if you can call it that, in my own church experience. The latest book entitled, Bad Religion, is getting a lot of traction. I haven't read it yet but intend to.
The accusations that have been thrust into the face of CC in recent years are just the tip of the iceberg regarding abuses occurring in many independent movements across the country.The stories are well documented and very similar in kind. I am very saddened by all this. Many of the church leaders today never would have appealed to me thirty years ago. They are all fluff compared to the depth in Christian men's lives prior to the '60s. Think of A.W.Tozer, Dwight Moody, and Jonathon Edwards for just a few examples.
The way in which Chuck Smith spoke with Alex Grenier on a podcast was extremely disappointing. I know Alex to have his rough edges. He doesn't hide it. Alex is see-through for the most part. But Smith castigated Alex for these character flaws rather than taking a seriously hard look at the accusations being trust into his face about a known abusive pastor. Smith did not investigate this matter thoroughly in anyway, shape, or form. He took Alex's parents word for it, and assumed Alex to be a nut. Shameful but that is what the books are now recording is the MO for these independent churches.
This blog has received in excess of 2 million hits since its formation. That doesn't happen easily. Those numbers do not automatically make these accusations true. What it says is there is quite a lot of interest around this subject. The Grenier brothers have a problem that is seemingly widespread in the CC movement.
I completely understand Chuck Smith's reluctance to speak out about these issues from a legal point of view. He maintains he holds a loose association with other CC churches. The courts will decide if he or his heirs can maintain that view. From a biblical view, Chuck Smith has not followed scripture. He and many others have explained away the problem. Their theology is distorted. At least their practice of it is. And CC is one of many in America that is loosing it's saltiness. I would rather sit under the leadership of a pastor in a third world country than under the Hawaiian shirts near Disneyland.
Let us all search our hearts today. If we still attend a fellowship that has a record of abuses, and we have not stood up to these abuses as a faithful follower of Christ, then may we repent today. Will you come along side the many "Alex's" and help them be heard? Will you be patient, diligent, and forthright in all your actions so you will not stoop to the level of insensitivity that many of these questionable pastors show? Pray for the American Church. Link with all those in the other churches around you who love God, and seek to do the real work of God in your daily life. The six days of the week have more potential for expanding the Kingdom than what goes on Sunday morning. Rise up and follow God. The Church must become holy again when God's people become intolerant of sin in their leaders lives. May God be glorified.

Precisely. But know that there are faithful pastors out there preaching the total truth, but you won't hear about them, because they're going about their ministry (notice I didn't say going about their business, since so many modern preachers are really businessmen providing a product).
The "cool pastor" thing is tiresome.
Yes Andy, I am well aware of these unsung heroes of the faith. I am still quite optimistic that the future could be bright. I think it is our responsibility to capsize these boats that are floating on crass commercialism. Get the pastor out of 'business', and mobilize those believers who are in business to model the Kingdom of God 5-6 days a week.

Interesting, Fun, Deep, EmotionalI really enjoyed this anime. I loved the story. It was different from anything else I had seen up until that point and therefore it really held my attention. The development of the characters is interesting too as it takes its time to tell the story and open you up to the world created. I highly recommend this anime. Give it a try you will enjoy it.
really great drama with some comedy mixed in.I have been reccomending the two seasons of this show to anyone that really liked the mush shi anime, mostly due to the fact that they are both really close in terms of the feel of the story, both share a common issue and they both share the same pace and emotional mood ( with this show having more comedy than mushi shi )Read more
Overall I really liked this one, I flew threw both seasons and still wanted ...
Moving and Sweet AnimeI've thoroughly enjoyed this Anime, and most episodes have brought a tear to my eye. I love stories about youkai, spirits, Shinto, etc... because we're so very starved for such things in North America. Our culture scoffs at anything "folklore" related and shows about our spirit heritage are few and far between.Read more
This is a story about loneliness, friendship, compassion, prejudice, and love, in ...
A laid back, yet intriguing supernatural animeThis anime seems almost cliche at first. A high school boy who can see spirits. We've all seen that before. It goes way beyond just that. He meets his future "partner in crime" Madara aka Nyanko sensei and the pair's conflicting personalities bounce off each other in such a way that it is amusing without being annoying. We also get to meet and learn more about these spirits, not just that they are ...Read more
A good breather from endless intense animes.This series has all the elements you would expect an action series to have, but somehow it doesn't have an action-series feel. The premise is a boy with superhuman abilities in a world filled with monsters, most of which are out to hurt him. Action-story, right? While it's true there is some action, the "climate" of the series is very gentle and feel-good, you feel satisfied when each episode is ...Read more
Natsume Yujin-cho was just what I neededI've been out of the habit of watching anime for a little while, and I needed something to get me back in. This was it!Read more
Natsume, who can see youkai, was a great character to lead me back into the world of anime and I like that he has this equal love for youkai and humans, and it just teaches us to love all creatures (even though sometimes we wish they werent real, hehe). Anyways, plot was ...
Touching and Captivating.I absolutely love this series. It's a quiet touching story about relationships with well-timed comedic moments from the "pig-cat" that I adore! (Just got figures of the cat, soo cute!) It's an unlikely pair/partnership that you watch grow into a great relationship. Highly recommend.
Refreshingly Addictive (:There's a manga out on this anime and I seriously recommend you read it (:Read more
Anyhow, I read the manga (got up to volume 12 I think?) and I LOVED it so very much!! The art style was different and refreshing, as was the plot and the way the story just flowed. Coming onto crunchyroll I noticed this anime and wanted to read it but seeing as how I'd been disappointed with the animated version of a lot ...

Special Issue "Additives for Lubricants"
A special issue of Lubricants (ISSN 2075-4442).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (20 November 2013)
Special Issue Editors
Guest Editor
Prof. Dr. James E. Krzanowski
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neither mineral nor synthetic base oils can satisfy today's lubricant performance requirements without using additives. Additives are chemical substances, in most part synthetic, which are used in lubricant formulations to adjust a broad of spectrum of properties by enhancing what is desired and suppressing what is unwanted. Many additives are multifunctional products that may exhibit synergistic or antagonistic behavior when mixed together. As a rule of thumb, additives do not add. This makes balancing and optimization of additive systems a challenging task.
The increasing focus on energy efficiency and environmental safety of lubricants poses new challenges for lubricant formulators, preventing or restricting the use of certain time-proven chemistries, such as ZDDP in engine oil or boric acid in MWF formulations. At the same time, it stimulates the search for new classes of additives, including all-organic ashless friction modifiers, nano-additives, and bio-based superlubricity additives, as well as fundamental studies into how individual additives work.
This special issue will examine current advances and future trends in lubricant additives. Contributions are solicited both from academic researchers working in the field of tribology and lubrication science and their industrial peers dealing with additive adpack development and lubricant formulation. The idea is to promote bi-directional information exchange whereby some practical challenges faced by lubricant industry are presented to university researchers and novel additive chemistries are exposed to industrial researchers and formulators involved in product development.

Title: Lubricant additive technology for continuously variable transmissions
Authors: Keiichi Narita
Affiliations: Lubricants Research Laboratory, Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd.
Abstract: This paper sought to examine the effect that the additives and base stock used in the metal belt CVT oil have on the CVT transmission torque capacity.
An additive formulation consisting of a combination of a phosphorus anti-wear additive, a calcium detergent, and dispersant improved the friction coefficient between the metals. The results of the surface analysis of the friction surface indicate that a substance, presumed to be calcium compounds, formed a film exhibiting small islands. Because this film is rougher, it is assumed there is a high friction coefficient.
By further adding a sulfur extreme pressure agent, it became possible to improve the anti-seizure properties while maintaining a high friction coefficient.
Examining the effect base stock has on the transmission torque capacity of actual belt CVTs revealed that SN (synthetic naphthene) exhibited a 10% higher torque capacity than that of PAO (polyalphaolefin). It is believed that the difference in the torque capacity is due to the difference in the oil-film shearing force generated by the relative sliding between belt and pulley.

Title: Diamond-Like Carbon Introduced by Novel Silicate Based Lubricant Additive
Authors: Jing Zhang
Affiliations: Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, USA
Abstract (around 100 words): Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) was observed with the application of a novel silicate based lubricant additive. The tribological properties of the pin-disk pair is studied using a new designed pin-on-disk tester. With the application of the additive, the coefficient of friction was reduced by ~40%. SEM and XRD examinations showed that a smooth and high C-content outer layer was formed on the specimen surfaces, suggesting formation of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. Using nano-hardness measurements, the hardness of the layer on the disk and the pin were 10.2 GPa and 16.7 GPa respectively. Wear loss and ferrographic analyses indicated that a "negative wear" occurred when the additive was applied, suggesting the debris particles were captured by the specimen to form the self-repaired restoration layer.

Title: Lubricants: Its Application in the Pharmaceutical-Solids
Authors: Jinjiang Li and Yongmei Wu
Affiliation: Drug Product Science and Technology, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., New Brunswick, NJ 08903, USA
Abstract: Lubrication is a key parameter for a successful manufacturing in pharmaceutical operations and lubricants are the essential ingredients in formulation development to achieve this. Although many unsuccessful manufacturing operations are caused by the issues related to lubrication, in general, lubrication is not considered a very challenging step in drug development. In this paper, first, a fundamental background on lubrication will be reviewed, in which the relationships between lubrication and friction-adhesion will be discussed. Then, the application of lubrication in pharmaceutical product development and manufacturing process will be discussed: the lubrication in powder blending, roller compaction, and tabletting. In addition, the characteristics of commonly used pharmaceutical lubricants will be summarized. Furthermore, some case studies on the impact of lubricants on pharmaceutical operation and product performance will be provided. Finally, we will present some perspectives on the development of new lubricants in the pharmaceutical industry in the future.

Title: Phosphate Esters as Lubricant Additives
Authors: David W. Johnson and John E. Hils
Affiliations: Department of Chemistry, University of Dayton, 300 College Park, Dayton, OH 45469-2357, USA
Abstract: Phosphate esters have been used as lubricant additives for over 50 years. While their use has been extensive, the knowledge of how they work has been much more recent. In this paper, the use of phosphate esters as anti-wear or extreme pressure additives is reviewed with an emphasis on their mechanism of action. The mechanisms of these materials interacting with a wide range of substrates are examined. The review includes the applications of trialkyl phosphates and triaryl phosphates.

Title: Nanomaterials in Lubricants: Myths and Facts
Authors: Boris Zhmud and Bogdan Pasalskiy
Affiliations: Applied Nano Surfaces, Knivstagatan 12, Uppsala 75323, Sweden
Abstract: The present paper overviews the use of various classes of nanomaterials in lubricant formulations. The following classes of nanomaterials are considered: fullerenes, nanodiamonds, fumed silica, clays, ultradispersed boric acid and PTFE. Current advances in using nanomaterials in engine oils, industrial lubricants and greases are discussed. Results of numerous studies combined with formulation experience of the authors conclusively suggest that nanomaterials, indeed, have potential for enhancing certain lubricant properties, yet there is a long way to go before balanced formulations are developed.

Title: Tribological Performance of Non-doped and Ti-doped DLC Coatings Lubricated by Low-SAPS Additive Formulations and the Link with Tribochemistry Effects
Authors: Hongyuan Zhao, Ardian Morina, Anne Neville, Jiancun Rao, Jeff de Hosson and Frederic Meunier
Affiliations: School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK; 2. Department of Applied Physics, University of Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands; 3. Sulzer SOREVI SAS, Limoges Cedex, France.
Abstract: Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings have been one of the most popular topics for automotive powertrain material research in the last decade. Many fundamental research papers have been published in previous years, for which most of the tests were performed in vacuum, with a controlled gas supply, water, base oil or single-additive oil formulations. This current study has taken a close look at how DLC coatings perform when lubricated by some new engine oil formulations. Ti-doped DLC was tested together with non-doped pure hydrogenated DLC to investigate the effects of the metallic doping elements on tribological performance and tribofilm composition. Current and new low Sulphated Ashes, Phosphorus, and Sulphur (SAPS) diesel engine oil technology formulations were used as the lubricants in the tests. Friction and wear results were obtained which indicated the dependence on the oil type. Post-test surface analysis techniques, such as XPS and TOF-SIMS were applied to study the tribofilm formation on DLC surfaces. Some functional groups, such as PO2-and OH-related groups were found to have high intensities in the wear tracks and were linked with good tribological performance. Ti-DLC showed an increased reaction rate with Ca- and P-containing additives compared with non-doped DLC. Some friction and wear reduction mechanisms were proposed to be related with the tribochemsitry effects in this study.

Finding an ace is a very difficult task for baseball teams, and developing a two-time Cy Young Award winner is even harder. That is why the San Francisco Giants have been trying to sign Tim Lincecum to an extension.
The two sides are far apart, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, and it does not look like a resolution could come soon.
If a deal does not get done, there will be a number of teams who will be calling Giants GM Brian Sabean about the cost to acquire Lincecum. It would take a lot, but there are teams who would sell their whole farm system for him.

Did you watch yesterdays presentation by company president yesterday?
No... Was something mentioned that can be diclosed on this message board? Thnak you,
Anticipation of the stockprice because of collaboration with big farma by end of the month. This will go up very quickly now.I guess that 0.36 would be nice to get ou if no news is coming. For now, just accumulate. technical very interesting stock.Glad to have it.
Well ONCS participated in the ROTH conference and made its presentation yesterday. Probably has something to do with it as well .
Sentiment: Strong Buy
or there might be some new announcement to be made at the hemonc melanoma meeting this friday

Balancing Act
This skipper has two large rubber bags filled with water. Each bag holds over 2,000 lbs of water. The bags are pulled up a halyard, and with a twist of the helm the bags swing out over the side and put a serious list on the boat. The skipper performs a delicate balancing act to maintain the list to get a 65' Mast under a 50' bridge.

Figs and Wine in Staten Island
Joe Scaravella's backyard inspires the daily specials at his Italian restaurant
Staten Island, N.Y.
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below)
One recent sunny Saturday Joe Scaravella trudged through his Sangiovese vines in purple Converse sneakers and denim cutoffs, a thick gold chain dangling around his neck. "I don't have time to sleep," he sighed.
That's because he lives a double life. Much of the day Mr. Scaravella, age 54, works his full-time job as a material forecaster for the Metropolitan Transit Authority in Brooklyn, N.Y. But most nights Mr. Scaravella is better known as the proprietor and founder of Enoteca Maria, a 35-seat Italian restaurant that's generated so much press it's attracting visitors from other countries—and even Manhattan—over to sleepy Staten Island for a meal.
Enoteca Maria's popularity lies in large part with its "nonnas": a slew of local Italian grandmothers who rotate shifts, cooking up specialties based on what's available that night. And what's available is based in part on what ingredients are growing in Mr. Scaravella's sloping, terraced garden behind his home up the hill.
On just a fifth of an acre, Mr. Scaravella's garden overlooks the harbor, Brooklyn and the Verrazano Bridge. Every patch of soil is occupied by a wide variety of foods including arugula, watermelon-sized squash, peaches, figs and San Marzano tomatoes. Last year Mr. Scaravella found room to plant 30 Sangiovese vines; he spent much of this afternoon crawling up and down the hill weeding his little vineyard.
Many of the plants were donated by neighbors and customers. As such, Mr. Scaravella doesn't know the names of half the varietals he's growing. But for the past two years he and his posse of friends and volunteers have carefully followed the protocol for biodynamic farming, a process that involves planting according to the lunar cycle and using spray-on concoctions made from things like animal skulls filled with oak bark and deer bladders stuffed with yarrow blossoms to aid in composting and fertilization. Next year Mr. Scaravella hopes to get his plot certified as the first biodynamic farm in the five boroughs.
"It gives you an edge if you have your own garden because everything tastes better," said Tattfoo Tan, a local artist who helped clear stones and pluck weeds. Mr. Scaravella said he'd like more help, but has grown wary of strangers after one volunteer chopped down some vines he had grown attached to. "I was heartbroken," he said.
In front of the garden is Mr. Scaravella's modest two-bedroom, two-bathroom Dutch Colonial filled with family heirlooms and flea-market finds. He and his wife split up two years ago; one of his sons helps him out at the restaurant and stays in the guest bedroom, "ruining any chance of me being a bachelor," he joked. His mother, whom the restaurant is named after, is a big presence. Her antique ceramic dishware, painted with Norman Rockwell images, rests along a wooden rail that circles the dining room, and her old handbag hangs from a chair she used to sit in.
Born to Italian immigrants, Mr. Scaravella grew up in Brooklyn's working class Bath Beach neighborhood and lived on the same block for 50 years until most of his immediate family passed away. In 2006, he bought his home here for $673,000, convinced it was meant for him when he saw the dish rail where he could display his mother's plates. (Homes on the same street are currently listed for $663,000 and $844,000.)
Mr. Scaravella said he had no intention of opening a restaurant when he came upon a storefront for rent while he was out hunting one morning for a breakfast pastry. He placed an ad in a local Italian-language newspaper for a cook, and when women from as far away as the Bronx came showing off trays of their finest creations, he decided to try a rotation of chefs rather than just one. Rosa Turano drives in from New Jersey once a week to cook Northern Italian specialties like salt cod with milk and cheese and rabbit stewed with cinnamon. Because her husband is diabetic, Ms. Turano says it's only at the restaurant that she can "use butters and creams and make things I really love to make."
Most nights, Mr. Scaravella drinks and chats with his restaurant guests until the wee hours and fetes every birthday by blasting the Beatles song, "Birthday," on the stereo. He's thinking about opening another restaurant nearby featuring the cuisine of "nonnas from around the world."
But Mr. Scaravella said he has no plans to quit his day job, which offers health and retirement benefits. After long nights at the restaurant, Mr. Scaravella sometimes "comes in a little groggy," says Vincent Romanzi, Mr. Scaravella's manager at the MTA. "But one cup of coffee and he's back to normal."
Corrections & Amplifications
Joe Scaravella has a full-time job with New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. This article incorrectly described the agency as the Metropolitan Transit Authority.

C Class
The Mercedes C-Class Estate is well equipped and has a plush cabin, but it's not as good to drive as its rivals. …
A well sorted family estate that's comfortable, spacious and affordable, if not quite as practical as the Skoda Octavia Estate.
The Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer (ST) is a compact estate that competes with rivals like the Ford Focus Estate, Skoda Octavia Estate, Volkswagen Golf Estate, Seat Leon ST and Kia Cee'd SW. Pricing is one of the Astra's key selling points, as it undercuts many rivals despite being fairly well equipped, and it has some very efficient petrol and diesel engines that will appeal to private and company car buyers alike.
Even the smallest 1.0-litre petrol feels peppy enough, although it may struggle if you carry heavy loads, while the 1.6-litre (available in a couple of power outputs) is likely to be the best bet for most buyers. Certainly, our favourite is the 1.6 CDTi 136, which makes most sense in Tech Line trim for private buyers and business users, unless you're buying on PCP finance, when SRi is likely to be available with better monthly costs. It's an efficient engine with enough response to satisfy in everyday driving, and it complements the Astra's tidy, composed handling nicely.
The boot is a good size and shape, and has some practical touches including a low load lip and seats that fold flat easily, although a Skoda Octavia Estate has a noticeably bigger boot and is a bit more practical, still. The Astra is just as good as the Octavia for rear passenger space, though, which means that tall adults will be comfortable even behind a tall driver.

Review: 'Arbitrage' an odd mix of Richard Gere, 'Law & Order' and indie sheen
PARK CITY - Over the past few years, there have been an increasing number of pictures that were questionable inclusions to Sundance's premieres slate. A few them were actually good films ("The Company Men," "Smart People," "Cedar Rapids," ), but many were star-filled pseudo indies seemingly intended to satisfy sponsor attendees and the affluent contributors looking for a little bit of Hollywood during their Park City festival vacation ("The Great Buck Howard," "Brooklyn's Finest," "Motherhood," "The Butterfly Effect," "My Idiot Brother" and "The Son of No One" come to mind). A good deal of these films would have been more appropriate at the more commercial Toronto Film Festival (and it's worth noting the opposite is true with pictures such as "My Sister's Sister" debuting at Toronto this past year). Saturday night featured two of these broad, star-filled premieres: "Arbitrage" and "Lay the Favorite." The former was clearly the better of the two, but it still another disappointment for an edition of the festival where that's become the operative word.
The big screen debut of writer/director Nicholas Jarecki, "Arbitrage" centers on wealthy New York businessman Robert Miller (pRichard Gere as a much classier Donald Trump) who is in the final stages of selling his holding company to a competitor in order to provide a secure and lasting future for his expanding family. The audience soon discovers, however, that Robert and his underlings are hiding a major loss in an independent audit needed to approve the sale. Unless Robert's company is purchased by the end of the week the temporary cover up will come to light and our "hero" could find himself going to jail for 20 years for financial mis-dealings. Robert has kept this secret from his family including smart daughter and company CIO Brooke ("Another Earth's" Brit Marling providing some indie cred) and supportive wife (Susan Sarandon). If things weren't complicated enough, Robert has been engaging in an affair with Julie (Laetita Costa), a tempestuous and passionate French artist (aren't they all?) who has grown increasingly impatient as his second priority (yes, she really does say "You're never going to leave her are you?"). After a dramatic night that coincidentally features both an important business meeting gone wrong and Julie's big art show, the pair set out to escape the stress by driving to Robert's secluded and no doubt gorgeous cabin upstate. Before you know it, a terrible accident occurs and Robert spends the rest of the film trying to weave and then untangle a web of lies while also desperately trying to sell his company so his family won't go broke. If it sounds like a lot it is and when Tim Roth arrives as a New York detective investigating the accident the picture makes a strange detour to "Law & Order" territory (cue the "L&O" music).
It's clear Jarecki is using "Arbitrage" to segue to a studio career and that's fine, but he cant bring enough original style to the proceedings to make the screenplay any less convoluted or compelling. As for his stars, Gere has played this type of character numerous times before, but gets credit for doing everything in his power to keep it watchable. The picture is also assisted by Marling who makes it ten times more interesting every time she steps on screen. You just wish there was more for her to do. Sarandon, who was attached to an earlier version of the project with Al Pacino and Eva Green, is hardly involved in the proceedings except for a climactic scene with Gere over the fate of their marriage. The two vets try to make it as believable as possible, but Jarecki just can't pull it off.
Numerous mini-majors and studios could no doubt cut an interesting trailer for "Arbitrage" (Jarecki has provided enough slick shots), but box office prospects seem limited in the U.S. The film will find a more suitable audience on cable or VOD.
