A Case for Denard to be in NYC for the Heisman Ceremony
Note: This started as a board post and evolved into something diary worthy (I think). However, bump to the board if need be. Thanks!
So I know that there are 3 games left, and I know that individual awards don't matter in comparison to the team winning games.
And I also know that the Heisman does not go to the best player in college football anymore, but rather to the best player on a top 10 team. Its been that way for a long time.
HOWEVER, I find myself looking at the stats that Denard is continuing to put up and can't help but wonder why he is getting absolutely ZERO consideration after the media explosion that happened earlier in the season.
Let's look at some facts:
Total Offense:
Denard leads the nation with 351.44 YPG (ahead of Cam Newton by almost 50 YPG!)
In terms of pure yardage he is 3rd behind Griffin III and Moniz who have each played an additional game.
Rushing Offense:
Denard is 2nd in the nation with 149.89 YPG (behind OR's James at 166.38)
However, he is actually leads James in total yardage with 1349! James is only counted for 8 games because he was suspended for punching his girlfriend against NM, while Denard is counted for 9 despite barely playing against BG and missing close to a half against Iowa and Illinois.
So basically if someone out there was ambitious enough to do a "yards per 60 minutes played," I guarantee Denard would be the nation's leading rusher.
DRob is also 2nd in the nation with 7.37 YPC behind Taylor Martinez and well ahead of James at 6.79.
Passing Offense:
Denard's Total Passing Yards (1814) are obviously nowhere near the top of any list, but being a duel-threat QB that isn't really relevant (see Total Offense).
However, Denard ranks 11th! in Passer Efficiency Rating (160.90) with Kellen Moore and Cam Newton leading the way.
Denard has 25 total TDS, 12 Rush and 13 Pass.
James has 18 total TDs, Newton has 34, Moore has 22.
Denard has 7 INTs and may 2-3 lost fumbles? So we'll say 10 TOs
James' TO #s are irrelevant (plus I can't find them), Newton has 5 INTs, and Moore has 4 INTs.
So, after looking at those numbers the question becomes: Why is Denard not a Heisman contender any more?
The Answer: Oregon, Auburn, and Boise are undefeated. Plain and simple. If Michigan only had one loss or less and was in the top 10, I would almost guarantee that DRob would still be in the thick of the Heisman race even if his numbers were exactly the same.
Now a lot of people would say, well its not all about the numbers. There are other factors.
And I would agree with them. BUT this is not Timmy Chang, Colt Brennen, or one of the Texas Tech QBs putting up 6000 yards.
We are talking about a sophomore QB on a Big Ten team! Michigan's schedule is no joke, and declaring Denard to be a "system" QB in the line of those mentioned above doesn't seem to fit. What is the system? Passing? Rushing? Scoring? Denard ranks well in every category.
Its just frustrating to me that the media blew up in epic proportions during the first part of the season over Denard, but now they barely give him a mention. I think they definitely gave him too much pub by declaring him the winner after week 4, but I also think they are giving him too little respect at this point in the season.
Denard has numbers comparable or better than every other top Heisman candidate, and he plays a schedule much more difficult than that of Oregon, Boise, and most other teams outside the SEC.
And last but not least lets not forget that he plays on a team FAR worse than those of James, Newton, or Moore. Its funny that Michigan's record is a big part of the reason he is not under consideration when the fact that Michigan is terrible on defense should be an even bigger credit to his abilities.
Newton, James, and Moore are all on teams surrounded by superstars and playmakers, and while Michigan does have an excellent offense, our team as a whole is not very good.
People should realize once again that the Heisman is about the most outstanding player in college football, regardless of record. I know that strength of schedule has to be considered in making that determination, but having a bad team should not count against you.
I'm not saying that Denard should win the Heisman. I think Newton would have my vote at this point. But Denard would be second or third without a doubt in my mind, and I hope that other people are thinking the same thing. The kid deserves it.
Post Week 10: Yardage Analysis and Predictions + Score Predictor
Week 9 Predictor and analysis can be found here: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/post-week-9-yardage-analysis-and-predictions-...
Well, as I stated from the previous diary, UM needed to have one of their best games defensively and offensively against Illinois to get a win. While UM giving up 45 after regulation, and 65 for the game, looks bad, yardage wise it was just about what I predicted. Illinois gained 486 yards in regulation and I predicted 458 yards for a 5.7% difference. I think a better metric for showing just how well the UM defene played would be yards/possession. You can also look at the fact that UMs defense held Illinois's offense scoreless on 50% of their possessions (8 of 16). UM tackled well and really seemed to play faster. This is great to see out of a young defense.
UMs offense fair exceeded expectations. Even though they put up 67 points on the day, the team missed opportunities early in the game to get a lead and pull away. Turnovers hurt the offense, but the defense picked them up. Yardage wise, this was UM best game of the season. Illinois typically gives up 275 yards of offense to the opponents. UM put up 601 yards in regulation, a 218% mark. That brings UMs offensive efficiency up to 158.21% for the season.
Moving on to Purdue...
This is what UM has done to date...
Offense and Defense rankings (only teams on UMs schedule). The rankings do not include the head-to-head matchup with UM.
Predictions for Purdue game. Include percentage error, high and low.
Percentage Error season calucation
Taking a look at Purdue's yards/point metric, they're the opposite of what you want. Their offense is scoring slowly, and their defense is giving up points quickly; even more quickly than UMs defense. UMs offense is scoring just about as fast as Purdue's defense is giving them up. All this spells a good game for UM. One theme that seems to classify college football this season is emotion and how you respond. South Carolina goes out and beats #1 Alabama and then loses to unranked Kentucky the following week. Missouri beats #1 Oklahoma and then loses back-to-back games to Nebraska and unranked Texas Tech. Now, while the win over Illinois isn't exactly a win over the number one team in the land, it was an emotional victory for UM. And they have to play on the road this weekend with an even bigger game against Wisconsin the week after. Can UM come out focused against Purdue and take care of business? I think so.

TVH Weekly: Visit Reactions, DeAnthony Arnett's Decision
This past weekend's thriller had a few visitors, including instate prospects DeAnthony Arnett and Desmond Morgan. The game wasn't just exciting for the fans but the recruits as well. Reactions and other recruiting news:
Desmond Morgan
6'1", 225 lbs.
Holland, Michigan
This was Morgan's second time attending a Michigan game this season. This one was a little bit different for him since he now has a scholarship offer from Michigan.
I enjoyed every part of the game, it was really exciting. Last time I was there I thought how cool it would be to be noticed by them, or get a chance to play for them. This time I thought that could be me next year, and I have a chance to play on that field. I appreciated that feeling.
Desmond was escorted to the game by his dad, who is also a big Michigan fan. They got to experience some firsts together, and started thinking more seriously about the recruiting scene.
We met Coach Rodriguez and Frey, and that was the first time we've met both of them in person. We got a chance to walk around the locker room, and anytime you get a chance to walk through that tunnel it's pretty special. My dad liked it a lot.
As I reported previously, Morgan wants to take his time with his recruitment. He is a Michigan fan, but doesn't want to rush into anything, but this visit was a step in the right direction for Michigan.
I talked to the coaches about making an official visit. We're going to try to get that set up this week. They mentioned the Big Chill hockey game (Dec. 10th), so that's a possible date. I really had a lot of my questions answered already. The main thing was spending time with the coaches and getting to know them better. I wanted to feel welcomed there, and I really did feel that.
Desmond should have his official set up by this week. He also plans on visiting Northwestern this weekend for the Iowa game. Things are looking good for Michigan, though.
Dallas Crawford
5'10", 185 lbs.
Fort Myers, Florida
Dallas Crawford has been high on Michigan for some time now. I wanted to get some perspective on him from his current head coach on where Michigan stands with both Dallas and his teammate Sammy. Coach Redhead:
Dallas has Michigan as his number one school because of his two visits there and the atmosphere. Sammy still has Michigan in close second to Clemson. It's a little harder for me to get a read on him, but Michigan is close. They're in the hunt for both of them. I don't think it should matter, but I think it might matter how both teams finish for Sammy. [ed: ie, coach doesn't think it should be relevant but it could be anyway.]
Redhead has had some good prospects come through the schools he has coached at, but he has some strong feelings about both Crawford and Watkins.
Dallas is a solid character kid, and one that I never have to worry about. He has some of the best instincts I've ever coached, and that includes the big name kids. Dallas has that football IQ. He knows where to be and when to be there, and he's always in the right spot. Same thing with Sammy. They both just do what they're asked of them.
For any head coach, it's important to be able to trust the coaches recruiting their athletes, and it seems as if Michigan has earned that trust from Coach Redhead.
Greg Frey recruits down here, and I've known him since he was at Florida State. I know he's going to take care of our kids. When we know they're good people and they care about the kids, and not just wins and losses, it makes it easier on us. That's the good thing about the Michigan coaches, they all care about these kids.
Both Dallas and Sammy are focused taking their team deep into the playoffs. They will be scheduling an official visit to Michigan in the near future. Sammy will most likely take an official to Clemson as well.
DeAnthony Arnett
6'0", 170 lbs.
Wide Receiver
Saginaw, Michigan
DeAnthony Arnett was at the Michigan game this past weekend and has put Michigan back on his list. I caught up with his brother Ralph, who let me know about the visit a little while ago, about Arnett's plans for this week.
The visit was nice. We picked the perfect game to come to. We talked with all the coaches, and Coach Singletary. They never stopped recruiting DeAnthony, and he told them that he wanted to see them play before he came for a visit. They had their receivers go off, and it was a great atmosphere.
The visit on the field was great, but what they were shown off the field was possibly just as important.
As far as the visit, it was outstanding. DeAnthony got one on one time with the academic advisors. They stress time management on the kids, and a lot of schools don't talk about that. It can get overwhelming, and they said they don't let the freshman fall behind, and they pay close attention to them. That was great.
Arnett has already been out to USC, Cal, and Tennessee. He obviously has had plenty of exposure to both Michigan and Michigan State. His brother let me know what the plans are from here.
DeAnthony will be announcing his decision this Wednesday at 9 AM at Saginaw High. He will be calling the coaches on Tuesday to tell them what he's decided to do. We'll go over his notes and see what he wants to do from there.
The family has kept everything close to the vest, but Michigan does have a chance. We'll all know Wednesday.
Also, here's film from four of DeAnthony's games this year.
- Four star Maryland defensive back Blake Countess was offered this past week. Look for Michigan to shoot up his list, potentially as his favorite. This could be a big pickup for Michigan if it works out.
- DC running back Malcolm Crockett is still on his official visit. I will hopefully have an update with him once he's back home.
- The Demetrius Hart scare has been resolved, and ended up just having to do with his high school, and early enrollment problems.
- Rich Rodriguez said at his press conference today that Craig Roh will most likely stay on the defensive line. Probably mostly due to this.
Turnovers & Special Teams–Updated Thru Illinois
Synopsis for Turnovers: Apparently, after figuring out every possible way to lose football games over the past 3 years, Meeechigan figured out how to win a game that there was absolutely no way we should have won with this many TOs. M turned in a –4TOM (!!) leaving us at –7 TOM for the year and ranked #Gawd Awful (uh, #108). And yet, we won. As Les Berman says, "That's Why They Play the Games!"
Illinois had 17 possessions in regulation! The defense forced 6 punts, 1 missed FG, and 3 made FG. Michigan only punted the ball twice, failed on one 4th down attempt, made 1 of 2 FG, but gave the ball away 5 times (ILL gave it back to us once). Other than that, both teams pretty much scored TDs at will
You know how the ladies love to say that men can never admit we are wrong? Well, I was absolutely, positively, 1 Bazillion % Fracking WRONG!! I said there was no way for us to win this game without +2 TOM. I was totally Wrong!
To finish out the year, M needs to get some takeaways. Turnovers lost is about average (nothing to get excited about but not horrible either). Michigan is just not forcing any TOs and the Ints are now few and far between. There is nothing more to say. Enjoy the stats.
BTW, blocked punts, blocked field goals, on-side kick recovered by the opposing team, roughing the kicker penalties, etc. are not considered to be "official" turnovers but have the same effect. I will continue to track these also.
Synopsis for Special Teams: We punted twice and made one FG in 2 attempts. Net punting was hurt by the rugby punt that bounced right to the Illini and was returned 21 yards.
National Rankings:
Details for Turnovers: Here is the Summary by Game. According to the folks at Football Outsiders a first down TO is worth 5 points, second down TO is worth 4.5 points, and a third down TO is worth 4.0 points (regardless of field position!).
The extrapolation is a straight line [Totals] X [13 Total Games / Games Played]. AQ Best and AQ average is over the past 10 years. AQ Best is kind of funky because the team with the "best" in each category is different so the numbers don't add. But, it does provide a point of reference.
Here is the detail of each fumble/interception and a comment providing insight if the turnover (or lack thereof) was significant. Note, blocked punts are not considered a turnover and an interception of an extra point is not considered a turnover (player does not get credit for a interception).
Here is the overall summary by player (data in yellow was affected by this week's game).
Details for Special Teams: Here are the Punting and Kickoff statistics. (Touchbacks are included as –20 yards when determining net yards.)
Remember here are the correlations of TOM to WLM at season's end.
Illinois Recap: I was there when…
What a first game at Michigan Stadium! A big thanks to Jamie Mac for the invitation to tailgate, it was great to meet up with a few MGoBloggers before the game. For your generosity I won't gloat about being right about the PSU/NW game.
The Numbers
Michigan Rush: +12
Michigan Pass: +21
Illinois Rush: +13
Illinois Pass: +6
Illinois had a huge field position advantage on the day. Not counting the OT drives, Illinois' field position would have yielded an average team against an average defense 40 points. Michigan allowed 45. Considering the low bar set by this unit, it was a heck of a job giving the offense a chance to win. The offense was only "expected" to score 28 based on field position. The turnovers and special teams put Michigan at a distinct disadvantage but the defense held enough in regulation to give the offense a chance and then came through with the one stop they needed at the end.
Player results-rushing:
Denard had his worst rushing game of the season going –1 on the ground (with Illinois's good rush d it will be positive after the opponent adjustment)
Vincent Smith +2
Michael Shaw +6, that's what happens when a third of your carries are touchdowns
Hopkins: +3
Forcier: +1
For Illinois, Scheelhaasse, Leshoure and Ford were all +5
Robinson: +15
Forcier: +6
Stonum: +6
Hemingway: +15
Roundtree: +20
A lot of big numbers all around. Michigan's total offensive game was the second best opponent adjusted offensive performance for the entire season.
Season Projections
Seven is still the most likely outcome but with the win on Saturday the prospects have improved from 6-7 to 7-8.
Win odds:
@ Purdue: 65%
Wisconsin: 51%
@ Ohio St: 15%
Continuing with last week's method of ranking by losses first, then season PAN, then any adjustment for head to head games.
|Boise St
|Oklahoma St
|Michigan St
|Ohio St
|Virginia Tech
|Mississippi St
|Texas A&M
|S Carolina
Oregon continues to be rated lower by my numbers due mostly to the cat and mouse nature of a lot of their games. I don't count plays after the spread is larger than 2 TD's in the second half and Oregon has played several games, like last weekend vs Washington, where the game has stayed closer than it should into the second half and the blows the door off to close out the game.
Other teams that seem out of place are Nevada which is only ranked highly because of my methodology. They are 50th in the country in PAN behind Michigan at #46.
2010 Schedule Wallpaper - I Think We Can! I Think We Can! - Game 10 Purdue
Update: User philbuster asked me if the title of this week's wallpaper was a reference to Greg Robinson's last press conference as head coach at Syracuse. The reference was purely accidental. I had completely forgotten about that press conference, but take a look at the video clip starting at about the 0:50 mark; funny coincidence. Or is it? (It is.)
According to the official Purdue Athletics web site, "Over the years, Purdue teams had been called grangers, pumpkin-shuckers, railsplitters, cornfield sailors, blacksmiths, foundry hands and, finally, boilermakers. That last one stuck." I'm more than just a little broken up that history stole from me the opportunity to design a "pumpkin-shuckers" wallpaper. Sigh. Instead, a replica of a Victorian-era locomotive became the official mascot of the Boilermakers in 1930 "to exemplify the engineering and agrarian heritage of Purdue." Because nothing says "intimidation" like agrarian symbolism.
For the last two seasons Michigan fans have seen "easy wins" against Purdue devolve into soul-crushing defeats. As I anticipate next weekend's contest, I see in my mind's eye a damsel draped in maize, tied to train tracks, terror in her eyes. A whistle echoes from the depths of a tunnel. The tracks rumble. A small light flashes in the darkness. The damsel turns away and closes her eyes. Where is her hero? Has she no defender? No, like our 2010 team, she is defenseless. What will emerge from the tunnel? Will it be a full-size freight train that rips her into a thousand pieces, or a miniature model train that bounces harmlessly off her rope-bound body?
The image below is a preview only. You can get this week's widescreen, 4:3, iPad and mobile wallpapers at The Art. The Art. The Art!.
How it was Made
I used screen capture software to record the creation of this week's wallpaper artwork and sped up the footage to condense 4 hours of design time into just over 4 minutes of video. If you like watching paint dry, or if you want to see the Photoshop equivalent of Bob Ross ruining a perfectly good painting with a giant foreground tree, then this video is for you.

March battalion
|This article does not cite any sources. (March 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A march battalion (French: Bataillon de Marche, Polish: Batalion marszowy, German: Marschbatallion, Italian: Battaglione di marcia) is a battalion-sized military unit formed of all the rear-echelon units of an infantry regiment. It usually includes all the tabors, field kitchen staff, reserve soldiers, military police, commander's reserves, guards, aides, and raw recruits who did not arrive at the mobilization centre before the unit to which they were attached left for the front.
Alternatively, the name can be used for all provisional units made up of companies from various battalions for the purpose of giving them a command structure during their march.
The name is derived from the fact that such battalions are usually left in the barracks after the regiment has left for the front, and spend some time there to gather all the late-comers and volunteers. Then the unit follows the main force of the regiment, usually by fast, forced march.
March battalions were used extensively by many European armies of the 19th and 20th century, most notably British, Polish, German, Austro-Hungarian and French. The nature of modern conflicts, the change from conscript to professional armies, as well as innovations in the field of logistics, make the march battalion seemingly mostly obsolete[citation needed].

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a reason why the bottle is blue?
As a matter of fact there are not one but two reasons for the cobalt blue color of our dropper bottle. Most importantly this color affords the best protection against light intrusion. In that case you might wonder why not simply use an opaque bottle or a pump style container? The problem with using this approach is that you would not be able to see the content level of the serum, something our customers value. The other reason is we think the cobalt blue color is really beautiful.
Some of the Vita C serums claim to get rid of brown spots. Does this one?
Some users have found that the appearance of brown spots is reduced by the skin lightening effects of vitamin c and MSM which helps to even out skin tone. However, that is not the primary action of sérumtologié C serum º22 and if that is the primary benefit you're seeking there are better alternatives. We would recommend using a product with hydroquinone, the only FDA-approved ingredient for lightening skin pigment. We do not offer one but you might want to try La Roche-Posay Mela-D Skin Lightening Daily Lotion, which is very good and has 2-percent hydroquinone content.
How does your product compare to Skinceutical DEF?
I am a long term user of C E Ferulic from Skinceuticals. It really set the standard for vitamin C serums. While Skinceuticals has a great line, I founded sérumtologié to offer products that offered comparable luxury and clinically proven ingredients but without the often shockingly high price tag. Our C serum º22 has 47% more vitamin c and is in a form that does not cause skin irritation. It also has twice as much ferulic acid and is 1/5th the price. I would be honored if you would give our product a try. Vanessa Powers, Co-founder-sérumtologié.

Social Media Scheduling Tools for Authors by @K8Tilton
By Rachel Thompson
Please welcome virtual assistant extraordinaire Kate Tilton, who is a staff writer for BadRedheadMedia.com and helps author Rachel Thompson from falling down the rabbit hole every day. Pay attention — Kate knows what she's doing!
Ever feel like there is no way you can manage all your social media accounts, let alone post regularly to each? Ever wonder how some authors seem to be on social media ALL the time? Introducing social media scheduling tools, your key to managing your accounts and building your following.
Formed in 2010, Buffer is the scheduling tool of my choice. Ever since I found Buffer (after first mindlessly tweeting random things when I could, and then using Hootsuite) I have been a loud Buffer fan. Seriously, their logo sticker is on my computer as I'm typing this now! So why am I such a Buffer fan? Well let's look at the pros and cons of the tool.
- Automatic scheduling. With Buffer you create one schedule (or multiple schedules if you'd like) and with each post you add to your queue it automatically gets scheduled for the next available time slot on your schedule. Instead of other platforms where you have to add in the time for each post you do, this removes that need while still offering that feature if you need it.
- Easily click and drag tweets/posts from one profile to another (no need to copy and paste).
- Add RSS feeds from your favorite blogs to easily add content to your queue. All it takes is a click!
- New suggested content feature gives you access to easy to add content in marketing, inspiration, business/startups, lifehacking, design, and Buffer's personal picks.
- Get access to easy to understand analytics that show for Twitter: the number of mentions, retweets, favorites and clicks of each tweet; and for Facebook: the number of likes, comments, reach, clicks, and shares of each post; and for Google+: the number of comments, clicks, reshares, and +1s.
- The free plan limits the amount of posts you can have in your queue to ten for each account, which may be enough for someone just starting out but not enough once things get rolling. (With the Awesome plan this limit is raised to 200.)
- The free plan also limits you to one account for each account type, for example you can only have one Twitter profile added on the free plan. This may work for authors just starting out but if you run a business you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to be able to add more accounts.
- Free ($0)
- Awesome ($10 per month or $102 per year)
- Business (Small: $50, Medium: $100, Large: $250. All per month)
Hootsuite is Rachel's tool of choice and has been in business since 2008. With more than 10 million users around the world let's check out the pros and cons of this tool.
- Hootsuite is a trusted tool that has been used for years by professionals like Rachel Thompson.
- Hootsuite streams are columns within your Hootsuite dashboard that you can use to view mentions, private messages, hashtags, and more. This feature is similar to TweetDeck.
- Hootsuite's free option gives you unlimited scheduling power, but you must schedule one post at a time.
- New suggested content is searchable, letting you easily find content to share that is relevant to your interests.
- App integrations allow you to monitor Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and other social networks for a small monthly fee.
- Hootsuite's free option only lets you connect with three social networks. (Pro increases to 50, Enterprise for unlimited.)
- Hootsuite's free option does not have access to the auto scheduler, meaning for each tweet/post you must select the date and time for that tweet/post to go out.
- More expensive than other options.

Also launched in 2008, Klout is a popular platform for many to view their social media influence while possibly gaining some perks for the work they do online. (For example, I've gotten everything from books to Chex Mix on Klout.) But Klout also has a new tool that lets you schedule tweets and Facebook posts. Check out the pros and cons to see if this is a tool for you.
- Klout gives users follow suggestions based on your topics of interest and suggests you follow three people a day which is a powerful way to grow your social influence.
- Klout offers impressive content suggestions based on a wide variety of subjects. If you struggle to find content, Klout is for you.
- Klout suggests three times for each day that are optimal for reaching your audience. Like Buffer all you have to do is click and your tweet/post will be added to the next time slot (Klout also offers the ability to set a custom time).
- Klout offers a powerful summary of your online presence that you can also use to get Klout perks.
- Free!
- Content suggestions are limited to only articles at this point and while sharing articles is good it should not be the only thing you share.
- Currently only lets you schedule for Facebook and Twitter (leaving out important platforms like Google+ and LinkedIn).
- Klout only lets you connect one Twitter account and only one Facebook account.
- Free ($0)
No matter what tool you pick, using a social media scheduling tool to schedule your post in addition to some live content will increase your clout online.

Women living with HIV have been having babies since the dawn of the epidemic. Our knowledge of how to have a healthy pregnancy while HIV positive has increased radically since then; but even for today's HIV-positive moms-to-be, there's still not nearly enough information out there about what to expect when you're expecting. We asked a bunch of moms who've been there: What do you know now about having a baby while HIV positive that you wish you'd known at the time you were pregnant?

People often ask - Disneyland Blue Bayou Gumbo recipe 10 points please help!?The answer is- A while back in August I went to Disneyland. I had lunch at the Blue Bayou. I fell in love with the Gumbo there. The best food ever! I was wondering if you had the recipe for the Gumbo. I know you can get it at city hall in disneyland but i won't be going back for a while.PLEASE HELP.10 points best answer.thanks in advance =]p.s. i know this is in the wrong section, i just posted the question 3 times in different sections, to try to get more results.

Now, its time to remember that 2012 will be indeed the WDS 10th anniversary but also the 20th anniversary of the Disneyland Park. The WDS will have a major attraction with Ratatouille, but what can we expect in the first park? Certainly not another big E-Ticket like the Little Mermaid as the park cant afford two 150 M attractions. Of course they can create new shows or parades but its hard to imagine a Magic Kingdom 20th anniversary with no attraction at all. Nothing of course is announced yet so what will follow is pure personal prospective, but may be Star Tours 2 could be a good candidate for Disneyland Park 20th anniversary attraction. The cost will be probably affordable - not cheap, but certainly under 100 M - and in 2012 the new Star Wars live TV series will be aired on TV channels all over Europe which could be perfect on a marketing point of view. So, for now, i will put my bets on this one and we will see what the future will bring!
Many people are interested : To people who are fans of disney movies do you think there will be another disney reniassance like the 90's?Here is the answer- If you guys don't know what i mean by disney reniassance it was a period through out the 90's decade in which disney movies were commerical success and hit box offices worldwide.the Walt Disney Animation Studios returned to making successful animated films mostly based on fairy tales, recreating a public and critical interest in the Disney studio.

Reasonable prices and nice food. You could do a lot worse. Nicely positioned on the beachfront. Good service however it wasn't busy. Went buy later at dinner time and it was much busier.
Had red curry with duck and lycees which was very nice. Busy evening but service was good. Very noisy due to the number of people dining there
Very good food and selection with some scandanavian dishes. We particulary liked the special seafood appetizer (cant remember name). Well located in middle of the action.
Everything I ordered turned out to be great. The shrimp dishes are probably the best. Crab was well cooked too. The main course, curry and rice, was too good. Highly recommended.
The food here was actually quite good, but the price of the dishes are 30% higher than comparable restaurants in the same street. We arrive an it took the waiter 20 minutes to give us the menus and then another 20 min to take our orders and we had to ask 3 times for the check in order to have...
Too overpriced for this quality and service. Find some other place to eat. Tom yum had some unfresh fish
One of my mates go to places and only had quick lunch but food really nice staff polite great views and top restaurant
The food was really nice, the presentation was good and the staff were friendly. It was more upscale than others, but affordable.
Whilst staying at Centara Grand, we travelled on several occasions into Ao Nang and found this restaurant at the centre of everything that was happening, With live music at its 'sister' bar across from the tables it made a great spot to dine. In fact we went back several times rather than seek other places as the service and food...
We enjoyed 4 lovely meals at this restaurant whilst listening to a fantastic group called Africa Live. Each time the food was exceptional, as was the service. On the second visit it was our son's birthday and I mentioned that our hotel had forgotten to provide a cake. 15 minutes later the staff arrived with cake and a candle and...

This aim focuses on determinants of dose-response at a single-cell level. We will test the hypothesis that non-genetic cell-to-cell variability (arising from variation in the relative levels or activities of network components) is critical in determining the shape of dose-response curves and the maximum therapeutic effect that can be achieved at high drug concentrations. The impact of stochastic variation will be contrasted with that of cell cycle state and of special lineages (e.g. tumor stem cells). Experiments in this Aim also examine the importance of timing and order-of-exposure in combination cancer therapy. All but aim 1.4 will be performed using panels of ~10-40 cancer cell lines grown in 2D culture supplemented by a smaller number of patient- derived cultures obtained through the Translational Pharmacology Core (Aim 5). The influence of the tumor microenvironment on dose-response will be examined based on progress with Aim 3.4. Studies in Aim 1 are distinguished from those in Aim 2 by their focus on phenotypes as opposed to modeling intracellular signaling.
Aim 1. 1 will focus on genetically diverse panels of cancer cell lines and their responses to anti-cancer drugs, primarily investigational and approved kinase inhibitors.
Aim 1. 1.1 will use fixed cell microscopy to discriminate among drug response phenotypes at a single-cell level using molecular markers of cell division, induction of senescence and apoptosis (and other forms of cell death such as autophagy). Variation in response with time after drug addition, physiological state and genotype will be studied across cell types and within single cells in a genetically homogenous population.
Aim 1. 1.2. will wills use mutational information (MI) and other methods to associate dose response parameters from Aims 1.1.1-1.1.2 with features of the drug, target of cell type.
Aim 1. 1.3 will supplement fixed-cell analysis with live-cell imaging of selected drug-cell line combinations to determine how response evolves over time and distinguish among phenotypes that appear similar by endpoint assays.
Aim 1. 1.4 will extend these studies to patient-derived lines and cultures with the goal of increasing the relevance of our findings to human disease.
Aim 1. 2 will determine the role of cell-to-cell heterogeneity on fractional response and dose-response curves that are unusually shallow. Mutual information analysis of panels of related kinase inhibitors will reveal whether submaximal and shallow dose-response associates with drug, target or phenotype.
Aim 1. 3 examines the role of time in pharmacology.
Aim 1. 3.1 investigates the phenomenon of sequential drug synergy involving EGFR inhibitors and DNA damaging agents.
Aim 1. 3.2 investigates transient drug resistance induced by paradoxical responses to compounds that are thought to be pro-apoptotic.
Aim 1. 4 extends the analysis to a different therapeutic area, the response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to antibiotics;these studies follow up recent data showing that asymmetric division by Mtb results in a cell-to-cell heterogeneity that impacts drug response.

Theme 7 Intellectual Property and Economic Development WIPO UNITO-LLM ITC-ILO Geneva October 23, 2014 Julio Raffo Economics & Statistics Division (WIPO-ESD)
Outline Highlights of global IP trend IP and economic development Economics of IP Q&A session
More and more patent applications every year Trend in Patent applications, (source WIPO statistics database)
Not only patents: Trademarks x4 in 25 years! Trend in Trademark applications, (source WIPO statistics database)
…and Industrial Designs x7! Trend in Industrial Design applications, (source WIPO statistics database)
Higher concentration in few patent offices
Few countries originate most patent filings Main origins of PCT applications (2013) (source WIPO statistics database)
More on origin concentration
Increasing IP use translates into… Economic growth? Innovation? Creative outputs? Start-ups? Investments? Competition? Trade? Productivity? Technology transfer Licensing? Development?
IP, Growth & Development: Theory Basic economic incentive for IP protection should work everywhere … but initial conditions across countries vary Study of economic growth process suggests that technological innovation is key for long-term growth… + by fostering innovation and technology transfer, IP protection can stimulate economic growth – reduces imitation, increasing the catching-up cost
Strength of IPR and income levels for 177 countries, 2005 Source: Park index and World Bank
What are we missing in the picture? 1. What is the causality? IP generates economic growth, or … later development stages require "more" IP? 2. Can the same policy work in different countries? Legal, economic and political framework Innovation ecosystem 3. Can we isolate the impact of IP on growth rate? National endowment of resources Quality of infrastructure Macroeconomic stability Business and investment climate Investments in education and health Openness to trade and foreign investment
Going back to the economic basics IP is "simply" an economic policy instrument: What is its objective? Address problems arising from market failures… by providing the right incentives Is it neutral? Who wins and who loses? Who pays the bill?
Market failure #1 Information (and knowledge) good have traits of public good: Non-rivalry Non-excludability, to a certain extent Producing knowledge is costly Increasing returns to production Difficult to appropriate returns Uncertainty
Market failure #2 Markets may fail if there is asymmetric information between buyers and sellers of goods E.g.: markets for used cars or insurance Superior quality may give incentives to invest in reputation …if it reassures consumers that they purchase what they intend to purchase
IP instruments Stimulate innovative and creative activities Patents, utility models, copyrights, industrial design, plant breeders' rights Alternatives: trade secrets, R&D subsidies, tax exemptions or prizes Address asymmetry of information issue Trademark, geographical indication, collective marks Alternatives: consumer protection, sanitary controls, product customization
IP Trade-off Advantages Market selection i.e. consumers pay not tax-payers Minimizes welfare distortion i.e. only market success Disadvantages Monopoly creation Bias against basic research i.e. only market oriented 18
Summarizing Use of IP protection is on the rise Increasing use of IP protection Broader geographical use of IP protection Link between IP protection and economic development Impact varies according to countries' innovative and absorptive capacities Increasing use of IP affects certain aspects of economic activities But these are not neutral

What a classy piece of audio equipment. Iv'e had more than one person ask, where did you find it. When they've heard it and i tell the price the look's always the same followed by a write down of the product ID number. I couldn't be more happy with the price and especially the audio, it's one of the best i have ever purchased.

Erin McKeown
US: 15 Jan 2013
UK: 14 Jan 2013
It's hard to figure how pop music could get much more varied and intriguing than the work being done by American women these days. The soul and bubble-gum divas who rule the airwaves have perfected a certain kind of riveting, ear-worm immediacy, country singers like Shelby Lynne are telling incredible stories, and the more "artsy" singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple made 2012 a banner year for super-smart and self-conscious music that jams together traditions from Joni Mitchell to Radiohead in incredible ways.
Manifestra is the latest album in the latter tradition—a brilliant and imaginative album from Erin McKeown that won't produce any hits but that gives you faith in how pop music can be both high art and great fun at the same time.
McKeown is a young-ish singer-songwriter who got her start as a kind of offbeat folkie, but she's made a point of becoming uncategorizable in the last eight years. Her early releases (Monday Morning Cold from 1999, Distillation from 2000, and Grand from 2003) shifted across an interesting terrain—from some stuff that sounded like it was from a Slam Poetess With An Acoustic Guitar to some jokey material that traded on older styles of music to carefully crafted material that told interesting stories. She might have seemed like a more soft-edged Ani DiFranco or an updated version of Suzanne Vega. McKeown's penchant for morphing from track to track was notable, even if her gauzy, conversational voice tied it all back to a single persona.
With 2007's We Will Become Like Birds, however, McKeown seemed to fulfill her promise. Birds was a full-hearted album of smart pop music, a complete album with a clear voice that carried over from track to track. The arrangements were vibrant and rich, and the songs were smart, mature, and emotional. And Manifestra is very much in that musical vein. McKeown's last two albums were more curiosities, perhaps. Sing You Sinners featured some fairly clunky transformations of jazz standards, and 2009's Hundreds of Lions was a genre-hopping exercise. 2013 finds McKeown playing music that sounds current and strong once again: less whimsical and much more gripping.
Manifestra is, however, more political and serious than her prior albums. Released on her own label and funded by fans via the Internet, the new record is rich in a new way. It clatters with real concerns and with less cuteness. It makes sense that it features plenty of hip percussion because it is a record that comes at you with urgency. There is very little sense that McKeown is role-playing here. She comes at you direct. The opener, "The Politician", speaks in the voice of its subject, but it's a sardonic indictment built on a strong, syncopated backbeat and a set of beefy guitar parts and gutbucket horns.
"In God We Trust" leans on percussion as well, the kind of clattering percussion heard in hip-hop, intersecting streams of different patterns with burbling electronic keyboard sounds acting as percussion as well, then throbbing rock guitar that busts the song out into its jubilant bridge, which quotes "America, the Beautiful" is a canny way.
"Histories" also sets McKeown's lyrics atop a percussive bed, with drums and handclaps swirling with strings and electric guitar. The words and singing are still poetic in way that the artist's earlier "folkie" work may have been, but the urgency of the groove takes a whole lot of the "fey" out McKeown's work. "The Jailer" thrives on a soul lick for guitar and horns over another strong (electronic?) drum groove. The lyrics are at least indirectly about capital punishment, about the culture of a country that has the state put people to death, and KcKeown's personal activism comes through not only in the words but in how the music lurches at the ear.
The political McKeown is certainly on display in "Baghdad to the Bayou", with lyrics co-written with TV opinionater and journalist Rachel Maddow. Needless to say, this tune gets a treatment laced with the funky push-pull of New Orleans music. But the sweet fun of that loose sound is contrasted with the sour bite of a cynical story about oil companies and profits and war and the need to "watch the watcher". But if every songwriter who chose to get preachy political dipped her argument in this kind of greasy goodtime music, protest music would have a much groovier reputation.
Even a "prettier" song like "Proof" has an admirable directness on this recording—the pulsing brushes against a snare drum and a guitar that is throbbing under McKeown's fuzzy-pleasant voice. Strings come in on this tune (and elsewhere), but they bring body rather than sweetener; they thicken the sound rather than smooth it out. The lyrical side of McKeown surfaces elsewhere too. But the love song "Instant Classic" (a duet with Ryan Montbleau) is sweet but also set on a swinging little groove (buffeted by baritone sax licks) that is not merely pretty.
The best thing about listening to Manifestra, then, is not the great variety of Eric McKeown's talents but rather the focus she brings to this particular album. This is an urgent recording, not a pop classic like We Will Become Like Birds, but a rhythmically vital message that uses a smaller set of sounds to create a gripping band sound to support an interesting and worthy point of view. It's fun and thrilling to listen to even if you don't focus on the words. But if you do dig the lyrics (and you should), the music becomes a contrast and a complement, a lens for hearing things even better. Rather than putting on different musical costumes here, Erin McKeown has mainly chosen to play one solid role.
And it's a winning role. You won't be able to keep your ears off her this time out.

abstract = {{Multi-Modal Optimization (MMO) is ubiquitous in engineer- ing, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. Many algo- rithms have been proposed for multimodal optimization, and many of them are based on restart strategies. However, only few works address the issue of initialization in restarts. Furthermore, very few comparisons have been done, between different MMO algorithms, and against simple baseline methods. This paper proposes an analysis of restart strategies, and provides a restart strategy for any local search algorithm for which theoretical guarantees are derived. This restart strategy is to decrease some 'step-size', rather than to increase the population size, and it uses quasi-random initialization, that leads to a rigorous proof of improve- ment with respect to random restarts or restarts with constant initial step-size. Furthermore, when this strategy encapsulates a (1+1)-ES with 1/5th adaptation rule, the resulting algorithm outperforms state of the art MMO algorithms while being computationally faster.}},

Sending off a batsman after he's dismissed is cowardice - Dravid

Rajasthan Royals captain Rahul Dravid talks to the media after his team lost in Mumbai

Every player has a right to his opinion and i support dravids'...with that said, shane watson is the original culprit here. He luvs giving batsmen send off when he gets them out, he did it to chirs gayle in a test match in Australia a couple years ago, he did it all through the T20 world cup, and he was even doing it this match.... At the end of the day he got a taste of his own medicine.... But dravid didnt call names did he, who knows he might be referring to watson as well...
Dravid clearly mentioned if a batsman get out and is off d field so calling Pollard Coward is True. Sayin somethin in the field is part and parcel of the game thats too is true.. those who feels Dravid is wrong plse listen it again..
Seems Mr. Dravid is very emotional for Watson and is ready to fight for him whether on the field with Bisla and Gauti or off the field calling Pollard Coward. Real Gentleman of Indian cricket.
To all that say Dravid didn't see Watto's send off to Maxwell or any other, note that Dravid, in his response, doesn't single out Pollard's response alone. He says, in general, it's an act of cowardice. He probably is referring to Watto's reaction as well.
to be fair... he didnt name any player...so the "act of cowardice" comment applies to watson as much as it applies to pollard or anyone for that matter. secondly, the smart guy that he is, he made it amply clear that it's his PERSONAL opinion.
You reap what you sow. What Watto did to Maxwell was returned to him in the same coin. I feel it is time we start using Yellow and Red CARDS for Cricket matches too. There should be some limit even for sledging. Kashinath
To be fair Watson has got the taste of his medicine. I don't see anything wrong that happened to him. We can blame Pollard if he had done the same to other player. After that incident Watson might have known what do other players feel when he behaved wildly on the field. It is too much to call that an act of cowardice and that too by a person of Dravid's stature
With due respect to Dravid, he should even check on what Watson did when Glenn Maxwell was given out LBW. Donno what he was thinking but seems like he lost his cool even at the press conference.
Dravid said only sledging even after a batsman is out of the field is cowardice not when he is in the field. if the batsman in the field it may be considered as mind game. but after that its just a stupidity of player . thats it.
always respected dravid and to some extent I agree with his point. but did he not see the send off watson gave to maxwell?? if you watch the highlights, its clear for all to see

MANY football fans are already fearful of Chelsea's growing domination, so Roman Abramovich's proclamation yesterday that he is building a club to last for 100 years will have sent a cold chill down many spines.
Words from the publicity-shy Chelsea owner are as rare as billionaires from Volga, his birthplace in southern Russian, so rivals would do well to take him seriously. In the foreword to a new book celebrating their centenary, Chelsea FC: The Official Biography, Abramovich has broken his silence to spell out his plans for a club he has transformed beyond all recognition, stating his ambition to

We painfully weather the passing of a beloved pet or animal companion, and the grim task of disposing of the remains makes the ordeal even more unpleasant. Grief has to be interrupted for mundane concerns of a nature very few of us plan for ahead of time. A gone-to-Glory goldfish can be flushed, but what about a dead cat? And what if the problem is larger; say, an elephant or the carcass of a rotting whale?
These stories are about attempts — both successful and otherwise — to be rid of the corpse of a deceased animal. Perhaps the humor found in them reflects our unease at the thought of having to deal with anything dead.
The Oregon Department of Transportation blew up a dead whale.
