Nik Stauskas May Or May Not Enter Draft
this person is eligible to be drafted we know nothing else [Bryan Fuller]
Michigan sophomore Nik Stauskas is headed to the NBA, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com on Thursday.
Well dangit
Mississauga, ON's Nik Stauskas will enter the 2014 NBA draft and choose Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports to represent him reliable sources have told Hoops Hype Canada.
Dangit again
Just wanted to reiterate that any reports about my future intenions are FALSE! I have NOT made ANY decisions on my future yet!
— Nik Stauskas (@NStauskas11) April 10, 2014
U-M hoops fans getting their hopes up … I wouldn't. That's not inside info. Just everyone thinks Nik will go. Nothing has really changed.
— Michael Spath (@Spath_Wolverine) April 10, 2014
Actually that seems like a bad idea
Well this was pointless
Can we at least get some recriminations
For whatever reason, BS sourcing standards that would never fly for regular stories are commonplace for sports. "Sources say?" Come on.

Unverified Voracity Reflects
Dustin Johnston/UMHoops
Rounding up the exit. Further takes on the end of Michigan's season come from Genuinely Sarcastic:
In three of the last four seasons, Michigan's season has come down to one final shot in the dying moments. That's actually pretty astonishing when you think about it. All the chaos and moving parts of a basketball game, boiling down to one shot on three separate occasions in three separate games. All three involved different circumstances, and a Michigan program at different stages of its evolution.
Sometimes you don't appreciate you have until it's gone. Which is why I am thankful we were able to send off Jordan Morgan on a high note. Morgan is exactly what we want our players to be, tenacious, hard-working, always working to be better, and, oh yeah, a pretty damn good student to boot. To see all of the #ThanksJMo tweets after the game is to know that we didn't lose sight of what was going to end when Stauskas's last shot fell short. We know we're probably also losing some other players, and we'll deal with that when the time comes, but for now, we appreciate what we had, because it was fun. It was just fun.
INDIANAPOLIS — Moments after the game, the sun is low in the sky and Lucas Oil Stadium casts a long shadow across Indianapolis as, inside, Michigan walks off the court for the last time together. Jordan Morgan is first, well before anyone else. Glenn Robinson III gives a quick wave to the crowd and puts his head down. Nik Stauskas is emotionless. Mitch McGary, who was never getting into the game, walks off wearing the uniform his teammates have insisted he wear.
Later, Morgan, held up by his press conference, is one of the last to enter the Michigan locker room. Most of the room is composed except for Zak Irvin, who is emotional in one corner of the room, and for Morgan. He wipes his face with his sleeve and cries in front of the television cameras.
His teammates have said the loss is all the more difficult because it means they'll never play another game with Morgan. The senior doesn't know how to respond.
He pauses to wipe his eyes.
"I didn't expect it to be my last game," Morgan says.
"It's over. I don't know what else to say."
And Nick Baumgardner:
But while every team in this NCAA tournament, save for one, ends its season with a loss, they don't all end their season without regret.
This Michigan team earned the right to live -- forever -- with a clear conscience.
"You can be mad if you want," Michigan's Jon Horford said. "But if you make guys hit tough shots they don't normally hit.
"Then you shake their hand."
[Bryan Fuller]
Draft stuff. NBA draft types seem to be in consensus about Michigan's three early entry candidates: Stauskas is out the door, but the other two should return. "Should" and "will" are two very different things, of course. Also, when NBA draft types talk about these things they talk about them from the perspective of the NBA, not the player.
Disclaimers aside, NBA type on Robinson:
Projecting where Robinson could be selected in this year's NBA draft is difficult. His potential is boundless, but his play has been erratic. The scout described his prospective draft position as "all over the board for some people."
He concluded saying Robinson should return to Ann Arbor to "develop some consistency in his game."
A guy the BTN talked to:
Glenn Robinson III
Why he should stay: Should finally emerge as Michigan's star player. Showed flashes of what people expected as a sophomore, but not consistently. Should look better with Walton having a year under his belt as point guard.
Why he should leave: Teams still like his skill and athleticism. Could flourish enough in workout situations to alleviate NBA concerns.
Prediction: Stays
As I mentioned in the post a couple days ago, Robinson's clear frustration at being forced to play the 4 is something that will weigh on him. This makes Mark Donnal the most important guy on the team from GRIII's perspective. If Mitch returns Donnal is free to play the 4 for basically all of his minutes, and if he's a 25 minute or 30 minute guy that means Robinson's spending almost all of his time on the wing.
As for Mitch, there is almost universal agreement that it would be hard to take the guy in the first round with the questions about his back and relatively thin resume. McGary would have to be confident in his ability to go full McGary in draft camps this month if he was going to make a leap. Anonymous NBA guy:
If he chooses to declare for the draft, McGary's health will be "picked apart in this process" due to an injury classified only as a lower-back condition, according to the scout.
It's clear both Robinson and McGary entered the year planning that this would be their last at Michigan, and that momentum will make deciding to stay more difficult than it otherwise even if it seems like the best idea to return for both.
These days there is no withdrawal, so the dates that matter are April 16th, when the Portsmouth Invitational starts and the 27th, which is the last day to declare. GRIII and McGary will almost certainly decide by the 16th, as Portsmouth is where a lot of first or second round decisions get hashed out.
Also in draft stuff. I'm not sure if this draft blogger the BTN talked to has anything solid or if he's just guessing based on the fact that everyone flees West Lafayette, but here's the hypothetical death knell for Matt Painter's career:
A.J. Hammons
Why he should stay: Showed very little improvement in many ways from freshman to sophomore year. A dominant junior year could make him a first-round pick.
Why he should leave: Skilled big men and shot-blockers are always in demand at the NBA level and Hammons' development may have stalled at Purdue.
Prediction: Enters Draft
Tom Dienhart also predicted a Hammons departure, FWIW. I know Hammons is a frustrating dude but he's all Purdue has right now.
Other decisions the Big Ten is waiting on include Sam Dekker and (now) Frank Kaminsky at Wisconsin plus Gary Harris and Branden Dawson at MSU. Gary Parrish reported that barring a 180 in the next couple days, Harris is out the door. Dawson is a bit of a surprising name, but he's got financial issues and pretty much is what he is at this point: a 20-minutes-a-game defensive specialist.
MSU is also offering firm handshakes to potential fifth-year players Alex Guana and Russell Byrd. The latter is a little sad, since he had the highest ratio of bark to bite in the Big Ten. From the spectator's position, it's always tough to lose a guy like that.
Freshman talk. Via MGoVideo:
Canteen made a catch! And he's wearing 17. Always enjoy guys wearing oddball numbers I have no association with. Looking forward to Canteen changing it six times over the course of his career.
Wrong move, buddy. Now we're going to try and beat you. Ohio State cockiness increments yearly these days. And one day super super soon they are going to regret it, I tell you. Until then, the prospect of random OSU assistant coaches spouting off about Michigan remains. Ed Warinner:
Ed Warinner: "If you're worried about Wolverine fans, just move to Pasadena. You'll never have to deal with 'em."
— Marcus Hartman (@marcushartman) April 2, 2014
Standard message board banter. Okay. And then:
Warinner on lost playbooks in Michigan: "I heard Brady was upset because he hadn't finished coloring them."
— Marcus Hartman (@marcushartman) April 2, 2014
Wow. That's personal. I expect that from a guy named WOLVERINEKILLAH88, not so much a coach. Hoke brushed it off on WTKA today, as he is wont to do.
From the People In Charge Of Things Are Just In Charge Of Them file. Texas has a new athletic director, who is in charge of Texas. He is also an idiot.
He sees Texas as being in a unique position to grow its international brand and said it's essential to use athletics as a platform to tell the university's story.
"They shouldn't be done for junketeering purposes," Patterson said. "They should be done in a fashion that grows the profile and the interest of the university of a broad scale internationally."
Patterson reportedly has expressed interest in playing a nonconference football game in Mexico City. Another possibility Patterson acknowledged Tuesday could be a future sporting event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
This dude already scheduled a Texas basketball game in China, but will not even consider playing Texas A&M. The goal appears to be pissing off your core fanbase as much as possible. CEO types are just emperors running around naked as the day is long these days, searching for growth at all costs like their department is a publicly traded company.
Also… "junketeering." Just keep shooting bullets into the English language until it topples, guys.
It's on. The Michigan legislature passed a bill allowing Michigan to sell alcohol for that rumored Man U/Real Madrid friendly this summer, which was followed up by an announcement there would be an announcement tomorrow. Expect them to announce a series of announcements about announcements culminating in a soccer game.
Etc.: A Brian Phillips ode to Raftery and Lundquist. Five Key Plays for Kentucky. More Morgan. Additional Morgan. DJ Wilson update.
One Frame At A Time: Tennessee
I have a copy of the Kentucky game. I went so far as to open it in the program I use to make GIFs, because despite the outcome I thought Caris LeVert's block/tie-up of Julius Randle was worth GIFing for future reference. Naturally, CBS showed one useless replay angle and cut off the second, useful angle halfway through the play.
There will be no Kentucky GIFs today.
Anyway, the Tennessee game worked out much better and also provided several great moments, none more important than the charge Jordan Morgan drew on Jarnell Stokes:
I know this is an utterly pointless exercise, but this call has been much-discussed—was it really a charge, or did Morgan just hit the deck at the first sign of contact?
Unless you want to argue that Morgan committed a blocking foul—dubious, in my opinion—then the answer is irrelevant. Watch Caris LeVert poke the ball away as the contact occurs; watch how the ball voodoo-spins and somehow stays inbounds, and LeVert making the heads up play to go after it until the whistle blows. If this had been a no-call, it would've been a steal, and the song remains the same.
Since Stokes lowered his shoulder like he was Marshawn Lynch in the open field against a safety, this whole aside was probably unnecessary.
[Hit THE JUMP for the bench mob ending the season in style, Nik Stauskas going Harlem Globetrotter, DEATH FROM ABOVE, and more.]
One Frame At A Time: Wofford & Texas
Jordan Morgan recorded his second double-double of the weekend in the most Jordan Morgan way possible: by attempting to take a charge, not getting the call, and grabbing a board anyway while he's flat on his back.
This didn't make the top ten from the weekend. Don't fret, though—Morgan still makes several appearances. For the rest of the first two rounds of the tourney in GIFs, hit the jump.
[JUMP like GRIII over Javan Felix.]
Being Blake Griffin
3/22/2014 – Michigan 79, Texas 65 – 27-8, Sweet 16
Dustin Johnston/UMHoops
The last time Michigan played an NCAA tourney game involving a two seed, it was their first bid in ten years. After not quite blowing a huge lead against Clemson in the 7-10 game they ran up against a brick wall named Blake Griffin. Insofar as you can call one of the most athletic dudes on the planet a "brick wall," anyway.
Michigan was still not exactly complete at this juncture. Manny and DeShawn headlined; the rest of the starting lineup consisted of freshman versions of Novak and Douglass plus the CJ Lee/David Merrit walk-on duo. Kelvin Grady, Jevohn Shepherd, Laval Lucas-Perry, Zack Gibson, and Anthony Wright were the bench. Every time you end up looking at that roster the immediate thought is "these guys made the second round of the tournament?"
Meanwhile, Griffin's stats are as hilarious as you would expect from "Blake Griffin takes on guys like Zack Novak." He used almost a third of Oklahoma's possessions, rebounded a third of defensive opportunities, drew more fouls than anyone else in the country, and shot 66% from the floor—mostly by dunking from halfcourt. Watching him live was mostly an experience in terror. Dual undercurrents cut it: one of outrage that he could do the things he did and still call himself human, a second of excitement at the same thing.
Michigan managed to stick close despite foul trouble for Harris. Anthony Wright played the game of his career, and Michigan kept in contact. As the second half progressed, though, a feeling of inevitability fell over the proceedings. Michigan was just not good enough to make up the deficit presented them. They made a push or two; each was quickly met with a riposte.
That is entirely the wrong word, since it indicates finesse. Every time Michigan approached Oklahoma it was called a nerd and thrown bodily into a dumpster.
"Hey, Novak! Your kid is going to have a picture of that on his wall!"
Michigan lost by ten; it may as well have been a billion. Novak would later be featured in a Sports Illustrated article dedicated to all the guys Griffin has posterized. He took it with good humor, because sometimes life puts you in china shop with Blake Griffin and asks you to get it tea.
Nik Stauskas has taken to opening games with a demonstration of force. The first shot of most Michigan games is Stauskas raising up over his defender to hit an eyebrow-cocking three. Welcome to the gun show, it says. I can do this whenever I want. Later he'll fly over a screen and rise up when the big starts sagging back into the lane. It goes in, because it just does. One moment is all it takes. In your face, Charlie Murphy. Stauskas is the Big Ten player of the year for a reason.
That reason is not that he has to take all of Michigan's shots. He takes barely more than an average share of them, so when you start freaking out about Stauskas the ball is in someone else's hands. That person is generally flying towards the basket (if he is Jordan Morgan) or aligning himself for a catch and shoot three pointer he knocks down at 40% (if he is anyone else). They'll bail you out with a turnover maybe twice a half.
This is a different kind of hopeless thing to be in opposition to, but it is just as dispiriting as knowing that Blake Griffin has the ball on a fast break and you are supposed to do something about it. Novak in SI:
"When I get to the three point line, I start thinking, Why am I doing this?" … "Next thing I know his feet are at my face."
You can get in deep, quick. If Michigan is going well, things will get somewhat out of hand before the opposing coach throws his hands up at the man to man defense that has been the heart of his philosophy for his entire career and goes to a zone. Yeah, against a team that shoots 40% from three. Yeah, we're not even much of a zone team. It can't be worse is the thought. Often it is followed by why am I doing this?
Texas was so discombobulated by the basketball portion of the first half that they came out in the second determined to play volleyball on one end and a random matchup zone on the other. It worked, a bit. Texas pulled to within six. Things threatened to get serious, but then a rather important flaw in the idea of playing zone against Michigan presented itself. First Robinson got lost, then LeVert, then Albrecht.
They rained in death from above, as they are wont to do.
The look on the faces of Texas' staff right now ... if you could only see.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) March 22, 2014
I know that look. I have had that look, when Blake Griffin was doing Blake Griffin things and the only response was stare ahead and think what is anyone supposed to do about THAT?
I thought about Griffin in the second half as Texas drew nearer. I was nervous, of course, but it was only a part of my consciousness instead of its entirety. In a commercial break someone said something about the last four minutes of stagnation, and I said they were still getting great looks and they would be fine. It then dawned on me that I meant it.
I was not waiting for the roof to fall in. I was waiting for water to find its level. And then it did. They're still bigger and stronger than Michigan, but these days it's the bullies getting put in the dumpster.
The column in one emoji. I could have just embedded that LHN tweet instead.
— Longhorn Network (@LonghornNetwork) March 22, 2014
I'm not just going to do Novak like that. I did write a thing about Novak getting posterized that I should link if I'm going to include that picture.
Epic victory. Jordan Morgan flat wore Cameron Ridley out, with an assist from the opening nine-minute stretch of gametime without a whistle. Ridley was coming off a 17-point, 12 rebound, 4 block, 2 A, 0 TO performance against Arizona State's 7'2" shotblocker Jordan Bachynski.
Morgan limited him to 5 FGAs and six points and out-rebounded him. And he had 15 points himself in a fashion so quiet I exclaimed "how did that happen?" when someone mentioned it to me in the immediate aftermath.
That is a terrific sign for Morgan's matchup with Vol Jeronne Maymon, who is another 6'8" widebody post type.
The slowdown. [@ right: Stauskas shoulda coulda woulda thrown this down and blown the roof off, but alas. Dustin Johnston/UMHoops.]
The zone did put a brief halt to Michigan's offense after it adapted from a straight 2-3 that Michigan melted into a pile of scrap. To my eyes that drought was largely bad luck. Stauskas had a Blake Griffin-level dunk rattle out; Robinson had a putback facilitated by the zone go halfway down before popping out; a couple of open looks didn't fall. It happens. And then water finds its level.
The best scouting report ever. The way that game played out was downright eerie. Isaiah Taylor takes nothing but floaters; Isaiah Taylor took nothing but floaters aside from a couple of takes where he actually got to the basket, and then he finished with the most Isaiah Taylor line ever: 8/22, all shots from two.
Junk defense after junk defense. The hypothesis that Illinois actually did Michigan a favor by scaring the hell out of them with a 2-3 zone is now upgraded to a theory. It took about four possessions for Texas to decide a straight up 2-3 was even more doomy than their man to man, with the last straw a Morgan dunk from the baseline.
They then switched to a 1-3-1 for one possession, which frustratingly saw Michigan do nothing for about 30 seconds until Stauskas rose for a long contested three that led to a transition opportunity. Barnes immediately shelved that in favor of an odd-looking matchup zone that I couldn't quite figure out. Michigan seemed hesitant about it, too, but eventually Texas started matching up with the wrong dudes. There was that one LeVert three on which he didn't have anyone within ten feet of him.
Mildly mitigated. Normally you'd look at a game in which Michigan picked up 11 offensive rebounds and say that was good enough for shot parity. Nope, as Texas spent the second half rebounding damn near every one on their infinite misses and finished the game with more OREBs than Michigan had DREBs.
That is an alarm bell heading into a matchup with a burly Tennessee outfit, though again some of those just seem like crappy luck. Texas guards grabbed eight of their offensive rebounds and two were credit to "team"; Morgan and Robinson nearly matched the posts' contributions with seven offensive rebounds to Holmes and Ridley's nine. If that minor advantage holds up for the Tennessee posts I'm feeling pretty good about Friday.
Must work on free throw defense. Texas goes 15/16. Cumong man. Michigan did give most of those FTAs to the Texas guards and not their bricklaying bigs, so they couldn't have expected 10/16… but still. Maybe I shouldn't be complaining in a game where Morgan goes 7/8.
A quick look at Tennessee. Much more on this later, of course, but at first glance Tennessee is Texas after leveling up a few more times. They don't shoot well but make up for it by pounding the offensive boards; their defense is tough to shoot against and doesn't force many turnovers. Unlike Texas, Tennessee does a good job of preventing threes from being launched. They also have a semblance of outside shooting.
As you've probably heard, the Vols are huge Kenpom darlings, currently 6th in the rankings despite being an 11 seed. They're favored by a point in a game Kenpom sees as a virtual tossup, and trash Kenpom at your peril—they certainly made short work of UMass and Mercer after an OT win against Iowa.
As per usual, bizarrely high computer rankings are built on margin of victory. Tennessee spent the year blowing out SEC opponents or losing to them narrowly. They finished the year with 76-38, 82-54, and 72-45 win over Vandy, Auburn, and Mizzou; they beat Virginia by 25 in December. They also lost to UTEP, NC State, Texas A&M, and Vandy. They're also 0-3 against the Gators.
Michigan 79, Texas 65
Um, Texas? You there? [photo via Dustin Johnston/UMHoops]
The scouting report favored Michigan, and this game played to the scouting report.
The Wolverines advanced to the Sweet Sixteen by outshooting Texas considerably, hitting a team NCAA Tournament record 14 of their 28 three-point attempts. The Longhorns connected on less than 40% of their two-pointers, and while they managed to make a second-half surge by overwhelming Michigan on the boards, they simply couldn't keep pace.
After the Longhorns took an early 6-3 lead, Michigan went on a tear, eventually gaining a 30-12 advantage after a Zak Irvin triple—the seventh Wolverine three-pointer in the first 13 minutes. Texas's attempts to push the pace backfired, leading to several open shots for Michigan and a bunch of missed jumpers on the other end. One could only watch agape at the display of offensive firepower:
— Longhorn Network (@LonghornNetwork) March 22, 2014
Said firepower, when combined with a returned aversion to turnovers—Michigan committed just four all game—proved impossible to overcome.
While Texas managed to close the gap to 13 points by halftime, Michigan threatened to blow the game open entirely when the Longhorns opened the second half in a 2-3 zone. Michigan scored eight points in three possessions, with a couple Derrick Walton bombs over the top sandwiched around a Jordan Morgan dunk after gorgeous passing shredded the defense.
Them something strange happened. Rick Barnes called for a slight alteration to the 2-3, shading the backside guard over the middle, and then mixed in a fair amount of 1-3-1. Michigan went without a field goal for nearly six minutes. After Michigan had managed to mitigate Texas's size and rebounding advantage in the first half, the Longhorns dominated the boards in the second, and they pulled within six after an Isaiah Taylor jumper.
That's when Glenn Robinson III made two of the biggest plays of his career, first blowing by Connor Lammert and finishing with an impressive floater, then connecting on a three from the wing on Michigan's next possession to stretch the lead back to 11 with 6:45 to play.
A corner three by Spike Albrecht and a four-point trip after Jordan Morgan drew an intentional foul—while making a basket that was waved off, no less—put the final nails in the coffin. While it took them a while, Michigan eventually took advantage of the holes in the Longhorn zone, and once they did the proceedings were academic.
In addition to Robinson (14 points, 5/10 FG, 5 rebounds) and his second-half heroics, two performances really stood out for Michigan. Nik Stauskas led the team with 17 points on 15 shot equivalents while tying a career high with eight assists; his passing was key in picking apart Texas's zone. Then there was Morgan, who scored 15 (5/7 FG, 7/8 FT), pulled in ten rebounds (5 off.), dished out two assists, and recorded two steals. He limited Cameron Ridley to six points and nine rebounds while giving the Texas behemoth all sorts of trouble with his quickness on the other end.
While Michigan's offensive lull in the second half got a little scary, John Beilein had a response for every one of Rick Barnes's adjustments—yes, this was expected—and it's tough to get worried about the offense when they still managed to score 1.4 points per trip. This was another slow-paced game—just 57 possessions, one more than the Wofford slog—with a score that often belied the comfortable gap between the two teams.
With Duke off the board, Michigan awaits the winner of tomorrow evening's Tennessee/Mercer game. Either way, they've cleared the path for a deep run, and they've already accomplished a lot—did anyone imagine this team moving on to the Sweet Sixteen without much resistance after Mitch McGary went down?
Now, with McGary competing for the role of top cheerleader from the bench, Michigan will be favored to play for a spot in the Final Four regardless of who wins tomorrow. Take a bow, John Beilein.

In 1951
the Peak District
became Britain's first national park. One of the first tasks was to provide access to the wonderful expanses of high open moorland within the Park. Access agreements with landowners were drawn up allowing people to enjoy walking and climbing on the moors without having to keep to rights of way.
In 1954
the Peak District
National Park scored another first when the National Park warden service was formed, one full-time warden, assisted by a few enthusiastic volunteers, helped manage such access areas. In 1974 their work was widened to cover the whole of the 555sq mile National Park and their title was changed from warden to ranger. 1997 saw the Peak Park Joint Planning Board gaining full powers and becoming a National Park Authority.
Today the ranger service is divided into fourteen areas each managed by an area ranger. There are a further eight full-time
and a Pennine Way ranger, with over 300 part-time and volunteer
. This team, along with the Access Officer and the Rights of Way Officer, helped to successfully implement the Countryside and Rights of Way Act within
the Peak District
National Park in late 2004. The wider team includes
countryside volunteers
, access, rights of way, recreation facilities, area management, Moors for the Future and of course administrative support based at the National Park Office. Although the scope of the job has expanded since those early days, the essence remains the same: to provide a key point of contact between the National Park Authority, local people and visitors.
and the National Park
One of the most popular ways people enjoy the National Park is by using the open land as defined under the CRoW Act and the extensive number of
, bridleways and byways.
help to look after this open land and routes, discussing details with landowners and highway authorities before building stiles or footbridges, signing routes or repairing worn out surfaces.
also work closely with other services of the Authority helping to deliver practical actions relating to biodiversity, archaeology and landscape improvements.
and visitors
There are many millions of visits each year to the National Park, making it one of the most visited National Parks in the world.
have extensive knowledge of what to see, where to go and the history, both human and natural, of the National Park. Formal contact can include advising people on appropriate behavior on open land within the National Park. Although the initial approach is always one of friendly advice, the opportunity is taken to try to convey a conservation message in all contact with visitors.
and local people
Community links are increasing. For example,
have formed a local WATCH group, an environmental youth organisation; and are forging improved links between the Park and its 50 primary schools, an essential part of village life.
provide help to local people especially during emergencies such as flooding, moorland fires or severe winter weather. The ranger service is often the first point of contact in sorting out any problems and misunderstandings which occur between local people and visitors. A typical instance is where people regularly stray from the correct line of a footpath, which can often be solved by a ranger marking the route to the benefit of both landowner and walker.
Stay safe in the countryside
The weather in
the Peak District
, especially on the high open moorland, can change rapidly from a fine sunny day, to thick fog and growing coldness. At Information Centres and Ranger Briefing Centres warnings are given to walkers of treacherous weather conditions or other possible dangers. However some visitors may not be fully prepared for weather changes and difficult terrain and may become lost or have an accident.
Winters in
the Peak District
often bring low temperatures with snow, wind and rain which can easily lead to cases of hypothermia for those walking on the higher hills. If you are visiting
the Peak District
National Park make sure you are well prepared in case the weather conditions alter. Carry enough food and water and know how to use your map and compass
Long dry hot summers can result in peat moors becoming so dry that a careless discarded cigarette is enough to ignite the peat into a raging fire which, because of the nature of the material, can burn for weeks. One fire alone in 1997, during the height of the breeding season, destroyed approximately 35 acres of open moorland having devastating effects on vegetation, birds and other wildlife for many years. Please help us to look after the fragile moorland by taking home cigarette stubs in dry weather and if you see unattended moorland fires phone the fire brigade with details of location.

Perennial Pro Bowlers Tom Brady and Ray Lewis expressed skepticism over the potential for an expanded NFL season on Wednesday as the NFL met with the NFLPA to discuss logistics of extending the regular season to as many as 18 games.
Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy expressed support for the change, which would involve adding 1-2 regular-season games and decreasing the preseason by a corresponding amount.
"This is an idea that is really gaining momentum," Murphy said.
Murphy echoed comments voiced several times by commissioner Roger Goodell that four preseason games -- tickets for which cost as much as regular-season games -- are too much and short-change fans.
"There really isn't the same value there," Murphy said. "... I think there's a real issue we need to address.... I think it's very clear to many of us the players and teams don't need four (preseason) games to get ready for the regular season."
The NFL and NFLPA met on Wednesday in negotiations for a new CBA. The current deal expires after the 2010 season. Murphy said any changes to the schedule would be done in concert with the CBA and wouldn't come until 2012 at the earliest.
Brady, the three-time Super Bowl winning QB of the New England Patriots, and Lewis, the Baltimore Ravens LB who was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXV, said in statements to the NFLPA that they had major concerns about the effect a change would have on player safety.
Said Lewis:
"I know our fans may not like preseason games and I don't like all of them, but swapping two preseason games for two end-of-season games—when players already play hurt—comes at a huge cost for the player and the team."
Said Brady:
"I've taken part in several postseason runs where we have played 20 games. The long-term impact this game has on our bodies is well documented. Look no further than the players that came before we did."
Murphy said the league will consider such concerns, and added the NFL may adjust injured reserve rules to allow players to return from the list in-season. "We have the same concerns as the players regarding safety and will address those issues with the players," he said.

Carter: A Deal With A God
The sea churned, the wind whipped and changed directions rapidly, lightning filled the air. It was easy to see that neither Zeus nor Poseidon were happy with his travel through and above their domains. His black pegasus whinnied every time a strike got a little too close, some times even flying in circles, refusing to go further for several minutes. During those minutes, Carter wondered if his gamble would pay off. If he would ever even make it to his destination. Then, when the winged horse would continue on, the thought of what was to be gained would reaffirm his confidence.
He had a deal. If he proved himself to his father, and proved that there was more god in his blood then human, his father would answer his prayer. Hades would purge the human from his blood, his mortal soul would be made immortal. He would ascend in the ranks of the gods. He might even be given domain over some menial task a higher god or goddess no longer wished to carry out. He would see all that would happen, from the end of this age to the start of the next. He would have a say in all the godly matters, even if for the most part they would ignore him.
He grinned as a land mass began to appear. The lightning became more constant, the ocean more violent, but his steed seemed reassured by the promise that land did in fact still exist after his three days of endless flight.
Now Carter could make out the distinct shape of individual trees and buildings rather then colored smudges on a beach. He had a strange sense tingling at the back of his mind that he'd grown accustomed to, the same sort of indescribable feeling you get when you think you're being watched. It was the feeling of approaching death, lingering over the building to his right.
He stopped the pegasus directly over the building, gazing at it from above. Then, without a moments hesitation, flung himself off of his winged steed. It was several hundred feet to the roof, but this wasn't a problem for a child of Hades. He turned his body into shadow, becoming completely insubstantial. Landing on the roof without a sound, Carter closed his eyes, letting his sense of death guide him. He slipped through the roof, one of the perks available to a being without substance, and found himself in a sort of hospital room. A shrill beep would permeate the air ever second or so, hooked up to the nearly dead boy laying still, eyes closed.
He reformed his body, placing a cold hand on the young mans chest.
And to think, all my father wants me to do is prevent death from taking this one so soon.

My son had been asking me for weeks and weeks if we could make popsicles at home. We finally got around to making them and they turned out great and the kids had a blast.
The only ingredients were fruit and yogurt. 2 cups of fruit blended with 1 cup of yogurt.
We used fresh strawberries, frozen raspberries, and frozen mango. I did the blending and the kids did the assembling.
Here's a view of our popsicle assembly line:
My son is hard at work, but my daughter is watching and messing around.
And a close up of all the action:
Lastly, a picture of my daughter – none of her popsicles made it to the freezer, but she sure looks like she enjoyed the process:
These make a fantastic healthy dessert or snack. I let my kids have them for breakfast one morning (fruit and yogurt) and my son said he wanted some of his candy. Being a mom, I told him "no candy for breakfast" in response he started arguing with me that the popsicles are candy! Score!
- 2 cups frozen mangos
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 3 cups plain yogurt
- 8 popsicle sticks
- 8 small plastic cups use disposable in case you have to cut out the popsicle
- Blend together mangos and one cup of yogurt. Set aside. Repeat with raspberries and then with strawberries.
- Layer fruit blends into 8 cups.
- Insert popsicle stick into the center.
- Put in the freezer until solid.

No hide, just seek
I fond myself looking for Jyll when opposite of Flamira told me to. I knew that she'd be some where that i can't see so i moved in the shadows father and farther down the hall.
I soon came to a room with a window but no door. I started to lift myself onto part of the window when i heard a soft "help", coming from further down the hall. Insted of going to the noise i looked in the window room. People were in there, but not on my side. Back up Flamira, send me back up to the hall. Fallow the shadows and you'll find me at a window room, Hurry!

3. Home Somethimes Isn't Where The Heart IsMature
Neither of us said anything as we drove out of town. The countryside began to reseed and slowly the landscape became urban. All the time that we sat in silence, I began to wonder why Jeffery and I were friends in the first place.
He was a couple years older then me, and much smarter and well contained. I was the complete opposite. I was smart, too. Just not in the same way. I was Street Smart. I knew the way go get what I wanted in the bbest way. And, as you can probably already tell, I have always been a wild kid.
When I was only small, I wasn't allowed to go on field trips because I would always wander away from the group, piss off the workers or where ever it was we were going, and just do downright crazy things. I knew it wasn't a good thing to do, but hey, you only live once.
I'd met Jeffery when I was only about six. Our moms became best friends through their yoga classes, and when they go together, Jeffery, my brother and I would get together to play. I'd spent a lot of time with him, pretty much every weekend, and every summer.
And then my mom died.
It happened while she was driving my brother to hockey practice one night. They were hit by tractor trailer on the highway, and were dead at the scene. Chancy, who was only a year older then me, had been more a best friend then a brother. I was heart broken when he died, along with my mom, who was my mentor.
That left me with my dad, who later remarried and got really lazy and mean. He was pretty bad before my mom died, but now he's just unbearable! Every little thing I do wrong, he jumps on it. So, eventually, I just gave up trying to be good and did bad things all the time. I was going to get yelled at anyways, so why not have a little fun?
So, there I was, looking for a new place to live and a new life. I knew it was going to be hard to handle, I could tell that. But I needed to show my father that I could do it, and that he could stop treating me like the little kid I wasn't anymore. Jeffery then pulled up to a large house, with a room for rent sigh on the mail box.
"Well, here she is," he said as he gazed down the long driveway, which was closed off by a big iron gate that was closed at the time. "Not too shabby, but I'll imagine it will be a little expensive for the room."
"Well," I told him as I unbuckled my seat belt. "It's better then sleeping on the streets or crawling back to my dad." With that, I walked with a confident step up to the voice box and rung the bell. After a couple of seconds, a voice came through.
"….Hello." It wasn't even a question, just a flat and dull word. I clenched my sweaty palms and spoke optimistically.
"Hey, I'm here about the room for rent." I said as I held down the button. After that, a couple more moments of silence, and the gates gave a low groan, and pulled back. I glanced back at Jeffery, who was looking at me with big eyes. He was scared for me. So, I gave him my secure grin and walked through the gates towards the house.
The house was so classy. The driveway was cobble stone and a small but awesome fountain stood in front of the big garage doors. I doubted that I would be able to pay what they wanted for the room, but if I gave up all my savings, I might be able to afford one month or so.
The door slowly opened as I made my way up the steps of the porch. A tall girl looked out at me and gave me a run over with her eyes. They seemed to say that same thing I was thinking, which was what am I doing here?
"Hello," she said tonelessly and ushered me in. I slipped past her into the beautiful house and stared. "Yes, it is beautiful, and there is a room for rent." She told me, swiftly closing the door and looking me in the face.
"But I don't think you're quite the person we were looking to fill it with." She said boldly as she scrutinized me again with her sharp hazel eyes. "Aren't you a little young to be away from mommy?"
I swear, if I hadn't been in the situation where I needed her on my good side, I would have punched her in the face right then. I did look young for my age. Most people think I'm only about fourteen, when really, I'm almost eighteen. Most people don't even mention it anymore, because they know I will get mad. But this girl was just plain bitchy.
"Well, If you'd like to discuss that with my father, go right ahead." I told her, trying to dismiss the subject before I got really angry. "He's the only reason I'm here right now."
The girl laughed a little then finally showed me some form of humanity. She smiled, as if saying that she liked me a little, and offered me her hand. "Father trouble? We've got something in common. I'm Luna, by the way." I shook her hand and shot her my crooked smile. "Silver."
She dropped her hand and looked out the window. "You're friend, he's gone."
"Yeah, so?" I inquired as I looked arounf the place a little.
She looked at me with confused eyes. "How are you going to get home?"
I looked her in the eyes and smiled briefly. "I am home," I told her shortly, and sprawled out on the leather couch the sat in the greeting room of the house. Her eyes widened a bit and she bit her lip.
"Haven't you any bags to bring, belongings?" she asked as she once again looked out the window into the driveway. She looked a little nervous, skittish almost. I followed her glance, and saw that a black car had pulled up in the driveway.
"What? Are you anxious to get rid of me? Already?"
"No, not at all, it's just.-"
She swiftly stepped out of the way as the door sung open. A cool draft blew into the room as a boy, a year or so older then me, stomped in. He quickly threw off his coat, which landed on the couch beside me and he turned to Luna. His eyes were eager, and he looked full of energy.
"I followed them till about halfway down Crystal Avenue, and they disappeared. Something must be going real bad for them to just-" he spoke hastily; barley even putting pauses between his words. Although he was finally brought to a stop when Luna, who I believed was his sister, gave him a sharp glance and nodded her head in my direction.
At first he didn't seem to quite get what she was inquiring, but slowly, he turned to me, and I gave him a little smug smile. He looked me over, just as his sister had done, and then grimaced.
"She's total scrap off the street, you know? I don't give a damn about what dad said, she's not staying." He told Luna as he climbed a couple steps up the sairway. "No, we're giving it to someone who actually needs it." He retorted and looked back at me. "Go home, little girl. You're not wanted here."
With that he clambered up the rest of the steps, disappearing from my sight. I looked at Luna, who was just shaking her head, and giving me an apologetic smile. She didn't seem surprised, however. He must just be that kind of person, who thinks' they make all the decisions.
"Well, that was pleasant." I commented as I got to my feet, slinging my back pack over my shoulder. I didn't care that he'd insulted me, he was a jerk. He was only doing that because he wanted to make himself feel better, so I let it go. Poor kid.
"I'm sorry about him," Luna told me as she led me down the hall. "He's just uptight because our parents just left us. Quite unexpectedly, really." Well, he was in the exact opposite situation I was in now. His parents left, mine kicked me out. And he thinks he got it bad.
"No, it's okay." I told her as we entered the room; it was fully furnished and everything, it just didn't have any sings of being lived in recently. "This is it, then? It's nice." I threw my bag onto the desk chair and explored the place. It was an unusual shaped room, with plain white walls that were begging to be painted.
"Yep, and it's all yours." Luna told me and turned to leave, but she hesitated at the door. "And don't listen to what Roy says. He just thinks that now that our dad is gone, he runs things around here." She explained to me in a flat tone. She turned back to me and winked. "But he can think whatever he wants. We run this place, not him."
I smiled at her and nodded. "What about money though? How much do I owe you?"
"Um, no really. How much?"
She shrugged leaned up against the door frame. "My father instructed me to give the room to the first person that came, free of charge." She said and gave a dismissive shrug. "And that person is you, so you owe us nothing."

husband looking for new salomon boots...
my husband has had a pair of salomon boots for longer than we've been together and last year they shit the bed. he really likes them and is looking for something comparable. i believe they are salomon autofit but don't quote me on it. anyway, this is what they look like, except his are mens boots (the ones pictured are womens) and his are yellow and navy blue.
has anyone seen these boots, and if so can you recommend a pair that are similar in function and fit? :dunno:
I think most current Salomon boots are pretty consistent in their sizing, but if your husband's boots are many years old, there's no telling how things may have changed. He'll need to try on a new pair.
As to "function," all of Salomon's better boots now use speed-lacing (except a couple with the BOA system); he probably wouldn't want to use the remaining low-end models with regular laces. For a medium-stiff, very good all-around boot, try the Dialogue or the F20. For something stiffer, try the F22. For really stiff, try the Malamute.
4 Attachment(s)
Go to store. Try on as many boots as possible. Buy the ones that fit the best. Done.
I've only tried on Salomon, but until they give me a reason to I won't bother with anyone else. Great fit for me, and high quality workmanship. Shouldn't pack out near as bad as other brands and last you a few seasons. The Fusion boots (F20 for park, F22 for freeride) are one piece and smaller footprint, which I really like too. So since he likes his Salomons try this years lineup and see if the fit is good.
My budder has the dialogues and absolutely loves them, and I have the Malumutes and really enjoy them.
What kind of riding does your husband do?
mostly freeride but dabbles in the park from time to time
for boots just go into a shop have them pull every brand in every stiffness level and try them on, it will take forever, but its hard to say what will compare especially if he has had them for so long, he has worn them in, and they are a part of him. (i know what its like to have to move on from a good boot) nothing will fit the same. he'll just need to take his time and try on everything he can get his hands on.

UW is 23rd in coaches' poll
Gary Andersen's first team at Wisconsin opened at No. 23 in the USA Today preseason coaches' poll.
Five Big Ten teams were in the poll released Thursday.
Ohio State, which finished 12-0 last season under first-year coach Urban Meyer, was No. 2 behind two-time defending national champion Alabama.

Govind Armstrong's Roasted Tomatoes
This recipe for roasted tomatoes can be found in Govind Armstrong's cookbook, "Small Bites Big Nights."
- Yield: Makes 24 tomato "petalsâ€
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, Episode 2168
- 6 plum tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 sprigs fresh basil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add tomatoes to boiling water and cook 30 seconds. Drain and immediately transfer to ice-water bath until cool; drain.
Cut a 1/4-inch piece from the bottom of a tomato so that it will stand upright. Starting at the top of the tomato, cut 4 petal-shaped fillets using a downward motion with a paring knife to remove the flesh from the seeded core; discard core. Repeat process with remaining tomatoes.
In a large bowl, toss the tomato petals together with the oil, thyme, and basil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a nonstick baking sheet; roast until caramelized, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold. Store in a covered container, refrigerated, up to 1 week, if desired.

Artichoke Orzo Salad
November 8th, 2008
As a last hurrah before the summers end, we gathered our good friends for a weekend camping trip to
This recipe is something that should have been shared weeks ago, but following this historic election and every other excuse in the book, blogging has taken a backseat yet again. But now that people of America has shown the will to fundamentally change things, we are also ready to pick up the pieces and start rebuilding - starting with the blog. We hope you enjoy!
One thing that I can assure you today is that this orzo salad is very easy to prepare, only 4 simple steps. It starts with preparing a homemade red wine vinaigrette, chopping vegetables, boiling pasta (in chicken stock to assure proper seasoning), and leaving the salad to sit and soak it all up. Heck, if you want to use the store bought vinaigrette, its down to a whopping 3 steps!
So with no further adieu, the Artichoke Orzo Salad recipe that you have been waiting for.
Red Wine Vinaigrette Ingredients
¼ cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Combine all ingredients except for the olive oil in a blender or a food processor. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle the in olive oil. Once fully incorporated, if necessary, adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper lemon juice.
Artichoke Orzo Salad Ingredients
4 cups chicken broth
1 (16-ounce) box orzo pasta
½ small red onion, finely chopped
½ red pepper, finely chopped
½ green pepper, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 (16-ounce can) artichoke hearts, in water
½ cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chiffonade
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Artichoke Orzo Salad Recipe
- Bring broth to a full boil over high heat, stir in orzo. Cover with lid and cook until the orzo is al dente (cooked so as to be firm but not hard), stirring frequently during the cooking process. Cooking time will vary, but you should be somewhere around 7~8 minutes. Do not over cook the pasta.
- Drain the orzo through a mesh strainer. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl (a cookie sheet will speed up the cooling process) and cool completely. We use the refrigerator.
- Once cooled, toss the orzo with all other ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly begin adding the vinaigrette until orzo salad is covered, you do not want so much vinaigrette that it begins to pool in the bottom of the bowl.
- Cover and rest the orzo salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The idea here is to let the orzo soak up the goodness of the vinaigrette, a couple hours is best. Make sure to adjust the flavor the salad before serving. It tastes great served at room temperature, which makes it ideal for a potluck or picnic! A fresh squeeze of lemon juice right before serving with bring it to life.

Hi Gretchen!
I love camping in parks or when is possible, near the beach in summer. The orzo salad is super yummy and easy-as for a camping- with a correct and fresh balance between the ingredients!!
This salad match perfectly well, with a typical tradition in my country of beef barbecued in campings with chimichurri sauce (parsley, onion, garlic, red pepper, touch of paprika and black pepper with some olive or corn oil)
November 10th, 2008 at 9:05 am
This is fabulous! I have some orzo in my pantry and will be making this soon!
November 11th, 2008 at 9:26 am
This really looks great – A secret I have never made orzo but will add these ingredients to the shopping list this week to try!!

@Gera I personally can't get enough camping, and the great thing about Southern Cali is that you can camp all year round! I have yet to venture into South American cooking, but my favorite restaurant is this great little Peruvian/South American joint. I'll have work up to making some of their dishes at home so I can incorporate them into my camping menus :)

@ Cathy-wheresmydamnanswer Feel free to add an fresh veggies you have in the fridge. That is actually how this recipe was adapted. Frozen organic peas or corn would be great as well. If you end up experimenting let us know how it turns out.

@Megan Since making this salad I have made a habit of keeping some extra orzo in the pantry. In fact, last night I breaded some leftover pork cutlets, added some swiss cheese and homemade tomato sauce and served the whole thing over a bed of orzo. Dee-lish!

I will certainly have to try this one. I used to make something similar with rice-a-roni years before I really started cooking from scratch. It had broccoli, red onion and olives though. I like this MUCH better.
Thanks for sounding off on our time machine post. We'll be sure to give you a shout out on the radio today :-D

Roger Pearson looks at how the Spice Girls have so far failed in their bid to prevent an Italian company using their photographs. The Spice Girls are currently involved, directly and indirectly, in two pieces of litigation at the High Court.
As reported on this page (The Lawyer, 10 June), solicitor Ian Clifford has launched an action claiming he gave up his job at the Simkins Partnership to devote his time to managing Richard Stannard and Matthew Rowbottom, the writers of the band's hit Wannabe.
And the girls have now entered the legal arena in their own right. They have taken their case to the Chancery Division in a bid to stop an Italian company distributing a sticker album with their photographs on it, claiming that the product would harm sales of their own forthcoming product.
Senior litigation partner and intellectual property specialist at Titmuss Sainer Dechert, Andrew Hearn, was called in at the last minute by the Italian company, Panini, in order to ward off a ban on the album.
What will happen next in the case remains to be seen, but so far Mr Justice Lightman has refused an injunction. In a ruling that intellectual property lawyers at Titmuss Sainer Dechert describe as "significant", he ruled that the Spice Girls are not entitled to a court order, at least not on an interlocutory basis, to prevent others from using photographs of them for a sticker album for which they did not give their permission.
The judgment is one which is seen to reinforce the principle that no person has a right to prevent photographs of himself or herself being used without permission.
Counsel for the girls, James Mellor, who was arguing for an immediate ban on distribution of the album, said that fans would view it as an official licensed product of the group and that it was important that the girls controlled their merchandise. There was, he argued, only room for one such product on the market. He said they would not, however, object to any product bearing their photograph being marked "unofficial".
The judge said that he was far from satisfied that members of the public would be influenced into not buying the album if it contained "a disavowal of authenticity from the publishers." Despite Mellor's argument that refusal of an injunction would open the way for others to follow in Panini's footsteps, he said: "Whether it is official or not is of no relevance to the purchaser."
For Panini, John Baldwin QC argued that the case was "a storm in a teacup" and that the marketplace was "inundated" with Spice Girls products.
He denied that the girls would suffer irreparable damage from distribution of the Panini stickers and added that the band did not have any agreement relating to a sticker album of their own.
Hearn says: "The decision follows a long line of similar precedents relating to memorabilia and merchandise of famous personalities. The fact is that under English law there is no inherent right to restrict the use that can be made of a photograph provided that it was not obtained by means of a breach of confidence or an infringement of copyright."
He stresses that further action is still on the cards. Although the offer has not yet been taken up, the judge has offered the Spice Girls the opportunity of a full trial within two months.

descriptionThe legendary Castlevania franchise returns to the next generation of handheld gaming systems.
Set in the year 2036, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow picks up one year after the events of Aria of Sorrow (GBA). A mysterious cult, unhappy that Soma Cruz failed to fulfill his destiny and become the reincarnation of Dracula, seeks to sacrifice our hero so it can bring about a new dark lord. Rather than wait for his enemies to come to him, Soma decides to go on the offensive, which leads him to an all-too-familiar castle.
Following in the footsteps of recent Castlevania games, the series' DS debut features RPG elements and a labyrinthine map rife with secrets and special weapons. Aria of Sorrow's heralded Tactical Soul system returns as well, allowing you to learn new powers and abilities by capturing the souls of your vanquished foes.
As you control the action on the bottom screen, the top screen will display enemy and player information or a map that's updated in real time as you explore the castle. While that may not sound like the most glamorous use of the dual screens, Castlevania disciples can attest to how valuable a persistent view of the map will be when you're trying to find a secret room or remember the location of that previously unreachable platform.
The touch screen also plays a crucial role in smashing crystal blocks that stand in your path, and in drawing Magic Seals to banish bosses. Konami has also revealed that certain Tactical Souls will enable you to perform location-based attacks via the stylus. In some rooms, you'll even be able to use the stylus to warp to different locations in the castle.

Works with Ioad and Android. Actually have a bit bettter success with Android app. Doesn't seem to impact the camera battery too much - but haven't used it that much yet. It's cool to be able to see your pictures instantly on your tablet instead of a dinky camera backplate.
Pictures load up okay, but has problems streaming a video. Lose one star.

It might have been a hint already, seeing as Adam was featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, in which he commented on some of the Grammy nominees (obviously flailing over Lady Gaga and Beyonce again):
And on Ryan's radio show, Adam already gave away that it was 'very likely' that he would do the red carpet coverage for the Grammys; but since nothing was confirmed yet he couldn't give the details, to Ryan's chagrin. Now, however, Adam took his twitter to tell the world – in his completely own style – what he was going to do for the Grammys:
First, he tweeted "More good news: I will be Entertainment Weekly's Red Carpet Coorespondant for the GRAMMYS! "Who are you wearing?!" "
Then he obviously caught (or was made aware by a dozen twats) his latest word invention: "Correspondent. Spelling. My specialty."
After which he realized yet another, probably even more drastic, mistake in his first tweet: "Shoot! Entertainment TONIGHT! not weekly. Hahah post-nap haze got me all stupid."
It did already sound a bit weird, doing the Grammys coverage for EW. But in the end, the big word came out: Adam will be interviewing the celebs at the Grammys for Entertainment Tonight! Sounds like a really nice gig for him, and just imagine how awesome it would be if he would get to interview Lady Gaga on the red carpet?!

On this date in 1844, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Klas Pontus Arnoldson was born in Goteburg, Sweden. He left school after his father died at age 16, and worked for the Swedish State Railways for two decades. He was elected to the Riksdag, the Swedish parliament, from 1882 to 1887, where he championed expansion of franchise, religious freedom, antimilitarism, and promoted political neutrality for Sweden. He founded the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society in 1883, and edited several journals. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1908 for his pacifist work, especially during the 1895 dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden, in which he controversially sided with Norway. According to his Nobel Prize biography, "Familiar with the humanistic tenets of religious movements originating in the nineteenth century in Great Britain and in the New England section of the United States, he decried fanatic dogmatism and espoused essentially Unitarian views on truth, tolerance, freedom of the individual conscience, freedom of thought, and human perfectibility. These views he published in the Nordiska Dagbladet [Northern Daily] which he edited for a short time in the early 1870's, and in Sanningss�karen [The Truth Seeker]." After concentrating on largely journalistic writing, Arnoldson wrote several major works during his last three decades, including Religion in the Light of Research (1891). D. 1916.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has launched a stinging attack on Alan Pardew after the Newcastle United manager criticised him for haranguing referee Mike Dean.
In a press conference this morning, Ferguson described Pardew as a manager of a "wee club in the north east", claimed he "shoves" referees and "makes a joke of it," and that the Newcastle boss would be wise to remember the help he has been given in the past.
In United's 4-3 victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day, Ferguson was incensed when referee Dean overruled assistant Jake Collin and awarded Newcastle's second goal.
Ferguson approached Dean as he made his way out for the second half, before rounding on the fourth official Neil Swarbrick and Collin.
Despite widespread astonishment at Ferguson's actions, the Football Association announced yesterday that the United manager would not be punished because Dean had not included the altercation in his match report.
In the aftermath of the match, Pardew said Dean will have been "slightly disappointed" he did not take action against Ferguson at the time.
Ferguson appears to have taken exception to the comment from the Newcastle boss.
"I was demonstrative but I was not out of order," he said today.
"The press have had a field day. The only person they have not spoken to is Barack Obama because he is busy,
"It is unfortunate but I am the manager of the most famous club in the world. Not Newcastle, a wee club in the north east.
"I was demonstrative. I am always demonstrative. Everyone knows that. I am an emotional guy. But I was not abusive.
"I shouted Mike over. We walked towards each other. I was only on (the pitch) three or four yards. That has been overplayed.
"The problem for me is that the profile of this club is huge.
"Alan Pardew has come out and criticised me. He is the worst at haranguing referees. He shoves them and makes a joke of it. How he can criticise me is unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way."
Pardew was given a two-match touchline ban and fined £20,000 after accepting an FA charge of improper conduct for pushing an assistant referee earlier this season.
He was sent off during the 2-1 win over Tottenham on August 18 at St James' Park when he pushed Peter Kirkup after claiming the ball had gone out of play during a Spurs attack.
Despite the Manchester United manager's protestations that he was "not out of order", Arsene Wenger said today that Ferguson should be treated like everybody else and deserved to be punished.
"Should you behave like that? No," said Wenger, who was sent to the stands by Dean for kicking a water bottle in 2009.
"I did not always behave like I should and you can call that a bad example, yes.
"The message it sends out when you look at the pictures is just not to behave like that.
"We go sometimes overboard on the touchline and when we do it we have to be punished, it is as simple as that.
"(If) it is me or Ferguson or anybody else in the world, the rules are the rules. It is not rules for one person and the rules for another person, it is the same for everybody."
