Cat of the Day
Photo Comments
Max passed this morning, he was 15 years old. He was loved.
My favorite cat Maximilian in furs
curls up in my bed in the morning and purrs
he is so happy he stretches and snuggles
seems to forget about all his cat struggles
During the day he's as stiff as a rail
almost like some things shoved under his tail
he walks through the room gives the kittens a scare
without batting an eye, he will just sit and glare
They run and play and they make such a fuss
if Max spoke human I think he would cuss
"Stupid head kittens who don't know their place,
rug rats had better stay out of my face!"
Max used to jump several feet in the air
no one remembers now, nobody cares
back when I could barely scrape up the rent
he just showed up (or perhaps he was sent)
Back when the nights seemed especially cold
no one else was around for me to hold
Max would crawl under my blanket at night
and I knew that everything would be alright
Nowadays our house is so full of cats
buzzing around here like so many gnats
Once when the girl kitten was playing chase
she was nearly crushed by a very large vase
She was using a table cloth to climb a ledge
pulling a giant vase close to the edge
Max ran up and scared her with a faux attack
she jumped, the vase missed her , and crashed on his back
The Vet said that there was nothing to see
but Max was never the way he should be
he moves a bit slower at least I think so
he hurts but i don't think he wants us to know
my favorite cat Maximilian in furs
curls up in my bed in the morning and purrs
When it's real cold and it's just getting light
I hold him and we know it
will be all right

The Prime Minister launched an angry attack today on the unelected EU commissioner who said proposals for European immigration risked Britain becoming a "nasty country".
David Cameron said he expected "better behaviour in future" from Hungarian employment commissioner Laszlo Andor.
"Britain is one of the most open generous and tolerant countries in the world — to suggest otherwise is quite wrong," the PM said in Vilnius, Lithuania. "Commissioner Andor, I expect better behaviour in future."
Mr Cameron also protested directly to José Manuel Barroso, the head of the European Commission, in private. Sources said he argued that it was inappropriate for an unelected official to dismiss the policies of democratically elected leaders.

Basic Real Estate Statistics Explained
We are going to define some of the basic real estate statistics that get thrown around on a regular basis. To do that, we will use one real estate market, located in Hood County Texas. Even more granular, we will use the single family numbers for homes in Granbury Tx, a small town of approximately 8,000 residents which has seen substantial real estate growth in the past 12 months. It is important when reviewing real estate statistics to use a group of numbers large enough for consistency, but granular enough to tell your story.
The statistics that we will be referencing are true and accurate for the year discussed but are being used to define the real estate statistic itself.
We have chosen Granbury Tx as our example because the growth of the local real estate market there make the statics stand out.
Anytime you are evaluating statistics, especially in real estate, the source of the numbers are extremely important. In most instances, the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) provides the most accurate numbers when referring to real estate. This is because

As a late-arriving passenger on the their bandwagon, I was disappointed to learn that At the Drive In had broken up before I had the chance to catch them live. They had a great sound and raw energy that was matched by few.
11 Jul 2002: Tweeter Center Tinley Park, Illinois
Luckily, little time passed before At the Drive In spawned two new bands, The Mars Volta and Sparta. When the opportunity to see Sparta arose, I was ready and willing to be swept off my feet, hoping for some of the magic that surrounded At the Drive In.
Sparta, who was opening for Weezer and Dashboard Confessional, took the stage while the crowd was still filing into the Tweeter Center. The band quickly settled into the aggressive guitar lines and odd beats that made At the Drive In unique. The four-piece Sparta, who brought a fifth member for their live show, also added swirling keyboard patterns like those of The Who. The stage was now set, and I was awaiting that big musical payoff.
The set continued with "Mye" from Sparta's Austere EP. "Mye" is a solid song on the recording, but the live version struggled at such a large venue. Lead singer Jim Ward was powerful and confident, but his voice was hardly distinct from the dozens of emo bands all over the radio and concert stage. Ward screamed and yearned, but had little range and no contrasting quiet dynamic. Soon most of the crowd was indifferent and immune to Ward's voice.
As each song was played, it became clear that the band was polished and comfortable together. But it was also clear that they didn't have any potential hits to offer. Sparta was surely not trying to be a pop band, but without some semblance of a catchy melody, they failed to even attract new fans. Instead, Sparta was content to play songs based on one guitar riff repeated for three to four minutes.
As the seven-song set wound down, however, a glimmer of hope was audible. Two new songs, "Cut Your Ribbon" and "Air" were undeniably creative and different than the rest of the set. "Cut Your Ribbon", a preview of Sparta's upcoming CD, Wiretap Scars, was a great song. It's odd time signature and surprisingly sharp vocals gave the song an identity. The final song in the set, "Air", had an eerie bass and keyboard opening that led into a strong vocal melody and unconventional beat. Both songs showed that Sparta has the potential to write great songs. More importantly, it shows that Sparta may be quickly improving.
The key to Sparta's future lies in the hands of Wiretap Scars. If the album contains more songs like "Cut Your Ribbon" and "Air", fans will be back and Sparta will naturally reciprocate their excitement at concerts. If the album contains repetitious instrumentals and weak vocals, though, it's only a matter of time before fans view Sparta as a sad remnant of a once great band.

Bob light up a cigarette. His hands were trembling. He take a deep inhale of his cigarette, then exhale heavily. He decided to do something big tonight. Finally, he turn off his engine and get off his car. Looking at the window from the 2nd floor, only the bath room was lighted. Bob carefully open the front door with keys that he obtain from his restaurant, and make his entrance. Tip-toe up to the stairs, and to the room which belongs to his muse. The door was open. He could hear a muffled noise of showering. He open the bath room door carefully so that it doesn't make a sound. The warm air escaped and he smell the fragance of the shower cream.

Alan Moore with Richard Stubbs following his trip to Kokoda
August 15, 2014 , 4:40 PM by Katy
Kokoda Veteran Alan Moore has recently returned from Kokoda village 72 years after the men of the 39th Australian Infantry Battalion marched through Papua New Guinea.
Alan was accompanied by two of his daughters, a granddaughter and fellow veteran John Akhurst on his fourth trip back to Kokoda.
In Alan's chat with Richard Stubbs he reveals he was touched to share the experience with the younger generations of his family and was happily surprised when his granddaughter spoke at the 72nd anniversary ceremony.
The trip stirred up memories of the men from Alan's platoon that didn't come back, but Alan told Richard it was the initial trip back to Kokoda that marked the end of 20 years of unpleasant dreams after the war.
Listen to Richard's past interviews with Alan Moore here.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > New Frontier Awards Celebrate Public Service
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, honored the founder of an online charity providing support to public schools and a combat veteran now serving in Congress at the 2013 John F. Kennedy New Frontier Awards ceremony Monday evening. A junior at Yale University and a member of the New Frontier Awards Committee, Schlossberg took over as presenter for his mother Caroline Kennedy, who was recently appointed U.S. ambassador to Japan.
Evoking his grandfather's youthful vitality, Schlossberg noted that the New Frontier Awards reflect one of the most important qualities that his grandfather's life stood for.
"As the youngest president elected, he embodied the soaring energy of a youthful spirit and that enabled him to meet the challenges of his day with the intense energy that they required," Schlossberg said. "Today we remember that remarkable quality that defines his life, and we celebrate it in the achievements and promise of the two recipients of the New Frontier Awards."
Charles Best, a former Bronx high school teacher, was recognized for creating in 2000 the website DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that allows donors to provide direct support to public school teachers and students for classroom projects. Today, more than half of all the public schools in the country have posted projects on the site and more than a million donors have given more than $200 million in support.
In accepting the award, Best noted the company is now embarking on an expanded mission — a new frontier — by opening up its data to governments to see where needs exist and to people with ideas for improving education who can reach teachers directly through the site.
"What your award is doing is shining a spotlight, lending legitimacy and authority and significance to this new frontier of impact that we are now exploring," Best said.
Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), a former combat veteran who served two tours in the Middle East, received the Fenn Award, which honors an elected official. The award is named in honor of Dann Fenn, the first director of the Kennedy Presidential Library and a member of President Kennedy's staff, who now teaches at the Kennedy School.
At 21, Gabbard was elected to the Hawaii state legislature and in 2012 she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. As a freshman in Congress, she passed her first piece of legislation with unanimous bipartisan support, the Helping Heroes Fly Act, which streamlines airport security for injured and disabled veterans.
Gabbard, referring to President Kennedy's call to action, said we serve by stepping outside of the "safe boxes that we have created in our own lives and looking outward." Looking outside ourselves, she said, "enables us to see past the boundaries that often set limitations in our own lives and creates opportunities to be impactful in ways we could never imagine."
The New Frontier Awards were created in 2004 by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and the Institute of Politics to honor Americans under the age of 40 who have made special contributions through their public service. Past honorees have included U.S. Senator Cory Booker in 2008 and Wendy Kopp, founder and CEO of Teach for America, in 2004.

HP steps up its game in data protection
HP boxes up Microsoft Data Protection Manager; OEMs database archiving software from OuterBay and remote backup software from Asigra for electronic vaulting service.
This Article Covers
Backup software
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) has unveiled a handful of new products that address data protection requirements, raising its game another notch in the storage marketplace.
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The first of five products includes the HP ProLiant DL 100 G2 and ProLiant DL 380 G4 Data Protection Storage Servers (DPSS), built around Microsoft's Data Protection Manager (DPM) and Windows Storage Server 2003 products.
Windows Storage Server 2003 and DPM offer users a NAS box with disk-based backup built in. Microsoft DPM can take a volume-level snapshot every hour of Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers only. Microsoft refers to this feature as "near continuous data protection."
Greg Schulz, senior analyst at the Evaluator Group, agreed that for many customers, this kind of bundled offering is ideal. "It's great if you can't afford a dedicated system administrator and you don't need to do much customization." He added, "It's not going to be for everyone as it doesn't support all platforms and doesn't provide file-level changes." One user familiar with HP DPSS sees a definite advantage in buying all the pieces from one vendor.
"HP offers better support than Microsoft; it's faster and we cut out the red tape," said Vallerie Shelton, senior director of information technology at Kroenke Sports Enterprises LLC.
Kroenke was using disk-based backup product InfiniSAN to back up a mix of 35 NT and Windows 2003 servers. However, this product is being discontinued. Kroenke expects to use DPSS to back up eight remote sites in the Denver area. "[Before DPSS] we were doing one copy a day, so this is a great improvement over that and the end-user restore feature is useful for when our accounting group loses files … They are savvy enough to deal with it themselves," Shelton said.
HP builds on OEM strategyAt its StorageWorks conference in May, HP announced a string of OEM deals that have enabled the company to leapfrog into new markets. A virtual tape library from Sepaton Inc., a NAS gateway from PolyServe Inc. and a WAN accelerator from Riverbed Technology Inc., were first on the list.
The announcements this week build on that strategy. HP's new Electronic Vaulting Service uses Asigra Inc.'s agentless remote backup software to send offsite data to an HP Recovery Center for protection and retention purposes. A single-instance feature and compression capability means that users who don't have expensive leased lines can use dial-up speeds to send their data, HP's Goepel said. The service will be priced on a per gigabyte per month basis. HP declined to give details on the pricing.
An OEM deal with Outerbay Technologies Inc. provides HP with file migration and database archiving software. HP File Migration Agent enables users to create policies to maintain active files on high-performance storage and migrate inactive files to cheaper storage. The software can migrate data to NAS, HP's Reference Information Storage System, tape or to non-HP devices, the company said.
HP StorageWorks Reference Information Manager for database archiving is an active archiving product that automates data retention policies and simplifies management of large, complex databases, HP said. Data that's used infrequently is migrated out of the database, improving the response time of the application and lowering operational costs, according to the company.
"It's good that HP feels it doesn't have to invent everything as it means they can get to market quickly with new products," Evaluator Group's Schulz said. "But they should also be careful they don't end up with a Chinese menu of products to resell as that adds cost and overhead."
HP has also improved the performance of its VTL system from Sepaton, dubbed HP 6000 Virtual Library System. The latest version supports 40 terabytes (TB) up from 10 TB and throughput of 577 Mbps vs. 400 Mbps in the older product.

Wireless technology NFC still has a ways to go
NEW YORK -- In ads comparing its Galaxy S III with the iPhone 5, Samsung is claiming superiority for features its flagship handset has that Apple's smartphone lacks. NFC is on the list.
Never mind that very few people even know what NFC means in this context -- hint: It has nothing to do with the National Football Conference of the NFL -- much less whether they'll benefit by having it, or somehow miss the boat because of its absence.
NFC stands for Near Field Communication, and it is "short-range" wireless technology that can be applied in various ways. For example, folks with NFC phones can tap similarly equipped devices to exchange contact information, music or other files. NFC can be used to communicate with "smart tags" that may appear on product posters. And it can be used to help you buy stuff in stores just by tapping your phone.
The technology has been mostly under the radar for nearly a decade but has been getting a little bit more notice lately because of the high-profile companies lending it support.
Google is embracing NFC as a key technology component in the Google Wallet mobile payment initiative for which the search giant is trying to drum up enthusiasm, so far with little to show for it. The same goes for the nascent Isis Mobile Wallet, whose founders are AT&T, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless.
The online payment space is complex and fragmented. Getting people to change behavior and pay with phones, instead of the plastic credit cards they've used for years, is daunting. Even if they're willing to pay by phone, technology alternatives exist that don't involve NFC.
Still, more high-visibility devices are embedding NFC chips. It's true of the Galaxy S III and other Android phones and tablets, from the likes of HTC, LG and Motorola. NFC is also turning up in some Windows Phones and BlackBerrys.
Where you won't see it is in the iPhone 5, and judging by early iPhone 5 sales -- 5 million last weekend -- most consumers don't give a hoot. Should they? The short answer depends on what NFC offers that you can't do otherwise. On the surface, there doesn't appear to be much.
NFC, at least when it comes to mobile payments, poses a gigantic infrastructure problem. Only a few point-of-sale terminals can handle NFC, and merchants would have to devote time and money to change that. While they might do so, it's equally plausible that they won't. For its part, Apple is pushing the Passbook wallet app, still in its infancy. Apple says: "Passbook is the simplest way to get all of your passes organized in one easy-to-access place, and there are already lots of apps that support Passbook for things like movie tickets, Major League baseball, airline boarding passes and retail store loyalty cards."
Oren Betzaleli, an executive vice president at Retalix, an Israeli company that provides software and services for the retail industry, estimates that wide deployment of NFC infrastructure is four to five years away. Some of his customers have no interest in ever deploying the technology. "One of the questions retailers are asking themselves is, how soon will commodity phones get NFC? I think the answer is not very soon," Betzaleli says.
Tech industry analyst Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies says NFC is "irrelevant" for the masses: "Many common-use cases with NFC can be done with an Internet connection and Wi-Fi," he says. "NFC is still a solution in search of a problem."
That's not to say there aren't some clever and convenient things you can do with NFC. The improved Android Beam feature on Google's Jelly Bean flavor of the Android mobile operating system lets you share pictures and YouTube videos by touching two NFC-capable phones back-to-back. What's on your screen will be beamed to the other phone.
Some third-party apps have integrated Android Beam. BBC News for Android lets you instantly share a story by tapping, Foursquare lets you share restaurant information, and Shazam lets you share music and TV tags. The similar S Beam feature on Samsung devices lets you exchange a 40-megabyte file with another Samsung phone in less than 10 seconds.
Samsung will also soon start selling a Bluetooth wireless headset that can be paired with a phone via NFC just by tapping the two devices.
NFC Forum director Debbie Arnold says the companies that are members of the organization represent more than 70% of the global market for smartphones. "That says a lot," she maintains.
But what really speaks volumes is that fact that Apple, at least for now, is giving NFC the cold shoulder.

Chip Giants Struggle to Break Into Cars
Hyundai Motor's 2015 Genesis luxury sedan is brimming with semiconductors that do everything from automatic braking to detecting blind spots. Chips pop open the trunk when they sense the owner's arms are full and sniff for carbon dioxide to determine if the cabin needs more fresh air. The companies that pioneered semiconductors for use in computers and phones produce few of the thousands of microprocessors in the Genesis. Intel contributed only a handful, and Qualcomm just one chipset; Nvidia chips don't even make the list.
Those three companies are struggling to break into the market for automotive chips, which is projected to grow 6.1 percent this year, to $27.9 billion, says researcher IHS. The cost of the semiconductors inside a new car model averages $329 per vehicle, according to a June 23 report by Bloomberg Industries; by comparison, the chips inside the iPhone 5 add up to less than $20. The business of supplying chips to automakers is dominated by a small group of manufacturers whose relationships with their customers go back years: The top five—Renesas Electronics, Infineon Technologies, STMicroelectronics, Denso, and Freescale Semiconductor—have almost 43 percent of the market, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Industries. Intel, Qualcomm, and Nvidia don't even figure in the top 10.
For newcomers, one barrier to entry is the car industry's safety and reliability standards, which far exceed those for computers or phones. Chips in consumer electronics are designed so they don't fail more than 10 percent of the time; for autos the rate is zero, according to a 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers study of the semiconductor industry. "We don't get a beta test with our products—they have to work from the first one," says Mike O'Brien, Hyundai's U.S.-based vice president of product planning. "We can't say, 'Oops, we didn't do that right.' "
In autos, integrated circuits also have to withstand temperatures as low as -40C or as high as 160C. And because the life of a car is measured in decades, suppliers can't retire a part after only one year, as Qualcomm often does with the chips it makes for smartphones. "Experience in automotive is something that you don't grow in one day," says Luca De Ambroggi, an analyst at IHS.
In-vehicle technology is the top selling point for 39 percent of car buyers today, vs. the 14 percent who say their first consideration is traditional performance measures, such as power and speed, according to a study released by consulting firm Accenture in December. Consumers expect their cars to improve at the same rate as their smartphones, tablets, and laptops, but it can take years to work out the kinks in some of the automated driver-assistance features. Hyundai's O'Brien says that when the company began developing a laser-and-camera-guided system to help drivers go in reverse, the technology initially couldn't tell the difference between obstacles and steep driveways.
Executives at Intel, Qualcomm, and Nvidia say they are making inroads into the car chips market. During its most recent earnings call, Nvidia told analysts that automotive is the fastest-growing segment of its mobile business—and will stay that way for the future. A demonstration version of Audi's A7 sedan running Nvidia's Tegra processor drove itself onto the stage at the chipmaker's annual conference in March. "Ultimately, every car is going to have a supercomputer," says Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director of automotive.
Qualcomm, which dominates the market for chips that go into smartphones, says it's racked up tens of millions of orders for wireless modems from automakers. Kanwalinder Singh, senior vice president of business development, expects that by 2017 as many as 60 percent of cars will have cellular connections, up from about 10 percent today. The company is working on chipsets that perform multiple functions for cars, including cellular connections. "We are building this in steps," Singh says. "We understand it takes a lot of effort in the nascent stage."
Intel counts BMW, Hyundai, and Infiniti, the luxury arm of Nissan Motor, among its customers and, on June 25, unveiled a research partnership with Ford Motor to explore new applications for connected cars. Intel's automotive revenue jumped 65 percent in 2013 but amounted to only $51 million, according to VDC Research. Elliot Garbus, Intel's vice president of automotive solutions, says the company plans to develop functions that track movements inside the cabin, so a driver could adjust the air conditioning or the stereo volume with a simple hand gesture. Garbus says the opportunities for chipmakers will grow as innovative features trickle down from luxury vehicles into lower-priced models. "My objective is to drive this into volume," Garbus says. "We need to drive it into entry-level vehicles."

I have a question on tenancy agreement. By law if the tenancy is fixed-term (e.g., 6 months fixed followed by flexible time) the landlord needs to give the tenant two months' notice to end the agreement. But in my case, I have the written agreement with the tenant that either of us can end the tenancy as long as one month's notice is given. Both of us signed the agreement.
Does this mean that mutual agreement between two parties won't come into effect if it is conflicted with the law? If this is true, why should I draft the agreement? I just need a standard copy of the tenancy agreement.

adapter for 5.5 bolt pattern
I'm wanting the following set of rims. However, the bolt pattern the offer for the 18's is 5.5, 150mm. Is there an adapter i can get in order for these rims to fit?
Re: adapter for 5.5 bolt pattern
That rim has a zero offset, the stock rims are 56.4. It would make the tire sit out past the fender wells as is, most quality wheel adapters are 1.5" putting the tires out way to far.
Re: adapter for 5.5 bolt pattern
Thanks for your reply. Sucks because i really liked these... They offer them in a 17' with the bolt pattern i need, but i really wanted them in 18's. Thanks again for your response.

I can only say that for me, relaxers didn't hold my hair well. It never stayed straight after the first wash... and it was like -ish frizzy waves (on a good day), if not a terrible puff ball (without my brushing it).
Actually, now that I think about it, because the relaxer was not very straightening, around the 3rd year transitioning, my hair was a 3b-ish pattern. Upon growing it ish completely out, it was basically 3c ringlets. And no, you can't predict your pattern usually until you have a least a few inches of growth. I have a lot of hair, and keep on growing more layers (it's weird like that), so my entire bottom layer while I was transitioning was 3c ringlets... which is how I knew it would end up...
And I wore my hair in pony tails, down, in braids, etc. Just be kind to the new hair that's growing in (I wasn't). Try to figure out what your hair likes, doesn't like, etc, and change that accordingly.
You can wear anything you want to, just be mindful of what your hair likes and can handle.
Too much styling can damage the hair (like, consistent use of braids, and styles that pull the hair from your scalp), especially if it's not well-moisturized.
Which brings me to my next piece of advice:
Make sure to moisturize! Leave-ins will probably become your best friends. Granted, I hadn't really gone cone-free then, so my hair was kind of limp and very unhappy at me (It much prefers a CG/mod-CG regimen with no cones..)
Also, I thought this was fairly obvious, but transitioning does require you stop getting relaxers... Your hair will also be extremely try in that state (most likely), so definitely do a deep treatment (DT) ASAP.

We are so sorry it has taken so long to say goodbye. Bubba lost his battle with blastomycosis in March. We will forever miss his smile, his energy, and his love.
Thank You all who supported up thru this trauma. We are forever grateful.
dingo and Oakie are other two cairns are healthy and strong and still chasing everything that moves. They two miss thier long runs with Bubba as the leader.
Farewell, Bubba..your the BEST!!
Mommy, Daddy, Dingo and Oakie
My name is Bubba. This is the first time I have been here but you can visit my daily progess http://www.cairnterrier.org/ I am under the forum for "blatomycosis"
Yes, that me. I am very sick. The UW Hosptial in Madison took me in and place din in their ICU for over a week. I almost died, but they all believed I was a fighter. They said I had the worst case of Blasto they have ever seen.
What is blasto? Oh its a dogs and a humans worse nightmare. It is a spore thats found in the soil that you inhale. Once in your system, if you dont catch the symptoms...you will enivatbly die. I didnt die, but the IV medication they had to put me on almost killed me. It made my kidneys bad, it enlarged my liver, and I had tempertures everyday. I couldnt breath ...it was as if someone was laying on my chest..so they kept me in the oxygen tent. I didnt see my mommy and dad for along while..but when they finally came and I=got me they looked scared. I was no longer 18bls of pure energy and life..I was a 14 lbs weak, frail and boney pup whose big eyes looked hallow and sad. They cried alot over me. Although my mommyis a nurse she knew how bad I was from her training. And that didnt help. when they took me home I had a central line, IV fluids that needed to be adminsitered and more Amphotec B, I IV medication that would make me soooo sick. Mommy tried real hard with all of the shots and iv stuff. But that night I suddenly took a turn for the worse. I was hypoxic, I couldnt breath, I was panicky and I couldnt lay down. Mom called the UW whcih is THREE hours away..and since we live in the country we dont have a vet close by. The docter said I had probably thrown a clot..in my lungs..prognosis was poor. I would probably die in 24 hours.
Monring came though. My parents hadnt slept..they wept next to me all night praying to god. But I got up...and went outside slowly and peed. They suddenly were so happy for me! I was weak though. And my breathing remained bad.
Well...it has been another week and I cannot say anything has changed. I threw another clot...and they removed the central line. I have no viens left, and the local vet thought it may be getting close to "that tiime". But I kept fooling everyone. I really want to get outside and run again. So I think Im gonna keep fighting. The last three nights I sat up all night. I was so exhausted I almost tipped over. My chest hurt bad..I dont know why..and neither did my mommy. They couldnt stand watching me not sleep...it was painful for them. Finally they got one more lab test and founf out my pancreas enzymes were elveated. But now that mommy and daddy spent all of their money on me..they dont have any resources to keep helping for my care...
I am hanging in there. My mommy is keeping me NPO, and giving me subq IV fluids underneth my skin herself. She hates poking me twice a day with the needle, but she knows I am very dehydrated and this will help me. She gives me pain shots to help me sleep at night..but she is awfully afraid that all of our supplies are almost gone..and then..we dont know what we will do.
We have tried to talk to the UW about pating off the over 7,000 dollers and vet bill to them alone in payments..but I dont understand..they dont care...
Daddy gets up now to work at 4;30 am and doesnt stop till 9pm at night.mommy is trying to go to thehospital to work but she is only parttime..and she needs to keep giving me shots through the day to save me
Everyone at the cairn site is trying to help..one girl even is selling some jewlry on ebay for me..I guess we are praying for miracles since I keep fooling everyone and rallying for a second round!
I wont give up on anyone but I need help bad...very bad..I cant go on and live without it
Anyone who read smy diary..please..if you can...donate ...right now we need prayers..but we really need money..that sounds so harsh..but society has put us in this place..we are applying for imom aid but I dont knwo if the UW wiill work with them..in the meantime I need things like IV fluids..needles..syringes..maxcal food, antibiotics..lab work twice a week, vet visits almost daily...
My mommys address is email@example.com
But I urge you to go to the cairn site..this is where my whole story is
Thank you!!!!
I will keep fighting!

Experts uncover genes that may be linked to leprosy
By Tan Ee Lyn
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Genes may explain why some people are more susceptible than others to leprosy, an extensive study in China published in the New England Journal of Medicine appears to have found.
The study found mutations of seven genes which appear to increase a person's susceptibility to leprosy, which is in sharp contrast to what experts have believed for a long time - that the disease is not congenital, or inherited.
"All along, people thought it was caused (only) by an infectious agent but our study found it is influenced by genetics. If a parent has the disease, it is highly likely that the child will develop the disease," one of the researchers Zhang Furen at the Shandong Provincial Institute of Dermatology and Venereology in northeast China said by telephone.
"What is interesting is that between couples, if one has the disease, the other remains uninfected for decades ... so how can this (strictly) be an infectious disease? Maybe this disease has to do with inheritability."
"What we found was that apart from the infectious agent, there is an internal reason, we found seven (susceptibility) genes ... it may have a lot to do with genetics (inherited susceptibility)," Zhang told Reuters.
The finding may have similar implications for other germs belonging to the family, like the bug that causes tuberculosis - which killed 1.8 million people last year.
The experts analyzed genes of 706 leprosy patients and 1,225 others without the disease, and mutant versions of the seven genes turned up consistently in those who had the disease. The participants were ethnic Chinese from eastern China.
Five of the genes appear to be involved in regulating the human immune system, said the researchers from China and Singapore. Continued...

The thirteenth installment of Patrick O'Brian's hugely successful Aubrey/Maturin series.
Don't miss the rest of the Aubrey/Maturin series.
©1989 Patrick O'Brian; (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC
"The best historical novels ever written." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Perhaps the best one I've heard"
It would be difficult to single out one Aubrey/Maturin series novel that shines above the rest, but _The Thirteen Gun Salute_ would definitely be a candidate. Perhaps it is because I have read or listened to all but one of the previous books in the series, and can therefore feel as though I know O'Brian's characters on a level of great familiarity, but I do not think so. This book represents O'Brian at the top of his game, with humor and wit at an all-time high. Patrick Tull, as always, delivers a great performance.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"Great Story"
Patrick Tull makes the story come alive. One feels as if they are part of the crew. When listening I could smell the sea and feel the movement of the ship. Love Stephens excitment over the wildlife and fauna of the land and sea. O'Brian's stories always take me off to read more about the time and story he is writing about. I disagree with some of the other reviewer that felt they could not distinguish between the characters in the story. I could hear the difference and he has kept the various ones consistent from book to book.
"Fantastic Book - Fantastic Narration"
I've been listening to audio books for close on 25 years and Patrick Tull takes the art to perhaps its highest level. When I think of Jack Aubrey, I hear Tull's booming but subtle Hampshire tones. When I think of Stephen Maturin, I hear Tull's nuanced Dublin brogue. I lose myself entirely in his characterization. The performance is only to be surpassed by O'Brian's masterful, detailed, entirely believable world created by some of the best prose since Jane Austen. Tull's reading and O'Brian's prose are a powerful cocktail, capable of suspending anyone's disbelief. I drink it often and gladly.
"The best narrator at his best"
I have listened with joy to every Aubrey/Maturin novel thus far and all read by Patrick Tull. The man continues his phenomenal performance in this 13th audio novel. I had the misfortune of listening to book four in the series read by an another narrator and it lost all the love I had for the characters and the series. So, then I found the book read by Mr. Tull and stuck with his narration ever since. Patrick Tull masterfully portrays each character and keeps them individual throughout the series. His Aubrey and Maturin are ideal to the image in my mind. Tull's Jack Aubrey makes Russell Crowe a pale shadow of the character.
"The Thirteen Gun Salute"
I have read all the Aubrey/Maturin books, but prefer the audiobook format, but if, and only if, Patrick Tull is the narrator. I have heard other narrators of O'Brian's work. They are not the same. The author's work having been already done, the narrator is the most important part of the product. Kim Johnson
Brit in Exile
"Great Story, Excellent Narration"
This continues to represent the finest example of historical fiction I have read. The characters have been formed over many volumes and they continue to develop and interest throughout.
Stephen Maturin has to be my favorite character, his quicky irish deference, addiction to tincture of laudanum and his faithful yet honest relationship with Jack Aubrey is a revelation.
All of Patrick Tull's readings of this series are excellent. I cannot for the life of my understand the criticisms of his narration. I see people writing that they cannot distinguish characters and don't enjoy his unique voice. For me, he is the voice of Master and Commander, almost speaking from the 19th century and I would not dream of listening to this series with anyone else - I have read every book so far and one of the things I look forward to most is the fascinating intonation and cadence of Patrick's voice. I particularly like the Irish Maturin diffidence and low cadence whenever he expresses disdain or disagreement with his friend Aubrey.
Its fine as it is
Great series - very consistent and hugely enjoyable.
"History comes alive!"
Thirteen-Gun Salute is a marvelous book for travel or to keep you company while you do mindless work (like ironing) Patrick Tull is one of my favorite readers, and his ability to differentiate characters without using phony "voices" is brilliant. The Patrick O'Brian books are an entertaining education.
I like the way that Jack's essential integrity is rewarded.
I love Jack - big, bluff, and brave. He's a human-sized hero and so very believable.
"Always incredible"
I have treasured every volume, having read each of them until this, volume 13. It was unfortunate that the narrator's cadence and creation of individual voices was at times distracting and difficult to understand. Overall however, it is hard to put a black mark on a Patrick O'Brian novel. Recommend.
"Brilliant book well matched with best reader TULL"
Vivid writing, fascinating characters and situations. Patrick Tull is without equal as a reader. No-one else comes near.
I read this entire series while living aboard a small sail boat, loved them. Couldn't wait to get the next one! Even better listening to Patrick Tull! It is like having a daily visit to my grandfather to hear his tales. I love his voice and the way he reads the story.

U.S. Marine Faces Less-Than-Honorable Discharge After Criticizing Obama on Facebook
Tiffany Kaiser
April 9, 2012 9:36 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: boston.com)
A Marine review board has recommended the dismissal
A United States Marine may be dismissed from the military for posting negative comments about U.S. President Barack Obama on Facebook.
Gary Stein, 26, a meteorologist at Camp Pendleton, posted on Facebook that he refused to follow orders given by Obama. These
comments were posted on a Facebook page
called the Armed Forces Tea Party.
This isn't Stein's first bout of trouble in the military. The Marine, who has served almost nine years including a tour of duty in Iraq, also got in trouble for comments that he posted on the Armed Forces Tea Party page back in 2010. At that point, he was simply told to put a disclaimer on the page saying that it was in no way affiliated with the U.S. military.
But this time, the Marines believe Stein has gone too far. After posting that he refused to follow Obama's orders, Stein later removed the comments saying that he meant only unlawful orders.
Now, a Marine Corps review board has ruled that Stein should be dismissed with a less-than-honorable discharge for his Facebook comments. This decision came after a 13-hour hearing and one hour deliberation by the board.
This recommendation will be sent to Brigadier General Daniel Yoo, who is commanding general of the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot. He is then expected to make a decision regarding Stein's fate within 30 days.
The Marines are taking Stein's actions very seriously, considering the fact that Marines take an oath to defend the Constitution and obey the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which means Marines cannot partake in political activities while in uniform.
Stein was due to either re-enlist or end his enlistment at the end of July.
This particular case is just another reminder that social media is being watched very closely by overheads such as employers and schools. For instance, employees and applicants at the Maryland Department of Corrections were
forced to hand over their Facebook emails and passwords
so that employers could take a look at their employees' private lives. Later, the government simply asked employees to log into their Facebook pages right in front of them. In addition, an Indiana high school student was recently
expelled for posting foul language on Twitter
, even though he supposedly tweeted it from home.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Matt. 6:21-23 delivers the 1st of 2 illustrations that drive home the point being made in v. 21 - what we focus upon and value most has controlling power. Your interests always follow your investments.
Here our Lord challenges us with a good reason why we should not live as if this world is all that exists and all that really matters.
This sermon is part 3 of 4 from Matthew 6:19-24 - Treasuring True Treasures.
The words in our text (Philippians 4:21-23) are far more than just mere expressions of "My friends say hello to you" or "Say hello to everybody for me" as Paul concludes his epistle to them. What we have are evidences of The Triumph of the Gospel - concluding words of encouragement for the Philippians to reflect upon the gospel, the effects it has had on them and other believers, and to live in the power of that gospel.
The dramatic changes evidenced in their lives had begun by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (v. 23) and would be sustained by that same grace. Whether at 1st century Philippi or Rome, The Triumph of the Gospel was evident and it can be in our 21st century lives as well.
This message is the first of two parts.
The previous message highlighted the meaning of "glory" in our text this morning. This message builds upon that and highlights the fact that God is the focal point of glory because of the privileged relationship that Grace has established between the sinner and Himself as Father and because of the purpose for man's existence which God has revealed. Furthermore, this glory is unending and all encompassing for the believer. And like Paul, each believer can exclaim "May it be so!"
Listen to the exposition of this passage that challenges the believer to live life "S.D.G." (Soli Deo Gloria - To the glory of God alone.)
The truth expressed in our passage of Scripture not only gripped the Apostle Paul but it also equipped him with a peaceful assurance: He had Christ not only for eternal life in Heaven but for the present life as well. And as he lived life on earth, He did so with the certainty that he could do anything and everything that lay in the path of God's will for his life--including the learning of contentment.
Philippians 4:13 reveals three truths about the person of Christ that ought to change our thinking and living as we bring those truths to bear upon the circumstances we face in life. Until we are gripped by and equipped with these truths, we fail to know the key to "Christ-empowered living."

Monday Recruitin' Races To First
Cole Commits, Plans To Enroll Early
Michigan's BBQ at the Big House proved a success even before meat hit grill when Saginaw Heritage WR/DB Brian Cole committed to the Wolverines on Saturday, becoming the ninth commit in the 2015 class and giving U-M a big head-to-head win over MSU for the top-ranked player in the state. Multiple outlets report that Cole will start out as a slot receiver in Doug Nussmeier's system, though with his size and athleticism he'll likely move around the formation a bit.
Cole didn't head into his weekend visit with plans to commit, but he told MLive's Nick Baumgardner the visit changed his mind:
"But everything felt right, everything felt like home," the Saginaw Heritage football star said Saturday. "This morning, I just felt it. Instead of wasting time going to the other schools, I just wanted to end it. This just felt like the place I wanted to be."
Fellow Saginaw native Roy Manning played a huge role in Cole's commitment—in the same article, Cole said "it seemed like I've known him my whole life." While the jury's obviously still out on Manning as a cornerbacks coach, there's no question he's a heck of a recruiter.
Cole also plans to enroll early, which should assuage fears that his commitment won't stick. His pledge moved Michigan up to fifth in the Big Ten (#29 nationally) in the 247 Composite team rankings, even though the Wolverines are tied for the fewest number of commits in the conference. Michigan's average prospect rating is best in the conference and sixth nationally, behind only Alabama, USC, Texas A&M, UCLA, and Florida.
#BBQMaizeRace Produces Leader: Michigan
Could Marcus Lewis (second from L) join Garrett Taylor (back) in the Michigan secondary? (photo via Taylor)
Michigan added some excitement to the BBQ this year with the introduction of the #bbqmaizerace, in which the recruits on campus were split into teams and had to run around campus, Amazing Race-style, to take photos at various campus landmarks. The race played out on Twitter, which proved to be an excellent recruiting tactic—at least one major target who wasn't in attendance took notice of the new twist on a campus tour:

— Keisean South (@KLSouth16) July 27, 2014
The event also made a major impact on the prospects in Ann Arbor, of course, especially 2015 four-star DC CB Marcus Lewis, who entered the weekend as a Florida commit. Lewis struck up a friendship with fellow corner Garrett Taylor, and after the visit he made it pretty clear he could see himself lining up across from Taylor in the future, per Sam Webb ($):
"Garrett Taylor… by far I definitely connected with him the most," he said. "We spent a lot of time together. (We) just did different things and talked about different stuff. He is a good kid. We didn't always talk about football. We talked about school... just different types of things. You could tell he is a really good kid, so we're definitely going to get along."
That last statement may not be a slip of the tongue. While Lewis hasn't yet made a final decision on which school he'll ultimately attend, he has made a decision about where Michigan now stands on his list.
"They're definitely high," Lewis said of the Maize & Blue. "They're at the top. They're right at the top."
Lewis told Webb that Michigan, Oregon, and Miami are now the three schools he plans to take official visits to—in fact, that's his new top three, in order, per 247's Ryan Bartow($)—and "that will probably be it" before he makes a fall decision. Unsurprisingly, given the above, it didn't take Lewis long to end his commitment to Florida:
#Michigan target Marcus Lewis officially de-commits from Florida.
— Clint Brewster (@clintbrew247) July 28, 2014
Even if a commitment isn't imminent—Lewis told 247 that he wants to take his officials before making another pledge—Michigan looks to be in really good shape here.
That may not be the case with three-star Detroit King OLB Tyriq Thompson, who was considered by most insiders as a Michigan State lean heading into his BBQ visit. If that's true, Michigan looks like they'll be runners-up in this particular race, per GBW's Kyle Bogenschutz ($):
"(Michigan is in the) same position as before I guess," Thompson said.
"I've been thinking about everything (with my recruitment) these past couple days," Thompson added.
Asked directly if he feels ready to make a decision and knows where he wants to go to school, Thompson answered swiftly.
"Yes," he said.
While it was encouraging that Thompson made it to the BBQ before he announced his decision—a date/time hasn't been set yet, but one should come soon—either Michigan was in much better shape than most thought or he's headed to State.
Michigan did come out of the weekend still looking very strong for NC four-star SDE Darian Roseboro, who'll decide in about a month, as well as LA three-star WDE Jalen Bates, who told Webb that Michigan is "definitely" in his top five now ($).
BBQ: Weber Makes The Trip
In an encouraging sign for Michigan, Cass Tech RB Mike Weber took an early flight back from an unofficial to USC in order to make the BBQ. Weber pulled in a Trojans offer while out west, and they'll be a factor in his recruitment moving forward, as they made the top five list he gave GBW's Josh Newkirk after the BBQ ($):
After his visit to Michigan on Sunday, where does U-M stand in his recruitment?
"I would say they are still in my top-five," Weber said of the Wolverines. He said Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin and USC round out his top-five.
Tennessee had previously been in his top five; the other four schools remain the same. While USC could definitely be a threat, the feeling surrounding Weber's recruitment is still that this is a Michigan-MSU battle, and the Wolverines seem to be building some serious momentum.
The Trojans already made a serious mark on Michigan recruiting last weekend, as they landed the consensus top player in the state's 2016 class, four-star Orchard Lake St. Mary's linebacker Daelin Hayes. Hayes received his USC offer while on an unofficial visit and jumped on it immediately.
BBQ: 2016 Commit Watch?
2016 Philadelphia (PA) Timber Creek four-star WR Cameron Chambers spent the weekend in Ann Arbor, and following the visit he's ready to make a decision, per 247's Steve Lorenz:
2016 Top100 wide receiver Cameron Chambers confirmed to Wolverine247 that he will release a top five on Monday and then will make his college decision on Friday.
Ohio State was considered the favorite heading into the visit, but the timing of the announcement—right after Chambers spent two days in Ann Arbor—is encouraging for Michigan. He announced his top five today and both schools made the cut, along with Alabama, Michigan State, and Wisconsin.
BBQ: Cass Tech Updates
Four-star Cass Tech DL/OL Michael Onwenu almost missed the trip to Ann Arbor, but thankfully his coaches and teammates knew he'd be getting good news and lit up his phone, per The Wolverine's Tim Sullivan ($):
"I was actually asleep, and I had forgotten I was supposed to go to Michigan today," he said. "Since Coach Crowell and the other guys [Donovan Peoples-Jones, LaVert Hill, and Mike Weber] blew up my phone I had an idea the offer was coming."
"The offer is for DL," he said. "Coach Hoke offered personally, and wants me to play the nose. He said I did great at the camp. I was light in my feet and my burst and strength is amazing. Even though he said that, I thought I could've done better.
As someone who once slept through a midterm because I confused the dates... I know that feel, Michael.
Michigan offered Onwenu's teammate—and the younger brother of current U-M S Delano Hill—four-star CB Lavert Hill last week, and he told Wiltfong he had a "great time" at the BBQ ($). Ohio State also joined the fray with an offer last week, though confidence is high that Michigan will land Hill sooner or later.
Joining Onwenu and Hill—as well as Weber—on campus was standout 2017 Cass Tech WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, who should turn into one of the state's top prospects in his class. While Michigan hasn't yet put forth an offer, Ohio State, Miami (YTM), Penn State, and a few others already have.
BBQ: More 2016 Reactions
Michigan also got a major in with top-50 2016 WI OT Ben Bredeson, arguably the most coveted lineman in the Midwest, when his older brother Jack committed to the baseball program while both visited campus over the weekend. Ben told 247's Steve Wiltfong that the family trip to Ann Arbor was a great one:
"We are really excited [about Jack's commitment]," Bredeson said.
The football staff at Michigan was excited to see the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Bredeson back on campus, and no question they were pumped about the elder Bredeson committing to the school. It certainly can't hurt their chances with Ben, who had another positive experience in Ann Arbor.
"It was amazing as usual," Bredeson said. "I love coming here."
Michigan will get plenty of competition from Ohio State and Wisconsin, but only one of those schools has Bredeson's brother headed their way—we'll see how big a factor that plays as Ben's recruitment moves forward.
Another top-50 overall prospect, IL SDE Josh King, told Wiltfong that the trip was "amazing" and surpassed any of his previous visits ($):
King has been on a few visits to places like Iowa and Notre Dame but this was his favorite trip thus far.
"I'd have to say so," King started in. "The coaches were real. It seemed like the place to be. Just the overall experience."
Michigan also made inroads with a pair of four-star 2016 Indiana prospects. Four-star DE Auston Robertson pulled in an offer while at the BBQ, then gave his reaction to Wiltfong:
"Man it was great I got the offer," Robertson told 247Sports after leaving campus. He made the trip with friend, fellow 2016 four-star and major Michigan target in Top100 receiver Austin Mack.
"I love the coaching staff, but I'm going to stay humble and wait everything out with Austin."
Mack, who earned an offer earlier this summer at Michigan's camp, told Scout's Allen Trieu that 2016 U-M QB commit Messiah deWeaver is "my dude" and discussed the possibility of playing with Robertson at the next level ($):
"Yeah it's something that's definitely a key factor. We'd love to. Right now I'm talking with other schools to talk to him. We will work together to see if it's the right thing for us to do but we would love the opportunity to play together, so we'll see how that goes."
Package deals fall through more often than not, but for now this gives Michigan a solid recruiting pitch for both Robertson and Mack.
Four-star IL OLB TUF BORLAND also was in attendance at the BBQ, and while his offer list—Illinios and UMass—doesn't yet match his rankings, he feels that Michigan could help change that soon, per Sullivan ($):
"The visit went well," he said. "They said that they were really excited to have me up there, and they're really close to offering. They just said to keep doing what I'm doing, and that they'll be around my school soon."
Borland has been to U-M multiple times and only plans on visiting Illinois before his junior season begins; the Wolverines would have a very good shot with him if an offer comes through.
BBQ: 2017 (AHHHH) Update
2017 OLSM LB Josh Ross isn't getting pressured to commit yet, according to his father, but based on the vibe he gets in Ann Arbor it'd be a surprise if he didn't eventually suit up in Maize and Blue, per Allen Trieu ($):
"It's almost to the point come to those deals, especially Coach Mattison, we always see him, we always talk. We don't get into too much depth, just little stuff. Everybody comments on his size (6-2, 210) because the dude is so much bigger. Looking at him and he looks like somebody else, he doesn't look like my kid."
"It's like home up there," [father James Ross Sr.] added. "Not to say that's how we'll go with it, but with that group of guys up there, there's no pressure. It's family. It's how they do it. It's always laid back. They know and respect what kind of athlete he is."
Despite Daelin Hayes' commitment to USC, Ross is the reason I'll be scouting games at a blood-red field for the next few seasons.
Everything Non-BBQ
Happy trails to three-star 2015 Cass Tech DL Joshua Alabi, who committed to Ohio State at their Friday Night Lights event over the weekend. While Michigan offered Alabi relatively early in the process, mutual interest between the two seemed to wane over the last several months.
While 2015 NC DE Kengera Daniel didn't end up making the BBQ, he told Scout's Michael Clark that Michigan is one of the schools he's seriously considering ($):
"Right now, the main schools I'm looking at are Tennessee, Michigan, Miami and Alabama," said Kengera Daniel. "Those aren't necessarily my top schools, but those are the schools I've been looking at the hardest. Indiana, Louisville and Kentucky still have a chance, too.
Daniel plans to take all five officials; Michigan is fighting for one of three spots there, as he's already reserving two of those for Tennessee and Alabama.
OT commit Erik Swenson came in at #70 on the initial 2016 Rivals100.
For the love of all things sacred and holy, somebody please do this with a baby wolverine.
Roy Manning strikes again!!
I think its fate that we'd get another OL named Ben Bredeson, already having another one named Ben Braden. It would cause just enough confusion to be anything but a coincidence.
a Brandon Benson
All-Universe Team for best football name.
don't think so, Tim.
Brad Sonbraden?
Or a Gordon Berenson.
It doesn't quite fit the scheme, but it's still got the Double B. The team is starting to sound like a Stan Lee comic book.
This is what I hate about the rankings...they value quantity over quality WAY too much.
Northwestern is above Michigan AND Wisconsin soley based on volume. If you base the rankings on QUALITY, Michigan is clearly #1.
I tend to agree, though quantity is important for any one class, since recruits are lottery tickets.
But given that most teams wind up with 85 scholarships (cough cough Saban), any one year shouldn't matter as much as, say, three-year rolling averages. That way the quantity in one year would be muted by the quantity in another and the average quality would rise to the fore.
Sounds like a Hoke Points to me.
Is including kickers in the ratings. Michigan's class is kick-ass even with the kicker dragging down the average but if kickers were removed for ALL teams, Michigan has the highest average rating in the country other than Bama. It's unbelievable how well the staff is recruiting.
To be fair, we don't know how well this staff recruited until 4-5 years from now. Or to put it another way, rankings are nice and all, but how hard the kid is being recruited by other top teams tells me a lot more. For example, this year, Chris Clark is a big time get and that's regardless of his ranking. Urban and OSU wanted him very badly, ND/MSU roughly the same.
But yeah, I would agree that the staff has done a great job recruiting, considering where M has been since the 2007 season (when these kids M is recruiting were in the 5th grade and thus all they really know is M being not good).
Why shouldn't kickers be included in the rankings?
why are kickers rated so low? Very, very few even get 3*. If kickers are going to get scholarships and be counted in the rankings, shouldn't their ratings be in line with other positions? I know these services like to correlate ratings with pro potential, but kickers are at a big disadvantage in the NFL draft. Teams don't carry backups and their careers are unusually long. That has little to do with their importance to college teams.
1. Love the #BBQMaizeRace thing. Getting the recruits to explore the campus in a fun activiety with each other and take pictures together is brilliant. Kudos to whoever thought that up.
2. I don't follow recruiting a lot, so this is probably more me than anything, but man this feels like the quietist recruiting we have had in a while (not in quality, but in overall coverage). I had no idea they had 9 recruits and as highly ranked as they are. Maybe it's just been the focus on the decommits and the focus on who's next
Very interesting that there is no USC or ND on there. I thought USC was really making a move for him and he has an official to ND planned.
But he may not have ND in his top 5, but may take an official there instead of UCLA, who is close to home. I think before he had supposedly a top 7 or 8 according to most recruiting people, and included ND and USC (who also wouldn't require an official).
I believe the 247 folks said he's cancelling the ND official.
Lucier-South had official visits scheduled to Michigan and Notre Dame, but said the trip to see the Fighting Irish is now off. Instead, his plan is to take official visits to these five programs.
Oregon will undoubtedly compare Lucier-South to Dion Jordan, a similarly lanky defensive end who was chosen with the No. 3 overall selection in the 2013 NFL draft. The Ducks, along with the Gators and Sooners, had consistently been mentioned by Lucier-South as programs in which he held interest. On the outside looking in at the top five are the Texas Longhorns and USC Trojans -- two programs that were also mentioned by Lucier-South, but fell outside his top group.
At this point, Lucier-South has one official visit scheduled -- to Michigan on Oct. 10 -- but he will rack up plenty of frequent flyer miles this fall, traveling to just about every corner of the country to see his finalists.
Kid looked like he genuinely enjoyed himself and the other players. I'd take him, KLS, and Roseboro and call it a day.
You know, I get why people are frustrated with Hoke and Co. Really, I do. But when I see quotes from parents of recruits and the recruits themselves emphasizing things like "family," "respect," and "like home," it makes me damn proud to have this staff coaching the football team and I have faith that this program is in good hands for the foreseeable future. We are going to win and we are going to do it the right way.
The thing of it is is, can you win and do it "the right way" ?
After Hoke proudly announced that all our seniors had graduated, a buckeye troll quickly jumped in with "good thing cuz they haven't won much"...
With the drumbeat to pay players ramping up, including and incessantly on this site, will there even be any way to do anything "the right way" ? One poster in the thread on the board over the weekend even asked why not just have semi-pro teams "affiliated with" universities and do away with the whole "student- athlete" charade.
Who'll know and how will you tell who's doing things the right way?
Obviously. We have 2 good men in charge of our 2 major sports programs. That said he needs to take the Beilein jump, after Beilein emptied his staff and started anew a few years in - from there the bball program took off. No one doubts Hoke's values or integrity. But being realistic he needs to do better with on the field results. It's hard not to root for the guy even if you are not impressed with what the team looked like last year. I hope - like Beilein's teams - whatever the record is this year, the team looks far better from November vs September as it has a lot of players at that age (3 years in the program) where a lot of things that made their head swim earlier go away and they can just play and react.
I'd also say in light of the on field results the staff is recruiting at a fantastic level. As Ace said who knows what Manning is like as a secondary coach but he seems to have filled that role from our coach from the DL who went to Oklahoma perfectly.
Didn't all 3 assistants leave in the same time frame? What is the myth I am missing. Generally when your entire staff leaves within a period of months it's cleaning house. Did theyy all indepedently decide it was time to move on?
Jerry Dunn, John Mahoney both left in April 2010 per this story - Jackson later that year.
In the corporate world "pursue other opportunities" and "want to spend more time with my family" is how CEOs are let go in face saving measures. So it appears 2 of the 3 were "gently pushed" out the door - Jackson shortly after decided to move on to Purdue. Maybe Beilein wanted to keep him and "was pissed" - I don't know enough about it but I'd say 2 of the 3 were let go.
how it all went down, but that is similiar to what Carr used to do. He never really 'fired' anyone, they were encouraged to seek employment somewhere else.
we say they were "promoted to the competition".
I work at a Fortune Top 10 company.
I agree that they were gently pushed out.
I did enjoy the comment about firing Beilein and bringing over the Butler coaching staff and starting over
Well, if Hoke doesn't work out this year, I want Michigan to put some of that money going to all the news sports fields to good use and get Saban up here. Texas will pay $100 million? Michigan will pay $120 million. That will show the college football world Michigan is going to football seriously. That's a signal.
And if Saban's not available, Miles.
I've never understood this line of thought. Winning at all costs isn't the Michigan way. When one decides to pick a team to root for, one should consider such things. Michigan just doesn't work that way, and I hope it never does.
There are 32 NFL teams that operate that way. Pick one. Or pick another college program, if you are into amateur sports. But if you want that sort of coaching, Michigan will always let you down.
The obsession continues...
From his time at MSU, he doesn't necessarily have the warm and fuzzies for the University of Michigan. At some point, more money relative to an already absurd amount of money wouldn't bring him to Michigan. So even if Michigan were to shell out all the cash they have (which they wouldn't), Saben wouldn't come here.
get the Bama people nervous. Then they would up his salary and stay. Saban would have a big smile on his face because he has more money and screwed Michigan.
bbq's every month. Who can argue with its sucess...
Overall these seem like the most likely candidates to finish out 2015 - I am putting them in order of likeliness (guessing)
- Roseboro
- Lewis
- Some OLB not named Thompson
- Wheatley Jr
- Weber
- If not Wheatley maybe another DE ala Bates
I am assuing Thompson is going to MSU per some smoke on MSU boards and these comments today. And KLS is staying out west with Harris headed to OSU.
That would be a pretty phenomenal class considering an 8th place Big 10 finish. Lewis at 6'1 over Crawford at 5'9ish would be IMO an upgrade and major stick save.
Anyone else to put in that list as a >50% chance?
his top schools for a while have seemed to be UM, ND and UCLA. He dropped Notre Dame so unless someone like Oklahoma blows him away with a visit it should come down to us and UCLA.
I think equal distance we blow them away easily, so it'd just be a matter of convincing him and family he'd be better off going that far away from home.
Jim Mora Jr is doing some very impressive things out there at UCLA. They had a lot of freshman starting on OL and still acquitted themselves pretty well - their losses were generally teams they should have lost to and they went into a place like Nebraska and blasted them off the field. They also got the QB we were going after unfortunately earlier this year. That said I am not sure how long he will be there with the NFL calling.
Obviously I have no idea on KLS - it just seems like its going to be difficult to have him come all the way out here when he has 2 suitors a lot closer. We'll see.
Caleb Benenoch who was once committed to MSU was a freshman starter for them on the OL.
Has not even visited Michigan yet. To be in his top group without the benefit of having him on campus leads me to believe it is very possible he may commit once he visits. I believe he is scheduled to attend the PSU game.
1) Lewis, 2) Roseboro, 3) Weber, 4) KLS, 5) Harris, 6) Wheatley, 7) Bilal, 8) Masina
and we have a good shot at all of them, assuming things aren't a disaster on the field. Just one more reason why we need some success this year, particularly against Sparty.
list for George Campbell. Maryland was the only B1G team to make it.
From ESPN
"I've decided to narrow it down to Georgia, Ole Miss, Maryland, UCLA, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Auburn, LSU and Florida State," Campbell said. "I just like all of those schools, they all have great things to offer and I just want to be able to touch the field my freshmen year and hopefully I'll be able to get in the mix at one of those schools."
That's wierd
so distracting
It is interesting that we might end up with Michigan recruits at all of our offensive skill positions: Malzone at QB, Cole at WR, and Weber at RB in this class. When is the last time that happened?
Thanks for the hard work. That is some serious reporting.
Does Hoke pay the obsessive amount of attention on OSU pipeline schools as Meyer pays to Cass Tech? Also, I wonder if it has become a negative for Michigan that a lot of people consider Cass Tech kids locks to UM. i.e. Damon Webb

Best Small Cars for Fall
Slide Show >>
Indeed, J.D. Power & Associates predicts the segment will nearly double, to 1.5% in the next four years. That would make it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry. The model horizon is brimming with new entries from nearly every notable brand. Japanese automakers have prepared a trifecta of tiny cars, all new this year. (Like BusinessWeek.com, J.D. Power is a division of McGraw Hill (MHP).)
Toyota (TM) ditched the poorly selling Echo for the edgier Yaris (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/14/06, "The Judgment of Yaris"), which is selling briskly. The company has big hopes for the new model, forecasting 70,000 will be sold next year. In fact, according to Automotive News, the company has already sold 32,822 of them in the first seven months of this year.
Honda (HMC) is countering with a new small entry, the Fit (see BusinessWeek.com, 8/21/06, "Nice Fit"), which has been a phenomenal hit for the brand all over the world, except in the U.S. Honda's hopes are a bit more modest than Toyota's, forecasting 50,000 Fit models will be sold in 2007.
Nissan (NSANY), meanwhile, will introduce a new Versa this summer, replacing the aging entry-level Sentra. All three manufacturers are fitting these new cars in the lineup under what were once the smallest models available in the U.S., such as the Honda Civic (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/7/06, "Civic Virtues") and Toyota Corolla, which, with age, have grown considerably in size.
Ford (F) has the European-designed Focus, and General Motors (GM) is having great success with the Chevrolet Aveo—introduced two years ago and the least expensive car on the market. In the first seven months of the year, the company sold 35,078 of the tiny cars despite growing competition from foreign manufacturers.
The Chevrolet Cobalt (see BusinessWeek.com, 8/9/06, "Back to School Cool"), meanwhile, was one of the top 10 best-selling cars during the first quarter of this year, moving more than 50,000 new vehicles. And many see DaimlerChrysler's (DCX) Dodge division capturing the small and fun-to-drive aesthetic of Volkswagen's past GTIs with the new Caliber hatch (see BusinessWeek.com, 8/29/06, "Full Caliber")—better, some say, than even VW's own recently renewed efforts.
But the most convincing evidence of changing habits may be the introduction in the U.S. of small luxury cars, such as the recently released Audi A3 (see BusinessWeek.com, 7/13/06, "Rowdy Audi"). In Europe, where gas can cost as much as $6.60 a gallon, small luxury cars are a market staple, with miniature models from the likes of BMW, Mercedes, and Alfa Romeo. Mercedes has been on again, off again in bringing smaller models Stateside.
Not everyone is convinced the trend to minimize size is the way to go. Milton Pedraza, CEO of Manhattan's Luxury Institute, says the move to smaller vehicles can have a negative impact on luxury brands. "People want pure-breeds," he says. "Not just luxury badges on cars created to fill a niche."
So which one should you buy? BusinessWeek.com's reviewers have put many of the hottest small cars through their paces, reviewing each extensively. For a look at some of the best on the market today, click here.

Philippe Senderos could have played his last game for Arsenal this season.
The centre back was forced off against Tottenham on Saturday because of a knee injury. Initial tests suggested he'll be out for three weeks; making it just possible he could be available for the Champions League Final on May 17 if Arsenal were to qualify.
We will have more of an idea once the results of Monday's scan is known.
"He has a scan today," said Wenger just before his
side flew to Villarreal on Monday. "The first signs are,
unless there is a bad discovery, it is a grade 1 medial knee
ligament that means three weeks out."
20/1 - Villarreal v Arsenal - Henry to score first and Arsenal to win 1-0

- Failure to submit expense reports
- Refusal to return phone calls
- Tendency to shy away from high-impact operations.
Sound like that guy down the hall from you? We hope not! The employee was international terrorist Moktar Belmoktar, and the criticism appeared in a memo written by the leaders of the North African branch of al-Qaida. Who knew terrorists had expense reports?
