Adam Rittenberg (12:00 PM)
Hey guys, I'm here, let's get started!
Jimmy T. (Hiding in Columbus)
Adam, how long until the NCAA drops the hammer on me/tOSU?
Adam Rittenberg (12:00 PM)
Well, Jim, provided nothing changes with the schedule, you'll meet with the Committee on Infractions on Aug. 12, and they'll deliver a decision 6-10 weeks later. So expect to hear something the middle to late part of the season.
matt (frisco, tx)
Hi Adam, love your work. While Iowa has had tons of success on the defensive side of the ball under Norm Parker, they have been exposed against spread offenses. This was very evident last year against teams like Northwestern, Arizona, and Missouri. Do you think Norm will finally look to make some minor changes to counter the problems we faced especially last year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:02 PM)
Matt, Norm knows what he's doing, but you bring up some good points. I couldn't believe the lack of schematic adjustments against Missouri, which sliced up Iowa's defense in the final three quarters. I think the Hawkeyes coaches had a ton of faith in the D-line to generate pressure, even when it wasn't necessarily warranted. The D-line couldn't do enough to prevent the linebackers from being exposed. I think Iowa will be better at LB this fall, which might lead to a similar scheme, but I'd hope they would show more flexibility against the spread.
Jeff ((Bloomington, IL))
As an Illini fan, I obviously would feel better if Liuget, Wilson, and Leshoure were returning to Champaign in the fall but am I crazy for leaning towards Illinois improving on last year's 7-6 record? I'm feeling optimistic that a favorable schedule with 8 home games and the 2nd year in the offensive and defensive systems will help offset the early entries. What are your thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (12:03 PM)
Jeff, I'm cautiously optimistic as well, although the losses of Liuget and Wilson will really sting on defense. I didn't get a sense enough players were stepping up on D this spring, despite a good performance in the spring game. If Illinois can fill the gaps on D, it absolutely can improve upon the eight wins. I love the potential at O-line and with Nathan Scheelhaase, and Paul Petrino's scheme is fun to watch when its clicking.
Dan (Small Town, B1G country)
Hey Adam, I don't know if you've already gone over this, but who do you think will be a bargain grab in the draft this year? Who do you think will turn out to be a great decision?
Adam Rittenberg (12:05 PM)
Dan, good question, and I might do a post on this. I would definitely draft Ohio State WR Dane Sanzenbacher if I had a mid-round pick and he was still available. Dane will be a very solid pro, despite his size. I also think Evan Royster has a chance to be a good NFL back. He didn't have the best senior season, but he displays good vision and could be a Matt Forte-like steal.
Austin (Kansas City)
Last night I dreamt of my beloved Big Red Coach coach, Bo Pelini, gloriously celebrating a national championship. It was 2016, and he stood on the podium surrounded by dozens of future NFL Stallions. But then I saw the Buckeye on his chest, and I woke screaming into the darkness. Please, Adam, tell me this nightmare is unfounded. Please.
Adam Rittenberg (12:07 PM)
Haha, Austin, I doubt you're the only Huskers fan who feels this week. Listen, Pelini's name will come up the next time the Ohio State job opens, and I'm sure he at least has to listen. But Nebraska has made a commitment to him, and as I wrote earlier today, the revised contract comes at a good time given what's happening in Columbus. I think you can sleep easy for a little while longer knowing Bo is committed to Big Red.
Jerry Kill (Bronco Nagurski complex)
Adam you better show up and check out my Gophers. We are one of the most storied programs in BT history and yet you skipped spring ball again! I ain't Brew and you best show up or I won't give you a post game interview after we stroke the post!
Adam Rittenberg (12:08 PM)
Easy, Jerry. You seemed so nice when we talked last week. Listen, I had planned to make it up there this spring, but a few plans got changed around. I did enjoy visiting with you, your coordinators and several players to get a sense of how things went. I hope to make it up there soon!
Jack (Jacksonville, FL)
Adam, what is the tentative release date for this season's prime time games. I'm eager to see what games are going to be showcased under the lights.
Adam Rittenberg (12:09 PM)
Jack, this should be coming out any day now. Although I can't really weigh in on these games until they're official because of ESPN's involvement, expect an answer soon.
Doc (IN)
Speaking of bargain grabs, what about Keith Smith? Granted, he has to show he can come back strong, but do you believe (as I do) he could end up being a very successful receiver in the NFL?
Adam Rittenberg (12:11 PM)
Doc, that's a great call. Smith was a first-team All-Big Ten wideout in 2009 and seemed well on his way to another good season last year before the injury. He's a big target and a great character guy, and he plays at a school that really involves its receivers in the offense. Not a bad late-round pick at all.
Jeff (Frederick, MD)
Adam - love the blog. Do you think that Tressel will come to the realization that he is huring the 'OSU' brand more by staying than any benefit he is bringing to the program? In the Big 10, we try to thumb our noses at the SEC and their 'win at any cost mentality'.
Adam Rittenberg (12:12 PM)
Jeff, I'm going to touch on the Big Ten-SEC moral ground thing after this chat, but you bring up a good point. It's not up to Tressel to protect the Ohio State brand. It's up to Gene Smith and Gordon Gee. But do they truly have the power to fire Tressel and possibly protect the brand from major repercussions? I'm not sure they do. Tressel has built up a ton of goodwill among top donors and other Buckeye power brokers.
Randy (Los Angeles (wish I was in Iowa))
OK, the spring is behind us. We've seen how teams are starting to address their perceived weaknesses; who's your dark horse in 2011?
Adam Rittenberg (12:14 PM)
There still are a lot of questions to be answered, Randy, but I like Iowa in the Legends and Illinois in the Leaders as potential dark horses. Not sure I'd call Penn State a dark horse, but the Lions have a chance to compete for the division if several things go right.
MarQueis Gray (the Film Room)
I'm predicting a 4-2 lifetime record in rivalry games as a starting QB (real rivalry games not that victory bell nonsense). You can take that to the Bank! Care to dispute my prediction?
Adam Rittenberg (12:15 PM)
Ha, I like your confidence, No. 5. Minnesota has to regain the axe at some point.
Ryan (Chicago)
Tressel resigns/gets fired and the NCAA bans him from coaching the 2011 season. Paterno finally hangs it up after this season and come 2012, 'The Vest' turns blue and white. He may not have Paterno's mentality, but alumni want championships. Thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (12:16 PM)
Wow, I haven't heard that one, Randy. It would certainly qualify as a shocking move, but it wouldn't be the first we've seen in college football. I'd expect Penn State to pursue a younger coach with more ties to the program, and Tressel's recent transgressions likely would turn off a school like PSU.
AtWork (Chi-Spartan)
Adam, I know this won't happen, but... if the NCAA vacates OSUs wins from 2010 and strips them of the B1G championship, this would leave MSU and Wisc tied for 1st... see where I'm going with this? As MSU beat Wisc, in theory MSU earned the B1G championship outright! Any shot at a re-do of the Rose Bowl, MSU v TCU?! Since the NFL is messed up right now anyway, I don't think Greg Jones and the other seniors would mind suiting up the green and white one more time. Not sure the Horned Frogs would care for this too much. I can dream though right?
Adam Rittenberg (12:18 PM)
Ha, I'm sure you'd love it, AtWork, and there are more than a few folks in East Lansing who are miffed about the Ohio State situation, given what happened to Michigan State and the BCS. But no, you won't see a Rose Bowl redux. As you say, it's a nice dream.
Chris (Cleveland)
Hey Adam, do you think it's possible that Ohio State loses some of their recruits because of what has happened?
Adam Rittenberg (12:19 PM)
Chris, this is an interesting topic and one I'll explore more with help from our recruiting staff. The Buckeyes just added another recruit earlier this week for 2012, so things look good for now. Luke Fickell told me he doesn't expect a major backlash at first, although he admits negative recruiting does go on and likely will against Ohio State.
Charlie (Lincoln)
Does Nebraska's speed and lack of size at certain positions help or hurt them going into the big 10 next year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:20 PM)
Charlie, I don't think Nebraska's speed is a problem. It's an asset in a league that has been criticized for not having enough. The size thing will be interesting. Does Nebraska have enough size at LB to stop bigger running backs? I think the Huskers do. The offensive line is one area I'm curious about, not from a size perspective but whether it can handle better pass rushers in the Big Ten.
Doc (IN)
What's the best/worst case scenario for Purdue this year? What will is take for Hope to keep his job?
Adam Rittenberg (12:22 PM)
Doc, I'll do a more extensive best case/worst case breakdown for each team as we get closer to the season, but Purdue's best case would be 8-9 wins and the worst case is probably 3-4 and a potential coaching change. Hope needs to show that he's a Big Ten-caliber coach on game days and his team needs to cut down on its major mistakes and play complete games. I think Purdue has enough playmakers to get it done this year, but we'll see what happens.
Grinnin' Glen Mason (BTN couch)
See Adam? I told you Ohio State should've hired me instead of Tressel. Sure, OSU's vaunted D wouldn't exist, but I run a clean ship with a nifty running game. Woulda been great right?
Adam Rittenberg (12:23 PM)
It could have been, Glen. Not sure you would have liked a tough nonconference game every year, though. And you and I both know 7-5 records (3-5 Big Ten) don't hold up in Columbus.
Matt (Michigan)
How good of chance does Michigan State have to reach a rose bowl? Do you think back up QB Andrew Maxwell is better than Kirk Cousins
Adam Rittenberg (12:25 PM)
I like Maxwell's potential, but no way is he better than Cousins, one of the nation's most experienced quarterbacks. Michigan State's Rose Bowl chances hinge on its ability to play well on the road. The Spartans haven't notched a truly signature road win under Mark Dantonio. They'll have to do so this year as they visit Columbus, Lincoln, Evanston and Iowa City, not to mention South Bend in non-league play.
Hawkeye Steve (Council Bluffs)
Why do you think Nebraska fans are so sure they are going to come in the Big Ten and dominate it in their first year? This isn't the Big XII North!!!
Adam Rittenberg (12:27 PM)
That's a good point, Hawkeye, but Nebraska fans see a league with several good teams but few great ones. Plus, they see the Big Ten's flagship program facing unprecedented challenges because of the suspensions and the ongoing situation with Jim Tressel. They also see the other top teams in the Legends division -- Iowa, Michigan State and Northwestern -- all visiting Lincoln.
Mark (Ann Arbor)
Deepest condolences for Jim Mandich and Vada Murray. Do you think Devin Gardner will compete for the starting position for Michigan this fall? The coaches are firm in Denard, but it seems like Devin might be better suited for the offense.
Adam Rittenberg (12:29 PM)
Echo the condolences to the Mandich and Murray families ... The coaches are going to give Robinson some time to settle in. I'd be really surprised if you saw Gardner on the field at critical times during nonconference play, unless Denard gets hurt. Again, don't make judgments based solely off of the spring game. There's a lot more too it than that. But Garnder is a talented guy who could push for time if things go south with No. 16.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
What makes you think the pass rushers are so much better in the Big Ten? Nebraska has played guys like Gerald McCoy, Sam Acho, Aldon Smith, Jeremy Beal, and Sergio Kindle the last few years.
Adam Rittenberg (12:30 PM)
Josh, while the Big 12 has produced some nice pass rushers, the Big Ten has produced more, and the overall quality of defensive lines is superior in the Big Ten. Look at this year's draft. I count five Big Ten defensive linemen -- Watt, Liuget, Kerrigan, Clayborn and Heyward -- as potential first-round picks. That's tough to beat.
Brandon (Buffalo, NY)
In 1999, Penn State relied on two quarterbacks (Thompson and Casey) to get off to a great start to the season. Do you see Penn State implementing this system with Bolden and McGloin or do you see them sticking with one guy?
Adam Rittenberg (12:31 PM)
Brandon, while both QBs performed well this spring, I'd expect Penn State to settle on one guy either before or during preseason camp. Players want a clear leader, and it's tough when you have two signal callers, including one who nearly transferred after the Outback Bowl. So while a 2-QB system isn't totally off the table, I'd be surprised to see it this year.
Ryan (Traverse City, MI)
Adam, how is Michigan State going to split time between three running backs, Larry Caper, Edwin Baker, and LeVeon Bell?
Adam Rittenberg (12:33 PM)
Ryan, I'd be surprised if Baker doesn't begin the season as the starter, but watch out for Le'Veon Bell. He was a monster in the first half of the 2010 season, and he boasts the size to be a true power back. I'd expect Bell to push Baker and share carries at times, while Caper could enter the mix but right now looks like the No. 3 option.
Drew (Madison)
Any chance Budmyr isn't the starter for the Badgers in the fall? See 2009....
Adam Rittenberg (12:34 PM)
No, I can't see Brennan or Stave bypassing Budmayr at this stage. Phillips being out for the season reinforces Wisconsin's need to see what it can from from Bud in games. He clearly needs to have a better fall camp than he did this spring, but he should have Nick Toon and other starters back with the offense.
Sevan (Gainesville, FL)
Adam, first off, your blog is terrific and mandatory reading for me at lunchtime. Second, as a long-suffering Hoosier football fan, I've lamented the LB play on the defense for over a decade and a half. Despite some very good players, that position hasn't gelled as a unit. From spring practice reports, it appears that we've got two good LBs in Jeff Thomas and Leon Beckum. Any idea who has the best shot to complement them in the third spot?
Adam Rittenberg (12:38 PM)
Thanks, Sevan. You're spot on about the LB play as an area that must be upgraded for Indiana to take the next step. I really like Thomas' potential, not only with on-field production but as a leader. Chad Sherer made three starts last year and is a good bet to be the No. 3 backer. Griffen Dahlstrom made some plays this spring and should be in the mix, too.
Chris (Chicago)
AdamWith Cullen Christian the latest attrition in the UM secondary, can you see another defensive year like 2010 for Michigan? They're essentially one injury (Floyd or Woolfolk, already injury history there) from having almost no experience in the secondary. As much as Mattison can improve the front seven, all teams would have to do it throw it over the top, right?
Adam Rittenberg (12:41 PM)
Chris, you're right about secondary depth being a concern, even though neither Christian nor Vinopal are huge losses individually. This underscores the need for Michigan to be MUCH better up front. The Wolverines have to pressure quarterbacks, stuff the run and get home on third-and-long, a situation that killed this defense time and again in 2011. The issues in the secondary won't be solved overnight, but Michigan has the chance to be better in the front seven.
TG (Lincoln)
Who are some of the best kickers in the Big Ten for 2011?
Adam Rittenberg (12:42 PM)
Illinois' Derek Dimke returns after a fabulous junior season. You might not find a college kicker with a stronger leg than Purdue's Carson Wiggs, who can connect from 60 yards plus. Wisconsin's Philip Welch boasts a ton of experience and Michigan State's Dan Conroy had a solid 2010 season. I also like the potential from Indiana's Mitch Ewald.
Oden (Motown)
Adam--Forget replaying the Rose Bowl game, how about re-PAYING the Spartans the difference between the BCS payout and the Capital One payout?!?! Seems to me MSU got financially shafted as well, or do all payouts get split evenly amongst conference members? If not, Columbus should send a check to EL.
Adam Rittenberg (12:43 PM)
Oden, will check on this to make sure, but the Big Ten shares revenue equally, so I don't think it makes a difference. Obviously, Michigan State would have benefited from going to a BCS bowl, though.
Bob (Pittsburgh)
Any potential out-of-program candidates if Paterno hangs it up after this year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:45 PM)
There's a lot of buzz that Penn State will pursue Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald, but I can't see Fitz leaving his alma mater or the Chicago area. ... Not sure if you consider Al Golden an "out-of-program candidate," but if he does well at Miami this fall, he'll definitely be in the mix at Penn State.
Steve (Chicago)
Any chance Ohio State fires Tressel before August. The NCAA doesn't like schools that don't take them seriously. ie-USC.
Adam Rittenberg (12:47 PM)
Steve, unless something else surfaces between now and August, I don't see Ohio State making a change. The school already is investing in outside counsel to help prepare a case for the COI, and Tressel has received support from his AD and president. The way this story is going, don't be surprised if something else comes out, but if it doesn't, I see Ohio State moving forward with The Vest.
Jerome (Toronto)
Who in your opinion is the best offensive coordinator and best defensive coordinator in the Big Ten?
Adam Rittenberg (12:48 PM)
Jerome, good questions. Tough to pick one, but I'd go with Wisconsin's Paul Chryst for offensive coordinator and either Ohio State's Jim Heacock or Nebraska's Carl Pelini for defensive coordinator. I think Heacock is extremely underrated for what he has been able to do in Columbus.
Bob Stoops and Mack Brown (the good life)
We think Nebraska is gonna get pounded in the Big Ten. No Iowa State, Kansas, or Baylor to pad the schedule anymore. Whaddya think?
Adam Rittenberg (12:50 PM)
We'll see, guys, but you might be pleased not to be seeing the Huskers any more in the Big 12 title games. They came pretty close to beating each of your teams the past two seasons. And Mack, you're back in the good life already? That was quick!
Steve (New York)
If McGloin gets the call to start, either Bolden transfers or fans will watch each game and with every McGloin miscue or interception, they'll be calling for Bolden to go in. If Bolden gets the call, he's younger, has more weapons, and will only get better the more he plays, so if he struggles, he'll be given more slack.If these two are neck and neck come the fall, how do you not pick Bolden?
Adam Rittenberg (12:52 PM)
Steve, that's an interesting point about the fan reaction to the starter. I think you're right about McGloin facing criticism for every mistake he'll make, while Bolden probably can afford more growing pains because of his natural ability. McGloin is a tough kid who can handle the heat, of which he has taken plenty since the Outback Bowl. But I tend to agree that if there isn't clear separation, Bolden will be the guy.
Nathan (Iowa)
Which Coordinators in the B1G do you think will have the best chance at jumping to a Head Coach position somewhere after this season?
Adam Rittenberg (12:53 PM)
Paul Chryst from Wisconsin has to get a HC job soon. He's a good guy and an excellent coach. I'd also hope Tom Bradley from Penn State finally gets his shot to lead a program somewhere. It'll be tougher for Bradley after Pitt and Temple filled vacancies, but we'll see. Illinois OC Paul Petrino is another coordinator who likely will land a top job soon.
Bob Stoops (Oklahoma)
Everyone is talking about Urban Meyer as Jim Tressel's replacement. What about me?
Adam Rittenberg (12:55 PM)
Bob, your name will come up, too, but it's a little easier to talk about Urban Meyer because he's not currently coaching a team. While I think you're happy at OU, you will get plenty of love as a candidate at Ohio State if and when that job opens.
Tom (Iowa)
No love for Norm Adam?
Adam Rittenberg (12:56 PM)
He's a great coach, too, Tom. A lot of great Big Ten defensive coordinators. But he asked me to name the best, and I'd go with Heacock or Pelini. Their defenses have been elite.
Chris (Chicago)
Hoping to get this answered before the end ... :)There doesn't seem to be much talk about ohio state's program's questionable history under Jim Tressel. Since 2000, ohio state athletics has reported to the NCAA more than 375 violations -- more than any other FBS school. I'm hearing about Tressel's lack of judgement here and even some fans/pundits claiming that one mistake shouldn't cost him his job or legacy. I'd go as far to say that Tressel is crafty - there's always smoke but Tattoo-gate is the first fire we've found. Maurice Clarett in 2001/02? Troy Smith? AJ Hawk having $3,000 cash "stolen"? Dealership cars for star players? Could you see the NCAA using some of the more circumstantial evidence surrounding the Tressel era into account with the punishment here, even if indirectly (of course they're not going to use these past suspicious events to hit ohio state or Tressel with anything official...)?
Adam Rittenberg (12:58 PM)
Chris, while I understand what you're getting at, I can't see the NCAA using circumstantial evidence to make a ruling. It's all about this particular case and what we know. Jim Tressel's actions in this case are enough for the NCAA to drop the hammer, as we've seen in the past. So while a lot of folks see this as the culmination of a pattern for Tressel at Ohio State, the Committee on Infractions can't look at it that way.
Mike (PA)
Adam, what you think of the chances that Silas Redd wil become the 2nd Heisman Trophy winner at Penn State are? I think he has serious potential to contend not this year, but in 2012.
Adam Rittenberg (12:59 PM)
Mike, I wouldn't put that tag on a player so early in his career, but Redd definitely has a chance to be something special at Penn State. The speed is there, and if he can mature as a running back, he'll be really good this season and beyond.
Adam Rittenberg (12:59 PM)
Last one for the day ....
mike (madison)
Adam - If Wisco can get some solid QB play, do you see the OSU mess as being the moment that they left the door ajar for Wisconsin to breakthrough as an elite Big Ten power. Badger Fans were insulted during the realignment when media types kept putting us in the 2nd tier with Iowa, when you could argue that Michigan, PSU, and even Nebraska were no better than equal to Wisconsin in performance.
Adam Rittenberg (1:02 PM)
Mike, that's an interesting point about being included with Iowa rather than Michigan/Penn State/Nebraska. Since the late 1990s, Wisconsin has been just as successful, or more. It'll take continued talent development for Wisconsin to become a powerhouse, but it'll also take more elite recruits coming to Madison. Ultimately, you need the great players to be able to reload like Ohio State has.
Adam Rittenberg (1:02 PM)
OK, guys, enjoyed the chat. Will talk to you again soon!

Hayward Wesleyan Church Family,
This Sunday, May 25, we will be concluding our journey through the book of Ephesians. You can read the passage of Scripture here.
A few questions to ponder:
1) What does it mean to be strong "in the Lord" and in His mighty power? (compare with the third verse of chapter 1)
2) What are the devil's schemes? Have you encountered them in your own life?
3) Look at each piece of armor mentioned in chapter 6. What does each part represent? What does it protect? How do you use it?
4) In light of verse 18, please take a moment right now and pray for somebody else by name.
We will also take some time in the worship services to remember our loved ones who have passed away during the last year or so. We will display their picture on the screen and speak their name in a tribute of remembrance. We will also honor those who have sacrificed their lives in service for our country.
Songs include:
"It is You"
"That's Why We Praise Him"
"Take My Life""
"A Mighty Fortress"
It's going to be a great day, with many visitors from around the country. See you Sunday morning!!

So, should recordings of opera and Shakespeare be included in everyfilmin2011?
Thus far, I've tended to think so if they are shown in cinemas and are recordings.
Therefore, I won't include the upcoming Glyndebourne season because, as far as I know, they are live broadcasts.
However, I have so far included pop concerts, Shakespeare, classical music and opera which has been pre-recorded.
This has made a mountainous task rather more difficult because, by and large, they are very time-consuming.
Tonight, for example, Mrs W and I were sat in screen 10 at Derby Showcase De Lux for a bum-numbing three hours and 40 minutes.
And no, there wasn't even a interval to enable us to sustain ourselves with a family bag of M & Ms.
In short, Don Carlo was too long. I know, that's nobody's fault but Verdi's but without intervals and, crucially, atmosphere to keep us going, eyelids began to droop.
This wasn't the case when we saw Carmen earlier this year but then we had tub-thumping tunes to feast on.
By contrast, Don Carlo is dreary. The characters are miserable or merciless. Either way tittering wasn't on the agenda.
Don Carlo, for the uninitiated, is the story of the agony of King Philip of Spain's son, whose beloved is suddenly told to marry his dad.
Phil and Don don't get on so this causes a mighty bust-up.
Actually, it causes more than three hours of weeping and hollering from the world's best opera singers.
Robert Alagna plays Don Marina Poplavskaya is Elisabeth, the object of his affections.
They and Ferruccio Furlanetto, who plays Philip, dominate proceedings with huge performances.
But the trouble with Don Carlo for us that it has such a daft premise.
The idea that Don Carlo, a prince, and Elisabeth, a queen, would give up everything after falling in love in a ten-minute meeting in a dark wood seemed too far fetched by half.
As a film it struggled because it didn't have enough sense of being at the theatre.
We thought that Carmen also beat it because it was in 3D, one of the rare times it has been used well at the cinema this year.
It's tricky to mark Don Carlo because we are no experts in the world of opera and, clearly, these were top players.
But, just on the basis of whether it made good cinema, we couldn't give it more than 6/10.

Door still open for Healy
Nigel Worthington insists David Healy still has a future with Northern Ireland after dropping the striker.
Last Updated: 08/11/10 4:35pm
Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington is adamant David Healy still has an international future after dropping the striker.
Healy has been omitted from the squad to face Morocco in a friendly at Windsor Park on November 17th, despite his record tally of 35 goals in 84 games for his country.
Although the 30-year-old has been unable to find the target in the last two years, he crowned his debut for Doncaster on Saturday by scoring in their 2-1 victory over Millwall after arriving on loan from Sunderland.
"It is the right time to give David a breather," said Worthington. "It gives me a chance to look at other people.
"By getting a move to Doncaster hopefully he will play regular first team football - he hasn't done that in recent years - and score some goals.
"That will be good for him and us because the door is still very much open for David.
"He is disappointed to be left out of the squad. I think that is the right reaction to have. He has just got to get his head down.
"It is three months before we play Scotland so I hope he can get as many minutes as possible on the pitch and work his way back into the group."
Kyle Lafferty, Warren Feeney and Rory Patterson will battle it out for a starting spot in attack in Healy's absence.
Worthington has hailed the progress of Lafferty, who earned praise from Rangers manager Walter Smith following their victory against St Mirren.
"Kyle is of an age now when he has the experience from the point of playing first team games," added Worthington.
"He has to really focus on his football because he has terrific ability. If you live the life of a professional that talent and ability will come out. He's got it.
"Walter won't make him do it, I won't make him do it. The only person who can bring it out is Kyle. We can encourage, we can cajole but it has got to come from him."
Full-back George McCartney, on loan to Leeds from Sunderland, returns to the squad for the first time this season and Worthington added: "George is back in the fold and playing again at Leeds, which is good.
"You want experience but I like to push the young ones on as well. We have a nice blend and I am pleased with the squad at my disposal."

The Sigma SD1 Merrill is built around the uniquely designed image sensor, but a high price, sluggish performance and a time-intensive Raw workflow make it a difficult sell to all but the most devoted Foveon disciples.
Excellent build quality. High-quality viewfinder. Good control layout. Unique sensor design. Infrared shooting capability.
Expensive. Sluggish performance. Subpar LCD. Substandard JPG output. Difficult Raw workflow. No video support.
The Sigma SD1 Merrill is a DSLR produced by Sigma Corporation, a well-known Japanese firm that specializes in creating lenses for other camera manufacturers. However, Sigma also produces digital cameras, such as the DP2 Merrill that was recently reviewed on our site.
Excellent build quality, Useful quick-set menu, Excellent image quality
AF problems in low light, Frequent writing to the memory card, Lacks video, live view, top LCD
Alternatively, the camera can automatically take a picture either two or 10 seconds after the mirror's been moved.
Excellent IQ at low ISOs, Images contain bags of detail, Robust build
Frustratingly slow write times, Noise at high ISO, No live view or video, Sigma raw software slow
The SD1 is a no-frills SLR with a very basic feature set that offers exceptional image quality at low ISOs (100-400). However, it's let down by slow file write times and erratic control behaviour during this process.
Exceptional image quality at low ISO, especially in Raw mode, Very good build quality (including weatherproofing), Straightforward operation, with external controls for all key functions, Large, clear viewfinder, Excellent grip, extremely comfortable to shoot for extended sessions, Near-perfect...

The latest DSLR camera from Sigma Corporation is the SD1 Merrill, named for Richard "Dick" Merrill, inventor of the X3F CMOS chip, which uses a type of layering that splits light into red, green, and blue at every one of the 4,800×3,200 photo sites on the sensor.
Medium-format color and resolution at a DSLR price
Doesn't offer live view or video capture capabilities
The SD1 is Sigma's new flagship SLR system. It uses a brand new sensor with Foveon technology and a nominal resolution of 14.8 MP. This means that the camera is able to record RGB information for every single pixel.
By Michael Reichmann, with the assistance of Nick Devlinand the participation of Laurence Matson TheSigma SD1is that company's long-awaited APS-C sized camera using a Foveon X3 sensor. The camera was first shown at Photokina in late 2010 and started to ship in June, 2011.
This is an excellent camera. Can I order an English instruction manual? Also I did not get the Sigma pro 5 software disk in the box as described in the order. After I get the software I can put the camera through its paces. I have followed the FOVEON X3 imaging chip since it was introduced.
I tested sigma camera SD1 for one day and battery lasted for only 90 shots first charge 72 shots the second charge.(about 73 degrees outdoors) has interesting buffer design 2 or 3 buffers. Indoor portrait photos were below expectations in color and b and w I give it no star (that bad (quality).
In a first time excuse me for my bad english wrtitten... i'm a french old professionnal photographer and i used more than half of my career the argentic system... When i used for the first time the numeric sensors i had to see that the colors are not really precise when you compare them to the...

(Updated June 2017) Whether you are an artist, sketcher, designer or a doodler you need a stylus to allow much greater degree of control. But the question becomes, what's the best stylus pen and what are pen stylus combo options? The advance in technology has led to new electronic devices that need a stylus pen to operate. With iPads already firmly entrenched within the market, the need to use an iPad stylus pen has become unavoidable. Although a lot of tablets are still not designed with styluses in mind, there are a range of pen styluses available for modern tablets. Many users would love to see more tablets optimized for use with styluses. Today, it's possible to also find various apps readily available and designed for use with stylus pens.
Should you use a stylus pen? What exactly is a stylus? With fingers being oily and dirty, sometimes it can be challenging to use them to scroll on an iPad or tablet. This is where the use of a stylus pen comes in handy.
Stylus Pen Overview
A stylus is writing implement that works by touch or light pressure rather than ink. A stylus meant for an iPad and tablet looks more like a pen and can be used to select options, draw or write on a touchscreen.
Pen Stylus Combo – Different Options Based on Screen & Use
With several different types of touchscreen technology, not all of them use the same stylus pens. Early touchscreens used a plastic stick which is not an acceptable options with the more recent tablets. Modern tablets feature touchscreens that rely on electrical conductivity thus using capacitive styluses that are designed to be conducive is the way to go.
Styluses are designed for writing while others are more designed for drawing and painting. Depending on your need, you will be able to choose the right stylus pen for you. However, this doesn't mean that a drawing stylus cannot write or vice versa, as long as it's a capacitive stylus it will trigger any capacitive touchscreen and work effectively. In some circumstances, a stylus can work better for some tasks compared to others.
When it comes to using styluses, there are both pros and cons of using a stylus pen, but the cons are generally rather easy to eliminate if you want to. If you decide to use a pen stylus, it's essential you understand the advantages and how to maximize the use of the device.

If you want to get a sense of 17-year-old Joey Bada$$'s rapid rise in the hip-hop world, spend a few minutes in his management team's muggy, unfurnished, and graffiti-laden midtown offices. The newly-installed phones don't always work, much of the recent wiring is exposed, and the Internet connection is fickle.
But Joey remains buoyant.
Standing in the ramshackle front room, watching Joey and his crew (Progressive Era) riffing and rapping over a newly-minted beat, one can't fight the feeling that one is witnessing something special. Here is a group of vibrant teens, fiercely passionate about their music, who are wholly unperturbed by the titanic wave of media coverage heading their way.
Next door is Creative Control, the two-man videography team who shot Joey's lauded "Survival Tactics." That video—released at the end of February—brought the Flatbush native words of acclaim from big-name hip-hop blogs, and even caught the ears of major outlets like MTV, Complex, and Vice. Joey has yet to release a solo mixtape, let alone an album. But his fanbase is building, and he's earning features with well-known MCs, among them Mac Miller and Smoke DZA, whom he's joining for a 29-city tour this summer. Joey's soon-to-be-released "Waves" video boasts director and stylist Va$htie, and a collaboration with renown soul producer 9th Wonder is in the near future.
With Joey's debut mixtape 1999 slated for a June 12th release date, all eyes are on the young, dexterous rapper... a term which, by the way, he despises.
ANTHONY BADAMI: I saw in a recent video you shot with Perrion and Bryant Dope that, like Jay-Z and Biggie, you don't write anything down. Is that true?
JOEY BADA$$: I mean, on most occasions I go into the studio without a pen and pad... Sometimes I write, sometimes I just come up with it in my head. I started freestyling more often because I thought it would be necessary to develop that skill, being that people are saying I'm going [the] places I'm going, just me preparing myself. Eventually that turned into not writing at all, just saving the same couple of bars in my head, doing it over and adding on.
BADAMI: You know what's nuts? I was shooting to do this interview mid-day, sometime around 1 or 2pm, but then your publicist told me you couldn't because you were still in school.
BADA$$: People forget how young I am. I often forget how young I am.
BADAMI: Exactly. Now that you've released this video, "Survival Tactics," and it's getting such wide reception, all of a sudden there's this machinery around you, people vying for your attention.
BADA$$: I mean, it's crazy. I'm definitely not a person that lets anything get to me like this. I've just been balanced, and balancing it out is what I do naturally. I'm still the same person. I still live at the same place I've been living.
BADAMI: What was it like to have Vice magazine walking through your high school in Flatbush, Edward R. Murrow?
BADA$$: That day I say, everything really started changing. I'm not really a fan of having cameras in my face, especially when I'm in school. These people see me every day, and out of nowhere, these cameras are following me around. A lot of people asked me, "How much did you pay for those cameras?" I'm like, "What? Free 99!"
BADAMI: So Basquiat went to your high school.
BADA$$: Yeah, Basquiat did, and Adam Yauch. Rest in peace.
BADAMI: Do you have visual artists, painters that you really like, that you think about when you're making music?
BADA$$: At the moment?
BADAMI: Or in general.
BADA$$: There's this girl named Cassie L. She's in my American history class. She's a really good painter; better than she thinks she is. I really like her paintings. It gives me a lot of inspiration, to see it every day, that's what she's doing on the side, is really amazing.
BADAMI: To move forward a bit, tell me about the day you opened for Mac Miller at Roseland, the same day you did MTV and shot a video?
BADA$$: It was like superstar, stardom 101. [laughs] That day was amazing. I got out of school and went straight to do the Sucker Free interview, the whole time, I was just like, "Ah, fuck it," it wasn't really getting to me, I was just doing it. After the Sucker Free Countdown we performed at the Mac Miller show, and then after the Mac Miller show, we went to go shoot the video. And it wasn't until the end of my day when I got back home at like 6 o'clock in the morning and I had school in an hour that I realized what I'd done. So, anyway, it was crazy, it was an amazing day. From the performance, we got a lot of good feedback.
BADAMI: You said in an interview that someone recognized you when you were walking in.
BADA$$: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was cool. I learned not to do that anymore. I was told that I'm not allowed to walk past the fans. I didn't know. [laughs]
BADAMI: So how did you come to the form the group Progressive Era?
BADA$$: I wasn't the founder. There were two, there was Steez and Powers who had created it, but then they both brought in me and CJ, and then we founded the group from there. Ever since then, we've been multiplying. That was over a year ago, back then, we never thought we would be where we are now. It's amazing what can happen in one year.
BADAMI: There's no doubt about it. I have to say: that track "Waves" is just incredible. And now Va$htie's doing the video?
BADA$$: Yeah, we actually finished shooting it.
BADAMI: How was that, working with her?
BADA$$: Va$htie was really cool. I love Va$htie.
BADAMI: Digging up your tracks is an adventure; they're all over the place. Now that you have an official body of work coming out, the 1999 mixtape, you must be in a different place mentally. What was that process like?
BADA$$: There were so many changes; I went through so many different stages in a short amount of time. With the initial plan, I had this completely different sound for the tape, until I started chopping things. I started getting it going, building a buzz, and then like, the fans shifted my mind at some point, as to how I should make my music. It was all about staying true to myself, doing what I wanted to do, the sound that I wanted to do. That's basically how I came about it, and now I'm pretty much satisfied with what I have.
BADAMI: Is "World Domination" going to be on that?
BADA$$: Yeah.
BADAMI: How long have you been a fan of MF Doom?
BADA$$: I've been a fan of MF since freshman year. So about two years now. Two and a half.
BADAMI: I heard this song, "Update," which was produced by Kirk Knight, and this is like. . .
BADA$$: He's right over there.
BADAMI: Yo! What's up? That beat is incredible! What's up Kirk, what's going on over there?
KIRK KNIGHT: I'm chilling.
BADAMI: I love that track. It's not that traditional East Coast grimy sample with the drum loop just thrown over; it's a different sound for you. Is that something that's going to be explored on 1999?
BADA$$: I was really into it when I wrote that song. It's just some really experimental shit. I'm not being serious. I'm not saying that nothing like that will ever come again.
BADAMI: So, you just finished the stuff with Adidas Originals, too.
BADA$$: Yeah. That was really... how do you guys know that? It's not even out.
BADAMI: The Internet... everything is there, forever, for everyone to see.
BADA$$: Fuck that. I never even spoke about that!
BADAMI: Don't stiff any waiters.
BADA$$: Noooo... I never even...
BADAMI: How would you describe your style, then? A lot of people try to pigeonhole you; they contrast you with A$AP Rocky. He's from Harlem but sounds like a Southern rapper. Do you see yourself as a New York rapper?
BADA$$: I hate the term "rapper." In the present world, it's so degrading. I hate that fucking term, I hate being called a rapper. There was a point in my life where I didn't want to tell anybody I was really interested in rapping, because I thought it would make me look bad.
BADAMI: So what do you prefer, artist?
BADA$$: I don't even know what I prefer. I am a rapper, right? It sort of sucks. It sucks. I'm a rapper. Fuck it, that's life.
BADAMI: So, typical interview question, what's the first hip-hop song you heard that you really got into?
BADA$$: [laughs] Biggie Smalls' "Hypnotize."
CREW MEMBER: What about "The Thong Song?"
BADA$$: [laughs]
BADAMI: "The Thong Song?"
BADA$$: "The Thong Song"! That was one of the first ones. It's fucking funny you say that. It's funny you say that. That video was the highlight of my childhood. That shit made me want to get the tattoo around my belly button!
BADAMI: You were going to get a tattoo around your belly button?
BADA$$: Nah, when I was younger. Sisqo did it! I'm going down for this, I'm going down.
BADAMI: That was the first song I downloaded on Napster, "The Thong Song." It took half an hour, and I was thrilled.
BADA$$: I used to love Dru Hill, bro. I used to love Dru Hill. Yeah, "dat ass, dat ass." I used to love Dru Hill, man.
BADAMI: I feel like there's not enough attention given to the network of people around you; there's just too much attention on a single individual artist.
BADA$$: It sucks. I hate it, man. I hate it. I really hate it. They always tell me, "Don't worry, get your shine," but deep down inside I wish we could all get our shine together.
BADAMI: I wanted to ask you one more question, and it's one of my favorite lines of yours. I was hoping you could just tell me what you were thinking. It's from "World Domination" and it's "Joey you rule / I'm like phony you knew / I'm only in school for cosmology / that's why I act as lonely as you. . ."
BADA$$: Ahhhhh, I knew you were gonna say that! So, what were my thoughts like?
BADAMI: Sure.
BADA$$: I mean, all right. At my school, I'm taking a class in astronomy. It's my favorite class. But the only thing, we're not studying astronomy, we're studying cosmology. So that's been bothering me for like a couple weeks. Astronomy is spirit stuff, like astral planes; that's not what we're learning. We're learning about the stars and constellations. It's cosmology. NASA is wrong. It's cosmonauts. Just shit like that, it's been bothering me, because I am a true astronomer. I am an astronaut, because I travel through astroplanes.

16 December 2013, London; The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Maldives, Her Excellency Ms Dunya Maumoon, has today met with Minister of State at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, The Rt Hon. Hugo Swire MP. Acting High Commissioner to the UK, Mr Ahmed Shiaan, was also in attendance at the meeting held in Whitehall, London.
During the meeting, the Ministers spoke of the long history of good relations between the Maldives and the UK, and reaffirmed the commitment of their Governments to continuing to strengthening Maldives-UK relations.
Additionally, H.E. Ms Maumoon and Mr Swire discussed increasing the quality and quantity of business links between Britain and the Maldives, and considered a number of mutually beneficial possibilities to increase business opportunities for investors.
Foreign Minister Dunya, thanked the British Government for sending visa officers to Maldives to issue student visas but also requested to simplify the procedure of visiting Colombo to obtain UK student visa, which is discouraging prospective Maldivian students to coming to the UK for higher studies. Minister Swire shared his intentions in finding a permanent solution to the issue.

Hiruma Sawai was a bushi and scout of the Crab Clan who was appointed in the Colonies. He became a believer of the Fudoism, [1] under the guidance of Mukudori. [2] Sawai spread the Fudo teachings among their companions, as Kaiu Okaru. [3]
Purge of Fudoism Edit
Sawai had led several Crab expeditions against the Fudoists, using his tracking skills to root them out. These attempts had not proven as successful as his Lord Kuni Renyu had hoped; many of the Fudoists had been warned ahead of time, escaping by mere minutes. After the Imperial Governor of the Colonies Otomo Suikihime was restored to her station, she relinquished their duties with the Fudo to the Dragon Clan. Sawai dared to make objections about Renyu's actions during the Siege of the Second City and he was immediately dismissed, ordered to return to the Empire. [4] He was unknown that Renyu knew his true allegiances, and that he had dispatched Hiruma Hikazu to follow him. [5]
Captured Edit
His friend Togashi Ango knew that Sawai had been once interested in the Fudo teachings, and that he was not one of those criminals who razed the city during the Age of Madness. Ango gave Sawai travel papers, allowing him to leave the city, despite the Dragon had been ordered to chase the Fudoists. [5] Sawai was captured and exposed to the Ivory Court, as a failure of the Dragon duties. Th Imperial Governor of the Colonies Otomo Suikihime ordered the Dragon to relinquish their immigration records to the Scorpion for review. [6]

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each Chevrolet, and understand that only the highest quality repair Vega parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your Vega. When your Chevrolet Vega rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who wants value in their automobile. Anyone who owns a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Without the properly working ignition timing system developed for the internal combustion engine, our engines would have to be all electric. One long-lasting component in your engine that has a countdown to failure is your ignition coil. If you have electronically controlled ignition that uses an engine control module, then you have an ignition coil pack or an ignition coil for each cylinder in your Chevrolet Vega. If you have mechanically timed ignition that uses a distributor, then you will only have one ignition coil.. But no matter how many ignition coils you have, just like any electrical component it will stop working. If just one Chevrolet Vega ignition coil fails, then your timing will grow more irregular, and your engine won't put out as much horsepower because it won't be firing on all cylinders.
When your Chevrolet requires a new replacement Ignition Coil, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Buying new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Vega parts on the internet. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. When it comes to Chevrolet Vega Ignition Coil parts, you can find them for 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

The background to this issue is the Macchabean Revolt, in which the Jews asserted control over the lands of the Seleucid Empire. There were martyrs as described in 2 and 4 Macchabees.
The Jewish ideal was malkut shomain, the Kingship of God. Israel was a theocracy, God was the leader of the nation. Malkut shomain was variously translated to mean the Kingdom of God.
Jesus was preaching the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 7:21) that gathered a large following away from the Temple authorities, and placed the capacity for having a personal relationship with God into the minds and hearts of the devotees of God. This was a threat to Priestly control of the cult of Yahweh in the temples and in the synagogues.
Roman leaders were threatened when they proclaimed Jesus "King"; this caused confusion, and was the strategy the temple priests used to have Jesus tried before Pilate. When Pilate asked "Are you a king?", Jesus replied, "My kingdom is not of this world", meaning the Kingdom of God is within.

|Testing modules using Python
|Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:27:58 GMT
Hi, I want to unit test my module (catacomb.tigris.org) using Python. My idea is to load the module with ctypes (a python module that allows to load functions from shared libraries into python) and test it in this environment. The main advantage is that it's much easier to create mock-up objects in Python than in C. My problem is that ctypes fails if the shared library contains any undefined symbols. Because the module is used normally together with a httpd server, there're a lot of undefined symbols. My solution is to link libapr, libaprutil, libexpat and libmysql statically in my module and to add a file with the definitions of the apache-internal functions (just copy and paste from httpd source). With every function which I copy in this file I get a few new undefined symbols. All in all it's a pain to search all definitions and I probably have to do this again after adding new features which uses other functionalities. Is there an easier way to do this? To build a module which includes all needed links to apache functions without linking the needed libraries statically and copy-and-paste functions from apache source? Or do you know a better way to do this?
