CONFERENCE OF EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY CHAPALAINS FRAUENCHIEMSEE Thursday 8 June 2006 'Spirituality and Student Life in an Urban Atmosphere.' A WALK IN THE CITY Chris McCoy. To prepare for this panel discussion I decided to go for a walk around centre of my home city, Liverpool. Within a couple of minutes of leaving my apartment I saw on the top of a building a large sign. It showed a naked woman holding a red apple and underneath was written the words 'Give in to Temptation'. I was being invited to buy a luxury apartment in the 'Eden Building.' A few minutes later on my walk I passed a gym, a centre with sauna, treadmills, exercise bikes etc. The name of the gym? 'Absolution'. Moving on, I passed a cinema showing the 'Da Vinci Code' and watched a crowd of mostly young people queuing to go in. I felt hungry so I stopped to buy a bar of chocolate. A well known UK brand of chocolate, the 'Mars bar', has been renamed for the duration of the World Cup as 'Believe'. The renamed chocolate bar is being advertised with a picture three young men, football supporters, with tense, anxious, expressions on their faces. I was being asked to pray, to 'believe' that England might just win the world cup. I walked on along Paradise Street with its new multi-million pound shopping complex. A few minutes later, I paused at the city centre church where my father and my grandfather were baptized. I went in, not to pray, but to buy a drink. St Peters church has long been abandoned by the faithful and been converted into a very up-market Cuban Bar and Restaurant. As I drank a 'Cuba Libre' I listened to the music: it was mambo. I smiled to myself as I remembered that mambo is the name for a voodoo high priestess and the music has its origins in voodoo rituals of Haiti. At one end of the bar there is a large wall painting of Christ and St Peter. (When the church was redesigned as a bar it was not painted over) It is where the high altar once stood. It was here as a young child I knelt and prayed. It was here my parents and family nurtured my inner, my spiritual life. With the sounds of mambo ringing in my ears, I looked at the painting thought to myself, 'What an interesting city Liverpool has become.' If the urban landscape of many of our towns and cities is in a state on continual change, so too is the emotional, intellectual and spiritual terrain. Buildings change: churches become bars. As traditional forms of faith are being abandoned, the church no longer has control of religious language and imagery. They are used to market and sell a variety of products and services. 'Eden' can be found in living in a luxury apartment and shopping is 'paradise.' 'Absolution' comes with sweating in the gym and supporting the national football team is 'believing.' Spiritualities of many different types make use of religious language and images for their own purposes. They too, in turn, are often packaged and marketed as a product for sale, as something to be consumed. New Age can increase profit margins. Whatever the danger of spirituality being reduced to a product, what is clear is that the main Christian Churches in Europe are no longer the places where many young people find nourishment for their spiritual life. Students are finding other wells from which to drink. And yet many report that spirituality is alive and well. David Tacey describes the spirituality of students in these words: 'Youth spirituality is like an underground stream flowing beneath our ordinary work, yet 1 this stream is rarely noticed. It keeps flowing, but the life-giving waters are not utilized, tapped or directed into the dry places of culture. Adult society marches ahead with a business-as-usual attitude, while large volumes of spiritual water surge forward silently, beneath notice, towards some unknown destination.' (Tacey 2004, 51) Spirituality is an elusive term: it is at times vague and imprecise. There are almost as many definitions of it as there are people. In a general sense, The language of spirituality is often associated with what sociologists have called 'self- religions', characterized by personal quests for meaning or with the pursuit of 'New Age' therapies and techniques. (Faithful Cities, 2006, 2) More particularly, it is also used, most obviously by the major world faiths, to indicate a vision of reality which goes beyond the material world, namely, the transcendent. Often experiential descriptions of spirituality seem to work better than conceptual definitions. (Egan, 2006, 1) You and I know what students mean when they talk about what gives them energy; how they want to feel connected or how they seek to belong to something greater than themselves. We recognize they seek what is authentic and genuine, for something personal and intimate. They are hungry for food which nourishes them. It is a deep need, a cry from the heart. Leonard Sweet suggests why this is so: The new attention being given to spirituality is not just some fashionable interest is esoteric matters, nor is it an escape from the real or an intellectual enquiry into human nature. It is an emotional and urgent reaction to widespread alienation, disempowerment and disillusionment. It is an almost a panic response to the apparent lack of 'relationally' and connectedness in contemporary life. To call for spirituality is to call for healing and reconnection. It is to admit that we are divided and long to become whole. It is to acknowledge that our lives are fragmented and that we hope for some mystery that will fit the broken parts together. (Sweet,L 1999, 215) People experience this most acutely in the city. Over 50% of the world's population lives in cities. In the city 'large numbers of people can live in close proximity to one another, without knowing most others personally.' (Giddens, 1991, 558) They can be the place where we feel most alone, isolated and anonymous. We are, in scriptural terms, exiled from the Garden and called to live in the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem. Between the two we are subject to an existential transience. Our hearts are not at rest. The urban continually offers the individual a multiplicity of choices and experiences. Walking through Liverpool, or thorough any large town or city in Europe is to be faced with decisions. Which way do I go? To whom do I talk? To what do I react? It is to be invited, to be enticed or manipulated into different worlds of memory, desire and imagination. How I negotiate the ever changing landscape of the city offers me countess opportunities to re-invent myself, to re-imagine who I am. The urban holds the promise of our re-creation. It was towns and cities that gave birth to the first universities in medieval Europe. The urban is the natural environment for the student. A young female, Erasmus programme, student from Greece coming to study in Liverpool for six months will experience the city a different way to me. She will make her own mental map of the city. She will feel safe in some areas of the city and not others. She will make connections with other students and some local people: she will read and interpret the city in her own way. A post-graduate male, gay student from Nigeria will 2 map the city in another way. At times he might delight in being anonymous and then be overwhelmed by anxiety; perhaps feeling that he is in an alien land where all is unfamiliar, strange and disturbing. Their maps and mine will have some features in common. They will find places in the city that I will never find and I will read and interpret the urban landscape in ways that they, as temporary residents, can only imagine. Gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity and economic status are all factors which determine how we experience urban life and how we make sense of who we are in relation to others. This is spirituality in a broad sense. Our towns and cities need spiritually healthy individuals if they are to flourish. It is a question of how we, women and men, exiled from the Garden 'might make a home in the city.' (Sennett 1994, 27) Urban hope and spiritual well-being are connected. A recent research project in the UK which looked at the spirituality of young people argues that if town and cities are to continue to grow and develop as places fit for human habitation they need spiritually healthy individuals. Spiritually healthy individuals are needed at the heart of urban regeneration, to celebrate personal hope, to invest in social capital and to transform spiritual wilderness into centers of personal, social and economic creativity. (Francis, 2005, 2) The research makes use of the work of an Australian, John Fisher, who has developed the concept of spiritual health. If the word 'spiritual' is no longer limited to the religious or ecclesiastical but includes whatever gives meaning to a persons existence, so too the word 'health' has undergone a transformation in recent years. It is not simply about the absence of disease or illness, but now includes a sense wholeness and well-being. He suggests that a useful conceptual model, both for religious and non-religious understandings of spirituality, is to speak of spiritual health as being linked to four distinct areas or domains. The personal, the communal, the environmental and the transcendental are four distinct areas of life where healthy relationships are important. Spiritually healthy individuals stand in right relationship with themselves, with other people, with the world in which they live and with the transcendent, however they conceive it. (Fisher 2000, 47) Fisher argues that spiritual health is enhanced by developing all four areas or domains. For some individuals different domains will have greater significance according to their personality, or their stage in life, position in society etc. The challenge for us as chaplains is to be respectful. We recognize that when it comes to spirituality there is 'no one size that fits all. We, and all to whom we 'minister', have to make our own way. If we are interested in the spiritual health or well-being of ourselves and others we have to take time to listen to the story that individuals use of to make sense of where they are at any point of their lives. Part of the task of chaplaincy is to create that safe, emotional, psychological space where students can be heard and their stories respected and interpreted sensitively. Those who inhabit or staff such a space need to be fed and nourished themselves. They need to be rooted in their own faith tradition. Archbishop Rowan Williams says that central to the idea of living faithfully is the recognition that I am not obliged to create or justify myself. He writes: To live in faith is to be conscious at some level, perhaps only a quite deeply buried one, that your being there and your being who you are, are not under threat; your existence and your identity have roots and solidity. 3 There are many ways of learning this, most obviously by knowing yourself to be the object of love or friendship: for the religious person, it is most importantly anchored in the conviction of being created, (i.e. God wants you to be) (Values in Higher Education, 25) For the Christian believer this is spiritual health in its deepest sense. Knowing that I belong, that I am not obliged to create or justify myself. We might no longer live in Eden but we believe the home for which we were created can be found living together in the city. If we are to share the urban space together is a healthy, sustainable, viable way we must learn of the art of respecting each others search for authenticity. As individuals, we make our own way seeking meaning and significance in life but we journey together with others. When you return home after this conference, leave your office or chaplaincy and go for a walk across the campus, into the town or city. Look around carefully as you walk, try and make sense of what you see and feel. As you do so, remember the words of the 11th century Buddhist 'saint', Milarepa, who wrote, 'For the first time I go to my homeland as a mere seeker.' Chris McCoy, UK.

Skull and Facial Fracture
(Head Injury; Open Skull Fracture; Closed Skull Fracture; Fracture, Skull and Facial; Maxillary Fracture; Le Fort Fracture; Mandible Fracture; Zygomatic Fracture)
DefinitionSkull and facial fractures are broken bones of the head and face. Injury can result in damage to the brain.Types of skull fractures include:
- Simple—the bone is broken, but skin is intact
- Linear—the break is in a thin, straight line through the depth of the skull bone
- Depressed—the bone of the skull is crushed and pushed in toward the brain
- Comminuted—a complex fracture with bone splintering and tearing of the skin
- Maxillary fractures involve the upper jaw. They are classified as Le Fort I-V fractures based on their specific location on the maxillary bone.
- Mandible fractures involve the lower jaw.
- Zygomatic fractures involve the cheekbones.
- Closed—the fracture does not break the skin
- Open—the fracture breaks through the skin
|Fractures in the Zygomatic Arch and Orbit
|© Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
CausesSkull and/or facial fractures are caused by direct trauma to your head. Trauma can be caused by:
- Falls
- Car, motorcycle, or pedestrian accident
- Blunt force trauma
- Penetrating trauma
- Domestic violence, child or elder abuse
- Sports injury
- Gunshot
Risk FactorsFactors that may increase the chance of a skull and/or facial fracture include:

This Week's Obsession: Forrealfeldt?
If you can do this, we've got minutes for you [Upchurch]
Question by Ace: The biggest question Michigan hoops faced heading into this season was how the center position would hold up, and the focus went almost entirely on the three freshmen. Now, against the first team M played with a pulse, Max Bielfeldt went off, to the point that HAHA SETH DAVIS "MAXIMUS" WE GET IT WE ALSO GOT IT THE FIRST TWO DOZEN TIMES YOU CAN STOP NOW.
ANYWAY, now that we've got a small sample to work with, how do you see the minutes at the five shaking out? Is Bielfeldt at all for real, and what have you seen from the freshmen that's also informing your opinion?
|Why would there be an 'a' in it if it's pronounced with a short 'e'? This makes less sense than a 6'7 center. [Upchurch]
Seth: Max looked awesome, and bigs get better with time, but my expectations for him haven't changed from pre-season. Those expectations were for significant improvement toward a ceiling that's still below what we want as a starter. I think once Michigan's playing teams who aren't Division II or a Patriot League power in a down year, we'll look back on this as the Bielfeldt game. The standard comparison for a 6'7 center is Wes Unseld, but 6'7 in the 1970s is 6'9 today; Mitch McGary was more Unseld. When Bucknell could get the ball down low to their guy named Nana, Bielfeldt couldn't hang; he looked to give up three inches to a guy who's listed 6'9.
Donnal (apparently this is pronounced "Don-ELLE"?) again got the starter's run and I think he remains Option 1A. He's merely efficient and clearly the weak point of the starting five, but in an alternate universe where the NCAA isn't the dumbest organization on the planet I would expect Donnal to be getting minutes behind McGary.
After the non-conference you'll be seeing way more Doyle. He's definitely looked the most raw of the four fives. He also looks big--like as big as McGary—and the scattershot results of his minutes have pocked things Max and Donnal never will. The best case scenario for Michigan is to slowly ease Doyle into more minutes so he's a viable option against the larger Big Ten teams.
We saw a bit more Wilson this time, and nothing changed my feelings that he's a four. My guess is he's not seeing time there because Michigan desperately wants someone to emerge at the five. My guess is this is what's causing a lot of the slowness in progression that Beilein mentioned, because he's a freshman and learning to play center is like a five-year journey, not to mention Beilein's system and all its quirks. He does make some cool defensive plays, but the Smotrycz is strong with this one. Watching him trying to help down low then swing out out the wing gave me a renewed appreciation for the guys who could do that.
So post time:
Early season: 50% Donnal, 25% Bielfeldt, 25% Wilson/Doyle
Big Ten season: 41% Donnal, 40% Doyle, 19% Bielfeldt/Wilson.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH basketball exists [Dustin Johnston/UMHoops]
No drama just bullets:
Big three. Big three. Big three. Chances a basketball podcast uses "The Big Three Killed My Baby"—the White Stripes' screechy intro to the world off their self-titled debut—are 99.9%. Outside of the uber-recruit laden one-and-done factories There are few in the country who can match Michigan 1 to 3. The backcourt troika all went over 20 points efficiently, and there is more where that came from.
Yes, just a D-II team, but even so Walton/Irvin/LeVert all cracked 20 points on 13-ish shot equivalents. None of these guys got their points via volume. As a result, they picked up where they left off last year at 1.33 points per possession. Single-game ORTGs for the big three: 170, 166, and 144. That's nuts.
Usage was also in the same range it was last year: the six guys who cracked ten minutes all had their usage fall between 16 (Chatman) and 25 (Albrecht!) percent. Last year's Michigan team was efficient in part because no individual player had a particularly heavy load. Even without Stauskas they look ready to repeat that feat.
- LeVert looks ready to take over the late-shot-clock mantle capably handled by Burke and Stauskas the last couple years. He's a long 6'7" with an excellent ability to get to his spot and get off a clean jumper, and that's a fine option when you have to get a shot off, any shot. Also he had nine assists. And eight rebounds.
- Walton, meanwhile, is also verging on being able to get what he wants when he wants it. He got the the line ten times, had four assist and just one TO. I don't want to talk about a Trey leap yet… but hey man Beilein point guards have gotten really really good in year two. Hell, you could even throw Stauskas in there if you want.
- Irvin didn't fill up the box score like he did against Wayne State; he did show off a couple of drives off of closeouts that were absent from his game last year. He was actually 5/6 from inside the line… which is about a month's worth of games from last year.
In re: Irvin twos: About half of those were THJ-style pull-up jumpers just inside the line. You know me and my hatred of long twos, but even I have to admit those looked like they might go down often enough to be a decent option.
[After THE JUMP: the five spot, defensive issues, calmer than you are.]

Who will get the bulk of the minutes at center? The panelists disagree. [Fuller]
Three days.
The preview is almost done, but first, Alex and I attempt to answer perhaps the longest mailbag question in this blog's history. Without further ado, a five-part query covering everything:
Can you predict the minutes by position for the roster this year given the unique nature of this team compared to the past rosters?
I'm very intrigued to see how Beilein deals with the youngest but probably deepest and most versatile roster he's ever had. For most years we were scrambling to find 8 usable scholarship athletes and this year we have 11 guys who could see meaningful minutes in any given game. How will he handle that? How will he handle the frustrations that come with so many freshmen learning a complex system? How will he handle the unique skills that guys like MAAR or Wilson offer if they aren't quite the fit into his system?
Ace: I'm going to start from the end—first of all, Wilson is an ideal fit in the system (more on him later), and second of all, if a player is good enough to get on the court, Beilein is going to adjust his team's approach to fit his personnel, as we've seen time and again.
Also, talk about good problems. There really are 11 players who could see at least a consistent bit role this season, though I highly doubt Beilein is going to go with an 11-man rotation; I think he'll whittle it down closer to eight or nine as the season goes on.
My best guess at how the minutes breakdown will look when this team settles into a rotation—in the early going, I expect some experimenting as Beilein figures out what his freshmen can and can't provide:
1) Walton - 30, Albrecht - 10
2) LeVert - 35, Albrecht - 5
3) Irvin - 30, Dawkins - 10
4) Chatman - 25, Wilson - 15
5) Doyle - 20, Donnal - 10, Wilson - 10
Positions matter less than minutes distribution here—Irvin and Dawkins can both play the two, and LeVert can play the three, for example, and those positions very similar in Beilein's system, anyway.
Of the freshmen, I think Muhammad Ali Abdur-Rahkman is the most likely to fall out of the rotation. Michigan has plenty of guards that can handle the ball, Walton's ability as a spot-up shooter will allow for the Walton/Spike backcourt to get a good amount of run, and Rahk's iffy shooting is going to hold him back, especially once M hits the meat of the schedule—Beilein's system doesn't work nearly as well if defenses don't have to respect the outside shot of one of the guards.
Aubrey Dawkins, meanwhile, has the skill set to be an immediate bench contributor. He can defend multiple positions and he can shoot the three; add in his outstanding athleticism, which should make him a good finisher on the break, and it's easy to see a role for him as a three-and-D guy with some upside.
I'm of the mind that all three freshman centers, including DJ Wilson, will get extensive time, and their minutes will wax and wane depending on the matchup; Wilson should see more time at the five against smaller, athletic teams, while Doyle may be leaned upon heavily against a bigger squad like Iowa. I believe Doyle will end up playing the most minutes at the five; I'm a fan of his combination of size and ability to finish near the basket, and for some reason it doesn't feel like Donnal is currently living up to expectations.

Hoops Preview 2014-15: The Mailbag, Part One

Improvement from the rest of the squad should help M's young centers get acclimated. [Fuller]
Michigan had their first and only exhibition of the 2014-15 season last night, and on Saturday the games start counting for real. Even by John Beilein Michigan squad standards, this is a young group facing a lot of pressing questions, and the answers will determine if the Wolverines continue the remarkable success of recent seasons or fall back to the pack a bit.
There are so many, in fact, that the preseason mailbag will be a two-parter. Today, Alex and I address your questions about the young group of centers, the possibility of more zone defense this season, and proper expectations for Zak Irvin's sophomore season.
The latest mailbag said you're looking for basketball questions, so here's my biggest wonder heading into the season: What should my expectations be for the production from the center position, a position that seems to be a weakness on an otherwise strong team?
Beilein said he wants Mark [Donnal] or Ricky [Doyle] to eventually emerge as The Guy, but if we consider them to be a platoon (can we call it Donnoyle?), what output should we be happy with and what should concern us? Will Mark Donnal be the perfect fit everyone's been talking about (I won't make the age-old comparison), or will he be overpowered by mean scary Big Ten centers? Will Ricky Doyle be a calming presence on the defense or will we see that classic freshman deer-in-the-headlights look too often?
This message got a lot longer than I planned, but it's just something that I've been discussing at length with the basketball beat writers, and I think it's something that a lot of the fan base is wondering. Let me know what you think!
Ace: Let's start with a point of reference. Last season in Big Ten play—which removes Mitch McGary's scattered nonconference minutes from the equation—the combination of Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford averaged 11.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.4 turnovers, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 70.7% from the field.
A few of those numbers are unlikely to be replicated by a trio of freshman centers—while he'll see plenty of time at the four and maybe even the three, DJ Wilson will get a lot of run at the five—and Max Bielfeldt. Morgan and Horford were both very efficient finishers who didn't take jumpers; that's not the case for any of M's current centers—even Doyle is comfortable shooting from mid-range—and just by virtue of them taking more jumpers, that shooting percentage is going to dip. Replacing seniors with freshmen usually means rebounding will go down and turnovers up, too.
All three main center options have scoring potential, though. Donnal missed his only three-point attempt last night and wasn't a major factor on offense, but if he can consistently stretch the defense he should stick as the starter. Ricky Doyle could easily surpass him, however, and even provide the type of scoring that Morgan/Horford did. Doyle is the bigger guy and looks to have more potential as a rebounder—he had an impressive putback last night—and his tape from high school and the Italy trip shows he's adept at finishing near the basket with either hand. Wilson, when he's at the five, will really spread the floor, and he's easily the best passer and ballhandler of these three; he may also be the best outside shooter.

Talking About The Basketballs
11/10/2014 – Michigan 86, Wayne State 43 – 0-0
[Bryan Fuller]
Hey: basketball. I took in the exhibition, which exhibited various things I'll now detail.
Player things
I hope this was just nerves. Freshmen had a rough shooting night with the limited exceptions of Doyle and Dawkins, none more so than Chatman. He airballed his first two threes, took a bad, contested long two, and bricked a THJ-style pull-up long two; he did hit a three late.
On the good side, his other bucket was an impressive drive to the basket with a finish that made a lot of people look at their buddy so they could do this:
He also added four assists and led the team in rebounding with six; he also looked capable of switching on the perimeter at least as effectively as GRIII.
Shooting was never a strength for Robinson—he developed an elbow jumper he was proficient at but hovered around 30% from three—so even if Chatman isn't a great threat from deep Michigan won't be backsliding too much. And Beilein believes he can coach up anyone's three point stroke.
DJ Wilson. Wilson's going to be an interesting case this year. He's skinny as all git out but with his size and hops he's going to be much better at altering shots than anyone on last year's team other than Horford. Michigan has been playing him mostly at the 5 with occasional forays at the 4, and while Doyle's lingering ankle thing has something to do with that you get the feeling that when opponents have a lanky dude in there Michigan is going to counter with Wilson.
I could have sworn Wilson hit two late threes but the box score only gives him credit for one. Foot on the line? Either way he mitigated some of the freshman shooting questions by hitting those late.
Aubrey Dawkins. Skinnier version of GRIII. Can shoot some, 6'6", athletic, not going to create much. Had some issues dribbling.
MAAR. Or "Rahk." Rahk appears to be Beilein's favorite way of saying Muhammad Ali Abdur-Rahkman without taking up nine syllables, and it has its appeal.
Anyway, MAAR has a much better handle than the rest of the freshman and is your third point guard. He had a nice take to the hoop that he followed with a layup that was way too hard; he had a second drive on which he'd gotten an angle to the bucket when his handle betrayed him and the ball looped out of bounds.
He ended up not hitting a shot; early yet.
Center fight. There are four options: Mark Donnal, Ricky Doyle, DJ Wilson, and Max Bielfeldt. I expect Doyle to emerge into a clear starter, with Donnal giving him a breather. The lack of pick and pop game with Donnal on the court says somethin' about somethin'.
Doyle is both one inch taller and somehow way bigger than Donnal. He seems to have considerably more defensive upside. He's also finished much better around the basket in the two glimpses we've seen of him this fall. Donnal has been a below the rim Morgan type without Morgan's crazy efficiency; Doyle is finishing with both hands easily because he's got those super-huge hands and long arms that allow him to gently deposit the ball on the glass from whatever angle is called for.
This person looks like a person who will finish around the rim. [Fuller]
Wilson will rotate in at the 4 and the 5 depending on matchups and how Chatman's seemingly mercurial shooting stroke is going.
The returning folks. All looked pretty good minus some uncharacteristic three-point foibles (Irvin, Walton, Albrecht, and LeVert combined to go 3 for 12) that we can ignore because we have full-season samples for all those guys in which they hit 40% from deep.
I got this [Fuller]
LeVert looked ready to take on the alpha dog mantle passed down from Burke to Stauskas and now to him. He's taking the late clock shots; his length and ability to get to good spots on the floor mean these are usually okay shots.
Irvin was much more active on the boards, hauling in five rebounds in 29 minutes, and even had shots from within the arc(!). On the podcast we discussed how Irvin needs to be a "three AND" guy this year, whether that's perimeter defense or rebounding or sometimes venturing inside the line. So far so good.
Walton was hampered by a scary-looking injury that turned out to be a cramp; he was very assured on the ball and got to the line seven times—would have been eight if not for the injury.
The rotation. Until such time as one of the freshmen gains enough trust to be put out there in pressure situations, expect the main backcourt sub to be Spike. Beilein's always kept a short bench and Albrecht's utterly reliable with the ball in his hands. This is Beilein's favorite thing. He'll spot Walton for eight minutes a game and then Michigan will have ten or so minutes with both points on the floor, leaving 5-10 minutes for MAAR and Dawkins to scrap over.
A lack of flow. You know it's early and you've got a bunch of freshmen when your guards have to keep yelling at the posts to screen for them. Michigan used its time on offense inefficiently, with several incidents where plays had to be reset because of poor spacing and miscommunication.
In particular, there was one play featuring DJ Wilson where Wilson had two obvious opportunities to drift to the three point line in the corner and either force someone out of the middle or get a good shot. Instead he hung out 15 feet from the basket and neither option opened up. He was far from the only culprit, but that stood out as a moment where I may have been more familiar with Beilein's system than freshman X—I blinked a couple times because I couldn't understand what Wilson was doing.
Beilein seems pretty frustrated right now:
"We don't have a very good package in, and I'm trying to figure out how that's happened," Beilein said. "We held things back today so it's not on film, but it's not very far right now. We're creeping along. We're moving in the right direction, but it's really slow."
He added, "It's my biggest quandary every day, is whether we can move forward faster. We spend so much time on defense, because we realize that shots aren't (always) going to drop. It's hard to believe that we went to Europe and we aren't further along and we're not moving as quickly as I would have in past years."
This team isn't appreciably younger than either of his previous two, which were amongst the youngest in the country. Hopefully they get it figured out before the preseason tourney rolls around.
How to stay good
Michigan endured yet another talent exodus this offseason and has to regress from last year's all-time Kenpom offensive efficiency record. To maintain their elite level they're going to have to make it up in other places. Here are a few candidates.
Rebound some low-hanging fruit. Michigan's rebounding production out of the 3 and 4 spots last year was not impressive. 6'6" PF Glenn Robinson had a 6% OREB rate and an 11.5 DREB rate; 6'6" SF Zak Irvin had a 3.3% OREB rate and a 7.7 DREB rate. Irvin was in fact the least likely guy on the team to get a defensive rebound—even Spike Albrecht beat him out.
A selection of 6'7"-ish forwards in the Big Ten last year:
- Troy Williams, IU: 8 OREB and 15 DREB
- LaQuinton Ross, OSU: 7.5 and 17
- Terran Petteway, NEB: 3 and 15
- Shavon Shields, NEB: 5 and 16
- Jon Ekey, ILL: 8 and 15
- Aaron White, Iowa: 7 and 19
- Melsahn Basabe, Iowa: 12 and 23
- Branden Dawson, MSU: 13 and 21
- Denzel Valentine, MSU: 5 and 18
(Should be noted that the Nebraska guys' OREB rates are a reflection of a team-wide allergy.) It isn't too hard to find guys with much better production. While Dawson and White are rebounding specialists who find a lot of their value as players in what happens when a shot caroms off the rim, no one is going to mistake Williams, Petteway, Valentine, or Ross for D-oriented role players.
Michigan can seriously beef up production here, and so far so good. Chatman led the team with six rebounds; Irvin had five.
Block some dang shots. Michigan had vanishingly little shotblocking on the team last year. Michigan was 308th nationally, and this contributed to their very bad two-point D.
The freshmen promise to change that. Wilson is long and bouncy and once Doyle settles in it's easy to see him getting his share of swats. His arms are oversized. Michigan had six blocks in this game, albeit against a highly undersized opponent. If Doyle and Wilson can block some shots, alter others, and convince drivers to pull up because of the first two items, that goes some distance towards repairing last year's conference-worst two point D.
Get some steals. Steals are great. Open-court turnovers lead to transition opportunities on which Michigan is deadly. Michigan had eight, with the sneaky Spike Albrecht picking up three.
Stay in front. We all love Nik Stauskas but his defense was never a strong suit; meanwhile Robinson was not awesome laterally and gave up some inches to most of the guys he was checking. Replacing Stauskas with Irvin could be a major upgrade—too early to tell yet—and having athletes like Chatman and Wilson who are close to GRIII's level while also being significantly longer should help the D recover from its swoon into the triple digits on Kenpom.
Hooray basketball. Hooray not being scoreless 30 minutes into the game.

Jordan Morgan graduated, triumphant. So, too, did Jon Horford, who chose to play his final year of eligibility at Florida. Mitch McGary, a victim of the NCAA's enthusiastic, aggressive stupidity, will suit up this winter for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As a result, out of the 1490 minutes Michigan centers played in 2013-14, the Wolverines return just 89, in the form of 6'7" tweener Max Bielfeldt, a senior with all of 38 career points to his name. While Bielfeldt may play a bigger part in the rotation, he isn't expected to take on major minutes; those should go to two freshmen with distinctly different playing styles.
Mark Donnal
why did I start the tape here? oh, no reason.

Mark Donnal is the closest thing to Kevin Pittsnogle that John Beilein's had during his tenure at Michigan.
It's true, and you're going to hear it about half a billion times this season, so get used to it. Pittsnogle was Beilein's West Virginia version of Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky, a productive post player with a killer three-point stroke. If you haven't yet, hit play on the embedded YouTube video above.
Donnal redshirted last season while bulking up from 215 pounds to his current 240, a luxury Michigan could afford with Morgan/Horford/McGary manning the center position. By midseason, word was leaking out around the program that Donnal was really impressing in practice, and by the end he was reportedly hanging with his older, accomplished teammates:
If it wasn't for the redshirt, Morgan and Horford might have had to worry about their job security.
"He's becoming a force," Morgan said. "He's hard to guard down there in the post, and he's definitely come a long way.
"Over the past couple months, he's just become really good. Really dominates, shoots the ball well."
The tentativeness that plagued Donnal through the season's first couple months seemed to disappear.
"Now that I have my confidence back, I know that I can play with these guys," Donnal said.
This summer, Donnal started all four games of the Italy tour, averaging 10.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game—numbers that Michigan would be over the moon about if he came close to replicating them during the season, wildly unlikely given the center's place on the offensive pecking order. While he was very efficient inside the arc, he went 0/3 on three-pointers during the trip, instead getting most of his buckets in transition or off pick-and-rolls.
Michigan doesn't exactly need huge production out of their center, of course, and the threat of Donnal's outside shot should open up space for everyone else if he's able to handle the more physical demands of the position. He can also diversify Michigan's high screen game; the Wolverines haven't had a center who's as much a pick-and-pop threat as a pick-and-roll threat, and that adds an entirely new dimension to guarding the screener. One thing to keep an eye on as the season progresses: while Donnal looks very comfortable on film finishing with his right hand, he rarely seems to use his left—and often goes out of his way to use his right. If/when opponents pick up on that he's going to have a more difficult time scoring around the basket.
A good rebounder in high school, Donnal should at least be passable in that regard, albeit a likely downgrade from the trio of very productive rebounders on last year's roster. The focus then turns to defense. While true freshman Ricky Doyle is a bigger guy who projects to be the better rim protector, Donnal showed off some nice shot-blocking himself in his high school film, and his year of practice experience should give him a leg up on Doyle when it comes to positioning and directing the defense from the all-important center spot.
If Donnal isn't a defensive liability, his diverse offensive game provides tantalizing possibilities on the other end of the floor—a Beilein-coached Michigan squad with five quality shooters on the floor... I'm not sure I can finish this sentence without getting faint.
I'm getting ahead of myself, though. Before DEATH FROM ABOVE is unleashed in its all-consuming form, Donnal must prove he brings enough rebounding and defense to the court to keep Michigan average in those areas, or he might lose playing time to...

I traveled to Roatan for the first time with my husband on April 5th. I had read some awful reviews after booking our reservations on Luna Beach (I know, it should've been the other way around) and I was so anxious that we would not have a pleasant experience. When we got there, I was surprised that everything was better than I could imagine. The hotel was in good condition (It's as fancy as you can get in West End, but I think that they could exploit it more to make it better) and the staff was helpful and nice to us. Our room was clean and tidy, and the A/C worked just fine (contrary to a review I read a while back). In fact at night it got so cold that we had to turn it off and it wasn't noisy at all. The walks along the seashore at night (Luna Beach - West End) were pretty safe even at 2 am - just bring a flashlight to light your way. It was a memorable experience and we will be staying there next time we visit Roatan.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This resort offers a perfect get away, with Beach Suites on the beach, Tropical Houses and Premium Houses up in the Jungle. With a private beach, beautiful sunsets, first class Dive Center, full service restaurant/bar, gift shop, beautiful landscaping, swimming pool, and much more all on 33 acres. Their location is superb, with its very secluded setting, but a mere 10 minute walk along the beach to West End, so no expensive taxi fares.

1999 Buick Century Q&A
1999 Buick Century Question: will starts but sometimes clicks
I have a 1999 buick century with a 116k miles my problem just started one day I went 2 the gas station and out of the blue my car wouldn't start and every time I turned the ignition key it just clicked now it does it more often the strange part is when it doesn't start I get a jump and it start right up and runs great there's no lights on at all so please help and tell me what's the problem - kristerfern
3 Answers
Answer 1
Time to replace the starter. - backyard tech
Answer 2
It does sound as if the starter motor is failing. I would have the battery & connections checked as well. Weak voltage from the battery or a loose or dirty connection either at the battery or at the starter can possibly cause or at least be contributing to the problem. It's a good idea to check the battery cables also. You should pay particular attention to the ground cable. This cable connects the ground side of the battery to the engine block. These connections have to be solid and clean. I hope this helps! Thanks Ron (AutoPros-Buford GA) - autopros
Answer 3
Check that the battery cables are clean and tight. Charge and test the battery to ensure it is OK (The battery is tested using a hydrometer and or a high Rate Discharge test), ensure the alternator is charging the battery properly. If the battery and connections are OK then the starter is most likely faulty. - patrick mannion

Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers: Preview and Pick
- Updated: December 21, 2013
The Oakland Raiders are a team that is rebuilding and after getting demolished by the Kansas City Chiefs, you have to wonder how much the Raiders have left in them. Meanwhile the San Diego Chargers are making a run to the NFL post season as they recently upset the Denver Broncos on the road and are looking to win out by beating the Raiders and the Chiefs to make it into the post season.
Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers Preview
The NFL odds for this game opened up with the Chargers listed as (-7.5) point favorites. After the ugly game by the Raiders, the early betting jumped on the Chargers band wagon as over 70 percent of the early wagers are backing the Bolts. This push moved the line past the 7.5 and all the way up; to ten points at several of the top rated online sportsbooks.
The Chargers are winning ballgames by running the rock. Ryan Mathews: 127 rushing yards for Chargers. He's the 1st player to rush for at least 100 yards in a game against the Broncos this season (last to do so in regular season was Jamaal Charles in 2012 Week 12– 107 yards). Mathews' 127 yards were the most by anyone in a regular-season game against the Broncos since Stevan Ridley of the New England Patriots had 151 in 2012 Week 5. If the Raiders could not stop Jamaal Charles, they will have problems stopping Matthews and the Chargers from getting another big win as they head towards the NFL playoffs.
The latest football betting trends for this game reveal that both teams have some negative wagering angles for this AFC West matchup. The Raiders are 1-4-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game, 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game and 17-35-1 ATS in their last 53 games in December. The Chargers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game and 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win.
Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers Pick
With plenty of time before kickoff we will wait for more information to come in before we select a side on this contest. Make sure to check the forum during the week and on the day of the game for our free pick and to get the latest and most up to date information on the game.

Staff from the AA and members of trade union GMB today protested against Folkestone-based company Saga over its decision to float on the stock exchange.
GMB, representing staff from the AA, staged the protest outside Saga's offices in Middelburg Square in Folkestone town centre this morning (Wednesday).
The union say they held the protest because the AA, one of the country's leading vehicle and breakdown recovery services, will be left with £4 billion worth of debts when Saga are floated on the stock exchange.

The company that owns the AA, Acromas which is owned by private equity companies Charterhouse, CVC Capital Partners and Permira, plans to split up Saga and the AA when Saga is floated on the stock exchange.

The project will be to give advice, and support (per hour consulting) to a Perl coder unfamiliar with POE rather than actually writing code (although I may provide, and ask for code samples).
The main question I am currently looking for advice on is:
I have decided to implement a "ping", whereby the server running "Component::Server::TCP" sends a packet to a client (in Wireshark this shows up as PSH, ACK), and that client sends back an [ACK]. Based on the client either responding or not responding (i.e. an ACK going back to the server or no ACK being received within a specific time period) I would like to use this to determine if the client has gone away.
