Politics of Faith Guest Dr. William Barber
With Moral Mondays, Rev. Barber has channeled the pent-up frustration of North Carolinians who were shocked by how quickly their state had been transformed into a laboratory for conservative policies. "He believed we needed to kind of burst this bubble of 'There's nothing we can do for two years until the next election,'" explains Al McSurely, a longtime NAACP organizer. But what may be most notable about Barber's new brand of civil rights activism is how he's taken a partisan fight and presented it as an issue that transcends party or race—creating a more sustained pushback against Republican overreach than anywhere else in the country.
Barber fears that Republican lawmakers' efforts to expand private-school vouchers will resegregate the very schools his parents worked to integrate. As NAACP president, he helped pass legislation establishing same-day voter registration and expanding death penalty appeals—bills that Republicans repealed in the last legislative session.

A Kind Voice on Books
in Books
Tonight's guest is fiction author Frank S. Joseph, who has written a novel called To Love Mercy. The book is a stream of conscious narrative set in 1940s Chicago, and deals with race and ethnicity in a segregated city. The narrative follows two main characters who are young boys–one black, one white–who, through their explorations and adventures become friends, while their parents and neighbors seem unable to release themselves from the grip of fear and long standing racial insecurity. To Love Mercy has won The Eric Hoffer Award for Excellence in Independent Publishing, and is written by an author who grew up in and knows the streets of Chicago as well as its history. It's a testament to the power of youth at a time when young people may have been the best hope for changing the scenery in regards to race relations.
You can order To Love Mercy at www.frankjoseph.com. Every copy will arrive autographed by the author.

Artists illustration of early Earth, 4.5 billion years ago, about a year after a Mars-sized object hit Earth and formed the Earth-Moon system. The still molten moon with an impact in progress (upper left) is viewed from Earths volcanic surface. Meteorites and comets -- like the comet visible in the sky -- delivered materials needed for life on Earth. Rings remaining from the collision and other debris, including moonlets not yet swept up by the moon, are visible. An Orion-like nebula appears at upper right. (Painting copyrighted by artist James V. Scotti, UA Lunar & Planetary Lab)
University of Arizona scientists have discovered that meteorites, particularly iron meteorites, may have been critical to the evolution of life on Earth.
Their research shows that meteorites easily could have provided more phosphorus than naturally occurs on Earth -- enough phosphorus to give rise to biomolecules which eventually assembled into living, replicating organisms.

What Louisville could learn about affordable housing from Nashville
Send this story to a friend
- Cary Stemle
- Managing editor- Business First
- Email | Twitter
A recent National Public Radio story began with this line: "The United States is in the midst of what Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan calls the 'worst rental affordability crisis' ever."
The intro for the story, which focused on affordable housing challenges in Washington, D.C., goes on to say that poor families have been hit the hardest, with many spending more than half of their income on rent and many living in substandard housing or homeless shelters.
My mind went immediately to Cathy Hinko, who is the subject of the In Person profile in Business First's latest weekly edition.
Hinko is the executive director of the Metropolitan Housing Coalition, a nonprofit organization that advocates for fair and affordable housing policy through research, analysis and calls to action.
MHC partners with several organizations from the private and nonprofit sectors. And, as I've learned since interviewing her for the profile, Hinko is widely known and respected in the business community.
Interestingly — and this isn't in the profile because I ran out of space — Hinko earned a law degree from Vanderbilt University Law, where she met and befriended a fellow named Bill Purcell.
After graduating, they both moved to Jackson, Tenn., to work for a legal aid organization.
Hinko moved to Louisville in 1983 to work for the Legal Aid Society, and Purcell eventually returned to Nashville and was elected mayor. He served two terms, from 1999 to 2007.
Success in Nashville
Like many U.S. cities, Purcell told me, Nashville's development codes effectively had pushed residents out of the city core and into the suburbs. When he took office, only 900 people lived downtown in a city of 625,000.

Layer cake housing, where new storeys are added to existing houses, pop-up homes made from shipping containers, and homes that you can create using 3D printing — the housing crisis is certainly encouraging some of architecture's best brains to think outside the box when it comes to providing nests for young Londoners. And with the average first-time buyer in the capital now having to save for 24 years and needing a deposit of almost £60,000 to get on the property ladder, it's high time we had some creative solutions. Here is some of the best blue-sky thinking on housing for London.
*(build your own home)
In the middle of the Victorian terraces of Queen's Park there's a shiny, boxy white house that stands out from the red-bricks. "When people see it from the outside, they think it will be minimalist and sterile," says its owner, Gus Zogolovitch, managing director of Solidspace, a company that designs and builds eco-homes. "But when they come inside they see the light and how the space is used, and become convinced that new-builds can be full of character, especially if you are involved in the design yourself."
Zogolovitch is leading what he calls "a quiet revolution" in self-builds, "reinventing the Victorian terrace". At the moment only one in four people would consider buying a house that is under 10 years old, according to the Royal Institute of British Architects, but if designed well they can be more attractive, efficient and cheaper than period homes.
Houses built by Solidspace aim to slash up to 20 per cent off the price. They do this by cutting out the developer's costs — you don't need to pay one if you're building a new house with an architecture firm — and being more energy efficient and flexible.
"It's an easyJet-style, pay-as-you-go model," says Zogolovitch. "If you can't afford the kitchen of your dreams you can get a prefabricated shell from us and fit a cheap Ikea one until you've saved up for the one you really want."
Indy Johar of strategy and design practise 00:/ has been working on a project called WikiHouse, which will let you design and make your own house using 3D printing. The Government is becoming convinced. At the moment there are around 15,000 self-builds a year but the Government would like to increase that to 50,000. This is still low for Europe. In Germany, about 60 per cent of houses are self-builds but here that figure is more like 10 per cent. It could only take three weeks to build one of these shells in a factory.
Group DIY
Imagine you and your neighbours had designed your block of flats together. Part of the reason for there not being many self-builds is that it's risky to do it alone, but if you team up it's far easier. Zogolovitch has found a site in Peckham and is looking for people who want to get on the housing ladder and would get together to pay for a new block of six flats. "There is less risk if you share the costs," he says.
Out of office
Want to live in a modern flat with a new kitchen and a great view? London doesn't have a shortage of buildings, it's just that a lot of them were designed as offices. Finn Williams, an architect-turned-planner, is working on transforming them into housing, starting in Croydon, where there are more than 1,000 empty offices. "By constantly trying to reinvent everything from scratch architects and planners can end up sidelining themselves," he says. They might need a few more bathrooms or kitchens fitted but the potential is there.
Pop-up housing
Mark Beard, of Crate apartments, wants to use old shipping containers to make modular, temporary housing. "They can be easily put up," he says. "This way we can house a few people for at least six months at a time, and then the housing can be taken elsewhere. Councils will benefit because they will get income from council tax and deal with the problem of unsightly wasteland."
Layer cake construction
One solution lies right above our heads. Build up and slim down. Indy Johar of 00:/ has been working on a project exploring what would happen if people were allowed to add two more floors to their houses. "If you could grow your own house it could solve a lot of problems," he says. "People with a two-floor house could add two more and make two maisonettes, then sell one and live in the other."
Charles Holland, a director at FAT architects, has worked with Selfridges and on the BBC Media Village in Cardiff, and has won RIBA awards for his work. He says we shouldn't dismiss extending upwards by stacking more space on top of existing buildings.
Meanwhile, Mark Beard believes many houses don't need to be so big. "We're making every aspect of our lives smaller — my whole hi-fi is now on a tiny iPad, yet houses haven't caught up. It's an aspirational thing, we see celebrities living in big houses so we think we need them."
Don't own a house at all. It can be liberating to forget about a mortgage and just rent. That's what they do in other parts of the world. Adopting a more European approach is one solution, says Professor Chris Hamnett, of King's College London's geography department. "If we move away from the fixation on home ownership and idea that housing is an investment opportunity and switch to rental models it will help."
On the Continent the obsession with buying a home is far less pronounced because the rental sector is more tightly controlled than in Britain, where tenants are completely at the mercy of private landlords. In Germany, for example, some rents are controlled by local authorities. Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from them.

Grain, livestock markets proved quite mixed Tuesday
South Korean buyers bought corn heavily over the weekend, although only a modest portion of those purchases will apparently come from the U.S. Private Israeli procurement agents also issued international tenders for 135,000 tonnes of corn Tuesday morning. These reports suggest the yellow grain market has fallen far enough to get product moving around the world once again. In fact, one has to wonder if yellow grain prices would have responded more robustly if major USDA crop reports were not looming on Friday. Traders may be particularly interested in the USDA estimate of forthcoming South American production, since a substantial shift in that result could exert great influence over 2013 corn prices. March corn climbed 6 1/2 cents to $6.92/bushel on the day, while December gained 4 1/2 cents to $5.79.
Soybean futures posted an impressive performance Tuesday, despite the fact that the nearby contracts ended the day near unchanged levels. That is, late morning and early afternoon CBOT trading was dominated by talk that the USDA will boost its estimate of first-half 2013 South American soybean product rather substantially, with many now thinking forecast Brazilian output will reach a record high. And while Chicago traders may be evening up their positions prior to the Friday report, the firmness displayed in these circumstances seemed to indicate considerable underlying strength. March beans ended their Tuesday session having slipped just 1/2 cent to $13.88/bushel, while March soyoil tumbled 0.37 cents to 49.59 cents/pound and March meal climbed $2.7 to $411.6/ton.
It looks as if the Southern Plains and southern portions of the Midwest will be blessed with substantial rainfall over the next 2-3 days, thereby seeming to presage a significant improvement in winter wheat production prospects. However, forecasters are also anticipating a major shift back toward frigid temperatures over the U.S. midsection next week. That seemed to raise fears of winterkill in some areas of the Winter Wheat Belt, which in turn appeared to be push wheat futures higher in the face of flat-to-weak corn and soybean prices. The early afternoon release of a wire service survey may have weighed upon prices as well, since it implied winter wheat plantings reached 42.69 million acres last fall; that would represent a four-year high. March CBOT wheat settled 3/4 cent higher at $7.52/bushel Tuesday, while March KCBT wheat rose 2 cents to $8.09 1/2 and March MGE futures slipped 2 3/4 cents to $8.43 3/4.

"Through these propositions, we intend to gain market share in key businesses, such as digital cellular telephones, where significant new products are planned for introduction before the end of the third quarter, and embedded semiconductors."
"We believe our 'voice-print' technology will make it easier to implement user-friendly cellular gambling, including the new generation of video-enabled cell phones. We are most excited about how dynamic the application of our technology can be within the vast international cellular-gambling business."
"There are still definitely opportunities to be exploited in the mobile cellular market-place but there are also a number of new and old uncertainties."
"A single base station will handle 30,000 subscribers using 300 minutes per month, based on current cellular-usage models. But we expect to drive a change in usage patterns. Even at 3,600 minutes per month, the system will support 2,500 users."
"Mobile gaming continues to grow exponentially as broadband cellular networks roll out, consumer awareness increases, and handsets become more robust graphically. We are therefore particularly pleased to enter this segment led by world-class management and development teams, with proven success in development and porting, a string of top-selling, premium-branded titles already in the catalog, and a very strong pipeline of innovative product in development."

Anodyne Vao - Dark Child of Tython Chapter 3TattoineAt the bottom of the Great Pit of Carkoon, the feared and deadly Sarlacc waited patiently in silence for it's next meal. Thirty feet above the hundreds of teeth that ringed the Sarlacc's gaping maw, Anodyne Vao, Dark Lady of the Sith was ready to give the Sarlacc that very meal. Before, bound in stun cuffs and clad in old dirty cloaks stood three Jawa's, faceless except for the pair of glowing yellow eyes that peeked out from the black voids under their hoods. There had been ten Jawa's originally, when she and Iveta walked into her safehouse to find the little scavengers busy stripping the place bare. The other five had been killed when they tried to resist capture, two more had died under interrogation, leaving Anodyne to try a more persuasive approach with the final three."I will ask only three times." Anodyne said allowing the full anger she felt to be heard in her voice. Unlike most humanoids the Jawa's did not seem susceptible to

It was just supposed to be a regular inspection they told themselves as they had watched over the ships security cameras as a cloaked figure in black, trailed by another cloaked in brown cut his or her way through the engineering crew with a lightsaber. They had tried to send a distress call to Dromund Kaas, but quickly found out that all forms of communication were being jammed.

Breed – Mastiff
Personality:Courageous and dignified, but good-natured and docile
Coat & Grooming:The short, smooth coat needs occasional brushing; head wrinkles must be kept clean and dry
Energy Level:Somewhat Active; An adult Mastiff is content with long walks and a good romp
Originally: England
Nicknames: None
Size: Large
For the uninitiated, a face-to-face encounter with these black-masked giants can be startling. Standing as high as 30 inches at the shoulder and outweighing many a full-grown man, Mastiffs make an immediate and lasting impression. The rectangular body is deep and thickly muscled, covered by a short double coat of fawn, apricot, or brindle-stripe. The head is massive (a word that comes up often with this breed), and a wrinkled forehead accentuates an alert, kindly expression.
Giant, fearless war dogs generally classified as mastiffs are a running motif in the ancient history of Egypt, Asia, and Europe. Julius Caesar wrote that his legions fought against some form of the breed during the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 b.c. Mastiffs as we know them were developed in medieval England. In the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer calls them Alaunts (a French breed name) and says they were "as great as any steer/To hunt at the lion or the deer."
Neapolitan Mastiff
It's been a long time since Mastiffs have been employed as warriors or hunters. Modern Mastiffs are steady, sweet-tempered, patient family companions and guardians who take best to gentle training. Eternally loyal, Mastiffs are protective of their loved ones, and their natural wariness of strangers makes it essential that they be trained and socialized in early puppyhood. They are droolers and hearty eaters, and acquiring a dog of such colossal size and strength is a weighty commitment.
See more Mastiff photos here
By the end of WWII, only 14 Mastiffs remained in all of England.
These 15 breeds live by the motto, "Bigger is Better"

Michigan's Busy December: Legislature Passes Several Employment-Related Bills
Although passage of Right-to-Work legislation in Michigan dominated political headlines in December, the Michigan Legislature also pushed through a number of additional bills that will impact Michigan employers.
Internet Privacy Protection Act prohibits employer access to social media passwords
With the passage of H.B. 5523 (2012 P.A. 478), signed into law by Governor Rick Snyder on Dec. 27, 2012, Michigan became the fourth state to bar employers from asking job applicants for passwords to the applicant's social media accounts and other private internet accounts. The Internet Privacy Protection Act prohibits employers from asking employees or applicants "to grant access to, allow observation of, or disclose information that allows access to or observation of the employee's or applicant's personal internet account." The law does not prohibit employers from requiring access to an account or service used by an employee for the employer's business purposes or from accessing or monitoring an electronic communications device paid for by the employer. The law also does not prohibit an employer from accessing or reviewing online content that an applicant or employee makes publicly available. Violations of the act are punishable by a maximum civil fine of $1,000, and applicants or employees who have been the subject of a violation of the act may bring a civil action to recover up to $1,000 in damages, plus costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. The law was passed with immediate effect.
Medical marijuana not covered by workers compensation
On Dec. 27, 2012, the Governor also signed into law S.B. 933 (2012 P.A. 481), which amended the state's worker's disability compensation regulations to specifically state that an employer who is required to reimburse a worker for medical expenses is not required to reimburse for charges for medical marijuana treatment. Michigan legalized medical marijuana by ballot initiative in November 2008.
State workplace health and safety regulation limited
The Michigan Legislature also passed several bills in December related to workplace health and safety regulation which practically eliminate Michigan's development of more restrictive workplace health and safety standards, deferring instead to federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulations. S.B. 1335 (2012 P.A. 415), signed by Governor Snyder on Dec. 20, 2012, requires that Michigan's workplace health and safety rules not exceed federal standards unless "a clear and convincing need" for Michigan-specific regulation can be shown. Governor Snyder also signed H.B. 5922, H.B. 5917, and S.B. 1336, which eliminate the state's General Industry Standards Commission, Construction Safety Standards Commission, and Occupational Health Standards Commission, respectively.
Changes to concealed weapons laws vetoed
Finally, a concealed weapons bill that would have affected some Michigan employers was vetoed by Governor Snyder on Dec. 18, 2012. S.B. 59 would have allowed certain concealed pistol license holders who obtained additional training to carry a concealed weapon in schools, churches, hospitals, entertainment facilities and other locations which under the current law do not permit concealed weapons on the premises, even if a person has a license. In a statement, the Governor highlighted the inability of public institutions like schools to opt out of the law (the law as passed allowed private venues to opt out) as one reason why he vetoed the law. The bill passed the Michigan Legislature only one day prior to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut on Dec. 14, 2012, which likely prompted additional scrutiny by the Governor.

The untold story of the men and women behind the most globally influential music to come out of Japan.
I just came across a documentary series about… Japanese Video Game Music. And I think I'm in love.
This stuff really gets me going!
Heart Monitor T-Shirt in Action!
The T-Shirt is DONE.
I've hot glued an ear clip to the pulse sensor and it's much more reliable than before. I can move my head around and it won't pick up any noise or anything.
Heart Rate T-Shirt
It's ready to be sewn in!
For the T-Shirt I'm making, (link) I needed a way to measure someone's pulse. The pulse sensor Adafruit sells has some example code that runs on a regular 5 volt Arduino, but GEMMA isn't your everyday Arduino clone. It runs on an ATtiny85 (vs ATmega328) and has some limitations. It runs at a lower voltage and has less timers.
To get the timers working, this is what you need to do. Find the following code in Interrupt.ino:
void interruptSetup(){
// Initializes Timer2 to throw an interrupt every 2mS.
TCCR2A = 0x02; // DISABLE PWM ON DIGITAL PINS 3 AND 11, AND GO INTO CTC MODE
TCCR2B = 0x06; // DON'T FORCE COMPARE, 256 PRESCALER
OCR2A = 0X7C; // SET THE TOP OF THE COUNT TO 124 FOR 500Hz SAMPLE RATE
TIMSK2 = 0x02; // ENABLE INTERRUPT ON MATCH BETWEEN TIMER2 AND OCR2A
sei(); // MAKE SURE GLOBAL INTERRUPTS ARE ENABLED
ISR(TIMER2_COMPA_vect){ // triggered when Timer2 counts to 124
And replace it with this:
void interruptSetup()
// Initializes Timer1 to throw an interrupt every 2mS.
// The ATtiny85 datasheet (pages 89-92) really helped me out here - and lots of trial and error: http://www.atmel.com/images/atmel-2586-avr-8-bit-microcontroller-attiny25-attiny45-attiny85_datasheet.pdf
TCCR1 |= _BV(CTC1); //clear timer1 when it matches the value in OCR1C
TCCR1 |= _BV(CS12) | _BV(CS11) | _BV(CS10); //set prescaler to divide by 64 - 8MHz/64 = 125kHz frequency for each timer tick
TIMSK |= _BV(OCIE1A); //enable interrupt when OCR1A matches the timer value
* We can do some simple math here for timer calculations
* GOAL: We want a 2ms trigger, which in Hertz is 500Hz (1/2ms)
* What we have: 125khz timed clock (thanks to the 64 prescalar)
* 125khz/500Hz = 250, so we need to count from 1 to 250 (or 0 to 249) and then execute our interrupt service routine
OCR1A = 249; //set the match value for interrupt - 125kHz/250 = 500Hz = 2ms (don't forget we start at a zero count, not 1)
OCR1C = 249; //and the same match value to clear the timer - otherwise it will continue to count and overflow
sei(); // MAKE SURE GLOBAL INTERRUPTS ARE ENABLED
ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect){ // triggered when Timer1 counts to 254
With this, your timer should fire as expected. Here's a link to the entire Interrupts.ino file.
I hope this helps anyone trying to port over the code to work with GEMMA. I didn't go through everything you need to do to convert the code, but this was the biggest hiccup I encountered.
As an aside, another pain in the ass was figuring out that the input from pin 2 is read in through pin 1 via analogRead(1). I figured this out late.
If requested, I can write a post outlining the entire process. Good luck!
The heart monitor LED T-shirt is coming along!
The pulse sensor code uses interrupts that the Gemma doesn't have. I'll have to find another way…
Here are some sketches showing what I had in mind for the heart rate monitor t-shirt with heart shaped LEDs that pulse.
I learned from my last wearables project that having conductive thread showing on the outside of your clothes makes it look kinda messy, so this time I plan to make it clean. The idea here is to assemble all the components on a separate piece of fabric and attach it to the underside of the t-shirt so that you can't actually see the components when it's off and not blinking. When it's on, you should be able to see the light from behind the fabric. It's like a sandwich with the electronics in the middle.
Maker Faire here I come!
Get more info and buy your tickets for Las Vegas' Mini Maker Faire at http://makerfairevegas.com/
I need something to show! I gave away the LED hoodie and the vending machine is kinda large to bring.
I think I'll make another wearables project!
How about a heart rate monitor t-shirt with heart shaped LEDs?
I've been working really hard at getting everything to work and now that is has, I've gone ahead and shown you what it looks like (on my last post)
But I wanted to show all the parts I missed before I forget. This isn't a how-to, just more of a "what I did".
My niece is turning 15 and I thought she needed a more sophisticated/advanced present this year. What better way to show off her uniqueness than with a walking light show? LEDs were a hit recently in New York fashion too, so this fit perfect.
Every step from beginning to operational:
Secret Project Update
We have light! It took me forever to sew in the NeoPixels but they finally work.
I'll make another post later about the steps in between but for now, enjoy this video.

Vince McMahon Writes About Randy Savage, Calls Him A 'Building Block' Of WWE
by Amish Patel - May 27, 2011
The June 6, 2011 issue of TIME features an article on the late Randy Savage written by Vince McMahon. A preview of the article was released:
"It's important in sports and it's important in entertainment to stand out. Randy knew that. Right away, he wanted to leave his mark, and to do that he was aware he had to make himself different from everyone else. One way he did this was concentrating on his outfits, those brightly colored costumes with foot-long fringe that became his trademark. He brought to wrestling a unique look and style.
"Randy, who died in a car crash May 20 at age 58, was one of the building blocks of what is now WWE (previously known as the World Wrestling Federation). He had…"

US Airways touts $1.5B in savings, revenue to American's creditors
Send this story to a friend

A merger between US Airways Group Inc. and American Airlines could yield more than $1.5 billion per year in added revenue and cost savings, officials with US Airways are telling American's creditors.
That's according to a report in the Wall Street Journal that cites people familiar with the situation.
US Airways (NYSE:LCC) has not held formal discussions with the creditor committee involved in the American Airlines' Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, but the WSJ reports that the talks US Airways had conducted with creditors themselves could amount to an end-run around AMR Corp.'s efforts to negotiate with unions and bondholders.
AMR, American Airlines' Fort Worth-based parent company, filed for bankruptcy protection in November.
In a separate report, the WSJ's CIO Journal blog reported that any merger between US Airways and American Airlines would bring with it tremendous technology integration issues.
Former United Airlines Chief Information Officer Keith Halbert told the CIO Journal that American has lost a lot of its information-technology leadership and finding the right people would be critical.
"They've lost a lot of leaders," Halbert is quoted as saying. "They're going to need to get the right transformational leadership on board. They'll want a CIO who has been through mergers and the knitting together of two nervous systems."
Tempe, Ariz.-based US Airways operates its largest hub at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Speculation around a possible merger between Charlotte's dominant carrier and American Airlines has intensified since the start of 2012.

Farm bill statement shows complete disgust
A statement about Congress being unable to pass a new five-year farm bill by the National Corn Growers Association president puts the disgust of nearly everyone involved in agriculture in concise no-holds-barred terms.
National Corn Growers Association President Pam Johnson said, "America's farmers have clearly made known the importance and need of a new farm bill in 2012. Once again Congress' failure to act pushes agriculture aside hampering farmers' ability to make sound business decisions for the next five years. The National Corn Growers Association is tired of the endless excuses and lack of accountability. The system is clearly broken.
"We hope the 113th Congress proves to be more fruitful and that the leaders in Congress can place petty partisanship aside to create a bill that benefits all of America."

Edgar Lee Masters
Louise Smith
Herbert broke our engagement of eight years
When Annabelle returned to the village
From the Seminary, ah me!
If I had let my love for him alone
It might have grown into a beautiful sorrow --
Who knows? -- filling my life with healing fragrance.
But I tortured it, I poisoned it,
I blinded its eyes, and it became hatred --
Deadly ivy instead of clematis.
And my soul fell from its support,
Its tendrils tangled in decay.
Do not let the will play gardener to your soul
Unless you are sure
It is wiser than your soul's nature.

OT(?) - Thoughts on trolls
Yes I am a hothead, I admit to that, but does it bother anyone else to the point of homicidal rage when supporters of other teams crash our beloved all things Michigan site? I posted a diary titled 'Notre Dame in the rearview mirror' (listed above) and I have had more hits from an Irish fan than from the Mgoblog community at large. In all seriousness, who appreciates rival posters and who wants them eradicated? Maybe I am a nut but I can't think of a bigger waste of time than cruising another teams blog and posting argumentative comments. Am I alone?
Michigan and Texas Negotiating Home and Home
Looks like that 2nd team we will face in the far upcoming schedules will be Texas. I'll be going to Austin for that one, if I'm still alive:
As mentioned earlier and confirmed by @AnwarRichardson of http://t.co/ruK1bYfHbc, U-M and texas are negotiating a home/home series.

Non-MGoBlog Perception of Hoke / Michigan
Reading this blog, one can get a skewed sense of how (1) more casual Michigan fans, and (2) college football fans, generally, perceive our program. Sure, we all know about the great recruiting classes brought in, the youth of the O-Line, the "empty cupboard" that both RR and Hoke inherited, but sometimes we forget that non-MGoBlog fans don't know any of this. I relate below two recent interactions that I have had in the past 24 hours:
1. The first was at a neighborhood party (live in suburban NY), at which there were a good number of college football fans, including 5-6 who root for other Big Ten teams, as well as one other Michigan fan. When the discussion drifted to college football, the comments about Hoke / Michigan were somewhat eye-opening (paraghrased below despite use of quotation marks):
"you guys got smoked again - have you guys beaten anyone good since Lloyd Carr retired"
"saw your coach on sportscenter - he looked totally lost and confused. What's his deal? Why did they hire that guy?"
"I remember when Michigan was really good - they really have sucked for a while now"
"seems like you guys get worse every year."
"can't you guys find a decent coach? Between Richrod and this buffoon, you guys pick shitty coaches."
2. At a deposition yesterday (I am a lawyer), there were four lawyers. Aside from me, there was a Va Tech fan, an ND fan and a Wisconsin fan. At lunch, we were discussing the demise of the Big Ten and the Va Tech fan was going off about how our coach comes off as clueless and over his head. ND guy, who is actually a decent guy, agreed and was saying how shocked he and his Domer friends were at how poorly Michigan played. He was saying that the consensus amongst ND fans was that given our talent, they expected more. They were particularly shocked at how minimally we used to Funch. Wisco guy agreed about Hoke, but chalked up the Michigan decline to the general decline of the conference and RichRod allowing State to raid to in-state talent in from 2008-2010.
Obviously, we here are way more informed about our team than these more casual / non-Michigan fans. But, sometimes it is easy to lose the forest for the trees. So, while all of us can probably recite the depth chart by heart, and know all of the reasons for optimism / pessimism, perhaps we are missing the 10,000 foot view of these fans, which is that Michigan is in a real decline and our coach is perceived to be way over his head.
Going forward, if we don't start to win, I think that Brandon has to take into account the real decline in the perception of Michigan in the cfb world. Even if Hoke is a great guy and the excuses are valid (I know, strong if w/r/t excuses), if we don't start to win this year, Brandon may have to consider making a change to prevent the slide in public perception of Michigan.
Poor Damn Toussaint - Fitz waived by the Ravens
Fitz waived by the Ravens:
Reality and the Offensive Line
At some point, does reality have to set in regarding the oline? Being the least productive--or close to least--in the country over a span of ten or so games with these highly-ranked recruits?
I know that this issue has been parsed by knowledgeable people here (but maybe not in one concentrated debate like I would like to invite here, now). I accept that Funk had a serious shitstorm to deal with, including attrition, recruiting failures, and three different systems over four-five years. I also know that there is evidence of incremental improvement.
Is that enough to explain the ineptitude? Maybe it is? Tell me. Or can we point to other schools and their experiences and say--yes, but it ought to be a hell of a lot better than this? At what point is it completely legitimate to say, sorry but that can no longer be our excuse. Yesterday? Now? Over the next few games? Next year?
EDIT: I am interested in the way some things get accepted as truth around here. A lot of people are responding that the oline did well Saturday and that our problems go well beyond. I accept that they go beyond, but our backs averaged 2.5 yards a run Saturday. How is that acceptable? Looking forward (sort of) to the UFR to make better sense of this.

Country Forecast Romania Updater
- Language: English
- 19 Pages
- Published: August 2014
- Region: Romania
The four-party centre-right Alliance for Sweden returned to government in September 2010, but fell short of a majority. Given the large lead of the Social Democratic Party (SAP)-led opposition, The Economist Intelligence Unit predicts a change of government after the election on September 14th 2014. Polling trends this year show that support for the smaller centrist government parties could exceed 4%, reducing the margin of the opposition victory.
The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) may hold the balance of power after the election, but will be shunned by all the main parties in coalition negotiations. As a result, a centre-left minority government is likely. The SAP leader, Stefan Lofven, is set to succeed Fredrik Reinfeldt as prime minister, although the parliamentary strength of a Lofven-led government is uncertain.
The 2014 budget bill contained a variety of stimulus measures, including personal income tax cuts. Banking sector regulation will be tightened further in the coming years, with stricter capital and liquidity rules. New macro-prudential measures will address longer-term, structural risk from high household debt.

Civil rights law author: It's time to debate adding gay rights
Michigan's landmark civil rights law was celebrated today as a legal milestone in a ceremony at the state Capitol that re-united the two main sponsors of the legislation.
State Representative Daisy Elliott was a Democrat from Detroit. State Representative Mel Larsen was a Republican from Oakland County.
The 36-year-old Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act protects against discrimination based on race, religion, gender; national origin, or marital status.
Larsen says he's pleased with how the law has worked, but he'd like to see a debate in Lansing about adding gay rights to the law.
"I'm not taking a side on it at this point in time," he said. "I'm saying there should be the debate, the fair open debate about whether we should put it in the law or not, and, if not, what should we do to guarantee equal access to gays and lesbians."
There has been legislation introduced in the Legislature to add sexual orientation to the protections in the civil rights law. There are no hearings planned on the bills.
Larsen says it was a lot of work to build a bipartisan coalition to approve the legislation. He's not sure the same thing could happen today in the era of legislative term limits.
