Background To address the challenge of conserving biodiversity outside of protected areas, conservation organizations are assessing the range of land and natural resource-use management tools, especially on community-land, to achieve biodiversity conservation. Among these tools are zoning, long-term land leases, voluntary easements, measures to secure tenure, and land purchases. The application of these new tools on community land depends in large measure on the law and practice of land tenure and natural resource property rights in the individual countries. ABCG organizations are working to advance the use of new land tools for biodiversity conservation and local development purposes on land outside the protected areas in Kenya and Tanzania. This work is supported by the US Agency for International Developments' Biodiversity Analysis and Technical Support (BATS) Program of its Africa Bureau.
In the past year, ABCG member organizations including AWF, JGI, TNC and WRI have collaborated to review land tenure issues in key countries including Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe; analyzed communal conservancies and related strategies in several countries; and examine the law and practice of private land-use restrictions and assess their usefulness in achieving biodiversity conservation outside the protected estate. Much progress has been achieved in illuminating land use constraints, and uncovering opportunities for intervention as a first step in tackling poverty, biodiversity loss and conflict resolution. This paves the way to helping communities and governments at all levels implement a knowledge-based strategy integrating biodiversity conservation into local, regional and national development plans. Key results from the below activites were shared in an ABCG Thematic Meeting on October 2, 2012.Development of integrated Management Plan for the Greater Mahale Ecosystem (GME), Tanzania (JGI & TNC)
ABCG members the Jane Goodall Institute and The Nature Conservancy are working together with the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) to assist local governments and citizen in general land management planning in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem of Western Tanzania.
Conservation Business Model Development (AWF)With support from USAID's BATS program, ABCG member AWF developed a proposed business model to be used by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority to achieve tourism sustainability in its Parks, using Hwange National Park in Northwestern Zimbabwe as the pilot area.AWF has also developed a business model to pilot application of the indigenization of the wildlife sector focused on the Save Conservancy in Zimbabwe's Southeast Lowveld which has been the center of controversy between government, local communities and private land owners. This will include valuation, zoning and community engagement. The model will be presented to the relevant ministry for review and endorsement. Information and data was collected through site visits, discussions with key partner (i.e. Conservancy members and staff, ZPWMA staff), economic valuations, and community engagement using AWF staff directly and commissioned consultancy. Several high level meetings were held between AWF Senior Program staff led by the AWF President and ZPWMA management, board of trustees, the Minister, USAID Mission & other donors, and partners in Zimbabwe to discuss the findings. By the end of the year, a 'Report of Study and Recommended Model for Piloting' was completed and is being finalized for presentation to the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Management to endorse recommended course of action.
Research on Overlapping Land and Natural Resource Property Rights (WRI) In many African countries, most land and natural resources are either the property of the state or are public resources vested in or held in trust by the government for the people. While the state may be the owner, rights of access, control, transfer and exclusion—the bundle of property rights—are held under customary tenure arrangements or grants by the state under formal law for land and various natural resources on or below the land (e.g., minerals, oil, natural gas, water, trees, and wildlife). Under formal law, these property rights regimes are separate and distinct. The rights to land often include only surface rights and not rights to these natural resources. As a result, different individuals or institutions may hold surface and natural resource rights on the same plot of land. While considerable attention has focused on protecting against overlapping land (surface) rights, less attention has focused on reconciling overlapping surface and natural resource rights. Conflict can arise when the various holders of surface and natural resource rights on the same piece of land seek to exercise their rights in ways that contradict each other. For example, when the holder of surface rights wishes to farm the land, while the holder of mineral rights wants to mine, or the holder of tree rights wishes to log the forest, while the holder of wildlife rights wants to manage the forest for game viewing. Security in land is weakened when the holders of natural resource rights are legally empowered to limit or restrict the surface rights held by others. In most African countries, the property rights regime for land and various natural resources are established and governed by different laws, and implemented principally by different government agencies. For example, land laws provide for surface property rights and sectoral laws (e.g., mineral, petroleum, forest, wildlife, water and other natural resources) establish the property rights regime for the various natural resources. While the land laws are generally silent on the exercise of natural resource rights on land in which surface rights are held by an individual, many natural resource laws provide for the rights and obligations of natural resource and surface rights holders. For example, the mineral laws often establish the authorities that holders of mineral rights have to enter onto land (surface rights) held by another individual, and the procedures to exercise their mineral rights. Many mineral laws also provide for some roles and responsibilities of surface rights holders regarding the exercise of mineral rights. WRI's research focuses on the laws that govern land and natural resource property rights and the implications for the holder of the land (surface) rights. The review of laws included petroleum, minerals and trees/forests in six African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia. WRI is developing a series of recommendations designed to reduce conflict and promote development, including harmonizing legislation and promoting more coordination across the government agencies responsible for implementing the laws. The full report will be completed in FY2013.
2012 ABCG Land Use & Governance Thematic Meeting: Land under Pressure—Competition, Opportunities and Implications for Conservation
ABCG held a thematic meeting on Land Tenure and Biodiversity: Analyzing Biodiversity Conservation and Governance to Prevent Conflict and Crisis. Jimmiel Mandima, Program Director of Policy with the Africa Wildlife Foundation served as Chair and moderator on this open meeting that featured recent work in the field and a lively discussion with all participants.
Key themes of the meeting included:
The following is a summary of the presentation points and proceedings.
Implementation of Land Policy for Improved Ecosystem Management and Land Tenure in Western Tanzania
Emmanuel Mtiti, Program Director, the Jane Goodall Institute-Tanzania; Matt Brown, Conservation Director, The Nature Conservancy Africa Region
The landscape of Western Tanzania is seriously threatened by incompatible development, unsustainable farming techniques, destructive and uncontrolled wildfires, and inadequate local capacity to establish and enforce more environmentally friendly land use policies and practices. Gradual encroachment has caused significant negative impact on sustainable development and habitat preservation in the region. Co-presented by Mtiti and Brown, the discussion focused on how the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and partners are working with authorities from the village to the national level in a land use planning process to address on-going threats.
Available opportunities exist within the country policy framework to improve management of critical ecosystems in Western Tanzania and reduce conflicts in the utilization of forests while improving the livelihoods of the local population. Through an intense participatory process, JGI and Frankfurt Zoological Society have completed 63 village land use plans and 37 village land forest reserves in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem. This contributes to the process of integrating local planning with regional and national natural resource planning and management. Brown shared that the recently completed 15 month survey for assessing critical chimpanzee habitat is being used by government officials to identify priority conservation sites and reach consensus regarding the conservation status for each of those sites within the Greater Mahale Ecosystem. This information is being used to define the most critical forest protection sites for existing chimpanzee populations and for connectivity within this broader ecosystem. The resulting knowledge is being discussed with district and higher government officials to consider the value of the resource inventory and implications for management, local livelihoods and conservation. A forest protection blue-print will be produced that will result in the creation of new protected areas–village forest reserves and national forest reserves.
Mtiti emphasized that the most challenging issue for land tenure in Tanzania is in poor management, rather than a need to reform the constitution. It is important for villagers to develop village land use plans and to register clearly demarcated land, thereby avoid land grabs especially in densely populated areas. Having done this, villagers can pursue customary land use rights that are legally binding that could be honored as collateral for bank loans.
Securing Land and Community Benefits through Creative Conservation Tools and Models: Research and Practice in Zimbabwe, Kenya and South Africa
Kathleen Fitzgerald, Director of Land Conservation, Africa Wildlife Foundation
The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has explored land tenure, environmental easements, carbon mitigation, co-management agreements and conservancy models in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and South Africa. Fitzgerald highlighted some of their key findings and featured the work AWF is conducting in Zimbabwe around developing conservancy models as part of achieving provisions of the country's indigenization policy as well as economic, social and ecological sustainability.
The Zimbabwe government invited AWFs assistance with an initial review of the state of the nation's conservation estate that includes three major designations:
All three areas have experienced wildlife declines due to a number of factors including land use conversion, poaching, unplanned resettlement as part of the Land Reform Program, lack of capacity because of the financial situation and mismanagement. AWF is implementing a variety of strategies to address these threats, and was invited by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority to help develop a proposed model for conservancies in Zimbabwe that meet the Indigenization and Economic Empowerment policy of 2007. AWF's proposal includes indigenization through the engagement of the communities that live in and around conservancies.
While conservancies vary throughout Africa, they offer a suite of universal benefits to land, natural resource management, community empowerment, tourism diversity, revenue generation and biodiversity conservation. The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority requested AWF to use Save Valley Conservancy as a pilot site for AWF to develop a model that achieves economic, social and environmental sustainability. Fitzgerald discussed some of the best practices AWF has reviewed in Africa for conservancy management and development and shared some of the proposed model in Zimbabwe. She reviewed Zimbabwe's Land Reform Policy and how this had and continues to have a direct impact on wildlife conservation in Zimbabwe.
Overlapping Land and Natural Resource Rights in Africa: A Comparative Analysis
Peter Veit, Interim Director of Institutions and Governance Program, World Resources Institute
Peter Veit discussed the authorities granted by government to natural resource licensees to enter onto and use privately-held land (including communal/customary land and private conservancies) for purposes of exercising their resource rights. He focused on petroleum and mineral concession holders in Ghana, Liberia, Kenya and Uganda. Some comparison was also made with the authorities granted to the holders of tree and forest rights.
Veit's work with the World Resources Institute (WRI) has focused on the spectrum of restrictions on privately-held land—from restrictions with minor impacts on land use and values to regulatory takings. Of note is the contrast with US land rights where land ownership comes with rights to many natural resources, while in the study countries, there are separate and distinct land and many natural resource property rights regimes. Veit's research shows that mineral and petroleum laws provide resource licensees with considerable authorities to use private land for their operations.
The situation with trees and forests is more complex but in some countries the forestry laws better recognize land rights than mineral and petroleum laws. Still, commercial use usually requires government approval management plans and certain species have use restrictions or are fully protected.
There is ample room to increase options for landowners to lobby for stronger land rights such as requesting rent from licensees to use private land, mandating landholder consent for licensees to use natural resources, and allowing landowners to use land in conjunction with licensee, etc. Many contradictions exist between land and natural resource laws that need to be harmonized.
Empowering Communities: Recognizing Land Rights as a Path to Collaboration
Karol Boudreaux, Africa Land Tenure Specialist, U.S. Agency for International Development—Economic Growth, Education and Environment
Karol Boudreaux presented on emerging land tenure and land governance issues in Africa and focused on large-scale land acquisitions, private-sector investment and the opportunity presented by the adoption of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) to address conflict related to competing land uses and how USAID is thinking about these issues and challenges.
The VGGT offers land and resource managers fundamental guidelines on land use planning and administration. Adoption of the VGGT provides an important "window of opportunity" to tackle issues including protecting customary rights, integrating gender concerns, recognizing secondary and tertiary rights (most typically to natural resources) and supporting responsible investing by private sector actors. Boudreaux highlighted how some community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) best practices can be applied to work with communities, farmers' associations, etc. to build more collaborative contracting models that empower communities.
Governance is a systemic process that relates to the rule of law, political concerns and local power structures. Land tenure professionals would benefit from incorporating more comprehensive, integrated approaches to their practices so as to incorporate not only institutions allocating and enforcing laws, but also informal sector institutions, traditional leaders and customary practices.
Demand for land in Africa is high but tenure rights on the ground are often weak. Locals need assurances that their rights are realized and honored thus promoting a sense of ownership and resource stewardship. For example, empowering local communities to transfer rights between their own people and to engage directly with investors can be mutually beneficial and reduce some risks associated with land acquisitions.
Carl Bruch, Environmental Law Institute
The Environmental Law Institute (ELI) is working on a multi-year project examining how post-conflict peace-building can be catalyzed through natural resource management processes. As a joint exercise with other institutions, ELI has published Land and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding edited by Jon Unruh and Rhodri Williams and published by Earthscan. Peace building is difficult often because of conflicts over land and natural resources. In South Sudan, virtually none of the communities have come forward to validate their claims to community land after Khartoum enacted a law that invalidated 99 percent of the population's claims, reflecting a daunting task of integrating formal governance structures with local, informal customary systems.
Well functioning land management systems depend on good information systems. Cadastral systems thus need careful design to incorporate the vertical spectrum of rights—minerals and petroleum, grazing, trees, etc. into one system.
Closing Discussion:
Several key themes percolated during the discussion:
Land tenure professionals need to be more considerate of cross-sectoral land use issues, including climate change. USAID, for example, employs climate experts to address climate change implications on land use, and show concern on the level of informality prevalent with rural communities and other stakeholders.
The role of governance is crucial as a regulatory mechanism, but must also involve an interactive, multi-ministerial framework for effective policy-making and functioning regulation using a comprehensive cadastral database.
A significant challenge for land tenure practitioners is engaging communities, often small and marginalized, in the process of securing their land rights and other resource privileges with trust and confidence in the governance system. Some examples were cited where community awareness and trust in a (generally) centralized government agency is poor. These include South Sudan and southern Kenya, where communal rangeland in Kajiado County is being subdivided amid short-term gain and community uncertainty.
The land use and governance theme may gain from efforts to further formalize land issues and build capacity to tackle conservation challenges by engaging academic institutions. Whereas conservation and developments organizations indeed have field specialists and technical expertise, the academic sector offers opportunities to pool various resources including robust evidence-based socio-economic and ecological knowledge. The UK's Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge was cited as an example of its role in helping create several land use statutes in Africa. Other partnerships include USAID and The Nelson Institute's Land Tenure Center at the University of Madison-Wisconsin.
Much of the work done by ABCG is closely tied to the land, a fact that resonates with our development counterparts. Many of the stakeholders including rural communities approach land use broadly and systemically. Land use thus serves as an ever present reminder of the need to synergize strengths through partnerships, and break barriers of institutional silos and information stove piping that affect the mission of work towards biodiversity conservation and sustained livelihood development.
2011 ABCG Land Use & Governance Thematic Meeting
An ABCG meeting on this issue was hosted by The Nature Conservancy (Arlington, VA) and African Wildlife Foundation (Nairobi, Kenya) on 5 February 2011. The two locations were linked by video conference. Co-Moderators of the meeting were Helen Gichoi, PhD, President, African Wildlife Foundation (in Nairobi, Kenya) and Peter Veit, Institutions and Governance, World Resources Institute (in Washington, DC). The work presented in the meeting represents the first of several years' work by ABCG members African Wildlife Foundation, The Nature Conservancy and World Resources Institute (with the Jane Goodall Institute joining them in FY2011) on the intersections of governance, rights and land management for conservation.

ISU football set for first spring scrimmage
Thanks to a limited number of available offensive linemen — a group that will at least double in numbers in the fall with the addition of recruits and currently injured players — the Sycamores won't have a full-scale scrimmage, but will still intersperse scrimmage plays (with officials) among other practice drills.
"We're thin," coach Mike Sanford admitted after practice Thursday. "The scrimmage will be part of practice — probably 30 or 40 plays altogether. We only have five to seven healthy offensive linemen, so we can't go [in a scrimmage format] for long stretches of time."

No. 5: Stanford
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 30, 2011
Which star had the higher stock: Stanford's then-coach or its quarterback? Both were set to entertain offers once the final whistle blew on Stanford's one-sided Orange Bowl win — Andrew Luck from the N.F.L. and Jim Harbaugh from Michigan and the San Francisco 49ers, if not others. Only one answered the call, as Harbaugh took on the rebuilding job in San Francisco rather than join Luck for one more year of fun in the Pac-12. And so the questions arise about the program ability to rebound from losing one of the nation's best coaches. Those questions lie in the future — the very near future, unfortunately. And they're all addressed with one name: Luck.

Last year's prediction
The only thing keeping the Cardinal from being higher on this list is a questionable defense, one I believe will be improved yet must show progress on the field come September. The defense certainly is a concern, though the program has added several knowledgeable, experienced coaches to help the Cardinal turn around last season's struggles. Harbaugh has spent three years instilling a physical mentality in this team; that won't change, regardless of having Gerhart or not. Put that together with an expected improvement on defense — not an Alabama-type defense, but a competent group — and you have a Top 25 team. That makes sense, doesn't it? Stanford is a clear Pac-10 contender, in my opinion, a team far more likely to finish among the top three in the conference than the four fellow bowl team inhabiting the middle of this deep 10-team league.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Let's reflect back on Stanford's finest season in 70 years, since the Cardinal concluded a perfect 10-0 campaign with a win over Nebraska in the 1941 Rose Bowl. Twelve wins, eight coming in Pac-10 play. A single loss: Oregon, a team Stanford led at halftime before crumbling under an onslaught of points in the second half. Only two victories decided by less than 10 points; only one game, U.S.C., where Stanford ever seemed in real danger of defeat. The most points, 524, in program history. The nation's 14th-best offense altogether, and one of the most balanced at that. A vastly, vastly improved defense. The best team in program history? If nothing else, without question the finest team in 70 years. Can Stanford keep it going in 2011?
High point A number of options, befitting a 12-win team. I'll go with a 48-14 victory over rival California as the regular season high point, as it both defined Stanford's dominant level of play throughout the season while including the added bonus of a Big Game win. As a whole, however, it's hard not to point out the Cardinal's 40-12 win over Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl.
Low point The loss to Oregon. Disappointing? Without question. Of course, Stanford can take solace in the fact that Oregon finished the regular season undefeated, lending credence to the train of thought that lists the Cardinal as the finest one-loss team in the land prior to bowl play. A small victory, but one to remember.
Tidbit Eight B.C.S. conference teams lost at least 10 games in a single season from 2005-8: Duke (2005-7), Illinois (2006), Stanford (2006), Syracuse (2007), Minnesota (2007), Iowa State (2008), Washington State (2008) and Washington (2008). Stanford remains the only one of the group to make back-to-back bowl berths. Stanford and Syracuse are the only two of the pair to win at least eight games, though the Cardinal remain the only team to win more than eight. Sadly, Duke and Washington State are the only programs among the 10-loss faction to have not reached bowl play in one of the last two seasons.
Tidbit (Heisman edition) So we know that Stanford is the only program to put forth a Heisman finalist in each of the last two years. The Cardinal land bonus points for having two separate individuals earn the trip to Manhattan. How far back in the Heisman's history do you have to go to find one school sending two separate players to the trophy ceremony? There's a three-year gap for Texas, which sent Vince Young in 2005 and Colt McCoy in 2008 and 2009. U.S.C. had two players, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, both go in 2005. Florida's Tim Tebow repeated from 2008-9 — as did McCoy — and Arkansas' Darren McFadden went to Manhattan in 2006 and 2007.
Tidbit (alumni edition) David Shaw is the fifth Stanford alum to serve as the university's head coach. Each debuted well: Charles Fickert went 3-2-2 in 1901, his only season; Carl Clemens went 6-1 in 1902, likewise his lone season; Chuck Taylor went 9-2 in 1951, earning a trip to the Rose Bowl; and Paul Wiggin went 6-5 in 1980. While Taylor did a fine job over the next six years, eventually finishing with a 40-29-2 mark, things went downhill quickly for Wiggin: 4-7 in 1981, 5-6 in 1982, 1-10 in 1983, gone.

David Shaw (Stanford '95), entering his first season. Stanford tabbed Shaw as Harbaugh's replacement in an effort to retain continuity, which was an extremely wise move. Shaw was his predecessor's chief offensive lieutenant, having served as Harbaugh's offensive coordinator since his arrival in 2007. Over his first two seasons, 2007-8, Shaw coached the running backs in addition to leading the offense; over the last two years, Shaw coached Stanford's wide receivers. Regardless of where he's lent a hand, Shaw did a fabulous job helping the Cardinal go from also-ran to one of the best teams in the country. And for Shaw, doing so has the added pleasure of helping both his alma mater and a place held dear for his entire family: his father, Willie, served two stints as a Stanford assistant — from 1974-76 and 1989-91. Prior to returning to Palo Alto in 2007, Shaw spent nearly a decade in the N.F.L.: Philadelphia in 1997; coaching the quarterbacks in Oakland from 1998-2001, when he first worked alongside Harbaugh; and 2002-5 with the Ravens, again with the quarterbacks. In 2006, Shaw took a somewhat surprising position as Harbaugh's wide receivers coach at San Diego, which went on to win the Division-II national title. A move that seemed like a step back was eventually the best move of Shaw's career: he followed Harbaugh to Stanford the next fall and took over at his dream job four years later. If Harbaugh's name keeps popping up, it's both because of his work with the Cardinal and his importance to Shaw's career: Shaw wouldn't be here today if not for his former boss. He'll follow the lessons he's learned along the way as he takes on a top team with weighty expectations.
Tidbit (coaching edition) The key members of Shaw's staff are holdovers: former wide receivers coach Pep Hamilton will be offensive coordinator, and former secondary coach Derek Mason will be the co-defensive coordinator. He'll share those duties, ironically enough, with a former San Francisco 49ers assistant, Jason Tarver, the 49ers' former outside linebackers coach. The staff members still around from last fall include linebackers coach Lance Anderson, defensive line coach Randy Hart and special teams coordinator Brian Polian. The new guys, not including Tarver: running backs coach Mike Sanford, tight ends and offensive tackles coach Ron Crook and offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren.
Players to watch
Where do I discuss Owen Marecic, here or on defense? If we count Stanford's departed fullback — and linebacker — as an offensive departure, he's the lone loss along a backfield that has ranked among the nation's best over the last two years. Only Oregon has done it better in the Pac-12 since 2009, and no team in the conference has dictated the tempo so forcefully on the ground. Marecic was the battering ram for the running backs, opening up hole after hole as the lead blocker and, when given the call, showing a nose for the end zone. He's the lone missing piece in the running game.
And he'll be a handful for the Cardinal to replace — on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Stanford will audition sophomores Ryan Hewitt and Geoff Meinken as his potential replacements. Hewitt holds the edge as Stanford prepares for September, with his receiving ability (two catches in 2010) one aspect of Hewitt's game that Stanford could tap into this fall. But Hewitt, if he starts, will have the primary task of opening up lanes for junior back Stepfan Taylor (1,137 yards and 15 touchdowns), a reigning all-conference pick and an all-American candidate heading into 2011. Taylor is solidly consistent: at least 59 yards rushing in each game against F.B.S. competition minus one; at least one score in eight games, including four against Arizona; and at least 104 yards in seven games, with a season-high of 142 yards against Washington State.
Taylor's the leader. And it's unfortunate, in a way, that he shares the backfield with the nation's best quarterback: yeah, Taylor's yards come because Luck is under center, but Taylor will again be overshadowed all season. His backup will again be sophomore Anthony Wilkerson, who rushed for 408 yards a year ago. There's more: junior Tyler Gaffney (255 yards, 4 scores) and senior Jeremy Stewart (137 yards, 2 scores) round out a top-notch quarter of running backs.
The Cardinal need to find a pair of starting targets at receiver. This is a position that took a slight hit to graduation, losing leading receiver Doug Baldwin and second-leading receiver Ryan Whalen. What the Cardinal do have is a strong tight end in senior Coby Fleener (28 receptions for 434 yards and 7 touchdowns), not to mention a very promising backup at the position in sophomore Zach Ertz (16 for 190 and 5 scores). Stanford loves, loves to use the tight ends, as most pro-style offenses do. But there are some holes at receiver, though any concern could be assuaged should senior Chris Owusu (25 receptions for 396 yards) prove himself capable of remaining healthy.
Owusu is guaranteed a starting spot if healthy, with senior Griff Whalen (17 for 249), a former walk-on, his likely running mate in the starting lineup. One note on Whalen: he's Andrew Luck's roommate, but don't tell Brent Musberger. The receiver corps as a whole is quite experienced. The two-deep heading into September features Whalen and Owusu as starters and juniors Drew Terrell and Jamal Rashad-Patterson, sophomore Jemari Roberts and senior Corey Gatewood as reserves.
And then there's Luck. The most telling thing you can say about the junior: he gives fans of bad N.F.L. teams a reason to root for their teams to be worse. Like 1-15 bad, because — silver lining — your front office can make the no-brainer decision to draft the best quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning. There's no need to go into anything further, as you're going to see a dozen Luck-centric post in this space from now until January, not to mention thousands upon thousands elsewhere. The love affair is in full bloom, and here's the reason: even casual fans can admire his once-in-a-generation ability. Just love the player, appreciate what he brings to the table and sit back and enjoy his 13 or 14 remaining 60-minute clinics on the college ranks. Luck is even better than you've heard he is. He's everything you want in a quarterback. And more.
Last fall's move to the 3-4 was an unqualified success; so much for those concerns. Unfortunately, the architect of last year's vast improvement, Vic Fangio, followed Harbaugh to San Francisco. So it's on Mason and Tarver to keep things flowing along nicely, replacing at least one key figure at each level of the defense and taking advantage of the talent that returns along each same level. Two starters must be replaced along the line, two more at linebacker and a fifth in the secondary — fairly substantial losses, but the Cardinal have a nice corps of returning starters.
The lone returning starter on the three-man line is senior end Matt Masifilo (33 tackles, 4 sacks), an honorable mention all-conference pick in 2010. Masifilo's a good one, perhaps a very good one, whose numbers as a 3-4 end belie his importance to the entire defense. His production and leadership will be in high demand as Stanford attempts to replace a terrific nose guard in Sione Fua. Junior Terrence Stephens is the likely answer as his replacement, but Stephens brings dangerously little experience into 2011. Until he shows himself capable of shouldering the load — and he's light, at 287 pounds — Stephens will share snaps with redshirt freshman David Parry, who's a shade bigger.
There's similar youth at the end opposite Masifilo, as sophomore Ben Gardner brings little game time to the table and his backup, redshirt freshman Henry Anderson, brings none, obviously. I trust in Stanford's rejuvenated recruiting efforts, as the hard work on the trail has brought in some impressive talent, but two-thirds of this line needs to prove itself.
Two starters are back at linebacker, and they're both of all-conference caliber. One is inside linebacker Shayne Skov (84 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 7.5 sacks); the other is outside linebacker Chase Thomas (70 tackles, 11.5 for loss, 7.5 sacks). Eerily similar production, right? Call them Palo Alto's version of Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside: two productive linebacker who just get things done, albeit in slightly different ways. The Cardinal would — should — have had three returning starters at linebacker had Thomas Keiser opted to return for his senior season, but he's off to the next level. So two holes exist. And Stanford has linebackers coming out of the woodwork in the fight to join the pair of all-conference incumbents.
One is fifth-year senior Max Bergen at the second inside spot. You can't place a value on his experience, but this is a productive-driven position: if Bergen doesn't produce, he'll quickly find himself leapfrogged on the depth chart — he's currently the starter — by redshirt freshman A.J. Tarpley, if not a second rookie, James Vaughters. If not a third redshirt freshman Joe Hemschoot, or a sophomore, Jarek Lancaster. The Cardinal have options. The fight at outside linebacker is only slightly less competitive. Stanford only has two options here, at least for now: sophomore Trent Murphy and Alex Debniak. The latter has played quite a bit over the last two years, so that should give him the edge in September. From then on out, all bets are off.
The secondary could be very, very good even given the loss of cornerback Richard Sherman. Finding his replacement is the lone quest for a secondary that needs little tweaking: great last year in a conference full of talented quarterbacks, the Cardinal could be even stronger against the pass should a defensive back step up. There's little question as to who will start at cornerback: that'll be senior Johnson Bademosi (40 tackles, 1 interception) and sophomore Barry Browning (15 tackles, 1 interception). The duo combined to start 12 games a year ago, with Browning starting three as a true freshman. There's good talent here; all that's missing is experience, especially with Browning.
The safeties are terrific. Both are seniors; both are multiple-year starters; both are productive; both are versatile; and both were all-conference picks a year ago. Strong safety Delano Howell (60 tackles) led Stanford with five interceptions a year ago, and strong safeties who can defend the pass as well as they play the run are rare indeed. Free safety Michael Thomas (61 tackles, 6 for loss) has taken well to safety after beginning his career at cornerback. You won't find a better safety tandem in the Pac-12. It's a nice way to back end a defense.
Position battle(s) to watch
Offensive line Three starters must be replaced, so it's a good thing that the two remaining starters were all-conference selections. It's even better when one of the two, junior Jonathan Martin, occupies left tackle. He's a very good one, as is junior right guard David DeCastro, the two linchpins of a new-look offensive front. There are holes to fill elsewhere, particularly at center: junior Sam Schwartztein holds the lead in the race to replace Chase Beeler, but sophomore Khalil Wilkes remains in the conversation. The situation may be equally unsettled at left guard and right tackle. In January, one probably would have posited that the starters at those spots would be sophomore Kevin Danser and fifth-year senior Tyler Mabry, respectively. And hey, here we go: it's nearly September, and Danser and Mabry could very well be the starters. But it's not decided, as redshirt freshman David Yankey could earn the nod at left guard and redshirt freshman Cameron Fleming at right tackle. That would be a bit surprising, especially at right tackle. Mabry was a reserve for the last three years and, in terms of time with the program, is the Cardinal's most experienced linemen. So it's somewhat surprising to see Fleming running strong at what most projected to be Mabry's spot to lose. There's still some time until Saturday, and the Cardinal could very well alternate four linemen through the early going before making a final decision. But it may be a youth movement at the three spots breaking in new starters. Despite that, I'm not worried. DeCastro can help Fleming learn the ropes, and Martin can do the same with Yankey. And Stanford has been absolutely tremendous along the offensive line for two years running. I'm not that concerned.
Game(s) to watch
Oregon stands as Stanford's game of the year, the Pac-12's game of the year and one of the games of the year, period, in the F.B.S. in 2011. It has it all: action, intrigue, the Rose Bowl, a national title, the Heisman. The date with Oregon is also the first three home games with big-time meaning to end the year: the Ducks, the rival Golden Bears and Notre Dame. It's not a stretch to say the season finale has B.C.S. intrigue of its own.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Is the Andrew Luck love affair overshadowing the retooling Stanford needs to do at several positions heading into 2011? That's a rhetorical question, as we all know the answer. But Luck is that good, and I don't even need to tell you that. He's good enough to lift this team on his back — like a Tebow at Florida, McCoy at Texas, Vick at Virginia Tech, Crouch at Nebraska — and carry it all the way to the national title game, which is a scenario very much in play should the Cardinal take out Oregon in early November. That's receiving early points for the national game of the year for a reason: two teams with all that intrigue listed above, with the largest difference being that Stanford shouldn't really lose — shouldn't, but could — to any team before or after that game; Oregon could very well lose to L.S.U. on Saturday, though the Tigers' continuing issues under center are reason to favor Oregon. What does Stanford need to do in order to beat the Ducks, let alone top all comers en route to the Pac-12 title game? At least two receivers need to step up to replace the departed targets. The offensive line must also rebuild on the fly, as must the defensive front. The secondary needs to play up to expectations. And in this intangible way, Stanford needs to retain the sort of confidence that propelled it forwards throughout last season. You can't judge the latter, but it's the most important thing the Cardinal can take from Harbaugh to Shaw. As for 2012: I can't say today that I believe in the future of this program in quite the same way I did 12 months ago. But Shaw will have a wonderful opportunity to show his worth on the field, off the field and on the recruiting trail. Let's talk about 2012 in 2012. For now, the Cardinal are built for another run towards B.C.S. success.
Dream season Stanford trounces all comers save Oregon and Notre Dame, which the Cardinal top by only 10 and 14 points, respectively. A berth in the inaugural Pac-12 title game awaits, after which point Stanford heads into the B.C.S. National Championship Game at 13-0.
Nightmare season The team misses the leadership provided by its former coach. His touch would have come in handy during a 9-3 regular season.

|Sticky Tag:
Preparing for release.
Merging symlink-branch to main trunk.
Setting date for 0.21.
Retargetting CVS with new system call bindings that are not GNU/Linux specific.
Undoing change to mcvs grab file comparison. It was found to produce some really bad results, like correlating files that have nothing to do with each other. A higher threshold wouldn't help.
* code/grab.lisp (correlate-word-hashes): The rule for computing the correlation changes. The size of the smaller of the two sets is used as the denominator, rather than the size of the union. This produces far better results for files that have grown or shrunk a lot; files are not penalized for growing. More changes to syntax of grab command. Now -A must be specified to do a grab onto main trunk. * code/mcvs-main.lisp (*grab-options*): -A option added. * code/grab.lisp (mcvs-grab): Test for presence of -A option. Check that either -A or -r is present, but not both.
Syntax of grab command changed. The branch is no longer specified as an argument after the module name. Rather, it is specified using the -r option. * code/mcvs-main.lisp (*grab-options*): -r added to list. * code/grab.lisp (mcvs-grab, mcvs-grab-wrapper): Argument syntax change, support -r option.
Bumping up date.
* code/generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Support new keyword, :no-fix-empty-file-list. Specifies that if no files are passed, and the --metaonly option is not present, the CVS command is to be executed without any file arguments. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Specify :no-fix-empty-file-list t when calling mcvs-generic. Thus commit now has the behavior that when it is passed no file arguments, it does a true global commit.
Oops, forgot to set date! Too late, released already.
* code/restore.lisp (mcvs-restore): Work properly with partial sandboxes; that is, move things to lost+found directory at the top of the partial sandbox, rather than the abstract root.
* code/grab.lisp (mcvs-grab): If there are only added files or only removed files, don't bother scanning any files, since there are no moves to compute.
*** empty log message ***
* move.lisp (move-guts): When moving multiple sources to a target directory, provide a restart to skip a bad source.
Release 0.18.
Clarify that non-existent subdirectories can be specified on checkout.
Merging from partial-sandbox-branch.
* grab.lisp (mcvs-grab): Bugfix: determination of common words was failing on small file sets because the min function was used instead of the max to compute the threshold.
Release 0.17.
* purge.lisp (mcvs-purge): Factor out code for computing deleted files. * mapping.lisp (mapping-removed-files): New function, contains code factored from mcvs-purge. * restore.lisp: New file. (mcvs-restore, mcvs-restore-wrapper): New functions.
* checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Don't delete the MCVS directory of an existing checkout.
Adding purge command. * mcvs-main.lisp (*purge-options*): New constant. (*mcvs-command-table*): New entry. (*usage*): Update. * purge.lisp: New file. (mcvs-purge, mcvs-purge-wrapper): New functions.
*** empty log message ***
* create.lisp (mcvs-create): Take out vendor branch parameter, use "Created-by-Meta-CVS" as the vendor tag. (mcvs-create-wrapper): Take out vendor branch parameter.
Release 0.16.
* options.lisp (*nometa-option*): Eliminated rid useless docstring. (*meta-option*): New variable. (*nometa-option*): New variable. (filter-global-options): Clean rewrite using find-bind. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): New keyword parameters default-include-meta-files, need-update-after. Implements new logic related to the new options. Performs (mapping-update) if need-update-after is true and metafiles were subject to cvs update. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Calls mcvs-generic with :default-include-meta-files t. * update.lisp (mcvs-update): No longer overrides the *nometa-option* special variable. Passes :need-update-after t to mcvs-generic. * mcvs-main.lisp (*cvs-options*): New options entered into list.
* grab.lisp (read-word-hash): Use #'equalp test for case-insensitive string comparisons. (added-removed): Use string< instead of string-lessp for comparing paths. (determine-common-words, eliminate-common-words): New functions. (move-candidates): Acceptance threshold reduced to 50%, since elimination of common words reduces the similarity correlation. (mcvs-grab): Use string< instead of string-lessp when sorting paths. Do the common words computation. * mapping.lisp (mapping-dupe-check, mapping-write, mapping-difference): Use string< instead of string-lessp.
* grab.lisp (read-word-hash): Memory use optimizations: use smaller initial size for tokens; re-use the same token object when the hash already contains a duplicate. (correlate): Renamed to correlate-word-hashes. (correlate-paths): New function; computes a confidence-reducing factor based on the differences between two paths. (move-candidates): Use correlate-paths to lower the confidence for distant moves. This could help sort out ambiguities when projects contain very similar or duplicate files which are subject to parallel moves. * seqfuncs.lisp (lcs-list, lcs-vector, longest-common-subsequence): New functions.
Preparing for release 0.15.
New feature: grab command. Takes snapshot of code and imports it to a branch, trying to determine which of the added and removed files are actually moves. * grab.lisp: New file. (read-word-hash, word-hash-file, correlate, added-removed, move-candidates, mcvs-grab, mcvs-grab-wrapper): New functions. * mcvs-main.lisp (*grab-options*): New constant. (*mcvs-command-table*): New entry. (*usage*): New text. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Write out MAP-LOCAL even if :no-generate t is specified.
* checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): New key parameter, no-generate. Tells the checkout function not to unpack the MCVS directory. This will be useful when mcvs-checkout is used as a subfunction of the new grab command. Failed CVS call is now turned into an error. The MCVS subdirectory is *always* deleted, even if the checkout did not create the checkout directory.
* dirwalk.lisp (dirwalk-fi): Bugfix: top call was not passing down keyword parameters to recursive call.
The ``import'' command is renamed to ``create''. * mcvs.main (*create-options*): Renamed to *import-options*. (*mcvs-command-table*): Updated. (*usage*): Updated. * import.lisp: File renamed to create.lisp. (mcvs-import): Renamed to mcvs-create; some arguments renamed. (mcvs-import-wrapper): Renamed to mcvs-create-wrapper. * README: Updated.
* split.lisp (split-fields): Optimized to build tokens using vector-push-extend rather than format.
Release 0.14.
* types.lisp (types-make-cvs-adds): Serious bugfix. Forgot to strip MCVS/ prefix from those F- files which don't match any type entries. This caused cvs add to fail for unsuffixed files.
Releasing 0.13.
Adding mcvs remap command. * dirwalk.lisp (dirwalk-fi, dirwalk, for-each-file-info): Default behavior is now preorder (visit directory before its entries). A keyword is provided to select the old postorder behavior. A catch is provided in dirwalk-fi that allows the caller to skip processing the currently traversed directory. The for-each-* macros provide a local function called (skip) to do this. (delete-recursive): This function depends on postorder behavior in for-each-file-info, so it explicitly selects it now. * mcvs.lisp (*remap-options*): New constant. (*mcvs-command-table*): Add entry for new function. (*usage*): Describes new function. * remap.lisp: New file. (mcvs-remap, mcvs-remap-wrapper): New functions.
Add some missing notes.
* sync.lisp (synchronize-files): Signal an error when the two files to be synchronized have the same time stamp. Provide two restarts for doing the synchronization either way.
*** empty log message ***
Preparing for release 0.12.
* checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Allow -d to specify current directory as the checkout directory. Do not complain if the target directory exists, just try to use it anyway. Use the mapping-update function to update the sandbox. These changes allow a Meta-CVS sandbox to blend with an existing directory structure, a useful feature.
* remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): Corrected careless bracketing introduced on 2002-03-15 (1.16) that rendered this function ineffective.
Prepare for 0.11 release.
Absolute paths resolved against sandbox root. * posix.lisp (path-absolute-p): New function. Predicate to test whether a path is absolute. * mapping.lisp (in-sandbox-root-dir): sandbox-translate-paths function detects absolute path, and treats it as relative to sandbox root.
*** empty log message ***
Branch listing command shows the current branch.
* branch.lisp (where-is-the-repository): New function. (cvs-make-or-advance-tag): Pass down CVSROOT to cvs rtag using the -d global option.
Preparing for release.
*** empty log message ***
Error checking added to mcvs move: verifies that all sources exist and are known to Meta-CVS. * move.lisp (source-check): New function. (simple-rename, simple-move-to-dir): Use new function.
* remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): More detailed error checking. Checks for remove attempts against MCVS/ area, removes of local files not versioned under Meta-CVS, and nonexistent files.
* add.lisp (mcvs-add): Error message changed to tell user to use -R to add directory. * remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): New generalized boolean parameter indicates to do a recursive remove. This is controlled by the -R option which already exists. Behavior changed to not act on directories unless recursion is explicitly requested. (mcvs-remove-wrapper): Extract "R" option, pass down new boolean to mcvs-remove.
* checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Bugfix: must use checkout-dir, not module, when testing whether directory exists or was created properly.
Update takes file arguments now. * update.lisp (mcvs-update): If filename arguments are given, then just call mcvs-generic to do the work, but suppress the operation on meta files. If no filename arguments are given, then update everything. If the -p option is present, no synchronization is needed, before or after. (mcvs-update-wrapper): Pass command arguments down to mcvs-update. * mcvs-main.lisp (*update-options*): Add "p" option. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): New keyword parameter need-sync-after, a generalized boolean which can tell the function to do a mapping-synchronize after executing the CVS command.
The filt command takes arguments to select alternate revision of map. * mcvs-main.lisp (*filt-options*): New constant. (*mcvs-command-table*): Updated with new options. (mcvs-debug-shell): Restart name changed during debugging of filt changes. * filt.lisp (filt-select-map): New function. Loads either the local mapping, or retrieves an alternate mapping from CVS based on command line options. (mcvs-filt): Use filt-select-map rather than mapping-read.
*** empty log message ***
Preparing for release.
* import.lisp (mcvs-import): Create a .cvsignore file for ignoring MAP-LOCAL.
Fix trailing slash bug in mcvs mv. * move.lisp (simple-move-to-dir): Canonicalize path after catenating destination and file base name. This nukes a double slash if we move to a name with a trailing slash. (move-guts): Treat a destination name that has a trailing slash as a directory, unless it exists already as a non-directory.
* mcvs-main.lisp (*cvs-options*): Added "error-terminate" and "error-continue". (*usage*): Update and reformat help text. (mcvs-execute): Process "error-terminate" and "error-continue" options.
* update.lisp (mcvs-update): Changing level of chatter messages. * move.lisp (mcvs-move): Likewise. * add.lisp (mcvs-add): Likewise. * remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): Likewise. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Likewise. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Likewise. * import.lisp (mcvs-import): Likewise. * mapping.lisp (mapping-dupe-check): Likewise. (mapping-update): Likewise.
*** empty log message ***
Sane filtering of -d option in checkout. * find-bind.lisp (find-bind): Variable bindings can specify a third element, which provides a default value for any variables that turn out NIL. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Filter out the -d dir option, and use it to override the name of the checkout directory, the way CVS checkout does it.
*** empty log message ***
*** empty log message ***
Reformatting for easier readability.
Commit is handled through mcvs-generic, so it can take filename arguments, and honor --nometa. * commit.lisp: File removed. (mcvs-commit): Function removed. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Moved to generic.lisp. * generic.lisp (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Moved from commit.lisp, changed to invoke mcvs-generic. (mcvs-generic): Only add TYPES file to list if it actually exists.
New --nometa command line option. * mcvs-main.lisp (*cvs-options*): Add "nometa" to list. (mcvs-execute): Filter global options to recognize Meta-CVS-specific ones. * options.lisp (*nometa-option*): New special variable. (filter-global-options): New function. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Honor *nometa-option* special variable.
* generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Make sure TYPES file is included in list of files.
Merging mcvs-0-6-branch.
Support for filetypes in import. * posix.lisp (suffix): Separator character parameter is optional; multiple occurences of character lead to one big suffix like ".tar.gz" instead of ".gz". A leading dot means it's not a suffix but a hidden file like ".exrc". (edit-file): New function, brings up text editor for specified file. * clisp-linux.lisp (env-lookup): New function for environment variable lookup. * types.lisp: New source file. (*mcvs-types-name*, *mcvs-types*): New constants for TYPES filename. (types-read, types-write, types-sanity-check, types-to-import-wrapper-args): New functions. * import.lisp (*types-comments*): New constant. (mcvs-import): Restructured to build up list of file suffixes, allow the user to edit the file which determines how they are treated, filter out ignored files and pass -W options to cvs import to handle the rest. Failed cvs import is turned into restartable condition. * mapping.lisp (mapping-generate-name): Takes a suffix parameter. The F-files now carry a suffix obtained from the original file, because I have concluded that this was the only reasonable way to integrate with CVS.
* add.lisp (mcvs-add): Last change completely broke add due to not breaking out of the retry loop.
* move.lisp (mcvs-move): If the mapping-update operation returns nil, or terminates by a non-local jump, restore the filemap. * mapping.lisp (mapping-update): When returning normally, return t. When returning after doing a rollback, return nil.
* error.lisp (mcvs-error-handler): Bugfix. We were closing over a binding of the iteration variable of a dolist, which has only one binding over the entire loop. * mapping.lisp (mapping-update): Gathers up info all local clobbered files, and then throw the error. Provides restart which allows user to print the list of clobbered files, and a restart which allows the user to have those files clobbered. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout-wrapper): Bugfix for last bugfix.
Set date for 0.5 release.
*** empty log message ***
Added a much improved error handling routine in anticipation of better use of restarts. * error.lisp: New file (restart-destructure): New macro. (*mcvs-error-treatment*): Special variable, moved here from mcvs-main. (mcvs-error-handler): New function. * mcvs-main.lisp (mcvs-top-error-handler): Function removed. (mcvs-execute): Bind error to new mcvs-error-handler instad of mcvs-top-error-handler.
* convert.lisp: New file. Contains conversion utility to make an Meta-CVS repository from an ordinary CVS repository, while preserving all history, tags and branches. (remove-attic-component, classify-tags, read-tags, mcvs-convert): New functions. * posix.lisp (suffix): New function. Computes suffix of file. (execute-program-xargs): New optional parameter, for specifying fixed part added at the end of each generated command line. * mapping.lisp (*mcvs-map-name*, *mcvs-local-map-name*): New constants. (*mcvs-map*, *mcvs-map-local*): Redefined in terms of new constants. (mapping-generate-name): New key parameter no-dir for not adding the directory prefix.
* sync.lisp (synchronize-files): Return :dir symbol when either argument is a directory. * mapping.lisp (mapping-synchronize): Chatter output messages are shorter. Handles :dir return value from synchronize-files. (mapping-update): New sanity checks for moved and added files, to avoid clobbering local files. Removed redundant call to ensure-directories-exit in move logic, because synchronize-files will do it anyway. Chatter messages reordered to occur before their corresponding action is done. * mcvs-main.lisp (*mcvs-error-treatment*): Special variable can have new domain value, namely :decline. (mcvs-top-error-handler): Print error message when terminating non-restartable error. Handle new :decline treatment by simply returning. (mcvs-debug-shell): Set *mcvs-error-treatment* to :decline so that errors are caught by debugger.
Set date.
* mapping.lisp (mapping-sort): Removed function. (mapping-write): Sort written map by F- file names, not by path names. This is far better for merging, because files stay in the same place when they are renamed.
*** empty log message ***
*** empty log message ***

Mention bugfixes to move in 0.3. Paragraph reformatting.
