DBD 6.29.09 Wow, Maharg, really dodged a bullet there, didn't you?

PrintI mean just think about it. Michael Jackson, one of the most talented singers and entertainers of all time. From the youngest age, he is exploited like some sort of musical prostitute by his father, a truly terrible man. His child-hood is ruined in the pursuit of his skills and the rest of his life is like some sort of crazed nightmare, always surrounded, yet always alone.
And what about Britney Spears? So much ability. She, like Michael Jackson, pushed hard by her parents. Sold to the Disney Corporation at a young age, she never has a normal, regular childhood. By the time shes in her 20s, shes a complete mess, shaving her head and attacking cars with umbrellas. That'll show Detroit automakers!
So, for you, The Maharg, to have no skill, to completely totally lack ability, I mean that's the luckiest fucking thing ever. Praise Be To Bak Bak that you are like an empty blob of worthlessness. You can be just a regular, useless person with a normal enjoyable life. Not one of those talented people whose life is ruined from an early age.
You truly dodged a bullet there.
Speaking of Michael Jackson, I know that this topic(k) has been-a done to death in the past few days. But can I just say something here? Everybody mocks him for being so "weird." For creating Neverland. For having a monkey as a pet. And yea, some things are way out there, I get that.
But still, if you (yes, you!) had unlimited money and a series of people who would say "Let's Do It Right Now!" to every one of your most unreasonable fantasies and dreams, you'd have some incredibly weird shit out there, too. Don't try to deny it. Don't lie to yourself. If you could live our every one of your dreams, no matter how expensive or unreasonable, it'd be a hedonist splurge of crazy inanities just like Michael Jackson.
California All-American Alysia Johnson came in seventh place in the final of the 800 meters on Sunday at the USATF Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Among the other Golden Bears competing were - Katie Morgan (pole vault), Sebastian Sam (junior 800 meters), Ed Wright (high jump), Rhuben Williams (shot put) and Grace Upshaw (long jump).
Johnson clocked a time of 2:01.58 to earn her seventh-place finish. Hazel Clark won the event, clocking in at 2:00.79.
In the men's junior 800, Sam crossed the finish line in fifth place at 1:52.57.
Morgan, the 2008 NCAA pole vault champion, notched a mark of 13-9.25 (4.20m) to tie for 12th overall.
Upshaw, a Cal alum and two-time Olympian, came in fourth in the long jump with a mark of 22-2.50 (6.77m).
Williams tied for 11th in the shot put with his throw of 62-9.50 (19.14m).

Angie Pressey joins PanAm Cup Team:
MIAMI – Former California volleyball All-American outside hitter Angie Pressey will be one of 14 players representing the United States in the Eighth Women’s Pan American Cup, scheduled for June 26 to July 4 in Miami. The nine-day event will serve as an historic occasion for the U.S. Women’s National Volleyball Team, which has not been in action since winning the silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
Pressey is coming off an injury shortened regular season as a professional in which she helped Toa Baja to a playoff berth in the Puerto Rico Super League. In international competition, Pressey joined Team USA on its tour of China in 2008 prior to the Olympics, during which she tallied 20 points in limited action.
In recent history, the U.S. has not hosted many women’s international events on domestic soil because of a grueling international schedule. USA Volleyball has never hosted the Women’s Pan American Cup in the seven previous years of the event’s history and the upcoming tournament represents the largest international volleyball event hosted in the U.S. in terms of country participation.

They’re all good stories. We did a couple of shows together, she was a cool person and presumably still is.
It was a little awkward the first time I saw Secretary. It’s not like we were friends in highschool or anything, but still… it was a little weird. Glad I saw it though, it’s a really strong performance on her part, and the movie overall is good!

Yeah, she was definitely a quirky, free-spirit kind of person – but not in the over-caffeinated, 60’s kinda way. Seemed confident in the person she was, but not rudely so, comfortable in her own skin. But yeah, her role choices seem to fit in well with what I remember.
Jake was in the class below me (Maggie in the one above me), did a few shows with him too. I’m sure he’s grown up to be a very nice person, he seems so in the interviews I see with him.

It was awesome. Boss bought me drinks. Met some of his business partners.
Then we had conversations around partying and drinking and I had to keep my mouth shut and mention small things (yeah, sometimes go out – have a couple drinks) instead of the truth (I probably will not go back home this weekend until 5 PM on Sunday night, which was true. More on that…. never).
Suggested I don’t consider getting married before 35.
I also tried (probably unsuccessfully) to convince him to send me to Vegas or Miami for “business”.
I think it got me some brownie points, plus it was fun. Win win win!
JAI HO!
Yes really. Can’t just leave us hanging on your big corporate date.
When I graduated from law school my uncle said “don’t marry your girlfriend, because now that you have a good, high-paying job, scores of women will THROW themselves at you.” I think that was great advice in the 60’s, not so much in the 90’s/2000’s.

The Good Book

And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them" (II Kings 2:23,24).

Interesting question
What is the hardest thing you’ve ever done in your life (physical exertion-wise)
I got 4:
1. 3 weeks in Rajhistan in August in 2005. It was over 40 every day.
2. Great Wall Half Marathon
3. Up and back Half Dome in 15 hours on a 85 degree day
4. MS 150 Houston to Austin (although to be honest, it was a LOT of fun)
I ran a mile this one time. It was intense.

I did Half Dome a few weeks ago. Not sure if it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it’s up there. Up and down in only 11 hours, but I started at midnight, so it was considerably cooler. My feet are still recovering, however.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Word to that
Did Half-Dome the summer after graduating college. We left at about 3 am, reached the summit sometime between 9-10 am.
Note to other aspiring climbers: do not go on 12+ hour hikes wearing year-old New Balance 991s.
dude, we met a guy at the top of Half Dome who had apparently hiked up in skater shoes, only one of which actually had laces. i wouldn’t have believed it if i hadn’t seen it. he was very friendly, however; he even asked if we would like to smoke a bowl with him. i’m not sure that Yosemite’s natural beauty needed “enhancement,” but to each his own…
leaving at midnight turned out to be a great idea. not only did we summit right as dawn was breaking, we beat everyone else to the top by a good 2 hours. how often to get to be alone anywhere remotely popular in Yosemite for that long?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Skate shoes were my designated P.E. shoes this year.

Its always hard for me to find a positive in a 3-2 result when you shut out the other side 2-0 at the half. Nonetheless, you have to be excited about the play of a few of the US team, in particular the goalie, the defender whose name starts with an S (who also fed that nice pass to Dempsey for the first goal), Donovan, and Dempsey.
The other guys played ok, nothing spectacular. I still didn’t see the US team playing “as a team” overall.

The names you were looking for
Goal- Tim Howard (Everton)
D- Jonathan Spector (West Ham United)
I thought Onyewu was immense the entire tourney. Supposedly, he was about to sign for Fenerbache in Turkey but teams from Italy and Spain are calling which would be a big improvement.
Interesting to see if Davies gets any looks from a bigger league. The Swedish 1st division isn’t very good and he had a good showing.
Also interested to see if Villarreal play Altidore this year instead of loaning him out. His teammates on the Spanish National team (Cazorla and Capdevila) were telling the Spanish press that he is absolutely uncoverable in practice and the goal he poached by turning Capdevila on Wednesday was par for the course.

JO’s article on recent LB commit Nick Forbes.
Cal received an oral commitment over the weekend from linebacker Nick Forbes of Frederick, Md. That gives the Bears three linebackers in their 2010 recruiting class who each is ranked in the top 15 nationally at his position by scout.com.
Forbes is the No. 7-rated outside linebacker, Monte Vista’s David Wilkerson is the 10th-ranked middle linebacker, and Cecil Whiteside of Newport Beach is scout.com.’s No. 14 middle linebacker.
The Bears appear to be benefiting from their switch to the 3-4 defense, which showcases the talents of the linebackers.
“This class is looking really good defensively,” Forbes said. “The 3-4 is a pro-style defense. It’s very aggressive and very active. It makes it very appealing. There are a ton of packages you can throw into it. It’s exciting to think about.”
Forbes picked Cal over several other major programs, including Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wake Forest and Boston College. The Bears now have eight commitments for 2010.

I’m just not sure that a team playing on the opposite coast and laying an egg really helps a great deal. Do you think that Tennessee traveling and losing to UCLA helped their profile in the Southern California area? Maybe it did since I have no idea how recruits think, but I don’t think it would help my perception of the team.

We can agree to disagree. Tennessee plays on the west coast often. Cal doesn’t travel to the east coast often. Plus, Tennessee has historically gotten recruits from all over because its been in the national spotlight. You can’t really compare the two…and if you do you might see my point but I doubt it.
Its a marketing principle….sometimes you just need to increase awareness whether its good press or bad press, to have a starting point for people to perceive your brand. Then, you can work on improving the perception once the awareness has been built.

I just think when we’re talking about high school recruits, they probably tend to have short memories. Winning is probably a bigger factor than something as vague as awareness – I mean, I’m sure recruits on the West Coast are aware that Cal exists and has a brand. I don’t think watching a team live is going to swing a decision for me, unless they lay a major beatdown.

I’m really excited about Gabe King. His interview really sold me on what a quality guy he’s going to mature into, both on and off the field. Its hard to know for sure, but I get the impression he’s got what it takes to become a real leader on the field someday.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_Line
Before his appointment, Radcliffe had never visited India and knew no one there.
Radcliffe saw little point in being careful to skirt villages. His border was drawn right through thickly populated areas instead of between them. There were even instances where the dividing line passed through a single house with some rooms in one country and others in the other.
As it turned out, on “the sub-continent as a whole, some 14 million people left their homes and set out by every means possible — by air, train, and road, in cars and lorries, in buses and bullock carts, but most of all on foot — to seek refuge with their own kind.” Many of them were slaughtered by an opposing side, some starved or died of exhaustion, while others were afflicted with “cholera, dysentery and all those other diseases that afflict undernourished refugees everywhere”. Estimates of the number of people who died range between 200,000 (official British estimate at the time) and two million, with the consensus being around one million casualties.
Can’t blame them for the India/Pakistan divide though… good lord, I wish that had gone better.

I dunno, responsibility for the India/Pakistan divide falls on many guilty parties (Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah), as opposed to just the Brits.

So basically, Courtney Lee is better than J.J. Redick, and to make up the difference the Nets had to throw in Ryan.

July Is Going To Be A Slow Month
So, this DBD got me thinking about how slow the summer is for Cal sports, and got me wondering: what the heck did I blog about during previous summers? The answer: not much.
Last July, I authored a grand total of one post by myself: my Thoughts Regarding A College Football Playoff. I also co-authored a discussion on The A-11 Offense with HydroTech, and contributed to a couple roundtables: Do We Hate Maryland – Or What? and our Pre-Camp Expectations Roundtable. That there was the sum total of my contributions last July.
And the previous July? Hardly any better. 4 total posts to my name, and one (A Casual Meeting With Sandy Barbour) was a copy/paste job from someone else’s email. Beyond that? A discussion on the lack of connection between collegiate and professional baseball players, a short editorial on the time it takes to implement an agreed-upon contract extension, and a post asking readers their opinions on advertising on the old Blogsome site (a step we ultimately never got around to taking).
So yeah, not much to talk about. This July? I’ve got some ideas stewing in the back of my head, but not a lot. So, I ask you, dear readers, if I were to start working on some blog posts for this July, what should I write about? What would help pass the time over a long summer waiting for Fall camp to begin?

NBA's Most Attractive Destinations to PLay
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/steve_aschburner/06/29/free.agent.ranks/index.html
1. Los Angeles (Lakers): Oh, to be young, rich and a Laker. You’ve got championship potential (and a ring coming if you already were there this spring), a dominant superstar, the wisest of head coaches. And Hollywood in awe and that marvelous playground beyond Staples Center.
20. Golden State: What a marvelous place to live! What a predictable place to lose! The Warriors have had losing records in 14 of the past 15 seasons and way too much drama, relative to results, for a club that spends money and has had talent.
26. Sacramento: The crowds here, and the one-horse-town centricity seemed bulletproof for years. Now not so much. The Kings are on the short list of NBA franchises experts think might re-locate. The arena is outdated. That first glimpse from the airport — from terminal to open fields to Arco Arena to open fields — isn’t as stark as it used to be, but Chris Webber’s concerns about proper soul food and other cultural attractions weren’t completely unwarranted.
Steve Ashburner needs to check his facts. The Warriors had 2 consecutive winning season
prior to last season. I’m no math wizard but 2 winning seasons seems to make it impossible to have had losing seasons 14 out of the last 15. However, the Warriors do suck.

The New York Knicks offered the eighth overall pick and Wilson Chandler to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves declined and took Ricky Rubio with the pick.
Reports indicate that New York would have used the selection on Rubio, not Stephen Curry.
If only the Timberwolves had taken the offer and taken DeRozan eighth, their lineup would’ve looked like this:
PG — Ricky Rubio or Jonny Flynn
SG — DeMar DeRozan
SF — Wilson Chandler
PF — Kevin Love
C — Al Jefferson

Texas Longhorns linebacker Sergio Kindle ran his car into an Austin, Texas, apartment and left the scene of the accident last week, according to his attorney.
Kindle, a senior who was a first-team All-Big 12 pick last season, hit his head during the wreck and suffered a concussion when he drove off the street and into a West Campus residence early Wednesday morning, the Austin American-Statesman has reported.
WD/Icon SMITexas linebacker Sergio Kindle suffered a concussion in a wreck last week and left the scene because he “needed to go home and go to bed,” his lawyer said.
“He knew he was hurt at the time and that he needed to go home and go to bed,” Brian Roark, Kindle’s lawyer, told the newspaper.

OH SNAP
Myth: Keep someone awake who has had a recent concussion.
Fact: A person who has had a concussion may sleep through the night.
You do not need to keep awake a person with a recent concussion. This was recommended for years to observe a person for any changes after a concussion. People worried that the person may go into a coma and never wake up. This is no longer believed to be true. You can allow someone to sleep after a concussion. This should cut down on sleep deprivation for all involved.

No, that was probably not a concussion, I’m sure that was more of a Natasha Richardson thing:
On 16 March 2009, Richardson sustained a head injury, when she fell while taking a skiing lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec, about an hour and a half from Montreal. The injury was followed by a lucid interval, when Richardson seemed to be fine and was able to talk and act normally. Paramedics and an ambulance which initially responded to the accident were told they were not needed and left.
Refusing medical attention, she returned to her hotel room and about three hours later was taken to a local hospital after complaining of a headache. She was transferred from there by ambulance to the Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal in critical condition and was admitted about seven hours after the fall.
The following day she was flown to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where she died on 18 March. An autopsy conducted by the New York City Medical Examiners Office on 19 March revealed the cause of death was an “epidural hematoma due to blunt impact to the head”

Pretty cool article from Doc Saturday
on changing the football TV camera perspective.
CGB: Our points are reliable. Our logic is infallible. Our past records are illogical. And our ham is dynamite!
I would love to have a view like the Madden/NCAA games. I hate not being able to see what is happening with the receivers and defensive backs. It would also be much easier to watch what is going on with the linesmen. Even Hydro’s most recent post about Mack turning perpendicular to the LoS is greatly enhanced by that second camera angle.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
Yeah, the endzone cam is definitely superior, imo. It made seeing the breakdown in pass blocking a lot easier.
In last year’s Armed Forces Bowl review, I was able to break down more passing plays because the camera, although from midfield sidelines was MUCH higher than normal telecasts so I almost got a semi-bird’s eye view of the field (despite not being endzone cam). Also, the camera man zoomed out MUCh more during the plays to show the secondary which made things much more viewer-friendly.
Check out this old Armed Forces Bowl post to see the huge difference in camera angles during the Armed Forces Bowl, compared to the Emerald Bowl above.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Very interesting article. I can sympathize completely with his wishes. When I’m trying to put together my analyses posts, I am often limited to breaking down running plays because I can actually see what’s going on, whereas on passing plays I can’t see the coverage or the WRs. The only way I can see the WRs or coverage is if the replays show me a different angle or the camera zooms out in time so I can get a brief glimpse at the coverage prior to the pass.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
What I think would be interesting is for them to have both cameras and switch off, and then show the opposite view for the replay. Not because I’m analyzing the blocking or anything. It would just spicen up the activities.

by Spazzy Mcgee on Jun 29, 2009 3:01 PM PDT up reply actions
The one problem I can foresee with using endzone cams, is that the cameras might have to be even of a more superior quality so they can see further. Right now, when the cameras are on the sidelines, they are very close to the action. But if they were in the endzone, then there would be a huge loss in detail and quality without even more powerful cameras that could see across the field.
