PrintSO MUCH DOOM!
I've wanted JT gone for years, BUT - Today, 05:20 PM
he is being treated unfairly here. I'm one of the Negas, have been for sometime so do NOT confuse this with S Pumping. I have been on the phone with my sources quite a bit today (they are well connected and have yet to lead me astray) and TOSH is to blame for this, not JT. I'm not sure how much I can say, but I'll give what I can. Here is the story/timeline as I have heard:
Tosh was offered a job at Wash and he came to JT with the "my heart is here speech". JT went and fought for Tosh to get the offer matched. JT and Tosh have a meeting where JT tells Tosh how much he wants to keep him, how he is an integral part of what they are doing, etc. He says that he went and got the offer matched and that he wanted him to stay, but that he won't/can't get into a bidding war for Tosh and that he (JT) needs his (Tosh's) word that this is done and that he (Tosh) isn't going anywhere. Tosh assures JT this is over. Tosh breaks his word, continues talking to UW and gets another offer which he doesn't present to JT, as he has already been told and committed to no bidding war.
JT didn't find out Tosh was gone (by voicemail) until he got off the plane for a recruiting trip Tosh was supposed to meet JT on. They were supposed to meet yesterday to recruit and Tosh didn't show.
Combine that with the fact that Tosh is breaking the unwritten coaches code of only recruiting for one school and he is dead to me and I suspect Cal and JT as well. If you are recruiting and switch schools, you stop recruiting those guys... pass them off to another on staff.
Truly despicable. In my estimation, JT has committed a multitude of sins, but this fiasco isn't on him. No one looks rosy in this, but this is Tosh's doing.
Hopefully this gives a picture of what went down without burning my sources. I don't want to talk about numbers, but if there are any questions, I'll do my best.
That is sugercoated so here is moar DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM:
I'll just say this: It's worse than the original narrative.
I get being underappreciated and all the ramifications that come with it but when you clear out in the middle of the night with no warning and are immediately in contact with recruits that morning when your employers don't even know yet and start not only recruiting for your new program the guys you recruited for Cal but tell them, "DON'T GO TO CAL?"
That and other actions make this an irreparable rift, imo.
Also, furk SOPA:

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging
Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

re: SOPA. Can somebody tell me if section 103 relates specifically and solely as to “foreign internet sites.” Most of the bill seems to relate solely to “foreign internet sites” as defined in section 101. However, 103, whose “market based solutions” section seems the most potentially dangerous to me, does not seem to have the foreign website qualifier.
That is concerning to me, esp. when coupled with sec104 immunity. However, 103 is limited as follows:
(i) the U.S.-directed site is primarily designed or operated for the purpose of, has only limited purpose or use other than, or is marketed by its operator or another acting in concert with that operator for use in, offering goods or services in a manner that engages in, enables, or facilitates—
(I) a violation of section 501 of title 17, United States Code;
(II) a violation of section 1201 of title 17, United States Code; or
(III) the sale, distribution, or promotion of goods, services, or materials bearing a counterfeit mark, as that term is defined in section 34(d) of the Lanham Act or section 2320 of title 18, United States Code; or
(ii) the operator of the U.S.-directed site—
(I) is taking, or has taken, deliberate actions to avoid confirming a high probability of the use of the U.S.-directed site to carry out acts that constitute a violation of section 501 or 1201 of title 17, United States Code; or
(II) operates the U.S.-directed site with the object of promoting, or has promoted, its use to carry out acts that constitute a violation of section 501 or 1201 of title 17, United States Code, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement.
Sites like Facebook, reddit, Wikipedia, CGB, etc etc etc don’t seem to fall within that definition.
Am I misreading this in some way?

I have a copy of the Constitution on my iPhone. It has just been updated for the first time (I have had it for three years). I am afraid to look…
Not trolling...
But slightly channeling Twist here.
Can someone give me the bullet points on SOPA? As far as I can tell, it’s looking to protect copyrights that are so often currently infringed upon on the Web. Does it go farther than this? How does it do this in a harmful way? Or are the protestors just largely in favor of piracy?
I can write more tomorrow, but here are the quick hits. Here is the language (I rec most people read it themselves).
Sec101: Definitions
Sec102: US Attorney General can bring request Court issue order to shut down site (either directly to site or to domain host) of foreign infringers. This appears to relate solely to foreign websites directed at US traffic.
Sec103: “Market based solution.” Copyright owner can send a “shutdown notice” to a website or domain host if they find that the site is dedicated to infringing and they find an infringment. This does not seem to relate solely to foreign sites. No court action is required. You just send a notice and the people have 5 days to respond. There are more complications regarding ad networks, which confuses me.
Section 104: People get legal immunity for taking actions based upon Court Orders from AG or one of those shut down notice.
Section 105: People get legal immunity for taking actions that stop providing service for websites that harm US health (this appears to be related to Canadian websites selling cheap prescription drugs).
There is a lot mroe bla bla bla in all this, but these appear to be the real crux. It is pretty much section 102, 103, and 104 that are the most disconcerting to me.
But 102 seems to relate solely to foreign sites that are US directed. And 103 seems to relate solely to sites DEDICATED to infringing. So, I’m not sure why everybody is flipping their shit.
I think they are just beating the drum on this. And thats fine. Politics is based on fear. Make all the internet people afraid SOPA will take away the internet. I can’t find the specific language that underpins that claim, though.
If somebody can show it to me, that’d be great. I’m really loving this legislative analysis and look forward to further disucssion on it.
AM I THIS NERDY???

Also, its important to understand where we are in the legislative process.
PIPA, SOPA’s match in the Senate, passed the Senate committee. It has to now be passed by the Senate as a whole. Senator Wyden of Oregon has stated he will filibuster it. The way filibusters are set up, 1 senator can basically dominate everything. Here’s why. If you don’t have a quorum in the Senate, you can’t do shit. That means 50+ Senators. Now, you RARELY have 50+ senators there, because they are out doing things. And there is usually a tacit gentleman’s agreement that you don’t really NEED 50+ senators to get shit done.
However, if a quorum call is specifically requested and there are not 50+ senators, then everrything gets shut down. That never happens bc of the gentleman’s agreement. but if the senator is filibuster and calls for one and there aren;’t 50+ senators, filibustering dude wins.
So, are there 50+ senators who care THAT much about PIPA/SOPA to stop Wyden? I doubt it. So, if Wyden is serious about this, he ALONE can stop this thing.
On the House side, it’s still in committee. It hasn’t even passed committee, although it is anticipated that it will. They are in the mark up phase which is when they deal with amendments etc etc. The opposition flooded the mark up with amendments, but all have ben defeated. However, Lamar Smith, the sponsor, has made some changes. More changes are likely, esp. now that the White HOuse has come outa gainst it.
So, the committee has to pass it. Then, the House has to pass it. That may or may not happen. Eric Cantor, #2 in the House (and always gunning for #1), said that they won’t move on the matter if there is not consensus.
This is an inssue where Republicans AND Democrats are working together and against each other. It is not partisan. Democrast I respect are for it. Republicans I loathe are against it. Strange bed fellows etc etc etc. So, it has to pass the House.
THEN, PIPA has to pass the Senate (which we discussed previously). Then, they have the joint committee where the two bills have to be merged.
Then, the merged bill has to be re-passed the House and teh Senate. Wyden gets another shot to fili if he wants.
Then, Obama has to sign it into law and NOT veto it.
It is moderately surprising ANYTHING gets made into law givne how complex the system is.
But that is where we are now. It is basicalyl 1 step deep into the proces and there are still many many many many many many many many MANY MANY MANY steps remaining.
That is your civics lesson for the day, kids!

Lifehacker gives a small explanation
http://lifehacker.com/5860205/all-about-sopa-the-bill-thats-going-to-cripple-your-internet
SOPA targeted any site that contributed to copyright infringement, even if it was simply facilitating the act by providing a tool that could be used for illegal purposes (regardless of intention). PIPA, on the other hand, requires the targeted site to have no significant use beyond copyright infringement. Basically, PIPA can only be used to censor a site if it’s more likely to be a source of illegal content than not. This is still problematic because a tool designed to accept user-generated content is, to some extent, at the whims of its users.
Thanks everyone!
I’m struggling with Wikipedia’s response of essentially “You can’t ask us not to violate copyright because it would be too hard with the way our service works.” I mean, it’s hard for me not to speed because I drive a badass car, but the cop don’t care.
A friend of mine’s husband is a CS professor. I was speaking to him the other day and evidently he believes there should be no such thing as patent, software, or trademark, period. Just do away with it all.

Two parts:
1. Attorney General can ask court to shut down foreign website that has copyright violations.
2. ANybody that owns a copyright can send a notice to a hosting site to ask them to shut down a site if the site is focused on infringing and they find a infringment on their copyright there.

CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
Here are my objections.
- First, there’s the “First they came for the foreign websites, and I did not speak up because I was not a foreign website” aspect. Given the de facto position the US holds as caretakers of the internet, the idea that one country can unilaterally nuke web sites without so much as a court hearing is disconcerting to me. What’s even more disturbing is that the very corporations in the US can do this.
- I don’t think it can possibly be successful in ending piracy. I don’t even have faith that it could take a sizable bite out of the problem. The proprieters of The Pirate Bay, one of the largest and most successful pirating organizations, have detailed simple plans that seem like they’ll be quite effective in working around the issue. (That link is actually not readable today due to SOPA protests, but you can probably go there again tomorrow.) It’s very hard for me to support a bill when I believe that it will be largely impotent in reaching its primary goal.
- The US FedGov has been far too beholden to copyright owners already, and they’re now giving them unprecedented power in the ability to shut down websites at will. This is part of a much larger conversation, but copyrights were originally intended
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries
which has meandered over time from its original inception (14 years, with an option to renew for another 14) to its current, horrific realization (life of the author plus 70 years). This is the kind of creep that honestly makes me wonder whether I really want a playoff for college football. The point is that copyright holders have historically gotten everything they’ve ever wanted, and they continually press for more. To me, the amount of power they already wield is essentially unconstitutional. - I’m concerned about the precedent. I don’t know a way that I’m not making a slippery slope argument here, so feel free to dismiss this point as fallacious, but I don’t like the idea that a reactive congress that truly doesn’t understand the structure of the internet is so willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater, particularly given that the bathwater isn’t going anywhere. If this legislation fails to stop piracy, as I believe it will, I don’t know what’s coming next, and I don’t want to know.
I think I can agree that the internets are being a bit hyperbolic about what SOPA/PIPA are and do, but I do think there’s real potential for damage here. Maybe it’s largely academic, but if I can’t whine about academic things on a Cal blog, there where exactly can I whine about them?
Anyway, sorry for the TL;DR. Mostly, I came to congratulate you guys on your newfound hatred of washington. I support you guys so hard on this.

I can’t say that I completely grasp it, but as I understand it, the current law has plenty of recourse for copyright holders (I got the lecture on this form my brother who picked it up as part of his work in asset forfeiture). Handing enforcement off to private entities seems to open up a can of worms for the law being enforced for private interest – more so than usual, that is.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
I have not looked into SOPA in detail, but I did run into an article that I found informative. This article criticizes the poor legal language of the bill.
The article argues that “foreign” is not well-defined by the legislation. Is it based on the website URL? The IP address? The server location? If a US-based site has a US server and a UK server, which ones are domestic? At my first glance, the definitions used in the law seem to have some serious wiggle-room.
Thanks for the comment, ChemiCalE. Here is the link to the definitions:
(3) DOMESTIC DOMAIN NAME- The term `domestic domain name’ means a domain name that is registered or assigned by a domain name registrar, domain name registry, or other domain name registration authority, that is located within a judicial district of the United States.
(4) DOMESTIC INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS- The term `domestic Internet Protocol address’ means an Internet Protocol address for which the corresponding Internet Protocol allocation entity is located within a judicial district of the United States.
(5) DOMESTIC INTERNET SITE- The term `domestic Internet site’ means an Internet site for which the corresponding domain name or, if there is no domain name, the corresponding Internet Protocol address, is a domestic domain name or domestic Internet Protocol address.
(6) FOREIGN DOMAIN NAME- The term `foreign domain name’ means a domain name that is not a domestic domain name.
(7) FOREIGN INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS- The term `foreign Internet Protocol address’ means an Internet Protocol address that is not a domestic Internet protocol address.
(8) FOREIGN INTERNET SITE- The term `foreign Internet site’ means an Internet site that is not a domestic Internet site.

Wikipedia’s reasons for the blackout are:
Although the bills have changed, they are still a real threat to the free, open, and secure web. Among other serious problems in the current draft of the bills, the requirement exists for US-based sites to actively police links to purported infringing sites. These kinds of self-policing activities are non-sustainable for large, global projects – including possibly projects like Wikipedia. The legislative language is ambiguous and overly broad, even though it touches on protected speech. Our community is incredibly vigilant and proactive in keeping Wikipedia free of links or content that may infringe copyright.
Everywhere I look, people are enjoying knives.
Do they provide the specific language to support their claims?

CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
Iono. I’m not the law-talking guy! There’s a (slightly) more detailed list here and they cite this Electronic Frontier Foundation article.
Everywhere I look, people are enjoying knives.
I’m opposed to SOPA/PIPA because copyright holders already have many alternatives when it comes to copyrighted material on the internet. For example, they can flag a video on YouTube, or report the website to it’s Internet Provider. BUT they already SEVERELY abuse that flag, and do a terrible job of finding the actual copyright violations. Some of the stuff that is flagged as copyrighted isn’t at all.
Also, our current copyright laws are bullshit (70 years after the death of the author!), and I don’t want to see that expanded at all.
PSA
Mobile wikipedia is apparently not blacked out (as of Tuesday night). Just in case you need to look stuff up.

Shaadi to the rescue
The game, which was launched last week as a free application on Facebook, sees an angry bride attacking prospective grooms with household objects in response to their dowry demands.
The homepage of the game shows an eight-armed woman, what appears to be a reference to a Hindu goddess, wearing a red dress and holding weapons that include a pan. A caption below reads: "A woman will give you strength, care and all the love you need… NOT dowry!"
As the player proceeds through the various levels of the game, different options of weapons are available for the "angry bride" to target her three potential husbands: a doctor, an engineer and a pilot. Each hit gives the player a score, which adds up in the "anti-dowry fund."
Yes, because a woman launching objects at me is “funny”. ha. ha.

Nothing compared to this
Like its name implies, the watch uses the 12-5-9 method (12 hours, 5×10 minutes, 9 single minutes) to tell the time. Moving clockwise, the first two lines of the LEDs show the hours. The next line is the minutes up to 50, with each glowing LED showing 10 minutes. The final two lines are the single minutes, with one LED for each minute.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Seiko 5 Men’s SNK809 Automatic Black Strap Black Dial Watch (Watch)
I own 6 seiko watches (both automatics and quartz), and had a very good experience with all of them, until I purchased this one. I did not think much about puchasing the watch with a movement from Malaysia (big mistake!), because it is supossed to be built to Seiko quality standards.
Well, date mechanism does not work (both day of the week and day of the month), which is very annoying. Contacted the seller (Imperial Watches), and all I got as response was a recommendation to send it to Seiko for service. It is a logical solution, but 1) should have expected some more service (I had another issue with a watch in the past, and got far better service from another of Amazon’s sellers) and 2) I am not supossed to have this problem in the first place!!!!
If you are interested in this product, think twice about these Malaysia movements and Imperial Watches.
Hope this helps you make a good buying decision.

This review is from: Seiko 5 Men’s SNK809 Automatic Black Strap Black Dial Watch (Watch)
I purchased this watch from Amazon.com, LLC on August 20th. After about 4 months of use, it started gaining 5-7 MINUTES per hour when I wear it. If I don’t wear it for as little as a few hours, it stops completely. In contrast, my Citizen Eco-Drive continues to keep excellent time for over a week. While automatic watches should continue to operate for up to 48 hours, this one does not. Overall, not exactly a reliable timepiece.

It’s plenty big for your group of 15-20. It can probably accommodate about 75 total.
I think you will like. They are big into the hand-crafted cocktail thing and they have tasty bar snacks but it’s quite a casual darkly lit worn wooden floor kind of joint.
there are rooms for larger parties. and the patio can accomidate large groups as well.
but it’s not a party party place. it’s a sit down and chill place. and no tvs. but yes to drinks and cigars.

Which is why it’ll start at a sports bar that’s also popping at night (red door saloon?)
At that point, though, then just looking for bars that would be cool with that many people; maybe if the bar itself has special significance in SF history or if they have some great cocktails or something.

49ers Vs. Giants: A Prospector's Guide
[1]
The San Francisco 49ers get their second home game of the postseason on Sunday as they host the New York Giants in the 2012 NFC Championship Game. This marks the 13th conference title game appearance for the 49ers, which is third among NFL franchises since 1970. I knew the 49ers had been to numerous conference championships, but I didn’t realize it was quite that many.
After the jump I’ve posted some of the notable stats leading up to the game, wrapping it up with a comparison of regular season statistics. The Giants are dead last in rushing and I think it’s safe to say we’ll expect a lot of passing from Eli Manning. Of course, if the rain is pouring down on Sunday, it will be interesting to see if the Giants compensate in some manner.
On the defensive side of the ball, outside of the pass rush, the Giants are struggling. They are getting plenty of sacks, but they’re still giving up plenty of passing yards. When the 49ers and Giants last met, while Alex Smith did not hoist up a huge passing total, the team showed a willingness to put the game-plan in Alex Smith’s hands. It wasn’t a shootout, but Alex came out passing from the get-go after the Giants basically dared him to pass on them.
Given that previous performance and Alex’s performance against New Orleans, it will be interesting to see what kind of game plan the Giants defense comes out with against Alex Smith and company.

CGB, help plan Rishi's birthday! <3
So Saturday night, was planning a bar crawl. Since Sunday is the NFC Championship game and because of my lifelong love of the Niners, figured we’d make it a Niners themed bar crawl.
Last year, the theme was “Suit Up!” and we bar crawled to a few bars known for their cocktails (went to Bourbon and Branch; Absinthe; Comstock Saloon).
So help me pick a few bars! Figured we’d start at a sports bar, migrate to two more bars, then end up at a place like Kells that has drinking and dancing and stuff. Friends suggested starting at Red Jack Saloon. Never been, no idea how big it is.
The bars in between can be cocktail bars in the spirit of Absinthe and Bourbon and Branch; just as long as it can accomodate our crew (probably 15 to 20 people)?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

BERKELEY – The Golden Bears (15-4, 5-1 Pac-12) hit the road for the Pacific Northwest to face Washington and Washington State with first place in the Pac-12 on the line. Cal has dominated its home court, but has won just once in a true road game, this season; a 77-60 victory at Oregon on Jan. 8. At 5-1, the Bears are off to their best conference start since 2002-03 when that squad started league play with a 7-0 record. Cal can match its longest winning streak of the season and snap a three-game winning streak by the Huskies with a victory on Thursday.
The Bears are coming off an impressive 81-45 victory over Utah that saw several players achieve career marks. Sophomore G Justin Cobbs recorded his first-career double-double with 14 points and a career-high 11 assists while sophomore G Emerson Murray came off the bench to score 10 points and five rebounds. Senior F Harper Kamp has been a major contributor in the Bears’ last two victories. He puts up 9.4 ppg and 5.1 rpg, this season, while senior G Jorge Gutierrez continues to add 14.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg.

QB Zach Kline (Danville, CA/San Ramon Valley HS) and OL Christian Okafor (Houston, TX/Westbury HS) graduated from their respective high schools in December and are slated to participate in the Golden Bears’ practices this spring.
Kline is rated the nation’s No. 3 quarterback by Rivals and was a high school All-American in 2011, participating in the Under Armour All-America Game and also being listed by SuperPrep as an All-American. In addition to his ranking by Rivals, Kline is listed among the nation’s top quarterbacks by Scout (No. 4), ESPN (No. 4) and MaxPreps (No. 6 pro style). He ranks as high as the No. 44 player overall nationally according to Rivals. Kline was named the Gatorade California Football Player of the Year, the Bay Area News Group’s East Bay Offensive Player of the Year and a first-team member of the San Francisco Chronicle’s All-Metro squad as a senior when he completed 230-of-341 passes for a school-record 67.4 completion percentage, a school-record-tying 36 touchdowns and 3,630 passing yards to rank fourth in the state of California and No. 18 nationally. He is a four-star recruit of ESPN, MaxPreps, Scout, Rivals and 247Sports.
Okafor is a four-star recruit according to ESPN and MaxPreps. ESPN ranks him No. 30 nationally among offensive tackles, while Scout has him at No. 34.

That's an insult to Don Draper
In Draper’s case (or more accurately, Sterling Cooper’s case), their professional lives were at stake.
In Season 2, Sterling Cooper was bought by Putnam, Powell, and Lowe (PPL). At the end of Season 3, Connie Hilton told Don Draper that McCann-Erickson was buying PPL. Because McCann-Erickson was a Sterling Cooper competitor and everyone at Sterling Cooper is under contract with a non-compete clause, it seemed likely that McKann-Erickson was buying PPL to kill off Sterling Cooper.
Ultimately, Lane Price fires everyone at Sterling Cooper before the sale can be finalized, and the Sterling Cooper staff raids their client list. The big contract at the new firm (Sterling Cooper Draper Price) is Lucky Strike, representing more than 70% of billings.
It was survival that prompted Draper, et al to raid their client list.
Lupoi wasn’t in a position where he was being forced to act to save his career.

Heard Charles Collins name mentioned as a possible new WR coach at #Cal
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
hmmm, would be an interesting hire. The Googles says LA roots, no major college experience but personal trainer to several WRs in the NFL like Ochocinco and Steve Smith.
Inspiring and completing since1997 since2010!
by Fire Starkey on Jan 18, 2012 9:05 AM PST up reply actions
Does this mean he will teach our receivers how to do Ochocinco celebrations?
Coach Charlie Collins continues to be one of the nation’s top wide receiver gurus. He built his reputation working with top wideouts Chad Ochocinco and Steve Smith, both All Pro receivers, while they were in junior college. He also worked with Ochocinco, who still considers Collins his mentor, and Chris Henry during his time contributing to the Cincinnati Bengals receiver corps and still personally trains T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the offseason.
Many of the NFL’s top receivers continue to seek out Coach Collins in the offseason to work with him in Southern California. Collins has also trained several top youth All-Americans from the LA area. He stresses fundamentals and the nuances of playing WR at the highest levels. He understands the necessary techniques to improve hand-eye coordination, footwork, release and separation, as well as how to teach a receiver to sink his hips coming in and out of breaks.
Collins spent last season coaching receivers for the UFL’s Sacramento Mountain Lions after spending the prior season with the UFL’s California Riverwoods. He is a former wide receiver with the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos and was an All-American at Cal State Northridge.
Entering his third season with FBU, we welcome back "Coach C" as a staple in our wide-receiving coaching corps. He is quickly building a strong following at FBU camps.
Notable NFL Players Coached or Trained:
All-Pro Chad Ochocinco, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
All-Pro Steve Smith, WR, Carolina Panthers
Chris Henry, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Pro Bowler T.J. Houshmanzadeh, WR, Baltimore Ravens

I'll tell you why
It’s because SF weather is notoriously unpredictable.
In NY, you know it’ll snow in winter, so you cover it up. You know summer nights are warm and clear, so it’s open.
In SF, it could be a warm night, then be bitter cold and rainy the very next day.
The closest we have to a rooftop bar is Medjool. Not even a great place, but I go there for the rooftop bar part.
I still think it can be done, especially with hotels.

better yet, it should be a pop-up bar, that only opens when the weather is nice. No matter what the season!

But in this day and age, retractable roof shouldn’t be that big a deal.

Sorry guys — can’t give a flying fuck about Tosh today. Found out late last night that a very good friend (bridesmaid at our wedding) went in to the hospital and that the baby she has been carrying for 37 weeks has no heartbeat. They induced her last night and wouldn’t perform a c-section. We’re going to Alta Bates in a few hours. If anyone has advice on how to help the couple through this, I’m all ears, because at this point I’m at a total loss for words.

-Privacy if they want it

It is so good of you to be there for them, and I’m sorry that anyone has to be there at all.
Be there to focus on the basic things that they are likely to forget. Get them food and water, find the hospital grief counselor, take care of the contacts for the rest of the family. Make sure their house and other affairs are in order. Don’t try to be everything they need, but be the one with the clear head to get them what they need.
And it will take time and support. Allow for those things.

I have no advice for you, but thoughts and prayers for you and the family. And good work for being there.

My advice is to be there for them and don’t say trite things like “I know this hurts now but it is all for the best”. Just sit there with them in the suckness of it and make sure they know that you are there for them.

To make things somewhat worse, Mrs. daveman is about 35 weeks pregnant and so far everything is OK. My wife was looking forward to the two of them going through motherhood together (even though it’s #3 for us and would have been #1 for our friend). I think it might be hard for her to see us after our baby is born. Tricky situation.
That’s hard, too. If it’s hard for them to see you guys, I hope it doesn’t hurt you too much :(

That could certainly happen . This happened to one of my best friends recently. She had a really hard time even meeting our mutual friend’s new baby since they were due at the same time. The best thing is to understand if your friend gets into the situation.
My recommendations:
What to do:
-When she allowed me to see her, i was pretty fussy and made myself busy at her house (dishes, put away groceries, clean the counter) so she wouldn’t feel like i was just staring at her and expect her to entertain me.
-food. i dropped by with food all the time.
-im female so i don’t know how comfortable you are but i would just go and sit with my friend and hold her hand in pretty much complete silence most times.
What to Say:
-when she wanted to talk i’d tell her stupid stories about my day or dating life or work. stuff that we’d talk about normally.
-i would text her once a day “thinking of you sweetie. i love you.”
-i asked her “do you want to talk about it?” and “how do you feel?”
-i’d never really ask, what can i do? more things like, " i can call you boss. hows that?" or “i can pick up your niece. i’m free.” i would try to suggest things.
Anyways i’m SO SORRY for your friend’s loss. Agreed that this is WAY BIGGER than Tosh.
X.
Fire Starkey. You... complete me.
One other thing:
I shared my own feelings about the loss. I got attached to my soon-to-be god niece and i told my friend about my excitement to meet her and how we were gonna wear matching auntie/niece outfits and go shopping and be totally fabulous together. She appreciated it. I think it helped her know that her daughter was loved by so many people.
Fire Starkey. You... complete me.
Thanks sincey — this is great advice. I know we’re going to have to feel it out for awhile since we’re still expecting and as much as we’d all like to think that it won’t affect her, I’m sure that it will be difficult. Right now, she has asked my wife to be there with her so she’s at the hospital to help her sort through her feelings. She’s also bringing some food for the family. Some other close friends are taking care of the baby furniture, carseat, etc. and storing it away for them.
The healing process from all of this is going to take some time.
Ick, I never thought about unscrambling all the baby room prep. Not cool.
You hang in there too!

Trust your instincts
I understand something of this. About 21 years ago, my sister lost a child she was carrying at about the same point in the pregnancy. I felt as if I was stepping into a minefield.
I’d imagine that you’re at a total loss for words because you realize how deeply shocked and hurt your friends are. I think this indicates that you’re a sensible and sensitive man.
Possibly the greatest gift you can give the grieving couple are these words, “I’m so sorry.” And a hug (if they’ll allow it).
Aside from that, it ’s all about support. Sometimes that means sticking around through the lingering silence. Sometimes it means giving the couple space to privately grieve. But in all cases it means listening with your heart and mind, actively engaged.
There is no manual for this kind of thing. Just be there and be open to the moment. I’m sorry for their loss.
"We do not seek men who will bravely lie down to die, but men who will fight valiantly to live."

We had a neighbor who lost a daughter during childbirth about 8 or so years ago and it almost ended their marriage. Happily, they made it through and now have a beautiful 6 year old daughter. I just remember when we had a neighborhood garage sale and they were selling all of their baby stuff (carseat, high chair, stroller, etc.) it was just so sad.
I have no perspective that could help you, but, for whatever they’re worth, additional prayers are headed your friends’ way.

I can’t add anything beyond what others have said, but it’s an event that hits especially hard for parents and even though the good thoughts of a complete stranger on the other side of the country don’t matter, your friends have mine anyway. Hopefully just the fact that you are there will lift them.

Thanks everyone for the good, sound advice. It’s amazing how thoughtful and wise this community is and I really appreciate it. You guys, most of whom I’ve never met before, are really wonderful people.
I just got back from the Alta Bates and it’s as expected. Because she’s technically not full term yet, they are going to have to induce her and it’s taking a long time. She’s received an epidural and is waiting around until she’s more fully dilated and then they are going to induce her labor.
It’s truly heart-breaking, but after visiting with her it’s clear how she wants to deal with this. She wants people to be with her and to cry with her. I think that the last thing she wants is to be alone through this process or for people to be afraid to come and see her. She was touched that so many people came today and I think it means a lot to her for her close friends who have known her for a long time to be with her.
Thanks again for all your thoughts, prayers and well wishes — again, it is very much appreciated during this very, very tough time.
I had a friend who had this exact same situation, but the lost baby was one of a set of twins which made it both better (one live, healthy baby to nurture and love) and worse (live baby is a reminder every minute of lost baby). My best advice to you is to acknowledge the loss, not just now, but over the next six months to a year. Also, if you can bear it, offer to clear out their nursery if they want it. We disassembled the second crib and removed everything that had to do with the second baby and my friend found that a big help that they didn’t have to do WORK as a result of their loss.

Remember the Italian ship captain who abandoned his ship while passengers were still trying to escape?
Turns out he has a perfectly good explanation as to why he ended up on a lifeboat.
The saga of the stricken cruise liner Costa Concordia took further twists Wednesday, with a warning from Italy’s environment minister that it could sink and news that the captain claimed he had slipped on deck and tumbled overboard to wind up in a life boat during the panicky passenger escape — and had not abandoned ship like a coward as accused.

The initial suspicions of “hacking” caused them to suspect a Cal prank. A fair assumption given that we Ducks are barely computer literate, and in fact spend most of our time squatting in a ditch poking up our noses.

And this is why I have a pet policy
Those expenses made national headlines in June when she won a precedent-setting case against the IRS. She claimed her rescue-related expenses were a donation to an IRS-approved charity, and should therefore be deductible. A U.S. Tax Court judge agreed.
But Van Dusen’s cat rescue operation started running afoul of authorities about two years ago when neighbors and other residents complained about the smell and condition of the cats.
Oakland Animal Services staff tried several times to persuade Van Dusen to voluntarily give up some of the cats. Once or twice she surrendered some cats, but then acquired more, staff said. Negotiations finally broke down entirely and the city grew increasingly concerned over the health condition of the animals. Finally, the city obtained a search warrant to seize them.

Please send a recipe to the person whose name is in position 1 (even if
you don’t know him/her) and it should be something quick, easy and
without rare ingredients. Actually, the best one is the one you know in

Baked Fish
Prepare a marinade using combinations of the following (with rough amounts listed, but feel free to adjust to your tastes):
1/2 c soy sauce
1 T sesame oil
1 T rice wine vinegar (or another acid of your choice)
1/2 t powdered ginger or 1 T slivered ginger
1 T chopped scallion
1 T chopped garlic
1/2 t honey
1 t red pepper flakes
Marinate fish fillets for about 30 minutes and remember to preheat oven to 350F. Bake for about 7 minutes and check for done-ness. The rest of the marinade can be reduced on the stovetop to be poured over the fish or served on the side.

Recipe for Indian nachos
Ingredients:
Papdi:
•1 cup all purpose flour (maida or plain flour)
•1/4 cup semolina flour (sooji)
•2 tablespoons oil
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/3 cup + 2 tablespoon lukewarm water
To garnish the papdi:
•Boiled potato, peeled and sliced into thin rounds (about the thickness of a quarter or 1/16″)
•Boiled or canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
•Plain yogurt
•Salt
•Roasted cumin seed powder (bhuna jeera)
•Red chili powder
•Hari cilantro chutney (recipe available on my site)
•Tamarind chutney (recipe available on my site)
Method
Papdi:
1.In a bowl mix flour, sooji, salt and oil.
2.Add the water a little at a time while kneading until it forms a firm dough
3.Cover the dough and set aside for 15 minutes or more.
4.Divide the dough into about 3 equal parts.
5.Take one section of the dough and roll it into 8″ diameter, fairly thin about thickness of dime. Do the same with the remaining 2 parts.
6.Prick firmly the rolled dough about 1/4 inch apart with a fork, (this is done so the papdi do not puff while frying) and cut them in about 1 1/2″ squares with a sharp knife.
7.Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
8.The frying pan should have at least 1 1/2 inch of oil. To check if the oil is ready, just put a small piece of dough in the oil. The dough should sizzle right away but come up to the surface slowly. If the dough rises immediately, let the oil cool slightly and try again.
9.Make sure to place just enough papdi to cover top of the oil in the frying pan in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd. Fry the papdi until both sides are a light golden-brown.
10.Remove cooked papdi with a slotted or mesh spoon and transfer to a plate.
11.Continue cooking the remaining papdi in batches until all the dough is gone.
12.After the papdi cool to room temperature they should be crisp.
13.Papdi can be stored in airtight container for 1 month.

I didn’t read the recipe carefully. I forgot to add the peas and used 2 sticks of butter, instead of 1/2. Refusing to panic, I served my guests a small cup of the melted butter, to which I added a few chopped green onions, prior to the main meal (assorted Healthy Choice dinners. I told my guests it was “Paula’s Special Soup”. It got rave reviews. Now I have to send everyone the recipe. Thanks, Paula. Highly recommend.

First, I appreciate the instructions in this recipe that were clear, but the “easy” designation? It was convenient that Chef Deen clarified the butter—ha ha!—by noting that 1/2 stick of butter equals 1/4 cup. That saved some complicated math!
However, the “drained” thing threw me for a loop. I wasted an afternoon trying to find a can of drained peas before asking a woman if she could help me, and it was pretty embarrassing. I suppose it all worked out, because she thought it was kind of cute that I thought you could buy pre-drained peas, and asked me over for a dinner from some of Chef Deen’s other recipes. The English peas turned out just great with a little help from my new friend Annette, and went perfectly with Boiled Hot Dog on Hot Dog Bun, in particular, and she’s promised to walk me through that one soon. She suggested I work up to it with one of Chef Deen’s intermediate recipes first, though, like Opened Bag of Chips Adjacent to Opened Can of Dip.

2011 World Cup Champions Team India
Heh heh, balls
Note to self: don’t go train surfing in Indonesia
Railway staff in Indonesia have started hanging concrete balls above train tracks to try to prevent commuters from riding on carriage roofs.
The first balls were installed just above carriage-height near a station outside the capital, Jakarta.
More will be put up elsewhere if they are found to keep people off the roofs.
Previous attempts to deter roof riders included spraying roofs with paint, spreading oil on carriages and hiring musicians to perform safety songs.
Correspondents say those initiatives have failed. Officials hope that the latest move will prove to be the ultimate deterrent.
Roof riders also face the possibility of imprisonment.
The balls – which can deliver a severe blow to the head - will be suspended a few inches above the tops of carriages at points where trains enter or pull out of stations, or where they go through crossings.

Manning’s father, Archie, laughed when told of Lowe’s tweet, telling ESPN’s Chris Mortensen “He ain’t retiring.

Report: Tebow played second half of Patriots game with considerable injuries
The score was 35-7 at halftime of the AFC divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. Even with the fully functional version of his offense, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was going to have a tough time coming back from that kind of deficit. As it turns out, Tebow played most of the second half of that game with some fairly considerable physical handicaps.
As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tebow took a hit in the third quarter that tore cartilage attaching his ribs to his sternum, bruised one of his lungs and caused fluid to build up in his chest. In the two nights after the game, Tebow had trouble sleeping because of the pain, and he underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage.
The amazing thing was that Tebow actually passed more often, and with slightly more success, in the second half — though his “passing success” is a bit of a stretch in either half. He completed 3 of 10 passes for 28 yards in the first half, and 6 of 16 for 108 yards in the second half. Admittedly, the Pats could play prevent and off coverage through the entire second half, especially when Tom Brady’s sixth touchdown pass of the game made the score even more out of reach in the third quarter.

Rangers, Yu Darvish reach deal
ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish will be pitching in a Texas Rangers uniform in 2012.
Darvish has agreed to a six-year deal worth $60 million just prior to Wednesday’s 4 p.m. CT deadline.
The agreement comes 30 days after the Rangers won the right to negotiate with Darvish and his representatives, Don Nomura and Arn Tellem, by submitting a record $51.7 million posting bid. The club will now send the Nippon-Ham Fighters that payment and Darvish will come to the United States to pitch in the big leagues for the first time.
The 25-year-old Darvish was 18-6 last season in Japan with a league-high 1.44 ERA and 276 strikeouts. He walked just 36 batters in 232 innings. Scouts have raved about Darvish’s fastball command and what some say is a seven-pitch repertoire, which includes about everything but a changeup.
had hoped the dodgers or angels would’ve bid for him. star japanese pitcher in socal again? would’ve been fun fun.
I hate the Angels, so I would have preferred the Dodgers. Granted, given their finances, it was impossible…
Kuroda – as much as I love him, is 38. So I understand letting him walk. But Harang and Hairston? Not much help.
Yeah he’s 38 but I think given the current rotation, he’s #3. I’d take him over Lilly, Evoldi, anyone else but Kershaw and maybe Billz. Billz hasn’t impressed me much. He pitched well the 1 game I went to (after laboring the 1st) last year.
Hopefully Padilla gets healthy. I don’t remember if he is under contract. I just love his soap bubble changeup.

those Japanese League posting deals are hella crazy. I think the better move is to just yank their chain by winning the bid and then being “unable to reach a deal with the player”. No cost at all.

i actually prefer to make it myself, but that sounds good too. also, making it yourself lets you vary the amount of chutney, etc.

A lot of the excitement of pani puri comes from having it served. And, you know, you can tell them how to vary the chutney.
Then when there’s like five of you eating, it’s significantly more exciting. It’s a group activity.

australian open highlights
John Isner made a go for it, but ultimately fell short of his 70-68 match at Wimbledon in 2010. he only managed to get to 10-8, winning his match in 4 hours, 40 minutes.
his opponent, David Nalbandian, got screwed over by a bad umpiring decision. the chair umpire ruled that Nalbandian had taken too long before initiating a challenge of Isner’s serve on break point at 8-8. instead of getting a second serve to look at on break point, Isner got a free point to bring it to deuce, closed out the game to go up 9-8, and proceeded to break Nalbandian and win at 10-8. raw deal.

The Giants are going all the way!
That sentiment would draw cheers in San Francisco during baseball season, but drew jeers when Vice President Joe Biden mixed up the city’s baseball and football teams during a campaign event this afternoon.
Biden, speaking at an event in San Francisco’s Financial District in support of President Obama’s re-election, told supporters that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl,” according to media reports.
When the comment drew boos from the crowd, Biden quickly apologized, saying he was used to talking about the San Francisco Giants’ baseball victories, then clarified that he meant to say “49ers.”
Obama’s fucked!

Tosh pitches boats
This guy pitches you with a helicopter
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Mizzou’s Gary Pinkel flew in to see Hillcrest High School’s Dorial Green-Beckham, literally.
Hillcrest TV caught Pinkel’s helicopter landing on Birmingham Field at the end of the school day to visit with Green-Beckham. It’s one of several visits between Pinkel and the star high school player throughout his stellar high school career.
Arkansas Head Coach Bobby Petrino visited Green-Beckham during class too Wednesday. Petrino, instead, drove to the school. Reports say the 6’6", 220-pound receiver will visit the Fayetteville campus this weekend.
A photo on Twitter shows Green-Beckham seated at the controls of the helicopter.
Signing day is February 1.

SOPA blackout: Bills lose three co-sponsors amid protests
Three co-sponsors of the SOPA and PIPA antipiracy bills have publicly withdrawn their support as Wikipedia and thousands of other websites blacked out their pages Wednesday to protest the legislation.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) withdrew as a co-sponsor of the Protect IP Act in the Senate, while Reps. Lee Terry (R-Neb.) and Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.) said they were pulling their names from the companion House bill, the Stop Online Piracy Act. Opponents of the legislation, led by large Internet companies, say its broad definitions could lead to censorship of online content and force some websites to shut down.
In a posting on his Facebook page, Rubio noted that after the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed its bill last year, he has “heard legitimate concerns about the impact the bill could have on access to the Internet and about a potentially unreasonable expansion of the federal government’s power to impact the Internet.”
Is this against the rules?

I seem to remember it being an issue that Reggie Bush “coincidentally” called Joe McKnight while Pete Carroll was on an in-house visit.
But maybe it was the coordination that was the problem, not the alum-contact itself.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
Makes sense. It’d be pretty hard to prove Sark asked Milloy to post that tweet.

San Francisco 49ersRecord: 13-3
* Alshon Jeffery, WR, South CarolinaThe 49ers got much better production out of the offense this season, but I still see a need for a big target on the outside, something Braylon Edwards wasn’t able to provide. Jeffery is an absolute beast, a guy who plays at more than 230 pounds and easily could top 6-foot-4 when he measures out. He goes up over corners and attacks the ball, catching it away from his body like a rebounder. The Niners struggled mightily in the red zone all season, and Jeffery might not be a burner but is the kind of player you can post up in the end zone to help solve that problem.

Andrew Bynum growing into a big thing for the Lakers
O’Neal doesn’t blame Bynum for his extended absences, saying he has been victim to “freak injuries” such as Kobe Bryant colliding with his knee during a game three years ago.
O’Neal said he preferred Bynum to Orlando’s Dwight Howard, widely considered the NBA’s top center and a player the Lakers have long coveted, because Bynum has a variety of post moves that Howard can’t match.
The former Lakers great was not ready to call Bynum a current Lakers great, though O’Neal conceded that Bynum, in his seventh season, was closing in on the franchise’s list of accomplished big men. O’Neal listed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the greatest Lakers center, followed by Wilt Chamberlain and George Mikan.
O’Neal, who spent eight seasons with the Lakers and retired last summer as the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history, would presumably be next, though he didn’t say.
“Here it’s all about the championships, it’s all about the stats and it’s all about the persona you bring,” O’Neal said of the aura surrounding the Lakers. "Unfortunately for [Bynum], he’s still under the Black Mamba [Bryant], so it’s still the Black Mamba’s house right now, but he’s playing great and I wish him well.
“Hopefully he will go down as one of the Lakers greats.”
Still only 24, Bynum isn’t ready to call himself “The Big” anything. He’s been a part of two championship teams on a journey that may not involve a move to Orlando if the Lakers decide there’s no need to upgrade at a position where they’re already well stocked.
Interesting proposal to eliminate tuition at UC
Thursday, as the regents conclude their two-day meeting, they expect to focus almost entirely on developing revenue sources beyond the state, and beyond tuition.
The students’ proposal fits right in.
Instead of paying tuition – currently at $12,192, not including mandatory fees, room, board or books – the “UC Student Investment Proposal” would require that students commit to paying 5 percent of their annual income for 20 years after graduating.
“Under this plan, no undergraduate student would have to worry about paying for their UC education while they are in school,” Chris LoCascio, president of “Fix UC” – the group of UC Riverside students that developed the idea – said in a written presentation to the regents.
The students calculate that, under the most conservative estimates, UC could triple its revenue over the next two decades to $4.6 billion. The plan would be phased in over several years, and students say UC would begin receiving more income from graduates than from tuition by year seven.
“The UC system will be far better off, financially under this proposed,” concludes the seven-page report submitted to the regents."
