Practice Doesn't Make Perfect in Ann Arbor--The Beginning of the End f
2009-08-30 23:05:00 Even before the 2009 season gets underway, controversy and scandal has found its way back onto the Michigan campus. On Saturday, Michael Rosenberg and Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press reported that the Wolverines have "consistently violated NCAA rules governing off-season workouts, in-season demands on players and mandatory summer activities under coach Rich Rodriguez." According to six current or former Michigan football players, practice sessions typically exceeded limits set by the NCAA and that members of the team's quality control staff were present for off-season scrimmages, another violation.The players, speaking on the condition on anonymity because they feared repercussions from coaches and fans, revealed that the time demands negatively affected academic performance and that players were forced to sign...

SMALLVILLE: The Beginning of the End?
2009-06-17 20:29:00 Not to start a panic or anything among SMALLVILLE fans, but… um, yeah, enjoy the upcoming ninth season because chances are, it’ll be the last. Looking to place blame? Thinking maybe the rising production costs (including the ever-growing salary of star Tom Welling) or the shrinking audience (season two averaged 6.3 million viewers a week while the eighth season reached only 3.7 million) will prove to be the show’s kryptonite? Possibly… but it’s beginning to look like an assisted suicide with the network itself playing the role of Dr. Kevorkian. Why do we say this? Well, the newly-released CW schedule (which you can see after the jump) reveals that the new season will air on Friday nights at 8 p.m. And while we’d love nothing more than to believe this is an attempt by the CW to reclaim the night — once home of CBS’ long-running powerhouses DALLAS and FALCON CREST — from those who’ve proclaimed it a dead zone, the fact that SMALLVILLE is not only the very last sh...

The Security Apartheid: The beginning of the end?
2009-06-09 02:00:00 Security has been notably absent from earlier evolutions in the computing industry. For long, the industry has evolved through two parallel universes: 1) The IT infrastructure universe creating innovative techniques to compute, communicate and store information with little to no security consideration and 2) the IT security universe trying to solve the security problems newly created by IT innovators.

EMail: The Beginning of the End?
2008-03-07 15:32:00 I was interested to read Ben Limberg's article on the BBC News web site this morning about how stressful email is becoming. It highlighted for me that spam continues to grow and it reminded me of my earlier article on this blog about the need to start tackling the phenomenon rather than hiding it. The BBC article suggests that around two million emails are sent every minute in the United Kingdom. The majority of reports I read suggest that spam currently accounts for around 95% of all email in circulation, so the BBC statement implies that an amazing 1,900,000 junk emails are sent every minute in Britain! Certainly, my own consulting practice's email logs have doubled in the last six months and I am pretty confident we are not getting that much more real email. The growth of spam seems to be as exponential as ever. In fact, what I used to think was a pretty cool feature - the pop up facility in Microsoft Outlook that notifies you of new email - has started to ...

Run 1, Week 7 (CT5K): The Beginning of The End :-(
2008-02-06 02:38:00 Even though the date on this post is 2/5/08, I didn't actually post it until 2/18/07, due to my illness.The basic facts I can recall is that I ran with my friend for 25 minutes around 6:30 pm or so. It was 57 degrees or so (but with wind chill factor felt much, much colder!) & rainy. Hadn't been feeling good all day, so I skipped my solo run but decided that I could probably stick it out & run with my friend. A very bad idea, looking back on it. Of course, as they say, hindsight is 20/20, & think I've learned my lesson. ;-)See details from the post, "Coming Up For Air," dated 2/8/08, for more details on this out-of-sync post & its subsequent explanation.

The Beginning of the End-Sci-Fi Monster Violence (Sick of Talk)
2008-01-29 02:44:00 Intense, heavy metal tinged grindcore from Texas. That's really all there is to say about the Beginning of the End. This record is by no means bad, or even boring, but if you're into the whole early Napalm Death sound, you should know exactly what to expect. There's a little bit of a punk rock edge to some of cool riffage and even some melody to some of the guitar work ("Gargantua" is a great example of both), but mostly this record is fast and faster. They remind me of the Hombrinus Dudes with a little more interesting guitar work. They especially remind me of the Hombrinus Dudes, though, because it sounds like they have split vocals (one being a deep growler and one that's more of a high-pitched shriek), but they only credit one vocalist, so I guess he's going back and forth, which helps keep this stuff interesting. The packaging isn't really exciting. Cool cover art keeping in the Japanese monster movie theme, but the inside is just band credits and a "thank you" list. The ...

The Beginning of the End
2008-01-07 15:49:00 Another piece of the puzzle fell into place last week as the economy slides into a recession. The manufacturing index fell to 48%, anything below 50 signals an economic contraction. The December jobs report was mixed. 18,000 new jobs were created but the unemployment index rose to 5.0%. Don’t be surprised to see the January or February jobs report turn negative, at which time the last remaining significant economic indicator will have slipped into the red. The likelihood of further declines in existing home values was reemphasized last week. Housing prices will have to fall 15% to return to their historical relationship with rents – the point at which renters will consider/be able to afford buying a house. Commercial real estate does not suffer from the same speculative excesses of the residential market but some cracks are appearing in commercial properties as well. Unsold houses being rented are impacting apartment owners, we...

Press Conference - Could this be the beginning of the end for Gordon Brown?
2007-10-08 08:32:00 As the title of this post suggests, could this morning's monthly press conference be the beginning of the end for Gordon Brown?Gordon has been lucky to have received a relatively easy ride from the media during his first few months as PM. However the events of last week are going to change all that. The press are not at all happy with the way they have been snubbed. First there was Gordon's refusal to take any of the dead tree journalists on his disastrous visit to Iraq. A few days later he snubbed them again. He announced his decision not to call an Autumn election in a one to one with his pet reporter Andrew Marr, leaving (as one reporter put it) the rest reporting from the gutter opposite No 10.Since then there has been a united criticism from the press, even from those normally loyal to the left. Brown has made a massive miscalculation: you can dump on the public and get away with it, but not the press. It's the press that put Prime Ministers into No 10, and it's the press t...

The Beginning Of The End For The Dishonorable Senator Kennedy?
2007-09-07 08:38:00 It seems as though he has fallen from grace from his moonbat fringe fruit loops. This is what happens when you try and please everyone to save your political stature. You wind up pissing everybody off, eventually.If you recall, Kennedy and his merry band of double standard bearers didn't want Wind Farms erected because they would block their views of Nantucket Sound. It has returned to bite him in his butt. Liberal darling Ted Kennedy has run afoul of the left over his opposition to a controversial wind farm project in Massachusetts. Liberals ?are now heaping scorn on the 73-year-old senator,? reports syndicated columnist Froma Harrop. ?Young audiences boo at his name, and the leftish ?Daily Show? on Comedy Central makes fun of him.? The energy-producing wind farm on Nantucket Sound was slated to be the first such project in the U.S., and polls showed that 84 percent of state residents favor it....But the project has been ?frustrated at every turn by a handful of yachtsmen,...

The Beginning of the End for McCain?
2007-06-25 05:17:00 It seemed almost inconceivable last year that we will be talking about a faltering McCain campaign and the possibility that he will eventually drop out of the race. But lately, Republican insiders see the exit of McCain as a strong possibility by this fall if his poll numbers continue to slide and money becomes scarce.McCain used to be touted as the presumptive frontrunner and was widely expected to be handed the nomination, however, it has not been a traditional presidential race. With the Iraq war looming heavy on the shoulders of McCain and his adamant support for the recent Immigration Bill, he has alienated Democrats, Republicans and independents alike. Before that, it was his mad dash to the right, which tarnished his maverick personality. Now, he is trying to reclaim that perception.Since the campaign started, McCain has had one too many flops on the trail. His fundraising numbers were good, but were not up to par and with Giuliani?s star power and appeal to the middle, he ha...
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is
2007-06-18 10:32:00 Ok. So it?s not exactly WW2. The war is not going to cost millions of people their lives. But it is a war that appears to get more coverage than the British presence in Afghanistan. That?s- right ? It?s the high definition DVD wars. Sony vs. Hitachi. Or as I like to call it, Betamax 2 ? this time it?s personal. Sony appear to have learnt from Betamax that having the best technology is not important. All that matters is people buying the product ? apparently. So I am sure that the company is delighted that Blockbuster is to use its Blueray disks exclusively. This does also mean that there will be no high definition porn sold at Blockbuster. But hang on. Surely this war is less important. VHS won because it had better content and because the tape sizes were different. If Betamax could have played VHS tapes then surely it would have won. But there are devices out there that now play both Blueray and HDDVD. So I?ll plu...

The beginning of the end of DRM?
2007-04-02 14:51:00 Let's hope this sticks, and that others come on board. Apple and EMI have announced that EMI is dropping DRM from its digital catalog, and offering higher quality to boot (256 kbps AAC vs. 128 kbps). It'll cost you 30 cents more per track (to $1.29) for DRM-less tracks on the iTunes store, but that's a price I'll gladly pay. It sounds like you will even be able to upgrade previously purchased tracks for the aforementioned 30 cents, and full albums will automatically come without DRM (with no price increase). I don't think I need to go into how huge this is. Full press release here. DRM-free tracks should start appearing in May.
