Jeeze, I'm glad you guys are OK. I submitted your description of the incident into our internal safety reporting system. They usually follow up within a couple of days. Would you mind emailing me your contact info in case they follow up with more questions?
Hoek, I am so sorry you have to deal with all of this.
I have to ask - what happened to your Suburban? I work at GM and depending on the circumstances may be able to connect you with someone to look into it.

Depends heavily on where you are, how close you are to the TMo tower, and whether you have a convenient location with good reception to put the box. I tried it for a couple weeks but found that for my situation, the latency was just too bad for high quality video calling.
(Which is too bad--I really wanted to like it, and I got in during their promo $30/mo lifetime offer.)
"The NCAA ... asserts that its compensation rules are procompetitive because those rules help define the product of college sports. Specifically, the NCAA says that colleges may decline to pay student athletes because the defining feature of college sports, according to the NCAA, is that the student athletes are not paid.
In my view, that argument is circular and unpersuasive. The NCAA couches its arguments for not paying student athletes in innocuous labels. But the labels cannot disguise the reality: The NCAA’s business model would be flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America. All of the restaurants in a region cannot come together to cut cooks’ wages on the theory that “customers prefer” to eat food from low-paid cooks. Law firms cannot conspire to cabin lawyers’ salaries in the name of providing legal services out of a “love of the law.” Hospitals cannot agree to cap nurses’ income in order to create a “purer” form of helping the sick. News organizations cannot join forces to curtail pay to reporters to preserve a “tradition” of public-minded journalism. Movie studios cannot collude to slash benefits to camera crews to kindle a “spirit of amateurism” in Hollywood.
Price-fixing labor is price-fixing labor. And price-fixing labor is ordinarily a textbook antitrust problem because it extinguishes the free market in which individuals can otherwise obtain fair compensation for their work."
"capability for Level 5" probably means that they have sensors capable of sensing the world around them and actuators capable of steering, shifting, braking, etc. Those are the easy parts. What's missing is the software to make those things work with extreme reliability, and that's the piece everyone is still working on. The model X is capable of Level 5 autonomy in the same way that a decapitated body is capable of walking - technically accurate, but the brain is a critical component for success.
This isn't a "cool story" so much as a pipe dream, but I've long wanted to take a ~1980 Corvette (the longer and curvier the front end, the better) and paint it like the football helmet. I mean, come on - imagine how great this would look with maize and blue wings.
(Also, I work at GM so I'm totally biased, but I love the new model.)
I work at an OEM in a capacity in which I get to see all of our autonomous technology coming down the pipeline. It's much closer than a lot of people think.
Yes, in the short term you'll see deployment in areas where the robots don't need to deal with snow or other difficult weather conditions, but the technology is getting better all the time. They'll be everywhere before too long.
There is some good advice above (esp. the bit about putting the baby blanket in the dog's crate), but every dog is going to be different. What works with one dog may not work for others.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend having a dog trainer do a consultation. We did this the last time we adopted a dog, and it was SO helpful. (It's not quite the same as your situation, since we were introducing a new dog into our existing household of two kids and one dog.) She came over before we brought the new dog home, met our kids and our current dog, suggested some exercises we could do with the current dog to make sure the introduction would go well, and gameplanned how to actually introduce them. She also came over again shortly after we brought the second dog home to work with the two dogs together. With her help, everything went smooth as butter.
If you're in the Ann Arbor area, Hannah Ashmore (http://www.longsnouts.com/) is fantastic and reasonably priced. If not, perhaps other folks in your area can make recommendations.
I've never tried medical marijuana as a treatment, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. But if your wife is looking for treatment options aside from pharma, I highly recommend meditation. I took a vipassana meditation class a few years ago, and it's developed into a regular practice. I've had some breakthroughs while sitting in meditation that have totally changed how I relate to my thoughts and emotions. It got me out of some really self-destructive cycles.
Per Quantcast, mgoblog had about 400k unique visitors last month, with over 7 million total page views. (I personally accounted for a sizeable fraction of that.)
UMHoops has a much lower volume. Over the last month--which has to be peak season for a basketball blog--they've got about 120k uniques and less than 600k views. A typical month looks to be more like 40k uniques and around 200k page views. It's a lot harder to make a living on advertising revenue with those numbers.
I've been bringing my cars there for over a decade now. They do solid work, the rates are reasonable, and they are really dedicated to keeping their customers satisfied. Highly recommended.
The other services may have a larger user base (Spotify) or play nice with the Apple ecosystem (Apple Music), but for pure music streaming I enjoy Google Play Music. Their radio stations have, to my taste, the best music selection.
We've had a couple of Chevy Traverses and really liked them. The third row has enough room to be a realistic option when you have extra folks, or you can fold the seats down for extra storage during the rest of the time.
The Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia are the same platform, and drive essentially the same. You just get slightly different bells and whistles depending on which model and trim package you go with. I test-drove both before buying my wife's (2016) Traverse, and liked them equally well. In our case, we got the best bang for our buck by getting a mid-level Traverse, but that could vary depending on which features you're looking for.
There's not much to do in South Bend aside from visiting ND, whereas Evanston alone is Ann Arbor-sized. When you add in the fact that you've got all of the resources of Chicago just down the road, it's a no-brainer.
I went to Northwestern Law, though the law campus is downtown so I hardly spent any time in Evanston. The few times I was up there, campus seemed really nice - the setting on the lake is fantastic. I would suggest staying in Evanston if possible, since you'll really want to get a feel for the area around campus. When you want to go downtown, just hop on the purple line - it's easier than dealing with parking downtown, anyway.
(Though if you anticipate that the purpose of this trip will be more for fun than for campus visits, the inverse is true as well - it's easy enough to stay in Chicago and take the purple line up to Evanston and back.)
I understand your points, but we've got the #1 defense in the country, we're scoring 50 ppg, and your expectations are LOWERED? I'll have some of whatever you were smoking this offseason.
If you look at the way he's moving as he enters the frame from the left, he appears to be off-balance after disengaging from #76 and half-falling into the QB. I don't think it was an intentional hit.
If you click through and look, he only has two CB predictions, both for OSU, both made nearly a year before he committed to us. No new predictions in the aftermath of his decommitment.
I'm pretty sure that there was no way to comment for the first couple of years.
The comment section in its current incarnation is about 8 years old. Prior to that (back in the blogspot days), the site used a system called Haloscan, which was full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. But if I remember right, even Haloscan was implemented well after the founding of the blog.
When a user hails a car through Lyft, the user tells you a) where they are, and b) where they're going. Lyft/GM can make sure that they only send out the autonomous vehicles when the route between the start and finish points is well-mapped and navigable by our new robot overlords.
As techological capabilities and mapping data improve, they can gradually increase the variety of routes to which they send out the autonomous vehicles.
I saw the Beach Boys 50th anniversary tour a couple of years ago. Unless his condition has improved dramatically, I doubt Brian Wilson will be doing much of anything on this summer tour.

Matilda was my go-to UM bar while I was in law school. Much less of a shit-show than Duffy's was. Good beer and food, too.
I could not have afforded to attend Michigan without a scholarship they endowed. Met him a couple times as a student - really cool dude.

And good call on the $41.07.
Which is why I spent my remaining per diem at a bar on the Riverwalk before heading to the airport.
